Emad G. Tadros's Online Review Report Card

compassionate

I am an NP student who has been working with Dr. Tadros for almost a year now. I must say, he really cares about his patients and has their best interest at heart. He has so much experience and knowledge. He's one of the hardest working doctors I know. A lot of nurses trust him and are under his care. He's a great person and as a future provider, I appreciate him.

Dangerous, unfamiliar with current practice guidelines on treating elderly patients. He also lacks an empathy gene- treated my family member with an alarming level of distain and disrespect. Not only is he a bad doctor, he's a nasty little man. I hope he ends up a patient one day so he can experience the fear and frustration of being entirely dependent on someone like him.

If there’s one thing that’s certain after being his patient for over a year, it’s that Dr. Tadros doesn’t care about anyone. He never remembers who you are. He cuts you off multiple times while speaking. He has been outwardly sexist and rude not only to me, but to his staff, and nurse practitioner. I’ve seen it happen first-hand, multiple times. If you are looking for a doctor that will treat you with respect and care, do not see him. I would never recommend him to anyone, let alone those that are vulnerable and in need of someone who actually cares about you. I have come across doctors with poor bedside manner but I have never felt more disrespected and humiliated by a healthcare professional than how he treated me. I finally left as his patient after he coerced me into telling him I wanted to overdose. Had I actually had those thoughts, he would have definitely increased them. I honestly can not comprehend what his reasoning for that was, besides to be cruel and see if I’d break. But I’ve been battling my mental health issues since I was a teenager, and although no one has ever made me feel worse than he has, I know who I am and that I want to be alive. Shame on him.

Dr. Tadros does not care in the slightest about his patients, or the people he works with. He doesn’t know who you are even after being his patient for over a year. He talks down to his employees and nurse practitioner in front of his patients. I’ve seen it happen multiple times. I’ve never seen a doctor be so outwardly sexist before. He cuts you off while you’re talking, and I finally ended our sessions for good once he baited me and tried to get me to say I wanted to overdose. He pressured me to say that I wanted to. It was horribly triggering and the farthest from the truth. I would never recommend him to anyone, especially those that are vulnerable and in need of actual assistance, care, and respect.

Dr Tadros and Emily are great, but unfortunately the secretary treated me in a very rude and unprofessional way. After being a loyal patient for almost a year who always arrives on time to the appointments, I mistakenly missed an appointment which I scheduled with the secretary on the phone. She said June 25th, and I thought I heard June 26th and even took the day off from work especially for that. She insisted on charging me a $75 no show fee, which I understand, and paid of course. But her attitude was completely disrespectful. She threw it on me as if she was some debt collecting clerk and not a secretary in a psychiatrist office in which some compassion is necessary for her position. When I tried to explain the reason for my no show, she lashed out and said that I should've known that the office is closed on Wednesdays, all patients know that, and if I would've called I would've heard it on the office's voicemail. With eyes full of tears, I told her I was very disappointed of her attitude. Her response was that she's been working at the social services field for years, and that she didn't charge me a dime for my last 3 appointments. (Which is false) I walked in to Emily's room with eyes full of tears, not able to talk. Therefore, I will no longer use Dr. Tadros's services.

To whom it may concern: I was referred by my psychologist to seek treatment from a psychiatrist by the name of Emad Tadros, M.D, office located on 4060 Fourth Avenue San Diego, CA. On July 9th @ 3:00 p.m I visited Dr. Tadros and during my visit I felt disrespected. I went in due to severe depression and suicidal thoughts. I am multiply diagnosed with anxiety, panic attacks, P.T.S.D, clinical depression. When I went to see the doctor, he asked me what medications I was talking. I gave him a printed list of my current medications because because I have bad memory due to my depression. I placed the paper on his desk, he grabbed it and shoved it back at me, he said "you think my patients don't know what they are taking." I cannot be your doctor if you don't know what you are taking." I then said "ok, ok. next time I will remember" I didn't want to lose a doctor. I felt that I wasn't helped and my suicidal thoughts increased, after I left his office I had a strong urge to jump off the overpass. I left there worse than I came in as. I felt overwhelmed, more depressed, disrespected and my panic attacks increased. During my visit, the doctor continued to raise his voice at me. I am complaining due to his unethical conduct, anger issues, unprofessional conduct and verbal abuse. I suffered at the hands of this Dr. I thought I could trust him with my problems. I am writing this letter complaining in the hopes that Dr. Tadros is reprimanded for his actions so he is not allowed to this to another patient that is suicidal like I was. Please tend to this matter before another patient ends up dead due to his verbal abuse. Respectfully, Silvia Baltodano
