Primary Care Doctors - Waxahachie, TX

"Dr. Kare seems to create as many unnecessary appointments and therefore copays and charges to insurance as possible. Requiring SIX APPOINTMENTS IN 2 ½ MONTHS (attempting to get 2 more)….and all I needed was an appointment to get established as a patient. And another appointment for anxiety medication after a double tragedy. I voiced my concerns about the unusual number of appointments, explaining that I would need to look for another doctor because I can’t sustain this many appointments. He then sent me a CERTIFIED LETTER SAYING HE WOULD, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, NO LONGER TREAT ME. If you are looking for a doctor who works together with his patients and values the patient’s input, preferences, autonomy, and treats you as a competent adult with valid and logical concerns, and is reasonable, this is likely NOT the right doctor for you. I felt that his treatment was very one sided, it is his way or no way at all. Dr. Kare’s #1 priority is billing my insurance as many times as possible. And apparently, after reading other reviews, he is trigger happy on "firing" patients. ……................................ Examples: He had me schedule a new appointment and pay another copay in order to hear that my bloodwork from my prior appointment was fine. And required two additional appointments for me to say “yes, doing fine on my new medication”. Would not accept a phone call to let him know. Or my word, that I’d call if any issues arise. Also, when I wanted to taper off a medication, he withdrew his help when I explained I’d need to taper more slowly because my body is sensitive to this, causing horrible withdrawal symptoms & permanent damage. He immediately basically said, never mind and chose not to give me the prescription he was going to give me to help me sleep while tapering off. I felt treated like a drug seeker and dismissed."
