Scott C So Md's Online Review Report Card

Not too crazy about Dr. So. Have seen him three times. All three were were (in the words of another reviewer) strange and offensive. Condescending. All three times I left his office feeling badly about the way I was treated. Goodbye, Felicia.

This review isn't for Dr. So himself, but for his assistant. I never had a chance to talk to Dr. So. I called several times to request an appointment. His assistant (scheduler) told me that I need to agree to have my eyes dilated during the visit. I explained it to her that I couldn't do that due to my eye condition. She then told me I therefore couldn't get the appointment. With common sense, it'll make sense if she says the doctor will decide whether to dilate the eyes. I don't think I would want to deal with a practice like this as the assistant is so overbearing. what is the actual doctor going to be like?

My grandma had an appointment with him, and she went with her caregiver. When he went into the room where they had been told to wait for him, he came in with a horrible attitude. He was rude to my mother when she asked him a single question because my grandmother does not speak English. He would not even take the time to look at her past medical files and did not do any examinations on my grandmother. He was in the room for approximately 3 minutes when he stood up and said, have a nice day, with an incredibly rude tone. My mother, the caregiver, was begging the doctor to do a medical examination on her. However, he would look her dead in the eye and repeat himself, "Have a nice day." This caused my grandmother, a cancer patient and a person with diabetes, to spike her blood pressure, which sent her to the emergency room. My grandmother's amount of stress that day with her appointment with Scott So is completely unacceptable. This person should lose his medical license immediately for his unprofessionalism.

Didn't live up to expectations at all

Was looking for a doctor in San Francisco. Unfortunately, the choice fell on him. Wasted money. He didn't help my wife !!!!

He was rude and unprofessional. I do not recommend it.

Dr. So specializes in glaucoma and carefully listens to feedback from patients. I highly recommend him for anyone with glaucoma in their family history.

I received a referral from my optometrist to see Dr So to get a baseline for glaucoma. After multiple visits, Dr So informed me I did not have glaucoma but still would like to see me every year. I am relatively young and don't have any risk factors for glaucoma so I just asked him if he could explain why he wanted to keep seeing me each year, if there was something that was concerning him, and how concerned I should be. E.g. what makes my case different than any other normal healthy person? He couldn't give me a clear answer but just kept saying "I can't tell the future." I don't like signing up for healthcare where I don't have a clear idea of why I'm receiving care (it's called informed consent). So I kept asking him if he could clarify by phrasing my questions in different ways. I definitely got the sense that he was irritated by my questions and expected me to just fall in line and "obey" him as the doctor. He treated me like I was too dumb to understand what he was saying and refused to explain himself despite me asking him over and over. He eventually just got up and left the room. Yes Dr So, you can't tell the future, you're not God, even though you seemed to act like you are. Multiple reviews have mentioned hi condescending and dismissive he is to women. The fact that he is still employed at this clinic is heinous. Please find a physician that treats a full 50% of the population like we are humans deserving of respect.

I wish I read the review before I wasted so much precious time to see Dr. So. The recent second appointment was an unexpected strange - and offensive visit. I would not recommend him to anyone.

Dr. So is a fantastic, super sharp, very competent, attentive, and caring ophthalmologist with cutting edge approaches to diagnosis and eye treatments. Found Dr. So after lots of search and am so grateful to his expertise and team of staff.
