Cardiology - Dignity Health Medical Group - Bakersfield, CA

Dr Lee is THE best and also Dr Gonzales! Dr Gonzales was in the room waiting for us! He was going over our files! Now how good is that! I have never had a doctor beat us to the patient room. Also the staff is super nice. Especially in the last 6 months.

At one time or another, I have been treated by three doctors at Golden Empire Cardiology (Dr. Lee, Dr. Gonzalez, and Dr. Roberts). I can say without reservation that all three treated me not only professionally, but also with obvious personal concern. Never once have I ever felt like either doctor was in a hurry to get to his next appointment. All three doctors made sure that I understood clearly what they were trying to tell me.

They don't give you the attention you need. They are too busy. Always at the hospital. Making them make decisions on a whim. Decisions like prescriptions that make you worse. You get worse then you get put in a back and forth with the hospital. They tell you to talk to your cardiologist and the cardiologist tells you if you feel worse to go to the hospital. Then your put in a waiting game between death and a permanent problem. When I needed help they weren't there for me. The pain I've had to go through is traumatic. All I needed was some true attention to my health background and prescriptions. If I die I blame the cardiologist.

Nice staff, good people operating tech, but bad cardiologist. Smile in your face to make good impression but ignore you the rest of treatment. The Cardiologist don't pay attention to patients personally. They cause more illnesses then that solve with the medications.

I cannot say enough kind words about Dr. Gonzalez and the staff (front desk and nurses). They are on top of everything, willing to work with you, courteous and understanding. The building is nice, office is clean, never a long wait to be seen and overall, a great atmosphere!
