Daren STEPHEN Primack's Online Review Report Card

Poor communications and bedside manner... also arrogant

The office is clean and the staff is great. The only downside is parking. They have way to many businesses and not enough parking spaces in the complex

I have had the pleasure of being a patient of Dr. Primack for about 12 years. I cannot express my sincere gratitude to him for helping my heart and I . I recently went into the Stockton office as he also has an office in Lodi, for some testing. My first test was a heart ultrasound with Chris as my technician. I felt very uneasy knowing I had to do this test with Chris. But within a few seconds Chris was explaining in a very calm manner how the procedure would go. We proceeded. My ultrasound went off without a hitch. Thank you Chris, you are an amazing gentleman. My next test was an EKG with Molly. What a sweet pea!! She explained everything about the test and what she would do and we proceeded. She asked if I knew about Afib and I confirmed. I was in Afib at the time. She contacted Dr. Primack immediately. A medication change was needed. Thank you Molly for being low key about my Afib. You made me feel safe and secure. My last test was the carotid with Ms. Gigi. Ms. Gigi is a beautiful person inside and out. Pleasant, explained exactly what she was doing and we talked about the migration of the animals in Africa. She made me relax, feel safe and secure and I got to see some real animals from Africa. I would love to go see the migration one day. My success depends on these people. They work very hard for me and I appreciate them immensely. Dr. Primack is an amazing doctor. I knew from my first visit back in the day I would have him as my cardiologist for as long as I possibly could. He has a calm and sensitive demeanor. He explains my heart health to me each time and every time. I also enjoy his Lodi people as well. They are courteous, helpful and kind. Thank you again to you Dr. Primack and you should be so proud of your staff, I sure am. Thank you 🙏🏼

Very good doctor.

This cardio is so unprofessional. If he plans to change a patient's medications, he ought to tell me what, how, and when correct? Nope. Rude, impolite.

Excellent & compassionate doctor

I did not feel like Dr. Primack listened to my concerns regarding a specific genetic disease and how it may affect my heart health in the future. Instead of addressing my concerns he alluded to me feeling anxious, and minimized the symptoms I was feeling, when in fact I was asking for clarification. Instead of taking the time to educate me, which would benefit us both, he left the room abruptly after I brought up my concerns. I waited in the exam room for over 45 minutes to be basically ignored.

No clear explanation why so many test were performed, and no prognosis.

I've never met such a rude doctor. Horrible bedside manner and doesn't listen to a word you have to say.

I saw him at his Stockton office Dec 9th, for a stress test, had 2 minutes there with him then while his staff gave me the stress test and 2 EKGs before and after testing, there was no problems, then today at his office Dec 12th, in Lodi I was to get the results so I thought as he did not release it to my doctor. I arrived on time after they called me the day before in the evening, and changed the time from 4:15pm to 7:45am. I arrived on time, and was called back after 5 minutes. I was taken back to the room, and the problems started with his assistant, I asked why I had to redo the same forms I did in his other office. A low level pain attack on my right side started, I asked for a glass of water, and took my medicine, you have to drink a full glass of water with donnatol, and that is when I got treated rudely, and was told I was yelling, and I tried to say, you don't understand, I can't breath right and I have to force the words out. I'm in serious pain, I haven't slept right in 5 months, I have to sleep sitting up, and get 1-2 hours a night. I told her need these results to take with me to Standford next week, he came in and said he wants to do another EKG, and I said why? I have had 4 done in the last month. He deemed me yelling at him and told me to leave, I grabbed my stuff and went to his office and said I came for my results, nothing more, he said leave, I said I will be complaining to the appropriate people and hiring a lawyer! I asked for a release form and filled out, and told the rude assistant to have a nice day and walked out. Then I found out he called my doctor at home. This is totally unprofessional, worst doctor I have ever seen! Most of his staff was professional, had no problems, just this female assistant and then him as I saw him for all of 1 minute.
