Daniel Philip Ikeda

In January 2020, I had a severe asthma attack and landed in Sutter Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit and Critical Care Unit for 8 days. Dr. Ikeda and staff cared for me and found the right medicines to return me to health so I could leave the hospital. Dr. Ikeda and staff are very efficient, knowledgeable and professional. I could not ask for better care.

Dr Ikeda did not look beyond what he thought was obvious and as a result I have permanent damage to my lungs. When the treatment he prescribed didn’t work He should have moved on to look for another cause to my problem. He did not. He continued to treat my problem with more and more of the same. Stronger and stronger meds. With no improvement. Dr Ikeda’s lack of critical thinking and prescription of the wrong meds caused my problem to flair up further and exacerbated the actual problem I have. The misdiagnosis and mistreatment as well as the lost of precious time has caused me to have permanent damage to my lungs and I will be affected the rest of my life!!!!!

Because of Dr Ikeda’s misdiagnosis, mistreatment, shortsightedness, and poor critical thinking abilities I have permanent damage to my lungs. He only looked to the obvious in diagnosing the problem. When treatment did not work he persisted in giving me more and stronger meds to treat the same. He did not really look to see why the meds didn’t work. If he had looked further he would not have missed testing for the real problem. The time wasted, the misdiagnosis and the incorrect prescription of multiple meds all exacerbated my problem. I now have permanent damage that will be with me for life. There is no cure.

Dr. Daniel Ikeda is a very knowledgeable Pulmonary Specialist. He is very personable and has always taken time to listen to my questions and concerns as a patient and give me accurate and professional advise in response. I would never go to anyone else in the Sacramento area as long as he is available. I would rate him 5-stars!

This heartless gem of a doctor refused to see me because my illness was too hard to treat, and would require too much follow up. His medical license should be revoked.

Staff did not know how to advise patient on where and how to get required testing done. Up to patient to figure out what to do and where to go after patient found they didn't know how to test. Never told me my insurance would not cover testing - no info at all -- they didn't even let me know I was supposed to have courses of antibiotics beforehand. Post treatment, once the doctor figured disease was resolved, he had zero time to answer questions regarding potential for recurrance (common with this insect-caused disease. Lousy experience overall and have found another doctor.
