    My experience with the surgery coordinator, Cecilia Contreras, was very disappointing…read more I contacted the office after receiving approval for my second inguinal hernia surgery authorization to understand the next steps in the process. When I originally met with the office, I was told that if I was busy, I could schedule the surgery later and that I had flexibility regarding the timing. I also experienced difficulty reaching Cecilia directly. On multiple occasions when I called the office, she was unavailable, which made it challenging to get timely information and assistance regarding my care. For that reason, I was surprised by the way I was treated during my recent phone call. Instead of receiving guidance and support, I felt blamed for not scheduling the surgery sooner. Patients may have personal, family, work, financial, or health-related reasons for postponing a procedure, and I felt those circumstances were not taken into consideration. What concerned me most was the tone of the conversation. I felt that Cecilia Contreras was rude, dismissive, unprofessional, and unnecessarily confrontational. As someone whose primary language is not English, I was doing my best to communicate and understand the process. Rather than helping clarify the situation, the conversation left me feeling uncomfortable, pressured, and discouraged from asking questions. I was told that if I planned to continue with the office, I needed to schedule the surgery, and if not, I should say so immediately. This felt more like pressure than patient care, especially considering that I had previously been told I could schedule the procedure when my circumstances allowed. Communication was often incomplete. For example, when my follow-up appointment was scheduled, I was given the date but not the time and had to ask for it separately. The call also ended abruptly without the level of courtesy and professionalism that patients should expect from a medical office. Scheduling surgery is a significant medical decision, and patients deserve to be treated with respect, professionalism, and understanding. Unfortunately, this interaction caused me to lose confidence in moving forward with this office, and I have decided to seek care elsewhere. I hope the clinic reviews how patients are treated and improves communication with future patients.

    It's been a long hard road but 5 surgeries later I am ready to write my review. In 2019 I went to…read moresee Dr. Rahim Aimaq who was given to me by my insurance for my surgery. I explained to him that I am BRCA1 positive and have grown tumors in my breast. I told him I wanted to do a prophylactic (preventative) mastectomy with nipple sparing because I did not have cancer so I wanted to save my nipples. He said okay great we will do the surgery. The next time I seen him was 1 month later on the day of my surgery. I signed my paperwork that said I was doing a mastectomy & was put under. I woke up with no nipples. I was crying & wondering why. The nurse at the hospital said she will reach out to him right away & she did. Once on the phone he refused to talk to me & didn't even come see me post operation at all. He told the nurse he will explain to me why I have no nipples when he sees me in his office in 2 weeks for my check up appointment. I was & still am devastated. I was depressed & traumatized. I couldn't even look at myself in the mirror before I got in the shower for a year. The scars were big & crooked as well. At the appointment he claimed that nipple cancer is very common therefore he removed my nipples when I did not want him to & without my permission. I was shocked & speechless. My plastic surgeon was shocked as well because he knew our plan & when he came into the room to do reconstruction during surgery he said my nipples were gone & he was confused. I underwent many surgeries & they had to make new "nipples" for me. I have also got the areola's tattooed on. It doesn't change the fact that it happened & it still effects me today. I am doing this review & crying. I am doing this review to make people aware of what Dr. Aimaq did to me. It took a long time to get up the courage. If it wasn't for my loving family & Dr. Paul Tran my plastic surgeon I don't know how I would of got through this. If I could of given zero stars I would have for this review. Thanks for listening & God Bless everyone.

