Dr. Franklin Arthur Rumore, MD

I saw Dr Rumore as a child in the '70's. I remember many of the sessions and attribute my ability to process my feelings at an early age to them. Now, as an adult, I am comfortable to seek counseling and feel that I have made sound life choices resulting in being emotionally available to contribute in a positive way to society

always able to accomodate my busy schedule.

His guidance helped my child move from an unpromising student in 3rd grade to a successful honors student at a prestigious university (Jr.) could not ask for a better outcome.

I have seen many psychiatrists over the years for my depression and anxiety. Dr. Rumore is one of the worst I have ever seen. He doesn't care about the patient at all, just wants to write a prescription and collect his money. At my last visit, he refused to talk to a family member that was with me (wouldn't even allow them in the room with my permission!) He yelled and screamed at me, and told me that he NEVER puts any patients on disability. How is it possible that NONE of his patients ever need to be put on disability? He refused to listen to my family history of psychiatric disorders and refused to even treat me unless I "shut up" and just let him prescribe a medication. He stacks his patients 15 minutes apart and doesn't allow time to listen to recent problems and concerns. He accused me of "having an agenda". My only "agenda" is to get help and get better. This doctor only made me worse. Do not see this doctor if you care about your health and well-being.

Dr. Quackmore is the worst doctor I have ever been to. The last time he YELLED at me was the last time I spoke with him. Check his Yelp and other review sites. He has a TERRIBLE rating.

Dr. Frank Rumore is the worst doctor I have EVER been to and I will NEVER go to him again. Recently he prescribed a medication that required pre-approval from my insurance company. After my leaving messages for him for two weeks and after several notifications from the pharmacy, he finally called me. When I told him that the problem with the insurance coverage was with the dosage, he YELLED at me to â??just take whatever they would give me.â?? I explained to him that since HE was the prescribing doctor, he had to order the medicine. I further explained that other doctors have had to deal with pre-authorizing medications for me and it was never a problem before. He then YELLED at me me that he wouldn't fill the paperwork out because it --- "wasn't worth his time"---. He repeated this several times. He then YELLED at me that if I wanted to come sit with him while he filled them out I could [because then, of course, he could charge an office visit]. It appears that Dr. Rumore will only do things that result in him getting paid, regardless of the welfare of his patient. I told him thanks for letting me know I wasnâ??t worth it. End of conversation.

Iâ??m 60 years old, have seen numerous doctors over these many years, including psychiatrists. In my opinion, I can say without a doubt that Dr. Frank Rumore is the most arrogant and unprofessional doctor I have ever had the misfortune of treating me. Dr. Rumore is quite quick with his script pad because he doesnâ??t care to waste his time â?¦ perhaps thatâ??s not a good thing. His treatment is so poor that I decided to write this rating, as well as to report my detailed experience of his service to United Health Care, my insurance carrier. I usually do not have time for this sort of thing. In closing, you would be well advised to Google his name and check him out for yourself on this and other rating sites â??beforeâ?? you decide to seek treatment from him. I sure wish I had!

This was my first visit to Dr. Rumore-I sought out Dr. Rumore to replace my current doctor because my insurance no longer covered him as a provider. I found Dr. Rumore to be straight forward and to the point yet kind and sympathetic to my unique situation. He listened to my explanation of my life with interest and concern. At the end of the session based on what I had told him of my current condition which envolved taking no more medication that I had made on my own that it would not be necessary to continue medication and no follow up appointment would be necessary. I felt satisfied with the decision and we parted ways. I felt good about my first visit and would recommend him to others in need of a doctor.

Terrible doctor. Can't be bothered to provide the information that an intelligent patient needs when having to take prescription medicine. Will not be seeing him again and will recommend against him at every opportunity. I would put a negative "Bedside Manner" if I could. Also watch out for his contact that charges you full prices for an accidental missed appointment. They are nasty about it. I can understand some fee for it to make sure you don't miss it again but the full fee is a terrible policy that I have not seen anywhere else. Instead they loose patients like they did me. It should not be considered if you want someone who cares about his work and not just about money.

I brought my then 16 year old to him for medication management because there are no Psychiatrist in my City that treat teenagers. He was fine but his office staff is rude and horrendously unprofessional and uneducated at their job. I added my daughter to my insurance so she would have a secondary plan. Gave the Dr the card and let him know that she now had dual coverage. I then started receiving EOBs showing the $25 copay which was for the secondary plan. I called and left a message because no one ever answered their phone there. never received a call back, continued receiving EOBs with the $25 copay, called a few more times and finally got a call today (she left a message). She tells me, "oh, we are understaffed and don't do secondary billing so shes sending me the superbills to do it myself." It would have been nice for Dr Rumore to tell me that and for her to answer my repeated calls BEFORE the billing limitations ran out with the insurance company! Very unprofessional.

As another reviewer noted, I switched medical plans and the new company would not cover the brand-name prescription that Dr. Rumore had written (he put me on it because he had some free samples in the office). Dr. Rumore wanted nothing to do with it, said he would not call the insurance company, it was inconvenient. The company sent me docs saying I could either appeal or send evidence that I had tried generic medicine first...I faxed this info to Dr. Rumore, go no response...called him the next day to follow up, was told I'd get a call back...nothing. A couple of times I was told I would get a call back...nothing. He did give me some samples of this medication to tide me over, but still no permanent solution. It's pretty clear at this point he that I'm more of a nuisance to him than a revenue source. That's fine, we can go our separate ways, but in the meantime I don't have the anti-depressant, aside from the samples he gave me. I will look into reporting him to the proper authorities.

