Customer Reviews about Dr. Dan T. La, MD

• ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪
  He may be a competent doctor, but he does not have a good bedside manner. I found him to be rude and arrogant. Even worse, I think he takes on new patients, when he does not have time to handle their medical problems. In the legal profession, that would be an ethical violation. It should be an ethical violation in the medical profession, as well. I went to see Dr LA about 6 months ago, on the recommendation of my primary care physican. My regular doctor had done routine blood work and was concerned about the lab results on one of the tests. So he sent me to Dr LA, thinking that Dr LA could resolve the issue. Dr LA told me that he needed me to re-take one of the blood tests. So he wrote a prescription for that test. He also said he needed the results of my vitamine D count from the prior lab test. He had trouble reading the lab report. The report was not legible. He then told me that I would have to call the lab to get the results of my vitimine D count, and then get back to his office with the results. He said the practice of medicine has changed, and that he did not have time to make the phone call to the lab. That he was too busy. I was beyond taken aback. Dr LA had no problem billing my insurance company and agreeing to take me on as a patient. Yet, he did not have time to make a routine phone call to the lab? I told Dr LA that it was his responsibility to contact the lab, not mine. That he has a large staff. That I am a lay person when it comes to medicine, and that I did not think it was appropriate for him to tell me to make that phone call. I also told him that I am just as busy as he is. A few days later, someone from his office called and said she inquired about my vitimine D. Though she did not leave her name. When I called the office back, they could not put me in touch with the person who had left me the message. They were not sure who she was. So, to this day, I don't know what the findings were on my Vitamine D. Dr LA has also ordered another blood test. I followed his, the doctor's, orders and promtptly took the blood test. No one from his office ever got back to me with the results. After three weeks of waiting, I finally called his office to get the results of my blood test. When Dr LA called me back, I wanted to be certain that I understood what he had said. So I asked him a few questions. He became visably annoyed. He told me he was in a hurry, that he did not have time to talk, and that he had already answered the question. He was beyond rude. He also seemed unconcerned about my well being. A few days later, my primary care physician contacted me. He said he ran into Dr LA and that Dr LA had explained the results of my lab test to him. So I learned about the results from another doctor. Not from Dr LA. As stated above, I believe it is an ethical violation to take on patients whom one does not have the time to properly treat. While Dr LA admitted that he did not have time for me, he had no problem billing my insurance company. To date, he has had the audacity to continue sending me invoices for my co pay. If Dr LA insists that I owe him a co pay, then he is going to have to sit through a peer review. Before I tender the co pay, I want to know what his colleagues have to say about the way he conducted himself.
