Most recent review: 3 days ago New
The reviews listed below were collected independently of The CORE Institute (HOPCo) through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.

Had sutures taken out by her. She seemed not to care about how I felt until I told her I was going to faint, at which point she gave me a cup of water and left the room. It was weird. It felt like she had no sympathy for me, or the pain I was in before during and after, and made me feel stupid for my lack of range of motion 7 days after surgery. She even decided to tell me 'its *super* uncommon for someone to get dizzy' as if that means anything to me. Im not even a person who gets grossed out, woozy or queasy at medical topics or imagery, ever. Not even once have I gotten close to fainting- it was the lack of prep beforehand that left me feeling anxious and scared. That would make anyone nervous. Don't know why she treated it like, I the patient, should be used to getting stitches taken out. Dr McKernan is so incredibly nice, so I really was expecting more from Kristen. Didn't feel in good hands at all.
