Throat started closing up, hives, instant migraine, dizziness as soon as I walked in the office. They use a very strong floral scented cleaner which sent me into a severe allergy attack. I had to leave without being seen. Why in God's name would an allergist use a scented product to clean?! I had to leave and I called the receptionist for my vehicle to tell her to shred my information and she got very snarky with me. Horrible experience would not recommend. read more

I've only had 1 appointment. So far, I'm not impressed. My appointment was at 8am. I was seen at 8:25am. The woman, Amy, was dismissive & never asked about my joints swelling or getting hot. She simply stated I was young & probably didn't have RA, even though I've already been diagnosed by an advanced medical center in NYS. Once I mentioned my Scleritis, she apparently relented that I did have RA and sent in the doctor. He was great, not super thorough, but it was my first appointment. I read, in previous reviews, that Amy dismissed another young patient (although, I'm 45 and don't consider myself young). Maybe she doesn't realize that the goal with RA is to start treatment early to prevent the joint damage associated with the disease. I had x-rays done (of every joint in my body) 5 years ago, that discovered I already had both RA damage and osteoarthritis damage. She only ordered X-rays for my hands and feet. I definitely don't feel like this place is as thorough as Upstate Medical Center in NYS. I felt like I was in good hands there. I also have latent tb. Upstate wanted to start me on the course of antibiotics to get rid of that, so that I could begin biologics. Amy said there was no need to take it now & that I should wait. It's an 8 month course of medication. Why wait until I need the biologic? Then, I'll be stuck waiting almost a year to begin taking it. What if I do need the biologic now? I haven't seen a Rheumatologist in 5 years due to COVID and my move to Florida. I also wasn't impressed with them not having an answering service. I noticed this sign when I came in (see picture). I know the medical profession is much different in Florida than NYS, but I was hoping for better from an RA/ immunology doctor. I'm extremely fit and active, do yoga, stretch daily, eat well... yet, all Amy wanted to offer me was a few sheets on how to stretch. Doesn't she think I know how to stretch? Maybe some of her patients don't, but she shouldn't assume no one does. Hopefully, the situation will improve after they receive all of my records and X-rays. I also read on here that they have been dismissive of another young patient! Look elsewhere is you are under 65!! read more

Tsai Yong H MD - Doctors Near Me - Daytona Beach, Florida

Dr, Tsai and his staff are very caring and professional. I am shocked at the negative ratings. my husband and I have been patients with Dr. Tsai for 25 years, would have no other as professional and he is simply like Marcus Welby, MD. He is concerned with all of my ailments and really cares about his patients. He is funny as well. When my hubby had water on the knee, he relieved the fluid and told him, you come back to see me when you get old. ha ha. (My hubby is 86). He is soft spoken, efficient and an expert on Rheumatology. His wife is a very professional lady and all the staff, Amy, Sally, Suzan, Dana and Max, and so many more that I have known over time who are incredibly efficient and concerned. I highly recommend this office and Dr. Tsai's gentle and efficient care, he truly listens! Thank you for all the years of caring for me, I have very complex health problems. read more

My experiences with Dr. Tsai and this office staff have been excellent. They finally got me established as Florida medical patient. My opinions about medical treatment is that if the staff is incompetent, overworked, or high turnover it doesn't matter what the doctor says... once the patient leaves doctor the staff controls treatment. I had terrible experiences with the other asthma allergy doctor's office staff here in our insurance plan. So by the time I found new GP, his staff helped me find a different asthma allergy practice. They felt patients reported better staff competence and accommodations. It's hard on my body handling my medical care flying across continent because I have other chronic health complications. I saw Dr. Tsai so he would essentially sign form for my existing doctor stating he would take over my respiratory care. After months of back and forth by other doctor's staff, each pointing to go elsewhere to simply get my serum into Florida... I insisted on waiting until I heard they will pass over serum for treatment to Florida. I couldn't prudently depart and trust that paperwork will get to appropriate parties and they confirm its adequate when I had been misadvised by both previous offices repeatedly. With time differences to Pacific Time Zone, it's pretty common that busy offices on different coasts miss each other. In heart of busiest time on one coast, the other side is available. When one time zone can be accommodating, the other side is at lunch or gone for evening. Additionally, my previous doctor only went to that office address one day a week. So if there is question, it's not a tomorrow thing. It's a next week thing that seems to be forgotten after a weeks worth of patients in between. So if I can catch them, best to get things done to completion or I am leaving a bunch of messages through answering service. After going back and forth between 2 states' medical offices from February until June, I was determined to get everyone each last thing they needed. Tia missed her lunch hour departure time to complete this process. I was on the finish line to having this administrative task completed. I had been talking to Florida medical offices about my shot serums release for five months at this point because I was initially misdirected in both states. No time for finger pointing, let's just get it done please. I came across as what was potentially confrontational because I was sitting there until the other state confirmed they had all paperwork they required. Mrs. Tsai was a bit concerned about my tone but I assured her that I was more frustrated with situation of what I had been put through in medical community because everyone is afraid of being sued. Shouldn't be this difficult to continue routine healthcare. She quickly understood that we were not angry with Dr. Tsai's staff. Not at all, I just want the verbal assurance on both sides that legal paperwork hostage taking of my allergy shot serum had ended for good. Mrs. Tsai even offered my husband and I cold bottled water as we sat in their closed office. It took some time for both medical locations to get faxes through to the other side. However, they worked it out directly and got it done! The staff at Dr. Tsai's office are like family. They look out for one another and covered for Tia so she could have lunch after we left. In my defense, I had also completed at pile of paperwork to cover every possible privacy and payment concern on Dr. Tsai's side of the files. It didn't seem excessive to request Dr. Tsai sign other doc's form indicating he is my new doctor now. If relocated patient's asthma, allergies were controlled by licensed medical doctor in state or nation requiring written assurances that patient allergy shot care will be monitored by a licensed doctor they give serum to, explanations about how Florida physicians operate does nothing to assist the patient. Dr. Tsai was first doctor who grasped my administrative nightmare and my appointment was simply to get his signature on a completed form. A fresh shot serum was stuck in another state for several months now. My GP's office couldn't sign form for licensed doctor oversight because they don't perform shot therapy. I think we are off to a great start. Dr. Tsai is a well rated doctor and I have complex enmeshed health problems so I feel my unique respiratory and immune system challenges will be appropriately addressed by the Doctor in the future also. Phew! I was impressed that the staff interrupted my appointment so Dr. Tsai to go check on patient having reactions to their shots. We heard him care for a patient over 90 years old down the hall and listened to front desk make arrangements for a struggling patient to be seen by doctor that same afternoon. I feel Dr. Tsai is compassionate about treating patients while they are suffering. I look forward to working with him in the future., read more

I've had multiple rheumatologist a over the years, he is by far the worst. I have multiple diagnosis of autoimmune disease and am very symptomatic. He did not explore diagnosis options and often dismissed what I was telling him. He simply did not want to try and blamed my immobility, skin lesions, and inflammatory issues on "being depressed". I'm not sure if he was dismissing me base on being a younger patient. Regardless his curt, rude behavior, had showed me this is not a doctor in it for the patients but the pay check. He never tried an actual treatment or medication. Instead consistently pushed a $250 CBD pill. If you want compassion, answers, and actual medical care, go elsewhere. read more
