I had one attempted televisit with Dr. Gao via iPhone. When I couldn't figure out how to connect the video portion, rather than try to continue with sound only, he became impatiient, said 'I don't hve time for this', and hung up. If there were a way to rate him 0 stars I would. Rudest doctor I've ever met.

Jimmy, the office manager is condescending at best. Incompetent as an office manager with limited knowledge of how high deductibles work and is willing to cancel appointments because of a due balance. Not a past due balance, a due balance. He also offered to send the results knowing a patient wouldn't understand them. I'm finding another neurologist with competent office people.

Receptionists are rude, gossipy, and spend more time NOT doing their jobs. What’s the point of coming to an appointment 15 minutes early only to be still waiting after scheduled appointment and told it’s only 9 minutes past your appointment and the tech isn’t here yet. Absolutely unprofessional.

He’s not helpful or understanding. Doesn’t remember patients background information. Seemed confused and unconcerned. He doesn’t keep his notes organized so he can remember what was talked about last time and what can be done this time.

Have called this office twice and both times I have been left on hold for 30-58 minutes. Customer service is not good and do not recommend. Their front desk does not answer phone calls to set up appointments for new patients.

He cares only for money and treats his patients like we are inconveniencing him. I had a seizure and had my drivers license suspended. I was referred to a neurologist in my home town who did an EEG, saw that it was clear and in a letter to me told me he was signing off on my medical clearance. This neurologist died before he could clear me. I moved to San Diego and was referred to dock Ga. Since he was so money minded he strung my clearance out as much as he could through having me go through as many tests and appointments h... read more

Great! I take my daughter to Dr. Gao. She suffers from a severe TBI. He is super nice and excellent at explaining things. He’s patient and funny and caring. We appreciate his medical expertise.

Dr Gao is very straightforward and doesn't beat around the bush when it comes to treating you. I am very grateful for the care I received from his facility, and thankful for the visit he made to the hospital and check on my progress during an MS relapse.
