I rated 5 stars because I love CVIH. My family has been going to "The Indian Clinic" for 4 generations now. It allows us to use our native medical benefits in a welcoming, caring, professional environment. We have always received the best care here for over 30 years. Until now. I do not blame the clinic. I do feel very sorry for those working with or being treated by Dr. Kadel. This man is very rude, unprofessional and down right mean. I walked into the clinic on Monday morning. I believed that I had "strep throat". I was greeted and helped by the wonderful front desk staff and a very kind and professional nurse. But when the doctor came in he would not let me talk. He asked me questions about my condition but quickly cut me off if I tried to give more than a yes or no answer. He looked at my throat and explained that my test was negative for strep and so the pustules in my throat we're just a bacterial infection and I would not need antibiotics. He suggested gargling and sleeping with a humidifier. I was very thankful to hear this. But he quickly left before I could ask any questions. If he would have let me I would have explained that I work as an esthetician or "facialist" (I touch people's faces for a living.) After being out sick, I must provide my employer with a note clearing me to return to work. I did manage to tell him that I had been out of work Saturday and Sunday but he cut me off. I had tried Urgent Care on Saturday but was turned away because my "regular insurance" is inactive. So unless I wanted a huge ER bill I had to wait for CVIH to open Monday morning. After he left I went to check out and asked for a note for work. I was handed a note from the front desk staff that simply stated that I was in the clinic on that day. I then remembered that he said the words "easily passed from person to person". So I asked the FD if she could ask the doctor to clarify whether or not I was still contagious and if not I would need it in writing. She called the back. The lovely nurse called me to the back and began to explain to me that, "the doctor said that you have had several days to rest already and he will not sign anything for you." Trigger panic attack! I was so exhausted and overwhelmed at this point I teared up and stuttered the explanation that I did not want an excuse to get out of work. I wanted to be cleared to return to work! She looked at me apologetically and said, "I am so sorry, he is just so hard to talk to." It was as if she was pleading with me not to make her bother him again. But she took the note to him and brought it back with "NOT CONTAGIOUS CAN WORK" scribbled across the bottom. I left feeling thoroughly intimidated, harshly judged, and disrespected. I haven't felt so accused since going to the nurse during gym in middle school. This man is in the wrong profession! It says right on my file that that I suffer from and am medicated for anxiety and panic attacks but he obviously didn't care. I left in a full blown panic attack and without the proper note I needed to take to work. I just thank God it was me and not one of my children. If I ever have to see him again I will walk out rather than be treated. read more
