Her office was requiring full payment for a new patient visit and allergy testing up front, before even evaluating and treating my son or running anything through our insurance.

I saw Dr. Faghih for the first time at the beginning of October. I liked her. She said she was…read moreprescribing me some new medication. Two weeks passed and I hadn't heard from the office or pharmacy so I called the office and Mario replied that there was a delay in getting the prescription. I called again and again and emailed the office. Mario said my insurance didn't approve the prescription and they need to appeal it. I asked him to call me to update me when the appeal is sent in. I never received a call. I called to follow up and emailed several times then asked Mario to leave a message for the doctor to call me and the office manager to call me. His response was I will have the prescription sent to your pharmacy. I asked him to still ask the doctor and manager to call me. Nothing. I emailed to follow up with him and he said the doctor said she doesn't get involved with insurance only medical issues. I then asked if the manager was going to call me and never received a reply. There seemed to be zero concern over my care even after I expressed that this time of year is very difficult for my breathing. It may sound like I could be a difficult person and that's why I'm writing this review but I literally have never had this happen at a doctor's office and my doctors have even said I'm such a nice person. So do with this what you will but it's very disappointing because I thought I had finally found a new allergist. NOTE: I just read another bad review in which the office responded to call and talk to the manager. I tried a few times before even seeing this other review so I'm guessing that will not help anything but it looks good on Yelp to say that.

I was referred to this doctor (Malika Gupta) by my primary care physician to better figure out a…read morerecurring allergic reaction...my face would swell up and resemble a giant balloon at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. She is located in one of the multitude of Hoag Medical buildings within a couplex in Newport. The nurses here are very nice, caring and congenial. Allergy tests were performed (the method where they put an array of tests on your back) which helped narrow down the allergies. Dr. Gupta then reviewed the allergies, explained in detail how and why allergies occur and what line of testing and treatment she would like to follow plus took time to answer all my questions. She then had me do a blood test and make a return visit to review everything. She really pinpointed what was causing my allergic reactions. Dr. Gupta instills confidence in her knowledge and abilities. She is very professional, helpful, caring and courteous; a beautiful person both inside and out.

He's very thorough. When I would ask him a question, he would close his eyes, think about it, then open them, make some notes, and give me a thoightful answer. He said I had many variables that he wanted to consider before answering. I call him Buddha because he is wise and kind. He solved another problem that I didn't really come in for, sciatica, by recommending a special form of vitamin B that is more absorbable, magnesium, and gogi berries. He wasn't trying to sell them to me. (I can get them anywhere.) Following his recommendation, in two days my sciatica was gone. Lastly, the office quoted me the price of food allergy tests beforehand ($500), which is what I came in for, and let me think about it before proceeding. I like that. With my insurance, it was only $105 for an hour's worth of his time and his recommendations. Very reasonable. I recommend him. I like his natural approach and his deep reflection before answering.

He even gave me tips on my reoccurring dermatitis around my forehead and nose even though I didn't come in for that! 100% will be coming back for anything in the future!

He even did a quick exam for my girlfriend who tagged along and called me on Sunday with the lab results. If you want the best dermatologist in OC, then look no further.

She told me I needed to leave my home because of the mold. Money was an issue with me at the time, obviously, and I was in absolute tears. Her only response was to quickly try to schedule AND CHARGE $$$$$ me for another appointment to discuss how we would deal the mold issue. No compassion at all for the situation I was in. About a month later, she sent out a letter to her patients saying she was "retiring". An ethical doctor would probably stop taking new patients if they were getting ready to retire. Why would you take on new patients if you knew you would not see them through the process of getting better? Then a couple months later she sent another email to her patients saying she wasn't going to retire, but was joining another practice. Something is just not right here. I am now seeing a functional medicine doctor in Montana that is wonderful and not money driven. A PIECE OF ADVICE FOR EVERYONE, YOU DON'T NEED TO SEE A FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE DOCTOR BASED IN OC. YOU CAN SEE MOST FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE DOCTORS VIRTUALLY AND I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND FINDING A DOCTOR OUTSIDE OF OC. The worst part is I just received a lab bill for $2500 that I never authorized almost one year after I stopped seeing her. I called her to try and help me rectify the bill and her new receptionist told me it was my problem. JUST TO CLARIFY READING HER RESPONSE. THESE ARE THE TESTS SHE RECOMMENDED AND ORDERED. NO TEST SHOULD HAVE BEEN OVER $500. SHE SENT ME TO THESE LABS. BE VERY CAREFUL OF HER "3RD PARTY CHARGES". I can understand how frustrating it is when labs send surprise charges, which is why I always recommend that patients try to find out from Quest and all other labs up front what all their charges will be. I never want anyone to experience the stress of unexpected charges. The $2500 bill was not from our office; it was from a lab where this patient chose to get testing done. The payments are handled by the lab and not by my office, so I'm sorry that I'm not able to help with 3rd party charges.

She put me on a binder to detox which was way too intense for me during that time. I could not handle the binder and had to stop taking it. I had to stop the treatment and she was not able to offer anything else. This was a waste of my time and money and was pointless. I know a lot about holistic health and natural medicine and looking back at that time in my life and healing process, that was WAY too soon to be put on a binder especially without even seeing me in person as we did a phone visit. She was happy to take my money for the appointment but it was a waste. Do not recommend. In fact, I recommend a much more gentle approach.

Additional my BP for the 5 visits were over 160/90 and they never even mentioned any concern of these dangerous readings. Mentioned it in passing with my sister who is an optometrist who demanded I call immediately. Additionally, the office double billed for the same visit so now I'm disputing the double charge. I paid the first $581 bill and then one of the same visits appear on the second bill after I reviewed the charges carefully. If I didn't review this additional $800+ bill carefully I'm sure he would just pocket!

She was in the room for less than 10 minutes. Then we get a bill for a nasal endoscopy and an outpatient 45min procedure visit. An endoscopy usually involves some form of scoping which is not what happened here. There is some definite fraudulent billing here and the office is unethical.
