Ratings for Dr. Leonard S. Kurian
3.1
Read about him in the May issue ofConsumer Reports magazine on: What you don't know about your doctor can HURT YOU! he is a perfect example of a doctor NOT to go to!
He is the absolute most arrogant doctor I have ever seen. His statements are contradictory, and he will push what he wants at all costs. He is insensitive and does not listen.
Have been a patient of Dr. Kurian for years. Never had a problem until my last visit when the staff failed to inform me that he was no longer on my insurance provider list even as I gave her my card. I was later informed by my insurance that they denied my claim for over $900.00 ! It was my yearly exam! When I called the office they informed me he was not covered since August of 2015! I was there in October! Be sure to check if he is on your insurance plan. Too bad, I really liked the guy..
This office staff doesn't know what they are doing. I made an appt. over three weeks ago and I am having some problems. I just got a call that I am not covered to see this dr under my insurance plan even though the girl knew my insurance when I made the appt. what if there is something seriously wrong with me? I've wasted over three weeks to get in to see this dr. My appt. is next week. Now I have to find another gyn to help me. Do NOT go to this office if you value your health!
My experience is very much like another review on here. A lot of people strongly recommended him. My best guess is that he is great and flexible when a pregnancy has no complications. As soon as complications began, be became nervous and uptight, a completely different person. When I asked questions, he got defensive, yelled at me, said we were doing it his way, and threw a tantrum. His way went against what other doctors were telling me, and I simply wanted to know his reasoning. He questioned my intelligence, degraded my judgement, and threatened to refuse to see me. I did everything I could to change providers before delivery but it was too late. I ended up driving all the way to LA, in labor, just to avoid him during delivery. I did not trust him, and for good reason. The staff at the hospital did the exact opposite of what Dr. Kurian had proposed and everything turned out better than we could have imagined. His staff was rude and not at all knowledgeable.
I absolutely loved everything about this office. Kurian is so good and fun. I LOVED Paula and Dr. Baker also. Baker did my c section and I was extremely impressed. I hope to have all my kids with them. Waiting time can be a little crazy sometimes but its understandable since they do have to leave and go deliver children :)
Everyone in the office is extremely difficult to contact, even when the situation is time sensitive. The nurses are worthless and simply provide their generic (misguided) opinions. Dr Kurian has no sense of urgency even when the situation requires. I was worried sick my entire pregnancy due to all the unnecessary negativity shown by this office. I tried to switch doctors, but it was too late for anyone else to take me.
The dr.s in the office are great. The wait times to see the dr.s can be long. But avoid the nurse practioner! She is useless!!! Try telling her anything and she gets it worng almost 95% of the time! The dr.s are great caring and willing to answer your questions. The nurse practioner unhelpfull. Every time I see her she is rude and doesnt listen!!!
I spoke with the specialist on birth control options in this doctors office. She was very impersonal and was not very knowledgable on the pros and cons of each option I had. I waited a long time every time I went in for an appt. too. Just didn't get a good feeling from the whole place.
He was amazing! After several miscarriages he referred me to a friend of his who saw me at no charge...they worked together to try to figure out my fertility issues. I eventually got pregnant and had a healthy baby. I felt so comfortable with him and his other doctors. The office usually runs behind schedule because he takes his time with all his patients. He is definitely worth the wait. I LOVE Dr, Kurian!!!
