Dr. Jorge Galindo

October 6, 2014 : 11:38am PST, I called Dr. Jorge Galindo, who was ordered by Judge Nathan Scott, to get on his schedule three 2-hour time periods to visit with my children in his presence during the month of October, November, December 2014.

October 6, 2014 - No call back from Dr. Galindo

October 7, 2014 : 10:50am PST, I called Dr. Jorge Galindo, left another message, requesting to get 3 2-hour periods on his schedule for the month of October, as ordered by Judge Nathan Scott.

October 7, 2014 : 2:45pm PST, Dr. Galindo called back and asked what the result was from our trial. I explained to him what happened and what the court is ordering him to do.   In his exact words, he said "I've never heard of anything like this".  He said he will call mom and get dates from her that work for her and call me back.  As Lauren has done in the past, I assume, she will make it very difficult for me to see my kids, and she will lie to Dr. Galindo, as he testified that she did to him already.  We'll see what happens.

October 8, 2014: 10am PST, I called Dr. Jorge Galindo, left another message
October 8, 2014: 5:24pm PST, still no response from Dr. Galindo, left another message.  Listen to the message of a frustrated father here.



October 8, 2014:  5:31pm PST, sent Dr Galindo a letter, requesting we get three dates on his calendar.  cc'd Don Bebereia

October 9, left message
October 9, 7pm, got a call from Dr. Galindo, said he left two messages for Lauren and she did not call back.  Was going to contact Mr. Bebereia.

October 10, left another message for Galindo 3:50pm.  Still waiting to get setup for times with the children.  Here a full week has passed now without getting something on his calendar.

October 10, 8pm, Dr. Galindo finally called, and just as you would expect.  He has no time to do what he was ordered by the courts to do.  Only was able to get one meeting scheduled, even though there is in order in place for 3 meetings per month.   The times he had available, Lauren simply told him that they would not work.  He committed to writing me a letter, acknowledging that he is simply to busy to accommodate us.

October 20th, 10 days have passed and after faxing Dr. Galindo last week, requesting a copy of this letter he promised, there is still no letter, to show the courts that in fact he doesn't have the time this month(again) to help make sure we are following the courts orders.  I called at 3:30pm, left a vmail requesting this letter again, and asked to confirm the date and time for the only meeting that he is able to accommodate getting me and my children together in October.


Why am I documenting this?  Because it was incorrectly claimed in court that I did not make attempts to contact Dr. Galindo this summer for a similar situation to see my kids.  It was not true.  I made more than a dozen calls this summer that were not returned.  My attorney, after weeks of silence, even made an attempt to reach him and schedule time together with the kids. Dr. Galindo was ordered by the court in May 2014, to make time available for me and the kids to get together in his presence.

Dr. Galindo's phone only rings to a voice-mail, he never answers this line.  So its a "leave a message, and I will call you back game".  I appreciate and understand this, but Dr. Galindo has told me nearly a dozen times that he does not have time to see me and the kids.  This blog post will document my efforts this month, and just how easy it is to get a hold of Dr. Galindo.

I will say this, Dr. Galindo has great bedside manor and seems to be one of the best in his field.

However, after him meeting with Dee Ann Newman, prior to our trial last week, he changed his testimony.  He told me at least 10 times that my children do not need his level of monitoring, and on several occasions, said that it was silly and preposterous that I needed a monitor at all.  He told me what questions to make sure that my attorney asked and what his responses would be.

I hate to assume that because Dee Ann Newman sends him so much business, that he thought of his wallet first, changing his testimony.  He just doesn't seem like that type of person.

Here is where I will list the events of this summer, as I go back through my call logs, personal calendar, and voice-mails.  To document how Dr. Galindo has and does not have time to take on our case, yet does not tell the court so.
