This is a piggy back to the review I wrote on Kidney Dialysis Center of Northridge. When I first consulted with Dr. Patak, He was a kind, sincere, quality doctor that actually listened and took the time to comprehend and answer all questions and concerns. Well, I was fooled and found out the hard and wrong way that it was an act. This is a doctor that needs to consider retiring because when you stop caring about your patients and don’t even have the moral decency and practice of informing your patient you can no longer care for them and at least refer them(in this case, myself) to another qualified doctor then it’s time… It’s two faced when you talk about a another doctor to me about an issue then turn around and talk mess about your own patient to that same doctor you were negatively talking about. I personally had to deal with this doctor who was very timid when it was time to make the right decision about my health care when HIS dialysis clinic wasn’t performing their duties or negligently handling my dialysis treatments. It’s a scary moment when your life is in the hands of individuals that genuinely don’t care about your well being but able to perform damage control on a regular basis. Dr. Patak acts and seems like a great doctor but just like a new relationship, after the 2nd or 3rd date, Cheap dinners, no returned phone calls and then getting dumped by text message… That’s what it felt like and It’s only right I share this so it doesn’t happen to you. I’m a man of God and I treat people how I would like to be treated. I only pray that the other patients don’t get the same treatment as I did and if so then Shame on Dr. Patak, Shame on Davita and Shame on the staff that participates in unethical practices and care at Kidney Dialysis Center of Northridge!
