Dr. Golshani is an Orthopedic Surgeon that I had never met before. I, unfortunately tried to be a good guy and try to save a kitten from a bad home, and it turned out, even before the kitten came to my home it was diagnosed by the Vet with Giardiasis and Chronic Heart Disease. When I paid the “bad breeder” I didn’t know all of this info. But to get back on track, the Kitten was only 14 weeks old and had a massive coronary and was barely breathing one morning. I attempted to give it CPR with chest compressions, and because the kitten was in so much pain he basically mauled my hand and bit me 3-5 times, very deeply, all the way down to the bone.
Summerlin Hospital called Doctor Kevin (Kayvon) Golshani, and told him that I had osteomyelitis according to my primary MRI and CT scans, and the pain was no joke 20/10. I have been through 4 back surgeries, and this feline bite waiting for the I&D (Incise & Drain), was far more painful than any of my other surgeries. The smell of the drainage coming off the wound was absolutely rancid as well, it just amazed me how quickly the infection set in with this feline bite. My advice to anyone reading this review? NEVER WAIT!! EVEN IF YOU YOU THINK THEY LOOK BAD!!! YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT KIND OF INFECTION IS BREWING UNDER YOUR SKIN.
I personally, do not trust very many Vegas Physicians. I feel like the term “Treat Them and Street Them” is used way too often in Las Vegas. I had my first I&D done the end of October, and towards the end of November I returned to Summerlin Medical Center because my wound was still quite painful, still had a gap, and I had radiating pain traveling from my index finger down into my wrist. Dr. Golshani had sent me home 4 weeks prior with IV antibiotics through my PICC line, but when Summerlin admitted me, they admitted me for pain control. They didn’t attempt to change the antibiotic, they unwrapped my finger when I first arrived at the ER, so basically I felt like I went to the hospital and stayed overnight there for 4 nights for no good treason at all. When I saw Dr.Golshani for my follow up visit 2 days later at his office, he couldn’t understand why the antibiotics weren’t changed, why another I&D wasn’t scheduled since I was in so much pain....
After Dr. Golshani and I had a few minutes to speak he said I had a choice; I could wait and see if the finger was going to continue to heal (I am a very-well controlled insulin dependent diabetic) or we could do another I &D since I was having pain and numbness, and radiating pain, there is enough of a reason to do one. There is a chance he may still find some infected tissue that both the MRI & CT scan missed.
Because I have been dealing with this horrible painful cat bite since 10/26/2020, I elected Dr. Golshani to complete the second I&D, and boy am I glad I did. Dr Golshani found more pockets of pus that could have been preventing the hand from fully recovering. Sometimes, going with the choice in your gut, is the way to go! He is a very kind, gentle, and compassionate Doctor who doesn’t believe in leaving his patient’s in the dark. He keeps the patient up to speed with all the steps and processes that he is about to start and his office “bed-side manner” is very courteous and professional. If you need to have ANY orthopedic hand surgeries done, I can say with 5 stars A+++++, you won’t find a kinder, more gentle doctor in Vegas, and probably anywhere close, so why bother looking?
