Testimonials

I had to have surgery last year and the doctor who was supposed to do the surgery got called to a hospital emergency, and they assigned Dr. Khalifeh to me. I wasn't worried at all. I had done my research on the doctors beforehand and I knew Dr. Khalifeh was so qualified. When she spoke with me before the surgery, she was so kind, calm, told me the plan and what would happen. She put me at ease with her confidence and patience. I then saw her for follow ups after the surgery. She was consistently extremely kind, patient, a good listener, answered my questions, and calmed my concerns. I had to possibly have a 2nd surgery, but Dr. Khalifeh never pushed it on me. She gave me alternative options to try first, which ended up working - I am all healed now! She always said she would follow my lead on what I wanted to do and what I felt comfortable with. I have met so many doctors who push you to do surgery again or go to the extreme. Dr. Khalifeh never did that. She always made me feel seen, heard, understood, and that my opinion mattered. I very, very highly recommend her. She is the absolute best of the best. Dr. Khalifeh is a doctor that feels like family. When you see her, you know you will be just fine because she is extremely talented in her surgical and interpersonal skills. She is one of a kind and she helped me immensely. Having her as my doctor was the best experience ever.

Dr. Kalifeh is awesome. She's always made me feel at ease with the whole experience. She shows general interest in who.I am as a person and keeps me informed on course of actions and plans. Highly recommend her to all.

I now have had a couple of appointments with Dr. Kuta. Never have I felt rushed during my appointment. I have felt completely comfortable to ask any questions or address any concerns I may have.

I would give zero stars but you are required to give at least one star. This is an updated review of my experience with Dr. Kimberly Matzie at Fairfax Colon & Rectal Surgery which has been deeply troubling and life-altering. In August 2020, Dr. Matzie performed a robotic surgery to correct a rectal prolapse using mesh. Unfortunately, this procedure has resulted in four years of excruciating pain, three additional surgeries at renowned institutions, including the Cleveland Clinic and medical facilities in Atlanta and Zurich, Switzerland, and nearly $90,000 in out-of-pocket expenses. Despite these efforts, I have found no relief. From the beginning, her approach to my care was marred by negligence and dismissiveness. During my only post-op visit with Dr. Matzie, I expressed concerns about severe post-surgical pain. I cannot state the exact words she used, as they will not post that in a review, but essentially her response was unprofessional, saying, ‘I hate to be harsh, but you need to just suck it up.’ This lack of empathy and support made an already difficult recovery process even more challenging. The complications stemming from the initial surgery have significantly impacted my quality of life, and I now face the probability of undergoing another major surgery (highly recommended by Cleveland Clinic) to remove my large intestine and live with a colostomy bag. This is a devastating prospect. Something that should have never happened. While I acknowledge that medical outcomes can vary, I feel compelled to share my story as a cautionary tale for others considering similar procedures. I strongly urge anyone seeking care for colorectal issues to thoroughly research and seek second or even third opinions before proceeding with treatment. And I would definitely stay away from Fairfax Colon & Rectal Surgery!

Dear Doctor Plerhoples. Approximately 2 1/2 years ago I was diagnosed with colon cancer . I was blessed to have Doctor Plerhoples as my surgeon. I was also diagnosed with severe Crohn’s disease . I was severely inflamed making surgery almost impossible. Several doctors including my oncologist, and gastro doctors suggested that surgery while I was inflamed was risky . Dr.Plerhoples said it was imperative he perform the surgery immediately and remove the cancer mass. He knew the operation needed performed to remove the cancer mass from my body immediately. He was super confident, experienced, and a amazing surgeon. I was blessed to have him perform a successful surgery . It’s been 2 1/2 years since my operation and I will never forget Doctor Plerhoples. Thank you and god bless you . Your an amazing surgeon. I wanted you to know I’m grateful you were my surgeon. Good bless . Sincerely. Robert J Gilchrist Rgilchrist1969@yahoo.com.
