I have been seeing Dr. Bukhalo for many years for pain management. I have had multiple knee…read morereplacements and revisions, and have had better pain management once I began working with Dr. Bukhalo. Because of my limping, I tore my Achilles tendon. I went to a number of podiatrists for help. They all wanted to perform surgery which entailed a cadaver transfer and minimum of 6 weeks non-weightbearing. As an RN, that was an unreasonable expectation for me. Dr. Bukhalo suggested a PRP injection at the insertion point of the tendon. Admittedly, it was a temporarily painful procedure. However, it actually healed the problem and now I have Zero pain in my Achilles tendon! I would highly recommend Dr. Bukhalo and Jessica King, PA, to anyone needing pain management. It is never a problem getting an appointment, and the office staff always reaches out if an earlier appointment becomes available.

Dr. Bukhalo ranks up there as one of the worst doctors I've ever been to…read more Right out of the gate, the receptionist was more interested in snapping at me about the pronunciation of the doctor's last name than actually helping get me checked in. Once I was with the doctor, the experience wasn't much better. A few pokes at me with a wooden stick for nerve function, I guess... At one point, I crossed one leg over the other and winced in pain, saying, "this motion frequently causes me pain". The doctor shrugged and dismissively said, "some people just have pain". I was eventually told to take a mega-dose of ibuprofen daily (800mg x 3 !!!). When I commented that my stomach would not handle that, I was told to take it with omeprazole. When I then commented that I didn't want to be on that long-term due to its variety of risks (fractures), I was told, "you worry too much". I'm inclined to think that it's my (our?) job (responsibility?) to worry a bit, given that this doctor clearly does not. Needless to say, I never returned.

I never actually saw the doctor of the office. The front desk and reception staff getting the phones - Oh my goodness! It's really bad. They are dazed, lost and confused. From the moment I first went to the office and they charged me the incorrect copay to weird things with scheduling to going back & forth with clients a million times while others are waiting to just generally being unfriendly - not a good first impression. Short side is - Go somewhere else. Despite having some great nurses, front staff is unprofessional and a hot mess and is not able to handle sensitive situations.

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME! I recently changed insurance and they required doctor preauthorization to…read morerefill my birth control. I called the office and they informed me that since they moved locations, they no longer had access to my medical records so they could only do something once those were sent. I emailed them a copy of my records from MyChart that day. I had to call the office 6 TIMES to ask for updates and every time, the woman said she would pass along my information. After 2 weeks of nothing getting done, I decided to go to the new office location where I had to explain AGAIN what was needed to have the office manager claim "this was the first he was hearing this". I asked if the doctor could submit the preauthorization that day (since I am running out of medication) and he said, "well the doctor is very busy". The preauthorization STILL HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED. Good thing it's birth control and not any life-saving medicine. Do yourself a favor and find a different doctor.

DO NOT RECCOMEND! I had a introductory visit with Claudine Kasinak 3/7/24 to talk about my…read morefertility options as I was having a hard time getting pregnant. Dr. Kasinak asked me a total of 3-4 questions (the generic How old when you had your first period? Are your periods regular? How long have you been trying), and that was the extent of the visit. She simply looked at me and told me I looked healthy so everything would be fine, that I should keep trying, and that I was only stressing myself out. I tried to ask if we could run tests or talk about fertility options, and she dismissed me, saying there was no point because I was only stressing myself out. She saw that I got upset with the answer and said if I still wasn't pregnant by August, to come back to discuss the options at that point. I made an appointment with a different OB a week later, who ACTUALLY LISTENED to my concerns, and she ran tests and saw I did have a fertility issue and had to go through IVF. Not to mention, I was charged $343 for Dr. Kasinak asking me three questions and dismissing me after less than 10 minutes. While my insurance paid for part of this, I still had to pay $186 out of pocket, and for what? If I had listened to her, I still would not be pregnant. It was a terrible experience and OB, in my opinion. I advise you to stay away.

Despite seeing multiple doctors and trying medications and therapy, I found no relief, and surgery was considered too risky. I am deeply grateful to have begun my journey with Dr. Joshi, who took the time to understand my condition and explore treatment options. Dr. Joshi is kind, caring, polite, compassionate, and genuinely committed to helping his patients. Although my treatment was experimental, he encouraged me not to lose hope, assuring me that additional procedures could be considered if necessary.

This has been a very confusing and disappointing experience with Dr. McKanna's office…read more I went to him with severe plantar fasciitis and inflammation in my heel that made it almost impossible to walk. After several discouraging visits with other doctors, I had nearly given up on finding real help. My daughter encouraged me to try again, and we found Dr. McKanna. At first, I was genuinely impressed. He seemed caring, knowledgeable, and truly interested in solving the problem rather than just treating symptoms. The steroid injection he gave was painful but effective, and I appreciated that he connected possible back issues to my foot pain and ordered an MRI. For the first time, I felt hopeful that I had found a doctor who cared. Unfortunately, that hope quickly faded. I scheduled a Saturday appointment to go over my MRI results, confirmed the time, and drove over an hour to his office--only to find it closed. When I called, the staff told me Dr. McKanna was at his other office that day. As a new patient, I had never been told he had more than one location. I offered to drive to the other office, but was told he was busy and leaving early. They said he would call me at 1:00 p.m. He called at 1:30, but I missed the call due to poor signal. I immediately called back and left a message asking for a return call. I never heard back. I followed up again on Monday, calling multiple times to ask for my MRI results--still no response. At this point, I'm left with an unread MRI disc and no guidance from the doctor or his staff. It's very frustrating to go from feeling hopeful to feeling completely ignored. I want to believe this isn't a reflection of Dr. McKanna himself--he seemed like a good, caring doctor--but the communication and follow-up from his office have been deeply disappointing. If you go to Dr. McKanna, make sure to confirm which office your appointment is at and be prepared for possible issues with communication. I sincerely hope he sees this review and takes steps to improve how patients are treated and followed up with.

Starting with the office, the building has stairs AND a ramp. Tada. The whole interior of what I saw was modern and clean. The staff prior to the doctor were very pleasant and felt like I was talking to a daughter. When Dr. Schlund came in, being the honest guy (and retired Massage Therapist) we chatted very briefly about lousy reviews. I did most of the talking. She was extremely pleasant to talk with. She has a great sense of humour. Being in the field for almost 40 years (I don't know how that can be after all as Jack Benny said...he was 39), she reminds me of the good ole days of non political correctness BUT as a professional, I know she can read a client and adjust. As I did with my clients when I worked, we talked about extensively about my medical history, and she hit the nail on the head of one of the most obvious cause for my condition. I brought up about removing the nail and she concurred it is an option after giving it a couple of months of treatment (nothing expensive). I have given thought to removing all my nails. What do we need them for anyway now? We don't climb trees or hold our food with our feet. That may be a bit extreme. We laughed, and joked. As when I was a therapist I was told thousands of times I was the best not only from Americans, but from world travelers. So, I am highly qualified to say, this IS a doctor you want if you live in the area of Itasca. Ignore the naysayers there are so many of them. Just imagine, if they can complain about a foot situation, what will they scream about after open heart surgery?

If you want to pop some pills, take the easy road, and feel slightly better short term while risking your long term health, go to your current doctor.

I spent a few hundred bucks with consultations, supplements, and a stool test that didn't lead anywhere or improve my condition. She was unsuccessful in identifying the root cause nor even knew about my condition. Dr. Koz was so busy I never even had the opportunity for a one on one to ask questions, etc. Overall it wasn't a good experience and I had to move on.
