Dr. Jatin Amin, MD

Today I went to get the results of a test CSMG ordered. I went to the office because they are not responsive. I never received the results of my test (several months). I assumed no news is good news. Pretty pathetic a heart patient does not get a call back on a test. I need a clearance for a surgery and when I talked to the front desk staff they said my insurance is no longer accepted. That aside, I asked since it was when I had the test, would the doctor clear me for a surgery. The staff, not a doctor, said no, that I had to go back to my general practitioner and go to another cardiologist. I have been waiting 4 months for this surgery and now I have 3 days to see two doctors, get a scan and get a clearance. It is not going to happen. These doctors ordered the test, and couldn't be bothered to look at it, or give me a clearance. The test was normal, a simple note saying patient is good to go would suffice. I guess money is more important than my health.

I was referred to Dr. Amin for a heart valve recheck since I was experiencing worsening shortness of breath. He never looked at me, never examined me, he sat looking at his computer while asking questions. My total time with him was approximately eight minutes. He ordered two tests that were fulfilled three months later. After I received hard-copy results, I was completely shocked. I read my appointment 'results'. Reason listed for appointment; chest pain (wrong). He listed numerous results from his full body 'examination' of me; all information was completely made up. He reported to my PCP that all tests were normal; wrong. I have the printed reports, they stated otherwise. I'm hoping others are treated better by this doctor, he did not give me care of any kind, quite the opposite. I do not recommend this doctor at all.

My experiences with Dr. Amin over the past 8 years have been very good. Life-saving good as a matter of fact. I underwent an emergency 6-vessel bypass out of town, and when I came to home, I was referred to Amin by my primary physician. The Doctors that had performed my open-heart surgery had given me a 20-percent chance to make it through the next six months, so I wasn't expecting much. As it turned out, Dr. Amin worked with me through those six months, took my EF rating from 18-Percent to 33-percent. I was ecstatic. I went from severe depression and fear to thinking I could live a normal long life. Dr. Amin moved from the Medical group that he was at, and I stayed at that group for a year to give them an honest shot. At the end of that year, I sought out Dr. Amin again, and was able to get a referral back to his care. We then worked to bring my EF from the low 30 percent into the mid 50-pecent range (Low normal). I will always seek him out for cardio issues.

This is the most rude and unethical person I have ever met. He is mean, does not listen to patients, draws conclusions without facts yells at patients where everyone can hear him. Stay away from him. He does not listen to anyone, I just made the mistake of going for a consultation I was NOT his patient. He took matters into his own hands by reporting me to dmv with no facts or records, all he did was listen to my heart, no problem there. No ekg. Ranted outside in the hall like a baby throwing a temper tantrum. Made very rude comments, among other things that happened

Dr. Amin seems fine but whatever medical insurance company you're with, if it's through Covered California, they make you pay an exorbitant amount up front and then tell you they'll reimburse you weeks afterwards when the insurance company pays them. NEVER has any hospital, physical therapy, doctor, lab, etc. EVER done this. Been to Dr. Amin's office twice and already had to front almost $500. Unethical and discriminatory. Why have insurance???
