Dr. Kilkanis is great, friendly, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. The office staff was friendly and helpful. I picked a holiday week to visit, so apparently that's why my wait time was longer than usual.

I wish there a way to clone this doctor, his office, and staff. They’re what healthcare should look and feel like.
Karen and Alex - front desk - were so on top of things and personable. For them, I am so so so so grateful. I was probably Dr. Kalkanis’s last (or if not second to last) patient of the day, yet he took the time to listen to all of my concerns, gave detailed but clear explanations and provided future course of treatment.
They’ve redeemed my perspective on healthcare. Thank. You. All!
September 10, 2019Jinnie Y.Verified patient
Dr. Kalsanis was very polite and listened to all my problems. After a quick exam he not only diagnosed me but explained why I have the problems I do . In addition he told me how he would treat me and solve my problem so I wouldn't have it anymore.
Thank God, there is now hope to be free of my illness without getting rid of my 5 cats.
June 25, 2019Bobbi B.Verified patient
Doctor was great, helpful and knowledgeable. It took nearly an hour to see the doctor from when I got in. I had a 9am appt and didn't see the doctor till 10am.
A lot of waiting.
I'm hoping it was because I was a new patient, but I have a follow up appointment and we'll see.

I saw the doctor in his Temecula office. I did have bit of a wait but everyone in the waiting room reassured me he was worth it. Dr. Kalkanis spent as much time as I needed to clear up my many questions. I knew I needed my thyroid removed, however he and his staff made this process less stressful. I had so much anxiety-He even to came to the hospital on a Saturday to check on me. Great surgeon!
