Cui Jian, MD PC

Okay enough about the bad ratings for Dr. Cui. His staffs are actually very polite and helpful. Today, one of the pretty staff told me which pharmacy to go for cheaper Accutane since I am paying it for myself. She was great. Yes, it is pricey to go to Dr. Cui’s office but their services are actually picking up!!! Very friendly, prompt and courteous!

I usually see Dr. Yee upstairs in the same building but she was booked. I thought that I would try Dr. Cui since he seems have a nice ofifce. He came in wearing a mask and spent about 10 seconds examining my face. Then he quoted me a price more than twice the price of what Dr. Yee charges for the same procedure. When I asked why there was such a big difference, he responded «we never discuss price, its about the quality of work». Very convenient BS response I thought. He has a way of making awkward comments which makes you feel that he was more concerned about making a buck than treating the patient. He didn’t use any medical terms or make any medical reference to my condition, which you would expect a doctor to do. It made me wonder whether he is really a doctor. I walked out very disappointed that I wasted my time.
I should have read the reviews on Unilocal before seeing Dr Cui. I would have saved myself $ 80 for the 2 minute consultation. I was surprised but also relieved that others had similar experiences. I notice that the review from Dee C. is the only positive review here. The review seems to be unusually vauge and complimentary. Dee C. probably stands for Dr. Cui. Nice try to compliment yourself doctor.

We made an appointment at 7pm thinking the day would be over and we would be able to go in quickly. However, we waited for 2 hours for a quick, impersonal, and unprofessional 5 minute consult. Never again. Stay away.

BY FAR THE WORST FAKE DOCTORS OFFICE IN THE WORLD.
First of all, you walk in thinking you’re there to see the REAL Dr. Cui, but sorry people, he’s retired but running his «medical profession» making the easy big bucks through INEXPERIENCED UNEDUCATED NURSE PRACTITIONERS!!! who, are brain washed to think they are professionals and give you the WORST ATTITUDE. I had this nurse practitioner see me, who was borderline yelling at me… for no reason. She’s lucky I held my temper and didn’t smack the shit out of her.
Not only was I MISDIAGNOSED, they collected copay at the office then dares to call weeks after for another copay. Then the «OFFICE MANAGER» (she changed her name twice because she was scared) first it was «SHAO» then it was «MICHELLE» had yelled at me and then called me a «a FUCKING BITCH»!!!
Enough said.
This office is a SHAME. YOU SHOULD BE CLOSED DOWN! I hope someone really sues the shit out of you, Doctor.

Run the other way indeed.
Two years ago my mother visited Dr. Cui Jian for a regular checkup and he insisted that the beauty mark on her left cheek (about 1 cm in diameter) should be removed. He said there were no signs of cancer but she should remove it for cosmetic purposes. Dr. Cui Jian said it would be $ 800.00 and would take 20 minutes, and would leave a tiny slit scar no longer than the mark itself. Having had the beauty mark all her life, she contemplated for a couple of years until I recently encouraged her to do it.
We walked in, and an associate walked in to ask us what the purpose of our visit was. We told her after carefully considering it for two years (!) we thought, WHY NOT! Live life. 20 minutes! 800 bucks! She laughed and left the room.
Dr. Cui Jian came in three minutes later and his first sentence was, «Oh it’s been two years! It was $ 800.00 back then but it’s $ 1200.00 now, also, I think your beauty mark has grown!»
We thought he was joking.
He explained that $ 800 would leave a scar TWICE as large as the beauty mark, and $ 1200 would involved TWO SEPARATE procedures which he recommends for a smaller scar.
We asked him what happened to the 20 minute procedure?
He said, «Well, your beauty mark has grown, right?»
«No. It did NOT GROW.»
Um no. As her daughter who has known her all my 28 years of my life, I think I would know if that mark changed. And if had GROWN, wouldn’t it be dangerous? When we explained to him our decision was made based on the short time it would take for the procedure, and how difficult it was for us because it has been such a big part of her life, all her life– he looked perplexed and didn’t understand it was a life-​changing decision.
He said this procedure is necessary and the best option for our desire to be beautiful.
I’m absolutely appalled and I think it goes without saying that we walked out. He was thoroughly embarrassed and turned red as he tried to defend himself when we put him in his place.
Yes. I agree with the other two 1-​star reviews. It is very transparent he is only after the money. And money is no object when it comes to health and cosmetology when it is done right with care. But clearly he does not care for the well being of his patients.

