Stephanie B Kaliner

STAY AWAY! Appointment with Dr. Stephane Kaliner for a yearly physical. During the physical Dr. Kaliner asked me general health related questions any person should expect during a routine physical. When I received the itemized bill, I noticed that not only was I charged for the physical, but also a separate medical visit. Nearly 600$ for an unimpressive 10 minute appointment. When I called Tower Health (billing) to question the charges (my employer covers physicals 100%) and my balance of 61$, I was told that because Dr. Kaliner ASKED me questions that she and her office believed not to be physical related questions, I was charged for the physical and an additional visit. During the conversation to dispute, I asked the representative from Tower Health billing “should I have ignored her questions?? Not answer?” I was told “YES”! As a patient, how/ why should I be responsible to know any of this? The difference of questions?! My appointment was on 1/10/22 I just learned yesterday 4/13/22 that my dispute was denied and I am responsible for the 61$. If I don’t pay, a Tower Health rep. told me bill will be sent to a 3rd party collection agency. When I asked to speak to someone at the location where disputes are decided, a supervisor told me there is no phone number and that my only option was to submit an email. If you’re reading this, FIND A DIFFERENT OPTION. “Dr.” Kaliner in my opinion was unimpressive. She and the staff at her office knowingly entered information into their system that would generate 2 separate charges. I believe we deserve better as patients. This is not only fraudulent, but an absolute disgrace. I will be contacting/ working with my employer, insurance company, etc. to resolve the situation. If you have read all of this, then you’re like me, someone who does their best to research decisions. Especially something as important like a doctor. Dr Kaliner, Tower Health, and all involved - shame on all of you for taking advantage of a patient in the community you serve

I’ve seen both Dr. Kaliner and Dr. Yeh and both visits have been excellent! Their nurse, Lauren is also particularly good. I’m extremely grateful to have found this practice, I highly recommend them.

Dr. Kaliner has been my primary for over 5 years and would highly recommend to anyone. Very good manners, explains everything very well. Always on top of things very good at preventing future issues. Best primary Dr. I have ever had. She's very thorough and very professional. Highest ratings !!!

I visited for Wellness Exam. Was able to promptly schedule a date. No wait time when I arrive. She is very professional and personable. Explains everything clearly. Answered all my questions. Have been using her for past 5-10 years and would highly recommend to new patients.

Thoroughly a great place, and open to fixing the ailments with other efficient curable needs.

Dr kaliner saw my son, myself and sees my husband and is incredible with all

Horrible staff, does not call back. Can not get medical records. It is a joke. Find another local office.

Dr Kaliner has a wonderful bedside manner and the thing I appreciate the most is that she takes the time EVERY time to really talk to you - she is very thorough. She is incredibly patient and understanding with my elderly mother too. But I can thank her for noticing I missed my annual mammogram on a visit for the flu! Thanks to her thoroughness, my cancer was caught at stage 1! I highly recommend her.

We moved here from Alabama in February of 2014 and my entire family has been using Dr. Kaliner as a PCP since then. She is GREAT! I never thought I'd find another doctor that was so thorough and concerned and showed real empathy.

Dr. Kaliner is very knowledgeable and has a warm "bedside" manner. Best doctor I've ever had.

Poor experience, after multiple visits I am very disappointed in how she chooses to run her practice. I will NOT be going back and will NOT be recommending her to friends an family.

I recently experienced the worst back and neck pain of my entire life. Was barely able to walk and even sitting was difficult. I tried several approaches to alleviate the discomfort and immobility prior to seeing Dr Kaliner. By then I was convinced that I'd be forced to seek remedy from an orthopedist or back surgeon. After one 45 min session, I improved dramatically and within 3 days was back to "normal". Dr K stated that one session should be sufficient to rectify my condition. She was right

I had moved to a different county and signed up with a local doctor - not knowing that this doctor was NOT accepting new patients, yet I had to get a PPD (tuberculosis) test done and so I called Dr. Kaliner's office, then my insurance company ... but little did I know, the strange sensations I felt in my face and my right eye were the beginning stages of Bell's Palsy. Since I had to come back two days later, the staff simply asked me to smile, which I was unable to do. They directed me to go immediately to the hospital ER, where I spent most of the rest of the day getting all sorts of tests done. I called Dr. Kaliner's office a week or so later & thanked them for allowing me to return as a patient & catching something that could have made a turn for the worse. I have now opted to continue with Dr. Kaliner as my PCP, despite the longer drive. She & her staff are well worth it - they're all very nice & certainly professional!
