Takase Kouji

I went to see him with my mom. He didn’t even take us into the exam room. He called us over to the register, read my form, and started writing a prescription right there. I’m supposed to pay to see this guy? My mom then asked a question about the safety of the medication he was prescribing, and his act words to my mother were, «Shut up. She’s over 18, she’s an adult, I can see her without you.» I think he was trying to tell my mom that he doesn’t have to answer her questions. HE IS SUCH AN ASS. I looked him up after this incident and found numerous sexual harrassment cases against this guy. Please find another affordable doctor in Houston. Please do not give this jerk any business. I wish I could give him a negative star rating.

Called today. Walk ins only. Asked the person on the phone if the doctor treats flu patients. She said the doctor does not treat flu patients because they don’t have the flu test there and usually it is something else other than the flu. Since I didn’t want to be given antibiotics or anything other than antivirals for something that is virus caused, I decided not to go.

My mom had a visit with this guy today on referral from a friend and was so agitated after her visit that she insisted on having me post this negative review about him.
After having to wait for an hour, the doctor only saw my mom for a hasty 3 minutes. The first thing he said to my mom was for her to uncross her legs and sit with both feet on the floor in order to «show respect to the doctor». I’m stunned that someone would be this rude that they would demand respect from their patients. I find this a lot easier to believe having read these other comments about him now.
He ignored everything she wrote on the papers that were given to her and got testy with my mom when she said she had a question for him.
My mom is not the kind of woman that would take this treatment from somebody, so on her way out, she told the nurses who were trying to give her some medicine to take it back. There’s no way that she was going to take medicine from a person she didn’t trust.
Highly DO NOT recommend!

I was not happy with this doctor. He was nasty and mean. When you go to his office they ask you why you are there for and everybody can hear your business. They weight and take your high blood pressure and even your blood out in the open and everybody is looking at you. There is no privacy at all. He doesn’t listen to you, it only take a min to diagnose your problem and your are out of door. He doesn’t take insurance only cash and credit. He took my blood and he threw the cotton on the floor. He is so dirty. The needles are out in the open where anyone can have access to them. He is mean and will talk down at you if you let him. He doesn’t care to listen to you. Please people do not go to see him. I regret ever going there. He doesn’t respect you and he loves to argue and put you down if you let him.

I just went to this place for my mom’s allergies. We have insurance, but someone recommended this doctor to us, so we gave it a try. First impression about this place was not so great. The nurses were the only decent in their service and the only one that actually communicate with patients. They take cash or credit cards only… go figure.
We went there for the first time back during winter and her prescriptions were not right for her. So this time a round, I asked the doctor while he exams my mom since she doesnt speak much english. This guy cuts me off and tell me not to talk. Then starts going on about the shot he gave in winter would not last till spring and all those crap. The nurse shushed me, so I just shut it till he leaves the room.
When he came back in with the shot, he pointed to my face start going off on me about what he does and how busy he is. I couldnt hold it in anymore and talked back. I told him I didnt question his medical skills, I just want to ask for different meds for my mom. He said that «I have a procedure here, I’m very busy! I take care of 80 – 100 ppl a day, I have my assistants take care of the treatment.» Um… how should I know that when no one explains anything. If it was me, I would LISTEN my patients then tell them to go to the front and the nurses will help instead of being a rude prick. A few words is not gonna cost him thousands of dollars. This goes on for about ten mins and he refuses to let me talk. And keeps on repeating his stupid procedures of how the office runs and dont forget, he’s very busy.
After the in-​room argument, the nurse told us to go in the front and refuse to treat my mom. We were so mad but knew it was going to happen. But before we leave, we had to let everyone in the front knows what kind of doctor he is. He’s «so busy helping the poor, and cares for his patients» (with $ 40 office visit + treatments), he gives the patients no respect or the time of day to hear them out. He’s rude, egotistic, and looks like there’s a giant stick stuck up his @**hole. All the nurses are too afraid to talk and of course, kept on saying yes in japanese to back him up. The only good thing that came out of this is that we got our money back. Never coming to this awful place again!
This is by far, the worse experience I’ve ever had at a clinic. I pity all the nurses that are working for him; he talks to them like they’re dirt. If this guy is the last doctor on earth, I wouldn’t want to live on this planet anymore.

As far as my visit he diagnosed me with a throat infection and wrote me out a prescription for antibiotics. I approached him as he was writing it and asked if he could give me something generic (I’m a student) and one of the girls up front pretty much jumped across the front to answer my question. Why couldn’t he just answer? I dont think he likes to communicate with his patients Anyways she told me its cheap 4 $. When I got to the pharmacy it was 22 $ no big deal I knew 4 $ was too good to be true. I am feeling better so he did his job there is just something odd about the place.

I don’t know if anyone will ever read this review, but I had the worst experience at this doctor’s office. I went to Dr. Takase for a laser spot treatment on my face based on a referral. The moment I walked in I was already uneasy. The office was a little old and somewhat dirty. The nurses working behind the front desk weren’t extremely friendly or inviting either. When Dr. Takase came out and called my name I went up to the front and stood behind him, expecting him to lead me to the room I was supposed to be in. Apparently, he had told me to go to Room 1, but I didn’t hear him so I kept standing there. Then he yells and points «ROOM 1!» and a nurse also pokes her head out of the door and says I need to go to Room 1. First of all, if you are dealing with patients (they are considered customers as well), then the least you can do is turn around and talk to them face to face. Almost all doctors’ visits I’ve been on, the nurses will lead you to the room you are supposed to be in, not someone yelling or pointing for you to go to a room.
So I start going to the room and I hear him make a comment saying «I don’t perform medical treatments outside.» I’m already annoyed and want to leave. I proceed to the room and sit down. He comes in a few minutes later and starts taking my blood pressure and talks about this brand called Kanebo. I thought he was recommending this product to me so I asked him how does the ointment work and how long would I need to use it for in order for me to see results. He then responds in an annoyed tone «Wait, I’m not finished!» I’m kind of taken aback by his response and think to myself «Why the f*ck am I here?» So I let him continue and he was actually talking crap about the brand. The rest of the visit he recommends doing spot treatment instead of laser. At this point I don’t even care and just wanted to leave. However, my mom insisted on asking him about laser treatment so she goes to the room while he is with another patient. I tried to stop her but she kept walking. She came back and said he yelled at her saying he was with another patient. Not surprised.
Another weird thing about this place was that one of his other nurses who was in the room with us kept repeating everything he was saying and would say «Hai» (in Japanese it means «yes») with every other sentence he was saying.
It was a waste of $ 40 for an office visit and I will be doing my own research for another doctor. LESSON LEARNED!
