Bonnie S. Ahn's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Ahn doesn't act as though the patient is really there... just the image on the screen. I've seen her twice now for breast ultrasounds and her manner is very distracted. The first time I was in for an ultrasound, she asked if the lump in my right breast that I was being evaluated for had shrunk since I'd made the appointment. I said yes, it did in fact seem to have gotten a bit smaller. She replied in a very offhand manner, "Yeah, cause the one on the left is a LOT bigger." Ummm... what? There's one on the left? The second time I was there she left the gel all over me, didn't give me anything to clean up with, and took off like she had something burning on the stove. A women's breast center doesn't seem like the best place for her to practice her craft.

EXCELLENT. She answered all my questions and was very supportive and sensitive.

Oh my gosh. How I wish I had read the above review before having Dr. Ahn perform my core biopsy. She was rushed, cold and barely communicative. She finished up and then nearly ran from the room. I looked up and yelled "wait!" just as she was pulling the curtains closed as she tried to leave without telling me ANYTHING. I know you have to have pathology reports before knowing anything definitive, but I asked "so, how did it look, Doctor?" and she just said hurriedly "Oh it doesn't scream out cancer" pulled the curtains shut and ran off. Luckily it was benign, but my breast was more bruised than you can imagine, and stayed that way for several weeks. Subsequently, I am three months post-biopsy and have a large hematoma that has still not healed. I am now looking for a breast specialist to see why it's not healing properly. Even when I phoned her after two months, Dr. Ahn was rushed. Other docs who did follow up were fine. Find someone else!

If you want... -to be cut off while asking questions about the lumps in both of your breast by an eye rolling doctor... - a doctor who does not go over your mammogram results with you and behaves as if you wanting to know anything about you exam results is a massive inconvenience... -to attend your 6 month follow up and only be told, “See you in 6 months,” while you are sitting in the lobby... -don’t want your doctor to tell you where the lumps in your breast are... Go See Her!

She was unwilling to discuss ultrasound results. When asked basic questions about the process, since I was told to return in 6 months, she rolled her eyes and gave one word responses. Absolutely ridiculous! She is arrogant with a trash beside manner. When a patient is topless and asks you, the specialist, about the masses you have just found in both of her breast it would behoove you to act with grace, kindness, and tact. Just a thought...
