I am very happy dr. Kisner was the MD on duty when I was taken to ER for a very heavy postpartum hemorrhage (baby delivered by my regular obgyn). My obgyn knew I had a large fibroid and did not bother to check it before releasing me from the hospital. However dr. Kisner checked me in the ER and immediately supposed what was going on. He requested my medical history and indeed I had a 5x8 cm fibroid that was ruptured during delivery and was causing me to bleed nonstop. After 7 blood transfusions in about 12hours to bring my blood levels to a stable condition, dr. Kisner removed the fibroid in an emergency surgery. He even called me a week after to follow up on me. All these while my regular obgyn did not even bother to check or even mention anything about the incident at my 2 and 6-week check up. I'm now switching doctors and I'm glad it was him in charge of my delicate condition.

Dr. Kizner is a outstanding Dr.I was so glad to come back to him afetr learning I was pregnant from triplets. He deliverd two other children of mine in 1999 nd 2004. Never once did he suggest a c/section. His staff are wonderful, especially Cindy, very friendly nd polite. I love his office very nice nd clean. They have made me feel very welcome nd comfortable. I like the way he brings his pt's into his office nd review's the pt's health history. He answered all my concerns nd questions. I would love for him to deliver my bambinos :) fingers are crossed.

I am kind of shocked at the other reviews. They don't even seem to be describing the same doctor that brought my 2 beautiful twins into this world. I had great appointments, was treated with extreme care (older mom & high blood pressure). He was sensitive, answered every question I asked, and my csection was required because my BP had gone thru the roof. I also had twins and they were vertex. Anyway, really weird to read bad reviews about him, my husband and I adored this doctor and we interviewed 3!

Dr. Kizner is an intelligent well rounded doctor. He has not pushed a c-section at all. The hard part in such a review as the one before mine, is that we do not know what that persons medical history is. The staff is extremely helpful and full of good attitudes. Dr. Kizner is well read and is full of information. I can ask as many questions as I wish and he answers them. The review before mine sound like a naturally irritable patient. Dr. Kizner is support of how a woman wants to birth and lets her decide on what position she wants to give birth in. Team Kizner!!!!!!! A very happy recent mom with a great birth experience because I educated myself and I had a educated doctor.

Very bad service.Easily pushes for c-section.Had a hard time negotiating with him to try VBAC.Is always in a hurry and refusesto answer questions.Tries the best to get out of the room asap.Have to beg for ultrasound to check the position of a breech baby.Very diappointing experience.Staff were very rude and arrogant and forced to do things the way they want it done even if it is harmful to the patient or if the patient is uncomfortble about the procedure.His partner Dr.Agnelli is a nightmare.Had the most horrifying childbirht experience with her.still have not receoved form the traumatic c-section .The incision is not taped neatly and the skin overlaps at the site and causes lot of stretching and pulling pain.The answer is its normal.Its unfortunate my doula suggested this doctor for VBAC.both my miond and body are traumatized by the birthign experience that i had with Dr.Agnellis team.

Does not like to answer questions, not personable, very brief in appointments, staff are really rude and forceful when it comes to scheduling a c-section, does not have experience with External Cephalic Version (ECV), does not suggest any alternative ways to correct a breech baby, only answer is to do a c-section, forceful in wanting patient to go to their hospital of choice for their convenience not the patient.
