Arrogant & Rude, don't waste your hard-earned $ with this guy!..., Mar 30, 2012 I would absolutely NOT go back to see this guy; he's the epitome of the stereotypically arrogant, rude doctor. When he enters the room, he doesn't even say a simple "hello" or even look at you, for that matter--he simply sits down at the computer with his back turned & begins to brusquely ask questions. I believe in common courtesy--so when I politely asked if he always does this, he replied, "I'm just trying to get to this back pain issue...do I come off as standoffish?" When I answered yes, there was no apology--just a, "Well, it might be a problem for YOU, but that's just the way it is." I was speechless, like WOW. I told him there'd be no need for treatment, promptly left and called my credit card company to dispute my copay charge as soon as I got home. Docs, your years of med school don't give you carte blanche to act like a**holes...especially when we're paying you our hard-earned money! |

Excellent, compassionate surgeon, a true Asian eyelid surgery expert...., Feb 20, 2012 I recently went to Dr. Steinsapir located in West Los Angeles to address a bad asian eyelid surgery. I had surgery in South Korea. It was a big mistake. I live in California. I saw a bunch of so-called Asian eyelid specialists. The only one who talked to me in detail and made any sense was Dr. Steinsapir. He does surgery at the UCLA medical center. Thanks to his work, my eyes are much more symmetric, natural, and I don't look like one of my eyes was Westernized. He was able to fix the work of the prior surgeon. His office is very professional. |

Bad inguinal hernia repair. Trust your instincts and go somewhere else. Like a vet...., Feb 1, 2012 He has never made a mistake in his life. But I have had three more surgeries trying to fix what he did to me. I will never get those years of my life back. Go somewhere else. I kept going back, thinking he was trying to help me. He was just trying to prevent a lawsuit and tell me it was in my head. |

Staff does not call to alert patients of problems. ..., Jan 19, 2012 After 5 years as a patient, I made one late payment. The payment was in excess of $100.00 despite my usual $40.00 co-pay. Maybe Dr Leon's staff didn't submit to Aetna. I paid anyway. Months later, they refused to renew a refill and told me that I needed to pay cash for appointments now. They never contacted me about this. Rather, they let me run out of medication and then refused to refill. I had to miss classes that day and find a new GI. My GP was nice enough to authorize enough medication over the phone (on good faith that my labs had been good lately, which they were) until the visit with my new GI. That was lucky, many GPs won't do that, and I am currently stuck with ASU's GPs. Dr Leon's actions were negligent and unethical. I am looking into what legalities this may violate, and will press charges. To this date, Dr Leon had shown himself to be a fine physician, but this incident is unforgivable. His staff had always been a little dodgy. One of his staff tole me she would talk to Dr Leon to see if he would use a little discretion in this instance. I doubt that she did. |

NOT HAPPY WITH MY VISIT to see Dr. Sewall for ears!..., Jan 18, 2012 I was very unhappy with my initial visit to this doctor. I was treated rudely by the doctor, who talked down about other medical professionals, and made me as the patient feel like my symptoms were not important nor cause for concern. Instead of offering me more information to help me understand, he simply stated that he knew what was "not wrong" = NOT HELPFUL! I would not recommend this doctor for his bedside manner, his knowledge, or his professionalism! |
