As a former patient from ten years ago, I was happy and content to have a consultation with Dr…read moreKreul for a hip indent fat grafting. However, upon interaction he seemed cold, off and needless to say; no genuine thrilled from seeing a return patient (from ten years!)... In short, I felt body shamed; him stating I was too fat based on BMI- (liability), to be treated in his office. Mind you, I have no underlining conditions nor nothing imminent that will scream red flags. His way for me to "run" was to hit me a pricey 8k which included to be intubated at a Asante facility which means more fees. He's word's were contradicting he said you gained a significant lot of weight (No sh*t! I was 16O# ten years ago, plus I had 3 more kids). Followed by "there's no fat left"... um okay. so, am I fat or not fat enough, that part was frustrating to me since he seemed contradicting. (For the record, it's not my first rodeo in getting surgery, I've had at least a total of 4 different surgeries; tummy tuck from Dr Kreul breast augmentation with a lift and gastric bypass surgery both from Tijuana in two separate occasions, lastly, a BBL from Miami). If anything he judged me based on what the scale stating 211lb., keep in mind his scale doesn't distinguish how much is fat; let alone, how much is muscle. To which I informed him that and he agreed on. I see a Nutritionist on a monthly basis (one peak medical), and we're focusing on "bulking up" meaning increase my Protein, lean meats and low carb diet. Recently, I gained two pounds of muscle!! but how would Dr Kreul know if he judged me based on what his "scale"- no labs or condition for him to assess me on the spot. I don't think that was a fair judgement let alone assessment. His MA and front desk ladies that attended me were amazing and wonderful. Those two Latina ladies were genuine, friendly and made me felt welcome. The financial coordinator Kim, is cool but dry, no better way for me to say it, yet that may be due to her role as a financial coordinator/ office manager. In addition, as a visual learner and current MBA student; I've provided Kim, some insight onsite in regard to her misleading treatment plan. When it comes to presenting a treatment plan; the bottom line is and should be that.. the bottom line. No need to re highlight based on what was summarized above it's misleading. Whether she understood what I meant or not, not my concern but I was giving her an insight to which I'm sure other's would appreciate and may hesitate to ask.

I was referred by my dermatologist to Valley Plastic Surgery to have 3 moles excised and biopsied…read more They had previously been biopsied and came back atypical. I noticed when the referral was made that the practitioner said, "He is the only one in the valley who does this work" but I didn't think much about it. I went to the office at the appointed time and my VERY strange experience began. I was ushered into an exceedingly tiny, quite crowded room. When the doctor came in, he seemed either in a very bad mood or to be quite depressed. He certainly did not display any warmth, empathy, or concern. Because the room was so crowded, he had to cram himself (I am not exaggerating) between the wall and where I was sitting on the examining table. There simply was no room. He was very crude in the way that he kept roughly pushing on me physically as if it was my fault that his office was so tiny and so crowded. His movements were harsh and rough. I have had very little experience with plastic surgeons but this was definitely not what I expected. He cut the moles out of me and began to stitch me as if I was a dilapidated sofa. I was totally shocked throughout the entire experience. I ended up severely bruised. It took two months for the stitches to dissolve and an equal amount of time for the bruises to fade. I am amazed, still, at how exceedingly rough, uncaring, and downright rude he was. He may be the only plastic surgeon in the Rogue Valley that does this work but if I need to have similar work done in the future, then I will get a referral to a doctor somewhere else, even if I have to drive to the Bay Area or fly to Santa Fe. This man will NEVER touch me again. Thankfully, my biopsies came out negative.

I got sick of talking time off work and going back in to get cut on, that I finally just accepted that it is going to look this way. I'm very sad about it. I can't afford to go anywhere else to get it fixed and it's a clear that he CAN'T seem to make it right. This was a once in a lifetime thing for me that I've wanted done for years.

