Dr. Elizabeth Kaback, MD

Dr. Kaback has sub par bedside manners. She is arrogant and not open to suggestions or making my mom’s health a conversation. She has my mom on prescriptions she doesn’t need to be on. She has mis-dosed a supplement that 25 articles online (including Mayo Clinic) say to take 3 times a day at meals and yet she gives all 3 pills to her in the morning (zero articles online back up this strategy). She has completely ignored the fact that my mom has had chronic diarrhea for over a year and she calls it “normal.” She keeps trying to sell my mom packages of NAD IVs (at $1,000 per IV) and won’t listen when I tell her she hated getting them and I’d like her to be on a precursor instead. She claims she is already on an NAD precursor (glutathione is NOT an NAD precursor). I am deeply passionate about health and wellness. I constantly read and listen to podcasts to better inform myself, and yet she rolls her eyes at me and talks down to me because I didn’t go to med school. I have been highly diss

Very bright, knowledgable and sometimes caring and concerned but other times rude, condescending and chronically late.The last time I saw her, I waited an hour, could hear her in the halfway laughing and joking. I finally left; she called me later to say she’d had an emergency and that’s why she was late. She shared way too much personal info i.e. how her brother died, her dating life etc. Its a shame...I think she has a lot to offer but needs huge improvement with her interpersonal skills. Never went back.

I saw her at Shiley/Scripps on Torrey Pines and was put off by her condescending attitude and inability to keep her appointments. She was NEVER on time and I found it rude in its' consistency. She was thorough in explaining the lab results and she was very fluent on the lipid tests and the latest trends in that area.

I wish I would have read the review here before visiting Dr. Kaback. She lacks empathy; is chronically late; she is condescending; she doesn’t welcome any questions about your health, although she may ask is you do have a question, but the will abruptly cut you off mid-question; she lacks professionalism and isn’t even thorough, as she lacked a memory of why I even came to see her in the first place. I have the ultimate respect for doctors, but her arrogance and lack of kindness are horrible.

Dr. Elizabeth Kaback is not the doctor you want to see unless you want to feel horrible about yourself, belittled, yelled at and starred down as if you have no idea what you are talking about when you try to discuss your concerns. I wish I didn't even have to give her one start to write this review. I just want to encourage people to seek treatment from other doctors. There are plenty at Scripps that will consider your feelings. Just not HER.

Dr. Kaback is great! She is attentive to detail, easy to communicate with and makes you good about your plan to stay healthy. I am happy with her and her staff. I consider myself blessed to have Dr. Kaback as my doctor.

So sweet, kind and sincere, an angel on earth!
