I had been a patient of Cynthia Thaik for several years. At a certain point, I developed PVC's at…read morefirst they were minor. However, after some very stressful events in life my PVCs started to rapidly rise. Overall I would say outside of dealing with PVCs Dr. Thaik was through in testing and monitoring and providing options like nutrition as a means of addressing heart health. However, once my PVCs started to rise she wanted to immediately put me on medication. I was concerned of course but also wanted to understand the root cause. Why was I suddenly experiencing these PVCs. Rather than having other means to investigate she wanted me to start medication. When I asked if we could address other factors to find the root cause she became upset and even recorded a statement to dictate and record that I was not willing to start the medication right away. Needless to say that is when I stop going here. And also, happy to say that I'm proud for trusting my gut and getting several opinions. Which eventually lead me to less than 2% PVCs without out taking one pill or any procedure. It took a Dr. the was willing to observe me while I worked on addressing several potential root causes. I was bummed because before the PVCs w/o any issues she was a good Dr. Who offered meditation, nutrition and testing as options. But the holistic aspect of her approach is limited once a concern arises.

The office never notified any of her patients even though I spoke with someone there YESTERDAY. She responded to my email this morning in such a cavalier and insulting manner I am still in shock. What kind of Dr ghosts on their patients in the middle of care like this? She brings up her old NP that left in July- even though I've known this and we've spoken about it since the NP left. This is not prioritizing patient care. Imagine waking up to an email response like this?

This is an update to my previous review and covers the 2 years since it was written…read more I have been coming to Lakeside-Regal for my physical therapy since I lost my ACL tendon in 2023, and I can't tell you how amazing they've been. They helped me through ACL reconstruction surgery and got me active again. I'm a very active person, especially for a senior (I play tennis, do karate, surf, and work out at the gym), so over the last 3 years, I've seen a lot of these wonderful people, off and on. I push myself too hard, and they help put me back together! Everyone I've worked with is very knowledgeable among the PT staff, and the front desk people are really organized. Molly is my #1 physical therapist, and she's terrific. She's supportive of my active lifestyle and always helps me understand how I can do what I want to do in the safest, healthiest way. She's like a top mechanic for my body -- she gets me back on the road! (I've also worked with Matthew, Thomas, and Arbi, and they're great too.) I'd like to shout out to the front desk staff, who are so organized and keep things running smoothly: Gen, Ivonne, and Chelsie -- thank you!

BEWARE bad billing/business practices…read more I specifically asked Lakeside before treatment whether they were in-network with my insurance plan, and the front desk told me yes. Based on that information, they collected the standard in-network co-pay at the time of my visit. Afterward, I received a bill for more than $300 and later collection notices because the visit was apparently processed as out-of-network. When I contacted the office, they did not take responsibility for the misinformation or make any meaningful effort to resolve the situation, despite the fact that their own staff charged me an in-network co-pay on the day of service. My insurance ultimately agreed to waive the charges as a courtesy, but the entire experience was stressful, time-consuming, and avoidable. Patients should be able to rely on the coverage information they are given before receiving treatment. The doctor was perfectly fine, which is why I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1, but based on the billing experience alone I would not return.

I understand that everything is transactional and there is a cost to everything but when the conversation is all about money even before addressing anything, then it's difficult to differentiate a doctor and a car salesman.

Over the past several years, Dr. Samaan's expertise, dedication, and forward-thinking approach have made a remarkable difference in my grandfather's health and quality of life. What stands out most is that Dr. Samaan truly sees the person behind the patient. He takes the time to listen, answer questions, and explain treatment options with patience and compassion. As a physician focused on longevity and cardiovascular health, he stays current on the latest research, medications, and clinical trials, always looking for ways to help his patients live healthier, longer lives. Thanks to his careful management and attention to detail, my grandfather's kidney function has improved significantly over the past three years, something we are deeply grateful for. Dr. Samaan combines exceptional medical knowledge with a down-to-earth personality that immediately puts patients and families at ease. His staff is consistently friendly, professional, and welcoming, and the office is always clean, comfortable, and well-run. We are incredibly thankful for the care Dr. Samaan has provided. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated cardiologist who genuinely cares about his patients' well-being.

Since that time, until a year ago, I never felt quite right or 100%. In October 2023, I had two heart events that put me in Holy Cross Hospital in Los Angeles.

He was able to diagnose my symptyms and what medications would help me. Since my release from the hospital, I have been in Dr. Samaan's care. The combination of prescriptions, vitamins and an active health plan, I have felt much better than I ever have. As long as I follow his direction, I am able to do things in my life that I was limited to before. His staff is courteous, professional and compassionate. Dr. Samaan is always reachable, which for someone who has a heart condition like me, is it imperative. I would never trust any other Doctor as much as I trust Dr. Samaan.
