I've been receiving treatment for my varicose veins for the past two months (with some delays due…read moreto prior authorizations) under the care of Dr. Maraya Altuwaijri at her Laguna Woods and Irvine clinics. Simply put, Dr. Altuwaijri has restored my legs--both aesthetically and physically--to how they were in my mid-twenties. I didn't fully realize how severe my varicose veins were until February 2021, during a venogram procedure following a botched lumbar fusion surgery. In that procedure, a neurosurgeon had placed a lumbar screw against my iliac artery (right leg). I was warned that the misplaced screw would need revision surgery, with vascular surgeons on standby to intervene if complications arose. Fast forward to October 2024: fed up with my heavy, itchy, discolored, and achy legs, I finally decided to seek treatment for my diseased veins. Late one night, I began meticulously searching my health insurance provider directory for in-network vascular specialists, cross-referencing reviews to find a doctor who truly stood out. After reading a slew of poor reviews for the first ten specialists, I widened my search radius to 20 miles--and that's when I found Dr. Altuwaijri. From my very first visit, Dr. Altuwaijri demonstrated the kind of expertise, care, and professionalism I demand from my healthcare providers. I pay top dollar for my insurance and refuse to settle for anything less than exceptional care. While online reviews can be subjective, a truly great physician will consistently receive outstanding feedback that far outweighs any isolated negative comments. Dr. Altuwaijri has exceeded all my expectations, and I am deeply grateful for the outstanding results she has achieved. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking vascular treatment.

He and his staff gave me exemplary care, and I am glad I followed my intuition, pursuing answers to what didn't seem correct to me w the other two cardiologists. I highly recommend Dr. Miyamoto. It is impossible to overstate the excellence of the care I received from him and his staff. Initially, I requested a Calcium Score Test bc of family history. The results were concerning - a thoracic aneurysm and I consulted w a cardiologist affiliated w St. Jude who ordered an echocardiogram, which was carried out at St. Jude. The results were inconclusive (I later learned) due to the tech not knowing alternate probe placement for my anatomy. The cardiologist at St. Jude was not helpful and really lacking in communication skills. I have later learned the EKG leads were likely placed incorrectly and possible old MI was not addressed in the consult- I read about in MyChart and had to send a message first before I received very unsatisfactory answers - from a Medical Assistant! I guess the cardiologist there couldn't be bothered!! All my communication w Dr. Miyamoto was w him directly. I really appreciated that. When the inconclusive results came in from the echo, I asked for alternative tests and never got a satisfactory answer from Cardiologist 1. I was told to do a stress test, which given the aneurysm diagnosis, I was uncomfortable w. I saw a second cardiologist who spent considerable time w me in my appointment and was a remarkably kind, great communicator, but I felt I still didn't have answers. Finally, I saw Dr. Miyamoto, and I am so grateful I did. He ordered the Cardiac MRI, which Mission Hospital scheduled within a few days time. The results were posted on MyChart the night before a holiday. No aneurysm was detected and the exam was essentially normal!! The next day was a holiday (office was closed) yet I received a message from Dr Miyamoto that my report was "very good" and that I could "follow up w my PCP" and didn't need the stress test or further cardiology work up but could return for care if needed. My message is if something seems unsatisfactory or just doesn't feel right w a doctor, seek further consults until you are comfortable w the provider. It is our own health that we have to guard and advocate for.
