Very disappointed in the lack of empathy and professionalism of this group…read more I was trying to establish myself as a new patient with Dr. Richard Day. I was going through a very difficult time in my life and missed two appointments. I called after missing each the same day and profusely apologized, told them I would pay the missed appt fee, and explained what had happened and why. Extremely unfriendly and told me they would check to see if Dr. Day would accept me and call me back the next day but did not follow up. When I proactively followed up and again apologized, was just told a flat out no. Yes, I missed two appointments and realize that the doctor's time is valuable but I did try to take responsibility for them and would think they would be a little more understanding, given my situation. But they could care less and were just cold and unfriendly. Thanks Cuesta Medical Group for treating me so poorly and making me feel like I don't matter with your callous attitude.

Everyone was so so kind from the front desk, to the technicians, and NP Hirsig…read more It was my first visit with a doctor as an adult and I was so nervous. Everyone made me feel comfortable and explained everything to me one step at a time. NP Hirsig was nothing but kind and really put me at ease with all of my worries. I would highly recommend seeing her. Thank you Bayview staff for the wonderful first experience I am happy to come back :)

Katrina Hirsig belittled me, blamed me, and flip-flopped her explanations and reasoning regarding…read moremy care. She said labs a specialist ordered for me "tell us nothing," despite my specialist recognizing a connection between symptoms, family history, and labs, and suggesting follow up. She did not return phone calls for over 10 days and instead made notes in my chart that I "refused care" when in fact she did not offer me care. So, I made an appointment in order to discuss my care, but Katrina did not come out of her office to see me during my appointment. I made a second appointment which she implied was unnecessary, repeatedly asking if I wanted to keep it (Yes, that's why I made it.). When I attended this meeting she condescendingly said she would, "Go over my labs with me again," when she had never discussed them with me. She told me it was my fault she didn't see the labs in the system (because of the lab I chose to go to). I could go on and on, but the reviews here already speak volumes--believe them all. Avoid this office at all costs! (Ariel in the office is great though, I hope she can leave this toxic work environment soon.)

I have recently been looking around for any neurologists who may have come into town recently. In…read moredoing so I re-read the reviews on Dr. Robert Price. After my excelIent neuro left town, I saw him once a few years ago and since then, that visit has really bothered me. Sorry to say the negative comments about him are exactly correct. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1996. Since then I have seen 8 neurologists over the years including Dr. Louis Rosner, the head of the MS program at UCLA and, at that time, a world-renown expert in MS. I also later saw his successor in the UCLA MS program. I had gone to UCLA for a second opinion to be sure of the diagnosis. I have had many MRI's over the years. Those 8 doctors, upon examination and review of the MRI's, all concluded that I have MS. One can overlook Dr. Price's repugnant demeanor, head in the computer and uncommunicative bordering on being obnoxious. But he had the gall to suggest that I might not have MS. I asked him "You are concluding that with no review of medical records?" He answered affirmatively. This individual is a disgrace to the medical profession. Too bad there aren't but a few neurologists in the area.

If you want a neurologist with the following qualities, here you go:…read moreSpends 90% of his appointment time telling his voice dictated software to "wake up" and "go to sleep" as he reviews previous history and current labs standing on his treadmill and not looking at you. If it were me I would do my homework prior to appt. and spend 90% of my time engaging my patient. Declines to address his specialty of possible MS markers. Panics when presented with other medical issues like RLS and adamantly defers to primary care. Runs batteries of blood labs with some indicating neuropathy markers and totally misses the significance which were later identified by my rheumatologist. With last visit, came to absolutely no conclusions ot suggestions at end of appointment leaving me totally up in the air. When confronted with this lack of finalized care I was told "I guess we can try something else" Was then told "I am running 30 minutes late so we are done". There you go, he is all yours.
