Mary E Kussman

Dr. Kussman canceled my surgery, on the day of surgery. Due to covid, there had been a longer than usual time between visits with my cardiologist. However, other procedures had been done. There were no concerns reported. So I had all my records sent immediately to her office. She refused to view them. She then proceeded to call me obese multiple times (like I didn't already know). Began listing all the tests that she would need to be done before she would approve the surgery such as a stress test, sleep apnea, etc. Mind you neither my cardiologist nor GP felt was necessary to state I was in the best health by far and she was out of line. The procedure was rescheduled 3 mos later. She had asked to speak to me, the day of surgery after I requested a different dr. When I arrived, her name was on my board, no apology was given, no discussion, my stress level was thru the roof. She told me the details of her part of the procedure and left the room. so much for accountability or pt choice.
