    Absolute joke of a doctor on staff, I told him i had been to the hospital, was worried the issue…read morewas recurring; and instead of signing off on me getting tests which proved the illness last time I was there, they want to start me back from 0. Work up to a CT Scan with contrast by doing 2 other scans that cost 2000+ each. When we both know the CT Scan with contrast is what I need. Blatant medical laziness. They LOVE WASTING YOUR MONEY!!! Do not go here if you have a car that can make it to thousand oaks. Administrative staff was very kind.

    I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Takeda for a specific medication-related concern while my…read moreregular physician was out of the country. During the visit, it became clear that Dr. Takeda was unable or unwilling to help with my medication, which ultimately made the appointment unproductive for the issue I was seeking help with due to my pcp being gone for 4 weeks. What I found frustrating was that this was not communicated before the appointment or at the beginning of the appointment. Had I known that the medication could not be addressed during the visit, I could have explored other options sooner. I was later informed that other providers within the practice may have been able to assist, but this information was not provided until after significant discussion. The office staff was courteous and professional throughout the process. My concern is with the coordination of care and communication regarding medication when a primary physician is unavailable for 4 weeks. Patients should have clear guidance about available options and continuity of care, especially when appointments are scheduled for a specific purpose and half of the providers are only working 3 days a week.

    Dr McNicoll had been my parents primary care physician for many, many years and they were very…read morehappy with the care they received from him. He was there throughout my moms care back in 2013 but unfortunately she passed away. Dr. McNicoll found a spot on my dads lung during a routine visit, and ultimately was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2018 and was treated, however it came back with a vengeance a year later. My dad was hospitalized three times from the first week in September until he passed 6 weeks later and Dr. McNicoll never once went to the hospital to see him. Not once in the three separate hospital admissions. The hospital where my dad was is located directly across the street from Dr. McNicoll's office. Everyday I went to see my dad, I would ask the nurse if Dr. McNicoll had been in to see him and they always said no, I asked the attending physician if he had been in to see him and they told me he had been contacted but hasn't been in. He was my dads physician all these years and he never once went to see him. I work in healthcare and I have never known a primary care physician to not see their patient who has been admitted to the hospital. To this day, I still don't know why he never stepped across the street to see his patient who trusted him for all those years with his care.

    I love my doctor and he always listens to me when I have concerns and takes time during my…read moreappointment to listen. I never feel rushed. Nursing staff is sensitive and caring.
