Irene C. Szeto, MD

I, along with 3 other family members (ages 18-51) have been seeing Dr. Szeto for 5 yrs.



Pros: I have found her to be a very knowledgeable, caring and dedicated physician. She is easy to approach with concerns, uncomfortable questions, alternate treatment options, etc. She has a serene way with her exam and questions. She has a very sweet disposition and kind bed-side manner. She remembers who you are and what she treats you for. She pays attention to what you are saying and never disregards your feelings, hunches or concerns. She has the utmost respect for your opinion about the symptoms you are experiencing. She never rushes you or her diagnoses of your symptoms. She has never misdiagnosed any of us. She has always fit us in on the same day we call, when ill.



Cons: Long wait time.

Office staff can sometimes be a bit disorganized.



(I've left messages and referral requests over the phone and had the information taken down incorrectly, or misplaced. They are not at all lazy or careless; they make every effort to get it right but are sometimes hurried. I find this to be completely remedied by writing down the info. myself and giving it to the staff or mailing it in.) (Let me be clear that my actual health care records, and those of my other family members, have never been misplaced or disorganized in any way.)



Surely the wait time is due to her popularity, reputation, willingness to fit in her ill patients the same day they call, dedication to detail and quality-time spent with each individual. I feel a long wait is a small price to pay for such top-notch care.

I feel complete confidence in recommending Dr. Szeto to anyone in need of a physician.
