Erique Emel MD | Kaiser Permanente

"Dr. Emel has been both of my sons pediatrician for over 13 years, and when I say that he is the most attentive and professional physician that is exactly how my husband and I feel. I do not know who the person/persons are who have written such false statements about Dr. Emel. Shame on you. This is a man who has been and done nothing but good for his community. Thank you Dr. Emel."

"Hmmm...I have taken my daughter and I know of others who have taken there child to, Dr. Emel. He is a great doctor. I have never heard these kinds of complaint from anyone."

"Emel is disrespectful and condescending. He talks down to people instead of helping them. He does not have a good bedside manner. His social skills need a lot of improvement. I've never met a doctor who acts so supercilious, "high and mighty". If you see this doctor, I advise you to get a second opinion. He didn't believe me when I said I was in horrible pain. The pain he advised me to ignore when I was younger is thriving today. (It definitely did not "just go away in a few years" with a prescription of Motrin, sir.) A few people from my family have had him as a doctor, and they each were disrespected, appalled, and speechless from how he responded to their visit. You don't expect to hear such rude comments and sarcastic remarks from your doctor. No one likes being talked down to. You want to feel better when you leave the hospital, not worse. It's as if he wants you to feel stupid for being in pain. Doctor, you don't have to baby your patients to make them feel better, but you do need some kindness and understanding. That's my prescription for you."

"Very rude, sarcastic, judgemental and looking to make stereotypes. He needs people skills. He left me speechless and not satisfied. I wanted a refund and he needs a training on professional skills. Would not visit again, rather use web md."

"Was not willing to continue be my daughter’s doctor because we declined the flu vaccine. He is condescending and I always felt that my parenting was judged. I’m sure he means well but we just did not connect."
