Curtis P Page, MD

I went to this office about 7 times in 2015, I decided to change doctors due to my previous Dr being too far away. I was referred to this office by a friend and went to see them, the office is very old, rooms and equipment is old but the staff is friendly. They did see me on really short notice twice due to being violently ill. One time I had to wait an hour and a half the other time they took me right back. I typically have to wait at least 20 min after my scheduled appointment time until they take me back. The upside of this clinic is that they have a medical dispensary on sight so if you dont like to go to Walgreens, its fast and easy to get meds.
My experience: my first visit I only saw a PA, and she was nice but was very holistic and wanted me to try holistic approaches to my issues. I dont mind trying things but when I have a UTI I would like medication for it. I then scheduled my yearly physical and asked to see a doctor at that time. I was scheduled with a doctor who was very friendly and very nice, that Dr has since left the practice, which also bothers me. I went in for my physical and had a mold on my back that was bothering me but wanted a doctor to look at it to see if there way cause for concern. The doctor looked at the mole, said its nothing but I can remove it for you if you would like, I was slightly taken back, but thought well it does bother me so why not. The doctor said it will be a good experience for her new medical assistant. They removed the mole, it was quick and painless. The issue came when I got a bill for 260 for the removal and I called to see why my insurance didn’t cover it, apparently insurance doesn’t cover «cosmetic procedures» and this was considered one. I was frustrated with the doctor and office for not at least warning me that their might be a charge. I started making payments and then in February 2016 went into the office for another sick visit, paid my copy and a payment on my bill, I asked for an updated balance and they printed me out a 0 balance receipt. I asked if this was the total on my account and they said yes. I assumed that I paid off my balance and was thrilled to not owe money. April 2016 I got a notice in the mail that they sent $ 71 to collections in may, I called and said I thought I had a 0 balance and why did I get this notice, they said nope you had a 71 $ balance and you didnt pay anything. There is nothing I can do and now I have to pay 91 for collection fees. What frustrates me is that the billing office they use is a separate company and never contacted me before they sent me to collections.
If you decide to use this office, be okay with a holistic approach to medicine. Know your insurance and if you ever get a balance call the billing company not the office to get your balance and make sure you get it paid off before they send you to collections.

Called to set up new doctor for my adult son with learning disabilities, low income, and a hernia the size of South America. Paige office scheduler said, «Sure we take his HMO plan.» Once we were in the office, insurance card and paperwork submitted, my son saw a PA. When we checked out, the office staff suddenly says that Doctor Paige is not accepting my son’s HMO plan. «But,» I said, «you assured me you took this plan before I made this appointment.» «Yes,» she waffles, «we booked your son with a PA who is on the plan.» Then the bad news, «Your son cannot get a referral to a surgeon since only a doctor can do that; The PA on your son’s plan, can’t make a referral.»
So now we have a bill and a hernia the size of Africa.
This was a very bad first and last impression. We will be disputing the bill they sent for $ 195.00 for a useless visit. We have since gone to CIGNA HMO and they were amazing. The office evaluation, diagnosis, surgeon consultation, and bloodwork done in one location. The surgery was fantastic and all costs were in network.

Curtis must have been taking some feedback from his reviews. I didn’t have any problem getting my appointment and the entire process was quite blissful.
I usually have level of anxiety when I see the doctor, but Curtis made my visit worth while.
Thanks again!

