Review Icon roxy0022 reviewed Kaiser Permanente in Los Angeles Employers:
Kaiser is terrible!! i have been denied care and treated poorly for years. I thought all insurance was bad until i switched and found that anything else is better than Kaiser...
I had abnormal pap's for years until i was finally diagnosed with pre-cancer and they suggested a hysterectomy at the age of 23...i switched insurance and after one biopsy i was cured....no more pre-cancer and i have had normal pap's ever since

Dr Steven Richards in El Cajon CA was a nightmare
He was very arrogant and rude!! I was a victim of date-rape and when i went to him for help he treated me like i was a slut! after I had a procedure done in his office by another doctor i asked for a doc note to get out of work; he wrote a long explanation regarding the procedure description including private and extremely personal information to my employer and lectured me on how i was taking advantage of my job by calling in sick for 2 days after, even though i was in pain!

thank god for plan parenthood! they actually care and know what they are doing!

Review Icon Serviceiskey reviewed Kaiser Permanente in Los Angeles Employers:
Kaiser is by far the worst place I have ever experienced. Every time they disappoint me with bad customer service or over all bad service and I tell someone they are NEVER shocked. The only thing good about them is they are pretty cheap, but I guess you get what you pay for. I go to the ones around the DC/VA area. No one ever knows what they are doing. I would not recommend this place and I just wish someone would have told me what I am telling you all before I started being insured with Kaiser.

Review Icon roleesun reviewed Kaiser Permanente in Los Angeles Employers:
I have been with Kaiser most of my life (44 now). I think Kaiser is great! I have never been denied a test...including MRIs. Was diagnosed with a large kidney stone and was scheduled for a Lithotripsy the next day (non kaiser Doctor on Blue Cross suggested that I wait it out as the procedure would cost $10,000). I paid $10 for the procedure at Kaiser. If I don't like my doctor at Kaiser, I change doctors just as with any other insurance. In the last 5 years I have not waited more than 5 minutes past my appointment time to see the doctor. Their website is great for communicating with my doctors and prescription refills are so easy. My mom was treated for cancer that had gotten to her bone marrow at Kaiser. They used an experimental procedure at the time and now 33 years later she is still doing well. In addition she had a triple bypass and valve replacement at Kaiser. My doctors have always taken as much time as necessary to answer my questions. I have never felt that I was unable to get an appointment within a reasonable time frame.

It sounds like everyone giving a bad review to Kaiser goes to the doctor wanting the doctor to confirm their own diagnoses or paranoia. Instead of going to the doctor to be cured they want the doctor to give them the medical diagnoses/treatment that they themselves have predetermined. So they keep going back trying to get the drugs or surgery or procedure even if its not necessary or correct. The first criticism I read was about someone going to the doctor about a blister. Who goes to the doctor for a blister? You throw a bandaid and some neosporin on it and let it heal. These people are the ones that are causing our heathcare system to teeter on the edge of a cliff. You don't go and demand antibiotics for every sore throat or cold or scratch. Any emergency room at any hospital handles patients based on the seriousness of each case. They will not take a broken finger before a gunshot wound or serious trauma. Most of the complainers sound like they have the same problem that people like Michael Jackson and Anna Nicole Smith had. They want what they want even if it is not the safe or correct treatment. They get angry when they don't have a doctor that tells them what they want to hear. By the way...Love the person that says "now I can dictate my heathcare..." A prime example of Michael Jackson Syndrome.

Sure Kaiser has issues as do all providers, but I have always felt that they actively try to improve their service. Heath care is a service to be used when necessary...not to be abused.

Review Icon igoritskovsky reviewed Kaiser Permanente in Los Angeles Employers:
This place is awful. I went in to get a blister looked at on the bottom of my foot. I had this problem ¨treated¨ by Kaiser before and they had removed surgically a year before. Obviously, they didn´t do a very good job because it came back again. The nurse practitioner comes in, (not a doctor), and pokes at it for a fews minutes, then goes away for 20 minutes and comes back, she tells me its a spider bite. She didn´t look in the computer to see that I had this removed before. She give me some anti bacterial gels and tells me to email her if it gets worse. What a crock of ¨s¨. I still have the blister and it still hurts. Paying a lot of money for crap. Hopefully Kaiser shuts down and get boarded up. I am so scared if I get something serious, I would die under their Nazi like care.

Review Icon Chalky reviewed American International Group (AIG) in New York City Employers:
Top AIG recipients from the 2008 campaign:
1) Chris Dodd 2) Barack Obama 3) John McCain
While I can individually tolerate McCain and Obama, Dodd is probably one of the biggest d-bags ever.

Review Icon nesher reviewed KLA-Tencor Corp. in San Francisco Bay Area Employers:
It is a big corporation, with inherited positive and negative features of the big corporation. However, it is probably one of the best in its playground.

Review Icon Ken Coleman reviewed L.A. Unified School District in Los Angeles Employers:
I found the District very inefficient and top-heavy. They have a large budget which is spent mostly on supporting the beaurocracy. The inner-city schools suffered from lack of maintenance. The kids were great but lacked the proper role models. Their role models were great athletes and people who did well in their neighborhood. I remember one student looked up to the profession of a pimp, because he dressed well and had a 'big car". The District did little to lift the self- esteem of the inner-city students. After nine years I moved to the Valley and worked with a young activist who was working to teach immigrants to to speek and read English. As part of my course at La.Valley College, I checked at their book depository about aiding him with books. When they found out he was doing it at no cost to his students, they were glad to help. He was able to get reading books at no cost from them and he was thankfull for my help.

Review Icon Ken Coleman reviewed Kaiser Permanente in Los Angeles Employers:
I found the Doctors to be great, including my personal physician, my Oncologist, Opthomologist, my present Vasculal Surgeon. With the exception of my Vascular Surgeon and his nurse who I changed, all had "great bedside manners" and eager to do the best for your health and listened to you. My personal physician referred me to specialists withou my request when He heard my problems or symptoms. I've been with Kaiser about thirty years and have had no reason to change.

Review Icon dani4485 reviewed Bank of America in Los Angeles Employers:
Absolutly the Worst Credit card ive ever had! Not only did they raise my APR apparently due to the economy, but they said they sent me a notice in Nov. and b/c I didnt reply within 3months there is now no way they can lower it....maybe I would have called if they actually sent me something? When I asked for a copy of the letter they said they dont have a copy of it , but they could send me something simular, what is that? but i did call in march and the guy told me it could be lowered in 6 months from when it was raised in jan., now its a whole different story! If I actually could I would pay it off in a heartbeat, If you are getting a card or looking too get out while you still can because I was told they the rates were going up again! Also the customer service, ha one time I had a good, nice man on the phone which is the guy that told me i could lower my APR in 6 months it was raised due to fee putting my card over the limit, then the next person I spoke with the lady was a real...well u know. Very rude and would not transfer me to someone that could actually help me.
