  Buyer Beware This Dr. barely takes time to talk to the patient, then blindsides the family member...., Feb 9, 2012

I took my Mom in for a migraine. She had not slept for five days because of it and was hallucinating. Dr. Gagan didn't consider that her blood pressure meds. or her migraine meds or the meds they were giving her in an I. V. could have caused this. Or the fact that her thyroid was off. He recommended Resperidal for her. He left the info with me and split, his visit with her all of two minutes or so. I read the med. info and thought he was trying to kill her. It was for schizophrenics mainly. He also said it was for depression. I told him the next day I thought she just needed some sleep. He returned the next day pushing the same drug. I again answered in the negative. A few hours later the pill came via the nurse. At that point I thought I had no choice, as my last two answers had gone unnoticed. I foolishly gave my Mom the med. She became paranoid and scared for her life for the next three days. I was told they didnt know if she would ever be the same. She had two seizures and is now on Keppra. His only reply was that he could give her a different set of meds. He is cold and easily offended. He left me and the other Dr.s and nurses to clean up his mess. It took us eight days total. All over a migraine. All Dr.s covered for him. I'll never forgive myself for not fighting him to the death if thats what it took to defend my helpless Mom.
  Staff does not call to alert patients of problems. ..., Jan 19, 2012

After 5 years as a patient, I made one late payment. The payment was in excess of $100.00 despite my usual $40.00 co-pay. Maybe Dr Leon's staff didn't submit to Aetna. I paid anyway. Months later, they refused to renew a refill and told me that I needed to pay cash for appointments now. They never contacted me about this. Rather, they let me run out of medication and then refused to refill. I had to miss classes that day and find a new GI. My GP was nice enough to authorize enough medication over the phone (on good faith that my labs had been good lately, which they were) until the visit with my new GI. That was lucky, many GPs won't do that, and I am currently stuck with ASU's GPs. Dr Leon's actions were negligent and unethical. I am looking into what legalities this may violate, and will press charges. To this date, Dr Leon had shown himself to be a fine physician, but this incident is unforgivable. His staff had always been a little dodgy. One of his staff tole me she would talk to Dr Leon to see if he would use a little discretion in this instance. I doubt that she did.
  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.
  Overall experience has been fantastic and would to recommend her to anyone...., Nov 21, 2011

I'm a new patient of Dr.Kiran and my overall experience has been fantastic. She is extremely knowledgeable and up to date on current treatments and medications. Her bedside manner is the absolute best. I have complete confidence in her ability treat any of my medical needs
  The rude and Incompetent staff of Dr. Burke makes a good doctor ineffective..., Sep 27, 2011

In my opinion, Dr. Burke's office staff is the worst I have seen in my 70 plus years. I gave the office manager a report from my surgeon that indicated I may have bone cancer. I made sure that the office manager understood the urgency of the matter. The doctor did not see the report for two months. Upon reading the report, she wanted me to get a triple scan of some sort immediately which I did. The results were positive, but I did not receive this information for another 19 days. I don't think it should take 2 ½ months to accomplish this task. The office staff is RUDE, RUDE, RUDE, RUDE, RUDE and incompetent! Dr. Burke appears to unconditionally support her staff. My only regret that I didn't leave before now.
