Reviews of Dr. David E. Konkin (Doctor)

I had laparoscopic gallbladder removal done with Dr Konkin at Eagle Ridge and the entire procedure from the first appointment to the end was fantastic. Dr Konkin has wonderful bedside manner, and did an excellent job on the surgery. He even fixed my giant belly button by stitching it tighter after removing my gallbladder! I would not hesitate to recommend him.

I went to Dr Konkin for a groin hernia consultation. The front staff are extremely professional and kind. Dr Konkin himself has an excellent bed side manner and was very warm and welcoming. I will be monitoring my hernia and following up with him should I need surgery. Just based on the exchange I had with him today I would be very confident to go under the knife and be in his care. I would recommend him to my family and friends. Thank you to Dr Konkin and his staff for making a stressful experience so pleasant.

Had inguinal hernia surgery in April and have been left disabled from poor pre operative, intra operative and post operative procedures. Complaint is on file with BC College of Physicians and Surgeons. This surgeon should not be trusted, ask for information on his sucesss/ failure outcomes.

Very knowledgeable and helpful. Super friendly & easy to talk to.

Vern Hilman

Maticulous, good hearted and thorough. He took a very personal approach in treatment and follow up care. Very pleased with what he was able to repair and how he very successfully repaired all the issues. He took on some very complex abdominal renovations and successfully corrected them with the maticulous precision he equates himself to. His staff is very approachable, helpful and understanding. Thank you very much

I appreciate Dr. Konkin's kindness and top notch surgical skills applied on my hernia repair. I’ve learned you made a 3 inch cut on my hernia area which seems to be easy to find a problem spot inside my lower belly. I believe it’s a very smart and fantastic idea to cover exact problemed spot with a surgical mesh. No guess is necessary, Dr. Konkin could find right spot with his own eyes and did perfect job. I’d decided to wait for 7days, which is longer than after surgery care instructions, before remove large patch of bandage, and waited two weeks in total until remove small sticky bandage which hold tight 3 inch cut on my lower belly. After 4 weeks, I’ve felt everything perfectly fine. I couldn’t feel any discomfort inside of lower belly and the surgical incision’s healed completely. I’ve thanked God to be a patient of Dr. Konkin, and appreciate to my family Doctor, Dr. Brown, recommending a good Surgeon.

Amazing Dr. who saved my 90 year old mother's life with a much needed hernia surgery. When no other general surgeon in Abbotsford would touch her or do their due diligence and refer her out , when they were not confident in their abilities. Thank You SIR !!!!! Thank God for doctors like you who meant it when they recited their Hippocratic oath, and believe in , trying to save a life without worrying about an unfavourable outcome on their record. Great Doctor / Surgeon / overall Human ✌????????

Dr. Konkin performed my laparoscopic hernia repair in April 2017 and my experience with him was quite positive. I found him personable and most importantly, the operation went very well and I had very little pain post-op. The nursing staff at Eagle Ridge Hospital was excellent as well. I highly recommend both.

Dr. Konkin performed my gallbladder removal surgery today. He has amazing bed side manner. He knew I was terrified and reassured me everything would be fine. Sure enough, he was right! He's confident, professional, kind and overall just a nice guy. I recommend him to anyone who needs a cholecystectomy. Thank you Dr. Konkin

I had a consultation with Dr David Konkin in regards to a Hernia. I did not use his services as I did not like his attitude... I got the impression that it was his way or no way with ZERO options.. I went back to my family doctor for a second referral.

Recently my spouse had a procedure done n it wasn’t done properly . Repeated calls were made to his office but to no avail. Very disappointed n frustrated with no response. He seems to be very uncaring about his patients.

This doctor gave me such a wonderful, friendly, and personal experience the whole way through from beginning to end. His bedside manner was so exceptional that any feelings of nervousness before surgery were immediately gone once you saw him and talked to him. Visited me before surgery and after. The repair was done so professionally. The post op pain was inevitable but this time around with Dr. Konkin recovery was twice as fast. I’d fully recommend this surgeon. Thank you Dr. Konkin for caring for the patients in your care.

Dr. Konkin performed a hernioplasty for a left inguinal hernia on me. In general, I am quite happy. I have had no problems since and recovered easily. I can't give him a great rating though because I found him to be hard to talk to. He seemed very short and robotic at times. I felt the "people" side of medicine was lacking in him.
