Yusha I. Siddiqui's Online Review Report Card

She was kind, knowledgeable and thorough. I was happy to find her after my previous Dr. retired.

The Tele-Health service promptly provided me with a knowledgeable person who could provide me with guidance when I needed it.

She is a knowledgeable physician with great human skills

Great and very thorough. I look forward to seeing her as my main doctor.

I was the only patient in the waiting room or in the treatment rooms, but the doctor kept me waiting for my scheduled pre-op without any explanation for 45 minutes. Her office staff had told me the pre-op would be done in half an hour when they offered me the last appointment & I begged for an earlier time because I have haloes from eye surgery and at dusk, in the rain, or after dark is dangerous for me and everyone else on the road and I do not live In RPV . The office was closing at 5. At 4:45 having heard nothing, I left the treatment room & saw the Dr. chatting with another staff member. I told them I was leaving because it was raining & getting dark and I was concerned about driving home safely. Dr. Siddiqui told me for the first time in a brusque manner with a sharp tone "You don't need a pre-op for an endoscopy." I had never met her before or heard anything like that from her office staff when I made the appointment for an endoscopy. She hadn't had her staff call me with this opinion when she saw on her schedule in the morning that her last appointment of the day was a pre-op for an endoscopy. She didn't call me not to bother driving all the way over there or tell me not to wait in the waiting room because she was refusing to do the scheduled pre-op. She didn't tell me when I checked in or while I waited. So unkind!I asked her why she did not respect the opinion of the head of laparoscopic hernia surgery at Cedars-Sinai who was requesting the pre-op and she just stared at me.I never got a voicemail explanation from her or anyone in her office until I called myself the next day & was required to speak to the office manager, Norma, not the doctor. Norma said that she had 10 years of experience as a medical assistant to a gastroenterologist & their outpatient center did not require a pre-op. Of course if I understand HIPPA confidentiality Norma should not have known any of my medical conditions that might prompt a surgeon to request a pre-op and Norma did not arrange endoscopies at a hospital so does not know hospital rules that might apply to the procedure, or to patients over 70, or to patients with conditions I have. Did Dr. Siddiqui share confidential medical info about me with office manager because Norma not Cedars-Sinai was her authority for telling me the pre-op was not medically necessary when I asked her if she was refusing to do it because Medicare didn't cover pre-ops?

II would NOT recommend this internist . I had one visit with her. My first and last! LllWhy? She made almost NO direct eye contact while speaking to me. I had brought n a sample of material I was spitting up. She York a brief look and said "Why did you bring "that in?" Made me feel like a real idiot for doing so! I have been in health care business for over 20 yr. In private practice. I have never felt more like a number in a practice. She looked at my left good and squeezed the middle by my arch. I said OW! That hurts w/o you touching it! She continued to manhandle foot. By the time I walked or should I say hobbled out of there I had already decided never to see this MD again!

Great experience. Dr Siddeki is nice, professional, and very thorough. She was also very easy to talk to, and proactive. She is not my regular Dr in the practice, but I would definitely go back to see her, should circumstances deem it necessary.All if the drs in this practice are great!!!

Very good GP with conscientious and empathetic evaluations. Care has not been rushed nor overly clinical.

First time visit. Setting up as a new patient after relocating to the area. Very happy with the experience so far.

Efficient, friendly, easy to communicate with. Authorized me to continue with prescriptions for my meds.
