I think I really like Dr.Sragets. She's very professional, her office is clean and her staff are…read morepretty friendly. And she saved me $1,300 in MRI costs. After finding problems with my body, she sent me to Ultrasound. Ultrasound confirmed the problems too but wanted to send me to MRI just to be sure. I booked my MRI and was told that even with insurance, it would cost me $1,300. Had no choice. Anyways, Dr. Sragets personally called me (that never happens with my Neurologist) the next day and said that I don't necessarily need to do the MRI. She said I'm open to have the MRI if I want, but with my sucky insurance coverage, it's not necessary because I MUST have surgery anyways. I have an appointment with Dr. Sragets next Friday so stay tuned... ...........okay so fast forward to 2016...here's my updated review on Dr. Sragets! 5 stars service! I am so truly thankful to Dr. Sragets, she delivered my baby safely with minimum tear and comfort and now my baby's a healthy one year old. Compared to Dr. Stodgel who didn't make me feel confident in his care, Dr. Sragets was always informative and professional.

Michelle is a great primary care provider -- strongly recommend…read more Pretty much the definition of a good primary care provider -- unless you have a particular ongoing major health issue which requires primary care from someone deeply involved in a particular specialty, the most important dimension is "are you comfortable with this provider" and "can you communicate well". Michelle is great -- very responsive and easy to schedule through One Medical, and my favorite thing -- if he doesn't know something 100%, she's quite willing to say so and then find the answer. (A lot of doctors will never do that.)

I have been seeing Dr. Kogelnik for the past two years. I disagree with the Yelper who said he…read moreisn't interested in testing and treating patients. He is a top researcher specializing in Infectious Disease and Immunology. Though he is researching a few specific treatments at a time, he has always been very receptive if I want to try a different approach or course of therapy. He and his staff are very compassionate and caring. He is also understanding of patient's limitations. I am an uninsured patient. I had been tested for every possible pathogen within the past few years (while insured). Dr. K has been great about not ordering unnecessary tests that would be difficult for me to afford. He also worked with a drug manufacturer's patient assistance program so I could be treated with a medicine I wouldn't otherwise be able to afford. I travel from out of town to see Dr. K. The staff are always very accommodating. On one visit I arrived two hours before my scheduled appointment time. I was completely wiped out by the travel. The nurse set me up in a quite room with a recliner, pillow and blanket to rest, then arranged for the doctor to see me earlier then my scheduled time. Being a research center as well as a clinical practice, it is a busy place. The practice has become much more efficient and organized over the past year. Dr. K encourages patients to email him with questions and concerns between visits, and he and the nurses are wonderful about getting back to you in a timely manner. Seeing a top researcher is very different than seeing your primary care physician. They are treating very seriously ill patients who often times have been sick for many years. Of the handful of specialists in this field, many have multiple year waiting lists. Some are known to hand pick the patients they want to treat. Others will only look for what ever pathogen they specialize in or prescribe the drugs they are studying. Dr. Kogelnik doesn't operate that way. His fees are in line with what other top researchers in this field charge and he is truly committed to helping his patients on their journey to optimal health.

This is the most insulting doctor I have ever met. She refuses to do any testing. I don't have a…read morediagnosis to explain my symptoms. If I email her, I get really insulting remarks back as if I'm a child. I get new symptoms; she doesn't care. Same short and insulting response. What kind of patient care is this? She just says wait until your next appointment over and over. I don't have another appointment with her. Just one with her nurse 6 months after the 1st one. There are no openings for earlier appointments. And there is nothing with her. My first appointment with her was long with her intern or fellow and then very short with her. She probably spent all of 15 minutes with me, and that's all she will spend in a year, it seems probably with any patient. At scheduling, I was told second appointments are almost always with her nurse.

