James A. Kane Jr.

Very professional & good bedside manner. Hoff. Estes. office staff superior & very accommodating.

Dr Kane Jr kept my baby and me safe through the most nerve-wracking medical experience I’ve ever had to have: getting my gallbladder removed while I was pregnant. He was also honest, explaining that while he had never lost either baby or mother during this procedure in the many years he’s been in practice, there is still some risk involved in the surgery procedure. I am so grateful he was my doctor.

Dr. James M. Kane and his father may he Rest In Peace. Changed my life 20 years ago. The best in this field. I was 415lbs. I now weigh 157lbs with no recent weight gain. But it’s more than weight lost. It’s family they are the most efficient Dr. staff. Friendly and professional. Thank you for your help.

I visited Dr. KANES office in 12/2018 for a consultation (verbal only, $400 out of pocket) where I was immediately given the green light to move forward. About 8-9 tests were written for me by Dr. KANES office even though I explained that I did not have a PCP. I was told to simple call each office and set appointments to fill the orders. Before leaving, I saw a nutritionist onsite ($116 out of pocket) mandatory. I proceeded to fill the orders and not one of the doctors would see me without a PCP acknowledgement and approval. I was gridlocked by some underlying insurance issues and could not select a PCP immediately. By the time everything was straightened out, I contacted Dr.Kanes office to get new test orders, and was informed that another $400 conversation would need to take place first. No recourse... Over $500 spent to start my journey and never left gate.

Dr. Kane had obviously obvious looked at my chart. He had decided on a specific procedure for a specific reason, even before speaking with me. Testing showed problems with my liver. I wanted to know if this was a concern as I have a family history of liver cancer. When his assistants were unable to answer my questions Dr. Kane called me and treated me like a child. He insisted that he had done 20,000 of these procedures and knew what he was looking for. Unfortunately, he failed to understand that I had never been through one of these procedures and don't know anything about them. His "reassurance" was not helpful. Dr. Kane directed me to schedule my surgery. I attempted to do so less than 16 hours later, but I was informed by the scheduling department that Dr. Kane had put notes in my file preventing me from doing so. I then left one calm voicemail indicating my frustration with un-returned calls and stating that I was beginning to feel skeptical about continuing my relationship with their clinic. Instead of someone calling to reassure me as to their intentions and dedication to my treatment, Dr. Kane called me personally to inform me that due to my inability to play nice with him and his staff, I was no longer welcome at their clinic. During my treatment Dr. Kane had decided to switch from the initially planned procedure to a different one. That he did this confused me, but the more disturbing action was that he did so without telling me or my primary care physician. I learned of the switch from the scheduling department and my PCP learned from me. Dr. Kane had not even filed the change in my chart so that my PCP would know about it during my next appointment. None of the office staff was ever anything other than nice to me, but they had some aversion to returning calls when voicemails were left for them. Having surgery has huge risks involved. You expect that the doctors and their staff are going to engender trust in their abilities as a physician. You expect them to treat you with compassion, understanding and respect from beginning to end. This never happened with Dr. Kane. He did not seem to care what questions or concerns I had during my consultation, as evidenced by his getting up and leaving almost immediately after telling him I had them. I felt as though this doctor, and this clinic as a whole, wanted to push me through as if I were on an assembly line. I am angered by the treatment I received, but I feel relieved that Dr. Kane will not be touching me with sharp objects.
