I visited Dr. Anu Kulkarni today for a 3-month follow-up and was greatly disappointed by her…read morebehavior, attitude, and actions. Dr. Kulkarni first responded very harshly when I asked about the possibilities of increasing my medication dosage, a common SSRI that can be increased beyond the dosage I currently take. Dr. Kulkarni immediately stated that she would not do that for me, that my dosage is already extremely high (an OPINION of her own), and that I should see a psychiatrist immediately. When I mentioned that I do see a therapist, she was quick to correct me that it is not the same thing as a psychiatrist (which I was entirely aware of). She asked me about my job search, how she expected me to be a short-term patient, and made me feel very isolated and ill-informed at my own doctor's appointment. Mental health in the South Asian community -- of which Dr. Kulkarni and I are both a part of -- is already extremely stigmatized. Taking medication is looked at as a sign of weakness, when it has actually been extremely effective in treating my depression, anxiety, and OCD. Rather than being supportive and willing to hear my curiosities, Dr. Kulkarni was short, dry, and immediately disrespectful. It is this attitude that keeps children from opening up to their parents, and in turn leaves patients feeling hopeless about their own clinical journey. I expect doctor's office to be a safe and progressive space to discuss any kind of illness, whether physical or emotional. It is clear to me that Premier Physician Network, specifically Hyatt Family Care in Tipp City, Ohio, does not stand by this message.

From the owner: About The Practice Orthopaedic Institute of Dayton is a…read moreone-stop-shop for medical imaging, durable medical equipment, physical therapy, treatment of musculoskeletal injuries, and orthopedic surgery, with three main convenient locations in Dayton, Springboro, and Tipp City, Ohio, and two satellite locations. With 50-plus years as an established medical practice, Orthopaedic Institute of Dayton is the oldest and most respected orthopedic practice in the region. The practice began in 1971 as Dayton Orthopaedic Associates in a downtown location with only two doctors, Dr. Pietro Seni and Dr. Daniel Camacho. In the early years, their doctors were general orthopaedists. However, Dr. Camacho wanted to limit his practice to hand surgery. It was then decided that all physicians would have a specific specialty - a unique concept in the 1970s and 1980s. In 1980 the practice's name was changed to Orthopaedic and Hand Surgeons and was located on Woodman Drive in Dayton. Dr. Frank Mannarino (sports medicine) joined the practice in 1981, followed by Dr. Richard Forster (total joint replacement) and Dr. Paul Nitz (sports medicine) in 1991. Gradually, the practice kept growing and solidifying the subspecialty orthopedic philosophy. Dr. Eugene Kim (hand) joined the group in 1998, followed by Dr. Kevin Paley (sports medicine), who moved his practice to the Orthopaedic Institute in the early 2000s. Dr. Jeffrey Hoskins came to the practice in 2005 following his spine fellowship. Dr...
