Dr. Thomas Krisztinicz, MD

It has been just over 2 years since Dr. Krisztinicz did my back surgery. I am pain free and able to do a number of things I have not been capable for years. Since July 2020 I have been swimming regularly. I now swim between 3 to 4 days for about an hour. I am also walking and keeping a fitness journal to keep track. Lately, I have also been able to finally start losing weight. Currently, I down about 15lbs. My goal is to lose about 20% of weight, about 60lb, so I can have my right knee replacement, which has been bone on bone for years. In additional, my mental health quantity is level I have not seen in decades. I am very appreciative for all the help that Dr. Krisztinicz and the medical staff has done for me to get to this point. I strongly can recommend the care and attention of all medical staff and mainly Dr. Krisztinicz.

I just had lower back surgery a month ago with Dr. K. He seemed great over the phone and pre surgery. However, post OP in the hospital awful bedside manner!!! Which continued into my office appt. He kept recommending I take medications not once but 3 times in one appt. That had he'd bothered 2 look at my chart he'd know I was allergic. I've had an abnormally high amount of pain since the procedure and only hope everything is ok? But have only done an ex ray post OP so? Idk if his work is good or not...He surely thinks so. And my nerve pain in legs is gone. Bedside manner tho....

I had back surgery with Dr. K. The surgery went very well. What I really appreciated was the time he spent after the surgery at the hospital to make sure I was ok.

If I could give him zero stars, I would. He did a terrible job on my spine fusion. My current doctors were stunned when they saw my MRIs. They said his technique was out of date, and that he didn't even decompress my spine. I am now disabled due to the lousy job he did on me. Don't let this guy touch you. Biggest mistake of my life allowing him to operate on me.

I would not recommend this Dr. This Dr definitely has a GOD complex. He seemed to get upset with questions regarding procedures he performed in the past and current options he provided to address my current issues. My first encounter with him was positive although I was told he had terrible bedside manner...I was able to witness the rumors during my most recent appointment. While Kaiser Permanente staff is great...I would not refer anyone to this Dr.

Honest and up front, did not talk down to me. Made sure hospital staff was treating his patients with respect.
