Normelena Rios's Online Review Report Card

Can I leave zero stars for this doctor? If I could I would. Terrible. Came in for my third trimester screening because my normal OB wasn’t available, and she was 45 minutes late. Didn’t do a full exam. Was hurting me while measuring my stomach ! Trying to go very fast instead of taking her time. Did no ultrasound. Just brought in a Doppler. Who wants to see a Doppler on their THIRD TRIMESTER CHECKUP? All in all 0 zeros stars. Very rude. Turns out I had a bacterial infection that she completely missed because she failed to run tests and do the proper tests after I told her my symptoms.

One of the first doctors to actually listen to me!

Dr. Rios works at Kaiser Pleasanton, When I first met her, she came across as a nice doctor. However... After I could not schedule an appointment with my doctor( he was off )to discuss my possible surgery, I made an appointment with Dr. Rios. I wanted only her opinion. However part , she had assumed that I wanted her to operate on me because after that visit, she started harassing me to have surgery with her. After I politely declined, she decided to punish me for that. In a telephone appointment with Rios, I asked for ultra sound but she stated that unless I schedule a surgery, she cannot order ultrasound. I was shocked. My friend was next to me so I passed the phone to him because I was too shocked to continue talking to her. She got confused, not expecting someone else would be on the phone and spend the next 40 minutes talking and talking, repeating herself multiple times . My friend did not have chance to say a word.. I thought that Dr. Rios was different than the rest of Kaiser doctors ( most of whom are arrogant and just a pitiful excuse for doctors).... It turned out she was worst. A vulture hungry for hysterectomies...why not ? Probably they pay her well to castrate women.. Disgusting..
