Dr Mishal needs to be more open to listening to his patients and not be so dismissive like others have stated. They've lost my results too like others have also mentioned. Nice guy, but Go elsewhere if you can. read more

This is gonna be a LONG RANT but hear me out I tried really hard to be okay with my visits here but last experience was what did it for me. Dr.Mishal is a good doctor as far as ordering test I needed BUT when it came time for me to ask questions I felt he was very dismissive. Found out that I wasn't ovulating . When I asked a simple question like "what can cause a woman to not ovulate?" I get an answer of "your ovaries are not working properly." UM?! OBVIOUSLY NOT. No education provided. No other explanation. Nothing. You schedule for an appointment but still wait in the waiting from between 30-45 mins even when I arrive 15 mins early (I wish I was exaggerating). What's the point of the appointment time then? Last visit I was ordered to get some lab work done. I had my blood drawn 6/22/22. I called the office 2 days later. I was told "lab results are in but the nurse is busy but you can leave a message & she'll call you back by the end of the day." --I didn't get a call back. Called again on day 3: "Oh the nurse is out today" Explained to me that even though results were in the doctor needed time to review them and they'll call me the following Monday or latest Tuesday 6/28/22.--didn't receive a call then either. It's 7/7/22 --yup, no call either. Sure no news is good news but how can I be sure? Immediately switch doctors after this. I'm not one to write a bad review but I felt I needed to voice that. Please do better in following up with your patients. I am a nurse myself & this is not how I treat my patients. read more

Since the retirement of my former gynecologist, Dr. Loy A. Pham is currently the finest in OBGYN. Because he takes his time to thoroughly explain information to patients, he demonstrates patience. Dr. Loy A. Pham verifies patients understand everything with the question "Do you have any questions for me?". During examinations, Dr. Loy A. Pham shows excellence by not being in a rush and hurrying patients. His exemplary professionalism is exemplified when a second person (female medical assistant) is also required in the room. read more

I visited Dr. Mishal because he supposedly is a highrisk doctor, while his staff was very nice, he was awful. I had just found out I was pregnant and was super excited. I am overweight, have PCOS, and have diabetes, again the reason I was seeing him is because he took highrisk pregnancies. I was making great efforts to loose weight and had good control of diabetes. I had my first visit and the first thing out of his mouth when he walked in the door was 'you need to lose weight young lady, well it's too late for that". All he did was focus on my weight for the 4 visits I saw him; the second visit he tried to listen for a heart beat, despite acknowledging that I would need an ultrasound for an accurate reading because I was only 9 weeks along and a heart beat maybe hard to detect; he proceeds to try and listen with a cheap looking doppler, while trying hear for a heart beat, he begins to say sigh and say "no, no, no" which freaked me out thinking my baby wasn't alive. He then begins to berate me and accuse me of hurting my unborn baby because I'm diabetic. He also expected me to do the work on finding a diabetes management program, even though that was his Job to do so as a "high risk" doctor. I decided to advocate for myself and asked for a referral to see an actual high risk doctor in Long Beach, not only were my sugar levels not out of control, but my baby was developing normally. When I asked Dr. Mishal for the referral, he laughed at me saying that my insurance wasn't going to cover my new obgyn and initially was refusing to give me my referral. I literally told him to put it in, and guess what? It went through. My son was born at Long Beach Memorial, a healthy full term 7 lbs baby, he is now 10 months old and very healthy. Please do not see Dr.Mishal, especially if you're a high risk pregnancy. read more

Well i came to this doctor for a second opinion about my irregular periods. I'm trying to get pregnant and did not really want to go in brith control so i was asking if there were other options and right away he told me i had pcos because i was extremely overweight. I try to explain i have been irregular for as long as i could remember. He just kept saying it's because I'm overweight even though i was not overweight a year ago. He really made me self conscious about myself and made me believe that i can never have kids. To top it off they kept sending bills to an address i don't like at even though i updated my address with them. When i call to try and pay they ask me how much i owe. Seriously they don't keep records?! Not going back here for sure ! read more

Very clean office and the receptionist with the red hair called Yesenia was so kind and gracious I felt very welcome she was very helpful would recommend this office to anyone. read more

