Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Ahn is treating my Mother for dementia. I simply love the way he handles her! She's quite difficult and he knows how to diagnose and get to her core. My reason for not 5 stars is on the staff and that sometimes he seems to be rushing and can be gruff. However, that's what works for her. The staff seems in a bad mood often. But the level of communication from all is high. Call, go to portal, read the very detailed exit sheets provided etc. I would highly recommend Dr Ahn for your elderly parent as well. He's really very good, knowledgeable and kind.

Knows nothing about migraines or epilepsy. Prescribes meds that throw off your balance so intensely you can't walk anywhere without holding onto walls and objects and never helps the problem. He then tells you to find a pain doctor instead of him. He is supposed to be a neurologist that deals with neurological issues, including migraine and seizure disorders but he cant. Don't waste your time and money. Just find a knowledgeable neurologist that can help you rather than embarrass your.

It is difficult to write a review without bias considering the experience I’ve received by Dr. Ahn and his staff. Today I was turned away from my appointment, not for the lack of insurance or failure to meeting my deductible, but rather a small hiccup which has occurred in my family’s company-provided insurance plan. This includes both with several letters in hand from the actual insurance company and despite being a patient for almost two years and having 4 seizures since my last appointment.

This doctor mind is there, but his heart isn't no where near connected! That alone isn't a good combination, and nor good thing! Far from being a people's preferred physician! My visit with him was a complete: waste of time, energy, interest, expectation, investment, and yes Lord, a waste of tax payers money!

My current Neurologist closed his office. Dr. Ahn would not see me without a referral and my records. Those were faxed to his office and the office staff never bothered to call me. I found another Neurologist to see, but Dr. Ahn's lovely (enter sarcasm here) staff would not fax my records to the new Neurologist, nor would they give me the copies to take to the new Neurologist. BEWARE of this one.

I love Dr. Ahn and also his office and staff. He is extremely patient, and kind. He is a doctor who puts you at ease immediately because of his knowledge and demeanor.. It is very hard for me to find such a doctor since I am now on medicare. I have and will continue to highly recommend him. He listens and explains everything with professionalism, but also in a way that is very easy to understand.. I have complete trust in him.
