My husband had been…read morewaiting for three months to get in to see this guy and they canceled his appointment because the referral wasn't correct. They made me call to get the referral corrected, giving me a bunch of technical medical jargon to tell the referral department. This is something they should have done and they knew it but were just too lazy to be bothered it seems. Regardless I get it done and even though they promised to let him have his original appointment if I got it done that day (I got it done in less than an hour) they rescheduled him for yet another month out. So now we are at four months just to see this doctor for a meet and greet all the while his condition is getting worse by the day. So we waited, my niece took the day off from work to take him and we find out that they called him on Friday to confirm (his appointment for Monday) and because we didn't return the call that same day they just up and canceled his appointment. Calling as soon as they open on Monday wasn't good enough! SMH!!! Who does that? They are the ONLY doctor who does that and it is obviously for greed reasons. Whatever, I ask to reschedule and she says she can call me if something becomes available tomorrow (we have to arrange transportation, etc. we can't just up and go) so I say no can we just have an appointment scheduled out further? I also add that they shouldn't book new clients on Fridays if they are going to just cancel seeing as they are closed for call backs on Sat/Sun. She clapped back, "Oh you could leave a message" so they check them on their day off? Who knew? Then she rudely suggested (because how dare me be upset) that we could call our referring doctor and get a different neurologist. I said, yeah I think we will because you all are a bunch of -----bleeps! and hung up the phone. AnywhOo, that is exactly what we will be doing along with a complaint to his insurance company. These people only care about one thing and it isn't patients. What is really sad is that they deal with people who have brain issues with zero compassion. They have clients who may not always be able to call back within their given time frame NOT TO MENTION how much time and preparation goes into getting to one of these appointments! If I had not called Monday morning as soon as they opened we could have ended up going and being turned away! Not okay----- again, my niece took the day off from work, my husband can hardly walk, someone has to dress him, etc to get there SMH it is a ton of work! There is NO CARE for that or that my husband actually needs to see the doctor instead of playing games with an incompetent and uncaring front office staff. Avoid these jokers if you can.

I had a lumpectomy with Dr Peter Jamieson a few weeks ago at Desert Regional Hospital in Palm…read moreSprings. I was sent to him, in-network, by my insurer after a couple of lumps were found in my breast and the ensuing biopsy showed up pre-cancerous cells. Being passed along that way is a crapshoot so I pored over the reviews. Dr Jamieson's reviews fluctuate the extremes, so I'm making sure my honest one is here as testament. It had already been a long and arduous journey from the abnormal mammogram to sitting in the surgeon's office for the first time. Said journey had also involved a traumatic biopsy experience (somewhere else) that had left me with a hematoma and anxiety. Brief as the initial consultation was with Dr Jamieson, he was effective at winning my confidence in his knowledge and simultaneously managed to put to rest a lot of my anxieties. The support staff were polite and helpful and waits were extremely minimal. Staff also actually answer phones - no recorded prompts. Operating day went off without a hitch. Initial preparations at the Comprehensive Breast Center at Desert Regional Hospital, which included a wire localization went very smoothly. I was more nervous about this step than the actual surgery after that dreadful biopsy experience. Shout out to Dr Conston and Jessica! A big thank you to nurse Chantell, for all the welcomed hand-holding and genuine comforting. Getting to the operating wing, again, there was barely any waiting around. Staff were friendly, respectful, informative and efficient. The Doc popped in. I felt very comfortable the whole time. The anesthesiologist was smart and fun and her magic cocktail had my lights out before I ever saw the doctor again. I woke up cozy, what felt like 5 minutes later, feeling very rested and like nothing had happened but for curious clues on my body. My recovery has been incredibly fast and unexpectedly low pain. I didn't touch any prescribed narcotics, subsisting for a couple of days on Tylenol and ice packs. That's all that was needed and I'm positive this is due to Dr Jamieson's deft handiwork coupled with my decent level of health and fitness. Seeing the big, gnarly, old-school, stitches poking out of a large incision on my little breast has been confronting. But the incision looked healthy and calm throughout, no bruising or discoloration even. I showed the wound to a couple of friends who have been through this exact surgery and they were both amazed at how good and advanced in healing it looked. In time, I'm sure some topical Vitamin E and Egyptian Magic Balm will help leave it all a distant memory. Followup check up a week post-surgery, was fast and came with the vast relief of an all-clear cancer result. A week after that, there was another check in with Dr Jamieson who removed a couple of stitches before deciding the rest weren't ready. Finally, today, the rest were removed - closure for a precarious 6 moth chapter of my life. Hopefully, I will never see this man again. But if I have to have someone cut me open and stitch me up in the future, at least I know there's a surgeon, a team and a facility I can trust to do a good job of it.

