Provided extremely poor treatment for my father's cancer..., Jan 25, 2012 Dr. D. treated my dad's throat cancer (a term he never used with any of us). Dad responded very well to chemo and would have to remain on chemo the rest of his life. (His tumor in his neck had burst and he had a nasty wound that he had to deal with, but even it was doing well as he was switched to a milder chemo routine to keep the cancer from growing. And he was doing really well with that treatment.) Dad developed a knee infection and Dr. D stopped all treatment until knee doc released him. Dr. D continued to ignore my phone calls that dad's neck wound was really looking bad, saying he could do nothing for him at this time. Finally, knee doc suggested knee treatment be put on hold so cancer could be treated. So Dad went to see Dr. D and he still said there wasn't anything he could do right now, and he refused to look at his neck when asked to (of course, dad kept it bandaged). We brought dad to Louisville for treatment, but it was too late by then. The oncology doctors in Louisville were just mortified at his neck and the treatment he had received. They found it unimaginable that Dr. D. never looked at his neck (the actual cancer) and ignored his cancer treatment during the course of treatment of the knee infection (9 weeks approximately). Of course, we are heartbroken. I only tell my story in the hopes of helping someone else. In the end, dad regretted mine and my sister's pleas to get a second opinion in Louisville from the beginning. That one step could have changed everything. I hope this review helps someone make a better choice in choosing their oncologist. |

Dr Moorthy review who is awesome and I would recommend her to anyone..., Dec 17, 2011 She is an awesome surgeon. She takes the time to sit down with you and explain everything that is going on. She also has a wonderful power point. I am glad my primary doctor recommended her. She and her staff are very knowledgeable. I would recommend and have to anyone. |

Rip off billing codes... HORRIBLE customer service and always a huge hassle to deal with- Beware..., Nov 22, 2011 Deer family practice NEVER seems to operate smoothly... There is always an issue with Dr. Parkers CODING for insurance.... It seems that either the doctor or office staff intentionally uses codes they KNOW will not be paid by your insurance. This has happened more than once... I always feel as though I should keep my mouth shut to avoid tripping another code input into the computer system. These codes are knowingly input by the salivating doctor Parker... When you do finally get the bill, and are horrified about paying a few hundred dollars for a couple of prescriptions written in 6 min., good luck taking care of it with this office... Codes, hold times, transfers etc... Although most health offices are nightmares these days, this one is really bad... find another doctor... |

I came out ugly, uneven, and embarassed! Please do not go to Kavali!..., Sep 1, 2011 I was sucked in by the radio ads and, before you knew it, was in surgery for a breast reduction. Afterwards, I had some serious concerns about "dog ears" and such. (Triangle flaps of skin that form during reductions.) The second procedure was IN HER OFFICE! Heaven forbid she pay for the hospital facility! I was WIDE AWAKE AND WATCHING HER CUT INTO MY BREASTS! She shot some numbing agent into my chest and went to work. Sometimes I would feel the cut (like when you get novicaine for a tooth but you still feel it) and I would scream. She would just add more numbing agent and keep going. The whole time gossiping with her assistant about the poor work ethic of the office manager. A few years later, I am DISGUSTED by my own body. My breasts are two completely different sizes. One is 1.5 cups bigger than the other! My nipples are distorted and puckered. The scars are terrible. I can't wear low cut shirts or most bathing suits. Buying and wearing bras is painful and embarassing. Getting cold is TORTURE because, when hard, MY NIPPLES POINT IN TWO DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS!!!! Please, do not go to Dr. Kavali! Do more research! There are a lot of unhappy clients all over the internet! See a real professional. She is only interested in money! Hence, the radio commercials. DON'T END UP A FRANKENSTEIN, LIKE ME! |

Great pediatrician, does not talk down to adults or kids...., Aug 19, 2011 As with all things Kaiser, you need to keep trying til you find a doctor that is a good fit for your family. I liked this doctor for my daughter, and kept her til my daughter turned 18. She doesn't dumb things down, and doesn't talk down to you. |
