Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very Polite
Knowledge based, very nice and informative. Expert.

Beware: Rushed and condescending
BEWARE:1) Terrible and Condescending bedside manner: While asking basic pre-surgery questions Dr. Legha was extremely condescending. While asking basic pre-surgery questions he responded to me: 'You're the type of guy to get on a plane and tell the pilot how to fly huh?' After the interaction I demanded a different surgeon to handle my case as I lost trust in Dr Legha's ability to treat his patients with respect. He clearly sees himself as superior.2) Double Billing: I had my appendix surgery at El Camino Health and paid my bill accordingly. Several months later I received a separate bill for from Sutter Health for $401 for an 'Office Visit' with Dr. Legha despite the fact that I have never stepped foot in their office.

Rushed, interrupted repeatedly...
He was rushed, didn't listen, cut me off repeatedly. He made the gall bladder surgery I was considering seem problem-free but after our appointment I discovered there's a pretty high rate of problems after surgery - sometimes temporary and sometimes permanent. He suggested I'd be 100% back to normal in 2 weeks and that was not common - more like 2 months. I would not recommend a doctor so rushed that he repeatedly cuts the patient off as they're answering the questions he's asked. I am not a talkative person but simply was trying to answer his questions. Rude and poor medical outcomes when doctors don't listen, carefully, to patients.

Conservative and mindful of the patient. Keeps in mind the overall outcome. Not in a rush to make a decision. Very concern
