Wang Robert C Dermtlgst

I caught scabies by staying 3 nights at a crappy hotel that never changed its bed sheets from the previous guest. Loe and behold, four days after I checked out from the hotel, my body broke out into clusters and welts of 100+ nasty, burning, itching bug bites all over my face, neck, chest, arms, hands, and feet. If you know you have scabies, you can’t wait another second otherwise another batch of new mites will hatch from their eggs within 24 hours. Time is of the issue. After doing some online research, I knew that I had to see a dermatologist immediately without delay.
On Friday morning, I called up a dozen dermatologists throughout the San Gabriel Valley. Most of them don’t even work on Friday afternoons or even Fridays for that matter. If they did work on a Friday, they were all appointment-​only and they had no openings. I finally got so desperate that I was willing to see any dermatologist. When I called up Dr. Wang’s office, I was surprised that they were willing to take all walk-​ins who showed up in between 1pm-​6pm on Friday. Wow! That was completely unheard. I found out Dr. Wang because I looked up which dermatologists were contracted through my insurance network. (Yes, folks. Go to your health insurance’s website and look up to see which doctors are covered under your plan.)
The wait wasn’t that long. I could tell that it was an office that catered mainly to Chinese patients, but the receptionist and Dr. Wang can also speak English.
When I saw Dr. Wang, I told him that I had scabies. He did not question my intelligence. He was very polite and asked me to show him my symptoms. After examining the bites all over the body and hearing about how I got the bites, how they exploded overnight, and how they itched and burned like crazy, he wrote a prescription for permethrin cream which is the first-​line medication prescribed for scabies. He made sure that I had enough quantity of tubes to treat myself the same day as well as one week later. He also explained to me how to apply the cream properly. He was very thorough. He also prescribed me Lidex solution which is an absolute miracle to stop all itching after one application (That is that day after you applied permethrin and washed it off).
Can I not tell you that Dr. Wang was a total lifesaver in my situation? Especially since most dermatologists don’t take same-​day appointments. I was very grateful that he was willing to take same day, new patients.

Called asked if they accept blue shield PPO insurance, answer is: yes, when I arrived, after they see my card: no we do not accept this kind of insurance! I was like: no, someone told me on the phone, you guys accept that. Answered: no, we accepted blue shield PPO, but not cover ca blue shield PPO.
I don’t think she’s even know what she’s talking about! Ridiculous!!!

Receptionist checked my insurance before doctor visit. Confirmed only what I needed to pay was my co-​payment. FINE! I agreed to pay co-​payment only. Few weeks after, started to receive bills from Robert Wang office. If receptionists do not know how to check insurance, replace them to stop scam.

When I arrived, there was a small waiting room, mainly senior citizens. The wait wasn’t too long to my surprise but I found out why after. I was literally in and out of the office in ten minutes.
I was explaining to the doctor about two cyst I had on my face. I told him and I wanted to get it removed which would involve cutting and he said no. He barely even looked at me and began to write out a prescription for me saying that it would be easier to use cream. I also asked about my dry skin and if he recommended anything and all he said was to stop eating spicy and foods with oil.
Of course, like the idiot that I am, took the doctors prescription and went on my merrily way to the drug store.
I went home, excited to use it. Yay, today will be the day my cyst are gone… or so I thought. Nope, after using the prescription, my face began to peel and turn red. I figured it was a side effect for the cysts to go away. Nope, cyst remained after two weeks. Did not get smaller or anything.
Do yourself a favor, find another doctor. Don’t waste your time or money here.

The doctor office is very old and dirty. I was very uncomfortable sitting at the patient’s room. Saw used q-​tips and hairs all over the floor. Very disgusting. My acne didn’t improve after that visit and the medication. One of my worst experiences at all. I would give this zero star and will not recommend this to anyone.

Very rude, disorganized, Dr. and the staff all have poor English. A waste of time and money.

OMG! This doctor sucks. I think he just takes me as a ginny pig to test me. So I came in with either psoriasis or ezcema or dertamitis. Which is it, no one can tell me correctly. So once I came in here, because my boss was paying for the service. So I came in thinking he knows what he’s talking about. OH HELL NO!
He tells me without touching my skin or explaining to me what I have, he just tells me that I have a allergic reaction (to what i have NO idea) and so gave me antibiotic and ask me if i was allergic to any medicine. I told him of course. But, he still gave it to me anyways. I went in on a friday and started taking it for the weekend. It made it more itchy and burning and hurting. So i went back on monday (becus my boss made me) OMG, so he gave me a shot and told me not to eat certain foods.
I don’t think I’ll ever go back to him again. Thank god i didn’t waste the money to see him. I don’t recommend ANYONE to see this doctor… he’s a rip off.

AWFUL. Prescribed several medications to my mom without telling her what the drug was– when I looked the drugs up, they were wide and varied… it was obvious that he was simply covering the bases, prescribing everything from an antibiotic to antifungals to cortisone. Isn’t this against the law to treat patients as lab rats?!

Been here once a few years ago for a red rash area on my arm (allergic skin reaction). I didn’t know the cause. He gave me a cortisone shot. I have bad allergies in general.
In a nutshell, this is why it did not work. Things he told me I could not eat: french fries, fried food, chips, spicy food, wasabi, seafood, sushi, canned food, frozen dinners, processed food. Things he told me I could not do: be in the sun, be around animals, be around grass/​trees/​pollen. The way he spoke to me: like a kid who wrecked his old man’s cherried out ’64 ½ mustang. Very scary man.
He also gives you actual ‘prescription’ meds directly in his office and handwrites the illegible labels himself. I like to know what I’m taking, this did not cut it for me. Office is very small and like your grandma’s living room-​ish. I recall seeing a typewriter on the receptionist table. A typewriter.
