A 3D image of my baby!! 3
Kyung B.

My Obgyn referred me to this doc and said "ignore the reviews on yelp (typical bad advice but folks, we're not talking about food or a restaurant here... We're talking about a highly skilled professional who there is only 1 of and no "sous chef" to assist with the service)... The main complaints are all about the long waits. Just take some food, water, and something to do". But she also said "I'm sending you to him because he doesn't miss a thing". Being over 35 and having suffered 2 miscarriages before, seeing a knowledgeable and skilled doctor was critical for me. So I sat playing candy crush, answered work emails, eating my sandwich, crackers, and juice. During the first appointment, I waited for about 2 hours and was seen by a imaging tech. The imagining tech was kind, thorough, and showed me everything about my baby. I have never been to a imaging tech so thorough. She took about 30 mins showing me the baby's head, extremities, all the fingers and toes, leg bones, arm bones, all 4 chambers of the heart, the size of the placenta, the length of my cervix, etc. Then the doctor, Dr. Karimi, came in and did his own imagining... He noted that my cervix was short and proceeded to do an exam. Within seconds he was able to tell me things I never knew about myself... The possible reasons why I may have had difficulty keeping the pregnancies... Etc! He spent about 15 minutes with me. I was overwhelmed by his knowledge and also saddened that I hadn't found him during my other two lost pregnancies.. Overall, the staff and him spent about 1 hour seeing me. No wonder there is a wait. Thoroughness and quality individualized care is not something that can be done in 10-15 minute visit. His office gets it. Quality over quantity.. although I'm sure other patients feel the same way as me thus his office has the quantity too. I cried quietly after my first appointment while waiting for my prescriptions in the lobby of the building. Thinking of my two lost babies and wishing I had found Dr. Karimi back then but so thankful that I finally found someone who could help me now. He must have saw me on his way to the hospital across the street. He stopped, gently tapped my arm, and asked if I was okay. He stopped. That's what got me... Here is a busy doctor, who has a waiting room full of patients, is busier than all hell even with 10+ staff members... Yet he stopped to see if there was anything else he could do for someone in need. I told him they were happy tears and he said "okay, I just want to make sure you're okay". Huh? Wha? These idealist "doing good for the sake of good" doctors exist?! Eventually, weeks later, I ended up getting a cerclage done by him. He and his staff were very attentive through the process. They scheduled me as soon as my insurance would approve.. they called me multiple times to update me and Dr. Karimi called me from his cell phone the day before the surgery to see if I had any questions. During the surgery, I heard Dr. Karimi explain why he preferred his cerclage a certain way to the RNs helping him... It was so that his patients had the best chance of keeping the babies. I think that's what it is... He explains. Doctors these days are so smart but not necessarily good teachers... They neglect to explain. They diagnose, they script you meds, and they're off to the next patient but you can tell Dr. Karimi is passionate about his field. He wants what I want... A healthy baby born to my family and he's educating me on how to best do so. So yes, it's a long wait. If you don't like it... Leave please so that my wait is that much shorter BUT if you're looking for a doctor who is knowledgeable, attentive to details, and skilled... Well, just like any good thing-- this is worth the wait.

重要的事情说三遍! 不要去看这个医生. 如果你不想产前焦虑,就不要看这个医生. 先不说排队的时间, always overbooking. 看诊不准时 .B 超 每次都要做2-3小时, 次次做阴超 有些都是学生, 每次去都有问题 不断给你开药。说一些让人焦虑的话。

I've been coming to see Dr. Edwin Yau for the past 4 years. This is a very busy place, so be…read moreprepared to spend more time than you expect in the waiting room, even with an appointment. Dr. Yau has a kind, compassionate, and gentle manner and I am always pleasantly surprised when he takes a genuine interest in my life, what I've been up to, etc. answers all my questions, and doesn't rush with anything. (Which explains why nobody gets their appointment on time. :) ) I also appreciate the other staff. One time I had painful 2nd degree burns from an accident; couldn't really go anywhere, and one of the nurse practitioners "held my hand" through text messages, advising me on wound care at home. The same thing happened another time when I had an infected spider bite. My only minor complaint is how busy they are and sometimes phone calls are not returned, or questions take an extra phone call to be addressed.

This office needs serious improvement in how it handles disability paperwork and patient…read morecommunication. My mother (an inpatient RN) was evaluated here for joint issues and was placed on two months of medical leave by her provider. However, when we requested completion of the SDI (DE 2501 Part B) form, the office refused and told us she needed to attend physical therapy first. We followed that instruction, only to have the physical therapy office clarify that they do not complete SDI certification--this must be done by the treating medical provider. When we returned, the front desk then insisted she would not qualify for disability, which is not their role to determine. Eligibility is decided by the California Employment Development Department, not administrative staff. This resulted in unnecessary delays, multiple visits, and completely avoidable confusion during a time-sensitive situation. More concerning is the lack of consistency--placing a patient on medical leave while simultaneously refusing to complete the required documentation does not make sense. Patients should not be sent back and forth or given incorrect information. If the office chooses not to complete disability forms, that policy should be clearly communicated upfront rather than shifting responsibility and providing misleading guidance. Just to be fair, the first NP encounter my mom had was pleasant and professional. But the administrative handling was disorganized and unprofessional. This process needs to be addressed.

They really do nickel and dime you for everything at this office. I came in for my physical and…read morethey charged me a copay for my visit. However, preventative care is 100% covered. When i inquired about it, the front desk person told me she didn't have me down for physical. I asked what did she have me down for? And it was a physical. So then asked if there was any other medical needs or questions i needed to ask the doctor today? and when i said no, she refunded me my copay. A week later, someone from their office called me and asked me to come in so i can discuss my blood results with a doctor. They also gave me the option to do this over the phone and SURPRISE!!!! THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME ANOTHER COPAY!!!! At my old PCP, they did not charge me a second copay for discussing my results. if you don't want to be nickeled and dimed for everything, then i suggest you look for another doctor's office. But i would say the doctor's here are actually very nice. They do listen to your concerns and i did not feel rushed during my appointment.

In my…read moreexperience, the doctor exhibited a troubling need to exert strong control over others and demonstrated minimal compassion toward a severely ill patient. Upon learning that the patient had sought emergency care at another hospital--while still honoring the scheduled appointment at this clinic--the doctor became visibly upset and subsequently refused to continue providing medical services, despite the patient attending the appointment as planned. This highly unprofessional behavior has led us to consider filing formal complaints through the appropriate channels."

I called this office in November to make an appointment as a new patient because they are the primary care doctor assigned to me on my medical plan. The earliest available appointment was a month out! And finally, after having patiently waited for a month, I checked in to my appointment and was told by front desk that they didn't take my insurance anymore! If anyone bothered to verify my info when I initially called, I would've easily called the insurance company and change the doctor and likely to get an earlier date. For a medical professional whose primary duty is to care and treat the ill, this level of careless and disregard to a patient's needs is angering to say the least! I'm glad I don't have a serious illness because otherwise I would been dead!
