This lady is a hack whom I believe misdiagnosed my mother and when I pointed out the conditions of her establishment she took away my mother prescription for her shaking. Then when my mother asked for a cup of water she was given a beer strin with floaties read more

The rooms are so dusty the window and shades and floor and bathroom are full with trash and my mother had a morning appointment. Staff are nice just place needs to be hygiene it's a doctor office! Also don't even go on time we are on time and we sat 1 hour and still no yassa came to our room. read more

Nadine Yassa, MD - Neurologist Near Me - Roseville, California

terrible service and customer care. had three appointments where i waited over an hour just to be seen and was just asked a few questions and that was it. could of easily been an over the phone appointment and not wasted an hour and a half for a 5 min appointment. today's appt was just plan disrespectful to five people who had appointments that have been waiting over an hour already with myself included. come to find out the doctor had an unscheduled meeting and decided to have all 5 of us wait who had appointments by the way. further more as i was taking to receptionist to reschedule my appointment cause i was tired of waiting, 3 individuals walked right in with bags of food and drink from Urban Jacks restaurant and joined right in the meeting with Dr. Yassa. i'm glad the Dr. got to have a nice meal and an unscheduled lunch meeting while patients are waiting for over an hour to been seen. read more

Back and front office are filthy with pamphlets scattered everywhere. They don't respond to phone messages. I needed a referral to a pain specialist/surgeon as was referred to seven different doctors. They either didn't take my insurance, were located 60 miles away or didn't work on backs. I finally asked why they didn't just call my insurance company. The girl said she couldn't do that because the call is on hold for too long. I've never had a problem getting a referral from my doctors before. I've been in the waiting room two times when people walked out because the wait times were excessive. I got an appointment for a month in advance when the other neurologists in the Sacramento area were booking appointment for a YEAR in advance. read more

i can agree with all the negative comments, because I experiened them also , last time she said her schedule person would make a fallow up appointment, I have yet to hear, said she must be at lunch. Funny thing they both just got back from lunch, while I waited in that filthy waiting room. read more

I cannot stress enough how damaging this doctor and her staff are. I saw Dr. Yassa for almost a year trying to get a diagnosis for serious neurologic symptoms I was having. She was angry, dismissive, and constantly late. At the end of my first visit, in which she never physically touched me, she declared nothing wrong with me with no further comments and left the room. This continued for months of tests, visits, and thousands of dollars. When it was apparent she had no plans to help, Dr Yassa's medical staff were unable to even produce test results run at their facility and provided a different patients information in my chart which they never figured out how to fix. I lost months of potential treatment which really caused my health to deteriorate. Fast forward, I started over with a new neurologist who was able to diagnose my condition and get me on a path to treatment in the first visit. Avoid Dr. Yassa at all costs. She has multiple medical review board complaints for a reason. read more

Dr Yassa is one of the best Neurologist. I've had the pleasure and the privilege of receiving treatment from Dr Yassa. This office seems to be extremely busy and the pressure put upon the staff is a but overwhelming. Be patient it will be well worth the time awaiting as she spends an insane amount of time thoroughly evaluating your concerns & symptoms. Ive come to terms with my disabilities now thanks to Nadine bedside manor & therapy...her staff is commended for their hard work!! read more

Office is unkept and carpet is filthy. Blinds are twisted and broken. It takes ten minutes for receptionist to acknowledge you. When she does venture out, there is not even a hello. read more

This office and doctor are so unprofessional. I had the first appointment of the day at 7:30 and she didn't even show up until 8:30. When she showed up she automatically blew off my request and told me a new rx was a one size fits all and cure all for migraines (which is a lie). Then she proceeds to tell me insurance won't cover Botox for migraines (which is another lie), but she could do Botox for me for $1800 every 3 months. What a joke! Can't believe this person went to med school. The office also told me my insurance was accepted then they billed me out of network. I'll be filing a complaint with the insurance company and the state of CA. If you want a professional, I'd suggest skipping this 'doctor' and her office. read more

Office staff is very transactional. Their priority appears to be collection over your care. Office practices are unorganized, untimely and I do not feel comfortable with this office handling my life threatening issues. read more

