I have seen Dr. Kinsey several times. My first visit with him was when I was evaluating local gynecologists for a hysterectomy. Dr. Kinsey did not seem to have his heart in his work. His nurses were even less caring. Therefore I chose another doctor I had interviewed to do the surgery.
When the gynecologist who had been treating me moved, I did return to Dr. Kenzie because I would not have to go through that first appointment everyone has to go through with the also have that long wait because I would be considered a new patient. I've never understood why physicians do this. Across the board, regardless of the physician or surgeon, if we are seeing this person for the first time? We automatically are given one to two months extra of waiting time versus a person who has already been seeing these physicians. But I'm going off my subject.
I saw Dr. Kinsey because I was having issues from my hysterectomy and also because of reoccurring yeast infections.
As for the hysterectomy issues? He barely examined me. The second time I saw him because I thought maybe I needed someone to help explain my situation better, I do believe in giving people a second chance , so I brought my husband. The doctor did examine me a little bit then again about the hysterectomy problems. For both visits? The doctor stood back, crossed his arms, and told me there was nothing he could do. I definitely had issues from the hysterectomy , he admitted that. My husband and I asked him what should I do? Where can I go? Did he recommend another physician I could go to? He said he did not have any answers. My husband became impatient and even asked him if he had any answers at all to help us anything at all? Again we were told no.
As for the yeast infections? Which was one of the issues I was having after my hysterectomy by the way, each time he prescribed meds for me. Each time he prescribed the same prescriptions. After the first time I told him the medicine did not work. But he continued to prescribe it regardless. Eventually I went to my GO who prescribed different medicines and they did the trick for the yeast infection. 1st time.
Going back to my examinations? I was examined the first time for as regular check-up and also so (as I said before) I admitted to him I was consulting with several doctors in the area to choose a good surgeon for my total hysterectomy. The other times he examined me (when he diagnosed I had yeast infections and also that very short examination when my husband came with me) I noticed his nurse had the same crude attitude every time.
I'm always cordial with medical professionals & their staff. I know they have long days & their jobs can be stressful. I also think being friendly & understanding with these professionals helps create a good working relationship for my health presently & any upcoming issues.
The doctor had a no-nonsense all-nusiness disposition. I did hope he would become more friendly as he got to know me as a patient.
The staff members who were most disconcerting were his nurses. They too, were stoic to the point of uncaring. Try as I might I could never get one to be friendly to me even though I was always friendly to them. One nurse in particular I always dreaded seeing.
This nurse continually looked bored & even angry. Alarmingly, I caught her looking where the doctor was examining me and she made several faces. That was psychologically upsetting to me! I had properly cleaned myself and prepared myself for the examination. So I could not understand why she was making these ugly faces as the doctor was examining my private areas!
Most women feel vulnerable during a gynecological examination. Having the doctor and nurses showing no empathy and even having brewed expressions during the examination is just more than I can take.
I am changing doctors even if I have to weight a few extra months because I will be a new patient. I refuse to go again to this doctor and leave his office feeling as suppressed as this place feels.
