Karoline S Puder, MD

She wasn’t really positive. She was looking at my charts and making judgements instead of listening to me. She was questioning me as though I was not being honest.

The providers negative and abrasive approach is not a good fit for me. She is experienced and knowledgeable but her appointment left me feeling scared and confused which is the opposite of what I need from a provider. She left me feeling that the worst is absolutely going to happen and there's nothing anyone can do about it. She told me to get in the mindset that the worst is going to happen which I think is counterproductive to any condition much less high bp in pregnancy. I understand preparing for everything and usually that makes me feel better but I don't agree with believing the worst is sure to happen. I appreciate her time and the information I received but overall she is not a good fit for me.

While Dr. Puder may be very knowledgeable, her bedside manner is very cold and she comes across as very passive aggressive, uninterested, and I just felt like another number. I hope this level of care is not reflective of the overall culture of this group.