So let me start by saying the only reason I keep coming to this place is because I am on work comp and I have to. I have had a few interactions with Dr. Yassa and although she seems knowledgeable the practice itself is what I am soooo disappointed in. I came in for an EEG after a head injury at work and it has now been 3 months and I STILL do not have the results for my test. And I am back now to get an EMG. (I'd be surprised if I got the results back from this test anytime in the near future) I have called on multiple occasions to have my tests read or emailed or faxed, just anything to get the results. Well Dr. Yassa has gone out of the country now twice and still no results. My case manager has hounded then I have hounded them, and I kind of feel bad for the receptionist because she's answering all the calls and can't give anyone a definitive answer. And apparently the ONLY person in the office that can read the results is, yep you guessed it, Dr. Yassa. So I did a little digging, and it's public record- DR. YASSA HAS BEEN ON PROBATION, and about to lose her medical license to practice! That's how many times she has done something to upset the board of medicine, they literally put her on probation and she isn't supposed to be practicing alone. How In the world does she keep getting business?!?!? read more

Very unprofessional, disrespectful, and the most horrible doctor I have ever met. You will wait over an hour for an appt with no notice of a delay and the doctor's excuse is that the world is understaffed and that she wouldn't make her staff call if there is a delay. That is not a valid excuse, I work for a doctor's office myself and we take pride in our job, never had a doctor act like Nadine Yassa. She neglected to provide me with the accurate care and stated it is my fault. Yet I had no idea things needed to be done since it was never done by HER OFFICE AND STAFF. If I needed extra tests or a referral to see another specialists, the doctor needs to provide that and inform you. When I asked her why these test and referrals weren't done and why I was told a month later she implied it was my fault. So am I suppose to tell a doctor how to do her job? I was shocked to find out I needed to see a neurosurgeon, when she told me if that was done I told her no and asked who was supposed to sent the referral, she stated she was. I asked if it was done and of course she said NO, and then also implied that I have some fault in it. HOW and I mean HOW can someone especially a DOCTOR treat a patient like that. I will be complaining to the board. Please find another neurologist, that's the best advice I can give anyone that would like to see this doctor and if you don't believe me. Look up her name on the medical board, there's at least 8 complaints on her for negligence. read more

All I can say is good luck with this "medical" office, if you try to call and make an appointment it will never happen. I've called multiple times and left messages and yet never got any call back to set up any appointments. If I could give anything less then a 1 star I would read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. This "doctor" is an absolute JOKE. This woman tried to tell me that I didn't have Epilepsy after MULTIPLE doctors have told me over the last year that I do. She dismisses your symptoms, regardless of what you tell her. If you want to change your medications because she thinks they're not working, she'll tell you no and max you out on the medications you are already taking. She doesn't make eye contact with you, works on OTHER PEOPLES CHARTS WHILE SHES IN THE ROOM WITH YOU, which is a HUGE hipaa violation. DO NOT GO TO THIS DOCTOR. SHE WILL ORDER UNNECESSARY TESTS, and doesn't care about you, just you're money. Don't tell the office manager your problems because she literally doesn't care and is a complete joke. The only saving grace in this practice is two of the medical assistants. Olivia is absolutely amazing, and so great with other people. And the other girl, she's a red head, she is super sweet as well. With all this said, I URGE YOU, to get referred elsewhere. Because it's not worth the time, money or anything else to see this doctor. UPDATE: She suspended my drivers license with no proof of a seizure, but AFTER originally posting this review. WATCH OUT FOR HER. read more

UPDATE: Still the status quo at the funny farm. Still in business, still making everyone wait. But yet we continue to take it. Reminds me of the TV commercial depicting business people in black and white business suits carrying briefcases and following one another off the cliff. You know the one I'm talking about. read more

DON''T USE this doctor. On the first visit was waiting in the doctors office for 40 min before she came in. Went over my information in the computer and decided to change my prescription without explaining one word. Charged me a copay that was not necessary as I had meet my deductible for the year. Charges exorbitant rates. She billed my insurance company over $1000 for the first office visit. Nothing was done on this day except wait in her office for a long time and take down vitals. Does't listen to concerns from patient. Secretary does not follow thru with requests. When finished that day handed me my aftercare paperwork partially printed couldn't make out the words as they would not change tonier in printer. On my next visit two weeks later I asked them to refund the copay that I found out from my insurance was charged in error. She said she would talk to the doctor. I had an appointment the next week and they still had not refunded my copayment. Yassa saw me waiting at the counter when her assistant had apparently went to lunch and said hi and then walked off. It was more important for her to go and have her lunch then take care of her patient waiting at the counter. When asked Yassa directly for refund she said this is not the time and place to be discussing. What ever you do stay away from this doctors office. read more

