During today's visit, the team / staff were very attentive to my situations, explained the tests that were given in the office and showed support. I loved all the framed information on each wall, wishing I had more time to see it all. Doctor Ben-Zur must have come into the room at least 4 times. Each time he checked on his team and explained to me what the next step is and why. At the end of my visit the Doctor took his time to go over all the tests, forward RX to my pharmacy, order more tests and set up a visit with him the following day (usually it takes me weeks before I can see my other doctors for follow up). Thank you Doctor Ben-Zur and the TEAM. Isaac Goren

When my dear father was in the ICU at the hospital fighting for his life, cardiac…read moreelectrophysiologist Dave T. Kim, M.D., who was called in as a cardiology consultant, approached my family and me and said to us, "There's a 95% chance that your father will die in a matter of hours" or very similar words to that effect. I felt horrified to hear that, which I perceived to be very pessimistic. I wondered why more optimistic cardiologists who believed they could save my father's life had not been consulted yet. After this encounter with Dr. Kim, I told my father's attending physician that I wanted to fire the cardiology consultants who had been called in and instead consult a cardiothoracic surgeon who believed he could save my father's life. Shortly afterward, a highly respected cardiothoracic surgeon was consulted and performed a quick surgical procedure that saved my beloved father's life and beat Dr. Kim's pessimistic odds (95% chance that my father would die within hours). I'm eternally grateful that I ignored Dr. Kim's pessimistic prognosis. I'm also eternally grateful for the real compassion and incredible skills of the outstanding, optimistic cardiothoracic surgeon who gave my father the priceless gift of many more years of life and love to share with his whole family.

Before I tell you about my experience with Marc Ehrich, M.D., please let me put it into context by…read moretelling you what led up to it. This was an experience that felt horrible and traumatic to me and that I'm afraid will haunt me for the rest of my life. When my family member was a patient in the hospital for a respiratory infection, I repeatedly begged hospital staff to suction his mucous and monitor his airway. They didn't listen. The on-call physician (substituting for his excellent primary doctor) didn't make sure the patient got the level of care he needed to keep his airway clear. So a mucous plug formed and caused respiratory arrest and then cardiopulmonary arrest. My family and I personally watched in horror as hospital staff performed CPR on my loved one. It was terrifying and traumatic beyond words. Only after the arrest did they finally transfer him to the ICU. While my family and I stood outside the ICU praying, Dr. Ehrich arrived as the cardiology consultant. He seemed to me to be angry and annoyed as he walked down the hall and into the ICU. I didn't know him, and he didn't know us. My family and I vividly remember that after walking out of the ICU, Dr. Ehrich said to me in a tone of voice that I personally perceived to be angry, cold, and arrogant, and that is still etched into my soul, "What you're doing to him is cruel. He's never going to leave the ICU" or very similar words to that effect. Let me be clear: My loved one had a legally binding advance healthcare directive, which he executed and which demanded aggressive lifesaving care. That's why I was shocked when Dr. Ehrich essentially told me I was cruel because of the aggressive lifesaving care that my loved one was receiving and had specified in his advance healthcare directive. Dr. Ehrich also didn't know that we had just spent many hours trying to prevent the cardiopulmonary arrest, had just watched the staff do CPR, and were already shattered. I was too stunned and too afraid to argue with Dr. Ehrich at that critical time. I didn't want to escalate the already traumatic situation because I was afraid that it would have given Dr. Ehrich another chance to say more words that I perceived to be angry and cruel. I was also afraid that escalating the situation might have jeopardized my loved one's care. So, to defuse the situation, all I managed to say to Dr. Ehrich was, "Thank you for your opinion." The next day, I fired Dr. Ehrich and made sure he was never called as a consultant again. And here is the most important part: Dr. Ehrich's prognosis of my loved one's impending death in the ICU turned out to be completely wrong. My loved one left that ICU, lived for many more years, and shared his love with all of us until the very end. Although I feel blessed that my loved one proved Dr. Ehrich very wrong by living for many more years, I unfortunately still carry deep within me Dr. Ehrich's unforgettable words that I personally perceived to be cruel and heartless at one of the worst moments of my life.

Dr. Ong did the procedure at West Hills Hospital; in a room staffed with 5 busy nurses, a giant monitoring screen and filled with technical equipment, designed to map, monitor and control the procedure. It was supposed to be a simpler procedure, right ventricle, I believe. But Dr. Ong saw in his mapping of my heart that additional ablations were required and did them all, insuring a perfect result. I've waited for 9 months to be sure of the result. I saw Dr Ong for my 9 month checkup , yesterday, and no flutter or fibrillation exits. He did a first class job. Dr. Ong also has well trained office staff. They know the monitoring equipment well. Zoey was my primary contact. She was competent, patient, and personable. I should add that Dr. Ong has a quality I have found in other Asian doctors...low on touchy-feeling and hand holding, but high on technical competence. Personally, I'll take the competence, my wife can hold my hand.

When she left I raised the curtain to check the view. Somehow the wide windows and trees make the freeway and onramp look attractive. While waiting, I skimmed the "Good Nutrition" brochure. When Yesenia arrived she gave me what I most want and need: information. Other professionals often just sit typing at the computer, silent. Yesenia kept me fully apprised; admitted she was consulting AI. That's okay with me, I said, as long as an intelligent mind is sorting the response. Yesenia does all those things, so when searching for a word of thanks, I could only acknowledge her as "Exceptional." You run a great office, Dr. Shenkman.

I reminded her that my insurance plans (Medicare & AARP/HealthCare - Plan F) would cover the approved charges in full.

I was not aware of the "administrative fee" prior to my visit nor was I given an Advanced Beneficiary Notice (ABN) at any time. I would not have seen Dr. Cain if I had known about the fee. I have been advised that Medicare regulations require patients to be made aware of non-covered charges in advance & that a written ABN (Advanced Beneficiary Notice) noting that the charge(s) will not be covered be given to the patient prior to being seen. I feel that Dr. Cain's "administrative" charges are unfair & patients should be protected from this type of unethical practice.

I rarely write negative reviews, but after multiple visits to Dr. Khorsandy's office with my…read more99-year-old father, I feel compelled to share our experience. The medical care may be fine, but the office management and scheduling are extremely frustrating. Nearly every appointment involves waiting well over an hour past the scheduled appointment time. As I write this review, we have been sitting in the waiting room for more than an hour beyond our appointment time, with little communication or explanation. What is most disappointing is the apparent lack of respect for patients' time--especially elderly patients. Bringing a 99-year-old man to a medical appointment is not easy, and extended waits are physically and emotionally taxing. During today's visit, multiple people in the waiting room were openly discussing and complaining about the excessive delays, suggesting this is not an isolated incident. If the office is consistently running behind, patients should be informed in advance or scheduling practices should be adjusted. Everyone understands that occasional delays happen in healthcare, but routinely keeping patients waiting for over an hour is unacceptable. I hope this feedback is taken seriously and that improvements are made to the office's scheduling and patient communication.

Additionally, while we were still with this doctor's office, they would require visits every 3 months just for medication refills which seemed like a money grab. Overall, I unfortunately don't recommend Thrive CMG.
