Dr. Krikor Israel Kalindjian, MD

An indifferent doctor who is hard to get in touch with and when one finally does reach him, he doesn't offer much information. Cold and unfriendly. His receptionist is very rude - actually started to yell at me on the phone when I had a few simple questions.

He been the primary care doctor for both my fiance and my self for years. My fiance doctor for 9 yrs, myself 71/2 yrs. We are grateful he been our doctor. He helped to save our life over the years being that he a good doctor. He has an excellent staff. There also human beings not perfect, but they have shown themselves to be caring people. If you have disagreements please take the time to give the doctor and his staff the opportunity to clear matters up. Cause there are misunderstandings that can be fixed given the opportunities to do so.

He a good doctor. He the.primary care doctor for both my fiance and myself. He treated and helped save my fiance life several times over the years. He been his doctor for 9 years and God willing and counting. He been my doctor for 71/2 years. He treated me and help Ed to save my life as well. We are very thankful and appreative of the care we`ve received from him and his good staff. There in our prayers,we hope the very best for them. He been a doctor for over 28 years and got a little bad reviews I say not bad. But we are grateful to have him as our doctor.

He a good doctor, he my fiancee and my primary doctor. My fiance's had him for 9 years. I've had him for 7 1/2 and counting. He has helped to save my fiance life several times as well as helped me in some in a couple of serious incidents in the hospital. We care deeply for this doctor and his staff there in our prayers.He been practicing for 28 years and counting so to have like 21 or so dislike is not bad. But our family appreciate him and his staff greatly only pray and hope the best for them.

I know others may or may not agree with what I am going to type. I personally don't care. But, he has been my P.M.D. for 9 years and counting. We didn't see eye to eye the first couple of meetings but through patience and understanding we worked on it together. I'm not one to easily give praises but when I do it comes from my heart. He's helped me through some difficult times and still does. He does care strongly for his Patients others might not see it because of whatever reason. I always appreciate his help and the staff he has at his office. I even have my Girlfriend in his care and she feels the same way I do. I had my experience with bad Doctors and he's not one of them. If, doesn't remember what is going on with you the first few times seeing you remember he's human too. I'm sure you might forget things you have gone through over the years so think about that before you judge him. If he's in and out of your room you are not his only person he has to see and I am sure you… hear him getting paged on the speaker. If you have questions for him while in your room ask him he will answer them if he knows what is going on. God knows I have asked him some things and still do if I have them. I thank him ALL THE TIME and for his help and time.

My mother was assigned to this doctor for her primary care. She has had sciatic pain for months, she went in with an MRI hoping that he would send her to a spinal specialist. Was told to wait 2 weeks, nothing came. Called again, his office told us that they had no paperwork and they had lost everything. Told us they would submit her to a specialist. Behold my mom is sent to get a mammogram when her pain is for sciatica. DO NOT GO HERE. THIS GARBAGE OF A DOCTOR DOES NOT DESERVE TO HAVE A JOB.

Dr Kalindijan rushes through his rounds like a tornado. Didn't even know my name or condition before walking in the hospital room (each day)! He continually gave orders that either contradicted or antagonized the orders of my surgeon. Was rushing to discharge me the same day of my surgery. I ended up being discharged by my surgeon on day 4. Dr Kalindijan is dangerous and reckless, be very very careful if you grt stuck with him. Avoid at all costs!

I have to agree with most of these not Happy posts about Dr. KK. I don't know how he's practicing. He spoke to be so unprofessionally, ranted about how much he gets paid a visit for people on state insurance & told me "You have to take what You get, if You don't like it pay for Your insurance." Which I understand. This is a temporary situation. I think people's time is worth $ for sure. I'm not a freeloader but things happen & I'm vigilant about changing it but I've never had a Dr. In my life & I'm in my early 60s talk to me the way he did. It's how he delivered his thoughts to me. He basically reprimanded me with a harsh tone in his voice. I later thought & wished I'd of said "You must be a Horrible Lover." I don't know how he is practicing. He has the Sensitivity & Compassion of a gnat. I don't know what oath he took when he became a Dr. but he definitely needs an awakening in what it means to be a "Good Dr."...

  How is this man allowed to practice medicine? I had a high regard for doctors until I crossed paths with this self absorbed egotistical man (not by choice). Unfortunately, my loved one was assigned to Krikor Kalindjian. His routine visit at bedside would entail no more than 5 minutes, while his visits to the ICU desk would be lengthier (given his hunger for attention from the opposite sex). As my loved one was fighting for their life, he could not spare minutes away from his "groupies" and/or "fans". But as shared by many of the females (mostly RN's and LVN's) around him, they merely humored him so that when necessary he would listen to their patients' concerns. Upon obtaining my relative's medical history, I decided to give Kalindjian suggestions (I am aware that I am not a doctor but I was desperate to help and did much reading). He was surprised to hear what I had to, but the true shock was reserved for me. Kalindjian was not as confident anymore, as his complete lack of… knowledge of "HIS" patient's condition (my loved one) was revealed. I was reduced to tears and feared for their life. Luckily another doctor took over and my relative is still around.

the most memoriable event of my visit with this doctor was having him send me to emergency room for lumbar puncture, the results game back high abnormal. His response: "see you in six months"!! I LEFT IN FEAR FOR MY LIFE!
