Miramontes Judy's Online Review Report Card

My fiancé and I wanted to be set up with the same primary Dr. last year so we went with Dr. Miramontes. My fiancé has been in serious need of an ENT specialist and I have experienced mild digestive issues. For just under a year she had denied a referral twice and was upset when outside medical treatment was sought. We now have a new primary treating the situation very seriously. It seems that the main priority for Dr. Miramontes is to keep visits short and keep all treatment in-house to maximize her patients seen and increase her profit, instead of taking the time to listen to her patient's concerns and do what is best for their health and wellbeing. If you are a young adult with an undiagnosed health concern, she will most likely write you off as statistically young and healthy. DO NOT USE THIS DOCTOR!

Horrible bedside manner. Constantly interrupting and does not listen to concerns I have about my own health

She was incredibly rude. Terrible bedside manners. She wouldn’t listen to me. She wouldn’t order a specific blood test for me. She just kept saying that I need to trust my doctor.

I've been with Dr. Miramontes a few years now, given that I wanted to switch to a doctor who was female awhile back to more comfortably discuss some lumps in my breast. I was 22 at the time, and I something about her manner of speaking when I first raised my concern made me feel stupid. She made me feel silly for asking about it due to my age. I realize now that I've felt both interrogated by and not listened to each and every time I've been to her. A little over a year ago, I had to see a nurse practitioner because she wasn't available and I had to hold back tears during the appointment due to how understanding and compassionate the NP was... I can't say that Miramontes has not helped me because she got me into a breast imaging appointment, scheduled rheumatology for my unexplained pains.... but something about her manner has just seemed off to me and seeing these other reviews, I guess I feel validated to say something, and empowered to find a different doctor.

Not truthful, and I'm unhappy about her service

Not truthful, and I'm unhappy about her service

I felt very cared for during my visit. I was heard and my health and care was her priority. I am very happy with the quality of care I received.

Do not go see this Dr. she is rude and mean. She has no compassion to help others especially in her profession. I kept telling her that something was wrong and she brushed it off. Come to find out from other GOOD HELPFUL drs that I have a serious autoimmune disease. Stay away!

This is the worst doctor I have ever been to. She is extremely biased and insensitive. I am a teacher and when I explained to her my risks of CoVid in my classroom and asked to be put off of work she gave me a lecture that I need to report to work no matter what just like her and she risks her life everyday so I need to do the same. Only difference is I’m NOT A DOCTOR SHE SIGNED UP TO RISK HER LIFE not me. She was also upset that I didn’t want to take medication for anxiety. She hasn’t even done a physical exam and was already trying to write me prescriptions! She is irresponsible and contributing to opiate addictions no doubt. I was literally in tears sharing my stress and experience and she continued to lecture me. I have never felt more disrespected in my entire life. She is condescending and extremely biased and obviously hates teachers. I would not recommend this dr to my worst enemy! If I could give zero stars I would.

Since my terribly upsetting visit with Dr. Miramontes during which I pointed out that she was being rude, she has sent me a letter saying she will no longer be my doctor (firing me), little knowing that I was already searching for another primary doctor. (Guess I offended her) I found one and naturally, I wanted the records to be transferred to the new office. The new office lost my release (Yes, I know, but I am letting that one slide) and they told me to just go and pick up my records from Miramontes office. Well, Miramontes topped herselfshe refused to release my own records to me! The new doctors office had never heard of this! They are my records and I have a right to them! For whatever good it will do, its time to contact the medical board. At least they will have a record. This whole thing drove me to tears. Is Miramontes doing this for that purpose? BTW, I wish I knew what happened to the little boy whose circumcision she reportedly botched (read this in reviews) Is he going to be okay?

I hate writing negative reviews, but I feel it is my responsibility to warn others; DO NOT go to this Dr. She was my pcp for 6 years and for the first few years everything was okay. That is until I started to have actual issues and came in for more than a sports physical or infected ingrown nail. I have had so many horrible experiences with Dr. Miramontes within the past two years that I have left the office crying every single time. She never listened to me when I was suffering. She would speak over me every single visit and tell me I’m wrong. The last straw was when I went in to be treated for an early stage UTI. I’ve them many times in the past, so by now I know my body and can tell when I have one from the very start. I just wanted early intervention so I wouldn’t be in debilitating pain, but she essentially said “nope your fine” and refused to treat me. Less than 24hrs later I went to urgent care due to unbearable pain and was told I had a very obvious UTI.

