Dr. Joseph Kannarkatt, MD

My wife had an appointment with Dr. Kannarkatt on February 16, 2023. She was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He assured us that he would see my wife when she came in for chemotherapy treatments. First treatment, didn’t see him. Matter of fact she got very sick after the first treatment and was admitted to the York, Hospital. Never saw him one time after the initial appointment. We had an appointment with his incompetent assistant, Dr. Wang about medical marijuna. She has the personality of a tree. Not one ounce of compassion or would answer our questions. My wife had her first chemotherapy treatment on 7, 2023. Two days later she was very sick and was admitted to the hospital on March 9, 2023. Very, very sick. Didn’t see Dr. Kannarkatt at all. Didn’t see an oncologist until March 12, 2023. The oncologist was Dr. Wang. She didn’t call us to have a family meeting to discuss my wife’s treatment issues. She just showed up in my wife’s room and told her there was nothing more they could do. I, her husband on speaker phone. My wife was very distraught and upset. Crying hysterically. I rushed to the York hospital to be with her. I asked to meet with Dr. Kannarkatt. Dr. Wang said he was in clinics all week and we couldn’t meet with him. She set up a meeting with us on Tuesday March 14, 2023 at 2:00 PM. We called Dr. Kannarkatt’s office and they said he was on vacation and the first available appointment with him was on March 28, 2023. We had to meet with the incompetent Dr. Wang. She first said my wife had 3 weeks to 3 months to live. My daughter pressed her on her prognosis on a side conversation and Dr. Wang then say my wife has “days to a week”. My wife was set up on palliative care and hospice. We took my wife home later that night and my wife died 2 days later on March 16, 2023 at 11:25AM. She lived one month after first seeing Dr. Kannarkatt. There is more I could write about this practice, however, I’m sure cancer patients will know they need to stay away from this practice. Fly high my sweet wife. 💔