My experience here was with Dr Mishal. Always very dismissive about my concerns as a first time mom, rude, condescending, and kicked me out of his office for refusing to induce me too soon. I ended up with a different doctor at White Memorial when my labor began naturally. So I'm glad I left! My baby is a strong healthy boy :) I do not recommend. read more

Be careful of their billing! Unfortunately it made my experience really bad that I decided to change my OBGYN. Dr.Pham was really great, but their billing company was a total MESS. EMedicalPractice us the billing company name, and it's located in florida. I Had c-section with dr.Pham on 03/16/21, paid the co-payment for dr.Mishal (which I did not see him on the day of service, no one know what it was for, since it was $48 and too much hassle asking around no one know what it was for, i paid it) and paid the co-payment for dr.Pham on the same bill with the same check. On my bank, it was posted on 09/21/2021 that They already deposited/cashed it out. On may 05/31/2022 I got another bill for service in 10/20/2021. So i called the billing company to pay it on 06/06/2022. They said that i have a previous balance of $268 that will be sent to collections if I don't pay. I told them I paid it and they said they don't know and they won't check it with the doctor regarding that balance; insisted I have to resolve it with the doctor. I called the doctor and They told me to contact the billing company regarding any payment. And it's so hard to get a hold of anyone in the doctor's office regarding the billing. It was a waste of time and energy to have to deal with this stupid billing company and doctor's office who can't communicate. No matter how awesome the doctor is; it's not worth it for me to keep getting bills I have paid and the bills stated "this is final notice before going to the collection" read more

Today is my 3rd and last time coming here. The first time they lost my test and I had to go back to get it redone, the second time they had me hooked to a machine they couldn't get to work for 2 hours until a guy came in to get it to work in less than 5 minutes, today I hand an exam for an alarming health issue and she had a bad attitude and was unkind to me. She bragged about how much experience she has in her field just because I had a few honest questions to seek understanding. I needed someone with a little more compassion when receiving bad news not someone with an attitude and being dismissive. read more

Had an appointment scheduled today, I called a month prior to verify my insurance was ok to go in, they said it was good and I would have no problems. I get to my appointment and they say I can't be seen because I need a referral. I would have appreciated if they would have let me know that the day I called to confirm. Also when I asked for my records the ladies at the front desk had an attitude about it for no reason. I am a registered nurse and I would never treat patients in that manner. Also no one greets you when you arrive. Been to this office since 2011 and I will not be coming back. read more

If I can give negative stars I would... there are so many complaints i have but too much to type.. let me give the main ones about being a patient of dr mishal. I am now 36 weeks pregnant and officially in hands of another doctor that seriously my husband and I love and regret not switching sooner.. EVERY VISIT OF MINE HERE AT DR MISHALS OFFICE I HAD A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AND THERES WAS AN ISSUE EVERYTIME NO DRAMATICS... 1. I was officially told that I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes at dr mishals office at 33 weeks into my pregnancy, but they knew since june. (which was 24 weeks into my pregnancy) they never told me for whatever reason... so I had GD for two months never knowing what was wrong. 2. My feet were beyond swollen it hurt to walk I would cry, everytime i went in to talk to him he said it was salt and I drank TOO much water.. every time I said something retaining that my hand was swollen or hurt or about feet and swelling in general it was always I drank TOO much water.. i could've had something wrong with my heart and he would say I'm drinking too much..it was ridiculous... that was huge part of my GD n I was never told anything. 3. I told him about me having a discharge once in a while that was more than unusual (tmi sorry) ..he wouldn't check all he would say it's part of pregnancy... well today my new told me it's an infection that my body is producing too much of something so I now just picked up a prescription for the vaginal infection no STD just something some womens body do. Luckily I found out because if it wasn't taken care of I could've gotten an infection in my uterus with a fever after delivery and wouldve. Been really sick.. But remember IT WAS NORMAL according to dr mishal. 4. The girls in the office ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!! staff was changed constantly because everyone sucked. Dr mishal had 9 different Nurses that I worked with in the 7 almost 8 months of me being a patient .. It was so hard to talk to someone when I wanted to find out something medically for me about my stuff ... I was always switched back-and-forth between nurses who never knew what they were talking about. 5. THE WAITING TIME! I absolutely do not know why you make appointments here when you make an appointment for a certain time and don't get seen for hour or an hour and a 1/2 later... And every time you go ask the girls up front how much longer they say ten more minutes with attitude... which wasn't the case you'd wait 30 more minutes.. Let's just say if you're thinking if going to him you'd be better off delivering at home alone with Google. read more

