Dr. David Samuel Filippi, MD

This man was horrible human being. He gaslit, manipulated and lied. Only told 1/3 of the facts. This doctor likes to actually spar (verbally) with patients and family. In a nutshell, he is a narcissist. Stay away and do not have him treat you or your loved one. YOU have a choice and so use your power.STAY away. I'd like to know why he left California. I suspect it was due to his patients spreading the news.

He is the WORST doctor ever!!! He is dismissive, gaslights, and is borderline abusive! He should have NEVER been in the medical field. He ruins patients' lives. He is supposedly a neurologist and he did EVERYTHING wrong--he didn't perform a spinal tap, do brain scans, or any type of testing. He only believes in "textbook" cases. He has absolutely ZERO capacity to think outside the box. Stay away from this man! When you become a doctor, you sign the Hippocratic oath to do no harm to a patient. Just by all these bad reviews, you can tell he's done a LOT of harm to patients! He should NEVER be a doctor!

This was the most unprofessional, ego centered human I have ever met. He wasted so much of our time and money. He shouldn't practice on any living being.

I wish I was able to leave at a ZERO rating!!! This was the worst experience ever from a medical professional my wife and I have ever had....the worst!! He was rude, demeaning, and very egotistical. His practice of giving a medical prescrition without proper diagnosis or analysis is the perfect mixture for malpractrice. I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND DR. FILIPPI!

Worst neurologist ever. He misdiagnosed me with "conversion disorder," which lead to my polyneuropathy (aka NOT CONVERSION DISORDER) to get worse as I had to find a capable, knowledgable doctor in Santa Barbara. Dr. Filipi owes me over a year of my life for misdiagnosing me. He also owes my mom a HUGE apology for accusing her of being an enabler. I hope he learns his lesson and learns not to base his diagnoses on his narrow minded judgements.

It is difficult to find a neurologist in San Luis Obispo County. I have seen Dr. Filippi for several years for MS. He is very knowledgeable but his office management is outrageous. I am consistently waiting over an hour to see him. He never acknowledges or apologizes for being late. Last visit was 2 hrs. late.

We spent one hour and 20 minutes waiting to see Fillippi. He never showed up! We re-scheduled and spent one hour waiting for him to show up. He sis not show up AGAIN! There was no communication, no phone call, no apology. I can understand that doctors have to respond to emergencies, but to not communicate with his staff or patients is unforgivable. His staff had no clue (they were too busy laughing and joking among themselves). I am appalled at his lack of respect for his patients and their time. You would do well to find someone else, i.e. find someone who cares about his patients.

Rudest man on earth.

Horrible scheduling. Very tardy. We've always waited for more than an hour in all our appointments. Worst thing is...when you call that you're on your way and will be late for like 15mins, they will cancel your appointment.

I would rate his bedside manner in the negatives. I was in his office a few years ago with my parents to have him examine my father regarding Alzheimer's. He said things like " I have not seen a patient that tested as badly as him and is not in a facility yet" in front of my father. My father was still competent at that point. He may be a smart doctor but he shows NO compassion. And yes, like the other reviews he didn't arrive at the office until after we did.
