Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Disappointed
We were very disappointed in our visit with Dr. Kakish. He was really dismissive and seemed bothered. Everything seemed like an inconvenience to him and we walked away with no explanation of why he was saying what he was saying. Would not recommend him.

Long covid evaluation
I am a veterinarian and understand the basics of a good neurologic exam. I can not express enough how poor the evaluation was. No reflex tests were done, did not watch him walk, etc. He jumped to the conclusion it was all 'in his head' even though we had extensive testing from oishei stating otherwise. He questioned why we were there as brain fog and other symptoms he has are not neurologic conditions they work with BUT I know most if not all long covid centers have a neurologist as a part of the team. He said if I wanted it he could order an mri in a demeaning tone to placate me but clearly indicated it was not needed. (A long covid dr told me recently that mri and contrast mri are indicated for him) He should be embarrassed by his behavior and prejudicial thoughts and I would not have him in my hospital or on my team.

Dissapointed to say the least
I was left with an uneasy feeling after he gave me the results of an EEG. I requested a follow up appointment and he was annoyed immediately when I brought up that my neurologist looked at my son's chart. After that he didn't bother to listen to any of my concerns and talked over me. He made it clear that he thought he was wasting my time when he said next time don't come in, do a telamed vist.

He was very flat. Did not explain things well. He treated my husband, myself and daughter like we were imbiciles. He literally was talking to us over his shoulder as he was leaving the exam room. Wwe will never see home again.
