| - I had the complete displeasure of having an appointment with Jung Dao on Thursday, 2/8/18. I have had many Dr appointments, but I have never been treated so rudely as I was by Dao. When he told me that I would need surgery and that I would be awake during it, I made an anxious noise... "ahhh!" and he became annoyed with my anxiety. He, said, "aaaah, ;what?! There will be an anesthesiologist there, we are not like those dentists that administer anesthesia, we have anesthesiologists so there is no need to have anxiety."
At this point, I kept thinking that his bedside manner was awful, but maybe it will improve. Nope. He just became more rude. I asked him if they would be using a laser or doing it by hand, as I had seen that there is a laser out that makes an incision more precisely than a surgeon can. He again became annoyed at this and said that they have a state of the art facility and equipment and that it was all done by hand. I work for a hospital and had forgotten that my name badge was on, and he stated that, "they would never do a procedure at my hospital because we don't have the proper equipment." Very odd and egotistical.
He then told me that I do not have diabetic eyes, but that I have diabetic cataracts. I said, "that sounds conflicting." He cocked his head to one side and said, "Nooo!" Kind of like a teenager, the only thing missing was the eye roll, though I may not have been looking at him when he did it. I told him that I am not a doctor and could he please explain that to me. He then, with great annoyance, got out a large eye that shows the parts of the eye, most of which were missing, and began to, condescendingly, explain what he was telling me. Well, I had mentally checked out at that point and did not hear what this egomaniac was telling me.
This pretty much concluded our appointment, all I had left to do was book the surgery. I met with a very nice lady, Kim, who did her best to herd me into the Spectra facility, which Dao has a financial interest in, and she had my first surgery booked for 2/19/18. Kim was very sweet, but she sent the consent form, that she checked twice to make sure she had, home with me and called me twice on my drive home to talk to me.
This treacherous ride home, with my eyes dilated, with cataracts, at around 6 pm when the sun is the most brutal, heading west, was the absolute most dangerous drive I have ever driven. Kim forgot to give me sunglasses. I called the next day to cancel the surgeries, as I would never put my healthcare in the hands of someone who has forgotten the Golden Rule. Kim acted as if this behavior from Dao was new and something she's never heard of. However, later when I logged on to leave this review, I found that I am not the only one who feels this way.
My advice is to stay away from this doctor. I am glad I do not have to have any further contact with this man.
