My wife was treated by Dr. C at Huntington ER, and he inserted a stent which saved her life. In a follow-up visit he prescribed a new statin to which she had an allergic reaction and put her back in the ER. Dr. C recommended a shot, and when a staffer joked about it, we left and never went back. We since switched her to my cardiologist at Keck Medicine of USC in Arcadia. read more

I don't usually leave reviews, but after four mishandled appointments, lost test results, and a complete lack of follow-through on promised care for my elderly father, I had to speak up. The staff repeatedly gave us incorrect appointment times, made us wait for hours, and then claimed we didn't show up rather than taking accountability for losing my father's stress test results -- twice -- and then never followed through on sending him a heart monitor they said was crucial. When I called to follow up, the office manager didn't even know what I was talking about. This wasn't just inconvenient -- it was negligent. They never took accountability nor contacted us to check on him, which only reinforced how careless and uninvested they were in their patients' well-being. We've filed a formal complaint with the Medical Board of California and have been assigned an analyst for further investigation. Patients deserve care that's organized, accountable, and safe -- not chaos. If you care about your time, your health, or your loved ones, I strongly recommend finding a different cardiologist. read more

He is amazing! super nice and listens very well! He doesnt push aside my problems and believes me which is amazing considering so many other doctors dont read more

I had an appointment for 11:30 am. Showed up at 11:15 am. The questionable service started when the front desk staff kept calling for a Christina... my name is Christian. I didn't think it was for me until the fourth time they called that name, and I decided to go up and see if it was an error in them reading the name. It was. I have waited an hour and a half after my appointment time to be seen. Not sure if it's a scheduling issue or what, but I'm taking time off of work to show up for this appointment and I frankly believe this long of a wait is excessive. Doctor is very kind but I think this is a very inconsiderate amount of time to be made to wait. read more

Doctor was great. Wait times could be long and sometimes difficult to make an appointment for the day you need, but it's worth it. I felt cared about with this doctor. read more

Dr Chris has been my cardiologist for over a year now, I would say that he is one of the best cardiologist doctor out there. He is professional, kind,knowledgeable, and funny and really cares about his patients. Every time I have a doctors appointment with him, he makes me feel at ease and always takes times to answer my questions and give me good advice on my health. His staff is very professional and nice and always courteous and is willing to help. I want to give a big thank you to Erika and Erin, they both are in charge of authorization for MRIs and x-rays. Both of them went out of their way to help me get approval for my MRI and MRA's with the insurance company. They call the insurance company as well as the hospital numerous times to make sure that they receive my paperwork so that I was able to schedule an appointment for my MRIs. They also call me back numerous times to let me know what was going on. Both Erika and Erin went out of their way to really help their patients, which is very commendable and it tells you the team that Dr Chris put together at his office. I am very lucky that I found a medical office that everybody from the Dr. Chris to all his staff is willing to go out of their way to help the patients. Thank you again, Dr Chris, Erika, Erin, and all the other staff members read more

He saved my wife's life. He is highly recommended. He is extremely knowledgeable. The facility is very clean.

I really like this doctor. However, the office staff are impossible to deal with. The doctor scheduled me for a test in October 2023. The office staff keeps cancelling and rescheduling that test. It's almost February 2025 and I still have not got the test. The last time I had an office visit, I waited in the waiting room over FOUR HOURS before seeing the doctor (I arrived a little before my appointment time). This lack of care can no longer be tolerated. I called the office today and told them that I getting a new doctor because this office does not care about patients. One more thing, the doctor is the best and I wish that I could keep him, but the office staff are destroying his business. read more

I have been going to this doctor in a while and noticed the service went down tremendously bad. First, wait is too long. At one point I waited almost two hours. Went in for appt. Many times on issues I was concern about. Straw that broke the camels back is when I was diagnosed with AFib by an ER doctor.: Doctor never diagnosed me with afib after all the visitations and holter twice. I ended up in the ER two weeks ago with AFib. This doctor switch my meds but not for AFib but for something else. I decided to give up on him as my care was not address properly and looked for another doctor. I still don't have any idea what happened to the second holter test I got sometime in October. I asked for it in my last visit after the test and all I got was,"seems ok to me". So, I've had enough and decided I'm not going back. read more

I thought my heart had some problems and worried, when my dear friend knew my concerns, she immediately recommended and urged me to visit Dr.Christodoulou. I was so grateful that I listened to her! Dr. Christodoulou is an amazing doctor in many ways. He is not only professional with profound medical knowledge and experiences, he is also caring and compassionate. Most importantly, he listened to me attentively and patiently while eased my worries and stress with great communication skills. The staffs in Dr. Christodoulou's office were also caring, wonderful and wonderful, highly recommend! read more

