Ratings for Dr. Katherine M. Cvar
3.2
DO NOT choose Dr. Cvar unless you want genital mutilation along with childbirth. Knowing I wanted the most natural birth possible, she bullied me into pitocin and an epidural and gave me a severe episiotomy that lead to fecal incontinence- my baby was tiny, it was totally unnecessary. And she refused to even answer any questions about the horrific birth because I changed insurance. Do not let her deliver your baby!!
Dr Cvar came highly recommended but never have I been more disgusted or disappointed in a Doctor. It was clear she felt I had enough children already and should not have more. She tried to dissuade me from having another child by telling me at my age (36) I could have twin with Down syndrome. I was shocked. during my pregnancy she misread ultrasounds, pushed for early D&C's, and made devastating medical decisions that ultimately caused a miscarriage of a healthy baby. The miscarriage was traumatic and required emergency surgery. She never once apologized, nor did she call to check up on me. The minute she realized her mistake she washed her hands of it and never looked back. She was more concerned with avoiding a lawsuit than her patient.
Dr. Cvar successfully conducted a Laparoscopic hysterectomy on me. I give her 5 Stars for being thorough, making me feel comfortable, for fantastic patient care, explain my issues and how to best address them, It is not just the treatment, but the care and empathy shown by doctors like her who make the world a better place to live in. Also the courtesy and professionalism of her staff and team. . I will be forever grateful to her for all she has done for me.
Dr. Cvar is extremely rude and condescending. I was told by my home nurse to call her when she was on call. She was so upset about my question that she yelled at me and told me I was wasting her time. On her profile she's says she loves getting to know her patients? I think she means enjoys getting to yell at them. I would not recommend her or her services at all.
I was very impressed with Dr. Cvar and her back office staff. They were all great. Dr. Cvar was very knowledgable and definitely went the extra mile. I appreciate that Dr. Cvar spent quality time with me reviewing my history and responded accordingly. I feel blessed to have her as my doctor.
I love Dr. Cvar! She has helped me through a pregnancy and a miscarriage. Although the office staff isn't the most friendly, I do love her assistant. Avril is very nice and has gone out of her way to help me with things I needed. Yes, there are numerous times that Cvar isn't on time, but I know she is amazing at what she does and I trust her judgement. I have been with her for 15 years and always base my insurance around her. Wonderful doctor!
Dr. Cvar herself is okay, nothing special, but her staff is extremely rude and unfriendly! I have always had to wait a very long time to see the doctor, since she is never on time. She is always running about an hour late, and then when you do get in to see her, she talks so fast I always leave never knowing what it was that she was trying to tell me. She is not clear in her explanations and she assumes you already know what it is that she is trying to convey. So I can not give her a high score for staff, punctuality ore helpfulness, as for knowledge I am not sure since like I said earlier she is always so rushed and fast to explains any of the procedures to I am not sure she knows what she is doing. I will be looking for another doctor since my problem still exists. From the looks of these reviews, I am not the only one who is not happy with her services or that from her office staff!!! There is no one from billing to explain or go over an of the charges or to get preapproval.
Dr. Cvar's office staff are unfriendly and rude. She always too busy. Her assistant lied about sending my prescription for 2 weeks. I caught her when I showed up at the office and demanded to see the faxed prescription. Recently I tried to make an appointment with Dr. Cvar because I was sick. I was told Dr. Cvar was on vacation and there is no doctor to cover her patients. I was forced to see a nurse practitioner. When I tried to inform her of my experience she told me that these are acceptable because the office is too busy. She works very hard and the insurance companies do not pay enough. She also told me if I am not happy with her office I should go to another doctor. I have been her patient for some 15 years and she now refuse to treat me when I am sick. I strongly recommend against Dr. Cvar.
Dr. Cvar delivered my first child. I am pregnant with my second child and going to a new doctor because I moved out of the area and have new insurance. I am so unhappy with my new Dr. I have been considering commuting the 30-40 minutes to Dr Cvar. She was amazingly comforting, sweet, informative, never missed an appointment and delivered my beautiful son. Biggest negative is the wait time... way too long sometimes 60-90 minutes.
Dr. Cvar delivered our first baby girl and she was awesome! First, she always made my wife feel very comfortable. Second, she was very detailed and straight forward, but in a kind way. Finally, she put up with me. Always answering my questions in ways that left me confident and informed about the situation.(I am the guy who worries too much and asks a million questions every visit) Wait times are a little rough some times, but what do people expect, she is running back and forth to the hospital at all hours. Babies don't always stick to our schedules. I would never go to anyone else.
