I have always been well taken care of at this hospital

You will get only 26 min. with your doctor and he will try to get through as quick as possible. Your appointment starts at the check in station. If there is a long line you are penalized with a shorter time with your so called health provider. He will try to talk to you and scan his computer at the same time. Which means you and your doctor will not be talking about the same thing at the same time. Be sure to check side effects on medication on line as well as fact sheets from the pharmacy. Your doctor will never inquire about side effects of medication, it's your responsibility. My friend and I have the same doctor we had the same side effects from the same medication. He did not check the internet for side effects of his medication.He was admitted to have his throat stretched. I requested a change in medication. Both worked. Although his symtoms returned. In short your doctor does not have time to fully listen to your medical needs. He make assumptions not a diagnosis of your problem. How ever he will quickly offer medication to mask the problem because it's quicker and cheaper for Kaiser. What ever ailment you have or "THINK YOU HAVE OR STATE YOU HAVE" you will get medication for it. Making a list before seeing your doctor only confuses him. It will take you more than one visit if you have multible ailments. This is the short version. I may sound disgruntle but it's true. Maybe you won't get my doctor maybe you will. Good Luck.
