Harbir Makin's Online Review Report Card

I left Dr Makin years ago All he cares about is the $$$$

Dr. Makin was my doctor for over twelve years and then he dumped me without consulting with me the reasons he did what he did. I am diabetic plus other medical issues and he apparently did not care. I suspect it was because he thought I was losing my Blue Cross coverage and would be on Medicare. His actions were just when I was retiring. I actually have both coverages at this time.

Terrible experience. On my 4th visit the front desk informed me that the office was now only billing insurance as a courtesy. Um that is your job. And it was now going to be $300+ for a visit. Dr. Makin is a Horrible man. he was immediately angry because I hadnt returned for a followup which was why I was there. When I corrected him he yelled at me. I started crying and he yelled for security at first through the door. In front of the nurses and other patients. I was so embarrassed.

Dr. Makin was my doctor in Alaska Alaska and I have since moved to California. I cant tell you how much I miss his level of care. He is a wonderful doctor and I always felt that I was in good hands. He was VERY thorough and actually cared. You cant go wrong with him.

I was mislead in the billing. Dr. Makin ordered very extensive tests was supposed to be covered by my two Insurances at the end they bill me a high amount with the excuse that Medicare insurance was not accepted however when I inquired about Medicare Dr. Makin office told me that they Lab work was covered by Medicare.

From my first call to setup an appointment the staff is very nice and professional. I talked with a couple of staff members for directions etc and they were patient and informative. My appointment was handled efficiently by everyone involved. A thorough exam was given by the doctor. He took time to read all my information to get a good idea of my medical history. He talked with me to gather even more information. When I left the appointment I was well informed with followup etc. Hats off to this doctor and his office staff

Dr. Makin is a competent physician sadly lacking in ethics. If you want to be treated as a source of revenue rather than as a patient Dr. Makin is your guy Seriously the billing practices of this office are beyond the pale. Be prepared to be nickel and dimed to death and for every possible and ultimately unnecessary procedure and for every conceivable test to be ordered. If it pads the bill count on Dr. Makin to do it. CHOOSE ANOTHER PROVIDER

Dr. Makin is a very nice and thorough internist. He help diagnosed all treat my medical conditions. His staff are just as wonderful I would recommend Dr. Makin as an internist to my family and friends.

While Dr. Makin himself was informed and courteous the billinginsurance process is a scam. Insurance lady was not inno one was able to let me know they were not contracted with my insurance despite my insurance website saying they were and they were willing to run up $1800 in charges that they then charged to my credit card without my affirmation. I believe they also overcharge for bloodwork. Do not go here unless you want to waste money.

The staff is friendly and always willing to get me in when I am having a medical crisis. I have never had to wait for an appointment. Dr Makin is knowledgeable he refers to outside providers appropriately when needed. He is well respected in the local medical community. He listens to my concerns and explains things in terms a non medical persons can understand. He has a great sense of humor and bedside manner. I respect him for his caring personality his knowledge as a colleague.
