Dr. Christine Hom, MD

I saw this doctor as a teenager. Within the first 10 minutes of our first appointment, she told me I couldn't have a condition I suspected I had because I wasn't covered in open wounds and was able to walk through the parking lot. She went on to misdiagnose me with another condition I did not match symptoms to. Over a year of seeing her, she continuously made uncomfortable comments about personal matters unrelated to my health, such as my appearance and identity, and gave evasive answers about said condition, until finally telling me she wasn't qualified to say whether or not I had it in the first place. I was diagnosed with it by the next doctor I saw. All that was done here was that my actual treatment was delayed and my emotional fortitude was tested for a year.

The most caring and amazing doctor. My child has many different things going on and she always has her finger on the ball.

When I first walked into the exam room, she was closing a wikipedia page. Also spent 20 minutes complaining about me being on mental health medication, then prescribed me a pain medication that negatively interacted with the mental health medication she previously complained about. Pharmacist caught it and told me not to take it unless I wanted kidney damage.

Smart, thorough and kind.

Dr Hom has treated my two daughters who have JRA for about 14 years. She has been very knowledgeable, professional and most importantly -supremely proficient in her field throughout the years. She has NEVER been rude to any of us, but she is unafraid to scold her patients if they're not following their treatment plan (diet, exercise etc.). This trait is reflective of her genuine caring for patients rather than anything else. I highly recommend Dr. Hom to anyone with a child in need of treatment.

I would not recommend Dr. Hom to any human being. Rude, Sarcastic..does not listen. Has a great smile, 'appearing' friendly. Her mind, a computer filled with information, very smart sounding, with a heart that can give one a chill. Her office staff is great, kind and helpful. But i did not go to see her office staff!

First ap. she took time to examine our son. She made the diagnosis and send us home to see her in a couple of weeks. When we cam back, the pain was not much better. We waited for more then 1 hr. She saw our son for 5 min and told us that he is a boring case! She send us home with a follow up in 4 weeks. If we would have done this, our son would be dead. It was not inflammatory arthritis like Dr. Home diagnosed, but in fact it was Leukemia! We went for a second opinion what saved his life.

She seems very intelligent but was very rude and I've never been so dissatisfied with a doctor... I don't recommend her to anyone. But they ladies at the front desk and nurses were very respectful and helpful.
