Dr. Larry D Kobriger, MD

Very satisfied with the thorough and professional care received from this doctor and the staff at St. Joseph Emergency.

I seemed to be the only patient there. Was in extreme pain. Had the nurse put in a pic line, which was took 10 minutes and caused more pain. Was only given an antihistimine. The ER Doctor said my pain was all in my head, caused by anxiety. Gave me nothing for the extreme pain, or anxiety, and covered for the surgeon who injected directly into my nerve, setting off one of the most painful experiences ever. Because the DR could not see any injury, and covered for the other doctor, he told me in front of my family that I was not really in pain, and it was all in my head, and that I should run about 10 miles a day. I am in chronic pain, and was only seeking an MRI because something was terribly wrong. THIS DOCTOR has been disciplined before and should NOT be allowed to see people in pain, especially "invisible" pain. I do have herniated disks, arthritis and bone spurs, along with constant muscle spasms. Because he have a heroin/fentanyl crisis, people in pain are made to feel like junkies or criminals, when all they are seeking is to know what is wrong, and have someone help them fix it!
