However, I was put on a medication that I take daily. One that I was told "do not stop taking it immediately, wait, and tapper." I called to tell her what happened. I called for 2-3 days. Nothing. Still without medication. On the 3rd day I called back . I was advised by front desk she would not give me a refill. I WAS NOT ON ANY NARCOTICS OR MUSCLE RELAXERS! I HAD NEVER ASKED FOR AN EARLY REFILL ON ANY MEDICATION OR REPORTED IT AS STOLEN. I even gave them my police case number. She was my favorite dr! I swore I wouldn't go back if she would take the chance with my health and life the way she did. Of course if was the doctor above her that said no, but she didn't have my back and didn't return my calls. As for Robin herself I always thought of her as the best doc ever. She used to listen, follow through, and was there whenever I needed her.

This is a rating for the MFA on Olive. I am one more incident from leaving a medical office I have…read morebeen with for thirty five years. I am on Trelegy for my severe COPD. NOT taking it on time and every day is absolutely NOT an option. So. I wrote my doctor on their portal On May 5th with 5 more days of inhaler, and specified which pharmacy to use. This morning, after Walgreens had texted me yesterday whether I wanted them to fill the script (I said yes please, the pharmacy called me this morning, or at least their machine did, to tell me the refill has been denied! It's Friday. My doctors don't work on weekends, so this has to be taken care of TODAY. Calling the office, I found out that the OFFICE MANAGER denied the refill. Excuse me? Who the whatever (swear word removed) is the office manager who took it upon herself to deny my mandatory inhaler, obviously without looking at my file, because her reasoning was that it was "too soon." So a phone call to the office got this fixed in that Walgreens has the script now BUT they have to order it. So I will be out of my inhaler for the weekend!!!! Possibly longer, AGAIN! Good thing my life doesn't depend on this inhaler. Oh wait, it does.

Coming from a Nursing Staff Supervisor's experience. A few staff members at the El Portel Suite A…read morelocation are extremely rude and unfriendly towards patients and lack professionalism, especially the office manager. Due to the office manager calling me with false accusations about not calling for an appointment on a specific date when I did and without even talking to me about the problem first with any care whatsoever for the patients, we've decided to change providers. And I've been with this provider at this location for over 24 years. My entire family of two other households left that location as well before me due to the same attitude issues and lack of care. Strongly do not recommend this location. The other MFA locations are better, especially when you have children.

I could easily make a tight fist before he got hold of me. Well 60 pt treatments later I don't come close to closing my hand now. You will also enjoy 1 1/2- 3 hr wait times every time. On top of this the wonderfully inept office staff forgot to send in my PT request. So what was to be 2 weeks post surgery to start PT turned into 7 weeks later. Absolutely no excuse for the incompetence. This is a picture of my hand taken a week post surgery, mind you it was only the pinky finger affected.

I decided to try a new injector in town that I was recommended too.. first off she was super sweet but when I asked for my eyebrows to be lifted at the ends all it seemed like she did was just inject me like crazy.. I did request my " 11s" to be "frozen" due to it being my biggest concern. And she advised me it would take 20 units which I already knew from when I would get injected pre pregnancy. Long story short after 48 UNITS to my 31 year old forehead, eyebrows. And crows feet (which I've never gotten that much just for this area) I'm 6 weeks out and it's wearing off... not to mention I was botched in the beginning and was sooo scared to even show my face.. my eyebrows are not lifted they are just "settled" and it makes me soo sad.. because I wanted to feel refreshed and awake and really like Dr. David's work

My experience with Dr. Rabago... To be fair, maybe it's MFA to blame for overbooking and…read moreoverloading doctors with patients. He was there for the birth of my daughter and maybe that allowed me to ignore earlier red flags. He is a great low-stress, NO-QUESTIONS-ASKED kind of doctor. If you want a little more explanation and guidance, he doesn't have the time for you. He was recommended to us by a friend we trust. My last two experiences are what solidified my opinion of Dr. Rabago and MFA. #1 - I have a dental procedure done while I am sick and I receive a nasal bacterial infection that lasts over a month. My wife is sick at the time we both see Dr Rabago but hers is a viral nasal infection. Now any doctor worth his salt can ask basic symptom questions to be clued in on which is which and provide the proper treatment. It is pretty common knowledge that the medical field is over-utilizing antibiotics and because of it, antibiotic-resistant strains are developing more quickly than they should. The solution is to reserve treatment for absolutely needed cases. Bacterial Nasal infections require it while viral nasal infections do not. Dr Rabago takes the lazy route and prescribes antibiotics for us both. When I confront him about it, in a rush, he snidely questions how I know which infection I have. I tell him because I've had it for over a month. He's silent. And that's pretty much the end of that experience. #2 For those familiar with asthma... It's not good to constantly use the albuterol rescue inhaler so they stick us on some form of "controller" thats safer to use on a daily basis. Well the valley's air isnt getting any better so pretty good guess is I'm going to need the controller inhaler prescription for a good long while. Dr. Rabago agrees to prescribe me the Controller Inhaler i need for a year. Pharmacy calls me up after the year and says it's expired on the doctor will not renew. I call the office and they tell me the doctor wants to see me before renewing again. That's understandable, but the nearest appt with Rabago is over a month out. I schedule it. I tell them that I still need the controller inhaler from now until the appt. I'm told Dr Rabago will agree to write a prescription if I schedule the appt. I do it. Nothing happens. I call Costco. They say still being denied. I call the office, Rabago is gone until Tuesday... Best they can do is set an appt with a PA later in the week and I'm left with the impression the PA can only give temp prescriptions. Rather than go to 2 separate appts I give Rabago office a call to see if i can just get the temp prescription until the main appt a month out... They tell me just go to PA appt that she can give me a year-long prescription. Cool. Only I remeber I need to change the appt for another day in the week. I call. They blocked my number. My doctors office blocked my number. Have some decency and remove me as a patient before pretending to continue to provide care and block a number. I called maybe 4 times in the span of a week for a temp prescription Dr Rabago said he would provide if I scheduled the month-out appt. That was a lie. MFA and Dr Rabago are not quality healthcare providers. They are about quantity. Getting patients in and out. I like Dr. Sugimoto. He actually was able to explain his diagnoses and treated us like human beings capable of grasping basic medical concepts and not a patient mill run like an overbooking airline.
