Doctor looked at me only a couple of times, did not explain the plan to me, and did not have good bedside manor whatsoever. Jen the MA made me feel way more at ease than the doctor did

The only issue that was not fully handled was managing the pain while seeking lab work and X-Rays. I had to see another doctor to get some pain relief and a CT scan.

I have been seeing Dr. K for many years now. I travel from Weber County to Salt Lake County in order to see him. I wouldn't travel that far if I didn't think he was good doctor. He has always been very thoughtful to patient concerns.

"Dr. K" made me fee uncomfortable so I will be seeing a different provider for my problems. I was congested and could barely hear, I had to tell him multiple times to speak up and slower and even move my chair closer. Luckily my mom was there to help. He brought up an insensitive topic and just did not give me the solutions or help I was looking for. Thanks.

This was the worst doctor's appointment I've ever had by far. Dr. K diagnosed me with fatty liver and arthritis, then continued to repeat that I was very young and I need to lose weight. He listed a bunch of things I can "no longer eat" but did not even refer me to a nutritionist or a physical copy of the things I can't eat. I'm not a medical professional and felt lost. I did not eat for two days straight because I felt traumatized by what he said. Worst experience ever

I didn't feel like he really took time to ask more in depth questions. Made suggestions for treating my problem without understanding how that would impact other areas of my life (recommended that I stop birth control even though I use it to treat a hormone imbalance).
