Dr. Kathryn Lynette Elmore, MD

Dr. Elmore is very proud and controlling to the point of being vindictive. When I was first transferred to Fresenius and I told her that I needed a specific profile for my dialyzer, her response was "I don't do profiles." That was the only explanation given, and Fresenius would not give me another nephrologist. In the process for getting me put on the transplant list, rather than looking at two hospitals at once for optimum proficiency, she said "I don't do that. I work one at a time" and instructed my social worker to do that. I later found out that it isn't even her place to decide that factor, and that her input was just her controlling nature. As I write this I am in the process of leaving Fresenius, and Dr. Elmore is a large part of the reason. I have been having complications finding a new clinic and I found out that part of that reason is that Fresnius told DaVita that I requested that Dr. Elmore be my nephrologist and I required that the clinic I get transferred be one in her network. I have a strong suspicion that if she was not a part of the Fresenius network and was not handed patience against their will, she would have no patients by their own free will. My advice is to avoid Dr. Elmore at all costs.
