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.

WORST OFFICE I HAVE EVER BEEN TO. 0 STARS. RECOMMENDED TO NO ONE...., Mar 14, 2012

THE WORST OFFICE I HAVE EVER SEEN! 0 STARS! I waited for 1 hour and 30 minutes only to be called by a nurse and told that I would have to wait at least another 1 hour and 30 minutes with no guarantee. I asked the nurse why I have to wait so long and why no one told me and why my appointment was made so early even though I was not to be admitted for at least another 3 hours and she replied, QUOTE "Oh we don't tell patients, but there is a wait, there is always a wait". Their staff even had the nerve to lie to me and say that they were "filing charts" the entire time, which is the biggest load of bull I have ever heard. We walked out and I was angry enough punch through their wall. I was told by neurologists and many doctors to try to have less stress and this "doctor's" office did the exact opposite. I never saw a doctor, my mom left work early and I had to skip part of school, did not eat (even though I was also told to do so by doctors), and wasted an overall 4 hours (including the ride there) for nothing. I waited for 10 MINUTES at a HOSPITAL, but at this OFFICE I would have to wait at least 4 HOURS. That is complete bull and irrefutably disrespectful. Not to mention that they were severely overbooked, my doctor called for a medical emergency and I still did not get admitted, there was no space to sit, it was incredibly hot, and the conditions are just unsanitary and unfit for so many people to wait for no reason. They should be sued over and over for damages and closed by the government. Worst office I have ever been to.

Dr. David Dodwell

Wonderful, caring and knowledgeable Physician! Great Staff...., Feb 25, 2012

Very caring and knowledgeable. Patients are treated with respect by very well trained staff. State-of-the-art treatment of retinal diseases based on the latest research and scientific breakthroughs. I would not go to any other specialist.

Dr. Akash Ghai

Dr. Ghai's unprofessionalism and poor judgement almost killed me...., Feb 16, 2012

Dr. Ghai refused to have a heart cath performed on me at the request of Dr. Hess at Shands teaching hospital. I had seen Dr. Ghai about my malignant HBP. After several visits and a hospital stay he declared my problem was to much sodium. My resting BP was 167/110 at the time of my release from the hospital. I was referred to Dr. Hess at Shands for a 2nd opinion at the request of my family doctor.. Dr Hess indicated I needed a CT scan. He wondered out loud why this had not already been performed while under Dr. Ghai's care during my hospital stay. The CT showed I had Triple vessel calcification. Dr. Hess referred me back to Ghai to have the Cath performed. He felt this was necessary due to my symptons and family history(father died of heart attack at 49, mother had CABG at 62). He told me to have Dr. Ghai call for a consultation. Upon return to Dr. Ghai he refused to order the cath saying it was unnecessary. He said "I am the professional, Dr. Hess is just a surgeon". I returned to Shands were Dr. Hess had the cath performed. It revealed I had 5 blockages 752% or greater. I had CABG performed at Shands on 1/4/11. The physicians at Shands could not believe the lack of professionalism shown by Ghai. Dr. Ghai is completely incompetent. I would advise anyone seeing him to reconsider.
