I cannot believe the things that Dr. Dembo-Smeaton said to me at my appointment today. I have never…read moreheard so many dangerously outdated comments and recommendations. 1. Upon hearing I have two little kids, she said, "Oh, so who helps you with the children?" When I replied, "My husband - he's great and has a flexible job so he takes on a lot of the kid stuff." She replied (and this is pretty darn close to verbatim): "Oh yes, it used to be that women could stay home and take care of the children. But not anymore. That was better." [This was especially confusing to me since Dr. Dembo-Smeaton obviously works, so I'm not sure why her bias against working mothers?!?!) 2. I asked for a referral to pelvic floor therapy since after my second delivery I had had the common issues with leaking while sneezing/laughing. She said I shouldn't be running at all and I should stop lifting heavy weights (I do the Body Pump class at the Y - not exactly Olympic bodybuilding). I told her that these are things I love doing, and I want to get treatment so that I can go back to enjoying doing the things I love without worry about peeing my pants. She looked at me condescendingly and said, "Well the important thing is that you have two beautiful children." And I replied, "Of course I appreciate my kids, but I also want to not have pelvic floor issues, and I want to run and lift weights ..." and she just doubled down and said, "Well after children things change and the important thing is that you have your family." or something like that. I was completely aghast. Are women not allowed to have a life and hobbies and be active post-delivery?! I couldn't believe how she just blew off my desire to exercise with a simple command to stop running and just appreciate my kids. 3. I asked for an updated birth control prescription now that I had finished breastfeeding. She asked what forms I'd used in the past and I said the ring and the pill, then she immediately said, "OK I will get you Nuvaring." When I replied that I wanted the pill instead, she said, "But the Nuvaring is so much easier!" Not sure why she needed to argue with me over MY preferred method of bc. 4. We were discussing losing weight and she advised, "if you want to lose weight you really need to just focus on cardio." This is such outdated and WRONG advice - it's well established that weight training is healthy and good for weight loss and good for preserving bone density, among other benefits.

I could go on and on but it is enough to say that 35 years later, I still remember his gentle compassion. And now that my insurance will allow it....I'm going back.

Today I changed to a new PCP and experienced how thorough, professional, and quality care should look like. I was with Dr. Dembo-Smeaton the last two years and right off the bat she made me feel stupid. First time I met her, I came in with specific questions and she told me to calm down. I remember immediately shutting down. It was so bizarre as I was not hysterical, I was prepared with simple questions. I remember calling my partner and friends wondering if any of this was in any way normal. Insurance is difficult to work with, and I felt stuck. But I'm so happy with my new PCP. She identified basic things Dr. Dembo Smeaton should have addressed years ago. I was further validated in my decision to change PCPs when my current gynecologist was also taken aback when she heard my then PCP (Dembo Smeaton) wasn't following up with me post labs. That's when I realized I should be proactive and so very happy I did. We pay an insane amount for health insurance. We should receive quality care from empathetic doctors who are not only experts in their field but want to get to know their patients.

She listens, doesn't seem distracted or rushed, and has a friendly & professional bedside manner. I've had convenient blood work done twice and the office for that is right down the hall. Pam, her assistant, is equally pleasant and extremely competent. I've been contacted by phone and email with test results. All my appointments have been on time with the exception of this last one. The office is clean and tastefully decorated which one would expect in La Jolla. I really like Dr. Buchi and would highly recommend her to my friends and family. BTW I think its extremely uncool to give such a low rating to a business because you don't like the person that answers the phone. IMO Dr. Buchi is a 5-star service provider. I usually leave a message for Pam when making appointments with Dr. Buchi. She is polite and gets back to me promptly.

Most importantly for me, she listened to what was important to me and shaped the treatment plan accordingly. It's odd for me to provide a medical review but I do so in the hope Dr Varon can help you. She's truly fantastic. Post surgery follow up was also stellar and resulted in good referrals for me too. Thank you Dr Varon.

This review is for their billing practices and not for the providers. The doctors, NPs and PAs were…read moregreat, and I know for a fact, they're underpaid compared to other online medical companies. But this type of employee treatment from an Amazon owned company is not surprising. If you have medical insurance do not use them because they will bill you $199 per year and then you STILL have to pay your insurance co-pay whenever you see them. This makes no sense, as patients are being double billed and they are receiving double profits and no telling how much insurance is reimbursing them. Additionally, I paid my "co-pay"online and then received notification that I needed to pay my bill. So I called them and they said the payment didn't go through. So I asked what that meant. I know my card was not declined because my American Express card has no limit. Apparently, their payment system had a glitch, I guess. When I looked at my receipt closely, it said $0 was processed. Who sends a receipt for zero dollars? Insane. If you must use them, tell them you don't have health insurance. Also google NPR regarding their article of one medical putting profits over patients.
