I Trust Dr. Kedan with my Heart

Steve D, patient since 2020
As a kid growing up in the suburbs of New York, Steve always had a goal to move as far away from home as possible. After finishing law school at Columbia, he finally made the move to Los Angeles — and fifty years later, he's still there.
“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.
Steve's law degree proved invaluable as an entrepreneur. He helped build one of the first mobile marketing agencies, delivering cutting-edge solutions that were among the first of their kind. Eventually, success led to an acquisition by one of the largest marketing agency conglomerates in the world. The experience taught him about the promise of innovation and opportunities that come from staying on top of the latest technologies — a philosophy he's embraced for his healthcare as well.
For as long as he can remember, Steve has been proactive about his health, especially his heart. He had a long-time cardiologist in LA, but the experience wasn't ideal. When that doctor retired without notification, a close friend and business partner — also a doctor — recommended Dr. Kedan. That recommendation truly changed his life.
From his first visit, it was clear that Dr. Kedan is everything a patient could hope for. 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. Dr. Kedan responds quickly, with compassion and genuine concern. He makes you feel like you're his only patient.
“Dr. Kedan makes you feel like you're his only patient, and his genuine care and accessibility are unmatched.”
— Steve D.
Dr. Kedan's office environment reflects his approach: clean, modern, and welcoming. It's comfortable and calming, and patients never have to wait long. His team is fantastic — professional and personable, and they clearly respect him.
Recently, after learning that Steve's brother had a stent placed, Dr. Kedan suggested a CT angiogram. He found a significant obstruction and guided Steve through each decision, explaining options clearly. The procedure went smoothly, and Steve is 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, embracing innovation without ever losing sight of what his patients need.
