Family Medicine - Dignity Health Medical Group - Oxnard, CA - Oxnard MisterBucks MoreBucks: I come in with my mother to the Emergency room, waiting behind a doctor too finish his conversation and literally jest about other patients that have entered. And the nurses or receptionist always laughing and always to be seem to have a good time while I sit here waiting 1 hour and more to get my mother seen! I tried to be polite to interrupt their conversation, when I was rudely over looked so they may continue their playful unprofessional conversation. I had to point out my moms major illness to get their attention. This hospital will not take you seriously.
Ventura County Medical Center: Emergency Room - Ventura Sarah Millikin: DO NOT GO HERE FOR MENTAL HEALTH CARE
āDr.ā Daniel J Firer was horrid to work with. His actions were abhorrent. I went in for 3 medication refills. I was put in the hallway on a gurney, mind you it was not busy. I came in for 3 medications. I handed him my entire medical records files and showed him the prescription bottles that I needed refilled.
He didnāt ask me my mental health condition, or anything actually. For one of the medications he said that āhe wasnāt comfortableā prescribing a 2 week supply of an anti-depressant SARI, Which is a NON controlled substance. He handed back my file, without reading a word of it. He put it in my hand and I let it slip out. I didnāt know what to do. I asked to see the on call psychiatrist. There isnāt one there. Even though mental health is medical care.
I was taken aback. I showed him the other 2 medications. I questioned him on why he wouldnāt fill the first one. I started to have a panic attack. I said that I wanted to leave and what did I need to do to finish up to get the scripts. He said āwell, Iām at your serviceā and left.
He came back and handed me back the bottles. He called them in to a pharmacy but he didnāt tell me which one. I asked him if he even knew my diagnosis. He cut me off and said that I was unprofessional, that he refuses to be talked to me further. Iām the patient, heās the Dr. Iām not the one who needs to be professional. I was needing medical care and denied it.
We had a 2 minute conversation. I didnāt raise my voice, I didnāt call names or curse. I questioned him. Period.
DO NOT GO HERE.
