Dr. Kimberly Nicole Crittenden, MD

Please don't see her. She has a horrible bed-side manner. She does not care about patients concerns or how you are feeling. She is late to appointments and does not apologize or provide an explanation as to why she's late. I once waited over an hour past my appointment time that was at 9 am. When she arrived, she admitted that she was late but offered no apology or a reason why. In the same appointment, she also mentioned that she did not read my chart. If she would have bothered to have read my chart, she would have known what I was coming in for. She always seemed she was in a hurry to rush out of the room. She didn't even sit down on a chair, as the majority of doctors do. She stood up the entire duration of my visits! She didn't even stay in the room for five minutes! At another appointment, I waited nearly two hours to be seen in a stuffy examination room. Once again, no offer from her or the staff to reschedule, or an explanation or an apology for being late. She also has a… tendency not to check up on patients when they are in the hospital. While I was at an appointment, I overheard her talking to the nurses about two patients that had recently left her care because she didn't show up to deliver their child or check up on them at the hospital. She conducts unnecessary labwork to line her pockets. She jumped to the conclusion that I had an STD after I had come in regarding discomfort and a possible yeast infection a week earlier. I went back a week later because I was still having discomfort. She said it could be herpes. She said that she saw a small lesion. I told her that I was never sexually active. Apparently, she didn't believe me because she kept asking questions regarding sexual contact, as a way to justify her conclusion that I had herpes and that I was lying about not being sexually active, even after she was made aware numerous times that I had never had ANY type of sexual contact. Then she stated that I could have given myself herpes by inadvertently touching myself down there after I had touched my mouth (I don't have cold sores, so not a possibility). She requested a test for herpes anyway despite what I told her and said I would not have anything to worry about if it's negative (I never had anything to worry about, to begin with since I have never been active). Even after I mentioned to her that medication for the yeast infection worked as far as stopping the itching, just not the burning/pain. She said all the tests (for yeast, BV, and trich) came back negative. I asked if it was possible for test results for a yeast infection to be a false negative. She completely ignored the question. She ran a full STD panel, along with the HSV. Additionally, she then prescribed prescriptions for HSV. The results for the STD and HSV panels... surprise, surprise! All came back negative. Never received any correspondence in regards to looking further why I had the discomfort. I had to go to another practice to get the assistance that I should have gotten from her from the get-go! She has biased reviews on Facebook. In previous years on her Facebook page for patients, she had reviews ranging from one to five stars. There was one from a patient that had been under her care for eight years who said she was leaving due to the lack of care she received from Crittenden; a one-star review that has mysteriously disappeared along with the rest of the reviews under four stars. Now all of a sudden, she has a 4.9 rating. When she was with Central Women's, she also had a review from someone who is clearly a relative of hers on the CW Facebook page (check it out, it's still there).

The wait time for every visit is over an hour

Wish I could give zero stars. Had the appointment booked, even confirmed over an email, when they called on the day of 30 mins before my appointment to cancel on me. I explained that it was an emergency and since it was a Monday, I had been waiting all weekend on this appointment. It was already four in the afternoon so no other doctor could take me so last minute, I had already left work early for my confirmed appointment, and because I live out of town, was already on the way and twenty mins away from home. I explained all of this to them, and all I could get was “sorry about that, we’re busy”. And that was after being left on hold for 15 mins.

Her staff in Women center down town were rude. They are unwilling to help you through your situation.

Worst doctor ever!! She was always late to the appointment And would rush me out. She never showed interest in the pregnancy or ask me how I was doing..I was always waiting anywhere from 30min to an hour and a half just to be in the actual room for only 5 min!! She once took an hour to call me back then when I finally got into the room she had me wait another 30 min and I could hear her talking to her staff about how her lingerie doesn't fit her anymore then go into a personal phone call!!! That really did it for me. She is the most unprofessional ob

my experience with Dr crittenden was horrible each time i went back to see her. she has terrible bed side manners. she didnt seemed to be concerned of any of my issues and would rush to leave the room. when i would have to get any test done or lab work she would call me about a week to two weeks later to let me know of the results, which i had already found out by the physician that i work for. one night she called me to let me know results of lab work i had done about a week ago and she asked if i was going to go back in to see her for a follow up appt and i had told her no i had cancelled all upcoming appt and that i was going to see another obgyn, she said why is that, my response was because she simple did nothing for me, you gave me no answers and she said "well what were your questions". thinking to myself i wanted to call her every name in the book but i'm better than than. she said ok well then if you cant get your answers at the other place than you are free to come back and… she hung up on me..so today i went to see my new ob doc and i absolutely loved him..And will never ever go back to her again.. her staff also sucks they have no knowledge of whats going on....

