This is the most horrible pediatrician I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. He has neither the skills nor the bedside manner to practice medicine. New in town, we saw Dr. Max Kahn for the first time for our son's 2-year checkup. He prescribed an ointment for my son's leg rash. When I got the cream home, I read the package insert. It warned that the cream was NOT for use in pediatric patients because of potential adrenal suppression. The cream was called "Fluticasone Propionate Ointment 0.005%". When I called the office to have him call in a different ointment, he told me that though the cream was not tested in children, or directed for use by its manufacturer, he regularly prescribes it to children anyway. I was horrified.
During that same appt, I told him that I didn't want to vaccinate my son at that particular appt. We do vaccinate, but not on a strict schedule. I told him that directly after one of my son's regular vaccinations he experienced high-pitched screaming for over 3 hours, and high fever. We reported it to our doctors at the time, and have been cautious ever since. Dr. Kahn became defensive, angry, rude to me and my mother and left the room without finishing our checkup. He did not even discuss my son's height and weight progress. He told me to leave the practice.
For the sake of your children's health I suggest avoiding Max Kahn. read more
