Gregory E. Kobak

I would not recommend Dr. Kobak. We went to him with our son who had allergy problems and failure to thrive. Our interactions with Dr. Kobak were really difficult. He did not listen to our concerns, gave inaccurate information and would not respond to our correspondence. He had his Nurse contact us with a 4 word response. Our pediatrician understood our concerns so tried to talk to Dr. Kobak and again he would not respond to her. She was also dissatisfied with his level of care and disdain towards our concerns so organised for us to get a 2nd opinion at Rocky Mountain hospital for children who were wonderful and actually helped our son. Unfortunately, Dr Kobak’s attitude is a major obstacle and I would be concerned that this could lead to children remaining undiagnosed. Luckily, our pediatrician and ourselves did not allow that to happen to our son and got the help we needed but we had to go to a different hospital to do that. I would not recommend Dr. Kobak.

Besides the fact that he is condescending in how he speaks. He tried multiple times to push a nissen fundoplication on my child when she was getting a G tube. He never explained the risks or recovery. Nothing. She also had never been on a GERD medication and had no recent swallow study showing aspiration, yet he still kept pushing it. Medically, it would not have been necessary without proven chronic aspiration or without trying less invasive options first (such as medication). Nissen should be if GERD medication fails to help. Please be aware of this provider and that he will push you into a surgery without do diligence. I’m so relieved he’s on a hiatus and we now have a different GI because of this. He also canceled my daughters appt BEFORE his hiatus because he didn’t want to see her even though she was schedule two months prior. That decision of his was self serving and rude because it was around the holidays and we had to scramble to find a G tube follow up appt at the last minute despite having scheduled with him months prior. He did nothing but make our lives more difficult during an already difficult and vulnerable time. I hope he is on an indefinite hiatus.

He wasnt the right fit for my daughter. Great with kids but not a good bed side manner with parents. He doesnt like you questioning his brain on things. Is not open minded to testings and moving forward.

Absolutely disgusting person, it really scares me to know someone like this is allowed around children. Disgusted and sad.

Discounted us for YEARS. Condescending, disrespectful, then raised his voice at my disabled daughter. Now 3 years later, multiple surgeries, specialists and my daughters colon is completely non functional, had a big section removed, motility is so bad she needs a GJ tube. I would never recommend him.

Confused by the negative feedback. We actually switched from another GI doctor to Dr Kobak because he was so patient at explaining everything and more thorough. He picked up on things the other GI doctor didn’t. Very happy with his care.

I have never been treated so poorly as a parent trying to seek help for ongoing issues with our daughter like I was from him! Couldn't ask questions without getting snide comments back, and telling me "What do I know? I'm only the doctor!" Passed all the issues back to allergy that they sent us to the GI specialist for and now it's been almost three years of issues because no doctor will help us and LISTEN!!!!! This doc was a waste of time and money! No patient care that was warm and friendly!

Dr Kobak was wonderful with my son. He explained things we needed to know and was patient with what might have been a goofy questions. The only complaint I would have was his nurse was extremely rude. She treated us as if we were a bother for coming in. Didn't seem to have the time to listen to us and documented what we told her wrong. Even went as far as to roll her eyes and huff as she walked out the door. We were lucky to meet Dr. Kobak after that as he was kind.

Horrible doctor. If you child isn't deathly Ill he doesn't take you seriously. Rude during appointments.

Dr. Kobak is AMAZING! Unlike some of the other negative comments, he was friendly, thorough, and very positive! He made sure we understood everything, made eye contact with EACH of us, an explained ALL of our options. As someone currently unemployed and on Medicaid, he treated us WELL! His first goal - get our son HEALTHY and make sure we understand how to support him and be dedicated to what is expected! We are looking at insurances that he accepts in order to stay with him!

Dr. Kobak is a wonderful doctor! After visiting several different doctors for 3 years and not getting any answers to my daughter's condition, within 45 minutes of visiting with Dr. Kobak, he highly suspected Crohn's disease. Further testing proved him correct. Since then, he's been very patient in listening to our concerns and answering any questions. He's always been supportive and upbeat with my daughter. I've referred several friends to him and they have had equally wonderful experiences.

We went in to meet with him for a consult. The visit was brief. The diagnosis was as basic as it gets. Eat more fiber. Bill was over $600. I have called every number I could to confirm that the wrong code was not put on this bill. No one knows and no one can help me. Bill will be posted here if I can not get to the bottom of this over the next few weeks.

The entire experience from the point of being taken back to the exam room to being interviewed by the nurse, the assistant and then by the doctor was a very unwelcoming experience. There was virtually no eye contact with the parent or patient throughout the entire visit. The doctor was rude, condescending and impatient. The 1 minute exam of the 2-year old patient was marginal at best. Was this response because my daughter is on medicaid? I expected better from Children's Hospital.
