Dr Kozney is one of the few doctors I’ve seen that listens attentively and shows compassion. He doesn’t rush your visit either. I would highly recommend him.

This review pertains mostly to Dr. Kozenys staff. There are multiple receptionists that are by far the most rude and condescending people I have ever interacted with. When I have called in medicine I have been put on hold for atleast 7 minutes, all the while hoping someone moderately pleasant picks up the phone. When someone finally answers, the receptionist sounds bothered and disgruntled. They have also called in the wrong type of medication atleast twice, forcing me to dread another call back to have them correct it.The front desk attitude has provoked me to switch doctors. Its a shame that such terrible attitudes can force you to switch medical providers (especially since we all know what a hassle that can be). Hopefully they can hire people who are more compassionate, or at the very least, semi-nice.

Unfortunately, my PCM of 15 yrs retired this year and I chose Dr Kozeny as my new doctor. One of the worst mistakes I could have made. With few exceptions, he has a very rude if not inept staff. He spends less than five minutes with you when you see him to diagnose or take care of your issues. I’m at high risk for Diabetes and go to great lengths to keep fit to avoid it’s onset and at my first physical, he prescribed a statin drug for me that I didn’t know had risk of causing Diabetes. I wondered what was happening when I started to gain weight, only to find out the risk statins carry for someone like me. I had to fight hard to get the weight off, but I did. My dilemma came to a head when I had to re-visit my old orthopedic surgeon due to excruciating right leg pain recently. As my surgeon and his staff have been diligently working to get to the bottom of what is causing my pain, I have to rely on Dr Kozeny as my primary care doctor to prescribe pain medication, because my surgeon is not allowed unless he has operated on me recently. Dr Kozeny is the most unwilling doctor to prescribe pain medication assuming that they will be abused. Because of this, within nine days to obtain pain relief, I’ve had to visit the emergency room four times. They know me by name now and it’s a bit humiliating, but that is for another day. I’m sure they think I’m opioid shopping, which I also believe Dr Kozeny may think. I was given a prescription pain medication at the ER to last me two days which I have stretched into 3 1/2 dreading having to go to Dr Kozeny to ask for a longer-term prescription until my surgeon and his staff get to the bottom of what is causing my leg pain. I have been between a 7 to 10 pain level for nine days, my knee is weak and collapses occasionally and Dr Kozeny flatly refused to prescribe me any pain meds to get me through the weekend. I called his receptionist today, November 2, during business hours, to resolve this issue before the weekend but this issue was not resolved because the receptionist never got back to me with any decision from Dr. Kozeny. So I was forced to call him after hours and he flatly refused my request stating “there has to be a different way to take care of this long term,“ not giving me one solution except ibuprofen and Tylenol which I have taken repeatedly. It’s only been nine days. That is not long term in my opinion. Finally, my husband called very upset with the situation and spoke with him and was accused of “calling me on a Friday night to get your wife some pain pills.“ This is the level of compassion this man shows to me and to God knows how many other of his patients. I dread dealing with both him and his staff and will be finding another PCM as soon as possible. Stay away from Dr Kozeny and his medical group called Chesterfield Internal Medicine and Rheumatology if you can. In my time dealing with this practice, I have been completely unsatisfied and rudely dismissed and treated. They treat me like an addict who doctor shops. I couldn’t feel more humiliated.

Front desk sits there while doing nothing. Making you wait forever for help.
