    I've been coming to see Dr. Edwin Yau for the past 4 years. This is a very busy place, so be…read moreprepared to spend more time than you expect in the waiting room, even with an appointment. Dr. Yau has a kind, compassionate, and gentle manner and I am always pleasantly surprised when he takes a genuine interest in my life, what I've been up to, etc. answers all my questions, and doesn't rush with anything. (Which explains why nobody gets their appointment on time. :) ) I also appreciate the other staff. One time I had painful 2nd degree burns from an accident; couldn't really go anywhere, and one of the nurse practitioners "held my hand" through text messages, advising me on wound care at home. The same thing happened another time when I had an infected spider bite. My only minor complaint is how busy they are and sometimes phone calls are not returned, or questions take an extra phone call to be addressed.

    This office needs serious improvement in how it handles disability paperwork and patient…read morecommunication. My mother (an inpatient RN) was evaluated here for joint issues and was placed on two months of medical leave by her provider. However, when we requested completion of the SDI (DE 2501 Part B) form, the office refused and told us she needed to attend physical therapy first. We followed that instruction, only to have the physical therapy office clarify that they do not complete SDI certification--this must be done by the treating medical provider. When we returned, the front desk then insisted she would not qualify for disability, which is not their role to determine. Eligibility is decided by the California Employment Development Department, not administrative staff. This resulted in unnecessary delays, multiple visits, and completely avoidable confusion during a time-sensitive situation. More concerning is the lack of consistency--placing a patient on medical leave while simultaneously refusing to complete the required documentation does not make sense. Patients should not be sent back and forth or given incorrect information. If the office chooses not to complete disability forms, that policy should be clearly communicated upfront rather than shifting responsibility and providing misleading guidance. Just to be fair, the first NP encounter my mom had was pleasant and professional. But the administrative handling was disorganized and unprofessional. This process needs to be addressed.

    I love Dr. Kaneko. Even though she's all the way in Montebello, it's still very much worth the…read moredrive. I've done several Genova diagnostics tests through her office. The Nutri Eval and GI tests were especially eye opening and gave me a comprehensive look at my health that I would have never been able to get from the basic, standard blood tests (cholesterol, iron levels, etc) in a regular doctor's office. These tests have helped me change the way I eat and have helped me transform my health. The wait can sometimes be a bit long, but she really does take her time with you. She's down to earth and takes a balanced approach to medicine.

    I initially thought my experience with NP James Miyazaki was an isolated incident. During a…read moreprevious visit, he spent a lot of time telling stories and going off-topic, but I brushed it off because I received the referrals I needed. After that appointment, I was able to see Dr. Klein, who was a breath of fresh air. She listened carefully and helped provide clarity regarding a health concern I had been dealing with for months. At my most recent visit to follow up on the same problem, I had hoped to see Dr. Klein again but was scheduled with James Miyazaki. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The appointment felt rushed, and I did not feel that my concerns were taken seriously. When I asked about a specific test, I was told that I needed to stay off the internet and ChatGPT. I found that comment dismissive and unprofessional, especially when I was simply trying to advocate for my health and ask questions since I have been dealing with a health issue for over 6 months and different physicians who have pointed me in all sorts of directions. I left the appointment feeling unheard and frustrated. Because of this experience, I do not plan to schedule with this provider again. I do want to emphasize that this review is not a reflection of the front office staff, who have always been kind, professional, and helpful. Dr. Kaneko has also been a great physician in my experience, I wish she would come back to her practice to be honest. My concern is specifically with this provider and the way my concerns were handled during the visit.

    They really do nickel and dime you for everything at this office. I came in for my physical and…read morethey charged me a copay for my visit. However, preventative care is 100% covered. When i inquired about it, the front desk person told me she didn't have me down for physical. I asked what did she have me down for? And it was a physical. So then asked if there was any other medical needs or questions i needed to ask the doctor today? and when i said no, she refunded me my copay. A week later, someone from their office called me and asked me to come in so i can discuss my blood results with a doctor. They also gave me the option to do this over the phone and SURPRISE!!!! THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME ANOTHER COPAY!!!! At my old PCP, they did not charge me a second copay for discussing my results. if you don't want to be nickeled and dimed for everything, then i suggest you look for another doctor's office. But i would say the doctor's here are actually very nice. They do listen to your concerns and i did not feel rushed during my appointment.

    I question the authenticity of the positive reviews that initially drew me to this clinic. In my…read moreexperience, the doctor exhibited a troubling need to exert strong control over others and demonstrated minimal compassion toward a severely ill patient. Upon learning that the patient had sought emergency care at another hospital--while still honoring the scheduled appointment at this clinic--the doctor became visibly upset and subsequently refused to continue providing medical services, despite the patient attending the appointment as planned. This highly unprofessional behavior has led us to consider filing formal complaints through the appropriate channels."
