Dr. Kathryn Dahir is a top notch doctor in my experience. Highly educated and extremely knowledgeable in regards to treating my disorders. Her bedside manner is bar-non! Her kind and caring attitude along with her vast knowledge make me recommend her to any family and friend or anyone in need of a fantastic endocrinologist. Thank you Dr. Kathryn Dahir

Worst endocrinologist ever. Avoid her. Appears to have limited knowledge of thyroid disease based on her performance with an obvious set of lab results. Perhaps she understands diabetes but I wouldn’t know that. Do yourself a favor and find another endocrinologist.

Dr. Kathryn McCrystal Dahir demonstrates a poor knowledge of osteoporosis and far less important comes across as condescending and pretentious in her bedside manner.

This doctor is just wonderful. She was attentive,, I feel like I have found someone that will figure out what is wrong with me. I have been to several doctors, and all they say is that i need to loose weight, which i agree, but there is something more than that wrong. and this lady is going to figure it out. I thank the Lord that I have been led to her. Anyone out there that has trouble with their doctor,or wants someone that listens to you, please give her a chance. I have only had one appointment with her, but I know she is going to figure it out.

Bedside manner was terrible. Very disappointed. After reading reviews I was hopeful Dr. Dahir would take time to listen and resolve my issues. She rushed through my appointment, was terrible at following up after the visit, and basically dismissive.