This office is a joke. Getting in touch with a doctor or even an office staff is beyond difficult. My family and I have chosen Paige Family Practice as our primary care for years and over the years the treatment has gotten worse. The office staff is rude. If I am (un)lucky enough to get to an office personnel on the phone they have an attitude as if they’re having a bad day… Everyday. The nurse practitioner is equally as stuck up and judgmental while diagnosing and treating you. I’m writing this I have been on hold for 10 minutes listening to a recording as I did earlier when I called and the phone rang until disconnected. I’m now on the phone with Lupe who is being completely unapologetic about the fact that Genevieve failed to send in my prescription to my pharmacist yesterday. When I visited my pharmacy today they knew nothing about it. Lupe offered to have someone call about it tomorrow… That will make it 3 days without my prescription. Lupe continued to repeat herself and put me in yet another 5 minute hold. They advertise «quality care» but what they give you is a dismissive attitude from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave. If you don’t want to be treated like a number go somewhere else. I will be looking for a new primary care physician… So if you know of any let me know!

called to make an appt for my daughter. i was told there was a hold on the account. after waiting on hold i was told it was for $ 35 for a missed appointment in 2013. fine, will pay it when we come in for the appt. Oh no, I have to call the collections agency and pay it now. nope, not going to happen. you want the 35 and the money for treating my daughter then book the appt. otherwise we will find a new doctor. i myself have been seeing another dr in gilbert. got tired of never getting to see a real doctor… just a doctor in training. i have read the other reviews about their staff being rude. not sure i would say rude but certainly lacking personalities and smiles.

I’m a little indifferent and hurt by this doctor’s office.
The office staff has made me cry several times because they are so blunt and insensitive. I’ve been on a medication treating metabolic syndrome from an endocrinologist, and one day the office calls to tell me «You need to keep taking your medication for your diabetes» — Yes, metformin is used to treat diabetes but please familiarize yourself with WHAT my medication is treating before you call me and take a guess. They are hard to get a hold of, and quote blunt. I don’t like calling them if I can help it.
Genieve, the first PA I saw was fantastic. She listened, made me feel valued, and even tried to help me with a weight loss supplement. I really connected with her, but I don’t know what happened, but I never got to see her again when they closed one of their offices.
Sadly, for whatever reason, my appointments started being scheduled with another PA, Brandi who I am slightly less enchanted with. She seems very focused on selling Protandim and whatever her «Five years’ worth of therapy in a short time» online forum than listening to my concerns. She’s very natural, which has its place in medicine, but I think she’s too far in the wrong direction. I found it weird she sent me home with a list of movies to watch about Food, and books I should read about being a vegetarian. At one point she told me my Anti-​depressants were a crutch and I needed to get off them. I trusted her and tried to go cold turkey and had a severe mental issues going cold turkey on anti-​depressants (which, I’ve read later is a REALLY REALLY bad idea) at my next appointment she said «Oh what I meant was, you should open yourself up to the possibility of no longer needing the drugs» If that’s what you meant, you should have said that. At another appointment, I came to her practically begging for a referral to a therapist because I was starting to scare myself with the feelings I was having, and she balked at me. I told her I though I may be Bi-​Polar or schizophrenic, which she laughed at me and said, I don’t think your schizophrenic, but I’ll get you a referral if that’s what you really want. Two weeks later, I had a mental break, ended up in a psychiatrist’s office, and guess what? I’m now being treated for schizophrenia.
I went to a follow up from her referral (To a Doctor with a SIX WEEK waiting period) mostly to tell her how let down and abandoned I felt by her, and again she made me cry. I wanted her to admit she was wrong, and she missed something I thought was very obvious, but she didn’t admit fault, and sort of danced around the issue. She hugged me, and I guess that was supposed to fix it.
I’m changing primary care doctors. I wanted someone open to natural approaches, not one who practically ignores medicine in favor of a vegetarian diet.

If you like bad attitudes, having to micromanage your doctor and have a desire to be herded like cattle then Page Family Practice is for you.
Ellana is a fantastic provider but appointments are generally not available until the evening.
Previously, I visited Rhianna but was never notified that she left the practice. Saw Dr. Page and then when I finally was told over the phone that Rhianna was no longer there, eventually transferred to Ellana.
I tried to call the office multiple times and no one answered the phone. I finally got through and left a message that was never answered. This happened multiple times.
Today, I visited and accepted an appointment with Les. Even though I was told over the phone that he was the one that intercepted my previous phone message, he said he had no idea what I was speaking of.
During this visit, I received attitude and was told one thing only to be given a prescription for something else. It was my last straw and I will begin the adventure of finding a new doctor who cares. I declined all care and left the office.
Previous occurrences that have lead me to this decision:
— asking for help only to be told try «here» and not giving any guidance.
— 2 CT scans for the same thing one because they did the first one wrong.
— 1 of those CT scans lead to a panic after receiving a message that lymph nodes in my ovaries.
— Waiting in the lobby for an hour for an appointment that was oh… An hour ago.
Gave plenty of chances to be let down…

