Doesn't care about patient feelings

This doctor now works out of the Medical College of Wisconsin and Froedtert Hospital. She has no empathy for her patients and does not understand the concept of bed side manner. She takes diagnostic results out of context, discounting results that even her peers find important but she just uses them against you. I don't know why she chose to go into medicine, maybe to make people feel horrible? Find another medical center and definitely do not use Dr. Konersman if you need a neurologist in Wisco...

Dr. Konersman

I was treated as a person, not a patient or number. Excellent empathy and genuine concern. Very professional; gave me choices. Takes the time to get a full history as opposed to those who jump to conclusions and perscribe meds without knowing if they will do anything.
