He was very nice and prescribed meds for my stomach pain. A week or so later I get this letter. Not sure what kind of rapport I am supposed to have with a doctor I've never met but there is only one other doctor I can go to so hopefully I don't need a special rapport for him. Very poor customer service. This doctor doesn't care about people only servicing his regulars I guess.

Dr. Baumgartner and his medical assistant, Evelyn are a JOKE! I have Blue Shield PPO insurance and…read moreDr. Baumgartner was assigned to be my PCP over a month ago. When I called to set up an appointment, his very nice receptionist, Desiree told me I needed to stop by and fill out new patient intake forms before I could make an appointment. I filled out the forms over 2 weeks ago and have followed up 2 or 3 times a week to find out my patient status b/c I am starting to run low on meds that I must take daily. Every time I called before today, Desiree told me that the paperwork was sitting on Dr. Baumgartner's desk and to follow up the following week. I called to follow up today and his rude medical assistant, Evelyn answered the phone and told me that I had to be 'accepted' into the practice, even though Dr. Baumgartner was assigned by my insurance. When I asked for a timeline on when that would be, she wouldn't give me an answer! I reiterated to her that I am running low on meds that I must take daily and she told me to go to Urgent Care to get them! When I asked if I could speak to someone else who could help me she told me to go to urgent care again - what a joke!!! It's obvious this Dr. and his staff don't give a crap about their patients if my paperwork has been sitting on the Dr.'s desk for over 2 weeks and they can't help me get meds that I need to take daily in order to live a normal life. I called Blue Shield and filed a complaint about this Dr. and his office - they were very concerned after looking at my medical history and will be filing an appeal on my behalf. I will also be filing a complaint with the state medical board. BTW, I called Big Bear Urgent Care and they would not be able to prescribe any medications to me b/c a) they don't take my insurance and b) THEY WOULD NEED TO GET AUTHORIZATION FROM MY PCP. I will be driving down the hill to see my old docs at Loma Linda University from now on. Avoid at all costs!

MY son went head over hills on his bike into a tree and I wanted to see if he needed to go to ER. they will see me in 10 minutes for a hang nail, No kidding but when my son needed to see them right away they told me they would see him in a month This is while they're office SAT Completely empty On top of this, his PA Joyce is really nice until I want her to go over any kind of results with me and then the 2 front girls at the office, especially Melissa she decided that she's a doctor and she can tell me I don't need anybody to go over any of the results. I broke my foot and got x-rays - they said " oh your foot's not broken" so look at the picture. This is what this foul office calls not broken Now I called health health net and I told them what was going on and I said do not tell them that it's me that complaining because this louse is the only doctor up here so I can't even get a referral if I don't have doctor. So of course Healthnet named me. Now this doctor knowing that he is the only doctor that actually treats patients up here on this hill Has completely refused to fill my prescriptions that are life saving prescriptions and hes refused to see me so I can't get a referral for any test or anything that's wrong with me and I've been very sick for the past 5 months with no help. My son got extremely ill from the 2nd vaccine of fizer and has been throwing up September 14th it is 1st October 1st Yesterday and my son had to go to the emergency room because this narcassist doctor who refuses to see my 15 yeat old and refuses to refer him to a gastro specialist to find out what's wrong with this kid's stomach. hes throwing up compulsively every night after getting this vaccine he has lumps under his arm and hes so ill he can barely sit up. the only help I got was at the ER emergency room in big bear where they told me they could give him an anti nausea prescription and that he needed to see a gastro specialist but since we have no primary doctor we can't see a specialist so my son is sitting here dying health net gets all my money and doctor Kennedy who's supposed to be a doctor who would do no harm He is critically harm my child and he is done my body a mass amount of harm including Putting me under extreme stress of whether I'm going to get my life saving medication fell or not I have to go through this every month I have to jump through hooks and I went for 2 weeks with no synthroid and got extremely sick thanks to this scumbag doctor this man should be desbarred and I am filing an official complaint with the board of directors of medical board of directors of medic of the medical board He is an old man he is senile he has no right to practice and Joyce his PA should be ashamed of herself because I was really nice nice to her and I put my trust in her and she could have had the decency to call me and talk to me and be a real doctor but instead she decided that the front office girls are the real doctors here and they can make sure that you never get to see a doctor. Yes the bimbo and the front office is who went over my x-rays with me not a doctor and not APA but a bimbo who sits behind the dusk and doesn't even know how to pronounce your own last name guess everybody's foot looks like Spock

During the call, she repeatedly asked for my name and basic information multiple times, even after I answered several times clearly. The conversation became very confusing, and instead of handling it professionally, she repeatedly said "oh my gosh," laughed during the call, and spoke to me in a rude tone. When she mentioned that my information was not on file, I explained that I was calling because I was a new patient. She responded by saying, "Well, you should've said that before." At that point, I expressed that I felt she was being rude and unprofessional and simply asked for the referral doctor's phone number instead. She then hung up on me. It's unfortunate that someone seeking medical help would be treated this way. Patients should be treated with patience, professionalism, and respect, especially during their first interaction with a medical office. Hanging up on a patient and making them feel mocked or dismissed is unacceptable.
