Darith Khay, MD

Dr. Darith Khay, MD, is the perfect physician for those like me that have low paying gov issued insurance. He was professional and quick today despite there being streams of patients. Others here have complained that the Dr. gives them too little time and the wait is too long, but how can he see everyone in a timely manner if he does not use his time efficiently? He asked me better questions that quickly got to the heart of the issue, and did not waist my time with random long winded conversation as other doctors have. I highly recommend him. It took 1.5 hours to get in and out.

Nice staff but the Dr. Khay takes forever to see my gramma. Everytime I’m there it’s from 2 – 3 hours wait whether he has a full patient or not. I just don’t get it. Wth is he doing??? How annoying. I hate bringing my grama there. And when he sees her, only 10mins. Like wtf? My mom transfer to a diff. Doc bcuz one of those reasons. Im tryna let her go to a different doc. But unfortunately she wants to stay with him bcuz he’s the only khmer doctor around and she’s been with him forever. Gaawwdd!

For some reason the doctor takes forever and I mean forever to see you. I went there on a Thursday around 9:25 and waited until 11:30 to be seen. Be prepare to wait and listen to old folks gossipping, guess they aren’t really sick… cough, cough.

I’ve been going to Dr. Khay since 1999. As well as the 2 other times they moved their offices, downtown San Jose and the first time near Tully Road.
It’s good for me because the nurses/​medical assistants knows basically any and everything that goes on about us. If I’m not there, my mom is, or Andrew. If we forget something or to be reminded to come back later for a yearly physical or shots (remember the swine flu?) they informed us quickly when it was in, and of course a first come first serve deal at the time for the shots, and we called daily about it, we got our flu shots. All three of us.
Mondays and Fridays can get hectic because of the weekend when people get sick or over the weekend or feel like they’re sick before the weekend. Office hours are open on Saturdays, but it’s at an odd hour. It’s the first 20 walk-​in patients, if you’re #21, you’re outta luck buddy, you get to return on Monday with all the others, and waiting can be deadly long.
** Their lunches are about 2 hours long depending on when the last patient is received. sometimes 12 – 2 for their lunches or sometimes at 1pm … so double check before you drive out there, I’ve done it a couple of times, including this past Thursday :(**
They do take insurance/​co-​pays, but sometimes it’s cheaper out of pocket. $ 35 doctor’s visit, unless you’re trying to accumulate the medical insurance deductibles, then have at it. :)
It’s a Cambodian doctor everyone goes too. There’s Cambodian TV to watch as well if you’re not eavesdropping on the elderlies gossiping about other people. I bring my nook to keep me company or play on my phone with the headphones on. Because there are kids that kinda just screams… for no reason at all besides the fact that maybe the wait is too long and that fear of receiving a shot from the doctor/​nurse.
Office is located right behind the Regional Hospital and where the construction is being done for the hospital. there’s a little turn to get into it that everyone misses, basically just follow the NO CONSTRUCTION PARKING sign :)

I agree with Anastasia B. Dr. Khay is very nice. Though the wait was a bit long, it was well worth it. Dr. Khay was very patient and answered all of my questions including the tons of questions I had about how he became a doctor and started his own practice. Last time I was there, he made sure I was I was taken care of by prescribing a refill of my cough medicine as my cough was starting to spike. That saved me time (so I don’t have to call in or come in).
Oh, and the nurses are really funny and friendly. :)

Very nice doctor! Explains everything and answers all questions. I am happy that they are open on Saturdays! Possible to see him the same day. Sometimes there is a long wait, but it is worth it. Very reasonable too.
Thank you! First time I saw Dr. Khay was over 4 years ago and last time was in mid 2010. Very happy with this doctor! I will always recommend!
