| - I want to be clear right off the bat: This is a review about a single doctor, Dr. Tal Minuskin, not the entire KPP office.
My wife had just delivered our daughter the night before at Centennial Hospital. We were both exhausted after being up most of the night watching her closely. She was delivered very quickly and still had a lot of fluid in her lungs making it difficult for her to breathe during the night. Needless to say, the next morning we were all tired and quite fragile.
Dr. Minuskin burst in the room, obviously in a hurry, and came over to where my daughter was lying swaddled up and sleeping. He then aggressively unwrapped the blanket from around my not even 12-hour-old baby girl and jossled her around like a rag-doll, pushing on her stomach to the point where she purged the breastmilk we had finally gotten her to eat. He lifted her up without bracing her head and neck, then set her back down and undid her diaper to finish the uncomfortable inspection.
He said she looked fine and asked if we had decided on a pediatrician yet. Irritated and somewhat in shock, we said that we were still deciding between a couple of different ones, so he handed a business card to my wife and ran out of the room. The whole ordeal lasted about 2 minutes.
I can understand if you're in a hurry as a busy doctor, but I strongly believe that patient care, especially of a newborn, must be a priority. We all would have appreciated him taking an extra 3 minutes to slow down and cause less harm.
I would not recommend him to anyone I cared about.