I'm updating this review in order to add 20 pages of documents from the state medical board. You don't have to take my word for it (or any of the other 1 star reviews) - just read through these pages to see why you should not trust this doctor. This information is from the state medical board website - all public information. You can find it yourself at www.mbc.ca.gov .... I searched the physician database using her name. Please read my original review for my personal experience with this doctor. read more

See all

Stay away from this "doctor" she's dangerous! * If you're a Medi-Cal patient= get another referral to a better neurologist. * if you're paying w/ co-pay= she will only steal your money and order millions of tests to steal more of your money. Don't believe me and the 35+ other 1 star reviews here that agree with me? See for yourself with this website link from the California Medical Board that have investigated her medical license and brought charges against her! Her medical license record is not clean. http://www2.mbc.ca.gov/BreezePDL/document.aspx?path=%5cDIDOCS%5c20160726%5cDMRAAAFC7%5c&did=AAAFC160726191037431.DID&licenseType=A&licenseNumber=48720#page=1 * dr. Yassa is charged with Gross Negligence (Gross negligence is a conscious and voluntary disregard of the need to use reasonable care, which is likely to cause foreseeable grave injury or harm to persons, property, or both. It is conduct that is extreme when compared with ordinary Negligence) * ordering tests that are medically un-needed based on the patients signs & symptoms, just to bill the patient and take their money. * ignoring patients symptoms and mis-diagnosing them with a wrong diagnosis * copying & pasting patient report from previous appointments. (This means she doesn't dedicate her time to patients) * Diagnoses seizures even though patient has a normal EEG results. * If the EEG technician reports abnormalities on patient results, this "doctor" will report that results are normal. * Doesn't know the dangerous interactions between the 2 medications: Lamictal and Depakote * Failed to recognize medication toxicity symptoms * Prescribed medication(Prozac) that specifically says on the bottle it's not allowed for patients with suicidal ideation * In her charges, the investigator writes that "[Dr. Yassa] lacks knowledge in reading EEG's" * Also "failed to recognize symptoms of a partial transverse cervical myelopathy" * Did not recognize that all the patients symptoms in her chart were caused by cervical myelopathy. She wrongfully diagnosed this pt with mutilple sclerosis. * Failed to recognize symptoms & findings on an MRI And this is not all, read the rest of the document for yourself! I'm positive that after reading her charges regarding her practice as a Neurologist, you will quickly start looking for another Neurologist that will actually read your scans and correctly diagnose you. And not send you to the Emergency Room for medication toxicity. This "doctor" does NOT care about your health. All she cares about is getting $$$ out of you! She sees you as a bag of money that's it. Choose your Neurologist wisely, people. Because I wouldn't wish this doctor to my worst enemy. read more

Nadine Yassa, MD - There are fees for many services in this clinic. Watch out people. - Neurologist Near Me - Roseville, California

If I could give this unprofessional Dr. -5 stars I would. If you don't have a brain issue going in you'll have one coming out. The rudest most unprofessional human being , well if I can I even call her that...I have never met such a miserable person let alone a doctor. I've gotten more sympathy from my trash collector. She signed an oath to do no harm?!?! . . What a joke. We will not be going back. After a $250 cash payment to sit and be judged with her holier than thou attitude was about all I could take. Oh and she also didn't even look at the medical records but decided to make up her own which were total lies. She's a real winner.... Shame on you!!! God is watching... read more

Well I did have an appointment tomorrow, NO WAY! I have to say thank you to all the other reviewers for saving me a lot of time and frustration. This is exactly the b.s. I dealt with at my last neurologist. I hope someone sues both of these useless "doctors" FYI Dr. Firdos Sheikh in Elk Grove/Folsom is the same sort of useless scammer. She tried to give me high doses of Depakote without knowing my condition or even who I was. Avoid at all costs. read more