So very, very, very r-e-l-u-c-t-a-n-t-l-y I duly reported for outpatient surgery this morning. Did I get a surprise. The check-in process was organized and efficient. I was collected from the waiting room 2 to 3 minutes after I sat down, which is a first in my experience. Yes! You read that correctly. I was NOT kept waiting for an hour. Erica, who is quite wonderful, took me to the sparkling clean room where the outpatient surgery was to be done. (The entire facility was sparkling clean, by the way.) She explained very clearly the next steps, which began to reassure me. Shortly after Dr, Herron came in, explained every step of the way what she would be doing next, and did it. Honestly,I didn't feel it when she administered the local anesthetic. I did not need to ask for more because she gave me the right amount to begin with. I didn't feel anything but light pressure as she conducted the surgery. I was surprised at how quickly she did the procedure. Before I knew it, she had bandaged me up, told me what to expect and what to do for the next 24 hours and then the next week. I was also given that information in writing, which was very helpful. Bottom line: Even though I had outpatient surgery, which required an incision this was the best experience I have ever had in a medical doctor's office. As the afternoon progressed, I did not experience any discomfort, much less pain. This is a very well organized, well-run medical practice. I highly recommend it.

Had a horrible rash on my face and since he couldn't see me for about a week (which is understandable) I went to urgent care and started on prednisone. The rash was mostly gone by my appointment so I almost cancelled but had taken good pictures of it and since he had seen me previously and given me a cream that I had a bad reaction to, I thought I should still see him to get some help. First words out of his mouth when he walks in are "It's the patient who's here for a rash and doesn't have a rash". I laughed it off because he had to be joking right? He then proceeds to tell me there is nothing he can do for me since i dont have a rash. I tell him I have pictures. He says "I dont diagnose based on pictures". I tell him he saw me for this rash before and the cream gave me a bad reaction, cant he give me something else. He says "but you dont have a rash now, why would I treat a rash you dont have?" I try to appeal financially, telling him it costs me a lot of money to see him. He says I can come back if the rash comes back. He tells me maybe it is some form of dermatitis that I can't remember the name of and that he treats it with an Antibiotic. I ask him to prescribe it for me, he says no because I don't have a rash. The bottom line is he had no desire to treat me. He made up his mind that I was wasting his time and so he wouldn't do anything for me. I am an RN in the valley and have been telling all of my coworkers, friends and family to avoid The Clinic for Dermatology and Wellness at all costs. I have worked with all sorts of doctors over the years and have never seen a patient treated with as little regard as I was treated by Joe Gatti.

Dr. Rajagopal & Dr. Savage themselves might be okay, but I never got that far. Instead I had an…read moreabsolutely wild call with Tiffany at the desk the day of my appointment for an exam (Mon) where she berated me for not returning their Friday 11:37 am phone call by 2pm before they closed early for the weekend. I told her I was at work, but that was not a good enough reason apparently? She was calling to repeatedly flat out insist that my insurance was not through the company on the card I was holding in my hand, but was through HMA instead and that I needed to call them and sort this out. I repeatedly insisted that I had never heard of HMA and that it wasn't my insurance and that I was holding my insurance card in my hand and I was pretty sure it was correct. No, it was incorrect, she "wasn't trying to be argumentative" but it was absolutely incorrect and I needed to call my dentist to get my correct insurance information or I needed to call my real insurance company HMA and figure it out or I could have this insurance company that I thought was my insurance company call her and give her my information. But no, she wouldn't be trying to call the company whose card I was holding, she didn't have time before lunch. So it turns out that, yes, the card I was holding is in fact the card of my insurance provider and, yes, my dentist does in fact have my correct insurance on file and yes, they did send it to her, they just told her it could be looked up ON the HMA website. It's also the same, correct, information that I had to give them before I was able to book an appointment at Associates for Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery in the first place. I'm really not sure how we ended up here at all. Tiffany called back to blame it all on my dentist but I let her know I'd booked with another oral surgeon instead and cancelled my appointment at AOMS. I get that misunderstandings happen, but to be argued with like that and have someone absolutely refuse to hear me out was a huge red flag for me. If that's how patients are spoken to and treated at Associates for Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery - somewhere that practices sedation dentistry and actively advertises for anxious and phobic patients - if that's how Dr. Rajagopal & Dr. Savage conduct their business I can't have any confidence that I would be treated any differently while someone is literally operating on my face. (Jokes a little on them because I fully knew that I'm nearing the max on my dental insurance and would likely be paying cash for the procedure itself, I just wanted my dental insurance to cover what it could on the exam while I saved in the meantime. Congrats to the Dr. that will now be receiving a cash payment though!)
