The billing admin, Jeff, diagnosed me with sociopathic narcissism after filing a grievance with the Attorney General. WTF?

I reported Jeff Jacoby at Medical Paradigm Solutions to the Attorney General's office. After reading so many negative experiences that other patients have had not only with Dr. Butt, but also with Dr. Gerdes due to improper billing by MPS, I felt it was necessary. I encourage others who have been improperly billed to do the same. Just to show you how rude and condescending Jeff is, I'm posting a picture of how he signed off his letter in response to the AG. Because I politely disputed his billing practices, I must suffer from sociopathic narcissism. Can you believe it? It's absolutely ridiculous and so unprofessional. Also to the new post that claims that someone has been posting these negative reviews multiple times, this is an update to the first review I've ever made for Dr. Butt. Just to be clear. I can't believe Dr. Butt still uses Jeff's services after all these years of complaints. It's unconscionable.

I had my baby in 2024 at 38 years old and experienced severe postpartum depression afterward. It…read morewas very dark, and I was not in the right state of mind. After about four months of struggling with PPD, I made the decision to pursue permanent birth control a decision I now deeply regret. I was told by Dr. Cheruba Prabakarthat my tubes could not be tied and that they had to be removed. During the consultation, she asked if I wanted more children. At the time, while clearly struggling emotionally, I said no. She stated that since I was 39, it was a good age for this procedure if I did not want more children. I understand that the decision was 100% mine, however the state of mind I was in was not capable of making a life-changing, irreversible decision. I strongly believe that when working with women -- especially postpartum women -- it is a physician's responsibility to recognize warning signs of postpartum depression and emotional distress and to implement safeguards in their practice. What I needed at that time was help and support for my PPD, not a permanent procedure that altered my body forever. Instead, the process felt quick and not thorough. There was no screening for postpartum depression, no encouragement to wait, and no discussion about how temporary emotional states can affect long-term decisions. Now, three years later, I am 42 years old and desperately want another child. Time is running out. I am now facing IVF, with no guarantee that my insurance will cover it since this is considered a decision I made for myself. My eggs are older, the odds are lower, and the emotional and financial burden is overwhelming. I wish there had been more caution, more counseling, and more time given before moving forward. I also hope that by sharing this experience, changes can be made so that another woman in a vulnerable postpartum state is not placed in this position. I am beyond sad and angry about my situation, I wish i could of tide my tubes and maybe reversal would of been an option now there is nothing absolutely nothing i can do. and time is running out.

I had the privilege of seeing Dr. Yu and Rhonda for about 11 years, and I was heartbroken to learn…read morethat Dr. Yu was no longer at CPMC (now at Kaiser). I recently tried to schedule my annual appointment, only to discover the news. I have never been so sad to lose a doctor. Dr. Yu was the first doctor I truly felt comfortable with, and her compassionate nature made all the difference in my care. She is an exceptional listener and has guided me through various life moments with expertise and kindness. I also want to express my heartfelt appreciation for Rhonda, who has always been incredibly kind, supportive, and patient with me. I will sincerely miss both of them and wish them nothing but the best. TLDR - Dr. Yu great! She is an exceptional doctor who made me feel comfortable and supported for over 11 years. She's a fantastic listener who guided me through life's ups and downs with care.

Simply, I cannot express how grateful I am for her care, she truly saved both my life and my daughter's life. I unfortunately had a serious complication where my placenta ruptured, and in that critical moment, Dr. You made the quick and life-saving decision to perform an emergency C-section on me. I can't even imagine the outcome if it weren't for her fast thinking and incredible professionalism. She got my daughter and me through that moment safely and I will forever be thankful. Even after the delivery, when my daughter sadly had to stay in the NICU for two weeks, Yu continuously checked in on us and offered her emotional support. As a first time mom, I was so naive but she guided me through every step with such kindness and patience. She didn't just care for me physically, but emotionally as well. I feel incredibly lucky to have had Dr. Yu by my side during such a vulnerable time. Her dedication, compassion, and genuine care are things I will never ever forget.

If I could leave negative stars, I would…read more I've endured A LOT of medical trauma and BS over the years, but the surgical consult I had with her is one that literally still haunts my dreams more than a decade later. At best, I can say that she's not a trauma-informed provider and seems to be a stereotypical surgeon with zero bedside manner and an ego the size of Canada. At worst, it seems like she may not actually care about her patients at all beyond seeing them as potential stats with which to bolster her career and her own self-image. My experience with her was truly loathsome and I don't wish one like it on any other patient. It took five more years of excruciating pain and going to another KP district, out of her sphere of influence, to get the care that I'd needed for 20 years at that point. To that surgeon, it was perfectly obvious that I needed surgical intervention. All was explained by the crap she later hauled out of me. It took a surgeon willing to be curious, to listen, and to believe what she was hearing. Eve Zaritsky did not have any of those in her at that consult nor in the communication that followed; she was nothing short of a cold, abrupt, impatient, gas-lighting troll. Far from being a healer, she did damage to me that day and later refused to take any responsibility for her words and actions. Suffice it to say, I'm not a fan.

I cannot recommend Dr. Badheka and her team highly enough! From the very first prenatal visit…read morethrough to the delivery of our baby, I felt completely supported, heard, and cared for. Although I wasn't able to have Dr. Badheka as my provider from the very start of my pregnancy, I am so glad I was able to switch to Sutter and her as soon as she began accepting patients again in my early second trimester. One thing I appreciated deeply was how she approached my pregnancy with thoughtful, individualized care. Being over 35, I was initially worried about being automatically labeled "high-risk," but Dr. Badheka never made my pregnancy feel unnecessarily medicalized or complicated because of my age. Instead, she guided me with evidence-based information and calm reassurance, helping me feel informed and confident every step of the way. Dr. Badheka has incredible bedside manner, always calm, kind, and compassionate. She consistently took the time to truly listen to my questions and concerns at every visit, and she made me feel like not only an active partner in my care, but also fully in charge of my decisions. Communication through the health portal was always prompt and thoughtful, which made a huge difference in easing anxiety between appointments. One of the things I appreciated most was how respectful and supportive she was of my birth preferences. I had a detailed birth plan and chose to have a doula present during delivery, both of which were not only accepted but genuinely welcomed. I never felt pressured into anything I wasn't comfortable with, which made the experience that much more empowering and meaningful. I also feel incredibly lucky that Dr. Badheka happened to be the on-call OB during my labor and delivery. She handled everything with such care, presence, and professionalism. Her composure, clear communication, and emotional support made all the difference in helping me feel safe and confident throughout the process. It's rare to find a provider who is both medically excellent and emotionally attuned. I feel so fortunate to have had Dr. Badheka by my side during such a significant chapter of my life. If you are looking for an OB who truly listens, respects your choices, and provides exceptional care, look no further!

The best doctor during my whole pregnancy. Very understanding, caring, and communicated well…read more Answered emails quickly and took my concerns, and opinions well. She will def be a doctor I would recommend.
