Dr Cataldo is nice but his office needs some major improvement! I told my husband to dump this office years ago but maybe he will after this latest foul up.

At first I almost thought I wouldn't be able to be seen at this office, as my referring doctor told…read moreme that based on my hospital records, the rheumatologists at Eureka Internal Medicine didn't believe that I actually have the disease I was diagnosed with in the hospital. It took 8 months before I was able to see Dr. Rubio, and when I finally did it was like a slap in the face. Not only did she make rude comments about my physical appearance to me in the office, but she also notated them in my medical records. After seeing her regularly every 3 weeks to 3 months for a year, I started to realize that she wasn't doing ANYTHING to help my condition other than refilling my Vicodin prescription, which wasn't even really helping my symptoms. I would do my own research at home, come to her with new ideas for alternative methods of treatment, and she wouldn't even let me finish what I had to say before she would find some reason why the solution I was presenting wouldn't work. For example, when I started to notice that the side effects of Prednisone were too much for me to handle, I researched an herbal alternative to the drug and brought her the information I found. She barely glanced at the papers I handed to her, and before I could finish my sentence she interrupted me and said, "Well that won't work because you don't know how strong of a dose you're getting." I pointed out the part that said up to X mg of the herb we were discussing is safe for adults, and said that maybe I could start with half that amount and see if I notice improvement in my symptoms, and her only response was, "No that's just not a good idea." Cynthia Rubio may be smart and diligent enough to graduate medical school and receive the proper accreditation to practice medicine, but she is severely lacking compassion and kindness that is required to care for sick people. I think she should be an accountant instead of a doctor.

Then she would not return calls to provide any clarification or additional information. Thankfully the doctors at UCSF cleared up the matter, and called Dr. Rubio to explain that she had jumped to unfounded conclusions. I know doctors can make mistakes, but in my opinion, there's no excuse for her rude and unprofessional manner. It's a shame that she works with young patients.
