Accepts New Patients: Yes
“Stay away”
Look at the negative reviews for a common thread. He will only address one issue at a time, even if they are related. you will get your 15 minutes on a single topic, that they can bill for. Any other questions or concerns are dismissed and you have to schedule a separate appointment for them, they don't even want to hear what it is, not billable. Very quick to prescribe pharmaceuticals and not concerned with side effects to the point where a serious side effect was ignored, as in not returning a...Original review on DoctorsDig.com
“Worst experience ever!”
I have never be discriminated against to this degree. This guy is a terrible physician. My experience n his office was absolutely deplorable. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I am a recent recipient of medicaid. I would like to add that I am a full-time college graduate student and my fiance is a medical student. I was treated like I was the stereo typical "riff-raff" of society who just milks the system. I could hear the physician making fun of my family planning choices with the nurses in the ...Original review on DoctorsDig.com
“Just like the old days, when your Dr was your friend.”
Dr. Kay and his staff have always treated me in a way that has long been forgotten. It harkens back to the days when the doctors came to you, took there time, and addressed all your issues thouroughly and carefully. Dr Kay stands alone as a doctor who practices these principals in todays fast paced medical system. I could not be happier with my choice of primary care physician. Original review on DoctorsDig.com
“Horrible Doctor and Staff”
The worst doctor I have ever experienced in my life. I went to him every other week for almost two months with the same symptoms and he would never acknowledge the symptoms I was explaining to him and his nurse. It was always, Oh we will talk about that next time, and we dont have time for that today, when this would be the purpose of the visit. After almost two months I changed doctors, but not before Dr. Kay and his unskilled staff thought it would be best to do a minor surgery in his off...Original review on DoctorsDig.com
“DR KAY”
I would not return to this practice, I found them to be very unprofessional. I spent so much time waiting and felt that I was being rushed everytime. I also find the staff very rude and arrogant. I would not recommend this doctors office. I also question their ability.Original review on DoctorsDig.com
“SCAMS PATIENTS and VERY DISRESPECTFUL”
I was saddened when I read some of these reviews. Unfortunately, I didnt start looking until after I experienced several unpleasant occurrences with Dr. Richard Kay. I will list my concerns from least to most offensive.
Wait time. The doctor doesnt even see you until an hour AFTER your appointment. On the other hand, if your more than 10 minutes late, you have to reschedule, no exceptions.
The staff: They are clearly all related; otherwise there would be some level of professionalism and g...Original review on DoctorsDig.com
“patient”
I had gone to several DRs before I started going to Dr. Kay .I felt like I was in a production line, a number on file, however, after my appointment with Dr. Kay I felt like he listened to my health problems and perscribed accordingly. He and all of his staff are always professonal, yet, very friendly and truly conserned with my health. I'm always comfortable waiting for the Dr and the staff will always let me know if the Dr is running behind schedule. I will recommend Dr Kay as a good, down...Original review on DoctorsDig.com
“Finally! A doctor who cares.”
From the minute I chose Dr Kay as my primary physician over three years ago, I have been continually reminded of why I did. He takes the time to listen and has always shown true care and concern for my health and well being. The office staff are always friendly and warm. When I visit Dr Kay's office I feel like I am more than a number, more than a patient, I feel like family. I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great doctor!Original review on DoctorsDig.com
“Dr.Richard kay”
Dr. Richard kay is & very good physcian. He cares about your health seriously.Original review on DoctorsDig.com
“Not going Back”
Don't expect more than your 15 minutes. Any other concerns or questions you're expected to schedule a separate appointment, It's all about the billable codes I supposed we're down to 15 minute care, warranted or not . This is an inherent problem in our "for profit" healthcare system. I was put on meds that I found out later I did not need. I called when a potentially serious side effect occurred,from those very same meds, early on a Friday. They managed to get back to me late in the day Monday. ...Original review on DoctorsDig.com
