:) Click to report rating    7/26/09 5 3 4 Dr Kafrissen can be very hurtful to deal with, especially when I am depressed. I have a hard time communicating at that point, and I don't feel like I need to be prodded to use proper english and to think about every word that hardly comes out of my mouth. I think he needs to be a little kinder, it wouldn't be such a huge blow to his ego. By the way, the man really has no reason to have such a high opinion of himself anyway. Leave your ego at the door Doc, and come to the embracing aid of your patients. Let's face it, Patch Adams you ain't. Be a good Doc, we all still love you.

:( Click to report rating    12/1/05 4 1 This Doctor is so arrogant. He has a very superior attitude and will talk down to his patients. Dr.Kafrisen is also not up on the latest medications and uses older treatment options. I sww him for major depressiona nd was more depressed on the meds he prescribed.I have since found another local psychiatrist who is helping with success

:( Click to report rating    10/26/05 4 1 Dr.Kafrissen treated my son who is mentally retarted and hospitalized him for a very long time. I later found out that he does this to MR pateients all of time. He was very arrogant and loves the power he has over patient's lives. We have since found a better psychiatrist for our son
