I had the privilege of rotating with Dr. Rafii as a medical student and he is one of the most…read morecompassionate and knowledgeable doctors I've worked with! He is well loved and respected by everyone around him and he never makes his encounters feel rushed despite his busy schedule. Through my rotation with him, I've seen how even in the busiest moments of medicine, there's always room for compassion. He remembers small details about nearly every single one of his patients in an effort to make every visit a little more personalized. His sense of humor and warm personality make every encounter a little more lighthearted. I can tell patients feel genuinely seen and cared for because of that. And the number of times I've had patients share with me about how Dr. Rafii saved their lives- quite literally- and how I'm lucky to have him as my preceptor, spoke volumes about the impact he has had on his patients. Dr. Rafii created many learning opportunities for me throughout my rotation as well- he might've convinced me that the heart is the most interesting organ of the body! I learned about all facets of cardiology with him and even got the opportunity to be involved in procedures like pacemaker placement and pericardiocentesis. He was one of the most encouraging preceptors I've had, always challenging me to think through cases independently and develop my own plan before discussing them together. The way he taught cardiology made it very enjoyable to learn and even inspired me to consider it as a specialty I might pursue! I would 100% work with him again if I had the chance to. Dr. Rafii is the kind of doctor I would trust with the people I love, and the kind of doctor I hope to become one day.

Ok. Lets cut to the chase. You're Yelping cardiologists. That usually means something major is…read moreabout to go down. Whether for you or for someone you love...its time to take some action. That's where I was 2.5 years ago. A fellow co-worker of mine died at work because of a heart attack and it motivated me to examine my health. My family history is riddled with early heart disease and strokes. I had extremely high cholesterol, fatigue, chest pain, and other classic symptoms but being a young 46 year old at the time, and not overweight, I figured I was just overworked and stressed out. While that was true, Dr. Ben-Zur quickly gave me a reality check that something more was going on. He rapidly diagnosed my problem and convinced me that I needed an angiogram. That test showed that I had 2 blocked arteries at 100% and another at 95%. A triple bypass was drastically required. Throughout all of it, Dr. Ben-Zur was there supporting me and my family through the whirlwind process. As an interventionist, he didn't perform my bypass, but he helped me find a thoracic surgeon, and now Dr. Ben-Zur currently provides all of my post surgery aftercare. I owe him my life because I was on the fast track to a full on heart attack. We've formed a great health care relationship. Trying to find a cardiologist is difficult. There are so many choices. Who do you trust? Is this person knowledgeable? Are they personable? Can I depend on them with my life? Its these kinds of questions that actually prevent you from doing something because dealing with heart issues is scary. Its so easy to deny and think those chest pains are nothing and going to some random doctor in the phone book is sketchy at best. So, take these questions out of the equation and visit Dr. Ben-Zur to be certain. If you have a heart problem, he'll find it. He'll run the proper tests, you'll feel comfortable and I promise you he'll help alleviate your anxiety regarding your heart issue. Dr. Ben-Zur's team is also top notch. Incredibly personable, friendly, and always looking out for your best interest. They helped me with filing my disability claim during the recovery process. They keep me motivated to exercise and eat the right things. The office is relaxing and inviting. The walls are covered in photos and testimonies of the people who's lives Dr. Ben-Zur has saved. Take confidence that you're in the right place. Quite simply, he's the doctor you're looking for.

The next available appointment was not for another month. This level of disorganization and lack of respect for a patient's time is completely unacceptable. After waiting months to be seen, having an appointment canceled at the last minute due to poor scheduling is extremely frustrating and unprofessional.

I left the office with a few cotton balls that needed to be changed for a day or so and some expected congestion however, post-procedural pain was minimal and responded nicely with Tylenol. One week post-op and my nasal breathing is better already and improving each day. I am continuing with the nasal saline rinsing protocol and I'm very excited about the expected final results in the upcoming weeks. Thanks again to Dr. Cohen, Lupe and the entire SCSI staff for all of their expertise, care and support. The only thing that I would change is that I could've/should've done this much sooner!

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.
