****UPDATE#2*** the commenter i mentioned below changed their comment to not directly accuse me of being a liar anymore because I called her out for being office staff. Apperently, she figured out it was very obvious for a regular patient to not take such serious offense to my comment. Again, be very careful with this guy, he has no integrity and neither does his office.
***UPDATED*** Dr Lo only had one review from three years ago before I wrote mine. The commenter above me was too defensive to be a real patient and sounds like an employee and I recall one of them having the same first name. I find it humorous that they just so happen to have the same diagnosis and that their review was written three days after mine was. This yelp page was practically untouched before I wrote my review, now all of a sudden it is popular. If they had really been seeing him for ten years, it seems as though my comment is what inspired their review rather than Dr. Lo himself, along with the fact that the comment addressed all of the points of my comment. Use your judgment but it seems like their office has no integrity and writes their own reviews to combat the bad ones. It is pretty obvious, and I am going to report it for being fake.
Dr. Lo was the most terrible doctor I have ever had to see in my life. He has such a great reputation and 5 stars on here, so I was shocked to be treated with such disrespect.
I decided to see Dr. Lo because my regular doctor was out and I was having serious issues. Plus he has a great reputation. He was right on when he diagnosed my problem, endometriosis, and scheduled me for surgery.
Apparently, you are catheterized in surgery and it is common to get a UTI as a result. I had one, and brought this to his attention. I tested positive for nitrites and leukocytes, which means I had a UTI. Dr. Lo told me my test was negative, and gave me Aquaphor to rub on my urethra. I wasn't handed the results until I left by his office staff, and I was horrified that I was shoved off like that! I brought the results to my primary, and he confirmed it was positive, and took his own test just to be sure. He also had a weird look when I told him I was told they are negative and was just as shocked as I was. If I didn't know any better and listened to Dr. Lo, I probably would've got a nice kidney or bladder infection.
Also, I started to dry heave right after my surgery. I was told "It's probably just your diet" (which was pretty offensive) turns out what it really was was that he didn't get all of the endometrial tissue out of my intestines and bowels, causing GI issues/acid reflux.
I had a hard time figuring out if this was sadistic or just negligence and ignorance. I got a new OB-Gyn. She asked why I switched, when I told her she was shocked and felt bad for me. Then she told me the UTI and reflux would have had to be listed as "complications" from the surgery, which would have reflected on Dr. Lo in his records. To avoid having to say he has had a complication with a surgery he performed, he pretended like my problems did not exist, despite scientific proof. So I guess it was both sadism and ignorance I suppose! With a medical degree, there is no way any Dr. can be so incompetent as to misdiagnose something as simple as a UTI. It wasn't confusion on his end, he just lied to my face and hoped I wouldn't know any better,
Endometriosis is a pretty misunderstood, and sometimes complicated disease, and it is common knowledge that many doctors don't know enough about it. I don't think Dr. Lo has a clue about my disease any more than being able to identify it and the treatment I require, and I know way more about the disease now from my own research and new Dr. than I did when I left his office, he didn't tell me anything. Im terrified to think about what he possibly could have done to my insides!!!
Im not sure if he had something against me, or if this is what he does to everyone to protect himself. I feel like an immense evil was done to me by someone I should have been able to trust. Dr. Lo, you owe me a huge apology!!!!!
I would have gone the right avenues to report this abuse, but I do not know where to go to do such a thing. So I figured warning other women and making it be known what happened to me is the next best course of action. BEWARE OF DR. LO, ESPECIALLY IF YOU NEED SURGERY! read more
