Bassel Beitinjaneh M.D. | Kaiser Permanente

How was my experience? Bad. Never have encountered so distant, uninterested, apathetic, and inconsiderate medical provider. He speaks challengingly if not argumentatively, and he was disengaged from the start, made patient uncomfortable even for asking questions- because he snaps right back at ya followed by very awkward silent treatment??!! His bedside manner is rather derogatory and doesn't listen, and yet steer patient to a corner- because he simply isn't there with you. His KP profile does say he tries to "empower patients for making their own decision" is just too fancy way of saying his "take or leave it" deal. He was even hesitant to explain just about anything, whether that's procedure or medications, or plan of actions. I could have far better medical conversation with a security guard. He just doesn't seem to know certain words like, "care", "patient", "humanism", "needs", etc. This isn't a doctor that I'd depend my health on, let alone taking a journey together, no matter how short the trip is. Very disappointed. Is KP lowering the bar?

I was under his care while i had arrhythmia ,and had a procedure by him,he is such a polite caring young man,down to the earth person,care the patient genuinely, his expertise about his occupation is outstanding, thankyou doc and his care team.

Dr. Beitinjaneh is an excellent cardiologist who is an expert in his specialty. My wife recently had an ablation procedure which successfully remediated an a-fib condition. He is also very caring, attentive and patiently explains our medical questions and concerns. We highly recommend him.

Excellent meeting, he provided answers to all my questions and developed a treatment schedule that addresses all my concerns. He was very personable and made me feel very comfortable.

Dr B is the best. If he ever leaves Kaiser, I'll follow him to the insurance he is in
