Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Kane has always been very knowledgeable , and down to earth, his staff is wonderful .Dr.Kane gave my life back to me ,thank you.

Great surgeon
Dr.Kane did my surgery and he was very professional in explaining everything to me. I have lost 90 pounds this far and I'm very thankful for him saving me from myself. I'm only 6 month post op and can't wait to get under 200 pounds. Thanks Dr.Kane

I had a gastric sleeve, cholecystectomy and hiatal hernia repair by Dr. James Kane. I have to tell you Dr. Kane is AMAZING. He was patient and answered all my questions. The surgery went very well. Recovery was quick and easy. The staff is very organized and everyone I dealt with was pleasant. I am three months out from surgery and feeling fantastic. Thank you Dr. Kane and staff.

I called office very anxious to get in due to an extended stomach. Dr Kane performed surgery on me 4 yrs ago w a perforated colon. I was given an appointment same day. Knowing how worried I was they got me in ASAP. Dr Kane diagnosed me w a hernia. He eased my mind answered all my questions, and surgery has been scheduled. Every step from calling for appt. to scheduling the surgery w Mona, has been exceptional. I have referred and will continue to refer anyone in need to this wonderful practice.

Dr Kane is excellent he spent the time with me I needed and answered all my questions. Dr Kanye also did an outstanding job on skin removal on my arms ams stomach. I can’t wait to get my legs done. I have all the faith in the world they will turn out as awesome as my arms did. Thank you so much Dr Kane. My weight loss surgery went off without a hitch and as you can probably guess I reached my goal and went on to have excess skin removed. He did it all!

My procedure was switched without me or my PCP being informed. Physicians assistants could/would not answer questions. I received conflicting information from one person to the next. Many of my calls were not returned. Rather than reassuring me when voicing questions I had about his concerns with my liver he berated me over the phone.

No longer a doormat! in Mount Prospect, IL – Aug 18, 2017
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Kane Jr?
I have been a patient of Dr. Kane for over 10 years. He has performed multiple procedures on me throughout the years and I have always had the ultimate confidence in him. However, recently it feels as though he has become too busy to actually treat his patients. At my most recent appointment I felt as though he was annoyed with the fact that I was still in pain post-op and basically accused me of drug seeking. Unfortunately I will be looking for a new doctor.

I seen Dr. Kane for revision surgery I had 20yrs ago. Dr. Kane assured me that he was going to help me. When I had my first surgery I didn't have to go through such a thorough program but Dr. Kane's program started the same day with testing. I received a call from Dr. Kane not a nurse or a receptionist to tell me what the next step was. He is a great Dr. as well as his staff. There is no wait in the office and answered all questions I had. I will update my post after surgery in June.

Dr. Kane is great, but there is such a rude and incompetent front desk staff and the rudest billing supervisor I have ever met. This office has really declined in customer service. So glad I don't have to visit there anymore. Watch them - they bill wrong, mess up insurance billing and forget to collect co-pays and then penalize the patient for their incompetence.
