I cannot believe that this doctor could have such high reviews. I always think that the people who write "I joined Yelp just so I could write this bad review" must be exaggerating, but here I am doing it.
My first visit, I waited for half an hour, only to receive about 5 minutes of his time, during all of which he kept trying to get out of the room. I'd have to blurt out the next question each time he was headed for the door. He made me feel like I was completely inconveniencing him by asking questions when, I would learn later, his office would charge me $250 for those 5 minutes (post-insurance I will owe $130). When I said I was thinking of seeing an allergist too, he pushed on me that HE does allergy testing, and I must wait a month to see HIM to do it.
Which brings me to the next part of the story. When I came in for my allergy testing, an NP conducted the whole testing. She was extremely informative, knowledgeable, and patient, and I would have paid good money to see just her. She helped get me my results, and we talked them over. Then, she said, we could have a nice consultation with Dr. Leung. Then begins the part where I sit awkwardly in a chair for 20 minutes while the NP goes out to ask Dr. Leung to please come speak with me NO LESS THAN 4 times. Finally, he comes in, and this meeting could not have been more than 2 minutes. It was basically "ok you're allergic to these things... you can get allergy shots with me for 5 years if you want" and tried to escape. I did my best to ask as many questions as I could, but he so clearly didn't want to be speaking with me that I eventually gave up.
Thankfully, the NP gave me some good info, so I am on the way to dealing with my allergies without the unnecessary shots. Dr. Leung never gave me the chance to really ask questions and learn my story, which probably would have given him different suggestions, and he never made me feel like he even wanted to help me.
I don't know if he just has too many patients or not, but I would never recommend this guy to any family member or friend, ever. I have a primary care doctor, an eye doctor, a periodontist, and a dentist that were all the first people I went to in their fields and I've appreciated all of them, so I'm not some crazy never-going-to-be-happy person. To me this guy seems to be after having the most patients so that he can get the most $$$$$$$$$$$$$$. read more
