Suh Susie MD

There should be an option to give 0 stars. The front office staff is so rude and unprofessional. The front is a reflection on the Dr and entire office. When the Dr was notified of her staff’s behavior she just gave an insincere ‘sorry.’ To make matters worse the front office also made callous remarks when leaving.
Note to the front office staff, you’re not doing your job. You’re rude, belittling, unprofessional and can easily be replaced. You’re giving patients a terrible impression of the Dr. Have respect for people!!!

Can you give negative stars? Warning: Do Not come here!!! my Father was treated so badly simply due to a misunderstanding. the girls (front desk) told my father to «get out… get out!!!». people — seriously? Do you want to trust people like that with your health? This is not a way to treat people! It is honestly Unethical and doesn’t dr. susie suh know that their staff is God awful? My Father is such a kind and respectable man, so it broke my heart when he told me about this situation. It’s disgusting. Do NOT waste your time and please Do NOT come here! i would like to just save another person from being belittled, patronized, and talked down to the nth degree. Please Do NOT come here!!!

Dr. Suh is a smart, no nonsense doctor that is very knowledgeable and one that I respect. She’s direct and doesn’t waste your time and has great follow up. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

If u need cortisone injections the doctor is fantastic.

I have been a patient of Dr Suh since she was at Prime Care many years ago. She is a brilliant doctor who has supported me through many rough patches. Dr Suh is kind, considerate & patient. She really listens & understands what I’m going through.
I have never had to wait more than a few days for an appointment. When I have had a bad flare-​up, she will fit me in on that day.
Dr Suh will, & does go that extra mile for her patients.
I couldn’t recommend her higher.

After seeing two loser Rheumatologists in Monterey who I won’t mention, I heard really good things about Dr. Suh and was really looking forward to meeting her. Because of the usual mistakes made by my PCP, I had to wait for several months for my first appointment. I found out low life patients on Medi-​Cal are privileged enough see her in the Monterey office, they have to drive to Natividad in Salinas. Most patients know a new appointments with a specialist usually last a minimum 30+ minutes. In Dr. Suh’s office, they’re scheduled for 10 – 15 minutes! After my long wait, I didn’t even have enough time to explain why I was there! Two important specialist referred me to see her because who strongly believe I have one or more systemic autoimmune diseases. Dr. Suh wouldn’t even consider hearing about this. I brought to her office plenty of medical records. All she wanted to do was quickly diagnose me with a stupid Baker’s cyst behind my knee, and said to have a orthpaedic doctor cut it out! And she had the nerve the say I was irritated when she I didn’t want to let her give me trigger point injections! That’s not what I went there for! It was one of the most disappointing specialist appointments I’ve ever waited for. I hope she reads my review on Unilocal.More doctors need to read what patients are saying about them. And doctors need to reconcile the oath they took when they became a doctor and improve their quality of medical care! I know more and more patients that are losing hope and faith in the medical society because of doctors like these. I will not refer this specialist to anyone.

Dr. Suh was abrupt and rude. She gave me about 5 min. of her time, she talks extremely fast, doesn’t seem to be interested in listening to her patients, making a diagnosis even before you can finish your sentence. I asked at the front desk if they were really that busy to rush people in and out so fast. Of course, all I got were glares. She doesn’t require you to fill out any med. history as most do before first appt. I inquired about this and was told she asks all she needs during the appt. She was in too much of a rush to get any kind of family or personal history. From the other reviews I believe that she may possibly have multiple personality disorder, no kidding. I cannot imagine her to be caring as in a few reviews and you’d expect that from a doctor. She treats you like you’re a nuisance she wants out of her office as quickly as possible. I requested some kind of tests to make sure it wasn’t something more serious. This came with a look of disgust. I’ve seen her twice and felt she must be having a difficult day the first appt. This last appt. will be my last.

Dr suh is a great doctor. She’s aggressive in taking care of issues and has been correct in her diagnoses thus far. She’s friendly but also very efficient with her time. She won’t be spending a lot of unnecessary time with you. On the other hand, the staff at the front desk is rude, uncommunicative, unfriendly and abrupt. I can’t think of another doctors office with such poor staff members.

