I'm sorry. This would be frustrating. I hate when you can't find a good doctor. We're a military family so we have to be seen on base, and sometimes it doesn't always go smoothly.

Unacceptable. Thoroughly unacceptable. I'd say you lucked out. There are most definitely better places.

I cannot believe this! I would be absolutely livid. LIVID! I can't believe they could do that.

My kids doctor of over 20 years refused to write a prescription for a knee scooter for his injury since we had not made an appointment in the last year. They wanted us to schedule an exam first since we went to the urgent care and not them. So I will be looking for a new doctor for the kids

I hate to hear this. I know it happens but it is too frustrating.

I’m so sorry to hear that this happened to you.

That was really sad to hear, I've heard a few stories like that, it's so dissappointing.

I've never thought about this issue but I am glad to find out more about this argument!

I've not heard of doctors refusing patients before. I think you would be better off finding another doctor. That is shocking!!!

This is frustrating! I am sorry it happened to your family. I hope you find a much better doctor for your son soonest.

God bless those doctors. They are doing a great thing for families.

Sorry to ask but may I know the name of the doctor? It's just that I'm looking for one for my son and don't want to encounter the same doctor.

Hi, I hope you didn't include that doctor in your list of recommended doctors...

Of course, I didn't.

Napaka sad naman ng naging experience niyo with that doctor.

Thank you for explaining about his...I never knew! 🏨🍕

I'm so sorry, you and you family had to endure this experience. And i'm sure many other parents will be grateful for the list of pediatricians in the Philippines that you combined here in your blog post.

I am sorry to hear about your experience. I think that I would also feel bad if I were in your shoes. It's always good to have alternatives and options in such cases.

This is such a touching story. Thanks so much for sharing with me.

I'm sorry to hear you had such awful experience. It's great of you to list some doctors as well, very helpful and hopfully no one goes through something like that again.

I'd never thought about whether a doctor could refuse a patient before. This doesn't get talked about much.

thank you for sharing about this. definitely was not aware of this. and your list of doctors will help others in your area

This sounds overall like an awful experience. We had an issue with a negligent doctor, and I guess if it isn't a fit for either side, it is good to end the relationship. Sorry you had to go through this.

I understand. As father, we should try to do everything for the sake of our kids. It is better that you seek the help of another doctor.

Glad you found another one. Doctors are supposed to entertain patients without any standards.

You have given a very detailed list of clinics which i am sure would help others. Sometimes incidents like these happen and nothon much can be done , you did try a lot from your end as i can see.

Sorry to hear this. You handled things as well as could be expected.

Sorry you had a bad experience. We also did in the UK and feel totally let down by the system. So kind of understand where you're coming from.

I am sorry you went through this. As a doctor in the US, it requires so work to get rid of a patient -- you have to have a good reason that is documented and you have to make sure that the patient has information about another doctor that can care for them. Registered letters and all that. This doc seemed like she just dropped the ball -- bad medicine in any country

Very interesting! I didn't know about this at all.

Oh gosh, I'm sorry you have had to go through this. How hard.

I'm so sorry to hear about your awful experience. Marami po talagang ganitong pangyayari at sana wala ng makaranas nito. :(

I'm disappointed that a doctor would get emotional over hearsay. Are they not taught to deal with every type of behavior? I have seen doctors getting insulted by patients yet they still attend to those patients because the professional they chose require patience and a forgiving heart.

I'm really sorry you and your family had to go through this experience, you deserved to be compensated in any way possible.

I would think a doctor could refuse service, but from what I read they had no reason to refuse you. You were doing what the doctor said to do. Honestly though maybe its a blessing in disguise that you find a new doctor. One that is attentive on the things they say and will do, but most important care about your son's wellbeing. The doctor showed you who they really were and chose to dismiss you and your concerns. Find someone better.

Hi, can you message me the name of the doctor? We have a schedule with one here in Manila and her name is not on your list? Might be her and I don't want to take a chance. I really needed a development pedia who can help my son. Thank you so much.

Im sorry to find this; we had our own horror stories and one of the doc is on your list :(

Hi! We are scheduled to have an assessment for my son and the doctor is not on your list. Huhu. Can you email the not good doctor? Is she from Manila? Appreciate your reply. Thank you and God bless your family!

Why is Dra. Sheryl Kho not in the list? 🙂
