Dr. Younis has been our family doctor for 30 years. He has been with us in routine health problems and serious problems. I have never had a problem getting an appointment promptly with Dr. Younis himself. Let me say his office staff goes above and beyond to make us feel welcome and work out any small glitches that may routinely occur. Dr. Younis is attentive to every detail. I never feel rushed and he takes time to answer all our questions. On two occasions a word said in conversation resulted in hospitalization for my wife. He has a keen sense of medical situations which require immediate attention. Thank you Dr. Younis and staff. It is so comforting to know that when medical problems occur, you know you can get immediate attention. read more

The worst operation in an Doctor's office! The front office is mean, uncooperative and stubborn! They don't give appointment according to your need and time! The answering service is an elderly lady who has problems taking down information properly and when I object that I am in pain, she calls me rude! She doesn't pass on my message to the he PA and Sabba got mad at me! They forget that they are in the business of serving the Patients! They run the office as Social Security does! Just terrible! Dr. Unis has never seen me! It derives from the source! No care! read more

This doctor is SO freaking odd and perhaps senile. I came in for one thing and he decided to make multiple diagnoses that had nothing to do with the original thing AND did not even end up being accurate, & weren't based on any actual testing. I wanted blood work done. He wrote in my file to my insurance that I have "alcohol dependence" when we didn't even talk about alcohol intake, nor did they take my blood or test for anything like I asked. I got a second opinion on things and nothing he diagnosed me with was NOT accurate. What the hell? That's now in my permanent file to my insurance. I'm pissed. read more

To be honest this medical care Dr. is non existent! Staff doesn't care, terrible no respect!

We had been patients of Dr Younis for almost 10 years. He can highly recommended by my wife's cardiologist, and was one of the few primary care physicians in our Medicare HMO in the city we live. Ten years ago, he was an excellent diagnostician. As time progressed, his diagnoses became sloppy. Additionally, he is being forced by the insurance providers to computerize his records, and he is trying to pass on the additional costs by requiring patients to have a "wellness physical" examination every ninety days to renew prescriptions. Most Medicare HMO plans will only pay for ONE "wellness physical" examination per year. Big question - are the patients supposed to pay for the additional "wellness physical" examinations? It's sad to see a doctor sign his own death certificate. read more

I've had a prescription for a medication I've had to take every morning for the past 12 years to stabilize a blood condition. My primary care physicians have let my prescription run perpetually as my condition will never change. Two years ago I had to change doctors and came to Dr, Younis due to his convenient location. For whatever reason, Dr. Younis required me to come and see him every 6-9 months in order for my prescription to be refilled. This past week, when I realized I was almost out of medication, I contacted my pharmacy for a refill. I was surprised when they told me I had to get my doctor's approval for a refill...which, of course, meant making an appointment to see him. I was going to run out of medication before my appointment so asked to have it filled but Karen, who handles prescription refills at the office, refused. When I asked "So that means I will go over a week without medication?" she replied "Yes. You need to make your appointment before you run out of medication." She refused to even offer enough medication until my appointment. Obviously they care more about $$$ than they care about their patients. Never going back. read more

I honestly don't know how there are sooo many good reviews. I'm a covid patient and Dr Younis has not reached out one time! When I called his office he refuses to speak to me and will only relay messages through his staff. I asked if he was taking virtual appointments for covid patients... he said no! So what are covid patients under your care supposed to do DOCTOR? Finally, once my symptoms were over I called the office to ask what I should do from here... they said to go to the EMERGENCY ROOM?! Are you serious?! As an educated doctor that is your advice?! You are an idiot and I hate that my insurance automatically assigned me to you. read more

the negative reviews don't lie. I saw this doctor a few times and already changing to a new one. I literally had major internal bleeding and he just tells me to change my diet what a joke. Ended up going to a different doctor and found out my issue was actually really serious. Staff is always lacking on any requests I ever asked of them. Not to mention the last time I was there I was waiting in the lobby and I noticed the staff had ordered themselves a bunch of pizzas and when the delivery guy comes in they just took the food and didn't tip the poor guy. The guy left clearly upset with them. You can tell he's been there many times from the look on his face when he came in. They probably never tip them. How embarrassing to have someone deliver your food to your job so you don't have to leave and you cant even give the guy a single dollar. Who raised you people? I know this is unrelated but really shows you the type of people they are. That was unbelievable and classless. I'm never coming here again. read more

Let me share my experience at this doctor office. I got into horribly accident with bike and car...was in ICU for 5 days...after I got home, the ICU doctor wanted to keep me under his care for a week and this doctor got into pissy ego and dropped my care completely afterwards. Then during COVID-19 period, I called and asked for an appointment but told the receptionist that I will call them back to confirm. She had me down on December 24th and billed me $40 for NO SHOW. After several calls and explained, they didn't want to hear me out and proceeded with the collection agency for $40. Stay away from them. read more

