I was in the hospital for two weeks and he suggested we reduce my meds. He is very dismissive and a horrible docter

If you are an MS patient, this is not the doctor for you. I have heard he is very good with seizure disorders. I have gone round and round with his office over calling in medication, appointment availability, and more. The bottom line is I called when I was having MS symptoms (as directed by him) in February 2023. All I received was a message to "go get an MRI". I promptly got a brain MRI as ordered, then never heard anything else about it, so I didn't know what else to do. We had an appointment scheduled in June of 2023 where he told me I had a new lesion that could be affecting my right arm. I was never offered any treatment for the new lesion. He then changed me to a new medication (getting the office to follow through with arranging the medication was a whole other junk show). I addressed my concerns with Dr. Kisherney in September 2023 directly in person after several messages on "my chart". By the time I got to the appointment I had been without medication for almost six weeks, and still having symptoms. I switched to a new neurologist in October 2023, who immediately ordered a cervical MRI in addition to a brain and thoracic scan with contrast. Today the doctor confirmed I had many lesions on my spinal column that were causing my symptoms. By the time these lesions were discovered, it was too late to treat them with steroids. I place the blame firmly on Dr. Kisherney for not ordering a cervical MRI, not ensuring my medication was available in a timely fashion, and ignoring my concerns when the symptoms appeared in February 2023. Disappointed and disgusted is an understatement. read more

We have been taking my son to dr kashirny for several years. His bedside manor is brief and to the point. But Ive come to appreciate that. I let them know when meds aren't working or need to be adjusted. read more

Update:Dr. Kashirny and I took awhile to get to know each other. He actually reached out to me and has been much nicer. His temperament is still short, and I attempt to not overtalk. He has defended me against Medicare/Medicaid and their insurance Aetna. He has filed 3 sets of paperwork with Atena because they refuse to pay for my primary medications(more on Gofundme). The quality of Neurologists in this valley has been dismal. I have gone to many, and I couldn't stay where I felt uncomfortable, or was constantly reminded that I didn't have insurance or money. I like a Dr. who is willing to be a person with me,(13 year in medical taught me all these and many lessons.)That is important to me. It has been important to seek that common ground. Being a patient can be difficult, being a Dr. can be frustrating. Last posted: I had been referred by Dr. Kaylor to Whiteside as i wanted a kinder doctor, saw Dr Whiteside twice then he transfered me to Kashirny. OMG! I am calling my primary and asking for another referral. I have complex and multilevel seizures that go out of control. They are taking my mind away and they are incredibly painful. The seizures are long and retrograde amnesia. I took one of my best friends with me...as i dont remember everything and all my information that i have was told by who had been there. This doctor was a cold as ice. He wouldnt listen to me. Wouldn't let me explain in my terms. Actually became very stern and stated he wanted only yes or no answers. The was he got irritated, he let me know to him i was wasting my time. Asked me why i had requested a change in Doctors, I had not done this, Dr.Whiteside had wanted me to go to see him as he was a specialist, to see if there were any other treatments, apparently Dr. Whiteside did not want me was a patient. Dr. K asked me how many seizures i had during a specific time period.. I did attempt to tell him i didnt remember. He did not accept that. I am losing my Medicaid because i dont earn enough money to keep it. So, this appointment will be the last one i have. During my appointment i felt incredibly uncomfortable, and when he made the statement "Everyone is a liar until i have the information in my hands" i got sick, I felt like "oh, No! What has happened, what has been done, oh my god i am having to start all over. I felt stupied, incredibly stupied, and worst of all he made me feel like i was lying to him. This was a horrible experience. I cried and cried afterwards. read more

Dr Kashirny is absolutely the best Dr. he's helped me with all of my ups and downs with my seizure medicine and my terrible migraines. If you don't have insurance he will actually look up the best medication that'll help not only with your problems but your wallet as well. New patients need to go in with the understanding that he is straight to the point but is extremely willing to explain things to make sure you're okay with the medical plans and that you understand. If you're worried about making suggestions, he will take them into consideration and tell you what he thinks and give the pros and cons so you can better decide if that's truly the route you want to go. He's always willing to try new things as long as it's not doing more harm than good. Basically, he needs an award! Haha. read more
