Dr Kasten delivered my children. He is a very caring and experienced physician. I always recommend him to my family and friends. If you have a complication, Dr Kasten is who you want to take care of you because of his experience and expertise. He really does care about his patients. His office staff is wonderful and he has a great nurse practitioner Jeannie Lampe also.

I have never experienced the rudeness, disrespect & demeaning manner from a doctor as I did with Dr.Kasten. I was not expecting anything like that at all.Seemed very bothered by my questions regarding my planned surgery. He made it very clear that he didn't like answering the same question more than 1 time. Needless to say.I made a decision to go elsewhere. Would not recommend him just on "bedside" manner alone.

Doctor Kasten is amazing ... in 2009 I was actually seeing another obgyn in his office ... she happened to be on vacation when I went into labor with my first child... the on call doctor was Kasten ... he had awesome bedside manners he was very vocal and explained to me the whole process of everything he was doing... which as a first time mother made me feel 100% better... when my son arrived he was very respectful to my family and finished up as quick as he could so we could all enjoy our new baby.... in my 6 week check up he was also very respectful .... I would and have referred him to many woman...

At first I hated him. I had a miscarriage and he just acted like it was a job he didn't seem to care about me as a person. But after I found out I was pregnant the seocond time,he was the best! He watched me very closely and wanted the best for my baby! After 26 hours of labor he game me the strength to keep going and give birth naturally!! He also acted like he had my best interest and the baby's as well!!! I will definitely go back to him when I have my second child.