PLEASE SAVE YOURSELF AND RUN, RUN, RUN away from this corrupt, malicious, CON ARTIST of a so-called doctor. She will do exactly what the other people giving her these bad reviews said she would do. She put me through test after unnecessary test, caused me to go months and months without getting my license back when it should have been returned promptly, and then when it finally came time she dropped m​y insurance literally THE DAY before. She is truly insane, vindictive, I can't say enough awful things about her. I read the reviews and figured it was better to not switch horses midstream because I was already frustrated with the system. But trust me, you will be better off getting your insurance to refer you to someone else. Even if you have medi-cal like me and it's going to take months to get a new doctor, please save yourself from this horrible woman. I curse her name. Shame on her. She's a NIGHTMARE read more

Yassa is fake, she only wants your money and doesn't cat about her patients she is really rude and charges for unnecessary

Dr. Yassa is horrible. I stuck around way too long. She is rude. Her office waits were ridiculous. During COVID we switched to phone appointments and never went back to in person. You would think this would be a nice change. However, unlike every other doctor who can manage to make a phone appointment close to the scheduled time, her office tells me it is acceptable for her to call with four hours of either direction of the scheduled time! Last month they pushed our appointment back a month. The new appointment was supposed to be two days ago. Near closing when I still hadn't heard from her I called the office. Two days later they still hadn't responded to the message I left. When I called today she simply asked if I wanted to reschedule, no apology or anything. I'm done. I only stuck around to avoid having to get a new referral. At this point I'm not willing to put up with her BS anymore. She is a horrible excuse for a doctor and a person. read more

She deservers a hundred ZERO stars. Long post but worth the read. I haven't seen Dr. Yassa for a few years now, since 2015 but I will never forget how awful she was/is. She was a fraud and took money from Medical, she would make you separate appointment to get a test taken, and for your results. She once did a nerve test and only did one side, told me she didn't have time to finish and I needed to make another appointment for the other hand. I was seizure free for 3 three years and was ready to get my license like she said I could. After that appointment I asked for the paperwork for her to fill out for the DMV, she didn't have any with her and said I would have to get it myself. I went to DMV and got the paperwork, I came to the office and said I had it and wondering if I could drop it off. She told me I had to make an appointment for that.. which is her way of taking money from Medical, you should never have to make an appointment to have a piece of paper filled out. I was not thrilled about it and asked if I could speak with her about this, I was told by the front office that she was not there, at the hospital. Well guess who I saw walking behind the counter, you guessed it Dr. Yassa. I said I just saw her and want my paperwork filled out, I was very mad and said this is ridiculous and I wanted to speak with her now. It didn't happen and was asked if I wanted to make an appointment. I said no and walked out, I am not coming back. She sent a letter to my doctor saying I harassed her and she didn't want to see me anymore. THANK God, I was actually relived!! I got another doctor and he looked over my records, and signed my paperwork that day. So many other things, always waiting at least two/three hours for a 10 minute appointment, she was always rude and condescending, never really cared for your problems and put you on medications without explaining them or too high of a dosage. One time I called to talk to her and was told she had to go to the hospital for an emergency, I was at Starbucks when I called, I go outside to sit and she is sitting there drinking, eating and reading a book.. She told me I should take Tylenol when I am having pains, so I started and it was helping but I started getting headaches, I went back to her and told her what was going on, she told me I am getting headaches from taking the Tylenol and I just have to deal with it, she ended with, "just take more Tylenol" She cared more about her Botox business then taking care of sick patients, we didn't deserve any of her nonsense. She was always a liar and she office staff went along with the fraud and disrespect. I could literally go on and on about the awful things this person did. She doesn't even deserve to have her name spoken about, she was the worst person I have met, and I've met some horrible people. She deserved all the karma in the world, and I hope it hits her like a ton of bricks, happily it did!! Ironically, she lost her medical license, and will never get it back, she will NEVER practice again or take advantage of people and the system. "In this proceeding, plaintiff Nadine Yassa, M.D. (Yassa), challenges the decision of defendant Medical Board of California (the Board) to discipline her physician and surgeon's certificate. After the hearings, the Board found Yassa guilty of multiple acts of gross negligence, repeated negligent acts, excessive treatment, and failure to maintain adequate and accurate records, in connection with her care and treatment of four patients. The Board revoked her license, stayed the revocation, and placed her on five years' probation. Thereafter, Yassa petitioned the superior court for a peremptory writ of mandate to set aside the Board's decision. After exercising its independent judgment on the evidence, the trial court denied the petition. Yassa now appeals from the judgment denying her petition, challenging the sufficiency of the evidence for numerous findings supporting the decision". She was put on a 5 year probation and to pay $10,000. She gives doctors a bad name, I didn't go to see a new neurologists for 3 years after her, she literally made me afraid to go to the doctor, she told me I was making them up and I kind of started to believe her, even though she was wrong after all. She made me feel like I was some crazy person. I don't like to say I hate people, but I hate her, just an awful human being and a waste of air. read more

