He really listen to his patients and try to get to know the real person. He also makes you think about why you make the food choices you do.

Well...I never asked for a prescription refill from him, and he led with 'well, I don't know you and I don't feel comfortable prescribing your medications unless I see you in my office.'I never even asked for that. I was looking for guidance. I have a primary care provider that already fills my medication.He seemed happy that I told him it would be difficult to get to his office... Instead just sent me a bunch of psychologists, which are in the same area as him, and said it's not up to him to know whether they are covered or not with insurance. Really weird... I left that conversation feeling guilty/depressed for the medications I'm taking for weight loss for some reason, even though they are FDA approved meds that were delegated under medical professionals. Kind of made me feel like a failure because he kept saying they SHOULD work... Guess I'll try cdh and have to wait all over again.

He was well knowledgeable about the area of study we were talking about in terms of my health and wellness, but I wasn’t a fan of when conversations were shifted. For example, he noticed that two of my toes are crossed (something I was born with) and suggested the idea of getting the pinkie toe amputated since I wasn’t using it, which isn’t true as it still is a functioning toe and pointed that out to him. Also I was uncomfortable with talk about the hyperpigmentation on my skin as he isn’t my dermatologist and didn’t want to discuss it really with him when he asked about it when he noticed it. Other than that he was quite knowledgeable and very nice and somewhat helpful. But I think what I need in the future is to see a female doctor preferably a fellow Black woman who I can talk a bit more in depth about things and feel a bit more comfortable. Especially when it comes to something sensitive like my weight and body and how I’ve viewed it over the years.

Dr. Kushner is practical, straightforward, and easy to talk with. He doesn't push one treatment over and another and explains available options.