I have been going to this office for over 5 years. I have had great relationships with the PA’s and front office staff.
However, Dr. Curtis Page repeatedly ignored current medical best practices every time he dealt with me. He allowed multiple gout flare-​ups to go untreated as gout for over 3 years. He thought it was a sprain every single time, even when the x-​ray clearly showed arthritis in the joints. He had me discontinue a high-​dose anti-​depressant without tapering causing multiple personal issues. He then, after having issues for 6 months, admitted I should just restart it. After another 6 months of issues with the medication he then decides to add FOLIC ACID to my treatment because he read a couple good studies about it potentially helping. He did not test my blood to measure my current folic acid levels, and the studies he referenced admitted there was no conclusive evidence that this new $ 2 per pill prescription would even help with the underlying issues. The study is (Stahl SM, CNS Spectrums 2007;12(10):739−744).
When I have done more research into what he is prescribing than he has, he is clearly not fit to practice medicine. At this point in time I am reviewing my medical records with an attorney to determine if charges need to be pressed to help save others from this individual.

This review is for the office staff. Not necessary the doc I saw. Even though the doc I saw is not on their website. But my husband went in for his appointment and provided his Cigna insurance card at the time of registration. We get a bill today and shows absolutely no payment from my insurance, so I call and the billing lady tells me it’s because they have Aetna. I asked how do you have Aetna when the insurance u was provided was Cigna. Her response was I don’t know!!! That is not the answer I want to hear and if your going to make mistakes on own up to it. Then I tell her Sonoran lab also billed us and again no insurance payment. What She tells me is
That I have to call them to update. Why should I have to call on an error you
Did and get IDK answers? This has made me now have to look for a new doc for my family of 5. If she would have been more helpful or considerate I would not have felt the need to take my business elsewhere right away. But there were so many red flags and really PO about
How incompetent staff is. I will take back the 45 min drive back to my old doc

Good doctors, incompetent staff! I’ve gone for a test and while there decided to take a flu shot. I’ve got billed for so many things that my insurance said «One should not be billed for that». After them going back and forth with the insurance for over a year I finally went to to the office and they settled down for the cost of flu shot plus some and closed the account. Today I receive another collection notice from them saying I still owe them. AVOID THIS PLACE at all costs (literally and figuratively). The staff and billing are clueless.

I went in a few weeks ago to get some scripts. The one medication they gave me did not clear up my issue (only half way). I called to get a refill and they wanted me to come back in. Seriously? To tell me what I already know! So i’m supposed to take an hr out of my day and $$$$ for the doctor to sit with me for 2 min to say yup your still sick. Here’s a refill. And when I looked up how effective the medication was it said that I would have to do several weeks of the medication when the doctor only prescribed a week. This place is scam.