I cant stay far enough from this woman from now on. My health plan changed, so I selected her as my new doctor, without knowing what I was getting into. The first time I went to see her she gave me a pap smear and I commented that it was uncomfortable. Her retort was Well, there are things in life that hurt a lot more, arent there? Duh. Then she says, well, Ive done MY job. I thought that maybe she was just brusque but things would get batter and decided to give her another try. the second time, she was so rude and unprofessional I could hardly believe it. I told her that I had back spasms and had been prescribed soma for it in the past as needed. I had not taken any in over a year. She retorted with that is habit forming. Duh. I told her that my old doctor had prescribed this for me for yearslike I say, when needed when Im really in painshe then stated Then you do have a habit. What? I told her that massages helped me most of the time and she said rudely then go get a massage. I had some information I brought to be added to my file and she said how come its not in the previous doctors file, like I was trying to get one over on her. Why would I bring new info to the old doc??? I had ear and dizziness issuesshe did not look in my ears, did not ask me any detailed questions but instead interrogated me about what other doctors said. All well and good I suppose but when I tried to explain my answers, she would interrupt and say Thats what I ASKED you as if I wasnt being cooperative. She used unnecessarily fancy medical jargon, I guess to impress me with how smart she is, and I constantly had to ask her what she meant. She repeatedly said I have other patients. Finally at the end of our visit I tried to ask one more question and she said I have other patients. Im not going to stand here and argue with you. That was the straw that broke the camels back. I told her she was being rude. She started reiterating what wed talked about and then seemed to forget and said what was the other thing? I told her she better see her other patients. Maybe I shouldnt have. I am so upset over that visit. I pay over $1400 for a PPO and this is what I get? This lady is rude, uncompassionate, unprofessional and obviously not a happy human being. I feel sorry for her, but sorrier for myself that I had to put up with that.

Yesterday I left speechless and in tears. I ran out of her office crying. I have never felt anything close to that in my entire life! She kept referring to an antidepressant I did NOT take that was prescribed 6 years ago by another doctor. Nothing to do w/the present. It was like an interrogation was happening. I simply chose to not take it. I felt better didn’t feel I needed it. She interrupted me countless times. Talked down to me. She could have cared less if I was dying on her table. I started to cry and she did t care a bit. Just keep verbally making me feel worse. Do yourself a favor and read reviews before you schedule. Now after reading her reviews I feel like I walked into a trap!!!! Her reviews are horrendous across every platform. How is she still practicing??? Also a friend of mine reached out on social media and said she had the same experience 6 years ago!—ran out of her office crying! So she has been treating patients this bad for at least 6 years. My friend filed a formal complaint. Obviously nothing has happened! I feel so bad for the next person she brings to tears. I hope my post here will prevent a few from scheduling. Judy Miramontes if you are reading this—maybe you forgot you took an oath when you became a doctor?? It’s time for you to hang your white coat up and seek medical help for yourself. Something is not right with you. You need mental help. I would like to say a few choice words here but I will not lower myself to your level. My name is Krystal Preciado if you would like to friend me on Facebook. I would like to know the step you have taken to report this doctor.

I went with her because I wanted to stay with Peachwood and she was a female dr. I was hoping because of that, she would understand me as a patient more. Unfortunately she is an awful dr. I signed the whole family under her as a primary dr. Every visit I go, i would have co-pays because I had private insurance. I would wait 40+ mins and only be seen for 5-10 mins and rushed out. I lost my job for 2 months and had to get temporary medi-cal. I had an appt to refill my allergy meds. I went in for my appointment and was turned away completely. The receptionist went to inform her of my insurance change and Dr Miramontes would not see me at all even though I took off work hoping to get my allergy med re-fill. I thought she would accept medi-cal? I guess not. I wasted my time. They no longer wanted me as a patient because of the slight temporary change. I went off to find a different dr. After 2 months on medi-cal, I got my full work health insurance back. Never again would I return to her.
