Dr Leonid Basovich

By far the worst doctor I've seen in Sacramento ever in my life. Unless you are Russian or Ukrainian, his service will be below mediocre. I actually filed a grievance against him (former healthcare worker). He was inattentive, listened to nothing that was said (or didn't understand since his english is also below mediocre). My husband and I were dual booked for our appointments and led into the room together, when Basovich arrived in the room he could not comprehend that we were BOTH patients when we already stated we were both patients. He is a very careless doctor. I had multiple issues within the short 5 minute span before deciding to up and leave without receiving any services from him. Issue #1. Clearly unable to understand English at a capacity to help anybody aside from his Russian patients. No reason that "both of us" can't be clearly understood when you are asking who the patients are and no reason to have to repeat 5 times to the point of actually needing to point and say… "1 patient, 2 patient, BOTH patients." Since there was clearly a language barrier husband and I attempted to let it go. Issue #2. I am currently (to this day still) pregnant. This appointment was very early on in my pregnancy. I had some spotting and had gone to the emergency room, had received confirmation that the bleeding was non threatening to my pregnancy and that aside from a small tear, everything was progressing as it should. I explicitly stated all of this to Mr. Basovich (I wouldn't call him a doctor with his inability to properly do the job). His response was ok so you had a miscarriage. When I said no, he went as far as arguing with me and then basically telling me that he'll let the ob confirm the miscarriage then (who tf does that when clearly you were just told that wasn't the case) at this point I was ready to walk out but hubby asked me to give him a chance so we could just be done with our appointments and leave. Issue #3. I regularly informed his office after arriving at 2 pm that we needed to leave by 4:30 as we had to pick our daughter up from across town from daycare where we have to pay $15 for being even one minute late to pick her up. It was 4:15 by the time Basovich walked in after working with a patient that came in and was scheduled after us (still waiting in waiting room when we were brought back) but somehow he was in the room with them (Russian patients) before coming to see myself or my husband who were on time and waiting for a while. I walked out and let staff know no matter what we were leaving at 4:30. After two times of doing this, he was able to be pulled from seeing the patient that should have been seen after us to see us first (how kind), not. This man in the MIDDLE OF ASKING questions about health and why we were visiting ANSWERED the phone to a WHOLE OTHER PATIENT and told us that he needed to discuss this patients urology results (it is now 4:20 and we did not have time to sit around waiting for however long this discussion was going to take and blatantly told him that and that we weren't going to pay for being late to pick up our daughter on accordance of him having no respect for his patients time). He repeatedly said oh it'll be ok it'll be just fine. At this point, I looked over at my husband and told him it was time to go. Never in my life has a doctor even in an emergency room setting stopped to help another patient in the middle of working with one who actually was there first. I filed a grievance and switched doctors offices but much like I told Aetna, this man should not be practicing medicine in the United States. He lacks a common understanding of English and even the ability to properly help his patients with their healthcare needs. Not to mention the ghetto set up of the office for someone who's "been in practice" for many years. Never again. Even wellspace has better service (and that says a lot). Overall if this could be given a 0 or even negative star rating, I would definitely be giving that. Even a one star rating is way too generous for the crappy service he provides. See him if you want to die ?

If the office staff is rude and unprofessional it reflects on the doctor's leadership of his office. I didn't have a good experience unlike the doctor's website. It's all hype. I felt unwelcomed, treated disrespectfully by staff, and discriminated against. I was also deliberately provided inaccurate information by Dr. Basaovich's staff. Anthem Blue Cross informed me the information provided was not accurately stated and did not apply as provided. They said Dr. Basovich's staff either didn't read the Anthem notification properly or deliberately provided limited information that misrepresented the facts.

Extremely disrespectful, not even an ounce of professionalism, obnoxious and arrogant. Stay away if you want to be treated fairly, as you won't be getting that with him.

Worst doctor I've ever had in my life!!! He didn't explain anything to me. He wouldn't answer my questions. He tried to tell me that my anxiety doesn't hinder me in any way, which is far from the truth. He belittled me, tried to deny me my prescription, and treated me like an addict for asking for a refill for a prescription that I only refill once a year! Obviously if I'm only refilling it once a year then I don't have a problem. He lowered my dosage for no reason, even though I was already on a very low dose, and he refused to send my prescription to any of the pharmacies I asked him to. It was like he was on a total power trip and thought he was proving some sort of point by deliberately sending it somewhere that was inconvenient. He asked me personal questions that had nothing to do with my health like why I'm not in college and why I'm currently unemployed. It was very invasive and unprofessional. And one of his employees yelled at him in Russian and angrily slammed a door on her… way out. He is hard of hearing and I don't think he hears half of what I say, and it's difficult to understand him because he speaks low and has an accent and doesn't speak clearly. I would recommend avoiding this doctor at all costs. He forms his entire opinion of you and your condition based on first glance when you walk through the door and he doesn't care to hear what you have to say because his mind is already made up about you.

I'm amazed that this doctor still has his medical license. Wasn't even in the office when I had my appointment. I agree with everyone else. Don't go to him, I was crying while he was belittling me. I walked out.

I don't think this doctor has any interest in helping people, he is very rude, and not well educated. Worst experience, by far

WORST DOCTOR EVER, THERE ARE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE MY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS PERSON, I CANNOT CALL HIM DOCTOR, HE DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING, I BARELY UNDERSTOOD HIM AND HE IS VERY ARROGANT. RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME.

I would give no stars if I could. I would love to go on a page long rant, but I won't. Please don't go to this doctor. He has issues and should not be a doctor. Go see someone else.

I have given this Dr two chances, he is by far the worst medical practitioner I have had the displeasure of seeing. He is dismissive and arrogant. Please if you are assigned to this man I strongly recommend you ask for an alternate.

It's a worst experience in my life!!! Don't spend your time please!!!!
