Samy Younis, MD's Online Review Report Card

the negative reviews don't lie. I saw this doctor a few times and already changing to a new one. I literally had major internal bleeding and he just tells me to change my diet what a joke. Ended up going to a different doctor and found out my issue was actually really serious. Staff is always lacking on any requests I ever asked of them. Not to mention the last time I was there I was waiting in the lobby and I noticed the staff had ordered themselves a bunch of pizzas and when the delivery guy comes in they just took the food and didn't tip the poor guy. The guy left clearly upset with them. You can tell he's been there many times from the look on his face when he came in. They probably never tip them. How embarrassing to have someone deliver your food to your job so you don't have to leave and you cant even give the guy a single dollar. Who raised you people? I know this is unrelated but really shows you the type of people they are. That was unbelievable and classless. I'm never coming here again.

Let me share my experience at this doctor office. I got into horribly accident with bike and car...was in ICU for 5 days...after I got home, the ICU doctor wanted to keep me under his care for a week and this doctor got into pissy ego and dropped my care completely afterwards. Then during COVID-19 period, I called and asked for an appointment but told the receptionist that I will call them back to confirm. She had me down on December 24th and billed me $40 for NO SHOW. After several calls and explained, they didn't want to hear me out and proceeded with the collection agency for $40. Stay away from them.

I echo all the other negative reviews, he was my doctor for a short time. He likes to ramble on about non essential things, quick to diagnose, when you pursue him to get a proper answer he says he is busy and cant answer questions. The best part is where he taps the stethoscope on your chest and back a few times without asking you to take a deep breath. Seems to just go through the motions, minimalist health care.

my mom and I have been coming to Dr. Younis for years, he’s truly the best!! even with my mom going through cancer, he’s always provided top notch care as her primary physician and stayed in the loop with her oncologists. to this day, i’ll go in for an appointment and he’ll genuinely ask how we’re doing. best bed side manner & very caring!

“Suck it up,” is what Dr. Younis told me after I met him for the first time in person after years of visiting his practice only to be seen by his nurse practitioner (who was great). Unfortunately, after her exit, Dr. Younis was left with no choice but to meet with his own patients. And we had a chat for the first time about the pain I have been dealing with for years. There was such a disdain in his voice as he spoke and his hand running down the small of my back was not in a caring way. I felt dismissed and violated at the same time. I realize I was lucky to be seen by the nurse practitioner all those years. She cared to listen and offered warmth and solutions while exercising professionalism. Dr. Samy Younis is anything but.

Released a patient from his care and they died within 6 hours due to misdiagnosis and improper care. Avoid if you want competent medical care.

OMG I just talked to Amber in the office. What a nightmare talking to her. Beyond RUDE.  I explained to her the office has made a mistake in regards to my appointment.  She seems to thing someone else call to schedule my appointment I explained no one will call to schedule a appointment for me but ME.... I have been with this doctor for 20 years I will not walk away because Amber does not know what she is talking about. Dr. Y you have a great bedside manner but Amber EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...

One of the worst offices I have ever been to. I keep thinking it will change, but never improves. You have to see specialists for ANY medications or testing...ie a psychiatrist for antidepressants, won't order an MRI when the neurosurgeon won't see you without it, don't want to prescribe any HRT because of fear of ca (isn't this MY risk?) I had covid symptoms on a Friday afternoon and they wouldn't tear me. Told me to call Orange County public health and didn't even have the number to give me. If you want good care, go somewhere else. Trust me, I am an RN.

Incompetent staff. Inconsiderate and scam artist of a doctors office. Called in for prescription refill and and the the person on phone insisted I needed to come in for for my yearly. I go in for scheduled checkup only to find out I'm a month away for my insurance to approve it. I raise my concerns. They said they will take care of it and post date since it was their mistake. I pay my deductible and assume they will stand on their word for the mistake. I get a bill from my insurance for the visit and the blood work I got done after I was to be eligible for yearly checkup insurance. Which is few hundred dollars now.Will call them when the billing person is around to see if they rectify their mistake and inconvenience caused. Will update once I know more.

I have been a patient for over 10 years. I use to see the PA, Kirsten and never had any problems. She left the practice to go elsewhere (no surprise!). Since she left there have been two other PA's and Linda is pretty good; however, she is unable to prescribe any "drugs" because their office doesn't write them. Reason (I was told) is because Dr. Younis doesn't have time to review each patient file to prescribe such medication (pain, anxiety, sleeping, etc.) no way, no way ever (he just doesn't want the responsibility or liability, then why did you become a doctor?). So what exactly does he do? Not much, but sit in a chair in the hallway outside the receptionist desks and looks like he's falling asleep. The real kicker is I made an appointment because I needed to get a refill on a regular prescription for my health and then needed to reschedule and was told I was going to be charged $40. I had literally made the appointment not even 12 hours before. The front desk person was so rude and abrupt and I asked to speak with the office mgr and she said she was it, then I asked to speak with Dr and she said he's going to tell you the same thing and standing right here. I asked if they were that desperate and hard up for $40. She goes "WOW" with her attitude. I will NEVER return to this very unprofessional office who won't practice medicine because too lazy to review patient files. There is a reason this office has gone downhill.... pay attention to this review and the others with negative feedback. Seriously a problem. Time to retire practice Dr. Younis.

I've been going to Dr. Younis since 1999.  While he was a great doctor for most of these years, his practice seems to be going downhill fast.  Dr. Younis seems very tired and overworked, and his front desk staff is downright rude.Please train your staff to be friendly and not so abrupt and put the customer off.

I would not recommend him or his office. DR. never met me on either visits Instead his PA showed. up. He was called into my room. At which point he did not introduce himself, look me in the eye. I needed a request for for an ex-ray. I left, went to the imaging center and was told the papers were not filled out as required . Complete waste of my time. I was only switched to St. Joseph for two months. Help, get me out of here. I am returning, gladly to Hoag Affiliates asap.
