Yonas Ateshim, MD

Dr. Ateshim is an excellent internal medicine doctor at Kaiser Permanente. He is very professional, patient, and genuinely caring. He takes the time to listen, explains everything clearly, and makes you feel comfortable and respected during every visit. I never feel rushed, and I truly appreciate how attentive and thorough he is. I highly recommend Dr. Ateshim to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate physician.

Avoid - Arrogant AND Incompetent: While among the revolving door of doctors 'filling in' for my doctor while on vacation, I had the misfortune of having Dr. Ateshim assigned to attend to my Rx being sent to the wrong pharmacy. Being the 4th doctor in a row to mess this order up, each in their own unique way, Dr. Ateshim then proceeded to BERATE ME as if I am a difficult patient for insisting that I be able to actually access my prescription, saying, 'This is the 4th time, he is making us change the pharmacy.' Well guess what Doctor - if you and your associates hadn't messed up the order FOUR TIMES yourselves that wouldn't have been necessary, would it have? Especially considering you ordered the WRONG MEDICATION in your rush to just 'be done with me', it's amazing you have the audacity to paint ME as the problem. This is outrageous and unethical.

I have visited Dr Ateshim on a regular basis over the past year. He is always patient, understanding, does not rush me, goes out of his way to help and takes time to research what I ask about.I would most certainly recommend him.
