Yamamoto Ernest's Online Review Report Card

Dr Yamamoto has been my primary physician almost 20 years his professionalism is 5 stars he has helped with many health issues I have had from MRSA to his help with my rehabilitation of my knee replacement. Thank you Doc for being there when I needed you. Sincerely Guadalupe Perez

Worst dr. I have ever been seen by Last appointment he never look at me just staring at his computer, lost all faith and confidence in him… terrible bed side maner feels like is is retired on active duty !! Shameful !!!

Staff are amazing..Doctor Y very arrogant and dismissive with his patient's, doesn't listen ..

He is a good doctor, though typically he isn’t slotted much time so focused on one thing. The office however is a different story. It’s next to impossible to get through on the phone. Leaving a message means they might call back the next day. They want you to do the work for them. They refuse to contact my new insurance for verification and told me I had to drive over to show my new card before they’d give me an appointment. Using the apps for Sante was no help either. I am more than frustrated

Worst doctor ever… He let me go as his patient, without warning, didn’t see it coming! Got a hateful phone call from his assistant or front desk saying if I didn’t go in and sign something, that I already agreed to sign that following day, he’d drop me as a patient. I went in and signed on the day I agreed to, went to make my three month appointment today and they told me he dropped me. I have really serious health issues and he just doesn’t care. I’m 50 years old, type 1 diabetic, he didn’t want to see me for serious issues, if he did he was rude and hateful. He always answered questions with in a hateful or condescending manner, so I started taking my husband, he was still the same way but didn’t go at me as hard as he did when I didn’t take my husband. Neither my husband or our nephew will go back and friends if our that go to him have told us how rude he is. This man offers zero compassion, has a terrible bedside manner and fights you on filling prescriptions, if you fight back, you’re gone.

You come in, you explain why you’re there, he asks like two follow up questions and then he just asks YOU what treatment would be right for you. Seriously? I’m here for your professional medical opinion, I’m here for a diagnosis and treatment. Why are you asking me what I think I should do? That’s why I’m here… I don’t know! That’s the exchange we’re here to conduct. Appointments are rushed. God forbid you have two conditions to address, he will literally write a test script for the first thing on his way out of the patient room and ignore the second thing you came in about. If you do manage to assert that the visit isn’t over he acts kind of shocked that you’re taking more of his time than he planned on. He’s checked out. Just there to collect your copay.

I have no complaints - Dr. Yamamoto has been my doctor for 5 years - he is always thurough and doesn't rush appointments.

The Best thing about Dr. Yamamoto is the minimal wait time. However, he can be a little snappy with his responses. Also, I really don’t think he cares much about your health. He only wants to address one issue and have you come back again to address the next issue. This way he can use another diagnoses code which results in more money for him and the practice! Please retire, because if you had what it took to be a doctor, it’s now gone!!! The staff is decent that’s why I gave 2 stars.

I recently turned 65 so I looked on Medicare's website for doctors on my area that took Medicare. Dr Yamamoto was listed on Medicare's website so I called his office to schedule an appointment with him. The was 8 minutes before I was able to speak to someone. I asked the woman that answered if Dr Yamamoto was taking new Medicare patients. She replied no we don't take free government insurance. I replied I have Medicare NOT Medical and it is NOT free. I pay a monthly premium for the coverage along with a secondary insurance which your office takes according to his website. She said hang on and let me ask and put me on hold for another 7 minutes. When she finally came back on the line she said yeah we don't take your insurance and I never called it free. I said I beg your pardon but you did call Medicare free insurance before you put me on hold and it's not free. She said ummmmm no I didn't say that and then hung up on me. I don't know Dr Yamamoto because I've never met him but would never go to him because of his staffs rudeness!
