St. Louis Kidney Consultants 456 North New Ballas Road, St. Louis, MO 63141

"I was referred to Dr Larson by my primary care. Called to schedule and was pushed into appt with nurse practitioner; being told I would see Dr Larson at a follow up appt. The NP ordered many tests and imaging. It was revealed that I had one non perfusing (not functioning) kidney. My follow up visit was supposed to be with Dr Larson; but, instead was scheduled with Dr Mendel. He turned out to be a jerk. Talked to me as if I was an idiot; and his staff seemed to take the cue from him. dr said to schedule follow up visit in 6 months. There was no recommendation for treatment other than watch my diet. I am normally in the BJC system, so rely heavily on their reminders. I asked Dr Larson's staff if I would get a reminder. They assured me I would. The only call I got was the time of my appt. When I returned the call is when I found out I had missed my appt. I had called to reschedule, but the office staff was so rude, I decided not to. There was no benefit for me going to this office. Now they have charged me $30 for missed appt and turned it over to collection, adding additional fees."

"Dr. Derek Larson is the absolute best!! He is kind..compassionate..knowledgeable...i would give 10 stars"
