Kathryn Anger, M.D.

Basically I went to her several times over the course of the for depo shots and we talked about the plan we had for getting pregnant. She introduced herself every time and said it was nice to meet me. I’m sorry but if I am coming to you and going to be spending lots of money and time the least you could do is remember that you have met me before. Just saying.

Do not go to Dr. Anger ever! She is awful. I had eclampsia which turned into HELLP syndrome and she never saw the signs. I had to have an emergency csection at 32 weeks pregnant. Months before my delivery I had severe swelling and my blood pressure was slowly rising. I would complain about the swelling at each visit but she told me it was normal and offered to prescribe me compression socks. The night I delivered my husband rushed me to the hospital and 15 minutes after my arrival I had a seizure and bit a chunk out of my tongue. My blood pressure was in the 200’s, I had liver and kidney failure, and my blood wouldn’t clot. I was in ICU for 6 days and in the hospital for a total of 9. My baby was in the NICU for a month. I wasn’t even allowed to see my baby for the first 5 days because I was too critical to leave my hospital room. I had a large hematoma that formed under my csection that later had to be removed with a second surgery after my body had time to recover. She only came to check on me in the hospital a couple of times and now completely ignores me when she sees me around. The sad thing is that I had an appointment with Dr. Anger on Friday and was rushed to the hospital on Monday. It has almost been a month and a half since all of this occurred and I still am trying to recover from two surgeries and care for a premature baby. The Chief of Staff at the hospital visited me in ICU and informed me that all of this could have been prevented. All of the signs were there. We were very lucky that my baby and I survived this. Unfortunately the compression socks were not the answer to my problems.

She was fine but not really answering anything concerning my health questions. It was almost as if they were not a concern. Maybe she doesn’t have enough experience or just was going through the motions because she just took a smear and then gave me papers to get cholesterol blood work and I asked why and does to have anything to do with my concerns and she just said that they were a wellness center. Then said to get a colonoscopy down the street and the front desk on the at our wanted to k e sure that I gave them credit for the referral. I don’t really mind the referral thing but it had nothing to do with my concerns. So I am seeking a doctor that is not «meh, I’ve experienced better».

The worst experience I have ever had with a Doctor. She did not take notes of pain I was experiencing and after the lab test was returned, I received a call from the Dr’s nurse to advise everything is OK and no cancer was found. I asked about the pain and the nurse had no notes regarding the pain and asked if I wanted to make an appointment to come back and talk to the Dr. No, I do not want to pay for another office visit to tell the Dr AGAIN the same thing I did a week ago. She never did address my issue of pain. She is an typical Dr that will take a swab from you send it off to a lab and give you lab results. She was not interested in discussing my health issues with me. She wanted me to go get some blood work and gave me a piece of paper for blood work. She mention they were down the road from the office. No address or information on the bloodwork paper. I had to drive home 15 miles to look up the information for the bloodwork center then drive back 15 miles for bloodwork. Same as the diagnoses — VAGUE. She was rude and unhelpful. I found out more about my symtoms on the internet then I got from Dr Anger

SHORT VERSION: Rude Staff. Doctor not really interested in your opinion. Will not offer IUDs to most women. Constantly incorrect billing and poor organization. LONG wait times.
Why oh WHY did I even give them a second chance?
I saw Dr. Anger last year on my first visit, and while she was friendly, I didn’t feel that she listened to me at all. I was very set on getting some NON-​hormonal birth control in addition to my yearly exam, and in spite of my bad history with hormones, she disregarded my opinions, spent very little time with me, and then wrote me a prescription for Yaz (a HORMONAL pill that has been once again ripped off the market).
She was also adamant that I had an ultrasound completed when it was completely unnecessary.
The staff is RUDE! Rude, rude, rude. I cannot emphasize this enough. Long wait times, bad attitudes, poor organization. They mi scheduled me twice, so I never did get my ultrasound. They never released the results of my exam either.
The second time I was stupid enough to try again, I was given the run around about an IUD and all the myriad of reasons I couldn’t have one. They wanted me to come in for ANOTHER exam and another ultrasound.
Surprise!
I make an appointment to get it out of the way (really want that non-​hormonal IUD) even though they were very resistant to even talk about it with me.
It should be noted that Gynos do not make hardly any $$$ off IUDs because the product itself is so expensive. I firmly believe this was part of the reason Dr. Anger and her staff were resistant to discuss this with me.
I made an appointment friday afternoon, they send me FOUR text message reminders ALL WITH DIFFERENT TIMES!
Naturally, when I call to confirm what time out of the four they sent they wanted me in, no one picks up. I call the MINUTE their office opens on Monday morning, and guess what? They said I should have been there already.
Although I was really frustrated at missing my ultrasound thanks to the lack of organization and communication (completely their fault), I said I could still make the other appointment with the doctor no problem. They said NOPE and asked that I reschedule. AGAIN.
THEN THEY SENT ME A BILL WITH A NO SHOW FEE!
So now I have to pay $ 25 for a f%#^ing no show fee because of their lack or organization, to see a doctor who doesn’t listen to me, them pay another $ 25 to get MY OWN RECORDS released to me.
Fat chance. STAY AWAY.

Dr. Anger was great. I was in and out of the office in about half an hour for my yearly. She answered all of my questions and was very friendly.

Dr. Anger is awesome. She makes you feel comfortable, answers all your questions thoroughly, and really is just down to earth. I’ve never waited too long either. The office is very accommodating — I called today with a question about my birth control and Dr. Anger was not in. They offered her nurse, and she called me back within a couple hours with an informed answer, but wanted to set an appt for Monday with Dr. Anger. I could not have been more pleased! Thanks Dr. Anger, and Cornerstone OB/​GYN for being so reliable and kind.
