Caitlyn Mooney MD

I would not recommend this doctor to anyone.

Provider kept me waiting & seemed non-concerned about my issue. Seemed kind of rushed to get to next patient or to-do item.

Dr Mooney was beyond thorough and even looking at exterior issues that could impact my health and my knee

Good

Doctor seemed to be in hurry; her analysis was superficial, and the conclusion led me to more pain. I had to go to other doctors

The doctor came in for less than 2 minutes. Said yeah your good it will heal on its own no surgery needed. Asked if he played sports and then said to wait 6-8 weeks before returning to sports. She was very short and didn't seem to have any empathy for his injury and said that he should be fine to just take Tylenol for the pain. He rated his pain with hydrocodone in his system as a 7. To me that means he is still going to be in extreme pain if he just takes Tylenol.

Good

When the doctor walked in the room, she looked me up and down and made a face of pure disgust, then continued to give me short answers and not really examine me making me feel like because I was a larger person. I was unworthy of her time then when I asked if there's anything I should avoid to avoid further injuring my knee, she looked at me and said well it's not like you're running sprints or anything.

I have been receiving care at Vanderbilt for over 20+ years and this is by far the worse experience I've ever had. We waited for over an hour to see Dr Mooney and she spent less than 10 minutes with my daughter. I was the one trying to provide important details, but Dr Mooney didn't seem to care. She merely made a quick assessment, prescribed an NSAID pain reliever, and said see you in 6 weeks! She also made my daughter leave in more pain than she arrived in. I understand Dr Mooney needed to maneuver my daughter's hip / leg as part of her assessment but she shouldn't leave in more pain and Dr Mooney didn't seem to even acknowledge that this could be occurring.
