This "Dr" presented a report to my insurance company without ever having any kind of consultation with me. He is not a mental health professional and had no knowledge of my case. Both a Psychiatrist and Psychologist have questioned his IMC review outcome. What a joke! This man should be deregistered as soon as possible.

This guy lied on my report to insurance company, he bullied me, freighted me, he asked if I had a mortgage and what my wife did for a job !! Nothing to do with my injuries. He shouldn’t be in the job.

Dr Con didn’t do the right thing by my and illegally was talking the medical professionals before consultations even the first. Stand over tactics to say to medical professionals that he will make there life hard if they don’t sign me back to work. He was illegally looking to get me back to work which I’ll add would of died a Dr said before rejecting a first Dr’s advice. I sort a second opinion from another Dr 3-4 days later in Broken Hill and that’s where I have evidence and also people to do statements around if conduct. I have wittinesss that can varify my complaint. He also was trying to stand over them tactics to. I have two Dr’s who said at the time about his dodgy actions and that they are willing to do a statement regarding it. It’s allegedly bribery and bulling, Where’s my care and well being. He pressured the medical professionals that o was seeing to send be back to work with permanent injuries and not in any state for the mines. I’ll get statements…!

Con Kafataris has been registered as a doctor for just over 30 years, but he actually is not actively working in medicine (and has not for quite a long while now) and he is not a general specialist in any area of medicine. He's definitely not a GP so I don't know where people are getting that information from. He only hold general medical registration. On average it takes about 10 years post med school gradation to study, train and qualify in a speciality so it makes you question what the heck Con has been doing with himself and why hasn't he applied himself and advanced anywhere with his career, and he's not even injured lol. His medical training is .. very basic and outdated. His lack of clinical insight to my work injury was so painfully obvious, it was embarrassing. I've trained 2nd year Med students who can perform a basic head to toe clinical assessment more accurately than this flop. Con probably works for the insurance company because this is his DEAD LAST career option that he has to be able to "use" his medical degree to formally keep his medical registration active. Con likely has burnt all of his bridges within the medical and health community and you can all take a good guess why lol. I made it clear that if he attempts to harass, stalk or intimidate any other clinician involved in my care the board will be formally notified of his professional misconduct. He ended up not making one single phone call, and it was probably the best decision he's ever made in his entire career lol . When my case managers read his final report out to me we had a chuckle because he had contradicted himself, he must've struggled to write it fairly. I understand that this man has a job to do, but I ain't no pushover.

If anyone has experienced any issues or concerns regarding Con's professional conduct with carrying out your assessment. I strongly encourage you to please get in touch with the HCCC: https://www.hccc.nsw.gov.au/contact-us
By putting your complaints in writing this will raise enough red flags for the HCCC to look into his character and practice especially when they receive a substantial amount of them to trigger an investigation.

Start off like a machine gun dictating government policy and how I will receive nothing after 2 years. Didn’t listen to a word just bullied and dictated his way through the entire consult organised by the insurance company to get an opinion in their favour. You wonder how these kind of things sleep at night Even asked how I think I will survive with no income. Clearly an outcome he striving for. The Worst

This Dr did a report on myself and my condition without even speaking to me. He lied in his report about my NTD agreeing to things which he informed me he didn't. Just another grubby doctor, lying just to get money.
