Anyone used Dr. Niazy Selim at University of Kansas Medical Center?



Recommended Posts

I am having a meltdown. I know others have said it took them several months to get their surgery date. I have been trying for 7 months to get something done. I had to change doctors due to insurance change. That took time. I have done everything the ins. has required. Just can't get a surgery date. Not even a pre-surgery consultation. It seems that Dr. Selim has one secretary and she had an operation and has been gone. Does anyone know anything about Dr. Selim at KU Med. Center?

Hey there, lilred. I'm in the KC area and have heard of him but didn't use him. Have you asked the Yahoo KCBandster group too?

I know some of the area docs have so many new patients that the wait list for surgery can be several months. My doc even had a 2-3 month wait for fills for a while there, but he hired some new staff and its better now.

There was a surgeon at KU (I think - been a while) who, about 2 or 3 years ago, got some bad reviews here. The use of the needle or something like that, nothing about the surgery itself. And I really can't even remember if that was the surgeon. You might want to try running some searches on the surgeon's name or facility and see what you can come up with.

Hi Diane,

Thanks for the info. I guess I am just going to have to be patient. I am 59yrs old and 4'10" and 205lbs. I have had heart surgery and my cardiologist is having fits. On top of that, the weight is killing me. I get a little anxious because I know my heart can't take much. I had another doctor picked out but he only does the surgery at one facility and it isn't on my insurance. Again thanks for answering.
