GI detective. To the point with bedside manner.

Excellent physician. He has done colonoscopy and endoscopy on me twice. I have received excellent services from him and his staff ! I am now getting ready to do this for the third time.

He is literally an egotistical jerk! My mom has been his patient for 20 years. Becoming a UCI professor has gotten to his ego and head. Recently he was bothered that my mom forgot to cancel a appointment with him (mind you that was 3 years ago). He came into the office and did not greet us. After my mother explained what was wrong with her, he brought up how she never canceled her last appointment which was 3 years ago! He was condescending and rude towards a patient in pain. We also explained to him that my moms surgeon nurse practitioner suggested a bacteria test and he was offended by that! He asked me if "he was a technician or what?" Then said "so you want me to do what a nurse practitioner says?" My response to him was "why is that a problem? My mom has every sign of a bacterial infection in her stomach. She's had 4 huge stomach surgeries and you've always done that test for her her. Why does someone else's suggestion an issue?". It's a type of test where you blow into a machine and measures the bacteria in the stomach. He then said "I don't have that here."  We have been his patient for 20 years, he's always possessed that machine. He ordered abdominal X-rays which were a month away. Then he told us that the breath test would probably take 2-3 months to get an appointment and that he had no control over that. Did not prescribe any pain meds or anything.  Fast forward two months later. My mom had an appointment so he can discuss the X Ray  results with us. My mom shows up and his secretary said the doctor couldn't see her because he didn't have the bacterial breath test (a simple machine you blow air into". Mind you he had the two major tests he needed to discuss the results of that. The office did not call my mother to cancel and the doctor refused to see a patient in pain and bleeding from her anus!!!!! At the X-Ray lab, the radiologist told my mom she has a hernia and doctor Saad knows this since he also has those results yet refused to see to her discuss those results and refer her elsewhere. He is also not a good listener and literally takes everything personal. Egotistical asshole! I filed a complaint against him with the medical board. He should NOT be practicing.Also; I don't understand why this man has such great viewers on other sites. He USED to be good years ago and now he's awful!!!! Lacks bedside manners. He basically stomped on my mother for not canceling an appointment 3 years ago and mind you she was in pain and cried!!!.

RUDE! Condescending!  He was recommended by my primary, but this guy is completely lacking any bedside manners.  I don't need to be friends with my Dr, but I don't want to feel like I'm imposing, or just a number. There you go, that is my review

Round Two!
Another excellent experience! So grateful to have quality preventative medical care and hope to avoid the colon cancer that killed my mom when she was 62. Get checked, it can save your life! Dr. Saad took time to talk with me after the procedure, and I really appreciate his care. Next visit reccomended in 5 years.

Thank you, Dr. Saad! My experience could not have been any better. Dr. Saad is an excellent communicator, attentive, professional in every way, knowledgeable, pleasant, and personable. My initial consultation was helpful and informative. The staff was great. The scheduling was prompt. Details were clearly communicated. I left his office feeling comfortable and confident that I was in good hands. Dr. Saad spoke with me before and after the procedure, always providing helpful information and answering all of my questions. I'm very pleased with the entire experience and give my full recommendation for Dr. Saad.
