Kara Terhune, NPC

she was not helpful at all. i explained that i have been having problems for years, explained all my symptoms and she told me nothing was significant, ok kara, i guess seeing blood when i go to the bathroom all the time for the past year and having debilitating abdominal pain for SEVERAL years means absolutely nothing and i should just take some fiber and everything will be fine! she was extremely inattentive, unhelpful, and rude. i do not recommend her at all and she shouldn’t even be able to take patients.

She was kind to me. Helped me understand my diagnosis. Gave me options and helped me choose the best choice for me. Great Doctor. Friendly and informative.

Notifed kara of symptoms via my chart and received a respone advising me to stop using my anxiety medication, as it could cause my symptoms. My medication can cause some of my symptoms but not all. It also is an anxiety medication and shouldnt just be stopped with out a plan in place. So I see her in person and she listens intently while I talk. Then says that she thinks it's the medication causing the issue. I respectfully disagree and explain reasons for this. She gets huffy and treated me like a child "well if we do an endocsopy (to look at my stomach) and nothings there you're going to have to stop your medication. She perscribed a hida scan (to look at gallbladder) and didnt even tell me. She also just walked me out the office and didnt say good by or anything. Lacks empathy and common sense. Dont see her.

This woman has done nothing to help my mother and I would not recommend her to anyone. She has terrible bedside manner and does not care about her patients.

Kara was rude, dismissive, and arrogant. At one point she actually laughed at me in front of her student. I was so embarrassed! I recommend choosing a different provider.
