Carolyn Morris Jachna's Online Review Report Card

Dismissive and unconcerned

I was very impressed and thrilled with the fact she put me at ease and assured me things were not as bad as I would believe. She took the steps needed to get me on the path to better bone health and over all good health. So thankful for her and her staff

One of my best doctors.

Waited forever then felt rushed the entire time and like I was just another patient on her list for the day. Didn't address all of my concerns because she was in such a hurry, nor did she act the least bit concerned. After complaining of stomach pain in my initial visit, I wound up with appendicitis and emergency surgery a few months later. Will never see her again.

I have been seeing Dr Jachna for almost 15 years, and from day one I have put my health in her hands. I have always been 100% honest with her and she has always been straight forward with me. Her staff is friendly and her bedside manner is perfect. When I don't have the right words to describe that awkward issue, she knows exactly what I'm trying to say and just says it so as to remove stigma. Having found her so early in her practice, I feel like we have "grown up" together as patient/doctor.

I recently had the pleasure of being referred to Dr. Jachna in Dec. 2016. I came to her with a very un- usual case and I'm so thankful I am in her care. She took off running the minute I had my first visit with scheduling tests and procedures to ensure I would get the best treatment for my condition. Because of my case, she has been consistent with and never failing to call and keep me informed of every next step and this was even taking my condition before a conference recently.

Dr. Jachna is an amazing MD. She is very passionate about the treatment and care of our family and we wouldn't think of going to anyone else. She is extremely smart and is an excellent provider!!

I have nothing good to say about this doctor. I put my trust in her, and she harmed me. Absolutely missed the correct diagnosis for my condition, and prescribed medication that caused irrecoverable damage to my health. The effect on my family, my young children, has been devastating. Words that come to mind when I look back on my appointments with her: careless, unaware, thoroughly unthorough, not at all knowledgeable about medications she prescribes, insufficient drive, insufficient dedication, and insufficient intelligence. I was referred to her by another doctor who called her a serious doctor. In retrospect, maybe I misunderstood the other doctor, and maybe what he really said was "she's seriously bad". The things I remember most: her dismissing my concerns when they turned out to be the things pointing to the core medical issues, and her getting irrate when I pointed out gaps in her arguments/diagnoses. Things just did not add up; the facts did not fit her arguments. When I politely pointed this out she became angry. I brushed it off as the result of a hard day (I recognize doctoring can be trying) but as it turned out, I was right, and her inattention to the matter is what led to me being harmed. The other very memorable thing that I wish I recognized it for what it really meant at the time was how she seemed to think 5 minutes of her time was adequate effort. I kind of felt like she was a "part time doctor". That is, not all in when it comes to caring for patients. Not willing to go the necessary distance. I had the distinct feeling that she rushed to a diagnosis out of convenience to herself. I thought to myself, "How could she come to this conclusion when I feel she barely has a grasp of the facts". It turns out my feeling was right: she did not have a grasp of the facts, she is not the kind of doctor who will put in the necessary effort. She'll do what is easy, but beyond that, forget it. I have since learned that having such a feeling is a clear sign thay you should get the heck out and find another doctor. Wish I knew that before she harmed me.

the office is great. Her nurse is very unfriendly and terse.

She is very thorough, compassionate, and spends time listening to and explains how to proceed.
