I wish I could give NO stars... Mind you, this review is only of this particular doctors bedside manner. I've seen other physicians in this practice that are wonderful to work with.
Our 4 month old daughter started crying hysterically out of nowhere. We tried all our usual tactics trying to calm her down and her crying just got more and more intense. It lasted far longer than normal and was a cry that sounded like nothing we've heard before..at least not for that long.
So we had the Dr on call paged.
Dr Martinez calls us back asking what the emergency was.
I explained what was going on, said she didn't have a fever, she's not dirty, shouldn't be hungry (& wouldn't eat when we tried)...etc.
He asks me why I'm having him paged for crying.
.......I said sorry to disturb you, but we were told if baby cries for prolonged amount of time and/or you do not recognize this particular cry we should call the doctor.
He said he didn't know who told us such thing, but you don't call for crying baby. To call back of she has fever, vomiting...blah, blah, blah.
I said, yes well I wouldn't call for just a cry, we were concerned..thanks anyway and hung up.
This is the same doctor we've had issues with before making us wait an hour or more for our appointment to begin after the appointed time. Unfortunately for us, he was the doctor on call tonight. I'll be looking into a whole different practice at this point. I love the doctor in the practice we were going to continue with but if we have to deal with this when he's on call, it's not worth it.
We will never step foot back into this practice thanks to him. It only takes one bad egg to ruin someone's overall experience. read more
