Joy Meng, M.D.

I recently went to Dr. Meng regarding my concern about my sleepiness due to my Obstructive sleep apnea, and I told dr. Meng that I needed a way of staying awake and driving to school every morning; however, told me there was no solution except for constantly using my CPAP. Eventually I went back to SoCal and my parent’s doctor recommend me ask about oral medication, and when i went back to ask her about it she scold me about using this method and pressed that her method was better. Eventually, I crashed my car due to her neglect and failure to aid me. STAY AWAY FROM HER!!!

Was greeted to a nice office, friendly staff, but a major issue I would almost call malpractice, I came here looking for continued care for a neurological disorder, and was then promptly denied a refill to a medication, that if stopped suddenly can cause seizure and even death. If you have sensory processing disorder, or any other similar disorder, AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS! Also, a little side note, when I became panicked due to Dr joys attempts to force me off a med, which is essentially a death threat, as I explained above, she then told me to go to an er and get treatment. This is by no means a doctor I will ever be returning to

Dr. Meng came highly recommended by my primary care doctor, and because she is Stanford-​trained I was looking forward to seeing her. She might be great for her sleep disorder studies and for the conditions she knows about. However, my experience was that she was condescending and rude, and tried to make me feel like I was making up my symptoms. She recommended a new drug to me without acknowledging my symptoms. If I have no symptoms and it’s all in my head, then why do I need this new drug? Waste of time and co-​pay money. Never going back.

I took mom to see Dr. Meng. She had good manner and was professional. I like the fact she gave her good advice about her memory problems. Mom wouldn’t remember these advises, but I would. I give her 4 stars instead of 5, because these advises really should be written down.
The office staff also did a good job. They are responsive to my need in terms of scheduling appointment and faxing prescription order.

Tried desperately to make an appt based on the above review, but could not communicate at all with the person who answered the phone because of their lack of English skills. Seems like a great set of services according to the website, but if you can’t communicate with the staff of the office you are entrusting your health with, not a good sign.

I have chronic migraine and needed a new neurologist when I moved to San Francisco from the Midwest about 8 months ago. I found Dr. Meng on Zocdoc and liked that she specialized in migraines and sleep disorder. Dr. Meng is an angel! I see her every 6 weeks to asses my treatment. She is extremely knowledgeable, caring, and sweet. She’s also very understanding because she has had migraine problems herself. At first I was trying different medications under her guidance and she would always tell me how each medication worked, give her honest opinion, tell me all the common side effects, and ask me if this was one I wanted to try. My previous doctor used to just prescribe– but she really consults me before prescribing. After trying 4 different daily meds, she suggested I would be a good candidate for Botox. Again, she thoroughly consulted me about it. I’ve had 2 rounds of Botox so far and my migraines are reduced from 15 migraine days a month to about 6 now. I’m also off daily medication– which is amazing because each one gave me side effects but with Botox there are no side effects for me. My one complaint is that her office assistants are new and inexperienced. It can be difficult communicating with them. However, Dr. Meng always gets on the phone or calls me back when needed. She’s also very considerate about medical expenses and even changed the way she bills for my medication so that my co-​pay is lower. I highly suggest Dr. Meng!
