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. |

Really wonderful surgeon and fantastic office staff...., Mar 18, 2012 Dr Goff is an excellent surgeon and she is also very kind and always takes time to explain things to me and discuss alternatives. She worked with my naturopath and combined standard medical therapy with alternative therapies and I am really grateful for the great care that she has given me. Her nurses, Holly and Heidi are simply the best in the world. |

Truly a new, modern American doctor. He should have studied law...., Mar 18, 2012 Dmowski is a woefully skilled, monument of inadequacy. He is a proud failure as a doctor who could care less about a patient; which makes him the poster-boy for all corporate physicians who came to the medical industry to create a lasting legacy built on cold, hard cash and nothing more. |

Fair doctor good bedside manor but not so sure about his skill level...., Feb 29, 2012 Upon arriving as a new patient I knew that there was going to be lots of paperwork as a new patient. I waited for over an hour after my appointment time just to be told that he was running behind. After my meeting with the Dr, I was very impressed with his professionalism, but not sure that he is the Dr. that I am looking for to treat my problems. I feel that he rushed the appointment after waiting a long time for him. |

Dr. Duggal and Staff at Liberty Bay Internal Medicine are highly recommended..., Jan 17, 2012 I have been going to Dr. Duggal for over three years. He has become my primary care physician although I first started seeing him to help manage my degenenerative disk disease along with numerous other age-related difficulties. Dr. Duggal's qualifications in multiple areas of expertise effectively make him several doctors in one, including but not limited to diabetes, hypertension, lipids and pain mangement. Although Dr. Duggal is an expert in pharmacology he also has Dr. Nicholas Wyatt, Pharm D working with him as well. The staff has all been wonderful in helping me with the scheduling of appointments and everything I've needed help with. I highly recommend Liberty Bay Internal Medicine with Dr. Duggal and staff. |
