Ratings for Dr. K Attuah
I've been seeing DR.A for 22 years and have NEVER been spoken to rudely, treated badly, or had a procedure go wrong. We must remember no two human bodies will respond to treatment, medications, or surgery the same way. Two people could have the exact same surgery preformed the exact same way by two different doctors with very different outcomes and it will have nothing to do with the doctors - there are never any guarantees with surgery and we should all be aware and prepared to deal with the unexpected - just in case. I'm one of the many who wonders where will I go when Dr. Attuah retires???

Dr.Attuah is a great doctor! If you need to get into see him, you get in within the week. I have never had an experience in all the years I have been going to see him where he was mean or unthoughtful of my feelings. I have shown pain during a pap and the first word out of his mouth is always "sorry". Him and his staff make you feel relaxed and at ease. Whenever a new mother has complications he is always the first to be called because he is the best at what he does! I regret the day he retires, as he is a great doctor.

I would never recommend this dr to anyone. After my first C-section, I had a bad infection that everyone could see but him until the day my incision burst open because there was no room left inside for the infection to travel. The infection caused horrible hallucinations. All he could say was "sorry kid". I was nearly 30 at the time(not a kid at all). I have a copy of my medical records and in there he has so many comments that don't even belong to me. I was never in my life 350lbs., I never had a miscarriage like he had stated...and so many more errors that shouldn't be there in something as important as medical files. I don't know where he got his medical license but it should have been revoked long ago. I can actually say "my life flashed before my eyes" and truly mean what I say because it happened to me after he operated on me back in 1988. I had nightmares for years because of it.

I love this doctor, I had to have an on-call doctor deliver my second child because he was unable to do deliveries at that time and after the second delivery I have had nothing but infections and to the resue came Attuah it took a yr of test but now I am great he is the best doctor one could ask for. Oh and for the first c-sectin it was done by Attuah and everything was perfect. He is just amazing, caring, knowledgeable and real. Great man all the best to him.

I went to Dr Attuah in October 2007 to get a tubal ligation.A week later my stomach was completely black and blue and extremely painful and I started bleeding from the lower incision.I was admitted to hospital,they figured Dr Attuah nicked a blood vessel.The day after I was admitted Dr Attuah came to my hospital room and started pressing hard on my stomach I was crying out in pain as it hurt so badly, he started getting mad at me and started yelling "what is the matter with you I am trying to help!" He then asked the nurses to get some scissors and a tube.Dr Attuah to the horror of myself and the three nurses present proceeded to cut my stitches and then my skin making my original incision bigger by about an inch on either side. I had NO freezing or local or pain meds.There was no sterilization of scissors the window beside my bed was open.Dr. Attuah continued to yell at me for crying in pain.He had NO compassion whatsoever! I filed a complaint with the College of Physicians and won.

Dr.Attuah performed surgery on me in March of 08, after which he told me that I had infertility problams and that I would have to go see a specialist, it is now September '08 and I have not been referred to a specialist yet. And every time I call I get told that I would know by the end of the week, I have been told this for 6 months now. I believe that Dr. Attuah is good at finding out why things are not happening but when it comes to getting sulutiions he dosent seem to care. Dr. Attuah never came to see me after the surgery nor did he come and talk to my husband, at my appointment after the surgery he was very uncareing and showed no feelings when he told me that I may never have children. He just said it and then told me that if I wanted he would send me to see a specialist but has not taken the steps to get me the appointment that I need. I trusted that he would help me but I have lost all trust in him. I have now taken it into my own hands to et the hepl I need to have a baby.

I had a hysterectomy 9 years ago, Dr. Dowd started the procedure, there were many complications due to the severe endometriosis. they had to call in Dr. attuah to help finish the hysterectomy. It took Dr's Dowd and Attuah 4 hours to complete the hysterectomy, I thank God for the knowledge of Dr. Attuah & Dr. Dowd. If it weren't for them I would have died (My heart had stopped on the Operating table). After the procedure Dr. Attuah frequently came and checked on me. THANK YOU VERY MUCH DR ATTUAH

Dr Attuah was on call for both of my delivers & I was so happy to have him. He is a wonderful DR. For my first deliver he made us very at easy & even joked & made us laugh. For my second. My heart went out to him. He had one girl in the hospital & was going to give her a csection. I think he was hoping to go home after that because his back was bothering him something terrible that night. In I come waddling. He was wonderful even thru his own discomfort. Dr Attuah is a great Dr. I am glad I had the chance to meet him

Doctor Attuah is a great Doctor. Currently he is not doing deliveries so we had to have the on call doctor to do the delivery but Dr. Attuah did come and check the baby and my wife the next day at the hospital. I would have given him ratings of 5 across the bord but with him not being the delivering doctor I had to lower the rating fro helpfulness and knowledge. As far as Punctuality goes, Dr. Attuah was fairly punctual but there where times where we had to wait a bit in the waiting room past our scheduled appointment time.

If this is the guy who works out of Queensway Medical.. he is TERRIBLE. Very rough and quick, not friendly at all. Makes you feel like the reason you are there is your fault entirely. His assistant was talking to me rudely and I did NOT feel like being there at all. It was uncomfortable, unfriendly and I couldn't understand a word he said. I would never go back to him as I disliked every minute I had to sit in that room with the two of them.
