After leaving a message with her office staff (very friendly), I promptly received a call from from Dr. Wilson. She asked about our situation and instead of trying to sell her services or the ear plugs she offers, she generously gave me tons of insights and tips for helping my father-in-law and our family cope and heal from this tragic event that has shaken our world. Unfortunately we don't live in Irvine and cannot work with Dr. Wilson directly as a speech pathologist. But, nonetheless, she was able to make an impact--offering the support she could (and didn't have to). From our conversation I could tell she is a compassionate and knowledgeable provider. I highly recommend her.

The hearing aid were fine but difficult to get service when needing a cleaning. The former manager Stephanie was always lovely and accommodating to everyone. As a senior 79.. It is a nightmare dealing with current staff. After numerous calls and visits and virtual visits I was told I was not wearing them enough so it my fault. The power dropped and I could not hear while in my drs. Office as she tried to explain my tests. When I went back to wearing my older hearing aids Phonak and Brio No problem.i I purchased The Jabari and was told it was my fault. I asked for my $ back and told it was past time. They refused to call me back. They wasted the time so I m hoping to help others to NOT buy your hearing aids from Costco. Amazon is now selling them out online. I would not purchase online Costco customer service in the hearing aid dept has gone down. They don't care. As a senior I have purchased all my hearing aids from them. Now I will have to call Jaba corp and the BBB to see if they can help me. My aids were over $1600. Please go elsewhere.

I don't know another physician that has ever done that before. I just want to sincerely thank him for taking the time to do that. I would highly recommend his office! Thank you Dr shohet!!

The provider I saw seemingly had no info on file for me, so it was like a blind appointment…read more I sent my referral docs myself as well as some medical history/records and my medical group also sent referrals and health records directly to the office but somehow none of it seemed to end up in my chart for the doctor to see. I also followed up twice with office staff prior to my appointment about the intake forms that I was told would get texted to me and both times they acted annoyed that I was asking; my second follow up a man on the phone laughed at me and said the text would be a few days ahead of the appointment but it never came. I even arrived early on purpose for my appointment and told office staff I never received the texted intake form and again they seemed annoyed. They confirmed my cell # and said they'd text them right then for me to fill out but then they had me sign just an arbitration form then almost immediately put me in a room early and I never got that text to fill out the intake forms and the provider came in early. The provider I'm sure did the best they could with zero information and health history for me, but honestly it was a wholly unproductive appointment and I 100% regret coming. I cried in my car after my appointment because I was so frustrated. I waited weeks for this appointment and missed work for this appointment and spent time preparing by sending and ordering records and it was all for nothing. My suggestion is bipass the office staff completely and go old school and bring hard copies of your referrals and any health history/medical records and make your own list of things like medications and hand them directly to your provider so they actually know info about you and why you are there.

I had a horrible cough and runny nose. I have been prescribed a couple of medications, and the second one finally worked.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Vu and Dr. Vakalaka. I feel like a new person, and I am so happy. Also, the office is beautiful and serene. The girls in the office are amazing!

I have seen at least 5 ENT doctors before so I've gotten fairly good at catching ENT red flags and…read morethis practice has by far more red flags than almost any other practice I've been to. Here's what I've observed so far over a course of 3 months: 1) I was first referred by my PCP in March and couldn't get an appointment til April. Long wait for appointments, sure ok. Minimal wait time in the waiting room tho so that's good. 2) Most of the time you call during normal business hours, no one picks up. Supposedly they are only closed for lunch from 12-1 but it would take me days of calling at 10am and 2pm to reach someone. 3) Over the last 3 months, I was only ever scheduled with the PA, Phillip. He was PHENOMENAL, helpful, kind, and a huge reason I kept coming back. He was so considerate he even made sure i got in quick so I wouldn't get charged for parking. Guess what? By my 4th visit he was "no longer with the practice". I hope he quit bc if they let him go that's pretty a bad business move on their part lol 4) The two girls at the front desk are ok but Miryam the Surgery scheduler is incredibly rude. I had been open about needing my surgery to be treated with urgency bc I wasn't sure how long I'd still be eligible for insurance. They wouldn't even schedule me until my insurance approved everything so I had to wait weeks to even schedule. Ok fine. But when my insurance actually approved the surgery she kept saying it didn't. She even had the audacity to try to blame/gaslight me and say she didn't send the referral for it earlier bc I was "confused about my insurance". I wasn't confused I just didn't know how long I'd still be eligible for! She never even made an attempt to try to schedule me even before I told her about my insurance. So I filed a complaint with my insurance for negligence and refusal of care and ALL OF A SUDDEN I'm getting contacted multiple times over the course of days (by text) saying that I was approved and there were several surgery appointments available for me to take, appointments that were even sooner than what they had told me before. I'm calling BS on that. It seriously got to a point where I had to ask her "Do you guys even want to do this surgery?" Bc it felt like I had to force them to want to take my business bc they kept pushing my appointments far out and giving me the run around 5) Mind you after 3 months and multiple appointments I haven't even seen or MET Dr. Vakkalanka at this point and she's the one who I'm supposed to trust to operate on my unconscious body and conduct a complex revision septoplasty with turbinate reduction ?? Not even her coming in to say hi hello for two seconds. Extremely scary concept to wrap my mind around. 5) This Yelp page claims they have onsite CT imaging and they do NOT, they sent me to an imaging center for that procedure. That could've been due to my insurance but it's worth mentioning. 6) Did I mention the parking isn't even free after 20 minutes so appointments are rushed to accommodate this? To put into context how poor the service here was, I contacted another ENT to take my business to and I already have an appointment scheduled in 4 days. I had my primary surgery in 2020 that apparently didn't permanently fix my deviated septum in my right nostril or enlarged turbinates blocking my left nostril and these issues have worsened over the years and every day I am abusing Vicks inhalers and Vapo Rub just to get through the day. I can only sleep on my left side but really I have no airflow through either side and I have valve collapse. And I could've been getting help sooner and breathing again but I was trying to be patient and understanding and give the benefit of doubt. Don't waste your time and energy like I did, it's not worth it!
