Dr. Kedar S. Deshpande, MD

This doctor is a pulmonologist in framingham mass. I will never go back to him, I visited the office once and was devesated due to the lack of concern and care i recieved here. The wait was 5 minutes. He comes out to get me seats me in the room tells me it is now time for his afternoon coffee and snack and that he will back in alittle bit. Mind you i am like every one else on a time schedule. He comes back with his coffee and snack and sits down. He asked me to explain what was going on (I at that point had been suffering from pneumonia for over two months in and out of the hospital) i started to explain when he cut me off. He asked my weight and height i told him. he then at that point told me the problem was that i was fat and that there was nothing he could do until i cared more about my own health, he told me to cut my calories to about 1000 a day and if i felt hungry it did not matter and to ignore it because i wont die from hunger, I told him the eating was not the problem but all the steriods and evrything else i had been prescribed contributed to my fast weight gain, He said just don’t eat all then you wont die from not eating, he went on to say that prioners of war dont eat for months and they dont die either will I, I then asked him about the recent developed growths in my lung he said dont worry you wont die of lung cancer tomorrow, I at that point was so floored i said nothing back and just wanted to leave. He did no testing and told me again that when i lost the 30 pounds that was making me fat and overweight i can shedule testing to resolve the nodules in my lung and to try to find out why i keep getting pnemonia. i at that point asked him one last question, He walked me out to the front desk and said let schedule the testing in four months that should give you enough time I said no i am all set .
I will never ever go to him again and will strongly recommend you dont either never met such a arrogant rude tasteless doctor in my whole life