Dr. Yassa misdiagnosed me with seizures at 17 and I was on medication until 20 when I switched doctors and he had me retested because of serious doubt. I went to Yassa because of two blackout incidents. The first had just been ruled as my hypoglycemia by my regular doctor, but the second had some new factors to it that had me sent to Yassa. She had me put on keppra, and THEN had me do 2 EEGS. One of which, had a "small seizure" on it motivating her to bump up my dosage. Now I am aware there are different types of seizures, but this seizure that happened, literally no one could have told you happened. I didn't feel anything, didn't lose any sort of consciousness, my mother didn't notice anything. Had my license suspended, but due to the letter not arriving from the dmv, I didn't know this and she never said anything about submitting a request, i found out from pulling my driving record for something unrelated about two months after it had been suspended. But I had already had my most recent check up and she wouldn't let me come in earlier than the next 6 month check up to get the paperwork filled out to get my license back. Like others have said, she was never on time, ever, and had no bedside manner. Due to insurance change, I got set up with a new neurologist, and had a introductory appointment set up with him to continue my care. The second he walked into the room, he looked confused. He had read my file, and now asked me to tell him about the two incidents that led to me being diagnosed with seizures. I gave him all the details, and he immediately said "I don't think any of that points to seizures in you, they both sound like extreme hypoglycemic episodes, and I want you retested." Nothing showed up, he took me off the meds, and nothing has happened since. Oh and, Dr. Yassa decided that both of my parents should be tested for seizures, and my siblings. For no real reason. read more

As many other Yelp reviewers have noted, Dr. Nadine Yassa orders and performs unnecessary EEGs and other tests, to line her pockets. She is also fond of making the wrong diagnosis ("seizure" is her favorite) and she is fond of prescribing Depakote, at toxic doses. You'd think the California Medical Board would catch on. Oh, wait. They have... http://tinyurl.com/z5cultg read more

I joke doesn't even start it. So if you have nothing to do ALL day. Come here and if you want help DONT. They gave me some kind of test for my Epilepsy and the wire keep coming off in a dirty back room. And no one call me back to tell me if I was ok or not kept getting told I will hear from soon if I called. I will report her after today. read more

ATTENTION: Filing a formal complaint with the CA Medical Board is important and much easier than you might think. They have taken mine seriously and they will do the same with yours. Here's the link to get started. You might even save a life because, left unchecked, she's extremely dangerous with the power that's been conferred upon her as a so-called "doctor." http://www.mbc.ca.gov/Breeze/Complaints.aspx From that page, you can also click on PUBLIC DOCUMENTS on the right, enter her name Yassa, Nadine and see other actions taken against her by the CA Medical Board. They have quite a history with her - and not a good one. She is dismissive, disorganized, unprofessional, uncaring, and unscrupulous. Words would fail me if I tried to explain here just how awful she is. But I'm convinced she's mentally ill, if not a sociopath. She treats people horribly with a smirk on her face and no amount of complaints will make her amend her behavior. read more

Waited 2 hrs after my my appointment time to be seen, not once but twice. ..no apologies, not friendly.. I didn't want a follow up appointment to go over my results I wanted them sent to my dr, which weeks later hasn't happened yet. Unfortunately there was no other dr to see me my attorney sent me to her so I had no choice. If you have a choice go else where, otherwise pack a lunch, bring a book, a neck pillow prepare to wait.....l read more

