We brought my newborn son, 5 days old for his first pediatric check up. We never saw Dr. Sedrak. Before we could even fill out his paperwork, Dr. Sedrak called my husband to the checkout desk to let him know about some test results from our stay in the hospital from when he was born. I was called back as well to be informed that my son had a rare disease based on the positive test results that were faxed to them and "I have no experience with this disease so I cannot see him" she directed us to call some endocrinologist. She didn't take us in a room and explain what was going on, she turned us away. We were terrified to say the least.
They gave us a copy for the paperwork and we left. I called the endocrinologist and was told by Ken at Dr. Brakins office that my son wouldn't be seen until his insurance was active. He questioned me about why Dr. Sedrak hadn't started his insurance. All babies are covered under the mom for the first 30 days. He never even brought that up. It was insulting. I'm worried about this rare disease my son could possibly have and this idiot is going on about insurance. Needless to say, I told him as much and hung up in his face.
I had to call CHS, the number on the paper and they couldn't believe we were turned away and denied to be seen over insurance.
We ended up going to Miller's Children Center in Long Beach because the the first doctor said we could either go to the Children's Hospital or Long Beach Memorial as well.
My son was eventually admitted for retesting.
