Well, I see I'm not alone in my assessment of the jerk that is Dr. Rudolph. He is a fat shamer and…read morea VERY unethical human being. Might be a good surgeon, but that is the ONLY good thing I have to say about him. Wait till you hear what he said to me as I lay in my hospital bed! But I need to set this all up first. God forbid you are an ounce overweight. My first visit to his office for a possible knee replacement (and this should have been my first clue) was the unsolicited advice he gave me in regards to my being fat. Btw, I don't have a problem using that word. I'm fat and I won't be much longer now that I am getting my second knee done by another doctor and will be able to return to my normal activities of power walking and boogie boarding. I was a competitive athlete, so I know what I need to do that I haven't been able to do for several years now. He actually said to me, "Why don't you just eat one meal...EVERY OTHER DAY." WTF?! Who gives ridiculously unhealthy advice like that?! I even said to him, "Are you crazy?!" He then said, "I guess I shouldn't be giving out nutritional advice, heh, heh." I then responded with, "You sure as hell shouldn't!" One more pre op visit before surgery and then he says to me, "Tell me the risks of surgery." And I did. He then said, "Now tell me the risk of surgery being that overweight." I said, "Look Doc, I know how overweight I am, you don't need to say that." Sheez. Fast forward to two days after surgery as I am lying in my hospital bed at Scripps La Jolla, where he is not on staff, but does his procedures there. He comes in at like 6 am and proceeds to trace his hands over my body in some stupid fashion and all I could say was, "What are you doing?" He responds with, "I'm just trying to figure out how you do it." "Do what?" I say. He says, and I shit you not...."YOU'RE LIKE THE SIZE OF TWO PEOPLE, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE A PAPOOSE LYING NEXT TO YOU." And he laughed whilst he said it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I said, "You are the most unprofessional doctor and you have fat shamed me for the last time!! Leave the room now and I never want to see you again!!" I only saw his P.A. Eric, for my post op visits. You know, the one that the other negative reviewer, Lisa S. said on here, is not very personable. She's right, he's not, but at least he never fat shamed me! Needless to say, I told several of the nurses, who literally dropped their jaws (pretty much the response I've received from everyone I've told this story to!!) and asked me to tell this to the charge nurse, which of course I did. She gave me the number of the Chief of Orthopedic Surgery and several other hospital administrators to report him to. And you better believe I did as soon as I got home. The Chief called back and apologized profusely to me and said no one deserves to be talked to that way. He said he would be speaking to him regarding this matter. I told him that I just happen to be a confident fat girl. Can you imagine him saying this to one who isn't??! WAIT, IT GETS EVEN MORE CONVOLUTED FROM HERE! Fast forward 6 months later and I now need to get my other knee replaced, which I knew was coming. I knew I wasn't going back to him, that's for sure. After calling several other surgeons and being turned down, some because of my weight, and others because of my insurance, I got a bit desperate, and decided to call back Rudolph's office to see if there might be another surgeon in his office that might do the procedure. Eric, his PA answered the phone. When I told him why I was calling, he said, "Are you sure you don't want Dr. Rudolph to do it? You think the surgery went ok, right?" Yes, I said, but this is what he said to me in the hospital and I really don't want to see him again, bla, bla. Eric said, let me just see if he will even do the surgery on you and put me on hold before I could even say no way. What he came back with next, blew me away. Eric said, "I talked to him and he said, if you will call back the Chief of Surgery and tell him you regret all you said, he will do your surgery." WHAT THE HELL?!?! You want me to lie about my own horrific experience with you and compromise MY ETHICS to do so?!?! The nerve of that bastard!! I should report your ass to the AMA and don't think I still won't! Happy ending to this sad story. The very next day, I found a wonderful doctor who is doing my surgery this coming week. When I asked him why he would do the surgery when others wouldn't, he said, "Recent literature shows that there is no more of a risk doing surgery on overweight patients as there is on thinner ones." He also was blown away when I told him what Dr. Rudolph said and how I was treated. I sure hope someone in his office, or Dr. Rudolph himself reads this. You need to understand how you are undermining people's esteem and confidence with your fat shaming ways. Take some kind of patient compassion classes, because you are far from being a compassionate person, no less a caring doctor!!

