If you are referred to this physician, you should ignore it and ask for a second referral now. He…read moreis a difficult and arrogant little man whom I would never trust again. His office is filthy and hoarded up with dingy, outdated clutter. Depression kicks in the minute you climb the steep stairs or risk the rickety elevator. His assistants and technicians are rude, and one of them has a major hygiene problem. Your appointment will always be scheduled for 3:00. So will everyone else's. That's the way this MediCal mill is run. The doctor is in surgery every morning and doesn't arrive at his office until well after that time. You are sitting in the waiting room when he rolls in.. If you arrive early... say 2:45, the waiting room will be empty. By 3:15, it will be crowded with all of us MediCal indigents who are this business's financial cash cows. All of our appointments are at 3:00, and you will be lucky if you called to an exam room by 4:00pm. Once inside, you're wait another length of time and a technician will come in and do pretty much nothing. One of them came into my exam room, called up a friend on the landline, and had a loud, lengthy, laughter-filled conversation, like I wasn't even there. Then they will send you back to the waiting room, where it will be another hour or two before you are called back to be examined or treated. Another time, I found myself in a small dark crowded exam room where two other patients were being treated, and another came in just to see if there was a sink where she could wash her hands. I went to this doctor for sudden onset of floaters in my right eye. He ignored the floaters and told me that I had a cataract in that eye. Two weeks later, I was in surgery, and wish I'd gotten a second opinion before going through with it. After surgery, I was legally blind in that eye for weeks. When I would visit the Eshegian about it, he would just stand there, thumbing through a book, wondering why I could not see, and telling me that it was impossible that I could not see. His only solution was another surgery and glasses. I wasn't about to let him cut into my eye again. His selection is optical frames is from the 1980s. Seriously. And not good, fun 1980s. I had a cool pair of frames that he filled with prescription lenses so far off the mark that my eyes would instantly cross when I put them on. I didn't want anymore to do with the place or the doctor, so I ended up buying generic readers. Here are a couple of extra tidbits, to drive my point home. When I was in pre-op, waiting for the doctor to arrive, the attendants actually joked with me about how stingy Dr. Eshegian is. They told me how he will always pocket the eyedrops that are supplied for the patient at surgery, and write them a prescription that they have to fill before applying the drops. In his exam room, he has a LOCKED cabinet that is full of eye drops and ointments. If he uses one on you, he returns it to the cabinet and locks it, as if you might steal from his precious hoard of expensive drops. My final opinion, after these experiences, is that this is a super-seedy business run by a doctor who is shady and unlikeable.
