AMR DESSOUKI Be alerted of this person's volatile behavior…read more Another alarming concern is his cleanliness, using dirty medical equipment. There are many elderly patients who endure many hardships and to have this man treat the elderly in this manner is unacceptable and heart wrenching to realize bad doctors are really out there! Hopefully one day he will be removed from practicing medicine and he realizes his mind set needs to be reevaluated and utilized in an environment that doesn't involve seeing patients (no pun intended but indeed very fitting) to ensure no one else has to endure the potential infectious illnesses that he may cause as well as his baffling disturbing behavior. Unfortunately he is the reason people fear going to a doctor. Never until now have I seen and felt an intense toxic environment at a place where it SHOULD BE safe and helpful. One bad apple can certainly spoil the entire establishment! All the other doctors should really stop, look, listen and pay extra attention to the way their business is being run starting at the front desk (no complaints there, but observed unhappy workers, over scheduled patients leaving upset) Hope this review helps others and if you witness something even if didn't happen directly to you, please help by reporting/sharing it.

Today I saw Dr. Jay Wang at North California Retina Vitreous Associates for a new concern in my…read moreleft eye, which previously had a retinal detachment repaired with a scleral buckle. My surgeon left Stanford and I have been doing my annual visits with Dr wang from last 3 years. Given my history, I was understandably anxious about new visual symptoms. Dr. Wang's credentials and expertise are impressive, and I appreciated that he was able to examine my retina and confirm that he did not see any new tears, holes, or signs of retinal detachment. But the check was barely even for a minute. I left the appointment feeling that I would have benefited from more explanation and discussion. My symptom was new and unusual, and because it was in the same eye that had previously detached, I had many questions about possible causes and what I should watch for going forward. The visit felt very brief, and I would have appreciated a little more time to understand his assessment and next steps. I respect Dr. Wang's expertise and the reassurance that my retina looked stable. My feedback is that spending a few additional minutes explaining findings and addressing patient concerns would make the experience even better, especially for patients with a history of retinal surgery who may come in feeling anxious. Overall, I appreciate his knowledge and I hope future visits allow for a little more patient discussion and education.

DO NOT GO TO THIS DOCTOR! From a medical standpoint he might be a good surgeon, but he is…read moreunprofessional, apathetic, and straight up a HORRIBLE person. My mother had her cataract surgery done by Dr. Liu in July. After her second eye she felt nauseous most likely due to her vision being off during the healing process. She scheduled an impromptu appointment 2 days after the surgery, and it was confirmed that her healing was ok and recommendations to wear sunglasses and not stare at iphone/ipad screens would probably help. When my mom stated that maybe her anxiety got the better of her Dr. Liu said "OH, SO YOU'RE CRAZY?!" My mom was taken aback because what type of person let alone a Dr. would say that to another person. When she stated back that her anxiety is managed by medication and a Dr. he said "OH, SO YOU'RE CRAZY, BUT YOU KNOW YOU'RE CRAZY!" My mom started to cry under her sunglasses, and then he said "I'M JUST JOKING". Let's be clear Dr. Liu, MENTAL HEALTH is never a joke, but a medical professional "joking" about mental health is disgusting and absolutely feeds into why there is still a stigma in this country about mental health. He was so out of line and inappropriate with these remarks that if I had someone to report him to like a malpractice suit I would do it. I would ask him how he would feel if a loved one received the same treatment by a Dr. who has taken a medical oath for good and not to be a BULLY! There are plenty of competent eye surgeons in the Bay Area. Surely, you can find one that doesn't make you feel horrible about yourself like Dr. Liu made my mother feel. FYI - If giving zero or a half star was an option I would have done that. I'm disgusted by this unprofessional behavior by a medical professional.

I don't usually write reviews, but I wanted to give others a heads up…read more I came to this office for a glaucoma exam and left extremely frustrated with the lack of cost transparency. Before scheduling the appointment, I provided my insurance information and asked multiple times for an estimate of my out-of-pocket cost. I was told they couldn't give one until the doctor determined what tests were needed. I even asked for a call back once the doctor had reviewed my case -- but no one followed up. On the day of my appointment, I asked again before seeing the doctor, and was told they still couldn't give me any kind of estimate. I felt pressured to proceed since I was already there. They also charged me a significant amount upfront due to my deductible, and was told that it will be adjusted later. A few weeks after the exam, I was billed an additional amount after the insurance and it was 3 times more than what I had already paid upfront. I even asked if there were any discounts or adjustments could be made to the out of pocket balance, and was told no. What frustrates me the most is that I made MULTIPLE good-faith efforts to understand the cost beforehand and was still kept in the dark. I understand that not everything in healthcare is predictable, but the complete lack of transparency really made me think that I was taken advantage of! As a patient in California, I now know that healthcare providers are REQUIRED to give a reasonable estimate of charges upon request, especially when insurance information is provided. This office did not make that effort, even after I asked MULTIPLE times!!! I ended up paying the out-of-pocket costs, but I wouldn't have gone through with the visit if I had known how much it would end up costing me. If you have a high-deductible plan or care about understanding your healthcare expenses in advance, I'd be very cautious with this office.

I need to tell everyone just how special Dr Engelman is…read more In October of 2014 (I was 69 at the time), Dr Engelman did my 2nd glaucoma surgery - this one on my left eye. A couple of days after the surgery, I woke up around 1:30 AM and noticed that I could not really see anything out of my left eye - everything looked 'very cloudy'. I called his emergency number and explained what was going on. The lady I talked to put me on hold. About 2 minutes later, Dr Engelman was on the phone. He asked me what I was experiencing. I described my symptoms and he said "Meet me in my office as soon as you can get there." We got there around 2:30 AM. Dr Engelman was there waiting for us. He measured the pressure in my left eye. It was down to 2. I had good reason to be scared. He told me that everything looked OK and that the pressure would come back up. I went home and by midday everything was OK. So if you take Dr Engelman as your Ophthalmologist, I am quite sure that is the kind of service you will get. I am now 80. I do not live in California anymore as we moved to Arizona in 2016. My eye pressures were between 20 to 26 when I went to Dr Engelman. For the past 11+ years they have been a consistent 10 to 11. I've had some very good doctors in my lifetime. Dr Engelman is the best I have ever had.
