Been calling since last week only to be told Dr Pande didn't give me a prescription & was told he only recommended surgery as my option.

I've called multiple times for different reasons and have left plenty of voicemails, but they…read morerarely answer their phone and never seem to call back. Days go by without any response, and I've had to go in person just to find out what's going on. It's really frustrating because a doctor's office should be accessible to their patients. I've called at different times and on different days, and it honestly feels like their phones aren't even being monitored. It shouldn't be this difficult to get in contact with your doctor's office when you need help or have questions. You should be able to get a response in a reasonable amount of time, especially when it concerns your health.

Her office is like a Beverly Hills office in that it's a beautiful office and you'll walk in looking for the Nordstrom's piano player. It's that nice and extremely clean. Trust me you'll love Dr Hsu and her great staff.

He asked me what was wrong, why I was there, and who referred me. After I provided the information he requested, he asked me to follow him to the reception area. The receptionist then told me that a referral would be submitted for a procedure. I did not understand why this procedure was necessary, and no one explained it to me. I later received the authorization letter. I have called the Dr's office so many times and no one answers the freaking phone. In addition, the staff have been very rude and extremely unhelpful. Overall, I am very disappointed with the lack of communication and professionalism. I do not recommend this doctor.

I was nervous because I hadnt had a colonoscopy in almost ten years so I was behind in having the procedure. But thanks to Dr. Shindell performing my colonoscopy in a manner that spared me of all the worry, stress and apprehension that goes along with the daunting thought of going through a not so pleasant but mandatory experiences, I weathered the storm. And a few days later i got the good news from the office receptionist Kary Guzman, who was the first to tell me, with a congratulatory tone in her voice, that my results came back favorably and that I didn't need not return for another 7 to 10 years. I told Kary she was my Angel because she lightened my cares and made my day. Thank you Dr. Shindell for taking good care of me. It's apparent to me that she genuinely cares people. Kary represents the best image of Dr. Shindell's Whittier clinic and you need 100 more like her.

Not knowing where to turn or whom to trust, thankfully a dear friend referred me to Dr. Patel. During my first appointment, Dr. Patel listened carefully to my concerns and understood that I was not only in severe pain but also nervous about being in a doctor's office. She quickly put me at rest with her compassionate and positive bedside manner. After her very thorough examination, she scheduled multiple tests. These tests identified serious but treatable GI issues, a hormonal imbalance, and a large ulcer that I was completely unaware of. Within a short time after starting treatment I was a newer better version of myself. Now, months later, I continue to improve and truly appreciate Dr. Patel for her incredible ability and willingness to address my medical issues.

Since my two visits, I've called her office with questions to her medical assistant, Precious, and I received answers from Dr. Patel within a day as well as a personal reply from her via email.
