Dr. Cynthia Gail Kristensen, MD

First, let me say that I am a "former" patient only because Dr. Kristensen advised me to see someone who was specialized in transplantation, and she was planning to make changes to her location and practice. I was a patient of hers for probably close to a decade or more, and always found her to be knowledgeable, kind but firm when called for, and never, ever a racist or rude! That comment from another patient doesn't even mesh with the doctor I knew pretty well. Dr. Kristensen supported me through the failure of my first transplant after 16+ years, dialysis for 3.5 years, and a second transplant in 2003 that is still functioning pretty well today. I could not have asked for better care!

I have been under Dr. Kristensen's care for three and one half years. I have always been treated with respect and sincerity by both Dr. Kristensen and her staff. I feel that whenever I visit the office for check-up and care, I'm visiting friends and not some cold medical office. Dr. Kristensen always makes me feel like I am the only patient in the office. She always takes her time with me, answering all my questions and fully explaining (making sure I understand) everything to my satisfaction. Dr. Keistensen is warm, kind, very understanding and compassionate. She has excellent bedside manner. Would I recommend Dr. Kristensen to my family and friends? Absolutely!!!

If you value your life and well-being, You would definitely request another physician. Dr. Cynthia Kristensen is a very unprofessional, rude, racist, feminist. I've heard her make very derogatory statements to a patient at Davita dialysis center.