Wow, what a horrible jackass of a Doctor, every patient's nightmare. This fraud is supposedly an…read moreosteopathic physician specializing in neurology and pain management. He told me to come in for an appointment and kept me waiting in his waiting room for over two hours. Once I was finally graced with his holy presence, he told me that he would not treat me until I got a letter from my previous doctor telling him that I would no longer see my previous doctor. He basically worked on the assumption that I was a doctor-shopping drug addict despite having no evidence of this. He told me he would fax the other doctor a letter to this effect (he never did). I waited a few days and contacted "Dr" Anderson to ask what the status was. He EMAILED me and told me that he would get to it the next day. I waited a few days and still nothing. I tried repeatedly to get a hold of his office via phone and email for three days. His office NEVER answers his phone. Finally I got a call back after four business days and was told that "Dr" Anderson "declined to accept me as a patient". This of course after he already agreed to take me on as a patient, brought me in for an appointment, wasted several hours of my time, billed my insurance $325, and so on. This smug asshole is every chronic pain patient's worst nightmare. He takes your money, strings you along forever, ignores you for days on end, and then tells you to go away. Avoid him at all costs! *** I would be very interested in knowing how three people, who've never posted a yelp review, all gave "Dr" Anderson 5 stars ON THE SAME DAY. That's a hell of a coincidence don't you think? Or is "Doctor " Anderson creating fictitious user accounts and giving himself glowing reviews? Oh and "Del T." looks exactly like "Dr" Anderson's office manager. That's pretty sleazy. *** *** Update: I was calling his office 3 times a day because he was NOT ANSWERING HIS PHONE. He took my money and told me he'd get back to me and then never did. Also it is a complete lie to say that Dr. Jackass never saw my medical records. I brought a stack of records including all records from every doctor that had ever treated me. No excuses, no more lies, please! ***

Her examinations are always thorough, and I never feel rushed to get out the door.

Three years ago this July, I used Dr. Kahn to perform a prostate biopsy to obtain samples of cancer…read moreto send to Germany for genetic sequencing. The German lab sent very precise protocols for how the samples were to be collected, frozen, stored and shipped. Dr. Kahn and his team failed to meet those protocols, resulting in compromised samples which had to be collected a second time. Apparently he or his office failed to read the protocol specifying liquid nitrogen storage; they used dry ice instead. What the heck, right? Cold is cold. What do those German geneticists know, anyway? It seems they didn't have any liquid nitrogen on hand. But Smitten Ice Cream, down the street, had plenty of it. They use it to make ice cream. Perhaps the good doctor might have gone down and borrowed a liter or two to comply with protocol? In all events, during the second biopsy, while I was in a very compromising position which I will not describe, Dr. Kahn asked, in a tone of evident, palpable scorn, "What do you want sequencing for? Immunotherapy?" Well, yes, actually. The good doctor then offered me his opinion of this silly caprice of sham medicine, all the while snipping prostate samples through a tube inserted in my . . . Well, you get the idea. He hadn't learned about it in medical school in the '70s, so it had to be a load of, um, hooey, I guess. When I recovered from the indignity of the biopsy, I complained to the hospital's medical director about Dr. Kahn's attitude. His failure to comply with protocol cost me three weeks in a situation where time was important. Three years later, I am alive and healthy, despite an original, rather grim, diagnosis. Cancer immunotherapy is a recognized medical discipline that has saved many lives and is becoming part of the new standard of care. (See, Science Magazine, 23 March, 2018, Special Edition, Cancer Immunotherapy", https://tinyurl.com/y75bnxun (NYTimes)) And Dr. Kahn is still practicing medicine. Only one of these three things surprises me. If you seek a physician who keeps current on developments in modern medicine, I suggest you find one elsewhere. If all you need is a tube in an orifice, I suggest you find someone with compassion.

I have been a registered nurse for 45 years so I have a great deal of experience with physicians,…read moreboth as a patient and as a rofessional colleague ( I prefer NOT being a patient ). My referral to Dr. Kahn came after a miserable night spent at the CPMC ER, in a good deal of pain, and an overnight stay as an inpatient, thanks to a bout with kidney stones. The CT scan revealed about 8 in each kidney. I have subsequently been followed by Dr. Kahn for about 8 years. I have had two lithotripsies to try to deal with the stones, have had numerous office visits and have had several ER visits as well. I have always found Dr. Kahn and his office staff to be kind, professional and empathic. In an emergency, they will fit you into the schedule. As an RN who has worked in the operating room, I know that, often, procedures and an emergency situation don't go like clockwork and can wreak havoc with an office shedule and waiting patients. If I have to wait for my appointment, I undrstand if things can get backed up. Stones and kidneys are serious business and I'm not talking about income for the physician. Anything that can cause permanent kidney damage, resulting dialysis or the ultimate need for a kidney transplant is not taken lightly. At least, for me, and I am the most critical person I know, about quality of medical care, I have nothing but the highest praise for Dr. Kahn - and, Dr. Sharlip, who followed me when Dr. Kahn was on vacation.