Doctor Pham made my visit very pleasant. After going in for a miscarriage he was very compassionate and caring, explained a miscarriage to me and was very informative. Made me feel very calm. Thank you Dr.Pham! read more

I really like my obstetrician, Dr. Devadatt Mishal at Mishal, Bender and Associates in Downey. Of course, he was in my medical group, so I was assigned to him since I originally didn't really know any of the doctors in the area a couple of years ago. But he turned out to be a great fit for me. The wait to see him once you're in the waiting room can be a little long and agonizing, but I have NEVER ever had any issues with any of the staff whatsoever. And I'm on my second go-round with a baby due at the end of August. (Keep in mind that he always on call during the day, so if he has a delivery he goes to the Downey hospital, then travels right back to this office within a fairly reasonable time.) Dr. Mishal is very courteous, but also no non-sense. He has a rather thick Indian accent, so he may be difficult for some to comprehend at times. It really shows that he cares about people and helping you take care of your baby. I am not at all embarrassed to ask him questions or tell him of all the happenings that my body experienced (is experiencing) because he assured me that they were all normal. He has good bedside manners and does not try to force his views on you. I highly suggest that you do your own research on pregnancy before you meet with ANY doctor, not just him, to find out what you should be doing on a monthly basis because not all doctors have the time to sit down with you and explain it all. I honestly wish Dr. Mishal would have "coached" me a little more, but I learned quickly that it was best to tell him, "Okay this month I'm going to a childbirth education class... this month I'm trying to keep exercising, but is this exercise okay?" If you expect a doctor to tell you what you should be doing, how you should be eating, exercising, and shopping and setting up the nursery for your baby, then Dr. Mishal simply is not the doctor for you. He'll give you tips after you ask, but it's mostly like he assumes that you have a support system helping you along the way. Which leads me to another suggestion... FIND A GREAT SUPPORT SYSTEM that will help you with your birth plan, your monthly checklist, and all the jillion things that you need to do to prepare for your sweet bundle of joy and unconditional love! At times I felt like I didn't know what I was doing at all being a first-time mother, but if you have any hesitations, just write your questions down ahead of time and ask Dr. Mishal when you get there. OR... call his nurse. She is also bilingual (I think Dr. Mishal is at least bilingual, if not trilingual) and very efficient at what she does. If you are able to get in to see him, I recommend Dr. Mishal, OB/GYN. Review #235 read more

Seeing Dr. Mishal has to be one of the worst experiences I had. I went to see him after I had miscarried and he made disgusting jokes asking if I took my fetus out of the toilet and kept it. He said this because apparently "a lot of women like to keep it." Throughout our entire encounter he had a disgusting smile on his face and continued to make gross remarks. All I could do was sit there vulnerable and in shock. My mom was in the room with me and began screaming at him for this. He then told me he was refusing to treat me because my mom was acting like she was doctor. I already reported him to Medi-cal. No one should go through this after a traumatic experience. read more

Wish I could give this office a zero. This office is disgusting. Not clean at all. The staff is not helpful and very rude. Even though you have an appointment and show up early, you are left waiting. This has not just happened one time, it has happened every time I have been here. The doctor and staff do not knock prior to entering a room. There are no privacy curtains to shield you from other people passing in the hall. Once you are in the room, you still have to wait a bit before the doctor comes in. Dr. Pham at times seems okay...and at other times he gives me the creeps. Honestly, avoid this office if possible. I'm unfortunately stuck due to the late stages of pregnancy. I will not be using this office once I deliver for any services. Horrible! read more

I have the worst experience every time I call or go into that office. The nurses are lazy and rude. I have only gone in with an appointment however, I usually wait 45 minutes to an hour just so Dr. Truong can talk AT me for 5 minutes. The last time I went in they completely forgot about me. I complained directly to Dr. Truong and all she did was defend her staff and ask me the dates and times of my complaints like I was on trial! Nothing about this office works excellently or efficiently especially the Drs!!! By the way for those that can't get a hold of the office the new number is 562-869-4579. But it doesn't matter because I never once have received a call back. read more