My husband went to Huntington Memorial Hospital in May 2021. Dr. Chris watched him take a stress test. Later gave him an angiogram which showed his arteries were fine, but there appeared to be a severe regurgitation of his tricuspid valve. We ended up waiting for an MRI, because his office did not submit the request in a timely manner. No one seemed to be in a hurry (not only Dr. Chris but the place my husband went for the MRI). He wanted to confirm the diagnosis of Ebstein's Anomaly (which it turned out not to be). The whole experience taught us to advocate for him. Dr. Chris is a nice guy, but frankly he did not know what was wrong with my husband (and the help we received when my husband had shortness of breath was to get oxygen from Big 5). My husband after surgery through a different hospital system is now awaiting a heart transplant. read more

Dr Chris is a lovely doctor he cares about his patients who takes the time to listen to you no matter what the problem is he will try to figure out and help you he never makes you feel like you're dumb or crazy I recommend doctor Chris for anybody he saved my life yes there's a wait sometimes but he's well worth it remember you taking time with everybody Thank you dr. Chris for everything Lisa b read more

Chris Christodoulou, MD - My favorite doctor dr. Chris - Internal Medicine Near Me - Pasadena, California

Best dang doctor out there!!!!! Dr Chris a true caring professional. He goes above & beyond, kind, invested. He takes time, makes time, communicates. I hope he receives the accolades he deserves! read more

I can't speak for the Dr. I never had the opportunity to meet him. I had to file a formal grievance today. I was in the E.R over a week ago for palpitations and a abnormal EKG it took a week to get my authorization so I called last Friday morning as soon as they opened for a appointment , the receptionist told me the scheduler would be calling me for a appointment. I waited all day with no call back! So I called first thing Monday morning and the girl told me she forgot to put my telephone number on the chart and someone would call me back AGAIN no call back. I have worked in the medical field for 17 years. I have never left a chart without s telephone number or told a person they would get a appointment and never call them back!!so unprofessional ! I do not feel comfortable seeing a Dr. who's staff is incompetent. read more

Dr Chris is very professional and knows what he's doing. I love that he genuinely cares for his patients. His staffs were very professional, great service and wait time isn't that long. read more

My doctor gave me this referral and I had to call three times just to make an appointment. Very disappointed in my first impression of this office read more

The doctor is great. But make sure to allot 2.5-3 hours for your appointment. There will be a long wait - FOR SURE. It happens to me and my mom each time we are there. It's frustrating. Terrible appointment system!!! read more

I am very pleased with the care I received from Dr. Christodoulou. I feel he pays attention to my deepest concerns and addresses them systematically with great clinical knowledge. The office and staff are modern and up-to-date. read more

Dr. Christodoulou is by far the best cardiologist a patient could ever hope to have. He's the most intelligent physician I have ever met. His wealth of knowledge is never-ending. As is his compassion for every patient he cares for. His desire to deliver cutting-edge health care is insatiable. He finds ways to explain your diagnosis in terms that paint a picture that is so easy to comprehend, allowing the patient and family the ability to make informed decisions regarding the plan of care. He is NEVER off the clock. He has taken care of several of my family members and has never let us down. I don't know where he finds the energy to do what he does, but I thank God for his existence. This doctor is priceless. read more

Dr Christodoulou is amazing! He has been treating my grandma for the past year and she has nothing but kind things to say about her experience with him and the office. She will be a long time patient. read more

First time here. He's an amazing, friendly, and personable doctor. He's though and orders all the tests without me asking for it. I don't have to do my own research and be Dr. Google. I super impressed with this clean, well run office. read more

Friendly staff. Kindly physician with great professional knowledge who will tell you right off the bat (after a few tests) what you're looking at. You may wait a bit(like 20-25 mins) but it is well worth it. He's wonderful. PS-Free parking in the back, which is great. Make sure to park in front of Dr. Chris' signs, not another doctor in the building. read more

I would just like to take this opportunity to say that Doctor Christodoulou epitomizes the definition of compassion and humility. He listens and truly cares about his patients and I would recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent cardiologist and diagnostician. read more

Dr. Christodoulou and his staff are the best physician and staff that I've ever had the pleasure of going to. Dr. Chris is very patient and takes his time with each patient, I have never felt rushed. He's listens to everything and addresses any concerns that I have. Tina his office manager and staff are amazing. Very thorough & can always get me in for an appointment. I highly recommend Dr. Christodoulou. read more

Amazing doctor and person. Calming and caring, great wit patients...staff is amazing as well... For me, Dr Chris and his staff are heaven sent! read more

Horrible service. Employees don't care about their patients. and you have to wait FOREVER. Never mind an appointment. It'll be a one hour wait as long as you make a few complaints. If you call, you get a message saying "your call is important to us, stay on the line....la la la" The last three times I called, I waited 10 minutes for an answer. I finally just hung up. Go to another doctor. The only thing they have going for them is a nice looking office. Who cares if you don't treat patients well. There are many others. read more

Dr Chris is amazing! He literally saved my life. His office staff is awesome also they really make me feel like they have everything taken care of. I will say the wait time may be a bit long but for any GREAT doctor it's worth it!! I can see he's a very busy man and always seems to have a million things going on but he always puts his patients first. I never feel like I'm being rushed to get out of the office like some doctors. read more