Incompetent staff. Inconsiderate and scam artist of a doctors office. Called in for prescription refill and and the the person on phone insisted I needed to come in for for my yearly. I go in for scheduled checkup only to find out I'm a month away for my insurance to approve it. I raise my concerns. They said they will take care of it and post date since it was their mistake. I pay my deductible and assume they will stand on their word for the mistake. I get a bill from my insurance for the visit and the blood work I got done after I was to be eligible for yearly checkup insurance. Which is few hundred dollars now. Will call them when the billing person is around to see if they rectify their mistake and inconvenience caused. Will update once I know more. read more

I'm SO glad I'm changing doctor's... I just received a 15 dollar collections letter for 15.59. I don't know why they didn't CALL ME to tell me I was missing a co pay... But no! They send me to a collection agency!! I don't even think I owe them anything as I ALWAYS pay my co pay up front. I feel like I been robbed as I paid cash one time since the receptionist lied to me about the debit card having a charge of 3 dollars. So i paid her in cash. That is the ONLY time I was told about this "3 dollar fee" from all the times I have been in that office. Fucking ridiculous!!! I'm fucking fighting this charge. Fuck this office. I'm so pissed read more

They do their job butttt..... if you are trying to get some good rest in the lobby. This is the place to be. Come here if you want to wait 1hr avg after your appt time. They triple book or something. They purposely expect you to wait and could care less about your schedule and being timely read more

Do not go here if you are young, Dr. Younis will gaslight you the entire time you see him (which would only be ~5min before he walks away from you). My appointment was at 11, I didn't even see him till 11:20. I talk to him about stomach issues I was having for months, he just says maintain a better diet and prescribes me a med. I ask if it could be anything more complicated, he looks at me like I'm an idiot and says no you're 25 and walks away. 5 min of talking total. Doesn't say bye or ask if there's anything else. The nurse comes to wrap things up and I ask her if she can call the doctor back as I had more questions. He comes back and shakes his head saying "cmon I have other patients". I just say sorry and ask about some mucus issues I've been having for a long time, he says it's allergies and to take allegra and walks away again. On his way out I ask if I can get bloodwork done, he shakes his head again, goes to get the forms then tells me to leave. Entire time he is yelling and talking down. I am changing my PCP immediately. read more

I'm sad to have to update this review. After more than 25 years as a patient if Dr. Younis, I have moved to a new physician. The issues I had are this: 1. Incompetent billing department. -- invoices for visits when the payment was made at the time of service. Multiple phone calls with assurances that I would no longer receive bills, only to get another bill the following week. --invoices for visits where I paid cash ... when I mentioned this they looked it up and found the payment and assured me that it was corrected... only up send me another invoice the following month. --telling me that I owed for the flu shot (when it's offered with no copay through my insurance) and it took an act of God to have the charge removed. --Invoices mailed for my husbands visits when we paid with check and had proof of payment 2. Could never get an appointment with Dr. Younis For almost three years it was impossible for me to get an appointment with Dr.Younis. I would call (very sick) and be told that the earliest appointment was 3 to 5 days later and with a physicians assistant. When I would inquire if I should just go to the emergency room (I have asthma and waiting 3 to 5 days could mean going into the hospital) they would manage to find me an appointment the next day with a physicians assistant. But i could rarely, if ever, get a same day appointment even if I called the minute they opened and I can't remember the last time I saw Dr. Younis. I'm sad I had to leave and I wish him the best. He's a great guy and I'm so thankful for the good years of care that I received. read more

Located on the corner of Barranca and Culver in the Mimi's Cafe plaza. Dr. Younis is great - everytime I've called he's been able to squeeze me into his schedule the day of! He is friendly, and asks about your life and shares a bit about his too so he is personable and easy to talk to. When I asked to take a urine test to check some things, he immediately warned me that it's pricey and if I don't really need it, to wait until I have insurance. I like that he doesn't try to throw all these tests and other suggestions at you - unlike some other doctors I've had in the past. I'm always wary about doctors because they upcharge for stupid reasons and some practices are super shady, but Dr. Younis seems very upfront and honest. The only reason I can't give this place a 5 star review is because they only take Cash or Check, so make sure you bring your checkbook with you!! I wish they had charge, it would make my life so much easier. One time I didn't have enough cash or a check on hand, so they made an exception and allowed me to mail in the payment. Still, it's a big hassle. read more

I wanted to give Dr Younis 10 stars, but yelp maxed it at 5! I went and googled Dr Younis and found out all the accomplishments he has achieved!!! I didn't even looked at yelp to see any review! I decided to visit him for the first time this month and i am so glad to feel at ease with Dr Samy!!! He is caring and in love with humanity, his kindness and sense of humour is unmatched and beyond belief! I would recommend him with a kind warm heartbeat! Peace, kindness & Love to Dr Samy, his colleagues, his staff & to you all!!! Kindly Tony Bresse read more