The place is so dirty. The carpet in the waiting area is full of stains; it looks like a poor night club carpet. For a medical facility hygiene should be a priority. Please, paint the walls! read more

I have been coming here since 2016 to Dr.Pham for my gynecologist appointments and never had an issue. It's been the last 2 years that he has rescheduled me and has came late to his own appointment. I didn't mind at first but then it would be a constant thing. Today I came in on my rescheduled appointment because Dr.Pham cancelled on me. My appointment was at 9:30am and he still wasn't there at 10:20am and I was his first patient of the day. When I asked the front desk if he was close by they replied that there isn't telling what time he would get there as if it's something he always does. I wouldn't recommend coming here unless your okay waiting 1hr 30 to be seen even with an appointment. read more

I've worked with many different Drs for the last 5 years and recognize a good one when I see one. Unfortunately, Dr. Mishal wasn't one of them. Prior to my appointment, I had read all of his bad reviews but opted to give him the benefit of a doubt since my insurance assigned him to me for a gynecology consult. Sadly, after my appointment, I agree with the negative reviews. Despite me arriving on time to my appointment, I waited 45 minutes In the waiting area/lobby and another 10 min when taken to a back room. Still, I had hopes the actual visit with Dr would go well. Not only did he rush my visit (literally only 6 min), he had an unpleasant demeanor. He wouldn't give me a chance to finish a sentence before he voiced his opinion and on top of that when he left the room he ddnt bother to ask if I had any questions or concerns. Needless to say, I will look for another gynecologist. It saddens me how people (Dr's) choose medical professions in which patient's rely on them for diagnostic and treatment purposes, yet they show no interest in their patient's. How can I possibly trust them with my health related issues? Luckily, I was able to voice my concerns that Dr. Mishal failed to address to a Dr colleague of mine for the time being until I find another gynecologist.....phew. As for the rest of the staff.... no comment. I'm not even going to bother. Just keep in mind they are not NURSES, they are MAs (medical assistants). Some of the reviews I've read, referred to them as nurses. And not that all nurses are pleasant =| but as a nurse :) I wouldn't want to be mistaken for one of them. I hope this info is helpful! read more

Today was my first time seeing ob/gyn Dr Loy Pham and he was the best. Super friendly and made me feel at ease and comfortable. His assistant Jessica was also amazing. Super friendly and attentive. I will definitely be keeping him as my ob/gyn and recommending him. read more

Stay away if possible. I'm trying to find one good thing to say about this office and Dr Truong, but I just cant. This is my experience: The wait time is horrible, even when you have an appointment, be prepared to wait at least 45 minutes to be seen each time... and this is not the worst thing about Dr Truong office. The two receptionists are incompetent. They really will say anything just to get you out of the office. I was told by one of the girl that she would call me back after they scheduled me for an appointment at the ultrasound office, and they never call. After waiting a week later, I checked directly with the ultrasound office and of course, I was already scheduled but noone notified me. This happened more than once. Dr. Truong, if you're expecting an OBGYN that care about your pregnancy and not treat you like one of the names on her spreadsheet, please find another OBGYN. Dr. Truong.. how do I put this nicely.. sucks! she's forgetful, she would tell you one thing and the next appointment would ask why you did this why you did that when she specifically told me to that at the last appointment. My husband and I would just stared at each other and be like... SERIOUSLY lady?!! At our first appointment, we basically were in for like 5 minutes after waiting for like an hour. She didn't even care to do a simple ultra sound for us until we asked her to.. All she did was push some blood test paper to us and tell us to come back in a month.. um wtf? At every appointments, she basically rushed everything, doesn't provide any useful information, just generic stuff that you can just google online. She just wants to push you out as fast as she can so she can see her next patient. So after two months with this BS, we decided to switch insurance and OBGYN. We called the office to tell them we switched provider and came to get our medical records. A month later, we got a call from the receptionist reminding us for an upcoming appointment that we DID NOT scheduled.. like wth? we came to see you, we told you we won't be coming back, we got our medical records.. hint hint.. We don't want to have anything to do with you so stop scheduling us for any more future appointments! .. Just don't do it! read more

