Upon my arrival as a first time patient, without any prior warning, I was told that I was required…read moreto pay $250 in order to see the physician. I felt something was not right. When I called my insurance company to ask If I indeed needed to pay the $250 they said *absolutely not* and recommended that I leave. My insurance co. was adamant that I should not be charged more than my copay for this outpatient visit which validated my knowledge of my coverage. The insurance rep said that she was obligated to file a grievance about this unexpected charge. I left without paying and thus without a doctor's visit. Really frustrating. I initially thought this office misunderstood my insurance plan but after reading reviews of this doctor I believe it could be more sinister. I recommend avoiding this office and her Arcadia location as well.

Almost 3 weeks between appointment, plenty of time to get it done. No enough room to sit in the waiting room. They dont return phone calls. They over book.

I sit in a waiting room hoping to hear my Dads name to be called. His almost 98 year old frame…read moresitting with no other option but to wait patiently. We are finally called to the go into a hallway with chairs to be asked to wait again. An hour has passed. His eyes are tiered. Slowly he drifts in a cold waiting room. Arms crossed in hopes that his 93 pounds could blanket him with heat. I look into Dr. Choe's office where he proudly displays his life. The drawing his kids drew that brought him the most pride. The wedding pictures and the ultimate dad moment of becoming a grandparent. Every one of his patients has a story. A legacy of their own. Pictures hung on a wall. Memories of time spent with their families. Each hoping to get back to their lives. Living with circumstances that brought them here to this crowded office with one Dr. one Dr. that fills a waiting room. No respect for anyone's time but to ensure his time is well paid for at days end. I hope Dr Choe gets to read this and truly hears what I'm trying to explain. Greed is a real thing and in a city where people do not speak up can make it easy to overlook patient well fair. The story Dr. Choe reflects in his personal life is not the same as what he takes advantage of within a broken system. Look at your patients with the same respect you live your life. At the end their circumstances is what supports the life you live so well.

Please forgive me, Doctor if I got the wrong Dr. Balacuit, but I don't think I do. It has been a long time and who really knows the first name of doctors anyway? LOL If it is him, I went to this doctor for a general yearly check up for my first visit to his office. Although this was years ago (before Yelp or the internet even), I still remember this guy. I expected him to ask me a lot of questions during this physical. He should have drawn blood, checked my prostate, checked my urine, etc.. All that was done by him was that my blood pressure was checked and he checked my chest with a stethoscope. And he checked my reflexes and shined an instrument in each ear. That was it! When I complained about it not really being a thorough enough yearly exam, I remember he asked ME what else I wanted him to do! He is the doctor. WHY should I have to tell him what to look for? And... he didn't even ask me very many questions at all. I tried to be nice, but I felt I was being cheated out of a proper yearly physical! I went to him primarily because his office was just a few blocks from house. I thought I would give him a try since my doctor was retiring. Dr. Balacuit is Filipino. I usually get along with Filipino's very well. BUT NOT WITH THIS GUY.... He had a bad attitude right from the start in my opinion, almost instantly argued with me and didn't seem to know what the heck a physical should be like. I was really upset. I only get to have ONE physical a year and this guy, I felt either didn't care about my health or he didn't know what the heck he was doing. The worst part is that he argued with me almost immediately. That is very unprofessional and uncalled for. He must have been overly sensitive back then, because he probably heard the same complaints frequently. You can go see him if you want to, but as for me, friends. Forget it! I have NO desire to go through that again. In reading the other reviews, I see now that he probably hasn't changed much, because there are a lot of the same type of complaints listed here. This was my experience. I don't know, maybe he is nicer with other patients and acts more competently. These are just my opinions and observations, which I am entitled to have. :) I hope this helps Yelps readers.

Well, 5 years ago my friend in Hawaii told me about Dr. Shen and that…read moreshe had worked with her Mother 40 yrs.earlier. I was told I had Lymphoma and had started Chemo, which I wasn't to keen about. Dr. Shen was really interested in my whole being and formulated an herbal tea for me just by looking a pictures of my tongue and my blood work from at the lab. Dr. Shen has reformulated my tea 4 times, !st. time was to keep my energy up and so far I haven't missed any work unless it was climate related. Then being the chemo blew my large intestine open, I had an external clostomy bag. Dr. Shen reformulated the tea again so the Cardiologist then signed off on the reverse surgery. Another time Dr. Shen found in my lab work a life threating sepic issue that 2 other Palo Alto Drs. missed. Basically Dr. Shen is a real human being that cares about your good health, she has sent me a Christmas gift of edible mushrooms and even sweet rice which helped me gained back the 45 lbs. lost. She even called after Xmas to see if I would like some more shitakie mushrooms as her other patience. i have told dozens of friends and relatives about her as she saved my life!
