I am writing to express some concerns regarding the ongoing care and management of my mother, who…read morehas been a patient at Dr. Lee practice for several years. While we appreciate the proximity of your office, I am increasingly concerned about the frequency of her required visits. My mother is 86 years old and, while she is generally in good condition, she experiences persistent left hip and abdominal pain that began five years ago after a minor stroke. We have been bringing her to Dr Lee's office almost every month--and recently at least almost twice a month--for this same pain, but unfortunately, nothing has worked so far. Additionally, she undergoes blood tests and urine tests very frequently around every 2 months, most recently three weeks ago, and it seems these tests are conducted less than every eight weeks. As her caregiver, I am concerned about the physical toll that this frequent testing and traveling takes on her. Most recently, I called Dr. Lee's office to request a refill for her cough medicine which we got prescribed from Dr Lee, His staff informed me that we need to schedule yet another in-person visit. Given that we have already visited 3 weeks ago, I would like to better understand the medical necessity behind requiring an in-person appointment for a routine medication refill, as well as the need for such frequent diagnostic testing. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss a more streamlined care plan for my mother that minimizes unnecessary travel while still managing her health effectively.

For over 15 years, my husband and I have trusted this clinic with our care. Even though they are…read morealways busy because of the excellent care they provide, the practice remains exceptionally organized, reliable, and attentive. Dr. Lee and the entire staff are genuinely caring people. Recently, Dr. Lee wisely ordered a thyroid ultrasound for me, which revealed thyroid cancer. I felt completely fine and had no symptoms at all. I am incredibly grateful for Dr. Lee's attentiveness and tailored approach to our health, which caught this early when it matters most.

I caught a severe cold and urgently searched for a nearby clinic to call. The receptionist was very…read morepushy and overly aggressive. Given the current situation, she mentioned it could be the flu, so in-person consultations weren't possible, and only telemedicine was available. I understood and agreed with that, but she didn't confirm the consultation time and instead hurriedly demanded my date of birth. After checking, she sighed and asked if it was my first visit, showing frustration as if I were the one who didn't understand. I'm usually easy-going, but to be blunt, I can be a bit lazy, so I generally don't leave reviews. However, if the clinic is going to continue operating, the receptionist, Hannah, really needs to be replaced. I've never been treated this rudely in my life. I reached out to this clinic for treatment, but I ended up leaving with more issues.

In the very beginning when he first started and was a brand new doctor, he was awesome. Now he's a total jerk and he has his uneducated office staff and PA running the business. just a few of our most prominent issues: 1. I was extorted by the front office, that he would not see me unless I paid a missed appointment, which I did not schedule. 2. The office refused to treat me, for a raging bladder infection that they tested me for, even though I'm a regular annual patient. I refused to pay the $50 to come BACK to the office the same day, for the RX. 3. His physicians assistant incorrectly diagnosed me as having HPV. And I had to go to another doctor for an incredibly painful procedure, all for nothing. I did not have HPV. 4. In my opinion Kurtz now has a God complex, he didn't used to. ***5. THEY REFUSED TO TREAT ME, AFTER I LEFT MY URINE SAMPLE....UNLESS I PAID WHAT FEELS LIKE A $50 EXTORTION FEE, in order to give me my prescription. When the doctor says they don't hold back care because of an unpaid balance, that is entirely incorrect, and I believe he's lying. His behavior is reprehensible, and he is fully aware of this. Don't say you weren't warned. ....*add the fact that he stands by his uneducated and extremely unprofessional staff, says even more. Do better Dr Kurtz. We ended up going to Dr Annette Bernhut in Orange and she is AWESOME. She cares about you as a person, vs you being the enemy

I've had to leave messages with all kinds of people in order to get their attention. The doctor I saw didn't bother to investigate my own case - he simply looked at other doctor's notes and said "I agree with them." Without listening to me. What was the point of waiting 3.5 months to not be able to speak to a doctor for a real 2nd opinion? Pointless. Providence has really taken a toll on the once great offerings of St Jude's health care.

A medical emergency is defined as "A medical emergency is a health condition or situation that…read moreneeds immediate medical attention." Immediate is defined as "occurring, acting, or accomplished without loss or interval of time." My wife's visit to the emergency room makes no sense to me. Her primary care physician's nurse told her to make an appointment with a doctor (with first available appointment in 4 days), or go to the ER. We chose the ER, but, not before sending me to the gym to exercise, so that she could fix her hair. I understand the ER has more equipment than doctor's office, and even urgent care. It seemed wrong to go to the ER when it was not an emergency. St. Jude ER was vastly different from the ER in Canada that we just visited, where it was a real emergency. We showed up at 5PM and registered. The triage nurse saw us almost immediately. We saw the doctor within an hour. The doctor followed up on the care that my wife received in Canada and ordered a CT scan and some bloodwork. Everyone that we interacted with was nice and professional. They all knew what their job was. I'll take this over universal healthcare in Canada any day where it took 6 hours just to be triaged! Even though we spent four hours at the ER, the time went by quickly because the the process here at St. Jude is just so much better. It was a good experience. I don't want or need to experience them any more. Hopefully, I will never come back.

St. Jude Fullerton's ER demonstrated a serious breakdown in basic patient care. After misdiagnosing…read morethe same symptoms on 7/31 as a "pulled muscle," we returned on 8/10 with lung fluid confirmed by urgent care. The patient then endured seven hours of untreated chest pain because the ER doctor refused to act without radiology, which took ten hours to respond. Pain relief and antibiotics were only given after multiple complaints, and the doctor admitted he was "finally making a decision without radiologist confirmation." The pneumonia diagnosis confirmed after discharge. This level of delay, misjudgment, and lack of urgency is unacceptable for any emergency department. It's too bad I can't give a negative review. In addition, try speaking with Patient Care Relations only to be directed right away to voicemail with a message that call will be returned IN two days, not within two days.

In all, this is a physician with whom I wish to move forward with, for many years to come.

She first was annoyed that we asked her to speak Spanish. When on her bio mentions she speaks it fluently. Her demeanor towards us left us wanting to leave the appointment immediately. Made my family member feel incredibly bad about themselves to the point that she felt her blood pressure raise and was left shaken from the worse experience ever from a doctor. Very insensitive to so many questions. Zero bedside manner. No sense of patience or care AT ALL. She was annoyed that I was prepared with lab work as if that isn't her job to look at it. I don't know how she considers herself a doctor. If she hates people so much, she shouldn't work there. Perhaps the DMV is a better job. I truly feel sorry for anyone that has her. We've never had bad experiences in doctors until today. We will be reporting her to the insurance. This was unacceptable. And incredibly unprofessional. Do not go to her unless you want to feel berated and unappreciated. Unbelievable.
