Surinder Kohal's Online Review Report Card

Surinderis a horrible doctor. I got septic and his incompetence almost cost me my life. He misdiagnosed me and I had to find another doctor to treat me before it got worse. Don’t use this guy!

The doctor is personable, thorough, professional and very helpful and friendly.

This doctor was going to do an invasive toe surgery on me where he removed an ingrown toenail by cutting the side skin off. My Podiatrist removed the in grown toenail without cutting half the toe off. He is very hard to understand and was wrong with what to do with my ingrown nail. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND GOING TO HIM!!!!!!

Worse Dr. ever. Dont go to him. Doesn't know what he's doing. I went to other Doctors and actually found my problem. Waste of time!

Imcompetent, Irresponsible .

Doesn't even look at you before coming up with a diagnosis to get you out and move on to the next patient. Not willing to do proper tests or Xrays based on symptoms unless the patient "forces" him to. Then he lectures you about how much schooling he has had.

I had this doctor in ValleyCare Acute Care as the doctor on call. Thinking I may have broken my wrist, this seemed like a simple enough task to come in, be assessed and released. He came in and asked me about medications I was on (not what I was in the acute care about). I told him I wasn't looking for any medications, that I was there because I had hurt my wrist. Without looking at my wrist he declared it a sprain that would be splinted, told me to follow up with my GP in a few days and started to dismiss himself. I had to ask him numerous times about how he was sure it was a sprain and not a break without Xraying it...muchless looking at it. He finally looked at it, touched it very carefully in a few spots, not testing it's movement range, ability, or smoothness. I finally had to ask if I could "request" an Xray be done, for my own peace of mind. He agreed, but with a lecture about how I should "trust" my doctors because he has 12 years of education.... I guess he's never considered that other's might also have an education. That before they were a stay at home mother to a child, they likely had a career and schooling. That they might know a few things about the complicated structure of the wrist and it's sensitivity to damage that can have long term consequences if improperly treated or untreated. He left the room my husband and I were in and complained to the staff in the nursing station about me before ordering the Xray. He paid so much attention in my examination that he ordered the Xray for the wrong hand! The tech had to call and have him change it. He came in a short time after the Xray and reported he was correct, all was fine, it was just a sprain and his treatment would remain the same...a splint and follow up with my GP. I thanked him for "humoring me" but I have to admit that after his performance, I don't even think he looked at the Xrays...and if he did, if there were something wrong, I don't believe he'd admit to being wrong. So I will be taking those Xrays, checking them myself, and then getting a second opinion that I feel like I can trust on the matter.
