My partner suffers with pulmonary fibrosis and chose Dr Walters as his PCP when we moved here a year and a half ago. He likes him as a person but now in hindsight, we realize that Dr Walters has not been actively treating his disease, misleading him that he's healthier than he actually is and has basically abandoned his care. My partner had a CT Scan in December and has been trying to get the results ever since. Dr Walters never returns any of the phone calls made to get the results. We were then told that we needed to schedule a Tele-Health call in order to get the results and made the appointment for 2 weeks ago and the doctor never called even though we sat here all day waiting for the call. The nurse said the next day that the doctor did call and got no answer but there's no record of it on the phone. Even if he did and couldn't get through, why wouldn't he follow up until he did get through? What if the patient was incapacitated or was laying at home dead? We finally contacted the radiology lab directly and got the test results (which we weren't told we could do) which show his condition is seriously worse. So the doctor has known this since December and not told his patient! Yesterday I had to take him to St John's as his breathing got so bad and he's now on steroid therapy. It's clear that he should have been on medication, respiratory therapy AND referred for clinical trials this whole time but Walters has just been telling him he's fine. On top of this, my partner has lost an extreme amount of weight and Dr Walters just kept telling him how healthy he is. He's now just skin and bones, eating like a bird and Walters has done nothing, including not prescribing an appetite stimulant. This is patient abandonment and negligence and we've now filed a complaint with the Medical Board of California. The Pulmonologist on staff at the hospital also tried to contact Walters and left a message that he was treating one of his patients and Walters couldn't be bothered to return his calls either. read more
