John L. Kane's Online Review Report Card

My son came down with covid and when he called to see if he had covid, they just told him go to ER. He went to a walk in clinic and dxed covid and was told to contact his doctor. His doctor office would say “go to ER”. He got worse and called the office and was told go to ER, he then had pneumonia. They will not give advice or even see their patients with covid or help in anyway.

Absolutely horrendous person. Essentially told me I was lying about my inability to wear a mask. I’ve been a patient with that clinic longer than every single one of the providers, including Kane. I have never had any kind of issues or complaints. Since the pandemic began and Vanderbilt began requiring masks, I’ve been seen in this clinic 3 times with no issues. The first time, the provider saw I was starting to hyperventilate and told me to just hold the mask away from my face. The second time, I held the mask away from my face in the waiting room but took it off after being brought back. The third time, I didn’t even have a mask on. THIS time it was a problem though. Dr. Kane denied me medical care for what he called “a sore shoulder.” What he doesn’t know because he never spoke to me is that I’m unable to even hold a gallon of milk, I need assistance getting dressed, I wake up every hour or so because of the pain and it’s been going on for two months. It’s more than just a “sore shoulder.” I don’t go to the doctor until pain is almost unbearable, until then I tough it out. If I were ABLE to wear a mask, why would I not just put one on to make life easier? If I could wear a mask, why wouldn’t I have gone snorkeling in Hawaii with the rest of my family? Sitting on the beach wasn’t very exciting. If I could wear a mask, why didn’t I become a blue angel as was my life dream? If I was the “only one” who couldn’t wear a mask as Kane claims, why is the internet full of stories, including professional stories, of people unable to wear them? He’s just a horrible person.

The Doctor is great. Problem is trying to contact his office . Recorder with old message on it. Slow to respond back.

After moving to TN finding a doctor was very important. Dr. Kane has been the best doctor I’ve had. He is very thorough and explains things well. Doesn’t over medicate. I believe ‘‘tis is important. He has called me at home just to check on me. I have full confidence in him and his caring staff.

Went to Dr. Kane to see if he could help me with a condition called Primary Lymphedema which is hard to treat. People with this, gain a lot of weight from lymphatic fluid, not fat. It can't be dieted away, can't be exercised away & there's no cure. He was rude, disrespectful, uncompassionate, & just downright mean. He blamed me for my Lymphedema saying if I'd lose weight, my Lymphedema will go away. If he knew about Lymphedema, he'd know that's not true. He asked me if I had ever watched the show, "My 600 pound life" & said most everything that's wrong with me is my fault because I'm fat! I was 115 pounds until I got sick. He even cursed at me when I told him that my symptoms started with my first pregnancy saying "that don't mean s**t!" . By the time he left the room, I'm crying & we left. My mom & boyfriend were with me. I've never been so insulted & embarrassed by a doctor. I'm not saying that I don't need to lose weight, but the condition I have had greatly contributed to my weight along with the list of my other ailments. I'm not stupid! This condition is life changing (to the worse) & I am trying to find a doctor who knows more about it than I do. In constant pain, anxiety & depression, having a doctor treat me like this, harms instead of help.
