We had a recent miscommunication during our daughter's appointment. Their incompetent front desk said they had trouble pulling up our insurance even though they accepted it. I stayed at the clinic to try get a hold of insurance for them but spent almost thirty minutes on the phone with no success They said I was taking too long even though this insurance issue should've been dealt with on their end before we came to our appointment. We drive out 40 minutes just to see this doctor for personal reasons. They tried turning us away and we said we can pay cash. They said it was illegal for them to take cash because we initially told them we have insurance. Long story short, we were frustrated and left the clinic. We tried calling back to get my daughter seen. They responded by saying they were no longer taking new patients. We called a few times more and kept getting the same answer. The last time we called, the receptionist said there was an issue with our insurance. I called our insurance and they said we were black listed from their clinic and cannot call back. I just wished they told us up front and discussed about what happened instead of lying and giving us the runaround. They're not organized and they might not tell you the truth. Don't come here.

Christopher Cox showed no compassion or empathy the moment he walked in. His assistant told us that we need to get his discharge weight from dignity health as they didn't have this information. So I called dignity health right away trying to get this information even though they should be the ones communicating with dignity health to get this. I wasn't told to bring any kind of information when I set up the appointment either. Mind you that our newborn is 4 days old and my wife just had a c-section and we're both running on no sleep. Christopher Cox walks in without a smile almost like he's annoyed that I'm on the phone. I explain to him that I'm trying to get his discharge weight. I'm hectically on the phone and trying to listen to him at the same time and I eventually get the information. I put the phone on speaker so he can hear the weight. The moment I do that he gruntled to himself "why do people always do this?" Referring to me putting the phone on speaker. Then he gets mad because she says the weight in kilograms instead of pounds and then after all that, tells me we don't need this information and blames his assistant for even asking us to get the discharge weight. He then says he only needs the weight at birth even though my wife and I both gave him and the assistant the weight at birth the moment he walked into the room. He also was annoyed that we didn't give him his hepatitis B vaccine at birth (waiting for the 2 month period to give him this) and told us the state of California bothers him whenever his patients don't get this vaccine. Him and his staff all just seem like they don't want to be there. Also, it's a little understandable if the office was super busy, but it was dead and we were literally the only people in the office then. If you want a pediatrician who shows empathy and is enthusiastic to work with children, trust me do not go here!

We were then assigned to Dr. Corp - that year was the worst for our children. Luckily, we were referred to Dr. Gill. From the first time we met the good doctor, my wife and I felt a sense of calm. More importantly, he immediately made our children feel at ease. During appointments, our wait times have been substantially shorter compared to other doctors and we've never felt rushed when he checks on our kids. He's very thorough and is a genuinely caring person. To top it off, our son E is about to attend Kindergarten and his school requested that a Health Assessment be filled out. It usually takes 5-7 days, per Sutter Admin; it took Dr. Gill a couple of hours :) Oh and his assistants Tigi and Kelly are the best too! If Dr. Gill has an open spot in his practice, don't hesitate to go for it. Your children will be in good hands.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS I…read moremean this with no exaggeration whatsoever: I have never been so insulted, belittled, and infantilized by a medical practitioner in my entire life. This sorry excuse for a doctor does not give a rat's rear end about his patients, just their/their insurance companies' $$$. For my first appointment with him, which was the first time I was able to see a primary care doctor in a couple years, I needed a referral to a neurosurgeon for a very obvious spinal problem that I have from failed back surgery. Dr. Groan-felt here spends about 12 of our 15 minutes together going over my medication list (which I had gone over twice with the MA already) and then gives me the sorriest excuse of a physical "examination" I've ever seen, i.e. I got up on the table, was not even asked to remove my sweatshirt, and he listened to my heart/breathing for maybe 30 seconds, after which I was rudely dismissed. At the end of an appointment, especially for a new patient, I think most any doc would ask something along the lines of "do you have any other questions or concerns?". Dr. G? Not a chance. as soon as we hit the 15-minute mark on that appointment he handed me a lab form basically shooed me out and told me to come back in three weeks. Indignant, I asked if he was going to give me the referral to a neurosurgeon. He said we'd talk about it in three weeks, and when I pushed harder he condescendingly offered to write me an X-ray order, as if I didn't have X-rays, CTs, and two MRIs from the past year. Merely having the radiologist's reports for all of this was not enough, either, and he insisted he see the images himself before giving me the referral. What a petty, sad, miserable man to indulge in such schadenfreude. Oh, and after all that time spent going over my medications, my prescriptions never got sent in. It took six phone calls over seven days for his genius of a front office person to figure out she'd sent them to not just the wrong CVS, but one that had been closed for over a year. And the whole time she was convinced it was somehow my fault... Run far away; go see literally any other doctor.
