My experience with this practice was not pleasant. Dr. Zhao is a good doctor, but you see his PA as…read moremuch or more than you see him.
I should have left after my first visit when patients were left standing out in the cold last winter. It was after lunch and the office didn't unlock the doors for 20 minutes after their office opened back up. They said they had an office meeting that ran over. The patients were very upset. I know because I was standing outside with them.
I overlooked that, but the first time I tried to call, after what I thought was an error, went unreturned. This was my second visit. The text I received, showed my appointment with Kyle. I tried to call about that, but my calls were not returned. I mentioned that to Dr. Zhao who immediately took notes and had the office manager call to apologize.
After more visits, I had a minor surgery that was over $109, 000. Even with insurance, I'll spend the rest of my life trying to pay off. That doesn't include his dr visits or therapy visits.
Almost a year rocked on and my last visit was with Dr. Zhao. I purposefully asked to see him for my appointment because I wanted what I thought would be my exit visit to be with him.
After the tech took my blood pressure and asked a series of questions, she told me Kyle, the PA, would be in to see me. I told her I made that appointment with Dr. Zhao, and at that point, she said, "Let me see what I can do." I could hear people laughing and talking right outside the door, but no one came to say, "Just a few more minutes" or anything!" After an HOUR in that room, I stuck my head out the door and said, "I've been waiting an hour. Do you know how much longer it's going to be?" The tech said, "You are next."
After another 5 minutes, Kyle, the PA came in. He said I'm going to access you and then Dr. Zhao will come. You could tell he was mad. After he did a quick assessment, Dr. Zhao came in. I told him an hour of waiting is too long. He just said, he has Kyle to help with some of the appointments. I told him I understood that because many of my visits had been with Kyle, but I specifically asked for him on the appointment whereI was hoping to have the restrictions lifted. The restrictions were lifted, and I could not wait to leave that office.
It seems the price of healthcare is rising but the level of care isn't.
Needless to say, I would not recommend this office.
