Aaron Adaoag, MD

I was a patient of Dr. Aaron Anthony Adaoag. I went to him cause he was my PCP and I wanted to get a physical done. He had me go to a lab to get a test done. After wards, I went back for a follow up, the doctor informed me that I had an incurable disease. He did not offer a copy of the report to me. I was upset to find out this news because I thought for sure that I was clean. For over 4 months I thought I had this incurable disease. When I went to a second doctor for a second opinion, that doctor pulled the report from when Dr. Adaoag sent me. He informed me that the report stated I was negative. I asked him to run a second lab test from a different lab. The results from the 2^nd lab test were also negative. When I went to the Aloha Medical Center, they locked me out saying they was closed at 4:45pm. The next day, I called the Aloha Medical Center to ask them why I got a false report and that I would like a copy of my records. They informed me that I would have to talk to the office manager to get that information. When I asked them to transfer me to the manager, they told me they would have to forward my information and have her call me back. I never got a call back and I have been trying to get in touch with someone that can answer my questions. I would like a copy of my files but every time I call or visit the office they always tell me I have to speak with the office manager. I don’t normally post reviews but I felt like I needed to, so others won’t fall victim to this doctor.

Do not go to this doctor they are unprepared and almost useless. I got a sledding injury January 7^th, slammed my lower back/​spine into a tree and could barely walk/​stand for a couple weeks. So I called Dr. Adaoag’s office, who is supposed to be my primary «Care» doctor, they said they can’t get me in for 8 days, I asked for an earlier appt because I can’t move/​walk and the ONLY reason I got an appt 2 – 3 days later was because I told the nice new nurse I need an appt asap just for X rays and how several months earlier they did the same thing and made me wait weeks and got worse before going to therapy months later. So I go in told him what happened, he barely poked my spine for 4 seconds and ask if I’m tingly I said no, asked what else is wrong. I mentioned my throat and nose being irritated/​stuffy for a few weeks, and then he asked «Do you smoke?» I said «I stopped when cough came» he said «Well quit, that’s problem!». That’s ignorant/​obvious, he didn’t even listen to chest with stethoscope or anything, how does he know it’s not something serious? So they call 4 days later after x-​ray schedule, me for 9 days later, now I get a call and am told they’re cancelling, doc can’t see me and I have to wait another 4 days. Well at this point I’m almost better and it’s pointless but I need to see the results, I asked if I can just pick them up myself they said they don’t even have the x-​rays. So what am I waiting for? So I have to go to radiologist and get x-​rays myself. FYI, I reinjured my back again at work waiting to hear what the problem is with my current injury, big surprise!
This is about the 3−4^th time it’s happened. The 1^st time I mentioned earlier, I had dislocated my knee, asked for soonest appt, they made me wait 10 days in agonizing pain before seeing him, sent for x-​rays & follow up took 4 weeks, then 4 more weeks for MRI & follow up, and 2+ months for the results, after 4 – 5 reinjury’s, physical therapy starts, which should have been done within 2 weeks. Another time I was working with a bad virus, called, again made me wait 9 – 10 days coughing and barely able to breathe, and finally went in to get antibiotics. I’ve asked before, «Why is scheduling is so horrible, the soonest I’ve ever seen the doctor is 5 days?» I was told «We double book appts every 30 min and there’s only 1 doc» Well ill prepared, have no x ray machines, no blood taking equipment, no useful equipment at all, except to check blood pressure, EVERY issue I’ve had I have to be referred somewhere else, which I was ok with until now. After the 3^rd major strike of carelessness, I see the pattern now, it’s all about the money and I want a doctor that cares about his patients not squeezing as many people in for a day and cashing out. So I’m going back to my old doctor 15 miles away because at least they accept walk in’s, and I can get an appt, x rays/​MRIs, results and everything I need in less than a week.
Now for the good, only reason I’ll give this office 2 stars is if you need an RX, Doc note or referral to a specialist go here, I have seen some other great doctors that I’ve been referred to by Dr. Adaoag, which is why I been going here for a few years. Otherwise, if you have a serious Illness or injury worse than a bruise or cold I wouldn’t suggest using this doctor. I CANNOT work with bad injuries, risk getting fired for calling in with no doc note, and having to wait weeks and weeks for something that can be handled in a week or less. So I am forced to find my old doctor if possible. I just have to warn someone & I hope this helps at least 1 person.
