Serge Tobias, MD's Online Review Report Card

For the last Week I have been trying to get a appointment with this Cardiologist. Unfortunately they kept sending me to voicemail so I was never able to see the Dr. Due to the Receptionist unprofessionalism I ended up in the Emergency Room. I will be seeking some type of legal Advice.

He genuinely cares about his patients and goes above and beyond to help them with their cardiac problems.

My husband and I have found Dr Tobias to be very concerned of his patients health and wellbeing. He often goes above and beyond the norm to make sure his patients get the medical care they need. When my husband needed emergency surgery to put in a pacemaker Dr Tobias wanted to operate that night after office hours. He is very conscientious and takes as much time as each patient needs to listen and explain your condition and care.

I had two cardiac ablations by Dr. Tobias and both failed. During the second one I had an anaphylactic reaction on the table for which they had to reverse it and stop the procedure as they were losing me. Dr. Tobias said I needed a pacemaker. A friend begged me to see her doctor, so in the interim before scheduling an appointment for a pacemaker I saw another cardiologist. Both he and the new electrophysiologist said I was borderline and did not need a pacemaker and if I needed anything it would be a defibrillator but because I was borderline they were going to work with medications first. It’s been about two years now, and my heart is pumping almost normally in medications. I am very glad I found a new doctor. My new doctor is with Cedars-Sinai, and I have never seen a staff or a doctor who are so on top of everytging little thjng, include labs, et cetera. I never even received a phone call from Dr. Tobias’ office even with regard to scheduling for the unnecessary pacemaker. I’m thankful for my friend for referring me to her doctor as I might not be alive today.

We have been going to Dr Tobias for over five years. He is the best. He knows his stuff and has helped my wife go from atrial fibrillation problems to under control. We have trusted him with her life and he has performed.

Dr Tobias was completely professional . I received ablation surgery of the atrial chamber to stop my SVT which was occurring about every couple months at the time. After having emergency personnel stop my heart several times to reset my heart, I decided to have the surgery. I am so grateful I did. Have not had an issue with SVT since 2001. The Dr. did exactly what he said he would do and I am so happy I chose this Doctor to do the surgery.

I have been going to Dr. Tobias for many years. He has always been professional and kind. While I have had to wait to see him past the appointment time I have credited it to his giving each and every patient the time and attention they deserve which may result in prior appointment extending beyond the allotted time. I have complete faith in Dr. Tobias' abilities as a surgeon and physician and call myself fortunate for having him on my care team.

This review is on behalf of my husband who is still recovering from a multiple arrhythmia ablation surgery. <br><br>Dr. Tobias originally seemed to be a decent doctor (as long as he could take his eyes off my tits long enough to reply). <br><br>Prior to the surgery, my husband expressed his concern with the anesthesia.  He mentioned to Dr. Tobias that he had previous issues and he was concerned about the level that would be provided. My husband expressed that he didn&#39;t think being on light enough anesthesia to be woken up during the surgery was a good idea (which is what both my husband and i heard from Dr. Tobias at our first meeting). The doctor told him that he must have heard him incorrectly (clearly we didnt) as he would be asleep the entire time. Welp, my husband woke up MULTIPLE times during the surgery complaining of pain.  He vividly remembers the feeling of them inside his chest... something he was told he would be sleeping for. Dr. Tobias and his team also managed to burn my husband&#39;s testicles.  He had been complaining about the pain and the people at the hospital were so rude about it.  It wasn&#39;t until I took him home that we found out why he was in as much pain as he was.  During our follow up, Dr. Tobias was incredibly rude which we expected considering the result of this.  He made the arrhythmia worse (still not fixed) which in turn made the procedure a massive waste of time, money and patience.  Avoid him if you can and find someone not just out to make a quick buck off of you. <br><br>(And yes I STILL have pictures of his burnt balls for proof and the recording of the conversation between Dr. Tobias, his staff member, myself and my husband.)

Terrible beside manner. Office staff doesn't follow through. Waste of time. Will not return.

Had an appointment for 2 pm, but didn't get in until 4:30 pm, and then this Type A so-called physician didn't even examine me, but yelled at me for my doctor not sending over my records. I should have followed the advice I read about patient care, and insisted on a no charge (he CHARGED ME!!) and a reappointment when it was a half hour past my appointed time. I seriously doubt that his medical expertise was anything better than his unbelievably rude and unprofessional behavior. Pass on this one and find a great, board-certified electrophysiologist - there are plenty of them in the Long Beach area.

Doctor Tobias was highly recommended by my primary Physician and my heart Doctor as well, to this date Im totally satisfied and confident on his knowledge and practice to continue my care taking it to the next level.
