After going through a lot with Kaiser, this physician has lied about telling my daughter and I that…read moremy daughter at age 16 had type II Diabetes II on 8/17/12. Dr Parul Patel is a pediatric endocrinologist and one of the only specialists in this area with Kaiser in San Diego. I am posting as of all MD's that should be of high moral stature, Pediatricians should be careful especially when dealing with teens. I am hoping others who have had issues with this MD will post also.

Dear Ms. Emily S., I…read moream sorry to hear you had such a bad experience with Dr. Patel. I read your review and just think a different perspective needs to be addressed. I believe that blame for your daughter's diagnosis is being put on the wrong doctor. I know, you know how Kaiser's system works, that you have to be referred to Dr. Patel before your visit. Dr. Patel can only go by what lab results are in the system. Yes, you are right all doctors are only human and Kaiser does a good job with that knowledge. There are steps to follow and in my opinion Dr.Patel and Gabi did their job and followed Kaiser's policies to give your child the best care possible. Yes, there was fault in your daughter's diagnosis, but the blame is not with Dr. Patel it is in the lab work that was done and the doctor who referred you to Dr. Patel. Further, I must state that my son is a Type 1 diabetic and Dr. Patel and Gabi are our greatest supporters in his care. We would not have made it without all of their knowledge and love. Dr. Patel and Gabi truly love their patients, we feel it every time we have contact with them. We are able to call them twenty-four hours a day for any emergency. And believe me as a mom that safety net is a great blessing. I am always made to feel welcome and assured about any issues that arise. And with diabetes and a child, issues do come up! I have found their knowledge invaluable in my sons care and am so grateful to have them in my corner. So, Ms. Emily I am sad to hear you had such a bad experience. But, I am really happy that your daughter is not diabetic and I pray for your family that everyone remains healthy! Heather C.

As the medical facility is convenient for where I live I agreed to give him a go. On all occasions that I have been to see Dr Mark Shalauta he has been willing to spend adequate time to explain information to me, listen to any concerns and provide solutions and answers to my questions. He really listens to what you have to say which is a big positive in my book in regards to a doctor. I am so impressed with him that I have changed my daughter over to him from her pediatrician as I was not feeling a connection with that doctor.

The doctor is obviously competent and caring, but also has enough tough and humor to get great results from somewhat recalcitrant little old lady.

I really can't recommend them all highly enough. They've made some of the hardest parts of life just that much easier. And in case you're looking at more than one site, I am indeed spamming this everywhere I can, because I'm generally not a reviewer, but so appreciate Dr. Jamison and her whole office that I'm doing what my mother told me to and giving credit where credit is due.

Doctors never reached out or knew my name after months, appointment were months behind and/or the day of your appointment the infusion rooms would be two to three hours behind. I chose to leave and find a new treatment center. I was blessed to find Dr. Xavier at Scripps in San Diego who was referred by a friend. She reached out within days, knew my history, was kind, compassionate, and willing to help. She is such a pleasure to meet with and always thorough in explaining what is happening; providing detail in terms we can understand. She responds to my emails the same day! She doesn't have her support staff reach out unless it's a basic question, like med refill. A cancer journey is horrid, and it takes an amazing doctor to make it a pleasant in knowing that your doctor is doing all she can to help and at the same time allowing you to have a voice in the decision process. Scripps Cancer Center overall is the best, but having a great doctor is the added bonus. Thank you!!!`

I can assure you I am not related to the doctor, he's not my friend, and I have nothing to do with his business! I put a lot of time and thought into this review, and I only did it to tell the truth.*** I could not disagree more with the firsrt reviewer. I think Dr. Rathbun is outstanding. Dr. Rathbun has been my family's physician for half a decade now, and I have nothing but good things to say. Dr. Rathbun has a quiet and gentle manner that puts children (and nervous adults) at ease. He is never pompous, abrupt, or condescending, which are traits one unfortunately sees sometimes in doctors who graduate from the best medical schools (Dr. R went to UCSD). Instead, he is patient, courteous, and calm, and appears genuinely concerned about his patients' well-being. In my experience, he approaches the patient's concerns with the seriousness appropriate to the occasion, but is never without a genuine smile and a bit of humor to lighten the mood. The first reviewer said that Dr. Rathbun rashly blurted out to her mother that she "may have cancer when there was nothing to indicate this." I mean no disrespect to that reviewer, but I find that very hard to believe; it just doesn't square at all with my experience. Here's an example: in infancy, my daughter experienced a series of unexplained ilnesses and multiple bouts of pneumonia. People started throwing around the "C" word, so when I approached Dr. Rathbun about an underlying cause, I was really scared. (Dr. Rathbun had already suggested we consider a more comprehensive approach to find out what was going on.) Dr. Rathbun was not alarmist at all. He calmly listened to my concerns, reviewed my daughter's medical history, then helped me formulate a plan for invesitgation and eventual diagnosis. Happily, it turned out she does not have cancer, but a condition that more or less resolves itself by adulthood and can be managed in the meantime with proper prevention. Throughout the diagnostic process, Dr. Rathbun was always available with a calm, practical, and reassuring response to the changing information. Here's another: a while ago, I began experiencing pressure and pain that started to interfere with my ability to run and carry the kids. Being a lifelong runner and a mother, I was worried. Of course when I finally went to see Dr. Rathbun, I was worried about the big C. As always, Dr. Rathbun calmly and patiently listened to my symptoms, asked pertinent questions, conducted a thorough exam, and then devised a plan of testing and diagnosis, starting with the simplest and most obvious and working up from there. Never once did he say, "Oh, my God, I think you have cancer!" or anything so ridiculous. He must have read that fear on my face, though, because at the close of the visit, he said with a smile, "And no, I don't think it's cancer. Nothing in your symptoms or your exam suggests that." Finally, even my husband, who HATES going to the doctor and avoids it until a body part is falling off, likes Dr. Rathbun. He was a little leery before his first visit; he said, "Isn't he a baby doctor?" But after Dr. Rathbun helped resolve a long-standing elbow problem that had plagued him for months and interfered with his push-ups, he agreed that Dr. Rathbun is pretty great. In short, in my opinion Dr. Rathbun is an excellent pediatrician and family practitioner, and I would highly recommend him.
