To supplement my income over the years and keep the wolves at bay, I have occasionally been a…read moresubject in one medical study or another. It's not something I am particularly proud of, but at the same time-except for my bad knee-I am fairly well-preserved. So I might have a moral obligation to aid medical science to better understand how one can improve one's basic health. Let me rephrase this situation: Yes I am proud to help out pharmaceutical companies-I just wish I didn't need the extra income so much! Therefore I will add that this is one of the better study places to go. They treat you humanely here and are very professional. There are good, qualified and competent doctors on staff. The study coordinator's seem to be intelligent and don't jack you around about cutting you a check. I have been at some absolutely awful offices where they keep you waiting or make you come back to pick up your medication because THEY didn't have it ready. Encompass Research FEELS like a regular medical office so you don't have the "stigma" mentality like you would at some of the more assembly line medical study places. Also-the best part is if they say you have to fast for a blood test, right after wards-Encompass is right there offering you water, coffee, or a healthy snack! That's right on-since I don't do too good off coffee for long in the morning! There is usually a variety of studies available to try and qualify for. You don't even have to be in "perfect health," sometimes a little bit off somewhere is acceptable. I like to feel-when I am not officially employed-that I am managing to do something "intrinsic" with my time and talents, so being a medical study guinea pig is right up my alley. Call that phone number during office hours and see if you might be the next one to get poked by a big needle? For Science Of Course!

The only problem is that it's quite difficult to get appointments that aren't two weeks ahead, but I assume that's because he's popular or something.

Now I know why Dr. Cesena was open on the same day. He came across very abrasive and as if he didn't not want to be in the office. I felt like a burden to him and that he did not want to help me with what was going on, but instead wanted to pawn me off to the ER. I am in obvious pain, he suggested I continue to take the medication that I got on Monday, which I made clear hasn't helped at all. Dr. Cesena made me feel invisible, and I was wasting his time. He didn't even touch my shoulder or back where I had the issue. All he did was check my heart beat OVER my thick sweater. I almost couldn't believe how insensitive and aloof he was being with a patient in clear need of care. Through tears, I had to ask for an xray because this pain doesn't feel normal. Dr. Cesena made my pain and experience worse. He didn't even ask about my job or if I needed work accommodations. I also noticed there is a HIPAA violation on my chart. There is a section where he says I was a smoker or quit smoking cigarettes. I am not, nor have I ever been a cigarette smoker. He did not ask anything about smoking. So either he put false information in my chart, or he put some other patients information in my chart. How can I trust Kaiser if something is actually wrong with me? How am I able to trust Kaiser when this is the type of physician you have to "care" for your patients if he can't fill out the chart properly. We come in because we're sick, not because we're all good. A little compassion goes a long way.

He is aggressively impatient, and has a bad attitude, mistreats his patients by cutting them off, and will turn deaf to patients communicating their valid concerns. If you happen to get him I would advise walking out and getting back any monies you paid because you will get better service from the local curandera. He's not a doctor. He's just there to tell you "no" and gets paid well to do that. Without listening to a word, he walked into the patient room already with his mind made up to deny a referral. Forget about having this guy as your doctor (if you can call him that); you might as well take out an extra life insurance policy and buy your casket. Honestly, I doubt if he's exercised his knowledge of medicine since med school and gotten the cob webs out upstairs. Welcome to the 21st century.
