Nani Kanen's Online Review Report Card

Amazing, compassionate doctor who genuinely cares for her patients. Dr. Kanen and her physicians assistant Dr. Ann Strain literally saved my life with Soboxone treatment. Before coming to these doctors I did not think I would ever be able to stop abusing opiates, and now, 6 years later I have my life back. If you or a loved one is struggling with addiction and trying to find a doctor you can trust, I strongly suggest Dr. Kanens office.

The first time I visited Dr. Kanen, she was with me for approximately 7 minutes. She dismissed my concerns in a very brusque manner and I did not like her bedside manner. I really visited her because I was new to the state and needed a Primary Care Doctor to refer me to an Endocrinologist to get what I needed to manage my condition. Dr. Kanen ordered multiple tests for me that were unnecessary and she never followed up on any of them. I asked her to please give me a referral to an Endocrinologist due to my condition. She ignored my request and ask that I come back in a month for a followup. 3 months later I received a bill for $350 (after insurance) for that 7 minute initial visit where she prescribed the same medication and dose that my previous doctor from out of state had prescribed. She provided no info, no expertise, and I did not like how she ignored MY concerns as a patient. She feigns friendliness and like she knows her patients but I really wish I never ever met her. Her office at Lemi Medical Center is old, gross, and makes you feel ill while waiting there. The 2nd time I (stupidly) went for the followup visit, I waited for OVER an hour and then had a 3 minute visit with her. Waste of my time and money and I could NOT recommend her any more. Dont bother.

I saw Dr. Kanen for several years. I found her to be a caring, supportive, professional, and knowledgeable physician who keeps current on medical modalities. I enjoyed her positive attitude and her openness in also using alternative medicine where applicable. I only left her office due to moving out of state. I admit I miss her being my primary care physician and would go back if I was in the area again.

Dr. Kanen is absolutely horrible. My first clue was how dirty the office is. I dont think the rug has ever been cleaned, ever. The office staff, though very nice in person, never ever return phone calls. So they dont answer the phone, they ask that you leave a message and then never return the calls no matter how many times you call or how important the calls are. But Dr. Kanen is something else! Ive yet to meet her, but her PAs injected a drug into my elderly friend that is suppose to be injected every 6 months. They did it after 2 months! I contacted Dr. Kanen via Sutter Health email and explained my concern for potential harm in giving her too much of this injection. She answered with she would check with her staff and Ive not heard back from her and that was almost 2 months ago. I have sent her 2 emails since and Sutter Health has sent her a message to answer my question. Still no response. My elderly friend also had an infected toe. The assisted living facility where she lives faxed Dr. Kanen regarding the issue. I called to make an appointment and got the answering machine and of course no call back. I ended up taking my friend to an Urgent Care center where she was diagnosed with a very serious infection. Maybe this Dr. is good with addicts but as an internal medicine doctor I would stay clear from that office. Such a joke!

Where to start!! I cant tell you how greatful and blessed I am to be able to have Dr. Nani Kanen as my physician, this doctor puts her whole heart and soul into taking care of her patients, I have had the same doctor for 36 plus years, I met Dr Kanen through my daughter, and I knew I was missing out!! I switched doctors and very happy I did, coming to my appointments are always good, whatever is my concern, I know Dr. Kanen will do her very best to help me. I cannot say enough for all she does for her patients.

I had surgury involving a stragulated large vascular hernia plus another hernia discovered during surgury as well as built up scar tissue in my abdomen which was scraped and removed. I had only 2. 5 mg percoset a day prescrption which did absolutely nothing. If my boyfriend was not here to lift me off the bed and slowly sit me down on the tiolet,make meals disoense the med i did have because i couldnt move..i would have died ...so i went into dr kanan s office. Yesterday and she presribed something passing it off as an opiod..its synthetic ultrum which does nothing but make my head spun and cause constant nausea and doesnt target the pain also withdrawls were not considered. She was reminded by my boyfriend to call the pharmacy , when we got there she hadnt called and it was after hrs so the pharmacy had to fax them . they wouldnt answer pages...im so sick .still in. bed .I have distictly noticed Im treated very differently when my boyfriend isnt present. Im rushed in and out and dr is abrupt. When hes there shes conplimentary and talkative. Im so sad and traumatized by this exoerience .

I was wondering how she is still in business. I have never seen such a irresponsible Dr. And She and the staff were so toxic! I think she is bipolar and dangerous. What a disaster. Not to be trusted. I do not recommend her at all!

Dr.Nani kanen is an amazing doctor all around. Ive been under her care for more than 5 years & absolutely have been blessed tohave a wonderful care she provides, in a beautiful, warm, well set office, very nice staff & the most stunnung, the doctor, who is born to be A DOCTOR... Love Dr.Kanen & will recommend anyone without any reservations...
