Dr. Natalie Yee, MD

She works in the ICU step-down unit at Kaiser on Zion. When asked a specific question was advised that I "did not need to know that" and she "was not going to take the time to explain it to me". She has a very poor bed-side manner. We felt as family members she did not listen to us or hear our concerns. She tends to speak at you, not with you. She does not like to be questioned. I am a nurse, but I am also a care giver to a family member. If I were interacting with her on a MD to Nurse level, I could possibly understand (and ignore) her mannerisms as some MDs do not value their nursing staff, however as a family care giver to my loved one her behavior was unacceptable and inexcusable. We feel she jeopardized our loved ones long term care plan as previously planned between us and by our loved ones neurologist and ICU Hospitalist from Kaiser San Diego Medical Center.
