Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Bedside manner was a joke
Dr. Doberne's attitude toward our whole family was so startlingly dismissive and rude, it felt like a parody of an insensitive doctor. She literally told us that she needed to hurry up because she had "a holiday dinner to attend." Avoid if you can. We were stuck in the ER with her, so we had no choice.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Doberne?
Dr. Doberne is a very thorough Doctor. My husband has been her patient twice. Once in 2021 for his heart. Then in 2022, after receiving a lithotripy and ended up with a hematoma. She is a very direct and caring Doctor. She made sure that my husband and I knew what was going on and what might need to be done. She made sure that my husband had everything he needed for his stay(cpap) etc. My husband and I feel Kaiser Permenante is very Blessed to have her. Thank you Dr. Doberne for what you do and how you do it. Your an Angel...
