Kaare E Tingelstad

I was in the ER for a shoulder injury after a nasty fall. He gave me a total of two minutes of his time and acted indifferent towards me. Working in the medical field myself, I believe he did not hit the mark of quality patient care.

He saw my mother, who ended up almost dying from what turned out to be West Nile encephalitis. He didn't listen to us at all. Sent us home even though she had lost movement in one leg. It's been 9.5 months and she's still in a wheelchair. This man is dangerously inept.

Went in to the er after a few days of having what I thought was the flu but after my left side turned bright red and swollen and I was passing blood I knew it wasn't the flu. I explained in detail what was going on and his response was 'well you look fine. Go home and wait a couple of days to see if it worsens.' He wouldn't listen to me and at one point walked out as I was saying something and when he came back in he was like 'okay let me stick my finger up your butt and see how much blood is there' he was very rude and inconsiderate the entire time I saw him. I told him that was never going to happen and another doctor took over. After this poor excuse of a doctor told me to 'wait it out' because ct scans are ' too much radiation for what i was being over dramatic about' because since my blood tests came back normal he said I was fine. Turns out I wouldn't have lived another week without medication as my colon was 3 times the size of what it should be and I had a severe listeria or salmonella.

He is horrible. I seen him in the ER and he wouldn't even listen to me.

This individual cannot be trusted. He made up a story to try and get me on trouble with the authorities. The authorities sided with me after a thorough investigation as they could find absolutely NO basis for Dr. Tingelsad's claims.

Great, very personable.
