Dr. Kurt Stephen Partoll, MD

No exceptions, the finest Doctor I have experienced. Very informed, extremely responsible, excellent beside manner, prompt follow up beyond the call of duty. I strongly recommend his talents and the staff that serves him well. You want to be able to count on your Doctor, this is your man and team.

One of the very best Doctors at North Memorial Medical Center. He came highly recommended.

Dr. Partoll is awesome! I have seen him for over 10 years my parents have seen him for 9. All of us have found him professional, attentive and always in touch with our health. He always follows up and goes beyond what would be required.

Completely incompetent as an Internest or regular GP. Completely dropped the care of our elderly mother. Told us to take her home and come back in a week. She was dehydrated, emaciated (85#'s) and of course her electrolytes were severly off in her body. We feel he thought she would pass during that week. We, meaning the three that were caring for her went and bought Children's Pedialyte and made her drink it to try to maintain some kind of eletrolyte balance. We pushed water, juices and Ensure (the extra calorie one each day.) We made all food and watched her nibble at it. An appointment was made to see Dr. Partoll a week later. He did not have the chart with him. The excuse being it was at his other office! He said to her "you look better than last week." She had also gained weight-we knew what she weighed in at the week before. His next advice was to come back in two months. Was this guy for real? We could have taken her to a veterinarian and he could have done a… better job. We said we need a diagnosis from you, her primary Dr. so that she can at least receive services that are needed. We are not the Dr., he is. He then ordered a CT scan from head to lower part of body. Two months later my Mother still has not received a written copy or diagnosis from the scan. He just plain wrote her off. We feel that the three of us did too much research on the problems that the elderly or dying go through and had too many questions for him that he apparently could not answer. It is inexcusable. Don't anyone see this so called Dr. for their own safety.

Didn't even have the chart available for reference during our second visit to him with our mother. The office isn't even using computers yet. Offered no advice or insight into caring for our elderly mother. Saw a shadow on the chest X-ray last week but offered no follow up plan. The office visit was a waste of time.
