Cardiologists - Lakewood, WA

"The office staff here is disorganized and rude. They filled my medicine incorrectly then when I called about it the medical assistant was very abrasive and arguing with me that the medicine she requested for me was correct. But I told her I thought it was supposed to be X. So she said she would look at the doctor’s notes again and asked me if I still wanted my prescription sent to Kroger. I said, no, I’d prefer Walgreens. She got mad at me again and with a rude tone said, “Well, I’ll need you to give me their phone number then!” So I found the the phone number in less than 10 seconds and she had already put me on hold. Never told me she would be doing that. I just start hearing music. So I wait another couple minutes until she comes back and says “Ok, now I’m ready for that phone number.” The time before that was when I showed up for an appointment. I was the first one in the building with the first appointment of the day. I waited and waited for 30-45 minutes while other patients kept being called back who arrived after me. I finally say something and was like, “When am I going to be called? I have another appointment to get to after this.” The receptionist tells me that I have new insurance and it has to be checked first. And I said, “They called me yesterday and asked for my new insurance. Why didn’t they check it then?” So anyway, it’s time to find a new cardiologist because these folks are not cutting it for me."

" This man killed my sister by ignoring her symptoms and choosing not to help her because he told her she was young and would be fine. He dismissed every question and was BEYOND unprofessional in behavior and conduct. You offered zero comfort or kindess to my sister during her visit. After she could not perform a stress test due to fluid in her legs and her inability to breath, the staff showed zero kindness and offered no additional or repeat testing. Well, her primary care just sent her to the ER and quickly diagnosed her with a condition which was left untreated too long and caused too much damage to her heart. They performed the tests you failed to do. Unfortunately she did not make it within 24 hours of going into the ER. Mohan Kumar, you are a disgusting individual, if you couldnt help her you should have referred her to someone who could. Its embarrassing that you could not recognize her symptoms and wrote her off due to her age. If you are young woman, run. DO NOT see this doctor or your life could be in danger."
