Don't be fooled by the pretty office. Jonathann Kuo M.D of Hudson Medical simply does not care about you.

No means no, unless you're a patient of Dr Jonathann Kuo.

I had an abusive and predatory mental health experience with this doctor at Hudson Medical. Women's mental healthcare often gets overlooked. We are stereotyped and marginalized. This is my experience with one such doctor. His only job was to take care of me. Instead, he chose to use my health crisis to line his own pockets.

Read about his lack of medical ethics here, in the NY Post.

This is my encapsulation of my experience as a patient of Hudson Health in New York City. I went to Hudson Health because of their affiliation with The Stella Center. A Chicago-based medical institution which explores the newest procedures in mental health treatment. I was optimistic. Then I met Dr. Jonathann Kuo.

 

Make no mistake: Dr Jonathann Kuo is a god-complex driven ego maniac. He's one of those doctors who thinks he's better than you. He and his staff harassed me and tried to manipulate me with compensation to provide on-camera testimonials for marketing materials for their practice. This is completely illegal.

I said no.

Allow me to describe the tipping point. When I was in their waiting room, about to have life-saving interventional medicine. Dr Kuo strolled in with his phone out, recording me without my permission, shoving it in my face and asking me to talk about how great he is right before my procedure. He was constantly recording me. Not asking me how I am but taking my illness and using for his own personal benefit. Not once did he ask me how I was feeling or what I needed. He took my illness and made it all about him. His only job is to take care of me. He failed to do this magnificently.

It was an act of medical hubris I can't even wrap my head around.

He demanded again, mansplaining to me how important this is for his business. I repeated my no. Then again. Then again, Then again. No, no, no. It was as if my no was not good enough for him. Or, like a the predator he is, he is he thought that my no meant yes.

Then, he asked again when I was on the table, right before he was about to put a needle in my neck, trying to bully me into submission. I kept saying no. It felt like mental rape. It was horrible, but i needed the treatment. I was unwell; drugged and vulnerable.

No woman should ever have to say no to a man more than once. I wondered if they would have gone after me so hard if I were a man.

Apparently, I'm not alone in my real life experience of him.

Jonathann Kuo M.D.'s glowing reviews, in my opinion, are coerced out of people who aren't at their best. Perhaps they are taken in by the pretty office. Moreover, they are likely from those who are manipulated by a sociopath into giving him what he wants in exchange for a stupid gift card to their "wellness clinic", I know this because this is something I was offered. They also text you regularly and remind you to review them. Even when you opt out it does not stop. Read attached review above.

Lastly, after my procedure, I was checked on by a tech, not a doctor or even a PA, but by someone with no proper medical education. I don't know why someone who isn't even qualified to take your blood pressure is determining if I am responding well to treatment. This place is a joke. Hudson Medical has taken the sacred art of medicine and turned it into a faux-luxury shopping experience.Hopefully, he will lose his license soon over this insane behavior like this doctor, Katherine Roxanne Grawe, no longer an M.D..
