Bautista Dator Carmen MD - Oswego (NY)

1 /5 Avenue Willowood: Me and my partner had our first appointments with Dr. Carmen a couple days ago to establish care. We waited for a month for this appointment, and we drove 50 minutes to get there (not the worst, but we were hopeful it would be worth it). The desk lady was very nice, and then we went back and met Dr. Carmen. My partner was explaining to her that they were around a lot of drywall dust as kid, and that they wanted to get their lungs looked at. She asked if they were on any medication. They told her, "An albuteral Inhaler, and I USED to be on gabapentin." At that point she stopped the entire appointment and said, "I dont do psychiatry, so youll have to find a psychiatrist before I establish care with you." We reiterated that we werent there for psych stuff, we were there for the physical health stuff. She just kept cutting us off and saying, "No, you are here for mental health stuff, thats why you mentioned gabapentin." She asked what meds they were on and they answered, and apparently that means were only there for mental health stuff??? We left very upset, and I had a full mental breakdown in the car. This was supposed to be the first step for me figuring out why my joints have never worked right, and if I have long term damage from years of childhood concussions and whiplash. Ive been with therapists and psychiatrists for 6 years, and while I cant wait to have another therapist, my mental health is not my main concern at all. Quite frankly, turning away patients who are trying to figure out their chronic symptoms, all because theyve been on low grade anxiety meds, is just mental illness discrimination. I dont expect much from primary care physicians other than referring me to doctors that will actually help, and she couldnt even do that. Refusing to treat patients with a history of mental illness is going to kill someone one day, all because she refused to even look at their issues. She doesnt deserve a medical license, and if youre establishing care with her, dont even bother if you have a history of mental illness. You wont get anywhere.

1 /5 Jerry Osbourne: Not a good experience she started screaming at a developmentally disabled woman for no reason at all. I told her to talk and not yell because we weren’t angry (like her) she kept on yelling and talking loud for no reason at all (she was the only one) what an absolute nightmare save yourself the waste of time going to see this ill mannered and rude individual. She will cut you off when your advocating and voicing your concerns for someone disabled and say that your interupting her after she didnt let you finish speaking. what a failure in communication that will be blamed on you being rude when its her not letting the patient voice concerns its based on carmens concerns and not yours. This is also a doctor that falsely believes that the only way you can have kidney issues is if your GFR is below 60. This is absolutely false and not fact based. Just a rude mean old woman who should just retire and stop verbally abusing people who voice thier concerns and opinions. You are your own best advocate and doctors dont advocate for the patient this is one of those doctors who doesnt like people trying to ask questions or advocate for themselves. if you are in there with a relative i promise you as soon as you speak on behalf of your relative she will give you a response then cut you off from responding back by turning to your relative to talk to them and play the you just interupted me gaslighting game. she will bait you into saying your interupting her by cutting you off from giving a response by turning to talk to someone else while you didnt even get a chance to respond back to an answer. dont ever go there with a family or friend if your just trying to advocate for someone youll be walking out the door after being verbally abused by her.

1 /5 Catlin DiLorenzo: Hands down the absolute worst doctor I have ever been to. Went to the ER and they referred me to her. After having a kidney stint put in, this lady was so unprofessional. In her address, I didnt even know who she was when she entered the room. Took time off of work for the appointment for her to sit there and want every little detail about my visit at the e r when all she had to do was get the records from the hospital. Im sorry maam but I was in an extreme amount of pain and they had me on a lot of drugs. I dont remember everything. Continuously asked redundant questions like is the pain better That you dont have a one centimeter kidney stone blocking your path to your bladder Which I was simply answering yes the pain is better but it still hurts Avoid this quack joke of a doctor at all costs

4 /5 Katie Stout: Dr. Dator has always treated me like a human being. On my first visit, instead of prescribing antidepressants or anti-anxiety medication when I discussed being fatigued and down, she asked me questions about my life and suggested blood work first to see if I had any vitamin deficiencies. It was a huge relief, and she has helped me help myself for several years since. She is not interested in treating people who are not helping themselves, i. e., she does not see people who smoke cigarettes because theres not much she can do if the patient is destroying their health with poor choices. I like her professional standards. She is a no BS kind of doctor. The reason for four stars instead of five is that her front desk staff, though kind, messes up paperwork and doesnt return phone calls sometimes. Im not the Queen of England though and I realize mistakes can happen. They fix any mistakes when I bring them to their attention. Dr. Dator is open to alternative/holistic treatments and is supportive of positive changes on the patient end--she is always happy to fill out the necessary paperwork I need for my HSA account to pay for yoga, orthopedic massage, gym memberships, etc. for pain and stress management. No coddling in this office, but definitely treated with respect.

1 /5 Daniel Arton: I was refused treatment from this doctor on my second visit on my first visit I needed a referral for a screening. We had discussed that I smoke a half a pack a day but am trying to quit on my second visit two weeks later I was refused treatment because I had not yet completely quit. I traveled 300 miles one way to be told we cant treat you because we dont approve of your life style thanks doc your awesome. Cant give less than one star or I sure would. I guess your time is the only one with any value. After reading g some of your other reviews I think you did me a favor. Trying to deal with your personal Healthcare is hard enough without doctors like this. Im thinking Class Action people not see this
