I had been going to a podiatrist in Modesto for about seven years. He went to a medical group that does not take my insurance so I headed back to Dr Patino (who I had seen in the past, about 30 years ago & whose medical records were SO detailed that they were extremely beneficial in my getting approved for Social security disability on my first application AND without an attorney. Furthermore, Dr. Patino did not charge me one single dime for his time In completing the government paperwork, although he was certainly entitled to do so.
He is by far the most caring, competent, friendly, patient, and empathetic doctor I have encountered in at least three decades.
I thought my previous podiatrist was the cat's pajamas. Dr Patino performs services for me that my former podiatrist flat out refused. He takes at least twice as long as my last guy.
Oh and did I mention my former podiatrist teaming up with one of the largest healthcare industries in America (disease care actually is more accurate) was purely to get away from the administrative hassles of running his small three doctor office? I'm fully expecting That love affair to terminate within a year and I won't be going back to him. I'm sticking with Dr Patino for as long as he will see me.
As far as the office staff or hours or putting the phones on the exchange, I've not experienced any of what Elizabeth A was bitching about. My personal opinion is the review should be about the doctor, Not the staff. If you have a complaint about staff sure go ahead and mention it, And if it's really horrific knock off one star. But the review is for the doctor.
It's our responsibility to know how to get To the doctor's office before we set out for our appointment. If we have any questions about Google Maps or whatever we're using to guide us, Then we should call in advance and clarify.
Elizabeth says her appointment was at 10:30 And acknowledges she was very late, yet it starts it's not her fault And the doctor should have opened up his doors during the staff lunch hour and seen her despite being ridiculously late. She does not know what his schedule was like for that afternoon. He may have been operating for all she knows. Or maybe he had a family member who was ill and had planned a minimum day. Who knows?
I do not do a lot of reviews. IF I COULD ADD A STAR, I WOULD. read more
