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.

He put me in renal failure
He discharged me on 3 different meds known to cause renal failure, never mentioned the risk to me, never told me to do anything different like drink more water or anything. A week later, I'm getting admitted to the hospital again with severe kidney failure (Cr of 6.8) and I'm talking to a kidney doctor about needing dialysis. The doctor that admitted me the second time told me I didn't need any of the 3 meds Kuchera put me on, 2 were for a bacterial infection that was never present and never discussed with me, and the other one is a pain med even though I never had any problems with pain. I never had a fever and they never found any infections on my cultures, so I don't know why he put me on any of these meds, and the new doctor was just as confused why he put me on these in the first place. If you're in the hospital and this guy is your doctor, request a different doctor
