As a current patient, who is completely insured and who has always paid promptly all my bills to them and who just received advertisement mail from them the other day, I was denied services this past week. They claim to accept walk-ins, but when I went in his receptionist, Martha, interrogated me as though she was actually medically qualified to determine if I was important enough to be seen as a walk-in. And she did this infront of all the people in the waiting room. Her poor attitude and over the phone remarks to Mr. Natividad, NP made me feel like I was worthless as they discussed my reason for hoping to see a doctor that day. The end result, she told me make an appointment if I really wanted to be seen because no one would see me that day. I even told her that I was okay waiting if I could just see a doctor for a moment, but she still refused to provide me services.
Then I emailed the owner/doctor, Dr. Thomas, who replied back with the most worthless response about the fact that they each saw 5-6 additional patients that day and they were too busy to see me. Funny, because I was there right after they opened, realizing I may wait all day to see a doctor, and I was denied. But they accepted everyone after me. I have never caused issues for this doctor and have even recommended him to friends and family. Not any more. Definitely looking for a new PCP, even it it means driving across town. True customer service, doctor-patient confidentiality, and respect are more important than having a doctor near my home. read more
