This review is specifically about Dr. Scott C. So at Pacific Eye Associates.<br><br>I am a dog-walker and pet-sitter. One of the dogs that I was caring for, a lovable 11 lb chihuahua was so excited when I woke up Friday morning, that before I could even sit up, he ran up the bed, jumped on my face and landed on my eye. Excruciating doesn't even begin to describe it...<br>I couldn't open my eye for almost 3 hours, and when you have trauma in one eye, it's really difficult to see out of the other one as well. A dear friend of mine came over to make an eye doctor appointment for me since I couldn't see, and she just picked the first doctor who took my insurance, and it happened to be Dr. Scott So at Pacific Eye Associates.<br><br>I know that having a dog step on your eye is kind of funny, but I was in some serious pain and distress. This man was dismissive, rude, condescending and had all the medical compassion of stinging spider. I only discovered these lovely qualities about him after he kept me waiting for close to 40 minutes. An assistant/nurse saw me sitting there and had to remind him twice that I was waiting. He finally comes in, and when I hold out my hand to shake his, he says "That's ok, I'm not going to shake your hand." At the end of the appointment, he explained that was because in case I had something viral and/or contagious, he didn't want to pick it up. However, since he didn't explain that at the time, he seemed like the rudest person on the planet. Great first impression, Dr. Douchebag. <br>I tell him what happened to me, he seemed far more amused than concerned. He determines that there is a scratch on my eye, and he wants to dilate my pupils to see if there is any internal damage and says that is going to take another half an hour. I was in pain and feeling a lil' snippy at that point, so I said, "I had no idea it was going to take this long." <br>He said, "is that ok?" and I replied, "do I have another option?" His answer to that was "You're an adult. You can do whatever you want. You can leave, it would be against medical advice, but you can go."<br>I gave him as much of an icy glare as I could with one eye that would barely open, and told him I'd stay.<br><br>You have choice of eye doctors in the city, so there is no need to choose Dr. Scott So, unless you want someone who is going to neglect you, talk down to you, and generally be an ass. This man was so rude to me that I refuse to see another doctor in his practice. I don't want anything to do with someplace that finds it ok to treat patients like that.
