Dr. Robert Tsuji, MD

Very condescending, little to no bedside manner, and very rude. I definitely would not recommend to my worst enemy. Went for a back pain consult and left defeated. Do yourself a favor and find someone else.

Poor.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Tsuji

Ok. Anyone who complains about Dr Tsuji about him being impolite are bunch of ungrateful, selfish idiots. Dr Tsuji saved me from having a lower back surgery. He is the best pain management doctor. If you want TLC, bring your mommy with you so she can hug you.

Heard he was no longer in practice, heard he left and they wouldn't say why!

Not impressed. I saw him for the 1st time in June. He asked me to email him the following week to remind him of what we discussed. I did, and another email, 2 phone calls and one voice mail later, he finally got back to me. It took 6 weeks. His email was very vague, but bottom line was he didn't feel he could help me. He referred me to other places. He is supposed to be a pain specialist. Not only do I still have chronic pain, it was painful to deal with him. I filled out pages of paperwork, I doubt they were ever read. Waste of time seeing this DR.

Today, I went to Dr Tsuji for the 1st time. I have chronic back pain. I’ve been getting steroid injections in my back for pain for 18 years. I hate taking narcotics, but I do keep a prescription on hand and use them when the pain is severe. Because I do not use 90 pills per year, Dr Tsuji actually laughed about the low amount. I explained that I use over the counter meds daily for pain. Guess when you are a senior citizen then enduring pain is to be expected. I left his office feeling degraded for not popping narcotics more often. This doctor did not suggest a different plan for pain management. It was as though I was wasting his precious time. Well, I will not make that mistake again!

I have complex back problems and a history of 7 back surgeries including a fusion. The pain was still there and more surgery not a good option. Prior to seeing Dr. Tsuji, my other spine and pain doctors had moved on to treating the pain only. I was stuck in a pain mgmt hamster wheel for years. When I switched to Dr. Tsuji, he presented options! I am happy to say I have more control of my pain now and am less reliant on pain meds. Highly recommended.

DR. Tsuji has very little social skills. He doesn't actually hold a conversation and doesn't appear to be interested in what you are saying. He does not listen to your issues-and mostly does not provide information unless you ask repeatedly or specifically. He does not return phone calls. I have never had such a bad experience with a physician. And non of this has anything to do with wanting more pain medication!!!! I did not want pain medicine.
