My 92-year-old, active mother had been suffering from lower leg pain for several years. They…read morelooked as if they were bruised. Large dark spots located from her ankle up her side shins and calves. She had discussed this issue with several doctors for the past few years. No one could conclude what the issue was, even with tests. It was attributed to aging and was felt that there was nothing that could be done. However, one of the specialists to whom she was referred, suggested that she consult with yet a different specialist to investigate her veins. My mother was not able to connect with that referral, so she reached out to me to assist her. I scoured different sites and found Dr. Mohammed with the Renaissance Laser & Vein Institute. I read his reviews here on Yelp* and a medical website. I discussed him with my mother, and she agreed to meet with him. Upon arrival we found his staff to be pleasant and courteous. We were then led to his office where he took a look at my mother's legs and after observing and asking my mom several questions had a hypothesis as to what her issue was. He believed that the darkness came from dead blood pooling around her legs. He felt that her veins were damaged and functioning properly. He said that she had a good pulse and was healthy but her blood was not flowing properly back and that was what was causing the discoloration. He stated that this is a maternal hereditary condition. After, discussing this my mother did mention that my grandmother had a similar case in the past century, but they didn't know what it was. Fortunately, my mother has no daughters to whom to pass this. He recommended that he do four separate treatments to remove the "dead" veins in both legs. He said, that it isn't life-threatening to not do so, but if it isn't done it will surely lead to more severe pain in the future. He felt that this process could relieve most if not all of the pain but felt that the dark spots were irreversible. Considering her age, he wanted her to think about it before moving forward. Her biggest plus that this would be successful without major complications is that she was very healthy despite her age. She didn't have to think long. She said, "Let's do it!". We met again shortly thereafter to commence the procedure. Over the next several weeks of in-office operations to remove the veins from the front and rear of each leg, one at a time; she also met with another medical staff to check on her in between operations. They also had her walk immediately after each procedure and at least 30 minutes daily to continue to promote blood circulation throughout her legs. She also had to wear special medical tight leggings on the leg that was being cared for during the process. She did all of this diligently. It's been several months since this was all completed. She said that she felt improvement immediately with the pain diminishing, to now where her legs feel 100% better without pain. As a bonus, despite the doctor's feeling that the bruise-like marks were permanent, she is happy to have seen the discoloration improve dramatically. Far from being completely cleared but a vast improvement in appearance. We both recommend Dr. Mohammedzadeh. We found him to be patient, attentive, and knowledgeable. My mother said that he was skillful in the operating room, which only took about an hour each time. His staff were all friendly and kind to us. Starting with Arelly, at the front office who communicated with us diligently via phone calls, emails, and texts. The entire staff treated my mother with respect and acted as if she were their mom.

I was speaking with Jesus Acevedo at scheduling, who was very polite and helpful. My new patient intake was done by phone and an appointment was scheduled. For the sake of saving time and being able to provide this office everything in advance, I received the new patient packet from Jesus by email, had it fully typed up, signed and emailed it back to this office. I also included a copy of my Blue Shield insurance card and my driver license. An email was sent to me confirming receipt. I also provided this offer with a signed Release of Records Authorization Form so that they can have access to my medical records. My doctor's office also faxed them all of my medical records to ensure they have them in their possession. I received a confirmation from this office that they were all received. On the day of my scheduled appointment, I received a call from this office stating they need to reschedule my appointment because the doctor was not in. I agreed to have it rescheduled and the new appointment was scheduled for September 26th @ 10:15 AM in their Camarillo office, located at: 3901 Las Posas Road, Suite 16, Camarillo, CA 93010. Despite the fact that all of my records were sent to them weeks ahead of my appointment, I showed up to my appointment a few minutes before the scheduled time and was greeted by Pearl. She charged my credit card $65.00 for the copay (copies attached). She also confirmed that they had everything on file and nothing was needed from me. After sitting in the front waiting area for about 40 minutes and seeing all of the other patients go in, I asked how much longer it would be because it's been quite a while and I had to go back to work. The response was: "We are waiting for the ultrasound room to become available." I stated that I was not there for an ultrasound and they seemed completely confused. I kept waiting but was not seen. Not that it makes any difference to this office or the doctor, but I am very limited with time and my time is very valuable. After an hour, I asked again and was told I could reschedule. I drove from Westlake Village and it took me over 30 minutes in traffic each way, so rescheduling was not an option, especially because I was waiting there so long for nothing. I asked to speak to the doctor or an office manager about this, but no one seemed to care nor take the time to apologize or offer any explanation. I had to ask them to finally issue a refund back to my credit card. It is a real shame and completely unacceptable for a doctor's office to treat patients this way and have no respect for them, especially being that the appointment was set up two months in advance and it was long enough of a wait. The rudeness and unprofessionalism is just appalling.

We called and called and left messages to the anesthesiologist. NOTHING. We called back to the office to try and reschedule. The Santa Clarita office never answers the phone. Their answering service days they are out to lunch from 12-2pm. We call back after 2pm and no one answered. We called the Tarzana office to find out what happened and to reschedule. We explained the issues and Magina at the office apologized and explained that there was a miscommunication. That they would send the blood test over to our physician's office. Which by the way wasn't received. She said Rhona, the scheduler, miscommunicated.Nevertheless we were told we would get a call from here the next morning. We never got one. So, we called the Tarzana office again. Then we were greeted by a very unprofessional staff member who was not only rude but borderline racist. She made smirky remarks and hung up the phone. Wow!. So we called back and explained. They simply say, they don't know who answered the call. Why is it so hard to reschedule? Why were we mistreated and why is it so hard to get in touch with the right person? This is so not consistent with the reviews that I read. Something is very wrong here. Someone didn't do their job and someone lied. I don't like to make bad reviews. The doctor may be good but the staff needs help. This is by far the worst experience I had with a doctor's office over trying to reschedule. We had no choice but to cancel. Even if they try to talk to the staff, those staff members would still hold a grudge. You lost a patient over a simple rescheduling matter that could have prevented a whole ball of mess.