Dr Suh has been treating me for my Ankylosing Spondylitis for the last 13 years. I believe she is THE GO TO RHEUMATOLOGIST in Monterey County. Period. I highly recommend all patients with rheumatological conditions to see her. She stays up to date with the latest treatments and cares for her patients. Dr Suh will fight with the insurance if necessary which proves she cares.

The office staff is not very communicative (no personality either) Dr. Suh herself was rude and uppity. We drove in from Santa Cruz and got there at 1045am, 45 min early (it was pouring when we left, the reason we left early). I told the receptionist, I know we’re early but maybe we can be seen early. She said, Okay good, have a seat. Kind of gave the impression maybe we can be seen early. We waited till 1130 (our appointed time) till the manager came to us (on her own, must be because I was standing, my sciatica was flared up and was hard for me to sit for too long no other reason than that) at about 1140 and said the doctor will be with us in a few minutes since our appointment is for 1145. No, I explained it was for 1130. I also said it would have been nice for the receptionist to tell us the doctor may not see us early since so far everyone has shown up on time (many other doctors offices has the courtesy to do this). This would have given us the option to leave and come back or hang around. The manager told us they are not permitted to do that without the permission of the doctor. But no one asked the doctor, they just made us wait (lack of communication). She told me to take it up with the doctor. I did. The doctor wouldn’t let me finish my discontent. Instead she made a face and said, Isn’t that what appointments are for?. and then said, why should my staff tell anyone they are early, isn’t it obvious? Basically calling me stupid. I put up my finger to stop her from insulting me and she ended the appointment never seeing my mother for her pain.
Dr. Suh insisted I was mad at her for not taking us in early. I tried telling her I wasn’t, I was upset because there was no communication from the front office staff. I work in a very busy doctors office and yes, we tell our patients whether it’s possible if we can see them early or not. I’ve been to other doctor’s offices where they say something very similar. It’s called common courtesy and respect to the patient. Yes, we were early that is our fault, it was pouring outside when we left but we wanted to be sure we got there on time in case there was an accident. I voiced my unhappiness about the lack of communication with the staff to the doctor. Bravo for Dr. Suh for sticking up for them, if that’s the kind of staff she wants, but to insult people? Then stormed out and called me ignorant? Yep, called her a b*tch. She was the most unprofessional low class doctor I’ve met in a very very long time. I feel I’ve saved my mother from a very low quality doctor who needs anger management classes.
Oh did I mention the office only saw two patients in the hour we were waiting? Yep, count them… two.

Terrible and rude staff. The staff is insensitive and difficult to work with over the phone. Dr. Suh is an okay doctor, although she watched me have a year long allergic reaction to a medication she had prescribed and it took some long hard research on my part to figure out what was going on with my terrible skin reaction. It was in fact the medicine, which I decided to get off with her consent, but she never suggested it could be the medication. It took my skin close to 3 months to clear up. In her office she will be kind, but you will feel incredibly rushed.

Dr Suh’s first words to me as soon as walked into the examining room were: «You’re in a great deal of pain, and you don’t sleep well at night»; «Let’s see what we can do about that»; she then ordered a battery of blood tests, and also requested copies fopr my primary physician, so that he can be abreast of what’s going on. He himself was astounded by this consideration and quite appreciative. From that moment on, she has continued to be diligent, kind, considerate and caring in her approach. She adjusted the meds my previous rheumatologist had me on, and this has made some difference in my quality of life. Sadly, my RA has progressed; but with the progression she has again adjusted and added to my med régime. I would highly reccomend anyone with RA and other rheumatological illnesses to see her, she WILL HELP YOU. Too bad I wasted a year and a half on the other guy.

Just a quick follow-​up. Dr. Suh called me quickly with my results and I didn’t need a follow-​up. Again, I thought she was very nice although brisk. I certainly wouldn’t hesitate to go back to her if needed…