Dr. Bender is nice.. I felt sort of rushed when he was explaining my fibroids.. office staff is horrible! Been hung up on multiple times waiting on hold.. and they take forever to call you back. Wait time is horrible..Glad my insurance changed back to a ppo! Now to be fair.. The last time I was there was August 2019.. read more

I just got a bill for $153 and i cant for the life of me figure out wtf this is for when this Doctor didn't do anything ? I paid a $35 copay for both visits, never got an ultrasound, never got any straight answers. I got bloodwork done but i paid Quest for that and this place couldnt even successfully fax the results to my new Doctor so i had to get the bloodwork done again! This place just wants your money. They even spelled my name wrong on the bill. What a JOKE. Even when i think im past this nighmare they still come back to bite me in the a**. Negative 100 stars. Eff this place. read more

Unfortunately the ladies at the front desk are the worst part of this facility. When you call they are very rude and I've been hung up on multiple times. Their attitude is horrible especially when working at a obgyn office and dealing with pregnancies and women check ups. If you are really needing an OBGYN DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. I've talked to multiple people who have had the same experience if not worse. Shame on these ladies. read more

Dr Mishal is the most unprofessional "doctor" I've ever come across. Do not come here unless you want to be treated like crap.

Currently sitting here in the waiting room writing this. This is my 4th appointment here and I've had enough with the wait time. There is really no point in making an appointment or trying to get here on time. My last appointment we waited 40 min to get into the room then waited another 30 min in the room. Now today I have an ultrasound appointment which they required me to drink 32oz of water an hour prior. My appointment was at 415 I got here at 355 (to check in cause I knew I would be waiting) and it is already 536 and I am still waiting!!! They said the ultrasounds were backed up and i had 4 people ahead of me ! How do you expect a pregnant woman to hold her full bladder for almost 2 hours!? I love my Dr. Dr truong but this is so ridiculous. I don't understand how they could be this backed up just to do ultrasounds. Word of advice to moms that have to drink the 32oz of water: drink it when you get here because you will have plenty of time to... read more

Dr. Pham is the greatest OB ever!!! I've given birth 3 times once as a surrogate to twins and twice with my own. His staff and him take a very good care of you. Thank you Dr. Pham for everything you have done for my family and I. read more

I loved my experience at this doctor. This review is long overdue. I never waited long and loved that I felt well taken care of. When it came down to delivery I had Dr. Pham and he was AMAZING!! Hands down he made labor so easy for me like literally, it was a breeze. I don't want any more kids, but if I did I want Dr. Pham again! Not to mention, he actually has a sense of humor and had me laughing during labor. Love that man! read more

5 stars for Dr Loy Pham. 3 stars for the wait time. 4 stars for the girls on the front. Setting up an appointment means waiting for about 30 minutes to actually see the doctor. So plan accordingly. I wanted a woman OB GYN since I didn't want a man going down there poking around and whatnot but I'm glad I chose Dr Loy. Dr Loy is very professional and he makes sure to get you comfortable and feel at ease. He is very comforting and makes sure to explain everything to you so you understand what's going on and why a surgery is needed if he finds any abnormality. As for me, surgery went well. Back on my feet within 3 days, and even though I pushed my body too hard, recovery was farely fast. Won't trade Dr Loy for anyone else. read more

Dr Pham has been mg doctor for 4 pregnancies! 2 C sections 2 V Births. He also did my tubal ligation and I was made to feel comfortable every time I met with him. For my last pregnancy my insurance had sent me to another doctor and after 5 months I had enough. I really tried giving my other doctor a chance but my visits were 5 minutes and I never got answers to my questions. So I decided to go back to Dr Pham, and I'm glad I did! Even my fiancé loved the difference in our experience with Dr Pham! He asks every visit if I have any questions or concerns and would take his time explaining the procedures to both my fiancé and myself! I highly recommend Dr Pham and his office staff have always been kind and extremely helpful especially when my insurance tried switching my dr my last 2 weeks of pregnancy. Thank you Dr Pham for giving us the best experience! read more

