Wonderful physician/practice! I flew back to the USA to see my PCP for an acute onset of an issue. After a complete hysterectomy in 2004 because of endometrial & breast cancer, I didn't know what could possibly be causing these symptoms. My PCP immediately recommended Dr. Kahn's practice, and they saw me the next day. I didn't think my problem would be OB/GYN however Dr. Kahn is the BEST physician. He diagnosed the problem immediately and after two visits, I'm well on my way to recovery. What is amazing is his care, manner, he explained everything, he asked questions and I was so comfortable. I know selecting an OB/GYN is also a difficult decision. When my kids were born (late 80's), we didn't have a chance to select OB physicians at the military bases. I can only say if any women have an opportunity to select a OB/GYN, please consider Dr. Kahn! I cannot speak more highly of him, the care I received, the ability to work me into their schedule immediately. It is amazing when you can feel better immediately and to have a physician who has his experience and care! Amazing practice! I get to fly back now! I have no pain and all possible thanks to Dr. Kahn and his team!

I found Dr. Kahn after my primary physician, Emergency Room and Urgent Care physicians could not figure out what was wrong with me. Dr. Kahn diagnosed the issue within five minutes during my first visit. His understanding, great bedside manner and knowledge of my condition was so comforting and reassuring - the pain and symptoms I was experiencing weren’t in my head. I would highly recommend Dr. Kahn to any female who is looking for answers and hasn’t been able to find them following traditional k you Dr. Kahn.

I specifically sought a doctor within my insured network, with expertise in pelvic pain and discomfort. After researching, I recognized Dr. Kahn not only as an accomplished seasoned OBGYN, but also having obtained certification in the subspecialty of Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery.

Wanting the best for myself, he was my ultimate choice for care in resolving my issues. It was the right choice.

I opted for surgery, which went very smoothly and was surprisingly tolerable. The office operates efficiently; everyone was friendly, as well as reliable with follow-up. I appreciate they respect and value your time, posting a chart of each doctors status so you know of any delays. Throughout my visits I didn't witness any.

I'm thoroughly pleased with the results of my surgery 8 weeks ago, having recovered beautifully with VERY little post surgical discomfort. I was amazed how well it all went.

I'm grateful my course landed me in the hands of just the surgeon to maneuver my medical challenge.

After experiencing pelvic pain for several years and visiting many different doctors who told me nothing was wrong with me, I luckily found Dr. Bruce Kahn. Within the first 10 minutes of my exam, he knew I had interstitial cystitis and pudendal neuralgia. The IC was confirmed by a cystoscopy and the pudendal neuralgia was confirmed by severe pain with pressure on the pudendal nerve. Dr. Kahn helps me to relieve this pain with pudendal nerve blocks, bladder installations, and other medications. He is very professional and continues to improve his methods by furthering his research and participating in clinical trials. I highly recommend Dr. Kahn for help with pelvic pain.

Dr. Kahn recently did my complete (radical) hysterectomy in April 2018. He did a Da Vinci Robotic Hysterectomy. I went home the same day, about 3 hours after the surgery! Truly amazing! The recovery has been almost instant, with virtually no pain afterwards. (And this was a big surgery!) I can't say enough about how this was such a positive experience.
I'm now 3 weeks post surgery and doing fantastic. This 60 year old gal is soooo glad to have had this done and bring an end to years of dealing with cysts, fibroids, menses and all the pain, discomfort, concern, monitoring and inconvenience to life that they brought. I feel so relieved that all those issues are now gone forever!
Dr. Kahn has been my doctor for the past 5 years or so, and I have always had confidence in his knowledge, wisdom and experience. He is certainly a top notch physician. Thank you, Dr. Kahn for taking such good care of me.

I feel incredibly fortunate to have met Dr. Kahn and for the first time, there is light at the end of the tunnel for me. If you are struggling with a diagnosis or have abdominal pain, I HIGHLY encourage you to see Dr. Kahn! After 10+ years of pain and 20+ doctors he found a nerve causing me my pain. Incredible. I had 3+ other OBGYN's ready to schedule a hysterectomy because they thought my uterus or ovary was causing my pain when it is a NERVE!!!

I read through every comment before meeting with Dr. Kahn, even the negative ones. I see people irritated that he didn't caudle them. He is a very quick, fast paced doctor. He is smart, quick and knows what he is doing. I think the reason people feel this way is he is 10 steps ahead of you. He see's SO many people and helps SO many people. If you want your body taken care of, see Dr. Kahn. If you want your mind taken care of, see a therapist. I have zero complaints about my visits. He spent enough time with me and answered all my questions. He uses a microphone to take notes which is different from other doctors but I think this is much more efficient than typing will listening to patients.

Over the years I had been seen by multiple specialist for my chronic pain. Each of them had a different diagnosis and treatment. Some didn’t even provide a treatment plan. Last Sept I was at my wits end when yet another specialist told me she was referring me to a pain specialist to “take the responsibility” off of her. I was devastated and just wanted to give up. I decided to make one last effort and googled my symptoms and Dr. Kahn’s name came up. After reading some of his articles I had hope again. I contacted his office that day, Friday, and was given an appointment for the very next Monday. I was very apprehensive when I first got into his office but as soon as he walked in and he greeted me I knew I was in the right hands. He asked me very specific questions about my symptoms and quickly said, “We are going to make you feel better.” I had not been told that by any of the other specialists, and for some reason I can’t explain, I completely believed Dr. Kahn. Today is six months from that appointment and I can honestly say, he was right. I feel so much better since being treated by Dr. Kahn. I still have mild flair ups but nothing as debilitating as I did before and I know that I can contact his office for help if I need to. Dr. Kahn’s professionalism, bedside manner and passion for his job are commendable. Thank you Dr. Kahn! You have made my life enjoyable again!

Dr. Bruce S. Kahn's Credentials

Biography

Dr. Kahn is a board certified gynecologist and also was one of the first in the country to obtain additional subspecialty certification in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery (urogynecology). Thus he is able to treat the full spectrum of concerns related to the female pelvic organs. Dr. Kahn treats many complex gynecologic problems including uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, menstrual disorders, menopausal symptoms, contraception, infertility and more. He has particular expertise in treating difficult problems such as pelvic pain, interstitial cystitis (painful bladder syndrome), urinary incontinence, frequency and urgency (overactive bladder), as well as pelvic organ prolapse (uterine or vaginal prolapse). Whenever possible, Dr. Kahn seeks to find non-surgical solutions for his patients. However, when surgery is necessary, he strives to ensure that patients receive a minimally invasive procedure whenever possible. He has extensive experience in all type of pelvic surgery including vaginal, laparoscopic and robotic procedures. He was one of the first surgeons in San Diego to perform laparoscopic hysterectomy and more recently, he was one of the first to offer robotically-assisted single incision (“belly button”) hysterectomy.
