I put the second star just to be nice.This guy is a Quack. I went in because I was having migraines and felt it had something to do w/ my sinuses. I was waiting for about almost half an hour when he finally called my name. He was outside of the room at the counter of the front desk, yelling into my room asking personal questions OUT LOUD. I asked the nurse, "What ever happened to doctor patient confidentiality?" The nurse tells me, "He just needs a table to write on." He steps in for a SECOND to check my heartbeat and breathing w/ his stethoscope...goes back outside and still talking super loud. Mind you I have a migraine that feels worse than than the worst hangover you can imagine and this ass*** is talking WAY louder than necessary. He walks back in again and quickly flashes a flashlight in my throat, nose, and ear and instantly says, "your throat, lymph nodes, and sinuses are all swollen and infected, you may have mono i want you to take these pills, not go to work and that I'll send your work a letter (I work in food and if they were to see that I might have mono they would've freaked out for sure!) and come see me again tomorrow at 4 if it doesn't get better in a couple of days You'll go to the hospital and be hooked on to an IV." I'm sitting there saying, "wait...what just happened?" I had never had mono and for a doctor to be so insensitive baffled me. So I asked him, "since this is a very serious diagnosis, do you know of somebody I can get a second opinion with?" He said, "You can go to the ER and see what they say." I did just that. I went to the ER at West Hills hospital, and when I told the dr at the ER about my migraines and pain and what Dr Stein had said, the ER dr ordered a CT scan, took urine and blood tests to check for mono, and didn't let me leave until they had an answer. Turned out I had a slight sinusitis and NOT mono but to take the meds that Dr. Stein prescribed because it would help w/ the swelling. read more
