Choi Young C MD Faafp

He’s terrible. Never go there. He missed drawing my blood 4 times. The hospital looks old and nurse was not kind. Don’t go.

Why is it so hard to find a decent Korean doctor in South Bay area?
Maybe there is, but unfortunately the Korean patients are not that active on Unilocal (I admit I used to be one) and Korean directory, search engine websites don’t have ratings or review. sigh.
My brother was recovering from food poisoning. Although food poisoning is self limiting, I still wanted my bro to see a doctor and he needed doctor’s note for his school. It was around 4pm and I had to call the offices if they took walk-​ins. There were two offices (including this one) that would be closing @ 6pm and who were willing to take walk-​ins. I decided to come here because the receptionist from the other office said that there would be a LONG wait.
It’s pretty tiny office and the tired-​looking (I understand…) receptionist handed me a form to fill out. I myself used to work at a doctor’s office and I was just surprised that all they wanted us to fill in was name, phone number, address, and insurance information etc. NOTHING about presence symptoms, history of illness, allergies. NOTHING about medical stuff. That was really unusual. On the receptionist desk there was a note that said «any paper work or form to be filled out by doctor will be charged extra.» I told myself ‘they better not for this piece of note…’ Anyways, We waited about 10 minutes until the patient ahead of us walked out with a prescription. Then the receptionist called my brother in. As I stood up to go with him, she said, «Are you the patient? It’s patient only.» That was weird. I’ve been to other offices and it never happened… I figured it’s because the examining room is too tiny for all of us? I didn’t argue… and after about 7 minutes, my brother came out with the note and a prescription (which turned out to be OTC med not the one that needed Rx). The doctor gave a discount, so instead of $ 80, they charged $ 60, at least that was nice. When we exited the office, I asked my brother what the doctor did and my brother said the doctor just took the temperature and palpated his tummy. Doctor didn’t take the complete vital signs (and my brother is A NEW PATIENT) and didn’t assess appropriately. Ridiculous! From then on, I was just sick of the place and the doctor. I decided to write a detailed review so anyone who may fall for same situation as me won’t be choosing this doctor… Never… ever coming back.
