While Dr. Jacoby was good, I can't say the same for his front office staff. I had an appointment…read morescheduled, and thirty minutes before the appointment, I received a voicemail stating that I had an outstanding bill and wouldn't be seen until it was paid. I understand that doctors need to be compensated for their work, but my insurance company has sent the checks. I have documentation that the checks were sent. I have explained the insurance company's procedure to the office manager and encouraged her to call the insurance company to confirm the checks were forthcoming. Giving me 30 minutes to deal with it before my appointment is unprofessional and, frankly, rude. Additionally, the office manager was not in the office and was unavailable by phone to address the issue. My appointment has been canceled, everyone is aggravated, and I need to find a new cardiologist because I refuse to deal with incompetent front office staff.

I thought I had a heart condition according to the doctors previous diagnosis that was wrong. The website says telehealth available but thats another lie.

After waiting a month for an appointment, we got a call to change the appointment to one day…read moreearlier to allow the doctor to do something undisclosed (perhaps play golf for all we know). When we arrived at our rescheduled appointment on time, we were told the doctor would not see us and that they had tried to call to cancel the day before. We checked our phones and emails - no such call EVER was made to us canceling the appointment. Complete rubbish. The voicemail we received said only "Hello, we are calling from California Cardiovascular in Pasadena regarding your appointment. You have August 13th at 12:10 pm" (of course, the day before we had confirmed the appointment by pressing "1" as instructed.) The cancellation resulted in my wife and I changing other important plans which, in turn, affected many other people in a domino effect. We are not people to him or his staff - we are most likely in my opinion simply an annoying way to get a paycheck. Shame on him and his team. We were subsequently informed that this doctor has a history of missing or being very tardy to his scheduled appointments. His lack of respect and responsibility to the people he is supposed to care for in this manner is at best unfortunate and clearly rude - and a complete "zero" in our opinion.

Thier office called me and when I picked up they hung up, so I immediately returned the call. I was listening to the phone ring for 30 minutes. Gave up. Tried again a few minutes later, 30 minutes later gave up. Tried again and after 20 minutes I got hold of a human who told me about an appointment I have been scheduled for. What if I had not persisted? They told me they don't use their patient portal because all their patients are computer illiterate. I am a programmer with 35 years of experience and I seriously doubt their clientelle are computer illiterate. Nothing is done on time ever. Communication of any sort is nearly impossible. Otherwise, their doctors are great -- some bean counter convinced them to slash their office staff to nothing. They can barely manage.

It was not!! We tried to contact management, but no one was there. We'll try again tomorrow, on Monday July 20, but we have little hope to due to the chaos that drives this place. This is in stark contrast with Cedars Sinai, my wife had a nuclear stress test on Friday July 17 and the results were available on Saturday July 18. This is a poorly run organization that does not seem to care about the patients. Test results could reveal problems that Foothill Cardiology must address immediately. Avoid this place if you care about your health! Those with geographic inclinations who named it Foothill Cardiology should have called it Death Valley Cardiology!!

Some of the staff also wears gloves when touching patients. There are some hand sanitizers available for patients to use. This place is open and available with no limited capacity. They are not sanitizing in between patients. COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination. While I was here in this establishment several days ago, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They also do not allow pets in their establishment UNLESS it's a service animal. Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is pretty big; however, they share the lot with many other establishments, so the lot can be full very easily and quickly. If that happens, park on the street. Establishment & Staff: The establishment is very neat, clean, organized, and tidy. The staff here are very friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and polite. They accept both cash and credit cards. There is no credit card minimum.

Type of care: yearly heart condition check-up and in-office examinations prior to the visit…read more Quality of care: Not satisfied. Office experience: The staff are lovely. The assistant who scanned my heart previously was very nice and remembered my condition even after more than a year. (Also, their appointments are very sparse throughout the year.) This cardiologist seemed more interested in how I was dressed than in my heart. This, among other things, made me feel very uncomfortable. I remember her making sure that I understood her comment about my clothes, saying it twice. I felt more comfortable around her assistant, who is a male, than her. I am on Medi-Cal, but she kept recommending that I change my insurance to cover some additional and very rare examinations. As if I can do that overnight. She doesn't talk to you; she just nods and says very few words. There's no opportunity to express concerns. I have been in contact with cardiologists all my life, both for myself and for other people. Everyone has their own character, and I accept that as long as it doesn't become unacceptable conduct. I did not go to my last visit, to collect all my exams because of this. And I am procrastinating exactly because of this cardiologist.
