Dr. Michael V. Baranauskas, M.D. (Primehealth Internal Medicine) Former ---Patient / Client Mentor Ohio
I had been a patient at this location for about 5 years. My doctor leftthe practice last February. I picked another doctor here new to the practice.
He had me paying for Lab work for the same test 3 times but he never increased the medication that would chnage the result until I had wasted my money the 3rd time for the samre blood work.
He would dicsuss medical conditions and treatment with me but have his nurse do paper work for totally the opposite.
He would tell me he was ordering certain Labs and send me for something totally diffefent than discussed.
He would leave information off my forms for me to get my medication.
If the form was complete the prescription would be missing.
The office became too cheap to mail my papers.
I would be in his office with him all of 15 minutes I was charged $159.00.
The office manager Arlene appeared to be a man in drag. She did not respect the privacy of the patient. I was in the waiting area she and the secretary was discussing me all loud with others in the waiting area. All of my business was all over the office. The man Arlene wrote the letter but had Barnakass sign it.
The words used is wwe, us, and our. Sound loke more than one person to me.
Dr. Baraankass demanded I get a nerve study for $550.00 out of pocket, (no insurance). I refused to pay this amount just to receive pain pills.
This office and doctor on 2/14/08 mailed me a letter dismissing me as a patient. The reason "deterioration of the patient and physician relationship."
Was I to efficient? Wanting thing done properly? In a timely fashion?
Since the first doctor I was seeing there left the new doctor and staff their service was less than satisfactory.
This office and doctor refuse to service me as a patient beacuse of my race or ability to pay 100% for poor service. I believe this in my heart 100%.
God is so good, I had been searching for another doctor before I had any knowledge of this letter. God was preparing me.
I don't want to a patient there with inadeguate service and incompetent doctor and staff. Every process was always incomplete, and I did complain.

I am a former patient of Dr. Baranauskas, and my experience was completely positive. His practice was minutes from my residence, and I initially picked him mostly arbitrarily when I needed to see a doctor, but was very, very glad I did. When his practice moved to about twenty-five minutes away, I found it worth the drive. I was disappointed when his next place of practice was just too far away to follow him there as well.
I found him to be very competent, professional, personable, and compassionate.
I'm sorry someone else's experience was not the same.