My son was a patient of Dr. Yassa to treat his epilepsy. We have moved a few times, so we have experience with multiple neurologists. I have never experienced such a unfeeling, uncaring and disinterested medical professional in my life. She is part of his managed care system so he has no choice but to see her. She refused to refill his script when we moved, so he has gone several weeks without his primary med. I hope that the CA medical Board is successful in taking away her license to practice, as she is an embarrassment to her profession. Update: the CA Medical Board revoked her license, stayed that decision, and put her on probation for 5 years. She appealed many times, all of which have been denied. http://4patientsafety.org/documents/Yassa,%20Nadine%20Helmy%202018-02-26.pdf read more

Absolutely horrible experience. AVOID her.. Not recommended if you can find another dr. Yassa would not even look at me.. just stood at her computer assuming, to see if she was going to get paid.) She dismissed all of my symptoms regardless of what I was telling her. Already pissed that for 3 visits, I waited on her from 50 minutes to 90. Ridiculous. She stood with her arms crossed, just said over and over, there is nothing I can do.. didn't even discuss my AEEG. This woman is out to lunch .. HUMILIATING experience! m. 2/2018 read more

Was with her for 10 years. Wasn't getting anywhere. Appointment would be at 9am and she wouldn't even be in the office till 11am. Staff was always new and rude. Dr showed no concerns. Idk why I stayed so long. Finally switched and I'm loving my new doctor read more

She is a Great Dr. Very efficient and comprehensive and the most important, she explained to us everything we need to know about his condition. read more

Love her she is always there for me. Cares about what's going on with you and what you have to say always makes you feel like you're important to her what a blessing read more

Don't go there, doctor is not professional at all! Gave me results for my son and did not even bother to read them, horrible is not even the word!!!Just got her bill, mind you she charged my insurance $1,050 for her physician svcs and to not even read the results to me and UC Davis which I thought would charge more, charged less ,$513.00.Hope you have great coverage because she is a professional to charge and extremely unprofessional to do her job right!!!:( read more

My appointment at 9:30 she didn't see me until 11. I waited in a little room for an hour and half she was Kurt, rude didn't even look at me or shake my hand pulled on my arm in my hand so hard during a strength test I would never go back there she's a terrible doctor what a waste of my time staff was rude as well. read more

Dr.Yassa is the worst Dr I have ever seen. I won't get into all the details on how rude she is because they are not important. What is important is the fact that she diagnosed me with MS after briefly looking at my MRI and doing a very quick evaluation on me. I later went on for a second opinion at UCSF were, based on a 2 hour consult and extensive testing they said I clearly did not have MS. Dr yassa could easily ruin your life and any chances you may have at getting life insurance due to her ignorant and careless practice! Please spare you and your family the pain and devistation of this dr. I will never forget this horrible experience! read more

-The doctor was an hour late to the appointment -Made a joke about my finance regarding his condition -Insinuated I was lying about him regularly seeing a neurologist, when we transferred county's and had a long wait to get an appointment. -Quickly came to the conclusion in a ten minute period that he needed to change his medication to Depakote. -Became argumentative when I told her we would not be changing the medication We left in the middle of the appointment and refused service, did not give her any signed documents submitting to treatment. She in turn changed his medication to Depakote without our approval. I have made a complaint to the Board of Medicine. It is a patients right to chose the route of treatment, to be notified of change to treatment, and to refuse treatment. I believe she is mentally ill, please spare yourself the time and agony. read more

I have to agree with the one-star voters here. While she seemed to know what she was doing the staff was not helpful in returning calls and when I requested the results of my C-Scan I was told I had to make an appointment to see it and that is when I decided to stop seeing her. Yes, I was also scheduled for the EEG test and after reviewing it with information from the internet I do question why at age 68 I would need a test like that. I had hoped I had found a good neuro but I will keep looking read more

I was with Dr. Yassa from the time I found out I had epilepsy in 3rd grade. She definitely had some days where she seemed like she "wasn't having it" but I do not think she is awful as these reviews are saying. I went from having seizures multiple times a week to having zero. She did run very late often but a lot of it had to do with visiting patients in the hospital. I moved so now have a new neurologist but I would still be with her if it wasn't for me now living in another state. read more
