    Nasty CLOTH chairs (in a medical setting)
    Ryan O.

    This place is a medical and patient privacy nightmare. 1. The front desk staff make no effort to be discreet in their communications - either, in person or on the phone. Yesterday, the woman literally spelled the person's full name (to whom she was speaking on the phone, their DOB, and phone number). I was in the furthest seat from the front desk and could hear her like I was standing in front of her. Additionally, there is a VERY loud woman that is always at the front that seems to be the go-to person for staff questions. She obviously enjoys this role and speaks loudly so everyone knows she is in control. Just annoying. Customers/Patients shouldn't be privy to any conversations amongst staff whether patient-specific or not. 2. It's filthy. What medical-based business (that sees patients) has cloth seats in their waiting. Even in times where COVID-19 is not a concern - it's disgusting and cannot be cleaned (which is evident in the photos). For COVID-19 they may have addressed, partially, distancing but then you sit in a chair that is potentially covered in it and it cannot be cleaned. The bathroom is nasty and the specimen pass-thru has a nasty, dirty paper towel sitting in it. Additionally, it seems as though every inch wall is covered in some flyer, somehtinh taped or pinned to the wall, and/or (one of my biggest pet peeves in a professional setting) using sheet protector (for notebooks) as laminate to hang something on the wall. All of these are just there to catch and foster growth of bacteria. Nasty. 3. Related to #1, patient privacy is not a concern. I had previously spoken to a manager/regional director or something like that as I reported this issue in the past. I was assured this wouldn't continue - but as you can see in the two photos it continues. There are usually specimens that belong to other patients in the pass-thru. These contain patient names, DOB, ordering practice/provider info, etc. This is a clear HIPAA violation and, as mentioned, bringing this to the leaderships' attention does nothing. Bottom line: CPL does nothing to prioritize patient privacy. Additionally, the cleanliness of the space does not make patient safety a concern. This is unacceptable.

    Very understaffed and very long wait times. Computers kept crashing. Staff is nice but CPL needs to hire more people.

    I had my reservations about seeing this doctor…read more Please note: although the website states he is accepting new patients, a doctor referral is needed to schedule an appt. Only after they receive the doctor referral will you be able to schedule an appt. I went to see him for a second opinion for a rash under both my armpits. His assistant evaluated the rash and answered my questions. He determined it was an allergic reaction and prescribed some steroidal cream. He did explain the steps he would take, which I greatly appreciated. $60 later, I find that the rash was ringworm and simple anti-fungal cream worked as suggested by a 4th doctor I went to see. The doctor is nice, attentive, and listened to my concerns. I guess he just misdiagnosed. Overall: 3 out of 5 as the scheduling is the biggest hassle overall (minus the misdiagnosis).

    Unfortunately I will never know if Dr Reichenberg is a good doctor or not; I waited 45 min in…read morewaiting room with no word from front desk about the delay to see him. I arrived on time, had my paperwork done is less than ten minutes and then sat and waited. At least two patients arrived after me but were called in before. The front desk was neither nice nor rude, but seemed unconcerned when I said I couldn't wait any longer and left 45 minutes after my appointment time was supposed to start. In the dark ages people were forced to wait an eternity to see the local medicine man; in 2011 we have options and our time is just as valuable as the healthcare provider. I refuse to wait for services when I showed up at the right time - shame on your scheduling and/or timing Dr Reichenberg.

    Do not go here. This…read moreclinic is a completely different place than it was when Dr. Debo was there. They lost their only truly excellent fertility doctor years ago, and now they have OB-GYNs without fertility board certification providing care at the same premium price. The approach is completely one-size-fits-all. Patients are pushed through the system like cattle. There is no individualized care. When I tried to discuss what had worked for us previously--the protocol that resulted in the birth of our son--I was told that this new doctor (a sub from the Dallas clinic) does things the same way for everyone. Apparently personalized fertility treatment is no longer a priority. After our transfer failed, they called to tell me I was no longer pregnant. Less than an hour later, I received a $5,500 bill for the next cycle. There was no discussion about my loss, no conversation about next steps, no attempt to understand how I wanted to move forward. Just an invoice. I am now transferring to a smaller clinic in Austin that actually provides individualized care, and Kindbody has made the process unnecessarily difficult. I completed all required paperwork, yet I am being told I must wait nearly two months for a 10-15 minute "protocol call" simply to give permission--again--to transfer my embryos. I find it hard to believe that a phone call requiring a simple yes or no cannot be accommodated sooner. One employee even told me there are "so many people transferring their embryos to other clinics right now." When I responded that this didn't seem like a good sign for Kindbody, she immediately tried to walk it back. That interaction spoke volumes. The lack of personal care became especially obvious during my second transfer cycle. Patients are literally referred to as "batches." You'll hear staff talk about your batch and how many women are in it. The waiting room is packed before 7 a.m. because they continue taking on more and more patients without providing the level of care those patients deserve. At the end of the day, Kindbody feels like a business focused on volume, not families. Fertility treatment is one of the most emotional, vulnerable, and expensive experiences a person can go through. Patients deserve compassion, communication, and individualized treatment. I experienced very little of that here. Save your money, your time, and your emotional well-being. There are far better fertility clinics out there.

