Patrick Kathleen E, MD

Dr. Kathleen Patrick is INCONSIDERATE and DISRESPECTFUL of patients’ time. First, she requires patients receiving birth control to come in every 9 months. There is no medical reason for this; it is a MONEY MAKING TACTIC. I arrive for my UNNECESSARY «birth control follow up» visit to find out that because her earlier appointments cancelled and she wanted to leave for the day, she cancelled my appointment. A receptionist had called my office and left messages asking to MOVE my appointment to an earlier time, but I am a busy professional and I was in meetings all day. Even if I had wanted to, I could not have moved up the visit because of my scheduled meetings. So I trek all the way to her office only to have the receptionist tell me WHEN I ARRIVE that the doctor cancelled. You didn’t think to leave that message on my voice mail, but let me waste my time and energy to travel to your office. I have endometriosis; if I do not take the birth control pills, I become disabilitatingly ill. They told me that they could not give me a sample pack because they don’t have any. I find it VERY hard to believe that a gyn’s office does not have any samples of birth control pills. The doctor is disrespectful of people’s time and forces unnecessary visits to make money while the receptionists are callous, not letting me know that my appointment was cancelled and refusing to give me pills when I desperately need them. I had continued to go to this gyn, even though the receptionists place people on hold for 20 minutesjjust to schedule an appointment, they are rude, you wait for 25 minutes and Dr. Patrick sees you for 5 minutes, but this is the last straw. RUN, RUN, RUN from this place!!!

I’ve been going to her since I was 13 and each year it just got worst. She wasn’t very calming and was down right rude. I was going to her at that age due to having problems with my menstrual cycle. She without even looking at me said, you have PCOS. She then escorted me out of the room. Maybe its me but I expect the doctor to go into a little bit more detail about a condition they randomly said you had.
Next appointment she never said anything again about the PCOS. She didn’t exam me because she said I didn’t need to be. Instead I got x-​rays near by which I didn’t mind at all. When I returned at age 16 she became somehow colder. She belittled me if I asked a question and forced me into an exam though it wasn’t really needed. She said I need to get it over with. When I told her I was in pain she told me to just get over it.
Lets just say I haven’t been back since.
