This doctor is an excellent surgeon. Never a delay to be seen. He listens to his patients. Most of all, he does not defer his patients to a Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant. He is with the patient from day one and is through to the recovery to the release.

I called his office on Thursday and said I had to take my sister to another appointment in Des Moines, and wondered if possible I could be seen the next day. Called back, worked me in. Got my injections, he stopped by to see how things we’re going for me. You think I was with a small town Iowa Doctor. Thanks for taking care of the Bargainman from Centerville.

Upon arrival, I had very little wait time. Dr. Khoriaty identified what he saw on my xrays and mri, the potential cause and effect of treatment or not, and then outlined how he would treat the injury. All in a very direct and polite manner. I felt confident at ease with the decisions and care

Dr K was very open and friendly right when he came in the door to meet me. I loved his honesty and he engaged immediately and got down to business. I was in the office quickly, had an xray and he came right back in to talk about it. After one more procedure , I was out the door. All very good. I rate him highly !!!

Doc performed much-needed surgery on both my sons and shoulders, and now it was my turn. He’s always been extremely knowledgeable with an awesome bedside manner. My son has had incredible relief in pain and increased mobility since his surgeries. I’m fully anticipating the same. It went off without a hitch, and I’ll be back to see him for my left shoulder in a couple months. Highly recommend him!

I saw Dr. Khoriaty recently for severe shoulder pain….He made excellent use of the time during my appointment – ordering X-rays prior to seeing me & then after examining my shoulder thoroughly, he gave me options such as a Cortisone injection, PT, or an MRI which I truly appreciated! I was very impressed!