This doctor is very unprofessional and does not know how to treat his patient. I went to his office to get treated instead he got angry and mad at me. I do not recommend him.

I had informed this doctor that a particular drug made me violent. Much to my horror he prescribed the same drug to me (same family different name)! Luckily I looked it up when I felt my body changing and quickly took myslef off. This doctor does not care to listen or listen to care. I felt he was already retired in his chair and was dead to everything I said!

This doctor's bedside manner is reprehensible. He is cold, unfeeling, disinterested, and condescending. He has no interest in what you have to say. He just wants to get to the bottom line so he can write you a prescription. He does not have the decency even to refer you to someone that could possibly help. But...if you just need some drugs, he is the one for you!

By far one of the worst psychiatrists I have EVER been to. Treated me flippantly and could have cared less about me as a person. I was simply an appointment. Dr. Rumore disregarded the withdrawal effects I had from Lexapro and told me it was just anxiety. This concerned me greatly considering all the reviews I read online about withdrawal effects matched up to what I was feeling. I felt frustrated and angry with the lack of care Dr. Rumore provided me with. Doctors like him should not be allowed to practice. Seeing this jerk of a doctor was a waste of my time and money. Worse yet, my mental health suffered due to his lack of care and poor treatment plan. His job is to make sure I feel better and am comfortable if/while changing medications. I would not recommend Dr ... I have EVER been to. Treated me flippantly and could have cared less about me as a person. I was simply an appointment.

I would not recommend Dr. Rumore to anyone who wants to understand the medications they are on or will be taking, wants to feel better, wants more than 5 minutes for an appointment, expects to be treated with respect or wants a caring psychiatrist. I don't know why anyone would expect anything less for their health and well-being.

Uncaring, manipulative and dishonest. Hired by a reviewer to rate ongoing eligibility for a public program, Rumore reversed what I told him, invented a history of drug use I told him I was too epileptic to indulge in, concocted social excesses I never said I practiced, and invented segments of my life history I have not experienced. Rumore is the only openly deceitful physician I have ever experienced in my life -- and seeing him was the worst medical experience I have ever had.

You are in and out before you know what happened. If you are expecting anything more than a prescription, you are out of luck.

I have been seeing Dr. Rumore for a little over 2 years and felt that he was fine for what I needed in a doctor which was basically a script every few months.Then my insurance provider changed to a company that didn't have my medication on their formulary. The insurance company stated that I would need to try (and reject) 3 separate generic medications before they would approve my current (working) medication.I made Dr. Rumore aware of this 2 weeks PRIOR to the insurance change taking effect, yet he refused to do anything. Not only did he not contact the CA Dept of Mental Health (MHSA) to give them my diagnosis (as I was instructed to ask him to do), he wouldn't even make a phone call to the insurance company to get a pre-authorization for me to continue to receive my regular medication.When I finally reached Dr. Rumore on the phone (we'd been exchanging information via voicemail), he told me in no uncertain terms that he wouldn't make the phone call to the insurance company because it was "inconvenient". When I questioned how it was more convenient for him to prescribe me a generic of a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DRUG, he said that he had nothing to do with it... that it was between me and my insurance company and that he had "never done a pre-authorization call in the 30 years of practice and (he) wasn't going to start now". So basically, I was left with no medication, no future prescriptions and a Dr. who was, for all intents and purposes, refusing to treat me. I was only able to rectify this because I had been taking my medication for over 5 years with no issues, and, due to that, the pharmacy dept of my new insurance company grandfathered my prescription into the coverage and I am now authorized indefinitely for my prescription.I intend to see Dr. Rumore for my next scheduled appointment if only to get my medical records and another prescription written to tide me over until I can find a new psychiatrist. Based on this most recent experience I would never, ever recommend Dr. Rumore to anyone else. Even as (as someone else described him) "a drug addicts dream" Dr. Rumore leaves a lot to be desired.

My son was seeing Dr. Rumore, and he definately did not care, and had a nasty attitude. He screwed up my son's medication perscription, and then when the insurance company sent him a short form to complete so my son could get his meds, Dr. Rumore failed to complete it properly and my son ran out of medication. When I called to speak with Dr. Rumore about my son running out of meds, and was unsure how to handle the medical situation, Dr. Rumore cut me off and would not speak to me about it, stating that he "hates" insurance companies. I switched doctors after that, and now Dr. Rumore has sent me to collections for co-pays which he failed to credit on his books, but for which I have copies of cashed checks. He sent my account to collections, and they contacted me at 4pm yesterday claiming that they had mailed me letter (which I never received), and that if I didn't give them my credit card number for the balance by 10am today, they were going to report it on my credit.

Dr. Rumore does not care about the patient. He doesn't really want to hear anything. Just makes you come in for a new prescription even though it is not helping! Medicine prescribed did not help, doctor did not fix problem so quit seeing him.