FIVE stars for Dr. Pham. He is a-m-a-z-I-n-g! He has been my doctor for 8 years and he delivered both of my kids. He is patient, compassionate, caring and very thorough. He is very personable and always laughs. I can't say enough good things about him. Minus one star because wait times in the office are horrendous 95% of the time. They book about 10 people for the same time and since the doctor doesn't rush with his patients, the wait time absolutely stinks, usually between 1-2+ hours. read more

PATIENTS BEWARE! I saw Dr. Mishal and was sexually violated. It was rather strange being that there was NOT nurse in the room and he continuously groped my breasts disguising fit as a breast exam (I was under the impression that it was protocol but realized it wasn't when he stopped as soon as a nurse came to assist him). I consulted with other physicians and explained the entire visit with them to determine that this man had violated me. A complaint has been filed with the medical board to take further action. If you have seen this man for an appointment and have experienced the same... PLEASE report to the medical board! This man is a disgusting perpetrator and his license should be revoked!!!! read more

I think the front staff do not know how to use a phone. Every time I call in, they hang up on me. How difficult is it to not hang up on someone?? Pretty sure these ladies on on their cell phones and lack the proper skills to be in an office setting. They ask for information to rush me off the phone without giving me time to ask the questions I had in the first place. It sounds like the staff needs to be trained on good customer service. read more

Extreme pleased with Dr. Mishal & everyone I encountered at office. I was a patient 20 yrs. ago. Long wait times. Wow what a difference in 2018. Been 4 times & wait was 20 to 30 min. - acceptable for drs. offices. Need to upgrade waiting room decor. I required surgery. Inez, surgery coordinator, overheard me from her office say I was uncomfortable. Both Dr. M & Inez got me scheduled ASAP. Dr. M was patient & took time to explained all aspects of surgery etc. Results from my gyn surgery are excellent. Five stars for me read more

My fiance went into the office and requested a copy of her medical file due to her moving out of state. The medical assistants at the office said that they charge $5 per page. When asked why it cost so much, they explained that it takes time to obtain the files and takes labor and supplies to makes the copies. That is not the issue. The problem is the exorbonate cost to obtain a copy of your own medical files. Under HIPPA, they may charge a reasonable amount for the labor and supplies to make copies. $5 per page is unreasonable. Also, it is a violation of HIPPA to charge to look for your files. "The Privacy Rule permits the covered entity to impose reasonable, cost-based fees. The fee may include only the cost of copying (including supplies and labor) and postage, if the patient requests that the copy be mailed. If the patient has agreed to receive a summary or explanation of his or her protected health information, the covered entity may also charge a fee for preparation of the summary or explanation. The fee may not include costs associated with searching for and retrieving the requested information." You can report HIPPA violations to the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services provides an OCR Health Information Privacy Complaint Form Package on its website. read more

I wish I could give this place ZERO STARS! The ladies in the front are horrible at their damn job, my two year old sister can do a better job then those dumb girls.

My wife and I have been here since we found out she was pregnant. Shes almost 6 months now, Dr. Mishal is great and an amazing doctor. Only problem here is the staff. Very rude over the phone and in person. Because of the staff is why im giving it 1 star. They forget to send urine samples out, they never call you back with results when they say they will. Every single time were here we are always on time for our appointment but still sit in the waiting room for almost an hour every single time. For this reason of the staff we are choosing to go to another doctor for the remainder of her pregnancy. Dont bother coming here. Theres other dr offices with better service. read more

Dr Mishal was the worst doctor I've ever been to. I highly don't recommend him...the staff were ok but he was rude.

If I can leave no stars I would! I'm so glad that, I left this doctor. I should of been left sooner my biggest regret! Dr.mishall is such a rude doctor! Very unprofessional as well, as his staff, I don't recommend this place AT ALL. I transferred to Long Beach and I love it! Right away they took it into consideration that this is my first pregnancy. They put me up on game with my pregnancy, gave me A lot of information. That this piece of shit doctor didn't. They're monitoring me. They took the time to explain. Dr.mishall was very inpatient. He would talk to me like, if I'm suppose to know about my pregnancy. Then when I took it into consideration to keep eye on my daughter because this dumb ass didn't. He got mad and said "what do you need me for then?" I'm glad, I found a new doctor. I feel safe & heard. Also dr.mishalls staff told my mom there's no point in me complaining about him, if he owns the place. So guess what, I'm going to take it to the board. So they know and see how he treats people. He sucks balls. Whoever writes a good review to this place is also FULL OF SHIT. They unorganized, rude, no oriented. Also! Their staff NEVER would get my medical right. I would always have to call & remind them. They would ALWAYS get my information wrong. They never payed attention to my stuff. I would always have to do THEIR work & going back & forth with people. Instead of them looking at my dam medical FIRST the FIRST time! read more

