Sharp Community Medical Group

Atrocious service. We will be moving to another medical group for care. My wife had a really nasty ingrown toe nail and called to make an appointment. They told her she couldn’t be seen until January 11^th – and this was a couple weeks ago! So nearly a month wait time?! Are you kidding me? Turns out when we just decided to find a well-​reviewed foot doctor and pay cash, the excellent doctor she saw said she had a «granuloma” – apparently a very bad thing to have, and it was a very good thing she had seen someone to get it taken care of. Avoid Sharp Community Medical Group if you want any level of responsiveness in your medical care – and I say this as someone who does not need/​or use medical care except when my concerns are critical in nature: bleeding profusely, broken limb, etc. My wife is the same way. We don’t need/​use medical care hardly ever, but when we do need it, we really need it. Sharp Community Medical Center is apparently not the place you sign up for if you need responsive care.

Many problems

Dr. Bryan (Basil) Abromowitz was rude 3 months ago to my mother during a routine office visit. I wrote a review on Unilocal about it because I was displeased with his arrogant and dismissive demeanor. I tried to get my mother to see him and was asked by his receptionist (he couldn’t even tell me himself) to find another doctor. My mother was sick, needed to be seen, and he flat out refused. That is the worst treatment I have ever experienced. We ended up going to an urgent care and they were great. My mother is a cancer survivor and should not be treated that way or refused further treatment because a doctor got his feathers ruffled. He told his receptionist that and I quote, «He lost the will to treat my mother.» Who says things like that. Dr. Abromowitz had an opportunity to turn things around yesterday and see my mother and treat her like a person. I guess he is more worried about his ego than he is about treating patients (like my mother). I am considering changing to Kaiser now because of this incident.
