Patrick Kathleen MD

As other reviewers have mentioned, this is the easiest doctor's office to get an appointment- probably because Patrick is terribly rude, condescending, and nasty. I saw her years ago, when I was very young. She demanded if I was sexually active without any greeting or introduction, and when my answer was confused, because my only sexual experience at that point was a date rape in high school, she screamed at me to ""Just say yes or no!!!!!"" I was mortified and ashamed. I was only 19 years old. Later, she performed a cervical biopsy on me without my consent or knowledge- I bled from this procedure for days. I didn't even know what had happened until I saw another gynecologist, and she explained the biopsy process, and also stated that this was NOT part of a routine pelvic exam. After all that humiliation, fear, and shame, Patrick didn't even give me any medications relevant to my common medical problem, PCOS. There are better doctors out there, that actually care about their patients. more

This doctor has such a flip, condescending attitude that I will never go back to her, regardless of the ease of scheduling an appointment. A gynecologist - or any doctor - should never be sarcastic when addressing a patient's questions or concerns. I thought I simply caught her on a bad day on my first visit, but no, her attitude was the same on my follow-ups. The city has plenty of excellent doctors, so go to one who makes you feel comfortable - it won't be this woman. more

schedules appointments so there is little, if any wait - answers questions and shows concern more