I gave this office several opportunities to have a positive experience, but it did not happen. The staff is generally incompetent from the top down. And one always has to wait an excessive amount of time. I have been here three times, I’ll start with this last one…
1. I called to see if I could get a hearing test. The front office said they didn’t know so they were going to call me back immediately. Near the end of the day, I called back with the same request: a hearing test and referral for a hearing aid. The front office put me on hold and came back to say «Yes, the office does hearing tests». I arrived to my appointment the next week. When I got into the room, the nurse told me the office doesn’t do hearing tests! She asked me what I was looking for: I told her in detail two times where I wanted a referral to. She came back about 10 min later to give me a referral to a different place. Then when I told her again where I wanted the referral to, she said «not to be rude, but I have five patients waiting» and asked me to do the research. Which I had already done and had told her what I needed. I got a bill for them lying to me, not doing what I requested, and taking up my time. They should have paid me for the waste of my time and for being unethical and lying.
2. Prior to this, I had called about another issue and made sure the office staff knew what I was asking, or thought I had. I was very specific. They said there was one doctor who did the procedure. When I got to the appointment, and waited over an hour though I was one of the first appointments, the doctor said they don’t do that procedure there and would do a different procedure on my foot, which was not helpful. They had to refer out, which should have been taken care of when I first called in.
3. The first time I went there, the doctor who assisted me diagnosed wrong the issue with my foot. It was easy for me to find online what the issue was, but she couldn’t. By the end of our time together, she took me to the pharmacy to get some medicine. She could remember neither my first or last name by that time.
I have never before written a review, but I just don’t want others to go to this office!
There practices are unethical and they are incompetent.

Awful!!! My boyfriend had to walk out after waiting over an hour! He received an appointment reminder and was told it was at 3:05. He arrived at 2:45… at 3:30 he reminds them he’s been waiting and asks how much longer he has to wait. so 10 min later they call him to the room for vitals then he sits to wait… and wait some more. Finally at 4:18 he walks out to the receptionist to tell them he’s not waiting any longer! She then informs him his appointment was actually at 3:20 but they give you an early time so you get there on time!!! Like that matters. he would have still been waiting for an hour! And this was a follow-​up by the way. They had the gall to ask if he wanted to reschedule! His time is money… money we need to pay bills… which they don’t seem to care about. Need less to say he will be looking for a new Dr.

Okay, I have been an established, respectful patient for awhile now and made an appointment recently for severe hay fever. I had called ahead of time and made an appointment and also had the front office CONFIRM that they accepted Care Credit since I am self pay now. I asked them THREE times to make sure and they were positive they did. I took time off work and drove 30 minutes to this office to have them tell me, «oops, we don’t take care credit». This was the only form of payment I had at the time and they weren’t willing to even work out a payment plan with me. They just let me walk out of their office suffering and wasted my time.
This office does NOT care about their patients. Working in a medical office myself, I would refer patients to this practice all the time and I no longer will. This is an awful greedy office and I can see why this office has such bad reviews. Go somewhere who cares about their patients and works with them.
One more thing, most of the time they put you with a Physician Assistant first. Sadly, they have no clue about anything and every question I had, she literally «googled» and said, «oh, hmm let me ask google.» I kid you not, then charged me a physician fee as if I saw the doctor, which I never had. The only good thing the PA’s were good for was writing a prescription.
I will be transferring my records to a different office immediately. Don’t waste your time!

Very disappointing office. Front office staff was rude to me, then made me drive to a different office location because of a scheduling error. I saw a PA, not a doctor, who did absolutely nothing to help/​diagnose with why I went into the office in the first place. No transparency from administration at all about costs/​billing, and when I called to inquire about my account about a month after my visit, was shuffled around on the phone and on hold for 20 minutes before someone finally answered my questions. Found this office on ZocDoc, never going back to them again.
Update to my review… just got off the phone after 2 hours of back and forth with my insurance and this god awful doctors office. A flu shot here costs $ 106 and a useless visit with a PA costs $ 276…NEVER, EVER, EVER GO TO THIS OFFICE! oh and if you do happen to get someone on the phone after waiting for 30+ minutes, they will be rude. Crystal and Priscilla, this is directed to you.

This review is for Paige Family Practice, not for the doctor. I found this place from my insurance website and was calling for the doctor to do a physical. When I got here, I was very swiftly looked over by the PA. To be fair she did add on additional blood tests when I mentioned my concerns, so that’s good.
The follow up visit to draw blood was terrible. I’d made an appointment, and still had to wait almost 30 minutes. There wasn’t that many people at the practice, so I don’t know if they’re just inefficient or what.
I was only able to obtain my test results by calling them a dozen times. Don’t bother calling them, they will not answer. I will be looking for another doctor.

