After second and third opinions with surgeons at Stanford and UCSF, I was told the cage was not placed right, it was oversized, not centered and off to the left, therefor compressing my nerve.

Her dad, who I have referred to as my baby daddy here on yelp, was laying on the floor after a long day at work out there flipping meat on the BBQ at Fircrest. He's really old, so he's a whiner. He creaks and cracks with every movement. So needless to say when our very large three-year-old did the cannon ball on his chest he was hurt. And many woman out there, Y'all know what I'm talking about. Men are winners when they are sick or hurt. ***That being said I just spent 2 1/2 hours on the phone no exaggeration trying to find a primary care doctor. He went to the ER a couple weeks ago but he is still walking around holding his abdomen like a wuss. Big surprise. No joke I spent 2 1/2 hours on this phone trying to find a primary care doctor. And yes we have insurance - we have excellent insurance. I had conversations with some of the rudest effing people I've ever talked to in my life. And I know I can be abrasive but i usually try and keep it light. Everybody hates their job these days I guess. Rude after another rude. All right I'm trying not to swear so I hope you get my point. ***I was just about to give up. When suddenly this ANGEL answered the phone. I shit you not she was a freaking angel. Not only did I not have to repeat myself 20 times. I gave her the same two minute run down I gave every other person of the details. Not only did I not have to repeat myself, which I despise doing, she did not ask me to re-spell our last name seven times. I couldn't believe how smart she was I offered her a job. She of course just laughed at me. And I was I ok with that. ***She booked my baby daddy an appointment for a week and a half out and she put us on the cancellation list. I was willing to let my baby daddy suffer for the next week and a half to get a decent doctor. Within 10 minutes of hanging up with this young lady - I was literally in the middle of writing this review. She calls me back to tell me that there's an opening for tomorrow at 10. COULD IT GET ANY BETTER!! ***Megan. If every business had one of you. The world would be a better place. I hope your doctor appreciates you. If it wasn't for you I would probably have no hair because I would be pulling it all out by now. Thank you.

However, it's gotten to the point where the bad is REALLY bad, and they need to be shared publicly in the hopes that things will change, personnel-wise, because I am ready to change doctors over this. First, I should say that the one silver lining is Chris, the receptionist, who excels at customer service and patient care. I am always greeted warmly by name, and Chris puts forth extra effort to accommodate us from the second we get into the waiting room for our appointment to the minute we're leaving out the door. She is so great at her job and maintaining that "family practice" feel. The same can't be said about Dione, the office manager. She is actually MARRIED to Dr. Affleck, and thinks we don't know. Trust me; we know. But because she thinks we don't, she tries to get away with things that she knows better than to do. For example, she never actually provides requested documentation (like letters for work release and school permission forms) in a timely matter. Even worse, she rarely fills medications on time, which I have the pharmacy print-outs to prove. I have lost count of how many times she has forced me to come back into the office with blatantly untrue arguments about how the prescription was never received. Forcing patients to jump through hoops kind of seems to be her standard operating procedure; I have been forced to make numerous "follow-up" appointments during the check-out procedure just to have the doctor answer a simple question that should not necessitate another office visit at her insistence that Dr. Affleck requested it. And more than once, I met with a very confused provider, asking ME why I made an appointment to see him when either a few minutes at my last appointment or a separate phone call could have resolved my question. Eventually, I realized that is her endgame--they can't bill my insurance for a phone call, so the only way answering my question has any value is if they can charge for it. Considering I have never actually seen the doctor on time and my average wait time has been between 45 and 60 minutes every time, it just adds so much insult to injury. Really, what it comes down to is that Dione sees all of us as moneymakers. That's it. She doesn't even respect that we are people with our own lives and privacy needs. In example, basic confidentiality rules don't seem to compute with her. I have heard her talk about other patients--by full name!--complaining to Chris about how they irritated her. I have no doubt I'm one she's complained about to others too because the last time she told me I needed to make an appointment to get a question answered, I threw a fit and absolutely refused to let her bully me into forking over yet another unnecessary co-pay. I reminded her that since they kept me waiting for almost an hour, they could give me an additional five minutes to get my question answered versus trying to force me into yet another appointment. This review is already longer than I meant it to be, but please WAKE UP, Dr. Affleck! Dione is damaging your business from the inside out. So many of us are ready to find a new practice over her behavior but don't really want to leave you.
