Dr. Kathryn Anne Fogarty, MD

Mean. Spiteful. Vindictive. This doctor is burnt out, and by her own admission, overwhelmed by her workload and "the fires that she had to put out." Her personal bias gets in the way of providing effective medical treatment. If you have the misfortune to be randomly assigned to Dr. Fogarty, I strongly recommend you ask for another physician. Kaiser Sunset has some excellent medical providers- Dr. Fogarty is not one of them.

She will come into the room yelling in front of the patient saying that there is no hope and she doesn't think he/she is going to get any better. She asks you if you want palliative care for you parent. She unhooks the patient from all IV and feeding tubes and tells you to take the patient home since there can't be anything done. She won't even acknowledge the patient in the room. I don't know how she can still be practicing. We are reporting her to the California board of physicians.
