Dr. Todd Eberhard

More interested in billing for office visits than needs of patient..., Feb 3, 2012

If you are looking for someone who lectures you on eating and exercise (even if you are fit and at target weight), if you are looking for a doctor who requires an office visit for any kind of information, this is your doctor. My own experience is that he tries to require more office visits than are necessary. I look for a doctor that is willing to establish a patient/doctor relationship with me and understand who I am and what my needs are. Sometimes that means just phoning in a prescription or giving advice over the phone.

Dr. Noel DeLos Santos

Most unorganized Doctor ever with a staff that is even worse!..., Dec 9, 2011

This doctor loves consultations at 500 a visit and never even remembers why he had you come in or your name. The only thing that tops that is no return phone calls, no matter how many times they will check and "call you right back". They schedule appointments and don't tell you or better yet send you to a down town office only to find out that it's at an office 30 minutes in the other direction. FIND ANOTHER DOCTOR … maybe even one who cares about your family and your time.

Dr. David Menchell

A difficult experience for any patient in need of lear communication..., Oct 22, 2011

This guy is a mess. He is dirty and his clothes are a mess. He had dirt under his fingernails He saw me and did not wash before he touched me. I tried to talk to him but he did not make any sense when he tried to explain anything to me. The office was full of dust and smelled like stale cigarette smoke. The office staff was nice and apologized for his behavior. He was also late.

Dr. Adam Kramer

Beware - Malpractice ..., Sep 23, 2011

I went under the knife in May 2011 to have a large fibro lipoma removed from my upper spine. Dr. Kramer performed the surgery, and it seemed all was well. It was evident within a couple weeks that there was still a fairly good sized bulge remaining. After waiting for the wound and stitches to heal, and for the swelling to go down, I went back in to see Dr. Kramer about the tumor still present. To my astonishment, all Kramer had to say was that he probably should have had me laying on my stomach for the operation rather than on my side, and therefore he only removed part of the tumor. I was informed my only option was to go back under the knife for a second operation, and would now have to pay double the amount originally paid, all due to the malpractice of the doctor. Even though I returned within less than 90 days, Kramer and staff were unwilling to assist me with out-of-pocket expenses, even after they admitted fault. When I asked why I should have to pay twice to have something done that should have been taken care of with one surgery, Kramer immediately got an attitude with me and had the gall to state that I was asking him to commit insurance fraud. All I was asking was that my additional out of pocket fees for their work to be billed to their office rather than to me, which seems perfectly fair, considering they didn't do what I paid them to do. Now I'm facing the fact that I have to once again take time off from work, pay TWICE (~$2K) for the same procedure, and basically deal with all the unpleasantness of going to the hospital and dealing with another surgery and recovery. I am astonished at the complete unwillingness of Advanced Surgical Associates - notably Dr. Kramer - to take accountability and make things right. At this time, I'm seeking assistance from an attorney to lodge a malpractice suit. Needless to say, I am one EXTREMELY dissatisfied customer, and I sincerely hope you heed my words and take your business and health to a more experie

Dr. Kimberly Higgins

First Do No Harm? Dr. Higgins is a Predator in Garden City, KS..., Sep 11, 2011

Not sure why the computer says some weird town's name under location--I'm in Garden City, KS and I quit going to Dr. Kim because she gave me the creeps. And it turns out she completely crossed the ethical line with a patient of hers who was a close friend of mine until Dr. Kim convinced my friend to divorce her husband and move in with her as a lover and cut all ties to her former life. ILLEGAL! Before the affair became public, Dr. Kim tried to prescribe antidepressants to a mutual friend of ours, a close acquaintance of the lover, who was saddened by the strange personality changes she could sense happening as our friend became distant from her family and friends. MISUSE OF AUTHORITY! An OB/Gyn has a responsibility to assist families, not tear them apart. A Doctor who would use medication to cover her own tracks is a criminal.
