Suggestions & Reviews for Koen DEGEEST MD
Lampreht (Patient) 11-27-2014
Dr. DeGeest is an excellent GYN oncologist.
He is now at OHSU in Portland Oregon 11/2014
He takes his time with you and listens to you and your concerns.
Anytime I have called or been seen by him he has made me feel as if I am a top priority. No question has ever been shrugged off by him he is just the most caring and attentive Dr I have ever had.
If you are in need of a top notch gynecologist oncologist who is at the top of the field I would recommend him highly.
Mrs. Lampreht

Dr. Degeest treated me for my ovarian cancer at Rush in Chicago. The man saved my life. He is always kind, caring and willing to listen. I now drive 3 hours to see him in Iowa because if my OVCA returns, I would want him to treat me.

Dr. DeGeest is an amazing Oncologist! I am very grateful that he was my physician at Rush Hospital in Chicago. I was diagnosed with endoderal sinus tumor July 7, 1997. My husband and I have 3 beautiful children and we owe that to Dr. DeGeest. I would highly recommend Dr. K. DeGeest. He is very pleasant, professional, caring, understanding and always there for you know matter what doctor. He is remarkable!

I am a 10 year stage 3 ovarian cancer survivor who was treated by Dr. DeGeest when he was at Rush University in Chicago. I am also a registered nurse at that institution and accustomed to working with many physicians. I would say, without hesitation, that Dr. DeGeest, stands amongst the best of physicians in the country. His physical assessment skills, surgical skills, intelligence, kindness and empathy are second to none. Throughout my surgical experience, chemotherapy and recovery this man was by my side every step of the way - generous to a fault with his time, interest and caring. He is an extremely caring and humble man who is devoted to the women he cares for and relentless as a champion of the women he has dedicated his life to save. You will find no one better to help you fight this disease.

Dr. DeGeest is an amazing doctor. He is very skilled and intelligent and a very nice man. He was very kind to me and my family during my hospital stay and subsequent treatments. I would definitely recommend him if you have any type of gynecological cancer.

Dr. DeGeest is treating my mother for her Stage IV cancer. I would say that he is the most experience and intelligent member of the GynOnc staff at University of Iowa Hospitals. If we had to have the same doctor everytime we went to Iowa City, we would want him. However, you should know that he has a horrible bedside manner. He is condescending, borderline rude, and says things that will make your jaw drop. (We have also heard stories from other patients as well... we aren't alone in this type of encounter with him). We have also noticed that he doesn't like it when you ask too many questions. He's an amazing oncologist, but be prepared for his attitude.

Dr. DeGeest is the Director of the Holden Cancer Center in Iowa City , IA. He is also a professor the the University of Iowa, Gynecology/Oncology Department.
He is extremely skilled and comes highly recommended among his peers. He explains each and every detail of your course of treatment so you fully understand what is ahead of you. He performed my total hysterectomy and oopherectomy for Stage 1B, Grade 2 Endometrial cancer. I wouldn't have wanted anyone else, in my mind he is the best.
