He spent an inordinate amount of time with me, with my family and throughout my treatment. Explained everything and answered all of my questions...

Always greeted with a smile and confidence of their technical ability. they two were patient with me during this journey. They are all angels for what they do. This goes for everybody in the back room as well as the wonderful reception area. Andrew always had a smile and always asked me what I was going to do for the weekend. I simply cannot say enough about this group. The radiation machine... I call it a time machine... Because it has given me more time on the face of this earth. I cannot thank them enough.

She is absolutely great at what she does and really took the time for the right placement. Another thank you to Stephanie in ultrasound, sweet and very thorough.

I am sorry to say that I need to give Dr. Khagi one star and I'm only giving that because there is…read moreno option for 0 stars. I did a lot of research to find a hematologist for a second opinion and found Dr. Khagi. I had to wait 3 weeks to get in to see him. On the day of my appointment, his office called me while I was on my way... to cancel my appointment which made me extremely upset. I told the staff that I was still coming. I had given Dr. Khagi, medical records to review when I got there. Staff was very nice. When Dr. Khagi came into the room to meet me for the first time, he didn't want to get to know me or my history. He just started talking about the records I provided.. I was there to find out if his professional opinion was that I wouldn't get another DVT, PEs or both in the future and if I needed to go back on blood thinners as another doctor had wanted me to. He told me he didn't think I needed to be on blood thinners anymore and that was it. I did ask him a question and he made me feel stupid for even asking it. He disagreed with the previous doctor. He was with me for all of 10 minutes and that was it. I was extremely disappointed. After my visit the office sent me a survey about my visit and I was very honest and said just what I am saying here and the girl just wanted to make excuses for him and tried to get me to change my opinion. This made me even more upset. If you don't want people to be honest, don't send them a survey. When I went back and read Dr. Khagi's notes from my office visit, I noticed that he had written things that didn't occur in the office visit. He also said he was with me for 50 minutes which was absolutely not true. He was with me for 10.. 15 at the most. So, I wrote him and disagreed with him. I didn't expect any response but he did write me several times.. he actually spent more time responding to me in messages than he did in person. I thought he would run his own tests just to compare apples to apples with my other doctor but he said they weren't necessary but for a second opinion, I did expect he would want to be as completely thorough as possible given my dilemma. I won't be going back to Dr. Khagi. I've read all of these other nice reviews about Dr. Khagi like how he has a great bedside manner and how he took time with other patients but I just can't honestly say that given his attitude towards me in the office, the lack of time spent with me and in his responses to me in the portal.

A Clinician of Providential Skill, A Practice of Profound Contrast…read more My initial visit with Dr. Qasabian revealed a hematologist whose clinical insight and decisive approach represented a turning point in my care. After an exhaustive 21-month search through a sea of California's medical providers--a landscape often marked by dismissiveness and professional gaslighting--his precision in assessment and action inspired a hope I had nearly abandoned. During my first infusion, he contextualized my struggle with a narrative that was refreshingly separate from my own; it was the first time I felt understood by a medical professional rather than interrogated. As a patient with challenging venous access, I acknowledge the complexity this introduces. I extend my professional empathy to the clinical staff tasked with this endeavor. I have observed a cohesive and familiar dynamic among the long-term patients and staff, a rhythm built over the years. This established culture is a defining feature of the practice. Ultimately, my continued patronage is a testament to the singular value of Dr. Qasabian's medical expertise. In the calculus of my health, his rare acumen outweighs all other environmental variables.

Also happy that the practice is thriving. They recently went through a major remodel / expansion of their office space here in West Hills. Now they have more exam rooms to provide for patient care, plus a larger waiting room. The nurses and front office staff members are universally kind and caring in our experience. Arranging appointments is easy to do. They have a patient portal for accessing medical records / testing results. Dr. Shaye provides medical expertise in a manner that makes us feel confident in his advice. Our last check up went very well and I had a spring in my step when leaving the office. Between Dr. Shaye, Dolly, and the scheduler, we were well cared for in a timely fashion, even late in the day. I barely felt the blood draw and had zero bruising. Wow! The words "care and caring" keep coming up in this review because they are absolutely the right way to describe the experience of being seen at this medical practice.

It's rare to find a doctor who combines such expertise with kindness and dedication. I also want to mention his staff, they are just as responsible, professional, and kind. The whole office is well organized, respectful, and always helpful, which makes every visit smooth and stress-free I feel very confident and comfortable under his care, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a doctor who truly puts patients first. Thank you, Dr. Arasheben, I really appreciate everything you do.

We found out ourselves as we got a new pcp and new insurance cards out of nowhere. Of course due to Dr. Arasheben's office not notifying us of this change, we ran out of medication refills and had to wait for an appointment with a new PCP. Additionally, while we were still with this doctor's office, they would require visits every 3 months just for medication refills which seemed like a money grab. Overall, I unfortunately don't recommend Thrive CMG.
