My father has been a patient of Dr. Wang for years, but the disorganization and persistent lack of…read morecommunication at this office are concerning. After an emergency heart procedure, my 84-year-old father waited weeks for a follow-up, only to find the hospital records sent in advance were missing. Reaching the office by phone was nearly impossible, and after another emergency hospitalization, he had to drive 30 minutes just to cancel his appointments in person. At a time when patients are most vulnerable, these gaps in communication and follow-through create unnecessary stress and raise serious concerns about patient safety. The current level of disorganization not only causes hardship for patients and their families but also undermines trust in the quality of care provided.

It's been 9 weeks and the orders are still not with the hospital. I find the staff indifferent to patients and often callous. I'm changing practices and have filed a complaint against the practice. I hate that I had to do that, but other patients need to know what level of care to expect.

With this crazy COVID-19 pandemic, I couldn't see him and had to find a great cardiothoracic surgeon to fix the problem, as we had been through this before a few years ago. I called his office, based on great online reviews, and he gratefully spoke with me, in his calm voice, and assured me that he would take great care of my son and reviewed his plan of action. So hard when a mom can't visit her son in the hospital .. and Dr. Odeh gave me his cell number, stating to call me anytime.. he even called me on his day off!! He is by far the most compassionate, caring , professional doctor we have ever had the pleasure to meet!! And a superlative human being! I know this is a long review, but Rarely does one find such a great, Approachable doctor.

The majority of the medical staff at this hospital were excellent. The ER nurses--Jessica, Karen,…read moreTiffany, Cathy, and student nurse Lorena--were attentive, kind, and actually listened. Dr. Ryan Shanannan was thorough, professional, and reassuring. On 2 South, Mae, Crystal, and Paige were exceptional--caring, knowledgeable, and clearly dedicated to their patients. Doctors Kim and Dr. C were compassionate, and the surgeon and anesthesiologist communicated clearly and confidently. Here comes the problem!!!!! Now, unfortunately, the complete opposite experience: Elliot from the ER phone line. Rude, dismissive, and completely unhelpful. I asked a straightforward question about possibly speaking with Dr. Shanannan. Instead of listening, he repeated the same irrelevant line about not giving out the doctor's schedule--which I never asked for. It was either a lack of comprehension or a lack of effort--neither is acceptable. When I asked to leave a message, I was told "we don't do that." No explanation. No alternative. Just a dead end. When I confirmed his name, he responded with attitude. When I asked his role, he refused to answer altogether--which raises serious concerns about transparency. Patients shouldn't have to question who they're speaking to when trying to get help. For someone in a frontline role at a hospital, basic communication and professionalism should be the bare minimum. Instead, the interaction felt dismissive and borderline disrespectful. It's disappointing, because one person like this can easily undermine the trust built by an otherwise excellent medical team. The hospital clearly has many outstanding professionals--Elliot is not one of them, clearly Elliot does not have human kindness.

I had no idea who to contact for my heart problem. I told a friend in Oregon and he had a friend in Oxnard, Calif. that knew of a Cardiac Surgeon. He was highly recommending Dr. Declusin, so I made an appointment to see him. My wife went with me to see the Dr. and we left feeling completely confident that he was the one we wanted to do my surgery. Just the way he talked put me at ease, so I said ,"lets go for it, the sooner the better." I don't know if he had any problems during the operation, but I sure didn't. My recovery time went without any problems and all the attending nurses or whatever they're called were outstanding proffesionals and I never wanted for anything. THANK YOU DR.
