Argoud Dr Georges

After waiting over an hour (with no explanation or apology for the long wait) and no request for a written medical history I was apprehensive.
I told him I was taking an herbal supplement from a reputable company for thyroid support 2x a week and he let it be known how uneducated and against natural supplements he is. Most supplements are not regulated but tested regularly by
.
There are many studies proving that herbs and supplements do work. If you want a doctor that uses only conventional lab work and pharmacuticals to not help you — and will not — Dr Georges is the doctor for you. He is not interested in the growing movement of treating your problems with a more holistic approach.
He is also against bio-​identical hormones! He said they also not regulated but they are. These have been very helpful for my menopause symptoms.

I’ve been with Dr. Argoud for years since my diagnoses with hypothyroidism, and later papillary thyroid cancer. I’ve never been satisfied with the staff. Getting a hold of anyone is a part time job, and if you DO get called back, it will be days later. You end up waiting nearly an hour to see the doctor for 5 minutes. BUT they did switch to Scripps recently, and when I called today for a refill, someone actually answered! They were super nice on the phone and said my refill will be ready tomorrow. I’m glad they switched to Scripps because now the reputation they show reflects on Scripps. I feel there’s more of an effort for patient satisfaction now.
I’m only giving three stars for my past experiences, but I will be happy to change it upon my next appointment, should it be a positive experience.

I have to give a good review to Dr. Argoud’s office. I barely waited at all for my 10:00 appointment. The office staff was very friendly, and I found Dr. Argoud to be be attentive and very cooperative. He didn’t tell me what I wanted to hear, unfortunately, but he also told me «You are in the the driver’s seat» and wouldn’t do anything he didn’t want me to do. That is very unusual for me to hear from doctors. We are going to get some lab work done and I will go back in 3 months, but so far I cannot complain about Dr. Argoud’s office. He even seemed to have a pretty good sense of humor and smiled at all the right times, so at this point they are looking pretty good over there.

Horrible front office staff! You need to call them about 10 times to get refferals, rx refills etc They never call back, can’t complain to the office manager because she IS one of those that never calls back! I had to personally call my insurance to get info on a refferal and I personally had to send it because the office manager supposedly couldn’t reach the other office! My pharmacy was trying to contact the office for a whole week to get my refills and never could! Horrible staff

I went to Dr. Argoud for a thyroid autoimmune disorder. First visit seemed ok but crap hit the fan when he put me on a different thyroid med, I was doing pretty well on it until he checked my labs and lowered my dose. I was out of state at the time and it was impossible to reach anyone at his office! I left many messages and no return call. I was having terrible symptoms and was very ill. Obviously, the dose was too low for me or maybe this particular brand was wrong. I had to be very persistent with his office staff to get a response. When I explained the situation to them, the response he told them to give to me was that I needed new lab work. No other option! He did NOT listen to me or care about my severe symptoms only labs. I was not able to do that out of state and would not be back for a month or more. I continued to call and ask for a refill of the original dosage that was acceptable to hold me over until I could get home to get my labs done. He did not like my assertiveness and I was told by the office person that he no longer wanted to be my Dr. because I did not comply with his instructions. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND WILL NOT TAKE YOUR SYMPTOMS SERIOUSLY! RUN! There are much better Dr.‘s out there that will treat you like a human being, not a test result!

Good luck getting a hold of his staff. They don’t answer phone calls even during business hours or like returning vm esp in the Solana Beach office. Doubt the doctor knows tho that his staff is doing this. My primary care even tried calling and has yet to get any of her vm returned going on 2 weeks now! She referred me elsewhere. So unprofessional!

I had a great experience at Dr. Argoud’s practice today that did not agree with the negative reviews. I found his bedside manner to be extremely professional and caring. He took a lot of time to answer my questions. His staff was pleasant, the office was clean and bright and I was seen at my appointment time b

The worst doctor I’ve even been to. Makes me wait over an hour. Then breezes in, scans my chart, ignores me when I try to explain my problem, then breezes out 5 minutes later without answering my questions. Granted, I have a complex medical problem. But his answer: «well, your numbers look good and that’s all I can go on.» If you have any alternatives to Dr. Argoud, take it1

I had an appointment with Dr. Argoud in Solana Beach. I found the office staff quite unprofessional. I had to wait more than an hour to see the doctor and then he called me by another name. He seemed very scattered. Once he figured out what I was there for he seemed nice enough but didn’t have enough time to finish what needed to be done. I scheduled another appointment but wanted the first one in the morning so I wouldn’t have to wait so long. I booked a 7 am three weeks later. They called to remind me of my 7 am appointment. I showed up right on time. The person greeted me with «Do you have an appointment?» Why else would I be walking in the office at 7 am? Even the sales people wouldn’t be there that early. No hello or good morning or can I help you. She then takes me to the exam room where I wait because the doctor isn’t in yet. I purposely made the first appointment so I could get in and out in 30 – 45 minutes. Well needless to say the doctor must have very little respect for any one else’s time because he wasn’t there. I walked out. It looks like I have to find another doctor to follow up. And if they charge my insurance there will be a fight on their hands. DO NOT GO TO THIS DOCTOR!!!

I have been seeing Dr Argoud for about a year now. he is a good Dr although he seems to be in a rush most of the time. But Brian Martin is amazing, I’ve only seen him once and he actually spent enough time with me to answer all of my questions and concerns and he got me all set up on what I needed right away! :-) I have to say, I really appreciate a Dr who actually cares and takes the time to address my concerns thanks Brian Martin.

Ok i was there on my appointment and then telling me my referral authorization has expired and that they can’t see me. How unprofessional of not calling you and making you waste your time to come in. They said they dont have my number. Oh well u should have called the office that referred you me right… Very disappointing! Ok future clients. U’ve been warned! Also btw, they dont call u before the day of ur schedule, so u better remember or else u will miss it! This clinic only opens wed and thurs!

So I had to come back for my appointment, they said 1pm. There was only one patient in front of me. They didn’t bring me in til 1:15 to get my blood pressure and basic info. They then told me the doctor will be in soon. 40 mins later, I thought they forgot me. I didn’t recieve any attention until 2 pm wtf. What’s the point of an appointment? Doctor only saw me for 5 mins and she we back to her little back room party cause I heard them laughing it up. I need to find a new doctor

I’m sure doctor Argoud is great but don’t, whatever you do, see Maria Argoud. I am 7 ½ weeks pregnant and she has given me completely the wrong advice about the importance of T4 levels in pregnancy. It’s a good job I had a good doctor before who explained it all so I was able to see through the advice and seek a second opinion. It could actually have put my babies development at risk. And at one point during the conversation she tried to end it by saying ‘that’s my advice, you can follow it if you want’. Not really sure how she has even got her medical licence.

this was the first and last visit to this Dr. I have already scheduled another visit with another Dr. If you want a Dr to really hear your concern and explain his thought process then this is not your Dr. I asked him at least 3 times what he was hoping to ascertain from the lab test he requested and he skirted the question each time. I was so unhappy with this Dr visit i sooooo wanted to request my copay back!!! I dont think he deserved it and i know he didnt earn it. In all fareness, I prefer a more holistic approach to medicine and this was not even close. I dont like giving an unfavorable rating but this was not a positive experience. The one star is for his staff, the girls were curtious friendly and the wait was very short.

First visit here, waited an average time for Dr’s office and was very pleased with the outcome of my visit with Maria Argoud, PA. I am definetly going back to see her.
