Dr. Karen Crissinger, MD

She will prescribe diarrhea medicine, even if your child HAS diarrhea. Horrible pediatric doctor, not recommended. It’s a good thing we switched to Kids and Tummies. They realized fast that my daughter had issues, and took action. I wouldn’t recommend this doctor to anyone.

My time with her seeing my children was HORRIBLE. She is terrible about getting back in touch with patients. She also is incredibly comfortable with her position. My children were born very premature and have not been gaining enough weight, but since they were minimally gaining, she did minimal work. The girl twin has motility issues that she did nothing about. She wasn’t even the one to diagnose. It took an ED doctor 10 minutes to figure that out when Crissinger had been seeing my children for months and nothing. Also commenting and rating on behalf of a friend of mine who has also been under her care. Her son just got out of the hospital after being severely constipated. It took Crissinger a WEEK to get back in touch with this mom. Thank goodness that mom has a proactive pediatrician. Crissinger’s nurse and NP are wonderful, but unfortunately not enough to make up for Crissinger’s incompetence

Doesn't care about your child. She doesn't try to get down to the point what's causing uour child to be sick. Always just recommending increase in medications and trying different over the counter medicines.

The Dr ignored our treatment plan we were asked to create. No test were recommended by the physician. I had to request specific test in an attempt to find causality. After my sons barium enema, it took the Dr 3 days to return my call. She left out the fact our son has possible SPINA BIFIDA OCCULTA. Needless to say, we canceled upcoming appointments.
