I cannot have a doctor who has rude, unkind, uncaring staff no matter how good the doctor is because I don't want to have to fight for my rights when I'm not feeling well. I will be coming from out of town to see Dr. Hamad because the front desk staff in the area where I live seem to be rude and non caring at every doctor's office I have been to over the last 3 years. It's refreshing to have somewhere to go for healthcare where the staff are kind... even if it means traveling hundreds of miles to get there.

I had called the office to find out what was going on regarding the office deciding to discharge a…read morefamily member from their service. Upon calling and asking what had happened in events, I was quoted what California state laws were before they even talked about what happened and decisions that they made to discharge my family member as a patient. When I told him I did not need to know about state laws and I just wanted to know the events that occurred. They snapped back at me saying that that's what I was doing to let them finish. I it seemed that when I mention the patient's name that the tone has changed and shifted to be a negative already perceived emotion of counter transference to me. They already had their negative opinion of the patient and brought that on to me as well. The person I spoke to spoke to me in such a degrading, rude and disrespectful manner for about 30 minutes or more I feel that their conversations of being correct was more important than trying to deal with the situation. This person that I spoke to was very controlling and wanting to keep the conversation going on there end and hardly let anyone communicate and find out or ask questions and commented when we did interrupt that we were being rude and disrespectful and not letting them finish. It was so degrading that at one point I had to yell at the top of my lungs and cuss out this person Just to get my point across and that is simply not something I do at a spite and it takes a lot for me to go to that. Never in my life have I been treated with such disrespect from a doctors office from the staff. Please choose to go to this doctor with caution. I don't know about the doctors care, but the staff are completely and utterly disrespectful. They only change tune when we both apologize for whatever we supposedly did, but we did nothing wrong. They accused the patient of being rude and disrespectful to staff without any proof or any derogation of what happened except for them saying that's a patient said to one staff "do you know how to read?" and apparently that was enough to make this other staff cry and go to the doctor instead of addressing the situation with the patient instead and asking questions or trying to work it out they let it continue on until they decided that they no longer want this patient at their office. Do not choose this person as a primary care doctor if you want to have poor staff working with you. According to the patient, the staff were not responses enough to schedule appointments or get referrals quick enough for service or care and that they were trying to follow up many times to get the information needed to get their care and due to this, the staff thus took this as an aggressiveness And harassment. I can only guess the amount of grief. My family member had to deal with this over the course of 2 to 3 years, but thankfully they will be looking for a new primary care doctor after their last appointment. During the conversation with the staff, it was clear to my understanding that they are discriminate towards those of opposite or different genders and have no respect towards anyone that have cognitive or other disabilities. I have looked at other reviews of this office and made note that there were similar discriminatory issues. You can look at those for yourself. It is clear that this office mainly focuses on making fun of or talking bad about other patients behind people's backs and have personal opinions on different people that come into the office and don't really care about the person care and or respect of who that person is. Nor do they have respect for people that are trying to get answers to find out what was going on. I would highly recommend if I was this doctor to get a whole new set of staff the ones that would respect and provide dignity to the patients that come in and out of the office. I have worked in a doctors office in the past and had a horrible doctor to work for and I know it can happen the opposite around with staff as well and this is all coming from someone with a social service background. It is terrible that a family member has to go through this and this and terrible when a family member request for help and that person also is treated with disrespect. We made apologies in our discussion with them just to make peace, but they did not apologize on their side for what they said or did and that is unacceptable and unprofessional. Next time, if they have an issue with the patient, they should talk to that patient and work it out with them. We are not in the hunger games. We are not in high school. We are individuals seeking care in a safe place in the healthcare system and if you cannot provide that, then you do not deserve to work for an office that provides care . There are other places you could work for or maybe not work for depending on how you look at it.
