Patient Experience & Approach
Breast cancer patients say the Dr. Vedant Kabra conversation about conservation versus mastectomy happened honestly. Families dealing with GI cancers appreciate the robotic approach, which meant smaller wounds and the patient was eating and moving sooner than expected. His tobacco advocacy work tells you something about character: a surgeon who fights to prevent cancer, not just treat it once it shows up.
