Neurosurgeons - Cullman, AL

"Dr. Kast behavior in his office is outdated and his bedside manner is atrocious. This is a very bad combination for people of color who struggle to do obtain equity in the medical field. My mom has been a patient of his for over a year and still has no definitive diagnosis of her brain tumor. Instead of owning the fact that he is uninterested and unmotivated to treat people of color and his obvious distain for our presence but definitely overbill her insurance company, he decided to call me rude for simply being fed up with his lack of care and decided to leave. Because the door knob hit the bed when I opened it to leave, his ego felt the need to try to correct my silent and wordless exit by calling me rude and saying I had an attitude and asked me to leave. The days are gone where white doctors can dismiss black women as angry black women and dismiss them to deflect from their mediocrity. I rejected his label, he didn't like that I took the attention off his frailty and returned it to his in luck of care of my mother. I have contacted my attorney, the Alabama joint commission and have attempted to contact the office manager in his office but am currently being avoided because they think I will go away. That is a mistake. The longer his office takes to respond further proves my point. I do not want her insurance charged for this visit because literally he did nothing to earn one dime."
