Dr. Michael E. Etomi

Very disappointing. Runs periodic labs. No investigation into cause. No treatment to slow progression or improve condition. Waste of time.

Does Not Seem Interested in His Patients. No time for questions. Spent most of his time on the computer editing the notes from our last appointment to create notes from the current appointment. Does not answer questions. Does not look for cause. Does not treat. Just runs labs every 8-12 weeks. Not what I would consider remotely decent care. He glosses over lab results but does not provide reports or give online access (despite repeated requests for access to their portal).

Never follows up, didn't contact me for a scheduled virtual appointment, and generally seems disengaged and uninterested in listening to my concerns.

Was under this doctor’s “care” for a full year and probably spent less than 15 minutes with him in that time. My kidney function steadily declined over that year, but his approach was basically to do labs every 3 months and wait. No real treatment plan. No biopsy was ever done to figure out the cause of my issues either, and when I brought it up he pooh-poohed the suggestion and said it wasn’t necessary. He gave me little to no information about my condition and I was basically flying blind the entire time. When my kidney function dropped down to around 20% he did finally put me on a blood pressure medication - one that gave me gout flare ups weekly. When I called his office to inform them of this and sent over labs from my PCP reflecting my sky-high uric acid, no one ever bothered to return my calls. So, I ditched the medicine and the doctor and transferred over to Dr. Kathleen Doman. She spent more time with me during my initial appointment than Dr. Etomi did in a year. She listened to my concerns, detailed a plan of action, switched up my medications, and got a biopsy scheduled right away, which revealed --surprise, surprise — that the cause of my kidney disease wasn’t even what Dr. Etomi assumed it was! See Dr. Doman and stay far away from Dr. Etomi if you value your kidneys. I’ve never had a worse experience with a doctor. He doesn’t even deserve one star.

Dr Etomi is a brilliant, kind, sensitive, respectful, man. I move from New York, and had to find Nerphrologist. I’ve been dealing with a nephrologist for over 20 years and loved my doctor in New York. I did a lot of research, before choosing Dr Etomi. I’m not always the easiest person to deal with. God sent me the right man. I knew from the moment I met him, that he was very special. He listens to everything I had to say, and believe me I can talk. And he responded in kind. I’m very knowledgeable about my disease, and he was extremely respectful and appreciative of my knowledge. I know this is the beginning of a journey, and I believe the future will be remission. I trust him completely! If you’re looking for a nephrologist that sounds like Dr Etomi, take my word he’s great. Dr Etomi is a brilliant, kind, sensitive, respectful, man.

Dr. Etomi is a great nephrologist. He takes his time. Staff there treat you like family. They show you love and plenty of respect. I love them all.
