I'm refraining from writing any bad reviews on any doctors as it may jeopardize my job, but I…read morewanted to put a good review out there! Out of all the surgeons I have dealt with at Christian Northeast (and there are a lot of great ones), Dr. Jensen is by far my favorite. He is the head of surgery at Christian and is fantastic. Very old school with a true passionate commitment for his job and his patients, and an excellently skilled general surgeon. He is a very sweet man with a great sense of humor. He is very friendly to the nurses and even when I call him and wake him up in the middle of the night, he is nice, patient, and very thorough with his orders to make sure the patient gets the utmost best care. If I needed surgery, I'd go to him. If my sweet little grandmother needed surgery, I'd send her to him. Great guy.

Dr. Mark Lambrechts, MD is truly an outstanding Orthopedic Spine Surgeon. During my first visit I…read morefound him to be very professional, warm, caring, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and thorough in his responses to my concerns. I read other reviews posted online regarding Dr. Lambrechts prior to selecting him for consultation/opinion. He overwhelmingly received 5 Star Ratings in other reviews. I found those reviews to be consistent with my interaction with him during my visit. Dr. Lambrechts discussed future procedures and tests with me; and provided an overall explanation of the health of my spine. Moreover, I found him to be an excellent listener/doer and cared about his patients. Dr. Lambrechts is a role model to others in the medical field. I was at my wits end regarding serious concerns/issues still lingering for nearly two years ago. He provided me with hope and a positive outlook on my physical and mental health, and a sense of calm. He is truly a jewel. I would recommend him to others seeking not just an Orthopedic Spine Surgeon but one you would respect for going above and beyond in administering care. Kudos, Dr. Lambrechts, MD!!! Kimberly B.

Dr Farhan Katchi, a…read morecardiologist with Wash U-St Louis, saw that I had stopped seeing a cardiologist in another health system. He threw his pen on the counter, whirled around and asked why I stopped seeing the other doctor. I started telling him about some things that had happened that really upset me. He kept interrupting me to defend the other doctor, and was argumentative to the point I couldn't even tell him what happened. He invalidated my feelings, invalidated me as a patient and invalidated me as a person. During the rest of the appt he made unnecessary rude remarks. That was one of the worst Dr appts I've ever had. I will never return. I don't recommend anyone see him. He's the sort of Dr you should avoid

I found a recommendation for a doctor two minutes from my house (YAY!) and made an initial establishing-care appointment. He spent about an hour going over my entire health history with me. Dr: What specifically brings you in today? Me: I'd like to get my vitamin D levels tested, maybe my thyroid, and find out my blood type for possible kidney donation. Dr: While kidney donation is a noble impulse, I'd like to know what your reasoning is for considering this. Me: My friend's special needs daughter is in kidney failure. Her father can't donate because of his cholesterol and we don't know if mom will be a match. Dr: I'd like you to really consider your motivation in doing this. Are you trying to fill a hole in your own life by latching into someone else's child? People can actually live for decades and have quite a good life on dialysis. Me: (stares at him) Dr: I'm not saying you shouldn't do it, I'm saying it is a very big decision, and you need to make sure you're doing it for the right reasons. Now. What is your understanding of the life-expectancy of kidney donors? Me: I'm not familiar. Dr: It's a reduction of 9 years. 9 years off your life. A decade is a large part of your life to give up, so you need to really consider that. Moving on. Do you want to have children? Me: My last long-term relationship was 7 years ago, so I've pretty much made my peace with the fact that that's not in the cards for me. Dr: I have 4 patients about your age who have gone alternative routes. Me: that's nice but I'm on a teacher's salary. Dr: One of my patients is only a cafeteria worker! She managed to have a child in her salary! Me: (Is he allowed to tell me this? And is this a pissing contest??) Dr: I'm just saying, don't make a vast life decision like this without fully considering all your options. Me: okay well to tell you the truth, I think I'd be a terrible mother. Dr: oh. Well. Okay. I don't usually find that level of self-awareness. Moving on. I see you have a tattoo. Do you plan on getting more? Me: Maybe? Dr: All right, we'll test you for hepatitis C, as well. All right, let's look at your medications. You are on anti-depressants. I'd like you to start doing some things that can add value and make your life better. Me: I do lots of valuable things that have made my life better. I volunteer with Mission: St. Louis. I started a Drumline. Dr: Those just sound like things that other people think you should be doing. It's time to get selfish. I want you to start doing things that YOU want to do. It went on and on like this. It ended thusly: Dr: From now on, you don't go to hospitals. Hospitals are for extremely sick people. Urgent Care is for after hours when none of us are here in the office. But if we're open and something happens, you call the office and we get you in that day, as long as you have a six-month checkup booked with us. And I'd like you to really consider your motivations for the kidney donation, to make sure you're doing it for the right reasons. It's been a really long time since I went to a new doctor's office. Are these kinds of conversations normal now?
