Andrew Y. Lo, MD

Dr. Lo tried to steal a perfectly healthy gall bladder from me. He lied and said it was riddled with stones. I was being prepped for surgery and my parents intervened and took me to a hospital in CT. The MRI's were transferred to the hospital in CT from Beth Israel and all of the doctors stood around scratching their heads, wondering why on earth Dr. Lo was going to take out my gall bladder. They took another set of MRI's in CT just in case the wrong reports were sent and again, not a single stone. I have no idea why Dr. Lo would gut and remove healthy organs from me. But if I were someone considering surgury with him, or maybe you accidentally ended up with him through the emergency room (like me) I would be very wary and get a second opinion. Oh he also regularly brought an entire classroom of students with him on his rounds. Maybe I was a guinea pig. Also, Beth Israel was filthy, understaffed and generally chaotic. more

I went to Dr. Lo to have a small benign dermatological growth removed. He was capable and professional, but his staff was inattentive, irresponsible (the receptionist "forgot" to tell anyone I was there for my appointment, resulting in several hours of wait time) and generally unhelpful. For a follow up appointment, Dr. Lo himself was over an hour late. Frustrating. more
