Update: Sutter Health has known for years that my prostate PSA SCREENING test results have been…read morealarmingly high. Finally, in 2024, Dr. Mabardy, my new PCP, performed a DRE of my prostate, something NEVER before done all my years at Sutter Health, both at Davis and Yuba City. Both Dr's. Hamid Kourdoni, Sutter Health Yuba City, and David DaSilva simply ignored my high readings. Now, I have intermediate stage aggressive prostate cancer. I had to get another health care provider, Dignity Health Woodland, California Woodland, who is now treating me for prostate cancer. This cancer could have been prevented, had Sutter Health Yuba City and Davis, their doctors, supervisors, and management had done their jobs. I am in complete distress over the fact that my cancer was indicated and ignored by Sutter Health Dr's Kourdoni and DaSilva. This is completely unconciounable! Not only that, but Dr. Ferguson, Davis's only Urologist refused to see me. His nurse hung up on me twice when I tried to call and make an appointment. It's just horrible and unconciounable!
Please, please, do not risk your life here. If they don't cause your physical death, they will do whatever they want, with little or no concern for your ultimate good. The bottom line here is just that. MONEY! The organization has no moral compass whatsoever. It's contract doctors are either frightened corporate lackeys or maniacal ego driven selfish consumers of their own imagined self-importance. Simply abhorrent!
There is still hope. No! Not here! Go down the street to Dignity Health Woodland, California. I did. I am now being cared for as a human being, not as a commodity. Finally, my cancer is being addressed and treated by a caring and professional team of doctors and health care professionals; not off the street lame uneducated supervisors and "match-book" MBA type managers, who are really just silly corporate lackeys and societal pariah.
Do the right thing for yourself and your family. Avoid Sutter Health like the plague!
