Kamiel Michael B MD

I change Doctors and my insurance recommend Dr. Michael Kamiel, and when I made the appointment and came in, I signed in and was completely ignored, after about 20 minutes or so, I asked one of the ladies (I use the term loosely) So I filled out the paperwork and gave her my ins card, and about 20 minutes later another lady called me to the front of the office and told me that i wasn’t authorized to see Dr. Kamiel. I explained to her that I had changed insurance and Dr. and that my other ins card was in the mail, and she so too bad, that they would not see me, and I said well, all you have to do is call the ins co. and they will tell you and she nope, not going to do it, that they won’t see me until its officially changed, and I grabbed my paper work and said do bother I won’t come back and the nurse or whoever she was said good, don’t come back, we don’t want you here anyway. My daughter turned around and said what the hell did you say to us, I told her I (would definitely be back and be a pain in the butt, however I imminently called my insurance company and told them what happened and changed Dir.‘s and now I have to wait 3 more weeks for yet another ins card, and I have been very sick for 4 weeks and this is very discouraging, every girl in that office should be fired… bad attitude, bad customer service and no common sense or empathy. I would rather not have a bunch or morons taking care of my health, when they can’t even display good manners.

Horrible — I had a similar experience to all the other people here regarding Dr. Kamiel — he’s rude, crass, critical, talks about everything *other* than your symptoms — really, I’m not sure how this guy still has a practice! When I left his office, I was clear the next thing I was going to do was find a different doctor on my insurance network, so I only wasted my time and the cost of an office visit. There’s no way I would have allowed him to actually *do* anything to me. I simply didn’t trust him at all.

I’m giving Dr. Michael Kamiel a rating of 1 star, but wish I could give negative stars. I suffer from hypothyroid and was hoping to have finally found a doctor I could regularly see who could monitor my levels and medication, especially after still suffering from fatigue and muscle ache since taking medication. I scheduled a morning appointment and after 2 hours of waiting finally got to see the doctor. Mind you, I found out later that Dr. Kamiel sees patients at another location in the morning while double booking patients at the office I was at, which is why I had to wait to so long. When I actually got to see Dr. Kamiel I was literally in the room with him for 15min, all of which he questioned the validity of my symptoms and criticized my family being as involved in my health as they were. Last time I checked, having the love and support of your family through a CHRONIC ILLNESS is a good thing? The reason he made the comment is because when we went over my previous lab work, I talked about research my mother and I had done together on lab tests one who has hypothyroid should take. I literally had to list all of them off at which he criticized almost each one as useless.
Once we finally had a list of labs to conduct, I asked him what would the next steps be if the labs came back with nothing wrong? All he said was we’ll get there when we get there. Mind you while this was all going on, he felt it appropriate to show me articles he wrote for various thyroid books to ‘prove’ he was the best doctor out there, instead of talking about me, the patient. It’s been 4 months since I last went in and I have yet to receive my lab results. The doctor never called me to go over them and I called at least 4 times now to have them mailed to me or faxed over to a different doctor at which each time they never did. Never in my life have I felt like a doctor gave zero fucks about his patient. I left feeling just as hopeless as before, and now present day I am still without the lab results my insurance paid for me to have done. Dr. Michael Kamiel and his office staff are a laughable bunch with zero professionalism, and show no interest in the well being of their patients. I plead with anyone thinking of going in to save yourself and see anyone else.

Avoid this doctor at all costs.
I waited nearly two hours to see him because the office claimed they never got a referral. I had to call my PCP and my insurance company, have additional copies of the referral faxed over, and have my PCP’s office read them the riot act before they’d even take me back to an exam room. Meanwhile, both my insurance company and the PCP’s office claimed that Dr. Kamiel’s staff should have been able to look it up in about five minutes on their computer. The staff claimed they didn’t have access to that system. From what I have been told, that was complete bullshit, because every office has access to the portal. They just couldn’t be bothered, and sat there texting on their phones and chatting.
I wasn’t the only person they did this to, for what it’s worth — another guy in the waiting room was given the same runaround, and finally gave up and left after waiting more than an hour.
And then when I finally saw the doctor he seemed very, very off. He went to sleep several times during the consult and generally did not seem okay. I don’t know if he’s unwell or he’s getting on in years or what, but it was absolutely bizarre. He was hostile and rude and blew me off completely. It was a complete waste of a morning, and a referral, to see this doctor.