So Here is my breakdown, I will give this place 3 star all in all, till I feel a bit more comfortable or content/or discontent with them. 5 Star for Dr. Mishal 2 Star for facility/wait time period 0-2 Star for Front desk staff 3-4 for back office staff nurses/Ultra sound Tech This review might be a bit confusing but once you read my story you would understand, hopefully. Well its start by me looking for a new OBGYN Doc, I had Kaiser for about 10 Years and honestly, I wish I would have been able to stay there. Anyways my first encounter with this office was off to a good start, the ladies were polite and seemed efficient over the phone. When I went in for my first visit, the waiting time was about 40min, I thought well it's my first time and paperwork needed to be in place before the visit, so I brushed it off. The visit went well, the back staff nurse was nice, and Dr. Mishal was also nice, seemed honest, and very informative, was actually glad and felt relieved when I was going home. My second visit was for an ultrasound, it went well and pretty fast. This is when things take a turn, my third visit was for a Thursday, I initially asked for a Friday appointment but Dr. Mishal doesn't go in that day, I was told. The week before my appointment, I was called by a woman telling me that my appointment has been changed to Friday, But I remembered that the Doc won't be in that day, so I stated, " oh but Dr. Mishal won't be in Friday, that's why I was given Thursday appointment". She stated oh well The Doctor will be in that day, another Doctor switched the day with him, I didn't think anything of it, so I said okay, well better for me. Appointment time come, to my surprise the Doc was not in, and I already had missed my Thursday appointment, I was flagged as a no call no show. I informed the nurse, no my appointment was changed by you guys last week to today, I am here for my appointment now, and the front desk person, Sandra, I believe was her name; she said well because you missed your appointment yesterday, the doctor is not in today, he won't have any days available till next week. I though it extremely rude, unprofessional, and downright bad that she just told me to my face, I missed my appointment, even though I just told her, I am here for my appointment, I did not miss my appointment, are you telling me I am lying to you, that I want to miss work, pay day care, and come at a wrong date, waste my time, really did you not understand that you guys changed my appointment???!!!! She even asked another front desk person to see my profile because since I missed yesterday, they had called me to follow up to why I missed my appointment, they also left a message. NOT correct, no one had called me, much less left a message, otherwise it's obvious I would have known of the situation and would have not come in!!! Anyways the other woman said yes I have your profile here and we did leave a message, I just couldn't believe what I was hearing, so I asked okay what's the number on profile, I thought must be wrong info, and no it was my correct contact info, so these people, I don't know what they were talking about, all excuses, it obvious that someone in their department messed up and they didn't want to admit, take the fault, nor apologize for this huge inconvenience they put me through. Anyways, I had to go back..... At this time, I was more in than out and needed the surgery to get done, plus the doc was nice, and that's hard to find! So far I had surgery, the doctor was again informative of all he planned on doing when I underwent surgery, so far the recoup wasn't as easy as it was in the past, and I declare it to be because of the lack of follow up instructions, or post op instructions or instruments needed for recoup. I've had the same procedure done several times with Kaiser and the aftermath was easier, and I strongly feel it was because of this small little blow tool they gave me to take home and blow air into, this tool helps the lungs and strength of abdominal wall for faster less painful recuperation. Although I must also state that time has passed and I've aged, and also have to factor what was taken out his time, also would have contributed to the more painful aftermath. This surgery was hard I've had a strong, itchy, raspy, nonstop cough that I cannot seem to get rid off, I drink lots of H20 when it hits, and that lessens the cough and pain but man it's though. Anyways needless to say, I will continue to go with this doc for the follow up of my procedure, I'm not stupid, but I am currently looking for another facility to go to as my OBGYN place, although it does depend on my upcoming appointment, because as with anything continuous exposure to something can make it or beak it. read more