Younis Samy A, MD Overall 5 Stars Gold medal- Efficient Silver medal - Informational Bronze medal - Great Service So far so good! I am not sure about the other bad reviews here on Yelp, but I went in today for a full check up and it went great. I requested a female doctor and saw Kirsten Fick the PA. When I arrived there was NO wait! Unlike some of the other doctors offices where I had waited 1 hr+ in the past due to over booking, Samy's office had NO wait! I was in and out in 35 minutes. Kirsten was very informational. She answered all my questions and concerns. She requested extra tests to insure that I was healthy. She was very professional and nice. Kirsten answered my billing concerns. I could not of asked for a better examine. Great service from the receptionist to the examine. HAPPY EXAMINING!! read more

I've been going to Dr. Younis since 1999. While he was a great doctor for most of these years, his practice seems to be going downhill fast. Dr. Younis seems very tired and overworked, and his front desk staff is downright rude. Please train your staff to be friendly and not so abrupt and put the customer off. read more

Seriously he wouldn't even look down my throat but 6feet away. Wow I had to go to an online doctor to get antibiotics he even saw via web that my throat was swollen. read more

I've been going to Dr. Younis for several years now. Never any issues, always gives me sound advice. Dr. Younis is knowledgeable and friendly. Office staff is also professional and courteous. read more

Sadly after having been a client of Dr. Younis for 28 years, I just decided to move on to find another doctor. Got a sore throat very badly and could hardly drink and swallow anything. Wanted to see Dr. Younis or any licensed nurse for a prescription. But the office told me on the phone I had to take a covid test before I could be seen there. I asked if a quick antigen test would be ok, but was told no, it had to be a PCR test. Upon asked, she told me it's a policy for anyone who has a symptom to be seen there. Well, my son's pediatrician does not require that. I am sure many other doctors don't shame themselves by requiring that. It's not acceptable Dr. Younis, if you hear me. Covid is not a deadly disease any more, and I don't even think I got it. I am fully vaccinated. More importantly you are a doctor and you have made a rule that makes it harder for the patient to be seen when he needs you? read more

I am a new patient and will not be returning! I was referred from my OBGYN, they talked highly of Dr Younis and their staff. My husband called in to schedule my whopping cough shot and they stated we did not have a co pay and its covered under preventative. Few months passed they sent us a bill for 20.00 dollars, stating we had a co pay for 20.00 and they made a mistake. We spoke to Jenny which is really rude and not understanding that their STAFF made a mistake, and they care about is collecting money. We should not been charged a co pay because its covered under preventative as well as we confirmed with the receptionist that there would be NO co pay. OVERALL- Horrible experience! read more

I can describe Dr. Younis with one word "amazing" he is just the best Dr. I've ever seen. He cares about his patient and does anything to make them feel better. Overall the best internist Dr. in the world, we are so proud of you Dr. Younis :) read more

Very superficial Doctor.Is friendly and funny..but if you have some healt issue is getting frustrated..seems he doesn't like to be bother.Came in the room without checking the patient chart my husband has to remaind him his very serious brain diagnosis . No compassion at all.I will never go back to this person. read more

OMG I just talked to Amber in the office. What a nightmare talking to her. Beyond RUDE. I explained to her the office has made a mistake in regards to my appointment. She seems to thing someone else call to schedule my appointment I explained no one will call to schedule a appointment for me but ME.... I have been with this doctor for 20 years I will not walk away because Amber does not know what she is talking about. Dr. Y you have a great bedside manner but Amber EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE... read more

Hands down, one of the best caring doctor I came cross. Excellent; AP, nurses and administration staff, professional, efficient and treats other with respect. The doctors care is to the point, geared toward the patient health and not their own financial gains which is hard to find. Thank you all, keep it up! It's sure is worth the 40 miles drive. Here is to everyones health! God bless! read more

Best Doctor ever. Doctor Younis takes his time getting to know his patients. He's very thorough when it comes to patient's medical history and medications. When you're under his care, you know you're in good hands. Highly recommended. read more

His Billing clerk directly refused to work with my son on a $67.65 bill. Billing clerk was rude and argumentative. Telling me she'll just send this to collections. Tried to tell me that my insurance payment they had received was actually the amount they would have to "eat". She couldn't even get her amounts correct. Avoid! read more

I would like to thank Dr. Younis for not only being a great Doctor but for being an even better person. After all of these years I am particularly impressed with his pleasant and professional attitude as well as his ability to be a skilled practitioner. I have complete faith in you and your medical recommendations, you have my highest regard and I will confidently refer you to my family and friends. read more

