Karen Z. Hanna, MD

My dad was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis and went to doctor Hanna for a heart workup. He was told that because he had a negative stressed test that he would not need a heart cath. A year later a heart cath was performed to be qualified for a lung transplant to come to find that he had 80% blockages in three major vessels. Her presence is very unconcerned and arrogant. Would definitely not recommend her to anyone

This doctor did not prescribe any medications for my rmother”s mitral valve stenosis. This doctor couldn’t even pick up a pen And write a prescription for my mother . If she’s a cardiologist then she should know what to prescribe . But she prescribed nothing. My dad told me this. My dad and I thought a cardiologist. Would want to help her patients. Not this one. She should have prescribed meds. Doctor Hanna caused my mom to get worse by not lifting a finger to help her. Medications could. have helped my mom . It’s not my job to have to tell the doctor what to do. My dad Didn’t realize it soon enough that dr Hanna didn’t do what she was suppose to for my mom. After my mom died, I was horrified by dr hanna”s bad attitude. I was devastated by my mom”s death . I looked up her condition on Mayo Clinic site. I thought her cardiologist would have had the sense to have my mom on meds. My dad who went with my mom to the dr appts. Said no meds were prescribed. Mayo Clinic… Website under diseases has a list of medications to help treat mitral valve stenosis. Dr Hannah “s approach is to do nothing. That’s what she did , absolutely nothing. I’m not a cardiologist. But by looking at the Mayo Clinic site , it seems pretty straight forward the meds to prescribed. I would have prescribed medication and or combination of meds on the list. But I didn’t know , my dad didn’t know. It’s not our job to know , it’s the doctor”s job. Pretty sad this doctor couldn’t prescribe a medication or medications from the Mayo Clinic treatment list . That is what it is. Pathetic excuse of a doctor. Who doesn’t want to help their patient. She didn’t want surgery for my mom either. Nor did she even know about the less evasive procedure done in Pennsylvania. My dad told her about it and dr Hanna didn’t even know the procedure existed. If my dad found it, dr Hanna as a cardiologist. Should have known about it on her own . But she didn’t she only found out about it because my dad told her. Dr Hanna. Didn’t give my mom meds on Mayo Clinic site , she I’m sure knew their were meds to prescribe but she didn’t want to prescribe them. She’s something else . Also she was negative about my mom having surgery and was also negative about my mom having the less evasive procedure. The less evasive procedure that as a cardiologist she knew nothing about. My dad had to tell her about it and the details etc. pathetic doc. Also due to my mom”s age , she didn’t think she’d do well , she told my dad. Well she’s wrong. She would have done well . My mom was 86 when she died. She would have lived longer if doctor Hanna lifted a tiny finger to do something. My mom had surgery by a thoracic surgeon on her neck , when she was 83 . My mom bounced back beautifully and recovered beautifully due to a talented vascular surgeon , not dr Hanna. My mom was strong. She proved she’s tough . Dr Hanna is responsible for doing not much of anything to help my mom”s mitral valve stenosis . I feel this doctor caused my mom”s health to deteriorate by doing hardly anything. Also Pulmonary hypertension from what I read is a complication from mitral valve stenosis. Dr Hannah didn’t make my mom or dad or me aware of this. I read about it after my mom died. Dr Hannah should have been on top of things. She didn’t prescribe meds and didn’t want to do much and didn’t do much. Is this age discrimination , laziness or she just didn’t care.? Find a better doctor than dr . Hanna. I think she treated my mom like dirt. She DIDN”T EVEN PRESCRIBE MEDS THAT ARE ON MAYO CLINIC WEBSITE. That she knew were meds to treat mitral valve stenosis. Pathetic care and doesn’t care and doesn’t Want to treat the patient. Find a better doctor. She is terrible .

Didn’t care for the way she treated my relative. She didn’t do enough for my relatives heart condition. She could have put my relative on More medicines fir their heart condition. She didn’t explain or point out the complications of heart condition which can be life threatening. She didn’t do enough. She’s very negative. And poor bedside manner . She treated my mother like dirt. Find a better doctor.

Doctor Hannah never diagnosed my parent with a medical condition. This is pathetic. This medical condition should have been diagnosed by her but never was . My relatives heart condition and another medical condition can coexist. Also my relatives heart condition could lead to pulmonary hypertension. Dr Hannah never diagnosed my relative with pulmonary hypertension never Dr Hannah never treated my relative for pulmonary hypertension. There are many medications out there on Mayo Clinic’s site that are used to treat pulmonary hypertension. Dr Hannah wasn’t that invested in helping my parent. Because my parent should have been diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension sooner. And the risks for it were there. The heart condition my parent had and pulmonary hypertension go hand in hand from what I’ve read. Dr Hannah as a cardiologist should know that. I am disgusted, disturbed , disappointed at the extreme lack of attention and effort given to help my parent. Dr Hannah couldn’t… even diagnose pulmonary hypertension and treat it to help my parent. She never diagnosed pulmonary hypertension and she never treated it. There are many medications that can be used to effectively treat it according to Mayo Clinic. Site in pulmonary hypertension. I blame dr Hannah for not diagnosing it Not treating it , not giving my parent the respect and not giving my parent good medical care. Where’s the compassion , where’s the effort. Is it because my parent was old. She didn’t do enough and didn’t diagnose enough and didn’t prescribe medications enough And she didn’t treat medical conditions enough and she didn’t care enough because she didn’t want to put forth much of an effort. My mom was a great fabulous person and deserved a much better doctor. Who knows how to diagnose better and prescribe and give treatment. I feel Hannah didn’t want to treat or prescribe for my mother. I feel her bad attitude And lack of diagnosing and not treating her when she needed to be. And her failure to diagnose pulmonary hypertension A long time ago we’re all contributing factors to my mom getting worse and my mom dying. I kniw how to treat pulmonary hypertension. It’s on Mayo Clinic site. Sad about my mom. She should have had a better doc than Dr Hannah. The elderly are worth the effort. Everyone of all ages is worth the effort. Dr Hannah didn’t think my mom was worth any effort. It makes me sick

I am far from impressed with this doc. My mother was in the hospital and my mom wanted continued all medical care possible to help her medically and to save her life if necessary including life support And CPR. Dr Hanna Was very negative from the beginning of my moms medical stay . She was pushing my dad to stop medical care even though that’s not what my mom wanted. I dnt understand what is wrong with her or any doctor who wants to stop care for a patient when the patient wants medical care and there are medical care and treatments available to help her . It’s mean and cruel and not what the patient wants and the family told her so and It’s not the doctors decision to make. Some Doctors need to get off their high horses and Get a clue it’s the patients choice. Not theirs and a doc like her should have more respect for her patient, my mother. How dare she

Dr. Hanna is an excellent physician with a friendly personality. She is honest and completely focused on the progression of her patients wellness and health. Her guidance and advice is elite and accurate. She is the best Cardiologist on the East Coast of America.