    While Wallner comes across as quite professional, she lacks one iota of caring. I was referred to…read moreher after hospitalization for kidney failure following a knee replacement. The testing done in her office seem un-extra ordinary although the ridiculousness of feet dangling on a commode that pinched my ass/thigh in a meat-locker cold bathroom, I was expected to empty my bladder. The outcome was not as I'd hoped, but being the good soldier, another foley catheter was placed. Two more weeks, testing by nurses, doctor only poking in her head to give doom and gloom reports, I finally was catheter-free on a Friday. On Tuesday I wrote in portal that I was having discomfort and wanted to know if was just normal healing. After two more posts since there was no response, I finally called, but first had to get past a receptionist that was trying to blow me off... then to a nurse... at 5:30 Friday night the doctor called me back... advising to take antibiotics I had left over from knee surgery without a test - and to come in on Monday for testing. Two weeks on Keflex antibiotics, no change in symptoms. Finally a urine culture. Three bacteria's growing. But this is how I found out... I happened to check email on Saturday to discover test results in portal. Not knowing what I was looking at with the red exclamation points attached to the bacteria's I was quite concerned. Texts from CVS now made sense... a new prescription of CIPRO was waiting for me. I began - but fortunately having read the paperwork that accompanied that informed me of dangers with other drug interactions as well as dietary concerns with the medication, and of tendon ruptures taking CIPRO (!) especially that I was in PT from knee replacement. Now PT would not do many of the modalities once they were aware of the CIPRO. Note to all: Read those damn things when they're given to you! On Monday I called Wallner's and once again, getting past the receptionist to a nurse, I'd finally said my piece about how things were being handled. Wallner called me back - and this time, patient blaming me (symptoms still not relieved) that I was not emptying my bladder or drinking enough water. I'd had enough. I stopped her and set her straight. What does she do? Adds another five days of CIPRO! Still no relief of symptoms, she wants to add more CIPRO... and something for my pain. States in portal that maybe condition isn't bacteria related after all - come in for more testing. I ask in portal what she's thinking... declined both meds... Radio silence again. I am now in the hands of a new team who are genuinely curious and concerned for me and my condition. While Wallner may be good (fair?) for some, she's not someone I would ever recommend. In fact I'd say, run the other way. If you are someone who believes that throwing antibiotics at something - even when they're not working or having been tested beforehand, then she's your gal. If you want to be ignored for days, then that's troubling. If you want to see nurses with the doctor poking her head in to deliver cryptic news, then she's your person. Personally, I want someone who shows their concern, carves out time and is curious to get to the bottom of things. Wallner, in my case was surely not that doctor. Good luck with whatever is going on with you... you will need it with Wallner.

    I'm reviewing this as someone who came here for some outpatient radiology testing…read more Big thank you to Chris in Admin for being patient as he sorted through some of the paperwork I brought in. He never lost his cool even though it required multiple calls to my doctor's office. He was helpful, efficient, and thorough. And everyone who works here that I've encountered has been friendly. One of the ladies at the front desk of radiology was wonderfully proactive in checking when a technician could come and see me. Much appreciated. Biggest down side is if you park in the lot to the right of the hospital (near Renaissance Imaging), you have to walk a ways to get to the hospital entrance. And if you want validation, you may get a bit of a run around. To get my ticket validated, security referred me to Admin's front desk. Admin's front desk referred me to security and radiology to get it. When I went to radiology, they had to run to the front where security was because they ran out of validation stickers.

    My experience at Northridge Hospital Medical Center was extremely disappointing. I came to the…read moreemergency department in need of medical care and ultimately required two bags of IV fluids. While I'm grateful for the medical treatment itself, the way I was treated by portions of the nursing staff was unacceptable. Throughout my stay, I felt ignored, talked down to, and treated with a complete lack of compassion and respect. Instead of feeling cared for during a vulnerable moment, I felt like I was an inconvenience. I also personally observed a member of the nursing staff asleep at the nurses' station while I was still a patient, which raised concerns about attentiveness and patient care. Every patient deserves to be treated with dignity, professionalism, and empathy. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. I have filed or am filing formal complaints with the appropriate hospital departments and regulatory agencies so these concerns can be investigated. I sincerely hope the hospital takes these concerns seriously and works to improve how patients are treated.

    Best urgent care I have ever been to. They have such an amazing/caring staff of women and Dr. Eli…read moreGluzman is amazing he's very patient, informative, and caring and they all make you feel comfortable coming in for whatever embarrassing medical thing you might need. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes. Highly recommend this Urgent care to everyone please go here. They have a spacious parking lot or street parking. Only note is they do not take insurance it's all out of pocket but very affordable.

    Front desk and Dr. Gluzman were both kind and I really did appreciate the fact that he tested me…read morefor more than just strep (which is what I went in & was concerned about) but the pricing seemed a little much. My total was about $150 (the office visit is $75 and the influenza + covid test was an additional $70) but the tests were rapid tests you can get at CVS but hey, they don't take insurance so I don't mind that too much. ALSO keep in mind they do not take ANY insurance, I didn't know that before I came in, I just thought they had a flat fee for folks who don't have any. What I did mind was when I called back today, I needed an accommodation letter or note for my job so they have documentation that allows me to work from home and whoever answered was quite rude (a male that wasn't the receiptionist woman I had seen before and also wasn't Dr. Gluzman). The itemized receipt was also... interesting & I'm just hoping my HSA doesn't put a hold on my account because of it. What's also interesting was some of the political commentary on Biden & queer folks that seemed unnecessary (I'm a lesbian so it probably bothered me more than it would others but I'm also good at ignoring stuff like this lol) but other than that they were kind and got me in & out. Unfortunately I did test positive for COVID but at least this Dr. even thought to test me for that, the last urgent care doctor didn't even think to do that.