Unprofessional. It took two months to get an apppointment. When I called to make sure they had ultra sound they informed me it was my responsibility to bring records. I called my main doctor but his office recording machine full and no one picking up phone. I called beverly tower imaging (very professional) and picked up records. I arrived for appt at Dr kamiel office only to discover he was running an hour late. They had no record of my refrral and the one I had with me had expired, as it took so long to get an appt. I had gotten an extension but the had no record and they had to call medical group. Very disorganized, does not keep or follow up with what patients need, office staff gossiping in reception area. I was informed he was running over an hour late the staff was unhelpful they just advised to keep going down and put more money in meter.

After waiting 3 months for a appointment i went to see Dr. Michael Kamial today and trust me i have no reason to lie on this doctor. Dr. Michael Kamiel went to sleep on me 5 times while i was in the examine room i was in shock and could not believe this was happening. on the fifth time of falling asleep he almost feel out the chair and i was gone out that room so fast. i ask the nurse if there was someone else i could see beside Dr. Michael Kamiel and the anwser was no but she told me i would have to contact my primary doctor. The nurse was kind and friendly she did come back into the room with me and after a few minutes he had fallen asleep again. this is not the endocrinology doctor i want to put my life into his hands. I dont need a doctor like him to tell me i have cancer or i need to have surgery. my nerves is already bad and after seeing Dr. Michael Kamiel i feel worse.

The WORST, the WORST, the WORST. Steer clear of this office and this doctor. Absolutely unprofessional.
They don’t return calls even when you’re simply trying to make an appointment.
Forget about having authorizations sent to your insurance company if you’re on an HMO.
Dr. Kamiel even accused me (via voice mail) of being dishonest with him about my insurance situation when I asked his office to re-​send an authorization.
I originally saw him in May 2014 and here it is mid January of 2015, and of the 3 authorizations I asked for, only one has come through.
BTW, if you see him under an HMO asking for authorizations to see specialists, he’ll just ask you what drugs and doctors you want him to write for. No real examination of your conditions/​condition.
I can’t believe this guy stays in business. I wish I could give hime zero stars.

If I could give them zero stars, I would. I made an appointment 2 weeks in advance, I was asked to get bloodwork paperwork from my Physician (I was recently diagnosed with hypothyroid & hypoglycemia). I called in the morning of my appointment to confirm only to be told that they don’t see new patients on the day I was scheduled for. Then the person who answered the phone proceeds to tell me that I’m not Even on the schedule or have an appointment at all any time or ever with them. So, did I just makeup an appointment in my head? Somebody in that office F’d up and nobody would try and help me. I’ll be looking for a new doctor. If I can’t trust the front office staff, how can I trust the doctor? Not to mention that their office hours are not listed anywhere and I kept getting an answering service voicemail when trying to confirm my appointment the day prior & morning of my appointment. Had I been able to get a hold of someone the day before or earlier in the morning I wouldn’t have taken the morning off of work to make it to my appointment!

I went to Dr. Kamiel after struggling with health problems for about a year. None of the other doctors I’d seen were able to connect the dots, but Dr. Kamiel was really on top of his game. His office is not very nice, and his staff won’t call you back, so on the service end the experience is pretty awful, but he really knows his stuff, he really cares, he got the scan technician from another office on the phone to talk to me when he and I didn’t understand the results on my thyroid test scan. Dr. Kamiel really went the extra mile. He has a lot of seasoning and experience and brings that into the examining room. So if customer service from support staff is your #1 priority, this is not the doctor for you, but if you want a really knowledgeable, seasoned practitioner, he’s the guy.

I’ve been trying to find a good internist for a while, a few months, when there were no reviews on this dr. I decided to give it a shot, and hope for the best.
The visit was ok — he provided me information that I had already knew about my thyroid condition, and brought out a lot of other things to build his credential. He himself seemed like he needed attention on problems he was having, his one hand was shaking, his eyes bulgy, and it was not a good impression to make on a patient seeking thyroid help.
I gave him my symptoms after being on medication, and was hoping he would recommend me to go off medication because I felt like i turned hypo after being on meds. Anyways, my blood work was done end of January, it’s now March, I still hv not received a call back for my results. I’ve tried calling 4 times, and each time, they tell me he will call me back.
This is one of the worst overall doctor’s experience I’ve ever had. I definitely do not recommend him for any thryoid disease care.
