Dr. Susie Fong, MD

After waiting almost 6 months to see Dr Fong for chronic insomnia related to menopausal hormonal issues, I was very disappointed and felt the visit was not only unproductive, but unprofessional. Although I filled out a detailed sleep questionnaire and medical history, including a list of medications, the doctor did not look at any of these papers and the information was only entered into the computer AFTER the visit was already completed by a nurse, who also took my vitals after the visit, and not before the visit. The doctor was not willing to give any recommendations for altering hormonal treatment (to something that may have a better chance of helping you sleep) or dosage, and did not offer any medications or further testing other than anti-depressants — or gabapentin, which has serious side effects. I am not depressed or willing to take an antidepressant with major side effects. Dr. Fong was not willing to prescribe any sleep medications, even for short term use or occasional use. Her bed side manner was also abrupt and non-empathetic. Although she said that my sleep disorder was likely due to menopausal hormonal changes, she was not willing to discuss any treatment related to that. This visit was a complete waste of time and very disappointing.

Condescending, arrogant and not open to looking at a patient's complete medical situation.

Dr. Fong is cold, rude and beyond unhelpful. Her nurse was disrespectful and as rude as Dr. Fong. Do not go to Dr. Fong is you are looking for any help with your insomnia as she is not knowledgeable or helpful. She did not even review my medical history to understand my needs.

If you could not be 100% sure, you’ll beat the traffic, avoid the line at the check in, …., and then you were told the doctor won’t see you, due to you’re 20 minutes late, even though you tried to reason with the doctor, you left home 2 hours early, your GPS told you, ETA will be 9:30 am for 10:00 am appointment from OC, doctor’s response is still NO, … find another doctor! My EP (Electrophysiologist) in UCLA sent me here, to rule out sleep apnea before ablation, this totally unexpected incident, a total wasted trip from OC, could cause me a stroke, no need for ablation, thanks to Dr. Susie X.
