  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.
  Saved my life. He is a great doctor and very compassionate..., Nov 3, 2011

I had severe abdominal pain and came to the ER for help. Dr. Metheny listened to me. He treated my pain and ordered a cat scan. He found out that I had a ruptured diverticulitis. I got admitted and had emergency surgery.
  Not interested in patient's symptoms or history of presenting problem...., Oct 13, 2011

Dr. Crooks does not really listen to patients. Even on first visit, she discussed she and her kids more than my issue. Doesn't seem that interested in patients' opinion or explanation of symptoms. Even after testing, she failed to fully discuss issues with me.
  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!
  Dr. Snyder is a really good doctor, that really cares..., Aug 25, 2011

I take my two daughters to Dr. Snyder. She is very nice and shows that she really cares for the patients well being. I took my oldest daughter for a check up and gave her medicine for her acne, when I didn't even know it could be treated by a pediatrician.
