I Trust Dr. Kedan with my Heart
Steve D, patient since 2020
As a kid growing up in the suburbs of New York, I always had a goal to move as far away from home as possible when I grew up. After finishing law school at Columbia, I finally made the move out to Los Angeles and fifty years later I’m still here.
"Dr. Kedan combines empathy, expertise, and a forward-thinking approach to cardiology that is hard to find. I trust him with my life." -Steve D.
Practicing law was never the plan, but my law degree has been invaluable as an entrepreneur. I helped build one of the first mobile marketing agencies delivering cutting-edge solutions that were among the first of their kind. Eventually, our success led to an acquisition by one of the largest marketing agency conglomerates in the world. The experience taught me about the promise of innovation and the opportunities that come from staying on top of the latest technologies. It’s a philosophy that I’ve embraced when it comes to my healthcare as well.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been proactive about my health, especially my heart health. I had a long-time cardiologist here in LA, but my experience wasn’t ideal. This doctor was brilliant but extremely old school and seemed to lack sensitivity to his patients’ time. People were often left sitting for hours just to see him. I trusted his knowledge but felt there had to be a better way. When he retired, I wasn’t even notified—just left without care. That’s when a close friend and business partner of mine, also a doctor, recommended Dr. Kedan. That recommendation truly changed my life.
From my first visit, it was clear that Dr. Kedan is everything a patient could hope for in a doctor and more. He’s warm, caring, and genuinely interested in you as a person. His medical knowledge and skills are top-notch, but what really stands out is his accessibility. The first time I needed him outside regular hours, I texted him, and he responded quickly, with compassion and genuine concern. He makes you feel like you’re his only patient, and you know he really cares.
“Dr. Kedan makes you feel like you’re his only patient, and his genuine care and accessibility are unmatched.”
Dr. Kedan’s office environment also reflects his approach: clean, modern, and welcoming. It’s not over the top, but it’s comfortable and calming, and I never have to wait long. His team is fantastic—everyone is professional and personable, and they clearly respect him.
One example that stands out is when I had three appointments in the same healthcare network. I wanted to get them all done in one day, and Dr. Kedan went out of his way to coordinate my schedule so that everything lined up perfectly, with him seeing me last. The extra steps he takes for his patients speak volumes.
Recently, after learning that my brother had a stent placed, Dr. Kedan suggested a CT angiogram for me. He found that I, too, had a 90% obstruction in the “widowmaker” artery and a fully blocked right coronary artery, but he explained how my body had developed collateral vessels to compensate. Dr. Kedan isn’t the one who performs procedures, but he guided me through each decision, explaining my options clearly. When I asked him what he would do in my shoes, he didn’t hesitate to share his own honest recommendation. I trusted him completely, and it was the right decision—my procedure went smoothly, and I’m grateful every day for his guidance and care.
Dr. Kedan combines empathy, expertise, and a forward-thinking approach to cardiology that is hard to find. He’s on the cutting edge of new research and treatments, and he’s young enough to embrace innovation without ever losing sight of what his patients need. There is nothing he or his team could do better. I trust him with my life and consider myself incredibly fortunate to have him as my doctor. If you’re looking for a cardiologist who combines innovation, experience, and genuine empathy, you won’t find anyone better."
