Matthew Campbell's Online Review Report Card

Rude, pompous, and arrogant man. Exactly the kind of doctor that comes to mind when someone asks if you've ever had a terrible experience with a healthcare provider.I had a phone appointment with Dr. Campbell today, and yes, I completely understand that this is a highly stressful time for healthcare providers - I am one. I made the unfortunate mistake of telling Dr. Campbell that I'm a nurse (I wanted to give him all of the information so that he knew why I was concerned about possibly transmitting something to my numerous patients). He then used this against me, and when I asked him a question, this man had the audacity to say: "Have you even done any clinical rotations at all?" How dare this imbecile question my competence as a provider when I went to him as a patient? I still can't believe how horrible that experience was. Dr. Campbell, if you ever read this, you are precisely what's wrong with the system. You are exactly the kind of provider who practices outdated medicine and does not foster a learning environment for any poor soul who has to work with you. Do better, Kaiser.

Notified via email that Dr.Campbell is no longer at Sutter and have to choose another doctor in network. I'd rather find out where he's gone and forward my records along. Great doctor who listened, joked and made patients comfortable. Sad to see him go but positive he'll pop up somewhere. If not, definitely keep a look out for him and his distinctive convertible zipping around town haha.Cheers!

Dr. Campbell is very likely the most knowledgeable doctor I have ever had. As my PCP for over ten years he has always been friendly, empathetic, and willing to spend however much time I needed at every visit. He has always allowed me to ask as many questions as I wished, I(I am a prolific inquisitor), and he has always been happy to answer them. He is a no nonsense M.D., no frilly fluff here, ( that's not what I'm paying for), and I could not be more pleased nor trust his skills more with my health. I have never experienced any of the "problems" other negative reviewers have mentioned here, if I had I would have found another doctor, ( exactly as they should do). He is an excellent physician and I would recommend him to anyone.

Excellent Doctor. Easy to talk with. Listens to your needs and helps you achieve your health goals. Very personable and a great guy. Looking forward to changing my primary care to Dr. Campbell. A++!

I had my first appointment with Dr. Campbell last week. Not only was he professional that you would expect in a Doctor bit he was very nice and easy to speak with. He really is a great doctor who I would highly recommend. Thanks Again Dr. Campbell for making me feel relaxed and treat me like a person and not just a patient. His assistant was very kind as well.

Great office staff! Dr. Campbell has great bedside manner and is very pleasant to talk to. He explained the cause of my injury, prognosis, how and why I should be taking certain medications a certain way and why he recommended other therapy modalities to help me recover. He was honest about recovery time and I think he may have seen the panic in my eyes so reassured me that I was already on my way to being pain free. Thanks Dr. Campbell!

No way.I had an intake appointment with Dr. Campbell as my new PCP, having moved from a different State. He spent maybe 2 minutes in the exam room with me. That is enough time to say hello, but woefully inadequate if you're talking about reviewing the medical history of a new patient.He said, "You're in good health, right?" I assume this was because I wasn't crawling on the floor speaking gibberist, and my heart is still ticking.After lab work confirmed that I had a UTI, Dr. Campbell prescribed an antibiotic that had 2 indications against my taking it. It could have killed me, landed me in a wheelchair, or caused permanent, irreversible nerve damage.I have found a new PCP who has great patient reviews. I would not recommend that anyone see Dr. Campbell under any circumstances. NO stars would be my honest rating.

I came back to Dr Campbell after several years. I was seeing an internist who was closer to my home. Finally, I realized that I missed Dr Campbell's kind and compassionate ways. I remembered how he always made me feel at ease. My recent visit was excellent. He knows what he is doing and is kind and caring. I have a medical issue that he is addressing, treating me both as a patient and as a person.

Pompous, rude, unprofessional bully.I took the day off from work today to take my father-in-law who is terminally ill, and fell 3 times a couple of days ago to see Dr. Campbell. When he came in the room he noticed I had my laptop opened on my lap and gruffly asked me who I was. l explained that I was his daughter-in-law and that I was there to support them and ask a few questions.He say's, "You're the daughter-in-law... why are you suddenly involved?" What the hell kind of question is that?I explained that I am acting as an advocate to take notes and help them understand and facilitate his medical needs. I told him I was also hoping to get a little more information about his medical history because a lot of it gets lost in translation when they try and explain it to us later.He then very pompously says to me, "I'm far too busy to go through his complete medical history with you but you can request a copy of his medical records." I explained that I wasn't looking for a complete medical history, but that I had some specific questions about his pulmonary fibrosis, diabetes and information about long term care. He said he could help with long term care but I'd have to request the records for his history. Then he turned to my father in law and started to tell him about his latest CT scan. I started typing those notes into my computer when out of nowhere Dr. Campbell explodes. In a loud and abusive tone he says, "I DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE to take notes, or use a computer or tape my voice in MY EXAM ROOM."He scared the crap out of me and I was completely caught off-guard. I told him I didn't understand. He says, "It's MY PRACTICE and I can do whatever I want and I DO NOT ALLOW it. No notes, no computers, no taping." I asked him how I was supposed to take notes so I could keep everything straight and he just repeated that he didn't allow it and reminded me that it was HIS practice.I told him that this was my family member and we were here for HIS health.That's when he shouted, "You need to leave the room."I couldn't believe my ears and I couldn't believe what was going on. I was completely shocked and mortified, not to mention embarrassed.I spent 8 months last year as my parents advocate while my mom went through cancer and my dad had medical issues. Not a single doctor, surgeon, chemotherapist, radiologist, nurse, therapist, technician or receptionist told me I couldn't take notes.But, out of respect for my poor in-laws who were also stunned and shocked by the out lash, I choked back what I would have said and done had they not been in the room.I told him I was not leaving the room because I was here for them. So I will sit here and not say a word and shoved my computer and notepad back in my bag. We were in there for at least an hour and as hard as I tried, I could not stop the tears from falling the whole time. I tried like mad to stop but I just couldn't get past the disbelief and frustration of being tongue-lashed into submission for doing right by my husband's parents. I was stuck. If I left the room I wouldn't hear the important health information that I had taken the day off work for. I couldn't speak, I couldn't ask questions or take notes and frankly I was having a hard time concentrating on anything between the tears and my incredible urge to put HIM in his place.At one point he had the audacity to hand me a box of tissue. THAT's priceless. After we left my 82 year old mother-in-law told me that he yelled at her one time and after that she was too scared to be in the room with her husband.Are you kidding me? She is the sweetest, kindest, dearest woman who couldn't hurt a fly. He needs to get a grip on reality. He needs to lose his license. At the end of the appointment he went to shake my hand and said, "I'm sorry we sort of got off on the wrong foot." I didn't say a thing. Wrong foot my ass. He is a BULLY. A pompous, egotistical, narcissistic BULLY.

Dr Campbell is very unprofessional MD in Brentwood. He doesn't care about his patient and besides he will get on the phone and screams at the people who helps his patient. As a qualified MD as he says he is it is so unprofessional for him to NOT understand the needs of the patient but screams. A two year old might understand the need of explained and Dr Campbell is worst then two year old kids. He shouldn't practice medicine if he has no compassion for what he does. Would never recommend him to anyone and advise people to ask around and pretty sure soDone could tell you his violent behavior. All the professional around Brentwood knows him and his behavior very well and he becomes the talk around town when there is gathering for professionals.
