  Very unprofessional and disrespectful office staff ..., Apr 11, 2012

I have an appointment last April 5 at 6pm. I came and waited... the office was closed. I was outside with other patients waiting for them to open the door. 6:20 i called the office and the lady who answered the phone put me on hold for about 5 minutes and just to tell me that the office is closed and they give everyone a call to let us know that the office is closed. I was home the whole day the day before and the day itself but didnt get any calls from them. I called the following day to make a complain and the lady who answered the phone is soooo MEAN! She told me that my name is not on the calendar and told me "You're not even in the calendar so why are you upset it is not our fault if you come over and the office is closed!" What kind of attitude is that? She is representing Dr. Kulessa in a very disrespectful and unprofessional way. I would NOT go back to that doctor again!
  Creationist, not Scientist, Overprescribes antibiotics..., Mar 19, 2012

If you want to wait forever to get in to see your child's doctor, to have anti-biotics prescribed willy-nilly, or to visit with doctors who believe in creationism and not science then ABC Pediatrics is your practice. My oldest daughter has constant sinus infections, so I took her to an allergist to see if there was an environmental cause for her illness', and in the course of reviewing her medicines, lots of anti-biotics and a steroid. I have been given cause to doubt that she has been treated effectively. One Saturday I took my oldest daughter in for a sick visit, she was complaining about an ear ache, to the Alameda office, where I see that Dr. Gregory Guthrie has stocked all of his examination rooms with the creationist clap-trap, "The Great Dinosaur Mystery and the Bible." I had seen this book in an office on a previous visit, but mistakenly thought another parent had left it there. Now that I've seen this in another room, alongside with other tomes from the Bay Area Fellowship, alarm bells start ringing in my head. And a conversation with Dr. Guthrie, "I put that book in all my waiting rooms," and three different scripts for anti-biotics convinced me that I never want to see him near my child again. On Ash Wednesday I had a 2:45 appointment scheduled with my regular pediatrician, Dr. Tessa Perez at the Saratoga office, for my youngest daughter's 4 month check-up. I was finally brought back to the doctor's office at 4:10 (I have to pick up my oldest at school by 4:30, a fact I brought to the intake nurse starting at 3:30). I brought up Dr. Guthrie to Dr. Perez and she defended him, and proceeded to explain to me that she was a "conservative Catholic who didn't believe in evolution" and that everything that I was taught about evolution by Father Norris in my 11th grade Catholic Dogma class was wrong. And now it's 4:23, I have 7 minutes to make my 7 minute drive to pick-up my oldest daughter, and no time to get my youngest's immunizations.
  Savvy Marketing Machine - not what you want if you are looking for a Doctor though......, Mar 12, 2012

I posted a FACTUAL negative review of Dr Kordonowy a week ago. He pulled it down almost as fast as it was published! AMAZING!! In conversations with multiple patients, I have found several examples, from several patients, where Dr Kordonowy prescribed inappropriate medications for a given medical condition. My dad sees a VA doctor, and had - until recently, been seeing Dr Kordonowy. Dr K- has several times prescribed pills and creams that were deemed inappropriate by his VA doctors. One thing that Dr Kordonowy excels at is billing - and for an extra $1500 you can get him to actually VISIT you in the hospital if you get sick. Otherwise, you're on your own. This guy is a fraud.
  Beware of this doctor - on the surface, appears to be ok but actually not..., Feb 7, 2012

This doctor is not accepting of the opinions of any other medical personnel. She wishes to be the only person with a say in what the patient will do and disregards any second opinions that don't correspond with her own. Her staff is not friendly and has even been known to yell at patients on the phone. If you do see this doctor, I highly suggest you regularly request copies of your records in order to keep track of what she is putting in them. I was blindsided by the comments she made in mine.
  Medical doctors shouldn't make mistakes even paper ones...., Dec 16, 2011

I have seen Dr. Hoing for 2 years. She has always been plesent and kind however her ability to function as a docter do to her case load, in my opinion, is sorely lacking. She has made numerous mistakes in my healthcare and paperwork that has so far only cost us financialy. Her constant lying again in my opinion to cover her butt further complicates me attaining the healthcare I need and has added undo stress to our family.
