Yi Jia GI Medical PC — Local services in New York

As someone who is training to BECOME a doctor-stay away from this place. The number of unethical practices here absolutely shocked me to my core. I’ll be reporting them to the state.

Beyond ever explaining what the prep for a colonoscopy would be like, the many many unethical things they did included-

Trying to get me to sign the consent form BEFORE I EVER SPOKE TO THE DOCTORS.

Refusing to let me obtain my pa the okgoy report because it’s against “office policy” when they’re mandated by New York State LAW to give reports to patients.

They had me sign all consent forms AFTER THE PROCEUDRE WAS ALREADY DONE.

Lack of monitoring full vitals including 3 lead ekg and supplental oxygen during anesthesia. The anesthesiologist didn’t even ASK me what meds I’m on and I’m on quite a few that could’ve impacted sedation.

They rush you right out of recovery. I tried to ask Dr. jia a few questions and he threw out a couple buzzwords like precancerous polyps and miscrosoclic colitis, and then started BACKING OUT OF THE ROOM.

This doctor does upwards of 50 procedures a day. The recovery room has no supplental oxygen, the bathrooms are unsanitary and open to other works in the building.

Do NOT...

The staff in this office nearly killed me. After my procedure by Dr. Jia, I was forced awake by the nurse while still under anesthesia and kicked out of the exam room. I collapsed on my way to the waiting room, where my boyfriend was waiting, and I began hyperventilating and shaking. The staff refused to help me, and claimed they did not have oxygen masks. In the 30 min span, Dr. Jia (gastro), the anesthesioloist, and nurse all came to see me, said calm down and left. The nurse repeatedly said I'm just having a panic attack. My boyfriend was left alone with me while hyperventilating, shaking, and spasming. By that point, I was unable to breathe and my left arm and leg were completely numb. My boyfriend had to blow oxygen into my mouth until EMS arrived and took me to the ER, where I was treated for complications with anesthesia.

Before the procedure, I spoke with the anesthesioloist and said I have history of complications with anesthesia and that I need a pediatric dosage. He brushed me off. The office is not equipped with a recovery room, oxygen masks, or competent staff. If you don't want to die, please find yourself a...

It’s fascinating to see the polarizing reviews of this doctor, it’s like you either love him or hate him. I personally had a good experience, and I wonder if the low reviews are just because of cultural differences. Dr. Jia, like many Chinese doctors I have seen in China and in the U.S., is very efficient. They may not have the typical long Q&A, small talks, that white doctors would provide but it doesn’t mean the quality of care is lessened. In fact, I love how efficient it is. In five minutes, I got all my answers and everything scheduled, and I’m out of the door. If you are new to your condition and need a 30-minute appointment to have all the basic questions answered, being thoroughly educated, and have your feelings soothed, perhaps this office is not for you. But if you already have been seeing a specialist for years, have an overall knowledge of your condition, and just want to get your needs met efficiently, this office is perfect. Again, It’s just my personal unprofessional...
