Thank you yelpers! I came because of the reviews. Great English communicator, explains and…read moreeducates, great bedside manners, straight to point in what he can help with or not off of my choice since my numbers weren't bad enough for need of medication. He encourages to find coping mechanism which was really nice to hear. Most doctors don't offer even that advice. Experience (covid times/plenty vaccine supplies days): I came to get some answers/learn. He understands what sjogrens autoimmunity is and understands it can cause havoc anywhere anytime which was really nice acknowledgement. Only doctor that explained so clearly what sjogrens autoimmunity is to a real person. Everything he said was on point and I was shocked since I'm use to other doctors just either puzzled by me or spewing off book studies of what I have. Autoimmunity is a guessing game in trying to also get help. I've gone through sooo many specialists. He's the first to acknowledge outloud my situation as it relates to a real person. I assume he has patients with autoimmunity. He offers encouragement to fight to cope. If my thyroid progresses to be worse or I have other questions relating to his speciality, then defintely will be coming back to see him. Paper Work: First time patients need to bring insurance card and ID, and sign 4 papers, includes financial responsibility (normal), info (normal), medical release form (for possibilities of needing or giving info), arbitration form (those office requires this; if don't sign then will not been seen/rescheduled appt). They have you sign these forms outside of the office Entrance: Once inside the building, you can use the elevator (3ppl) and press P OR use the stairway that leads to rooftop open air (3 floors up to his office?). Parking: Free on street. Paid for the lot in front of it.

Dedicating my 1300th review to the incomparable Dr. Dorothea Spambalg and her incredible staff of…read moreYesenia, Valerie and Joanne Lamberty (retired Dietician as of January 2020), thank you so much!!! Words cannot express how thankful and grateful that am I to have such an amazing Endocrinologist on my medical team. Parking: Street metered parking along Garfield Avenue next to the Pasadena Public Library ($1.25 per hour) or you can park in the building's parking lot ($8). COVID-19 Procedures: Before your appointment starts, you will call them to notify of your arrival. The front door will then be unlocked. You will be asked the basic COVID-19 questions and given a temperature check. Afterwards, you will proceed with your medical appointment. Dr. Spambalg and team adheres to all COVID-19 practices (gloves, masks, hand sanitizer and staying 6ft apart). Side Note: Dr. Spambalg is out-of-network and so, you will be paying out of pocket for the medical visits/teleconferences, but it is worth it. The good part is that your medical insurance covers the medications. Ever since I started working with Dr. Spambalg and her staff in October 2019, both my life and health has literally and drastically changed for the better. Just when I thought I had lost all hope of ever controlling my two major, chronic medical conditions, Dr. Spambalg came to the rescue. Her expertise, knowledge, guidance and compassionate care showed me the way. She has definitely made me a firm believer that I can control my two major, chronic medical conditions. As long as you put in the work and effort, you will see the results. She will provide you guidance and advice along with the right medications (adjusted as needed based on your lab work, which also helps keep you accountable). If you need additional medical help outside her expertise, she will also refer you to them as well. All medical visits and notes will also be sent to your doctor(s) to keep in them loop. Dr. Spambalg truly cares and wants you to get better. Best of all, she is very punctual, but never rush you. She will listen and address all your medical concerns before you end the session with her. If you have any further questions or inquiries, they are just a phone call away. With Dietician Joanne Lamberty, she was also caring and compassionate. With her guidance and advice, she gave me the necessary tools that I needed to learn and understand which foods were good and bad against my two major, chronic medical conditions. She also taught me how to properly count carbs and how to log in my caloric intake via MyFitnessPal app. Even though she has retired as of January 2020, as needed, Joanne will still be a phone call away. Yesenia and Valerie are also wonderful too! Both ladies are kind and professional. Yesenia is fantastic with showing you tips and tricks on how to make injections and finger pricking less painful and scary. I was terrified at first, but now, it is a normal routine for me. Valerie is also awesome with handling all the administrative aspect (appointment reminders/setups, ensuring all medical billings goes through, medication refills and lab work sent to the appropriate labs, etc). Yesenia also shares that part of the administrative work too, but she handles more of the pre-examinations before you meet with Dr. Spambalg. Overall, I highly recommend Dr. Spambalg for all your endocrinology needs. She is truly the best of the best! Once again, thank you so much to Dr. Spambalg, Joanne Lamberty, Yesenia and Valerie for all that you do! Until our next medical appointment!

I was not notified of any changes with my appointment , and received a confirmation text the day before.

This is my brother's primary doctor so I took him here hoping he can see the doctor regarding his tremendous neck pain...turn out we waited only for rude services and can't see the doctor. Ridiculous!!! Our first experience wasn't that great.

I am one year into my diagnosis now and I know that the only reason I am doing well with it is due to her masterful practice, patient guidance and deep wisdom. However, Dr. Sohrevardi is not alone at Huntington Health and is surrounded by a staff that is just as kind, knowledgeable, compassionate and patient as she is. Everyone there is motivated by a deep desire to help their patients and to help them understand their conditions and treatments. I've never looked forward to visiting my doctor's office quite so much, but with Dr. Sohrevardi and her colleagues, I always know I am in the most capable of hands.

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.