This letter I sent to Eisenhower Patient Relations tells why I'm giving Dr. Wong this one-star…read morereview: To Eisenhower Patient Relations, The letter I sent to Dr. Wong through the portal, yesterday, summarizes the medical situation that I just went through: Dr. Wong, when I came to see you about what I thought was piriformis syndrome, with that large swollen area over the muscle, you gave me a Toradol shot, trigger point injection and sent me to PT, none of which helped, after which you referred me to Sports Med to get an MRI. In hindsight, sadly, all those pre-referral treatments probably aggravated the actual cause. The MRI revealed that I'd actually TORN my gluteus maximus, one-third of it, and there was a large fluid pocket above it that needed to be aspirated. Aspiration led to suspicion that the material in the fluid pocket was something requiring more testing and two days later, sports doc called me to say come into the hospital immediately, that fluid is a massive staph infection! I was released from Eisenhower Medical on Sunday after being admitted on Friday evening. Still on heavy antibiotics with a drainage tube and bag attached to my upper right butt. Swelling and pain, alone, can be a warning sign of a staph infection, according to medical literature, a warning sign sometimes mistaken as strictly muscle pain. At my age, that should have justified, for insurance, an immediate MRI that would have led to a quicker resolution and not put me at further risk of the staph getting deep into my muscles or my blood stream. Next time you see a patient with similar symptoms, you'll now know that there's the possibility of Staph as well as other options. Jonathan Bernstein Founder Bernstein Crisis Management ------------------------------------------------------------------------- In short, I was just lucky that my body contained the large infection area to a location where it could be drained and my Concierge Primary Care, Dr. Sanchez, has just ordered the drain removed because the liquid flow has dropped dramatically. In the time between Dr. Wong's missed diagnosis and the time the staph was infected and I was hospitalized was all time when I wasn't being treated for an infection at all - so it got worse. I ended up with a too-near-death experience. I loved the other docs involved - Dr. Sanchez, Dr. Chang the interventional radiologist - but I think Dr. Wong missed this diagnosis big time and the hospital should take appropriate steps.

Do not go over your 10 min Only 3 issues per appt. The office feels oppressed. No one looks happy and in 3 years no one has stayed My Truth : I really don't want to bash Dr Gonzalez and I understand he somehow has logic in his treatment of his patients ( me ) My friends in PS have asked me if it's true that he isn't friendly. My response is always " I just want a Doctor who listens and helps me stay within a good range of Blood Pressure etc My first year I found him aloof and controlling My second year he looked like he must have read some of his Yelp reviews and was trying to smile and dare I say it be kind And then came this year. I listed my issues as asked but he looked me in the eye and said I was out of time ( 10 minutes ). Make another appointment and come back. I sincerely thought he was joking He was serious. I left sad and humiliated. I'm 70 years old and not a generally sick or needy person I can honestly say I'm not coming back. Nobody especially a person with Great insurance and moderate intelligence should ever be treated like this. Again I'm not bashing him and maybe he is the Dr for you but being treated with dignity ( like his commercials on KGay ) is of paramount concern I wish him well and thank him for the 3 years he allowed my those 10 minute visits.
