Dr. Kathleen Kornafel, MD

After reading the reviews, I will say Dr K is very direct. Her bedside manner is militant but I honestly love it. U really gotta like the directness and no Bull sh** approach. She also doesn’t give up figuring out what’s wrong too. She diagnosed a hernia I had when no one else cared to think about it. She does care. A lot. I like the odd bedside manner, but I get how some would not like it. She’s just different- but kinda badass.

She’s through and very personable. She is direct but do we really wants smoke and mirrors at the gyno? She explained every procedure and made me feel comfortable and informed about course of treatment.

Dr. Kornafel is extremely bright and up-to-date on her medical knowledge. She is very articulate and took the time to explain the relevant physiology so that I fully understood my results.

Dr Kornafel is EXTREMELY condescending. I've been seeing her 6+ years. Every time I see her she has an attitude and talks down to me. On top of her poor bedside manner, it's pretty difficult to get a hold of the staff. I'm done going here.

I was a patient of Dr. Kathleen Kornafel because I had a yeast infection. She did a lab test, then prescribed an anti-fungal pill (Fluconzole). The pill did not work, so I went back for another visit. She did another test and said she would call me. She left me a voicemail and said that she found out what the problem was. She asked if I had any allergies. I returned her call and told her that I was allergic to penicillin. She said that's ok, she would prescribe me something else that will

Dr kornafel has been by OB for 20 yrs. Because she is so thourough and keeps amazing detailed records of each visit, she was able spot a pinhead size Mole on my pubic area and biopsied it without hesitation. It ended up being squamous cell skin cancer and I was able to schedule MOHS surgery at UCLA to take care of it. This discovery occurred only months after having my baby which means my maternity doctor never noticed it all those visits. I owe my life to dr kornafel for her keen eye!

This is the worse Doctor one can go to. The worse bedside manner. Staff rarely pick up their phones. Also, Messages are never returned. I would not recommend this doctor to anyone!

I?m from Florida & was very spoiled with an amazing OBGYN so finding someone to fill her shoes was no small task. However, after meeting with Dr. Kornafel for a very serious issue, she knew exactly what I needed & immediately scheduled me for surgery in less than a week. I love her demeanor & very much appreciate all the time she spent with me. She is extremely thorough which gave me peace of mind. Her staff was patient, attentive & kind & I?m so thankful that I found her.
