Dr. Kathleen Osten, MD

It was a good experience.

She’s incredibly impatient with patients. My friend nearly was paralyzed (not an exaggeration) because of incompetence and her rude and rushed demeanor. She had to be taken to someone else. I would highly suggest NOT visiting her if possible.

Dr Osten is absolutely the best doctor I have ever been to. She is very thorough and really cares about her patients. I wish I had found her years ago.

Dr Osten was very impatient with me. I usually see Dr Karp but he was in another office. I have hearing difficulties and I read lips to understand better. These masks are not helping my problem out at all. I thought she was terrible. Im probably going to find another group of doctors

I have been seeing Dr. Osten for many years, and I highly recommend her. She is very thorough, kind, and knowledgable. I have never had a problem with her or with her office staff!

Profile says she's been practicing for 28 years. That is NOT necessarily a GOOD thing! Experience is great if you also adapt with the times and keep up with changes / developments in both medicine and how to relate to patients. She doesn't understand that while no, web-MD certainly doesn't make you a doctor, it has made people more informed about their potential health issues. I had Lyme disease, and she refused to treat it until I exhibited ALL the classic symptoms and/or a positive test. However, I had seen that the CDC recommends treatment even if Lyme is only suspected (unconfirmed) to reduce the chance of complications. Either she doesn't keep up on CDC recommendations, or thinks she knows better with her 28 years 'experience.' As someone else mentioned, she talks down to you if you act like you may know even a little about your own illness. Why do I need her if I have to exhibit every last symptom I could find in a medical text? This terrible doctor needs to retire ASAP.

Great doctor and even better person

The worst! She is unprofessional and down right Rude she talks down to you and acts as if you don’t know yourself and when you tell her your issue she treats you for something different then what you say your feeling overall she is awful

I was really pleased with Dr. Osten as a family physician. She is clearly seasoned in what she does, and she does it well. She was clear, concise, and direct. While I've had issues before with being shamed by doctors, Dr. Osten congratulated me on progress and suggested steps to take to reduce obesity, depression, and tips for conceiving. She wasn't incredibly enthusiastic, which I found comforting. She treated me like a real person and was incredibly professional and courteous.

This office staff is absolutely the worst to deal with. I have been trying to get a question answered regarding my son’s care for 3 days now. I leave a message; the nurse calls back with an answer at 4pm or later in the day. I left another message yesterday, nurse just called and didn’t even have an answer! She told me something I told the other nurse yesterday!! So now she must leave another message. Maybe that will get answered at 4pm tomorrow!! Can the doctor not just pick up the phone

She takes time with you and listens. Never a long wait for appointments. Never have to sit in waiting room more than 5 monutes. Very prompt and timely

She and her staff just wants to push pills. Does not care about helping you to manage your illness with nutrition

She took the time needed to thoroughly explore family history and current health conditions.