Unfortunately, I would have to agree with two of the three reviews for this practitioner. It is true that the transparency of this practice is well founded on the sole purpose of making money from patients. I went on two visits with Dr. Cui, the first time not having seen him after making an appointment because he was too busy, and the second time, for only a total of one whole minute, as he came in, asked me if I wanted any of the cosmetic surgeries that were available (yikes!) and then promptly billed me for the visit. When my father returned from the restroom at that moment, Dr. Cui’s entire demeanor changed, and in the presence of my father, he called me little princess in Mandarin. My dad was not fooled by his pretension, and advised me to find another dermatologist in the future. I have gone to other practitioners who were also interested mostly in taking advantage of people’s time and money, but Dr. Cui is by far the worst of them all because his mannerisms make his intentions so much more transparent.

Run the other way! Dr. James Jian Cui is a disgrace to the medical profession. Many people get suckered into the nice gleaming office, but wait time is excruciating because the office is out for money and money only. They overbook, leading to wait times of close to 2 hours. And even worse, when it was finally my turn, I spoke with the nurse for 50 seconds, and then Dr. James Cui popped in for exactly 45 seconds of diagnosis, talking with a surgical mask on the whole time. I was outraged; especially given the fact that as I was asking questions, as if on cue, his nurse cut in to answer and he swiftly left the room. To make matters worse, he billed me for surgery, along with the regular check-​up! I barely had 2 minutes of discussion with this doctor, mostly with his nurse, and he was going to lie to my insurance and say he performed surgery to collect more money? If you’re visiting Dr. Cui for acne, do yourself a favor, visit any other dermatologist that accepts your plan and just ask them to write you a prescription for DORYX 150MG. That’s the «secret medicine» those that referred me to him were raving about. Oh please, this is a well-​known acne medicine. Give me a break, save me 2 hours of wait time and all this aggravation. Where is the ethics and morals in a man who calls himself a ‘doctor’ charged with the care of people. I wouldn’t trust him with a rat, which he is. This doctor is a fraud and his license should be revoked, and I will report him to my insurance coverage to drop his practice.

BEWARE!!!
They initially told me that cyrosurgery (a procedure in which they briefly spray a mist of nitrogen to acne) was covered under my insurance. Six months later, afer six visits with six treatments, they slap me with a bill of $ 300 (it was originally $ 600 but they claimed they were doing me a favor by giving me a 50% discount) because my insurance did not cover it.
It wasn’t covered. Fine. BUT TELL ME AFTER THE FIRST TREATMENT, DON’T TELL ME SIX MONTHS AFTER! This could have very well gone for over a year and I would have been stuck with a bill close to $ 1000!
Due to their poor business practices, I am now out $ 300 for something they told me was covered. Not only was it not covered at all, they didn’t tell me for six months and kept treating me. Bottom line, if you do go there, make sure your insurance covers your procedures. Even if they tell you that something is covered, do NOT take their word. Call your insurance company yourself. Dr. Cui and his concubines are a bunch of crooks. Please message me if you want more details.

He is one of the best dermatologist in NY, but try to avoid seeing him on saturdays, or you’ll have to anticipate at least a 1 hour wait.
He knows exactly what he’s doing, so it doesn’t take long for him to give a diagnosis. A lot of patients complain that he doesn’t spend as much time as the other dermatologist before giving a diagnosis, but it only take a good derm a second or two to determine what condition he’s looking at.
So over all, he’s a great doctor, that’s why you might have to wait for a while to see him on the weekend.
Oh, and he moved to a new location on 38^th AVe, in Queens Crossing, at room 5H.
