Dr. Kathleen Morimoto was my daughters PCP. At first I thought she was the greatest doctor, she came to the hospital the day my daughter was born. Then I would get the run around and the front office staff was horrible to me. In Jan I decided to transfer my daughter to another PCP. She was sick and it took 8 hrs to get a call back from a doctor at the office. That same day I managed to call Alohacare, change PCP and make an appointment for the same day with her new doctor. Where the NEW doctor told me to stop giving her the medication Dr. Morimoto office told me to keep giving my daughter even though she was allergic to it. That day her new PCP Office sent Official Transfer of Records request, which I obviously had to sign for. Two weeks later I called Dr. Morimotos office and asked politely usually how long does it take to transfer records. The lady on the other end (they never identify themselves, which is unprofessional) was so rude to me. She literally told me that I wasn't a priority and that she will get to it when they feel like it. I got the whole conversation recorded, which I plan to upload to Youtube. She was nasty. My daughter needed her Shot records for her Wellness Check Up.
I know i'm a new mother and have a lot more to learn about life, and I do know they made a big error on their end. I had to file a grievance with my medical in order for them to fax my daughters records to her new PCP. Today I received a "Grievance Resolved Letter" . Where doctor Morimotos office apologized "For the way I was treated". Yet I have to point out the fact that prior to that sentence was a lie told by Dr. Morimotos office. In the letter the office Manager said "that the medical records are not sent without official notice from the new doctor." The day I asked if and when they were going to send the records. She admitted they received a "Official notice requesting my daughters records"..
So in reality..
This office is unprofessional, placed my childs safety on the back burner, apologies for the way they treated me (through a third party), Then call me a liar that I did not send a official notice asking for records. Which in reality is all documented.
What I learned from this: Always keep detailed records and audio recordings. Also to ask alot of questions. read more