Dr Chris may be a terrific Cardiologist but.... My husband ended up in the hospital and rehab for 6 weeks after a year of treatment by Dr Chris with the "VenaSeal vein closure using intravenous adhesive agent". Dr Chris kept saying all going well, even on the Monday before I called the Paramedics on Sunday. So far, the hospital and rehab bill is over $120,000.00 with more to be added. Hoping Medicare approves. read more

He saved my husband's life. How do you rate that? For two years a different cardiologist had misdiagnosed (non-diagnosed?) my husband's problem and simply prescribed huge doses of beta-blockers, watching my husband's condition deteriorate. When that "doctor" moved away my husband chose Dr. Chris because his office was close. Dr. Chris immediately diagnosed a bad valve and arranged for the proper surgery by the leading valve replacement surgeon. Nothing but up from then on. Personally, Dr. Chris is one of the most engaging people I've ever met. I will not complain about the wait time -- he spends the time needed, ignoring the standard 15-minutes-per-patient maximum, which results in delays. Bring a book or your knitting. The office staff is efficient, helpful and cheerful. If it were possible to give 100 stars, I would. read more

I've been worked with many MD's and I find Dr. Chris very knowledgeable. He is caring and compassionate and I have referred least 4 family members to him. The staff at his office are very nice. The only thing I don't like is the wait time. Despite having a set appt. time, you are usually seen by him about 1 hr. later. I still think it is worth it though as the care he provides is great and you leave his office knowing you are in good hands :) read more

Tick Tock. Tick Tock. My heart beat reminds me of my mortality. So a visit to the Cardiologist is not on my "top ten list" of fun things to do. I get worked up when I head into a doc's office. Lucky me - I have a doc who gets this. He sees past my racing pulse and white-coat anxiety to get to the "heart" (pun intended) of the matter. And he does so with his calming demeanor, great knowledge and his ability to empathize with his patients. If you're in need of a cardiologist, Dr. Chris is worth a visit! read more

Dr. Chris and his office are fantastic, had my initial visit to establish a relationship as my GP, I had several things that had been bugging me (some for months, some for years) that previous doctors were either unable or unwilling to address and Dr. Chris was not only able to understand my complaints about all of them but had substantial, effective processes and responses to address them, great staff who are knowledgeable and friendly, great use of technology not just to schedule appointments but to also display in-office test results with related medical examples and treatment histories, clean, orderly office, seemingly older patient base (he is a cardiologist after all) but felt nonetheless approachable for a 28 yr old like myself (young staff, use of tech, magazine selection, etc), great experience all around, looking forward to a long and positive medical relationship here. read more

Dr Chris is the best literary he is so professional and very understanding and kind. His assistant onrey was very charming and made my visit and my procedure go very smooth . Thanks again read more

Excellent cardiologist! Very pleasant demeanor, knowledgeable, very patient, and listens! The staff very nice and so very friendly! Would recommend this cardiologist highly. A+++++++ read more

Dr. Chris is an outstanding listener, communicator, diagnostician, and problem solver. He approaches issues evaluating risk versus benefit of a given procedure, and is a wonderfully kind man. What's more, he seems to come up with solutions to medical issues that have escaped other doctors. It's taken me years to find a cardiologist this good. I have had a number of cardiologists before him, some of them reasonably good, some of them not so good. I feel very fortunate to have found "Dr. Chris" (on another doctor's recommendation by the way - a doctor who is an electro cardiologist who I also found excellent). read more

I came here in 2012 to have lots test to have done and everyone from dr christodoulu was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.I wish I could give more stars.Dr Chris was very thorough and did not make any irrational decisions and made me feel like I had nothing to worry about .I highly recommend this cardiologist if you have been referred to one. read more

The doctors' doctor! Couldn't be happier with a doctor! I feel like Dr. Chris genuinely cares about my health outcomes and follows up when new treatment is started. I can tell his knowledge is very current and CUTTING EDGE! I feel like I'm his most important patient when we are discussing my health problems...even if it's not a cardiology issue! He is happy to address all my health concerns and even helped me lose thirty pounds and get off two medications! Staff is good and I am able to have all my diagnostic testing done at his medical practice by skilled technicians. I work in a hospital and am around plenty of physicians, everyone's feedback about Dr. Chris is positive! read more

Dr. Chris is the BEST doctor ever. I had been seeing my previous cardiologist for 12 years, and was experiencing a lot of pain. He referred me to a therapist, and had zero interest in trying to figure out what was wrong. It took me a year to get the courage to find a new doctor, and within 2 months, Dr. Chris figured out what was wrong and changed my medication. I feel better now than I have in 12 years. His staff are extremely kind, and I have never had to wait an extended amount of time for my appointment. Even if I did, I would not mind- he is THAT worth it. Twice in my life, I have been that patient who needed extra time with a doctor, and I know Dr. Chris will give every patient his full attention. read more
