Dr. Gene Lavere Krishingner JR., MD

He's changed a lot. Sadly, he seems to always be in a hurry and never really listens anymore. I've heard the "in a hurry complaint" from other patients. He also has a new attitude that cannot be better summed up than by the trite phrase "my way or the highway." He even yelled at me during my appointment. He is also lacking empathy and compassion now. He doesn’t really seem capable of putting himself in a woman’s shoes to understand what she is going through or how her health issues affect her daily life. Also, I wish that he would be more understanding of religious and cultural views throughout the world especially since he works as an OB/GYN physician. These are truly disturbing and disheartening changes in him. I noticed that neither he nor his nurse asks you about what medications you take at your appointment. He prescribed me something that the pharmacy informed me interferes with another medication that I take. This could have been avoided had someone just simply asked. An office policy that you should be aware of is that if you have an urgent need then you MUST see the same doctor that you have already been seeing; you aren’t allowed to see his partner or a nurse practitioner.  I had a problem with my BCPs, but my doctor was out of the office so no one was able to see me.  In fact, they stated that there were no available appointments for an entire month. The office staff told me that if the BCPs he put me on were causing bleeding to go to the ER.  The ER is a place for broken bones, appendicitis, trauma, severe infections, etc., not for changing your meds due to complications.  No continuity of care exists at this office.   If you go to this practice, next time a physician asks you for the name of your OB/GYN, you might as well name the closest emergency room as your OB/GYN.  He used to be really good..used to be.  Very saddening.
