I've been asking Kaiser for nearly a year (probably more) to stop allowing a specific member…read moreservices rep to access my medical information and to stop allowing her to be involved in my care. No matter how many times I've asked, nothing has changed. It's made me feel powerless over who sees my health information, even though I've been clear about my discomfort. After surgery last year, I was barely out of the hospital when I found my primary care doctor had been changed without my consent. Neither I nor my doctor requested this. When I called to ask what happened, I was told the very rep I'd been asking to remove was responsible. This made it much harder to get the care I needed. I was assigned a new doctor who didn't know my medical history and refused to refill one of my daily medications without an appointment, causing delays during a vulnerable recovery period. I have repeatedly tried to get answers. Kaiser's own resolution letters say I can request the information used to decide my case, but despite asking multiple times, I still haven't received it. I hoped this would clarify why these actions keep happening, but I've hit a dead end. It would appear they don't follow their own policies and it seems abusive to allow the person I filed the complaint against to "perform" the "investigation." More recently, I was billed for an ultrasound during a back injection that my doctor confirmed in a message he never used. The same rep I've had serious concerns about "reviewed" the dispute and upheld the charge. I asked for a second review, not only because of the billing error but also because of the ongoing pattern of this rep failing to assist me. A supervisor reviewed it and still left the charge in place. They refused to remove the charge despite the doctor's email, and they also refused to remove the rep from my case. At this point, it feels less like a misunderstanding and more like I am being targeted. I'm not sure how many times I had to call before someone removed the charge. It feels impossible to get fair, unbiased help no matter how much evidence I provide. After everything, I honestly feel dismissed at every turn. I feel unfairly treated and pressured. I feel like I am being bullied. It feels abusive. Why am I forced to share my PHI with her?

I recently visited this clinic after finding out I had COVID-19, hoping to receive some much-needed…read moremedical attention. I arrived around 6:50 p.m., fully aware that their website states they close at 7:00 p.m. Despite this, the receptionist was quick to inform me they were not accepting any more patients for the day. I explained my situation and that I had COVID, hoping they might make an exception given the circumstances. However, she refused to show any understanding or compassion. To make matters worse, another staff member behind the receptionist was equally dismissive and unprofessional. All I wanted to do was ask the doctor if they could see just one more patient, but I was met with a firm "no" from both assistants. There was absolutely zero empathy, care, or concern shown by the staff. It's extremely disappointing that a clinic, which is supposed to provide care and support to those in need, could not find it in their hearts to help a patient with COVID. Their lack of professionalism and compassion is unacceptable, especially in a healthcare setting. I have since looked at their reviews and noticed similar complaints about their lack of empathy and poor customer service. If you are looking for a clinic that truly cares about its patients, I would suggest looking elsewhere. There is a clinic on Liberia ave that is way more profession.

Think: *perfect Feng Shui*, soft lighting, and a vibe so peaceful it felt like a spa--if spas were also armed for viral warfare. The staff? **Warm, helpful, human.** And then--*bless them*--the soundtrack of my youth drifted through the air. 80s and 90s pop played softly in the background, and as a proud child of the 80s, I felt instantly soothed. Whitney, Mariah, and George Michael were basically my co-therapists. I arrived 15 minutes early for my 8:30 appointment. At 8:25, a **gentle, efficient, and deeply empathetic nurse** took my vitals. She was kind, meticulous, and reassured me the doctor would be in soon. The office had *real doors* (a luxury!), not the soul-crushing privacy curtains of lesser urgent care centers. It was **immaculate**, with **Purell stations posted like guardian angels** at every turn. Good thing, too--because I was carrying **epic-level cooties**. A virus had wrapped its claws around my lungs and dragged me to the edge. I stood, teetering, on the cliffs of insanity, peering into the void. And then--like a heroine descending from the heavens--**FNP Jemima Désir Telus** entered the room. Light practically radiated from her. As I began to crumple from dehydration and exhaustion, she **caught me**, both literally and emotionally. She administered a breathing treatment with the grace of a healer from myth. She rubbed my back as I coughed, trembled, and sobbed. She offered water, calm, and unflinching compassion. She **sat with me**--a giant baby in adult form--until the storm passed. She explained my meds with clarity. Gave me detailed instructions. Told me to call her if things worsened. She was fierce, nurturing, and patient. A true **warrior in scrubs**. Honestly, I kind of want to invite her to **Christmas, Thanksgiving**, and maybe my next birthday party. Now I'm off to Walgreens. Should I be driving? Debatable. But I refuse to curse an innocent Uber driver with this plague. At least I've got **Albuterol on the way**. **Hail, modern medicine. Praise be to Jemima. Breathing has returned.**

I was told to take antibiotics only if I had pain -- which I didn't -- and followed those instructions. At the follow-up, Dr. Virgil Melvin was cold and dismissive. He didn't check my chart or examine my finger properly. When I pointed out a concerning bump, his only response was, "I don't know what this is. It looks fine to me." He told me I didn't need to come and to see my primary care doctor instead. When I asked for help from another provider, Chantelle Morales, the Director of Medical Support, stepped in with no background on my case. She accused me of causing the issue by not taking my meds -- without asking a single question or reviewing my chart. Her tone was sarcastic and condescending. When I asked to file a complaint, she gave me a non-working number and told me there was no other way to report the issue. I left feeling hurt, disrespected, and traumatized. I plan to request the footage and records from that day to document how I was treated with indifference and hostility instead of care.