Well, when I thought it couldn't get any worse, I went to the ER in Grossmont as the infection…read moreclearly wasn't going away abscesses and pain. I ended up spending almost a week in the hospital on extreme intervenous IV antibiotics and ultimately had to have surgery to have the right breast cleaned out the abscesses and infection. I was never given an antibiotic on the onset of this infection from this, Office. The fluid was never-sent for testing and cultured an ultrasound was never ordered. I was left to scramble from Dr to Dr from ER to ER so I could find someone that would help me. The proper antibiotic could've been administered 10 months ago and prevented all of this it took 10 months for me to get to the bottom of what bacterial infection I had. I have been through so much pain and suffering. I cannot even begin to tell you. Be very cautious. Everything' is fine until there's a problem you're on your own!

I don't know where to begin. I had breast reduction surgery on May 6, 2025 today is January 1,…read more2026. As I sit here and compose this post, I am still in Pain. It has been an ongoing ordeal. I noticed the first onset of something festering around June 6, 2025 about a month after the surgery. I had a scabby very painful area that I took a photo of and sent to the office and informed them of the pain.. I was told to just put vitamin E ointment on it it was just a spit stitch. That stitch turned into cellulitis, which caused me to have to go to Urgent Care and to the ER To have a drained. Twice. After two rounds of heavy duty antibiotics for 10 days and shots of antibiotics I thought maybe I was going to ok. The ER doctor suggested that I go back to Dr sessions to have additional drainage performed to prevent the pus from building up and bursting. I went back to Dr sessions unfortunately, he did not drain it. The Abscess ended up bursting later that night. It became an abscess the size of a half dollar. My primary caregiver has been proactive and trying to help me. I do not know what's going to happen. My primary caregiver says that it probably needs to be opened back up As he thinks that there are tunnels that have formed... from the infection, not being treated immediately. I cannot recommend in Good merit this establishment. The pain that I am feeling right now I cannot begin to tell you. Please take care and do your due diligence before you have surgery here he does not use drains for breast reduction, I had no idea how important having drains for breast surgery is. Until I have been going through this pain. From inadequate drainage. May have led to the infection. There were many opportunities that I was notifying them that I was having burning tingling itching pain that should've been a red flag for Any medical professional. Having a surgeon that is proactive and aggressive with respect to infections is very important.

I left a positive review sometime ago but find that I'm having to rescind it…read more I had a bridge (both 27+ yrs.old) that did crack but was manageable. Dr. Olinger suggested I have an implant (actually two) and directed his staff to check with my insurance. They were given a verbal approval so we proceeded with the process. When the billing was submitted, the insurance company denied payment. Through almost a year of fighting with them, my husband ended up having to seek possible litigation to have the matter resolved. It was finally approved because a verbal was given but not a written approval. The implants were finally completed. I was happy with them until recently when I started having jaw pain on the left and crown pain (#29) next to the implant (30). Dr. Olinger has recently sold his practice to another dentist and his new staff worked hard to give me relief. When I asked about the jaw pain I was told that I probably needed another mouth guard for TMJ. Now we're a combined family and the ex Mrs. P goes to the same practice as well as the adult children. I thought nothing of this arrangement as I was the newcomer, but I DO have issues when the staff tells me that "%^$#" missed their appt. or "*(&^%$ was just in here". Really!! They're adults...none of my business! I had a follow up visit with Dr. Olinger to check the crown. I told him my concerns and he stepped away from my chair and yelled to the staff, "???, can you get me "*%$#!" x-rays? The ex's name...Are you kidding me? When I called him on it, he apologized profusely and said "it was a habit". I've been going there since 2010 and you would think he would have gotten it by now!! I sought referrals from friends for a new dentist and had my first appointment this morning with a great practice. They called Dr. Olinger's office for my dental records and any x-rays that they could provide. I was told that I hadn't had a full mouth x-ray since 2010! Dr. Olinger's practice had only concentrated on the money makers...the implants! The x-rays were performed and it was discovered that the crown Dr. Olinger had said "looked good" is actually cracked and needs fixed. The TMJ? The molar (15) next to the new implant (14) is decayed and quite possibly can't be fixed. I run the risk of losing several teeth due to neglect on Dr. Olingers part and possibly having them replaced with implants that my insurance doesn't cover. They didn't in the first place!!! Sharing ANY information about someone else (family or not!) is a direct HIPAA violation. I believe that being Dr. Olingers patient since 2010 with all the issues, shows I'm a patient and forgiving consumer. There just comes a time when you say enough is enough. I'm done.
