John Kuemmerle's Online Review Report Card

I held high hopes for this visit, thinking that the department head of gastroenterology at a teaching hospital would reveal greater options for a colonoscopy for those of us intolerant of the prep. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Dr Kuemmerle was not at all empathetic and was rude and dismissive. The visit totally disillusioned me with regard to an institution for which I’ve always had tremendous respect. He does not put a positive face on the VCU Health system.

Dr. kuemmerle doesn t care about his patients no matter what your health condiiton is he will not care to see you. he is very far away form being humble or compassionate. His office staff controls him and dictates to him how he will poorly treat his patients. His office staff are very rude . I will definitely not recommend him to see any one

This review is for the staff responsible for helping patients with prescriptions. They are very impolite, extremely rude and incompetent. Horrible experience.

I am sure that Dr. Kuemmerle is a decent researcher and author, but he should no longer be seeing patients. I was in dire shape by the time I was able to get an appointment with him, but he made no effort to expedite the tests that I needed. What was worse was that he never even read the tests after they had been completed. Fortunately a doctor performing my last test immediately called a surgeon and I was able to get help three days later. Kuemmerle does not care about patients at all.

While I am sure that Dr. Kuemmerle is a proficient researcher and author, he should no longer be seeing patients. I was in dire shape by the time I was able to get an appointment with him, but he did nothing to comfort me or expedite tests needed for diagnosis. What was worse was that he never even read the tests after they had been completed. Fortunately the doctor who performed my last test (upper endoscopy) was appalled at my condition and immediately called a surgeon while I was in recovery. I saw the surgeon the next day and was in for surgery two days after that. Dr. Kuemmerle didnt even show up for the appointment I had scheduled with him and never followed up after my surgery. Very, very poor doctor.

Would not treat me! Said I am abanding my previous Dr who was not treating correctly for my Crohns. He was verbally abusive each. Even had my husband present the first visit in having to put this jerk in his place.
