by Aisha on Apr 25th, 2013

As a diabetic, who has a hard time with it, I find Dr. Cabbacan very geniuine with treatment. Dr. Cabaccan is my first endocrinologist, and even though I have moved away, and have seen other endocrinologists, I have returned as his patient, even though I reside 60 miles away from his office. I thank him for giving me the support to take care of my diabetes. He explains that Diabetes is a manageable disease, you can control it, and that to look at the treatment as a marathon in progress, not a race. I trust his diagnosis, and am thankful that he takes all precautions to check into whats going on. His staff is very nice. John is the best, incredibly courteous. Yes, it is a busy office, and that in its own is proof of an excellent MD.

started seeing Dr. Cabaccan about two years ago after my endocrinologist retired.On my first visit he scolded me for not getting the right treatment after my thyroid cancer occurred again. He stated that Palo Alto Medical Foundation was like a \"Kaiser Hospital\". Humm I should have discontinued his services after that remark.After the thyroid was checked out he went on to say I needed a bone density test. I scheduled this appointment with the staff about 1.5 years ago. 2 days before the appt date I received a call stating that they needed to cancel and reschedule, which I did.No problem.One day before the 2nd scheduled appt I was called again. The staff said they needed to cancel the appt. At this point I was upset that I had 2 appts rescheduled and made every effort to set time aside for the appt. I asked to speak to the manager who was abrupt and unpleasant and didn`t care about my inconveniences that they had caused. He quickly made a 3rd appt for my bone density. One day before the 3rd attempt at an appt for the bone density, I received another call canceling my appt.I was really upset that again I scheduled time I had to hire someone to help while I was at the doctor in my office. I asked to talk to the manager again, he would not accept responsibility for 3 cancellations. He told me he would tell the doctor about this.I had my appt to follow the bone density test that I never received today with Dr. Cabaccan. He came into the room and said that I had an anger problem. When i explained to him hard to get his attention, he kept interrupting me, he did not care how the cancellations had affected me. He stated that I had better find another endocrinologist. Fair warning to anyone thinking about going to this doctor.Doctors have to respect their patience also, they have no right to take our time and cancel as they did with me multiple times. Please take caution.

Mis-diagnosed my problem for well over a year. He`d rather pump you full of meds than find the cause. His office is dingy and he has way too many patients. That`s probably why he`s always so rushed.

After waiting almost 2 hours to see the doctor, he was very condescending and arrogant. He didn't even take the time to find out why I was there or what my symptoms were, before he started in on his food philosophy. He told me I was uneducated about food, and when I said no I think I know some about food, he said oh then I should quiz you on the calorie counts of food since you know so much. He proceeded to tell me that close minded people like me were a waste of his time, and I could walk out if I didn't like it. He then told me that I shouldn't believe everything I read in magazines (who knows where that came from), and that many healthy foods like broccoli, onion, and tomatoes have more calories than fast food, like big macs. When I was finally able to get a word in and told him my symptoms, he dismissed them and proceeded on his food tirade. He continued to tell me that one of his patients was on The Today Show for losing weight, and I should be thankful he was willing to help me. He then gave me a lab slip and sent me to get my blood drawn. As I was leaving, he "remembered" he should probably check my thyroid, which was the reason I was there. I have never been treated so poorly of talked to in such a degrading manner. When I called back two days later as I was instructed to get my blood work results, I was put on hold for almost 10 minutes and then told the doctor would call me back. He never did.

I had been with dr. Cabaccan for just about 2 years until I finally became fed up with him. There just wasn`t enough room for him, his ego and I to fit in the room. Seriously, this guy needs to take a big piece of humble pie and come back on down to earth! I`m a thyroid cancer patient and after complaining for over 2 years that I just didn`t feel \"right\" I left and went to a new doctor. Come to find out there was something NOT right and my new Doctor took the time to walk through tests with me. I highly recommend Dr. Bruhn.I tried my hardest to like Dr. Cabaccan, but there is something that just really irritates me when a doctor doesn`t listen to their patient or take the time to help them figure out what`s going on. Dr. Cabaccan is condescending and arrogant - find a different doctor peeps!
