Kirk Uomoto MD

I was treated very rudely by the staff.
It all starts with me making an appointment ~2 weeks ago, asking on the phone whether they require patients to sign an arbitration agreement. They said, «oh no, we have nothing like that. We don’t do that.» Relieved, I proceed to make the appointment for earlier today.
I come in and first thing they ask me is whether I’m the guy concerned about the arbitration agreement! This is after expressing no concern whatsoever about it on the phone! They then ask me to provide my driver’s license and insurance (this is prior to providing me with the forms they’re asking me to sign as a condition of treatment!). Naturally, I refuse and ask to read the forms before providing them with further info about myself. As she’s giving me the forms, the office worker says to the doctor who’s at that time next to her that they don’t currently have an arbitration agreement but «we need to think about having one» — this is right in front of me and right after saying to me on the phone «oh no, we don’t do that».
At this point, I’m flustered, but continue to fill out forms as I have been waiting for 2 weeks for this appointment. I fill out the forms and provide them with the filled out forms and my insurance card and am taken in to a room where the office worker takes my height/​weight and asks about why I’m there to see the doctor. After stating that I’m there for repeat tests, she tells me that the doctor will see me today but that I’ll have to sign an arbitration agreement if I want to see him for the follow-​up. «Just letting you know how it is», she says. She then realizes she didn’t get my driver’s license and exits the room to go tell the rest of the staff that she forgot to get my driver’s license (my understanding is that this is normally done so they can take you to collections if they believe that the patient owes them money).
In the end, I never ended up seeing the doctor and now have to make another appointment and wait some more in order to both get my blood tests done and maintain my option to exercise my constitutional right to a jury trial. Very poor experience!

I think both Dr. Uomoto and Dr. Kattan are very good doctors. My father has been seen by both of them at Olympia Medical Center and Brotman Medical Center. They usually always see you everyday that you are in the hospital, and both of them are really nice. Dr. Uomoto always calls the nurses back fast if it is late at night and I asked them to give him a call for some medicine or for a test (my father needed a STAT CT and he made sure it happened fast). He also called us to let us know the results, possible diagnosis and treatment for my father as well. I have only met Dr. Kattan once while my father has met him a couple times, when Dr. Uomoto went on a much needed vacation. Dr. Kattan is extremely nice and patient and spends more then just a couple seconds with the patient. I think both of these Doctors are great. We have also never had any problems with any new/​different medications that they have prescribed during discharge.

If I could give Dr Kirk Uomoto and his partner, Dr. David Kattan a 0 rating I would. I have never been so abused and neglected by any other dr. like these two have. They dole out wrong dosages of serious meds, and when you politely try to correct them, they yell and disrespect you as a patient and as a human being. They don’t listen, and they don’t care! They don’t respond to my phone calls, even in an emergency. Watch out… just when you need them the most, they will leave you in a terrible bind, infact they not only make wrong diagnoses, but they quit being your doctor just for speaking up. I highly warn you and your loved ones to NOT use these two very mean and rude «doctors». YOUR LIFE WILL BE AT RISK!!!