Dr. Younis is a great doctor, been with him for 15 years. Yes he has a accent but easy to understand. Repeats what he says to make sure i understand what he is explaining. Refers me to very good specialist when and if I need one.Kind, thoughtful and to the point, he cares about his patients. Office staff is tops. I can actually say I love this man for he has done for me. I never known another that cares so much. And I have to alot of different doctors, I'm 67 yrs old and been around the block a few times. read more

Horrible staff. The ladies at the front desk screw up on appointments and state I was supposed to come in on a different day at a different time. This is the third time it's happened to me. I purposely schedule my appointments on days I am off of work and they claim I made an appointment on a day and time when I'm at work which is false. I asked the staff if they do appointment reminders and they replied that they don't do such thing. I ask as far as missed appointments if they call to check on their patients and they say no as well. The staff here is unprofessional! I highly advise you to choose a different PCP because you don't want to take your business here. read more

I echo all the other negative reviews, he was my doctor for a short time. He likes to ramble on about non essential things, quick to diagnose and when you pursue him to get a proper answer he says he is busy and cant answer questions. The best part is where he taps the stethoscope on your chest and back a few times without asking you to take a deep breath. Seems to just go through the motions, minimalist health care. read more

Do not walk away from this Medical Group RUN! Both of my parents were under his care for years with multiple issues and he has not taken care of one of them! * Supposedly performed an annual physical and blood test and missed the fact that all vital levels were dangerously low. * Missed brain tumor and weight loss. * My Father almost died had to be put in a coma. * Mild anxiety not sleeping due to COVID stress - gave father something that takes weeks to take effect, I called back for something else and MD said see a psychiatrist! * Will only refer to people in his group even though my father has gone to a certain specialists for years and Ins company stated that all MD needs to do is write the referral but he refused! This is after he told my dad that he will refer him to anyone he likes if he signs up with him again. * Billing is a mess. * Told my mother that she has kidney issues and to just drink water. * Told her she had allergies for years. I took her to another MD and it was walking pneumonia! RUN!! read more

DON'T GO TO THIS DOCTOR. Worst doctor and office ever. Gave me wrong medication. Worst customer service and workers are so rude and not friendly at all. Don't go there read more

Dr. Younis' staff member named Amber is extremely rude and does not know how to properly perform her job. She is getting clear instructions from our insurance company on how to receive payment and she does not follow the directions. She keeps telling my daughter to call the insurance company and follow the directions. That is NOT my daughter's responsibility as she is not the billing representative for Dr. Younis' office. It is Amber's responsibility to follow filing directions from the insurance company to receive payment for their office. There were many providers for a health incident and everyone else has been paid by insurance except for Dr. Younis' office due to negligence by Amber. The insurance company has documentation and proof of sending Dr. Younis' office instructions on how to file to receive payment and Amber continues to ignore instructions or follow through with the insurance company on receiving payment. read more

Dr. Younis has been my family doctor for many years. I am very please with the the care i am receiving. He is very professional, caring, compassionate and attentive to our needs. He is on top of everything.He has a good bedside manner and his office is very accommodating. He will update you with your lab. results right away, follow up is easy. He cares so much about his patients. His office is even so far from where i live but i do not mind traveling just to see him. I know i am in good hands under his care. I am highly recommending him. He is the best physician and had been awarded for the past consecutive years. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Younis for almost 20 years. I have tried other providers over the years but he is, simply put, the best family doctor around. He cares very much about his patients and loves what he does. His staff is very attentive and personable (thank you Tes). Like I stated, I've been to other doctors, but when my family member got really ill (cardiac arrest, pulmonary embolism, cardiac tamponade), there was no primary care physician we would trust other than Dr. Younis for recovery. There are urgent care places you can go to get treated quickly and they may address your colds and flu just fine, but Dr. Younis also cares about your overall health. read more

I have been seeing Dr Younis for at least 30 years. He also took care of my aging Mom. I can't say enough positive things about Dr Younis. I am also a RN. I believe I know a brilliant, caring, kind Dr when I see one. Dr Younis is one of these Drs. He is never in a rush and explains what your problem is and what needs to be done. He gives excellent referrals if you need a specialist. I always ask to see him and not the PA. This has never been a problem. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. read more

My family and I have been patients for many years and I just wanted to say that Dr. Younis is one of the most caring and knowledgeable doctors that I have ever been to. His staff is friendly, especially Tess, who takes the time to listen and is caring as well. The front office is new but is learning quickly and getting to know the patients and the friendly smile is greatly appreciated. The longest waiting time that I have experienced is about 10 minutes...I am usually seen within 5 minutes...the office is very clean and efficient. Thank you Dr. Younis for being there for me. read more

Beware new patients: Whoever does the billing here did not send in appropriate paperwork to my insurance and thus, I was billed directly. My insurance sent me a copy of the letter requesting information from the doctor's office and included a note that no further action was required by me. I guess it was my fault for not taking action, but clearly someone didn't do their job here. read more
