Dr. Karen E Agersborg, DO - Reviews Is this you? Claim your profile

I’ve seen the Doctor twice, and both have been positive experiences. First visit we talked about my Primary Care Physicians notes, my health in general, and she shared some things I didn’t even know about my condition (that I needed to know!). She recommended two medications and gave me a Lab Order. My takeaway was the fact she actually talked to me about my condition and listened to me talk about my condition and my history. Second visit we discussed my lab results and our plan of attack. My takeaway; I like having a Doc who explain’s things to you, and doesn’t just ‘tell’ you things. Years ago I went to a Doctor who eventually retired, but every time I had to see him, always made me feel as if I was a relative. I believe I’ve found a Doc like that again.

I saw Dr.Agersborg in approximately 2014. And it was a horrible experience from beginning to end. First I waited a long time in the waiting room. When the doctor finally took me in the back to her office oh, she was on her personal cell phone for about 20 minutes while I waited in front of her. It was not until I got up and was walking out did she end her personal phone call and start my appointment. I was referred there for an enlarged thyroid but while there I pointed out very enlarged lymph nodes in my neck. This doctor actually stood behind me and asked me if the lumps in my neck were lymph nodes because she wasn't sure. We then called the referring doctor on the phone and doctor Karen actually asked the other doctor if the lumps down my sides and the back of my neck where lymph nodes. Then proceeded to ask the doctor where are the lymph nodes in the neck. I was mortified. I'm not even a physician and I know where lymph nodes are in the neck especially when they're sticking out like golf balls. Needless to say I got out of there as fast as I could. here I am in 2018 many years later diagnosed with stage 3 lymphoma. This disease could have been caught many years ago when it was far less progressed had I chose a more competent doctor.

I really like Dr. Agersborg. She is very knowledgeable and gets right down to business. Her competence and willingness to explain what was happening to me medically helped me get through a time that was very scary.

Not good at listening; acts like she knows everything; doesn't need any input from patient; she just wanted to do her thing; not very smart, considerate, nor caring.
