Demeaning experience. I came in because I have been experiencing horrible menstraul cycles for almost a year since I received my 2nd Covid Vaccine. I am not antivax however need to know whats going on. I was scheduled I think incorrectly but the staff fixed it as a well woman visit which is fine. Once with Dr Kizner, was immediately dismissed of concerns regarding the shot, so I shut down. Went ahead with the exam and was told to undress like normal from waist down. I have never been in the room with a Dr doing a pap for any legnth of time so thought that was odd, but a nurse finally joined us. Wasnt very gentle but figured it was due to this being my first in 3 years. Then Dr Kizner gets up and next thing I know hes pulling my shirt and bra up over my breast like we were in a car making out or something. 45 years old that has never happened. The nurse saw the shock on my face and explained as hes doing the breast exam. He finally jumps in and mutters something. Sent for testing was not prepared for at all. I knew it was a pelvic ultrasound but didnt find out until half way through that there is another part where they are actually putting something in you to take images. And what are you going to say? No. Your right in the middle of the exam. The center I had the ultrasound done at called to check on me after and apparently Dr. Kizner is who was supposed to explain that? Fast forward to today, I finally had a moment to set up an account with Dr. Kizners office, and find out that I have a cysts that he never mentioned when he called to go over the results? Thats scary. How do you miss that? Im not a doctor but I can read as Im sure by now he can. I can understand Dr Kizner is a bit quirky but that is no excuse not to do your job. Especially if you do your part. I sat through that awful exam that was very uncomfortable to have information witheld? This makes no sense and this is not ok. This experience is recent and in trying to figure out why I was treated this way, I realized the why doesnt matter. As women, being dismissed is normal, especially women of color. But to specialize in the field of women and be dismissed, demeaned and have important information about your health withheld is not ok. So no, I do not recommend.

Dr. Kizner is very focused and very knowledgeable, with an open mind (he actually is not cocky and thinks about your questions). Great personality, soft and nice. Just an outstanding experience.

Nursing staff is very rude and will not pass on messages to doctor. Is not up to date on latest procedures for treatment.

I liked him, he's a bit busy but when you pin him down with a question he's forthcoming with info.
