Froedtert Kewaskum Health Center

"Very positive experience The nurses are very professional and nice. Dr. Budny is a very caring, thorough doctor!"

"Carrie Rothering is a dream NP!! Never has a doctor cared so much about me or spent so much time working with me. She validates my every concern and works with me to find (a) proper solution(s). I’ve been seeing Carrie for almost ten years now, but I will continue to drive to Kewaskum from Milwaukee for her incredible service!"

"Dr. Anthony Rutkowski is the best ~ he listens well and is very kind and compassionate. He takes his time with me and never makes me feel rushed. He is the best around and truly cares about his patients. I would definitely recommend him for the entire family."

"Jennifer nalgoski was my entire family's doctor for two years and was very friendly and professional however be cautious when you are being prescribed mental health medication and know personally what you need because she has a habit of putting people on black boxed medication either by not knowing or by thinking it will all be okay in the end. As a medical professional she should have known better and had prescribed me montalukast while being on the black box list well over 2 years - it being prescribed in 04/2022 - so now I sit here stuck with a very addictive and mind altering substance in my body while also having it also effecting my it's and other major health issues. And causing my seizures to have been getting worse and also having found out its been making my c-ptsd night terror to have been getting worse that ultimately made me needing to be taking more medication when really I could have just been taken off this one medication that have been destroying my body and has quite literally been making me sick. Like I have legit been repeatedly been getting upper respiratory infections as well and might have even had my gallbladder removed due to stomach pains and upper gi upset all because of this one darn medication all because one day doctor decided to not look over the warnings closely enough. Feel free to read the information below. Warnings the drug could cause depression, aggression, and suicide began appearing in the package insert for Singulair in 2008, a decade after the drug was put on the market, but the risks were not generally advertised. According to the FDA, side effects of Singulair and its generics include suicidal thoughts and actions, agitation, aggressive behavior or hostility, attention problems, bad or vivid dreams, depression, disorientation, or confusion, feeling anxious, hallucinations including seeing or hearing things that are not there, irritability, memory problems, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, restlessness, sleepwalking, stuttering, tremor or shakiness, trouble sleeping, and uncontrolled muscle movements. In September of 2019, the FDA held a public meeting titled ‘Neuropsychiatric Events with the Use of Montelukast in Pediatric Patients.’ Montelukast is the generic of Singulair. The FDA provided data showing more than 10,000 nervous system and psychotic events attributed to Singulair had been reported to the agency through their ‘FDA Adverse Event Reporting System.” FAERS is a database where the public and health care professionals can report problems with medication. Some health experts at the meeting believe the thousands of reports represent only a fraction of the actual number of problems experienced by patients. Acknowledging that many health care professionals and patients are not aware of the risk of mental health side effects, the FDA issued a ‘box warning’ for Singulair and its generic Montelukast in March of 2020. A box warning is the agency’s strongest warning and alerts patients that a drug carries the potential for serious side effects or death. Included in the FDA’s warning: Serious mental health side effects have been reported in patients taking Singulair. Because of the risk of mental health side effects, the benefits of Montelukast may not outweigh the risk in some patients. Singulair should be reserved to treat allergies only in patients who cannot tolerate other medicines. Discontinue Singulair immediately if a mental health side effect occurs. And this is just the bare minimum of what I could list. Now keep in mind I was not told any of this what so ever when I started or was offered to start the medication"
