Dr. Ian Kenji Komenaka, MD

Came in for a second opinion of a lump that all could feel but wasn't being picked up on US. He was rude abrupt and stated that the results that I brought in said it was nothing so it is nothing. He tried to examine me thru my shirt and said it was nothing. I pushed for another US and he did angrily and then said its just a duct and if it is cancer it will still be there for my 6 month checkup!! DO NOT go to him!!!

If I could give him a zero star, I would. I will never visit him again, nor would I recommend him to anyone. He was arrogant and presumptuous. He dismissed my concerns and downplayed my family history for a genetic predisposition. He focused on the "facts" of commonality, rather than seeing me as an individual and recognizing my family history. I felt as if he was mocking me (and my family) and testing my intellect. I left my appointment feeling unheard and not cared for... I came to him with legitimate concerns and needed a doctor that would understand my family history and predisposition... instead, I left feeling unimportant and as if my family, the ones that died and have had preventative mastectomies, were a joke and did not pertain to my risks and concerns. I had to wait 3 months for my appt., only to be treated this way. Again, I will never go to him, nor recommend him to anyone who cares about themselves and their family.

Took a friend to Dr Komenaka today. She was referred to him by another Doctor because she had some calcifications that had developed and increased in size after previous surgery to remove breast cancer. He said he would not do surgery because it was not cancer could not say if it could turn into cancer. He was very rude. He asked her a question then interrupted her before she could finish answering. He did not give her any resolve other than she could get a second opinion in another state? He had the worst bedside manner. To bad they didn't teach him any compassion in medical school. Now what?
