Dori Kasparek MD

"Dr Kasparek performed a total hysterectomy on me. She did it laparoscopically but did not follow the guidelines which recommend to not morcellate anything. It’s recommended to contain the uterus in a bag before cutting it in case it’s cancer so that cells will not spread through abdomen (especially for women over 50). My ‘fibroids’ turned out to be a sarcoma which has now spread my abdomen because she morcellated my uterus without confining it before removal. I read and watched several surgeries online before my surgery and told her specifically not to morcellate anything. She told me it is “illegal to morcellate”. I would not recommend her to anyone. My life has now changed because if her. One star rating is too high"

"I’ve been seeing Dr Kasparek for 12 years. She is absolutely fantastic. I usually travel and my schedule is all over the place, so I see any one of the providers in her office as they are all great. Today I had the chance to see Dr K and I told her I hadn’t seen her in years and she literally remembered EVERYTHING about me, my family, my daughter. It was amazing to see her that involved with her patients. Refills are easily handled and their blood draw team (Diana) is so good. I have to drive about 35 minutes to get to her office now as we moved, but I will never switch doctors. Wonderful practice"

"Awesome doctor, I will recommend Dr Dori to all my friends. She is very understanding of ones situation, had great bed side manners, is always happy and pleasant to speak to. I had bad experience from previous pregnancy and was hoping for a doctor who can understand my anxiety and be supportive and was ver pleased to have found Dr Dori. I couldn’t have asked for a better doctor. If anyone from her office is reading this review I do want to request the nurses to be little more cheerful. Other than 1 nurse over there all others are always so dull and serious all the time. No greeting with a smile no have a good day after the appointment when we come out of our exam room. They just sit there completely ignoring you. Hope you guys can work on that. Other than that hardly any waiting time, clean office, good coffee. And the new app makes all the information very handy."

"After my doctor retired, I thought I would never find another who I “clicked” with as much. At last, my search is over! Ladies, we can tell in 60 seconds if it’s going to be a good fit. Right? I knew I had found my new dr instantly. LOVE that it felt as if were a team, and that she took the time to offer hormone replacement ideas that I had no idea were available. I’m not an idiot, I just assumed they’re all the same. She made me feel at ease, not rushed, and reviewed all my medical history and asked a ton of questions that no doctor had ever asked before. No idea why some people have said they felt rushed....weird. Her staff is also amazing, not that I was surprised. Great vibe, fantastic experience. Do yourself a favor, stop looking, and see Dr Kasparek!"

"I posted this review in 2014. There were several other negative reviews. It looks like Dr. Kasparek took down her google page and created a new one....Since I am re-posting I will add that due to this experience I was diagnosed with PTSD.... My experience with Dr. Kasparek was single handedly the worst experience of my life. If you are looking for an OB that will respect your wishes and rights when it comes to the birth of your child, Dr. Kasparek is not the doctor for you. If you want to schedule your c-section out of convenience, then Dr. K is your gal! I thought that I had chosen a like minded doctor that would give me personalized attention when it came to birthing my child. I was completely wrong. I was shuttled through her c-section factory line and left with nothing but questions and regrets. Even though the specialist had recommended that go home on bed rest and deliver at 37 weeks, Dr. Kasparek decided that it was more convenient to deliver at 35 weeks. One minute I was told I was going home and the next minute I was told that I had 10 minutes to make a decision between a surgical delivery (which was to happen immediately) or inducing labor which could take 3-4 days. When we asked why we were told over and over again that "we needed to move toward delivery". However, I was not in distress, the baby was not in distress, and my medical records show that there was no medical reason to deliver that day. My baby was only 4 lbs and had to spend 2 weeks in the NICU. Dr. Kasparek never came to see me before the c-section. She left as soon as the baby was delivered to do another c-section and had a surgical assistant sew me up. She came to visit me one time while I was breastfeeding in the NICU which did not give me any time to ask questions. No one briefed me on the expectations for recovery after my surgery. When I told her my concerns she told me that I was "hormonal and emotional" and that I would have "more perspective on the situation with time". At that time she also told me that is was up to my insurance company as to when I would be discharged, but then went directly to the nurses station and signed my discharge papers without anyone ever checking to see if I could stay another day. My discharge papers were signed before I had met the medical requirements to be discharged AND most importantly, she discharged me without prescribing a RhoGam shot. The RhoGam is medically necessary and should have been given on the same day that I gave birth since my blood type is O- and the baby was is A+. Needless to say, I refused to return to her practice and saw 2 other OBGYN's for second opinion's and my 6 week follow up. Both doctors told me that my c-section incision was not good. One doctor even asked if I had had another surgery in the same area because the dimpling from the sutures was was so evident. Both doctors also stated after looking at the medical records that they would not have delivered that day and that there was "clearly a breakdown in communication". Moreover, we received $3500 bill for the "surgical assistant" that sewed me up because that service is not covered my insurance plan. It has been almost 4 months since my baby was born and I am still nothing short of LIVID. If Dr. Kasparek had spent anytime with me or actually reading the specialist recommendations, maybe my baby would not have had to spend 2 weeks in the NICU. Maybe I would not have had to have a significantly invasive surgery. Maybe I would have happy memories of the birth of my child. I can't go back, but if I could I would have said, "NO. I do not give informed consent and refuse treatment until I can have a second opinion." My husband and I were scared and put our trust in Dr. Kasparek, which I will regret for the rest of my life."
