Cui Jian, MD PC

The receptions are full of attitude and Dr. Cui is very impatient and rush out to see the next patient.

I have been going to different dermatologist in Chinatown and i always deal with the PA’s not Dr. Cui himself. I walked in and I quickly get to see the PAs and get myself register for Accutane and a blood test form. So the process didn’t take too long. There is a trick on how to get to see the PA’s quickly… Go there around 9am and then sign up then you will get to see the PA’s quickly if you don’t want to wait!

I had an appointment with Dr. Cui today, and I wish I had read the reviews before going. When I walked in, I informed the receptionists that I had an appointment and she rudely told me to just sign in and sit down to wait. When I got in, Dr. Cui walked in with a surgical mask, as everyone has stated. He told me that I would need a shot and a whole bunch of medications that he said without explanations and his PA wrote down. He conveniently left out that the shot was a ‘surgical procedure’ and that it cost $ 150. I only found out when I refused it and the nurse quietly asked him if she should remove the $ 150 fee from the bill. Similarly to others, he was in the room for about 60 — 90 seconds before leaving and telling me to make another appointment to see him in 2 weeks. They are definitely only after your money and very rude! I would suggest looking for a different dermatologist.

Dr cui was much better 10 – 15 years ago when he was in his old office. He was patient, caring, careful and always able to help what I asked. He used to be my favorite doctor.
But ever since few years ago his office moved, he starts with short cut not like the way he used to be. I had a pimple on face and he told me it became a cyst. In the past he would find a way to squeeze out or burn them one by one. But last time I went he just injected me with steroid!!! And left a de on my face half year later! WTH! I would never go back to him again! Would not recommend to any of my friends anymore.

Brought my 5 year old daughter in for a minor skin issue, got there on time for the appointment but still waiting for 1.5 hour. No greetings from the Front desk, their office is huge, u think they definitely should have water dispenser for their patients, no. No water, no bathroom for patients at all, you’ll have to use the public bathroom on the floor which shared with 8 other medical offices, how disgusting is that. Most of the small medical clinics I’ve been to have their own bathrooms for patients. They do have their bathroom, but they won’t have u use it unless they know they’re making big bucks off you.
Even before being seen by the doc, the front desk asked me to pay for today’s visit, becuz my deductibles. She told me any procedure being done today including tests will be paid for by myself. I told her my daughter is 5, she needs no test, let’s see her first before talking about billing. I sensed that the only thing they care about is money, they don’t care about you. When you go in to see a doc, you’re nervous about your sickness, u want to find out what is wrong first, not being bombarded with questions about paying now before seeing the doc. Dr. Cui jian didn’t see us, it was another young doc.
If I wasn’t too far from the city, we would see a dermatologist in the city. They care more about the patients than flushing ones, I’m so sad that this office runs the way they do, and all they care about is money. What a shame.

This place is always packed with appointments, even on weekdays. Every time I come here, I have to wait an hour or more longer than the time I was scheduled for. I really don’t understand why so many people come here when the dermatologist here is seriously out to rob people. There are certain medications that can be obtained free through a prescription but the dermatologist here does not even suggest writing a prescription, he would just tell you to pay for their products at the counter? I don’t know… I somehow end up buying something from them every time I stop by.

Nice office, but that’s about it.
2, 3 months ago I started breaking out really badly all over on my neck and face. I went to get it check out. Some other female doctor saw me and immediately told me that what I have is not acne, but Acne Rosacea. The major sign of a Rosacea is your cheeks and nose are extremely/​noticeably red. I asked her if it comes all of a sudden she said no, it’s always in me. Well over the past 30 years, I never had break out like that, plus I NEVER had Rosacea, my face doesn’t really turn red even when it’s hot! I told her that, and also told her that this came all of a sudden about 2 months ago, she started being impatient and with a little attitude. Then because she had to write me a prescription, she told me I have to pay $ 35 extra (on top of the $ 80 I’ve already paid, I have no insurance.) None of the other doctors I went to, cash or co-​pay, doesn’t charge extra for writing up a prescription. Is that even right?
Though she is the professional one, and I believe what I have is not just acne, but I really question about her diagnosis of Rosacea since the 2 things SHE SAID about it were not what’s happening to me. It’s like telling you that you have pigment disorder when you don’t have any discolouration, not even one freckle!
DO NOT GO THERE! And do not let their beautiful office fool you!

DON’T GO THERE!!! If there’s negative stars, I would give him 10. I wish I should check Unilocal review before I go there. Absolutely agreed with other reviews. THEY ARE OUT JUST FOR MONEY! No professional manner. I went there for a cyst on my upper eyelid. His staff took me in the room first, when I explained that I am there for the cyst. They are more focus on the freckles on my face, and talked about 30 mins just for the special price they will offer me.
The next week when I went there for my stitches removed. I’ve been hanged there for 1 hr. 30 mins., and the front desk keep telling me because I was late. (I wish i could curse at them). I got there before even the dr. came. And after they took all the new patients, they told me to go in the room. And guess what. I didn’t even see the dr. or nurse. It’s the lady who works at front desk removed my stitches. They asked me for my copay. Hell no, I told them to bill me, then the lady said «oh, ok, the dr. said never mind this time» WTF
Over all, don’t go there! The dr. is careless of his patient, and more caring about $$.

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.

Agree with all of the above comments.
Please note that now a days, a lot of these MDs utilize PAs to see their patients. If you are lucky, yes, maybe the actual dermatologist will pop in. But in this office, you probably even won’t see Jian Cui if you have Medicaid or some other forms of subsidized insurance. It’s usually his PA who writes the script, diagnose you, treat you, etc.

Search for other reviews of JIAN CUI on Unilocal –you will pull up equally negative reviews of this fraud of a man. 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.
