This doctor discriminates senior patients. I called a Doctor for my mom who has travel insurance since this doctor is a part of the network of travel insurance based on insurance guide book.
She had stomach pain while staying in the USA. She is 64. The receptionist confirmed with the doctor and refused her visit because she is senior age. This doctor does not accept the first time patients who are senior age. The receptionist mentioned that the doctor gives all patients the same condition, so they cannot give her exception to be equal to all other patients who were denied. What kind of doctor is it??? Trying not to discriminate patients by giving the same condition, but what he is actually doing is age discrimination.
I understand if he does not accept all first time patients any more, but he accepts younger patients. He filters patients by age!
At the same time, I asked if the doctor accepts my visit since my annual check up needs to be done, and they said it's ok if I visit the office once before the annual check up. Here, it proves age discrimination. Second issue is that he just want to charge office visit first before accepting annual check up. They said it is because many patients ask their health concerns during annual check up, so they want to avoid that. What a unhelpful doctor is it??!! Doctors I had gone answered for health concerns during check up if I have. That is a part of annual check up. I understand if the doctor bills for an office visit fee if it goes beyond small health concerns. Otherwise, they should ask and answer as part of annual check up.
Two issues for this doctor.
1. you won't be able to go there if you are first time patients & if you are senior.
2.If you go to this doctor for annual check up, you won't be able to ask your health concerns.
I really really do not recommend such a doctor who has a cold heart.
This is first time for me to put a review on yelp because I don't like writing reviews. But I felt I should for this situation to let this doctor know that he should take this issue seriously and improve what the is dong for any future patients.
I don't understand why so many good reviews for this doctor..... read more