I personally would NOT recommend Dr.Crittenden to anyone. She doesnt seem to care much of her patients and thoer concerns..It alson seemed like she was in just a hurry to get out of the room and didnt want to hear your problems. Her staff wasnt much of a big help either..

I had Dr .crittenden as my doctor twice she was amazing she treated me well she cared for me and made me feel as if I was her only patient she never rushed and if she did it was because she had to deliver someone's baby. I am now on birth control for two years now and plan on calling her to remove my our so I can plan baby #3 . I recommend her to my sister who had a beautiful daughter and I would recommend everyone to visit crittenden!!. God bless you Dr. And may you have many many more great years to come! :)

I've had Dr. Kimberly Crittenden as my doctor for years already she treated me well, and she left me from being infertile because of Ovarian cysts to fertile again. I recommend her to any of my friends. yea, people have there differences with her but honest to God she's a really good doctor. She will be delivering my first baby, and she's been doing good so far, :)

Let's see, where do I begin? I was in my first pregnancy and very excited. My husband and I had been trying to conceive for two years and finally our prayers were answered. I found dr. Crittenden online and decided to setup my first appointment with her. It went well, it was a typical first appointment. Throughout the months, we discovered that I had high blood pressure issues. I was sent to a perinatologist for weekly sonograms to make sure the baby was thriving in the womb. The last two months of pregnancy, my blood pressure was really high and my perinatologist sent mevto the hospital to deliver three times, but dr crittenden brushed it off and sent me home. Finally, on my last visit to the perinatologist, my blood pressure was so high, that he had to call and threaten to deliver my baby himself if they weren't going to do anything. Dr. Crittended reluctantly decided to induce me the next day. I was 37 weeks. I went in the night before, they used cervidil to get things going, and… then started pitocin the next morning. I went three hours with no epidural, but finally broke down and got one. At the nine hour mark, dr crittenden came in and checked my progress. She told me that I was only dilated to one cm ( which i found out later was a lie)and that I needed a c-section. I begged for a little more time, but she wasn't hearing it. I was wheeled back and cut open. My beautiful son was born. He was perfect and didn't have any problems. Well, not that night, but the next, I started experiencing the most horrific pain I've ever felt in my life. I cried hysterically into my pillow for hours. My husband tried calling the nurses, but all they knew how to do was treat me like a hypochondriac and offer Motrin. I apparently was some kind of burden to them. I finally fell asleep after every last drop of energy had left my body. I think I was in shock at this point. The next day, a nurse came in, I was still crying softly and shivering. She jabbed a needle into my leg and injected me with something. I asked what it was, and after some more questioning, I found out it was something they used in mental hospitals to calm down unruly patients. Dr. Crittenden finally decided to grace us with her presence later that morning. She came in and declared "what's the problem!" like it was some huge burden to her to come check on me. After I explained to her what I was feeling she said, "well, I guess we can do a scan if that will give you peace of mind." she then walked out. After waiting three hours for my scan and another two for the results, it was found out that I had an infectious fluid pocket under the left side of my incision and that it had swelled at such a rate, it was pulling my incision back apart from the inside. Needless to say, I was in the hospital for nine days trying to recover. I finally made it home with my family and aside from the trauma, I was grateful to have my precious gift and my husband next to me. Two years later, I moved to a different state, became pregnant again from the use of fertlity medicines and had a wonderful doctor. I had my files from Dr. Crittenden and that hospital sent to my dr to see if I could try for a vbac. As I was in the room watching my dr flip through some of the pages of my file, he suddenly asked, " why did they make you have a c-section?" I told him that Dr. Crittenden said I wasn't dilating fast enough. He said "four centimeters in 9 hours wasn't fast enough for her?" well, being that I was told that I had only dilated to one, I'm not sure....I was lied to, and because of that, I suffered horrific complications and I will never be able to have a natural birth. I had my c-section at 5pm. So I guess, Dr. Crittenden, (and please note the sarcasm), I'm glad you were able to make it home to your family that night in time for dinner and without the worry of having to come back up there to deliver my baby. I'm glad it was worth it for YOU to lie and to take away any hope I have for a normal natural child birth. You are the worst doctor and I can't believe you still have your medical license. You ate very lucky that it took me two years to figure out that you lied to me. The statute of limitations ran out for me to sue you. Just know, that I did have a case, and you lucked out barely by two months. You are an evil person. I delivered my second baby boy with my new doctor via c-section. After sharing my traumatic experience with him, he took such good care of me. I love my new doctor. He had compassion and experience and I couldn't have asked for a better angel to come into my life and deliver my baby. And guess what... I'm pregnant again, and this time, with the wonderful dr I have, I am actually at ease and EXCITED!!!
