Zemede Markos MD

Very Lazy and money hungry… he gave me samples of medicine that actually worked great. Then when it was time to fill out a form for insurance, he was very reluctant. He did not inform the insurance company about all the previous drugs that I had tried during my time with him because «they switched to a new records system.» I had to go back and retry drugs that he had given me years ago because apparently he couldn’t remember giving them to me. Then when it was time to fill the paper out again then he refused. He demanded that I come into the office for a visit again (even though I had already been in several times for the sample drug and he examined me and determined it had lowered my blood pressure better than everything else)! He said he had already spent too much time on the phone and filling out paperwork for no payment! I accused him of fraud and he hung up on me but miraculously found the time to call in the prescription then sent me a letter telling me to find a new doctor! I had also asked him for years to remove a mole and he said it was a tag and insurance wouldn’t pay for it… after my third request and telling him it was painful and uncomfortable and even though insurance wouldn’t pay for it, I would just pay for the mole removal myself… he still refused to remove the mole! I had to make an appointment with another dr to have it removed and insurance paid with no problem! Dr Zemede is, in my opinion, a very greedy man and a dangerously lazy doctor! Stay away!!!

If I could give him a negative rating, I would. Not only is it clear he does not give two cents about his patients, but his office staff is incompetent beyond words. Many many hours of my life wasted either fighting them because they billed me for the wrong thing, or fighting them to send the referral they told me they sent two weeks ago, but never actually did. Good luck getting any quality service from them, on any front.

Wow… so I thought it was just me, but apparently not! I just up n stopped going because I was tired of paying for a pat on the back n no help. I think the pharmacist at Walgreens is a better doctor, but just as the gent b4 me, I too was harassed by the doctors office to come in for my annual check up… the way they called u’d of thought I was the radio station giving prizes away. Anyway, he’s a waste of time and money… n prolly the reason ER is always so full of none emergent cases. My advice… find another doctor!

I so have to agree with the two other post on this. Wow like the other one he always was on my about my weight and eating better. So I had canceled my yearly exam and the front office staff called me at work going through our operator so I wouldn’t know who it was and wanted to reschedule the appointment I let the lady know who I believe name is Brianna that I have really been unhappy the last few times that Dr. Zemede just doesn’t seem to listen to me and all. She said okay I will let him know.
Well today I got a letter from the office saying that he was pulling out of being my doctor and that I needed to find care else where well here is to you LQMG group and Dr. Zemede thank you for the letter even though it was very shady they way they did it made it 100% better in leaving you.
Be for sure I will let people know that don’t even dare go into your office as well!!!

Dr. Zemede,
You, Sir are an asshole. Do you really want to know the reason I switched Physicians more than a year ago? It was because you NEVER listened to my list of symptoms that were bothering me. Instead, you chose to point out the fact that I was overweight (by the way, 210 lbs and 5’10″ at 37 is hardly morbidly obese) and you recommended that I get more exercise and eat better. As I’ve told you many times before, I eat very well and am an avid cyclist but I guess because I wasn’t less than 5% body-​fat, you didn’t take my symptoms seriously.
Well, it’s a great thing I moved on because my new Doctor found an anomaly on the very first EKG he ran and sent me to a cardiac specialist… an enlarged heart valve due to high blood pressure. He immediately started me on blood pressure medication and guess what? I feel better! Not just that, but now my chances of dropping dead from a heart attack or stroke has greatly been reduced. :-)
But hey… you’re a Doctor, right? You know everything and I know nothing… right?
That brings us to this last week. You had written me an unlimited-​refills maintenance prescription for Dexilant (severe acid reflux) when I was still your patient. When I switched physicians, your office was SUPPOSED to transfer my medical files per my request — I find out now that you only transferred part of them. More than a week ago, I called in my refill and due to a very hectic week, was not able to pick it up until this last Wednesday. Well, when I got to the pharmacy I was informed that my Physician (YOU! — asshole) denied my refill because I was no longer your patient. I’m sorry but I thought you were supposed to have transferred my medical files IN THEIR ENTIRETY to my new Physician. How surprised I was that a Physician I had left more than a year ago suddenly had the power to deny my maintenance medication and leave my esophagus in agonizing pain. Seriously, it feels like I’ve swallowed hot coals you dick! Also, why is it that even though I left LQMG more than a year ago, I’ve been able to get monthly refills with no problem — until now?!!
Dr. Zemede, your actions and handling of my medical records show that you are a petty vindictive little prick. Congratulations! You’ve managed to make me physically suffer for almost an entire week and a half now. If you think this is a great way to «win» back patients, you need to go back to your first year and relearn «First, do no harm…»
By next week, my reflux should be back to manageable levels, but you’ll still be an asshole…

Ahhhh Dr. ZEMEDE… first of all, he doesn’t like the GAYS. He offered to send me to a church for «counseling»…and he always has a comment about my weight. Actually COMMENTS!!!’ A doctor is for health ailments!!! Not whether or not I’m gay or fat!!!” I NEED A NEW DOC ASAP!!!