    For starters, their communication sucks, relying solely on messages through their internal system…read moreinstead of contacting me directly. On top of that, when my wife was going through a two week long procedure, I had to take off of work to care for her during and after the procedure. I requested Kindbody to fill out FMLA paperwork to cover me for being out to take care of my wife and they refused to do so, saying that "the male gender is not eligible for FMLA." So, what I am getting from this is that I am not going to be covered for taking care of my wife during the time she is going through any medical treatment from this company. Do NOT use Kindbody if you do not have someone else that can care for your spouse during treatments in your absence.

    Terrible patient care!!! You will never get a response from…read morethem thru phone or website! Had to go to ER after a colonoscopy and endoscopy that was done! tried calling the office from day one of when the issues started and still have not gotten an answer! I tried the chat on website sent it on 05/03 -05/6 and 05/07. and what I got was "We will call you! " Then I get an email asking if I had the procedures at the ER! like wth did they not read any of my emails or hear my VM and to call a patient without their chart in front of them !! What a joke -

    I really can't believe I am going through this. I hate leaving a negative review, but in this case…read moreI HAVE TO. I have just spent the majority of my morning on the phone with insurance, Surigcare and Capitol Gastro--I need to vent because this whole situation is wrong. Let me start by saying, yes, I read the reviews. I now see that there are multiple Google listings for this practice. One with higher rating/reviews than the other. Overall, the reviews are bad or they are obviously fake. I was in need of a practice which was in network with my insurance. My primary care doctor gave a referral for a 45 year old first time colonoscopy SCREENING. I stress SCREENING because it is completely covered by my insurance. Any communication with the office occurs overseas. Very heavy accents, but hey, who cares? As long as they are able to schedule my appointment, I am not looking for a new best friend. My appointment got rescheduled. Still fine, things happen. Confirmation text was incorrect. Mistakes happen. Confirmation call, a new overseas caller. Day of appointment- overstressed front desk employee.I joked around about how many hats she was wearing and she apologized, saying they are extremely busy and she has multiple roles. While in the exam room, with paper thin walls, I overheard the two employees complaining about their jobs and the patients. Uh oh, RED FLAG! Dr Khaja Masi came in. Seemed nice enough. I was there for a SCREENING. I told him I was having reflux and bloating and he said while doing the SCREENING we can do an endoscopy and "take a look." Ok, you're the doctor. He then mentioned my weight and said he had a clinical trial he was involved in and thought I would be a perfect candidate. He said I would need a liver scan and some other procedure to see if I was eligible for the study. It started to feel a little pushy...I explained to him that I had restrictive insurance and I was just there for the colonoscopy, because it was covered. I did agree to the endoscopy, since he made it seem like it was a perfect opportunity to get both done at the same time. I said I wanted to hold off on the scan and he said "It needs to be done now or you'll miss the deadline." I felt like this was unprofessional for a doctor to suggest in the first 3 minutes of meeting a new patient. Dr. spent a total of 5 minutes with me in the exam room. Nurse came in and explained the procedure and said I would get a call to schedule. Scheduling (overseas friend!) couldn't get me in for a month. Totally fine, there was no rush. I got a few emails saying I needed to pay fee to the doctor before the procedure or it would get cancelled. Surgicare called me saying I needed to pay for the endoscopy portion for facility charge. Denise was helpful it explaining to me that even though the colonoscopy is fully covered, the endoscopy is separate and I would get charged for that. Fine, understood. Fast forward to day of procedures. Everything was great. Everyone at Surgicare was friendly and the facility is clean. Entering into the operation room, Dr. was there and was reading over his notes. No bedside manner. No friendly hello. It felt like he was banging these things out and had no time for pleasantries. Nurse afterwards was able to tell me that everything looked good and there were a few biopsies done. That I would hear from the the doctor in the next 2 weeks. I get a call a week and a half later from India saying that my followup appointment will be in 2 weeks and it will be a virtual call. During brief call I was told biopsies came back great and a polyp was removed. Fast forward to a month later and all the bills start arriving. Thousands of dollars in bills that seem to be my responsibility. After many calls I learn that my procedure was submitted with a code that is not covered. I CANNOT GET IN TOUCH WITH ANYONE AT THE OFFICE. Overseas man just wants to transfer me to Gad in billing and Gad said he has no control over Dr. codes. I am grateful the procedure went well and I am not left with any holes in my esophagus or intestines but NOW WHAT?
