Dr. Malana Karmel Kuiper, MD

I have 3 boys and they have each had wonderful care from Dr. Kuiper. We are sad to see her leaving Salina. I highly recommend her. Never had any problems!

Her real name is Malani. Short version: She pulled back my son's foreskin. I told her not to do that. She said she is "supposed to expose the glans". I later wrote her an email asking for a link to this recommendation. She responded saying that she did not retract him but instead "checked the preputial opening". She said that is what the AAP recommends, and I couldn't find it anywhere so I replied & asked her to email it to me and she never responded. If any tearing or damage occurs while pulling baby foreskin back it is considered a malpractice. It is not to be done at all and I found a pediatrician who says that. Also my son had a reaction to his 2 mo vaccines... instead of delaying his 4 month as I asked her nurse said we should go ahead and give them anyway- they do not delay there. My son is still having occasional seizures. He has a pediatrician now who is willing to delay vaccines for a while.