Disclaimer: I have a chronic but undiagnosed autoimmune condition, so my situation is more complicated than the average client. If you’re coming here for something trivial like a check-​up or cold medicine you’re probably fine.
That said, the first two times I saw Brandi and she was kind and sympathetic. She was uncomfortable with the doses of prednisone she was prescribing, however, and referred me to (Curtis) Page. Cue the worst doctor experience I have ever had in my life (and I have had a LOT of experiences with new doctors):
Within a few moments of me trying to explain a complicated 10+ year medical history, he seemed to have already developed a diagnosis in his head. He was dismissive and rude, and almost flat-​out refused to give me the prescription I needed, favoring instead medicine that I explained I’ve tried before and hadn’t had enough of an effect. He finally gave in to prescribing prednisone, «2 refills or whatever she wants» and stormed out like he lost an argument. Which is good because at that point I was already in tears and was just relieved to have ann opportunity to cry in peace. I can’t remember the last time, if ever, that a doctor visit made me cry.
He also had two medical students with him. I was never asked for my preference on whether they were in the room or not. This is one of the few times I would have wished they weren’t there actually. All I can hope is they don’t pick up his bedside manner.

This review is for Page Family Practice, not Dr. Curtis Page himself.
I would like to point out that when you book your appointment online, you likely will not be booking with the doctor your requested, but one of the 8 that work between the 2 locations.
Please avoid this office at all costs. Although Dr. Foust was extremely knowledgable and I felt he could really help me, the process for the follow up appointment has not been worth it at all. I am currently on-​hold, and have been for 20 minutes. This happens every time I call, with no other way to contact them besides physically going there. My pharmacy couldn’t get a hold of them for simple prescription refill requests.
To sum up my experience, I went and got a full blood test done over 3 weeks ago. I was told 7 – 10 business days to get results back, and it has been well over that. I called many times over the course of 3 weeks (waiting 20 mins each time) to see if my results were in, but they said they would call the lab and then call me back (which never happened). They also didn’t tell me when my results were in, or to call me before my appointment to tell me that their electronic faxes weren’t working. So they had my results back but their equipment wouldn’t let them view it. When I did finally go in, they had no records of my first visit, so I had to repeat everything I had previously discussed with the doctor. They wanted to take a blood sample again, but failed to do so after trying 4 times.
If you need to go for a physical or something that is not an important issue, this place may work for you. Otherwise I highly suggest going anywhere else.

I simply cannot describe how bad my visit was. I can’t judge whether Dr. Page is a great doctor, since wait time to see him is currently 2 months (!!!) — is this the VA? However, my visit with Dr. Meadows was a complete disaster, and her treatment plan (or lack thereof) was described as «absurd» by the next doctor to see me.
Save your health, sanity and money and go elsewhere.

It’s with a heavy heart I’m writing this review. My husband I both have been patients here for several years. We love two if the PA’s in this office, Brandy and Julie. And it’s why I can’t bring myself to give this place a one star rating. Those two truly care about you as a patient! But today was the second time we have been done wrong!
This review, in no way, would ever slam the care received by either one if those ladies! But rather the front office scheduling and what has been deemed acceptable. Several months ago my husband left after waiting more than an hour, STILL waiting to be called back! We asked that they credit our already paid copay and the did.
We figured it was a one time deal. But after today, we’re done. We both went to an appointment that required both of us to be there which in turn required us to retain a babysitter. After 45 minutes of waiting we finally decided it was time to go. We didn’t get called back. And we asked that our copay be returned because, well, let’s be honest we had an appointment and we aren’t returning.
They expect us to show up and us, as a patient expect to be seen. We did after all have to make plans for a sitter and readjust our day, we expect the same respect in return.
Like I said, I’m NOT slamming the care given by the Dr’s and PA’s but rather greatly disappointed in the front staff…
