Lim Nida - Paramount Care Medical Group

I was looking forward to taking my children (3 boys) for a physical with Dr. Archie Cachola. The front receptionist looked at the records I had for my children and they decided that needed to get the physical was Robert.

The physical went well. Dr. Archie Cachola announced that according to immunization records, my son Robert Sandoval 15, needed 4 shots. I did mention that my kids were up to date with shots but he looked annoyed when I made that comment. He said he was basing his decision on the record book I provided. Dr. Cachola's assistant, Rocio, proceeded with the doctor's order and starting giving shots to Robert. After the 4th shot, my son collapsed! It happened so quickly, he fell to the floor, flat on his back, hitting his head. I fell to my knees, held his head on my lap calling out for Dr. Cochola. My son had collapsed right outside of Dr. Cachola's office. Dr. Cachola continued sitting down at his desk, made no movement except looking at me and and asked me to "be quiet" !!!! His assistant and I were trying to attend to my son. Robert became semi-conscience, then again fainted! The Dr. still made no effort to help. His blood pressure dropped, he got sweaty and clammy. At this time I am again calling Dr. Cachola for help. He raises an eyebrow and said that he has to finish his paperwork!!!! I said "NO, you need to help my son". With a lot of hesitation and anger he came out of his office to help me with my son. After seeing the incompetence of this doctor, I immediately asked his assistant to call 911 for me. I could not believe that I was at a doctor's office, was getting no help and had to call 911. I told Dr. Cachola, if he is a doctor, that I did not appreciate his behavior or medical ethics (he has none). He responded with "what?", walked into his office and made one more comment "fuc_ you". One of his assistance walked into his office behind him after he said this and made a comment to him. I don't know what she said, but then I did not hear anything more from Mr. Cachola. I am very concerned not only about my son, but also for other children he sees, after all he said claims to be a pediatrician. I would appreciate it if you would look into this. I would like to get back a response. I don't know if I were responsible for this clinic if I'd like him working for me.
