Swaraj Bose, MD

I have been a patient of Dr. Bose for over five years. I trust him completely, and I recommend him highly. He is very knowledgable about eye conditions and has years of experience. He really cares about his patients and always takes the time to explain medical issues. A very high quality physician!

I have had a chronic ear disorder that has been difficult to diagnose. I have been to multiple ENT’s, Neurologists, and have had more testing than I care to mention: hearing tests, MRI, MRA, MRV etc. Dr. Bose is the FIRST physician to CARE and LISTEN to my journey and symptoms. I almost cried feeling that someone finally cared enough to listen to me explain what I have been experiencing. I am a Registered Nurse with 20+ years of critical care experience. I have met many physicians through out my years and can honestly say that he is the 3^rd physician in 20 years that I can say is a DELIGHT. He is SO knowledgeable — he directed the Neuro Opthamology clinic at UCI and has been on staff at Cedars Sinai for 9+ years. Upon consultation he gave me 2 hours of his time. Who does that in medicine now-​a-​days? I recently had a full physical and was only given 20 minutes for that! If you need a specialist Dr. Bose is the BEST!

The team he works with are great! The equipment is new. The office was comfortable enough.
Dr Bose, himself, however… is kinda mean!
He talked down to me and my husband. When I asked him about something specific … he snapped at me and cut me off. He made me feel like I couldn’t discuss things with him openly… and like I was too stupid to understand my own issues.
He also repeated himself in a weird bullying «I’m being SO nice to you» voice that made me feel like I was wasting his time and overreacting. The guy has a massive attitude problem.
My husband has a chronic eye disease that we’ve been dealing with for 7 years … and I’ve worn glasses since I was 3 years old! We’ve seen our fair share of eye doctors in various levels of specialty. This was… hands down… the least professional and most arrogant and rude one we’ve seen in our 10 years together.
My husband went away feeling really disappointed and angry with his attitude.
When you’re trying to establish a professional team of doctors that you work with to better your quality of life … you’re HIRING them to work for you and help you. That first impression is an interview.
I’m sure he’s good for someone… but, he was not right for me/​us.
