From start to finish I was treated with professionalism, speed and courtesy. Kind staff and responsive staff all the way through. Truly night and day above other providers I had contacted who never even returned my call from their robot voicemails. Here it was personal and caring from the consultation to the procedure and the follow ups.

Dr. Dezfoli performed an endoscopy and found that she had an ulceration in her esophagus and severe damage due to acid reflux. He also noticed two lumps in the lining of the stomach. She needed a specialized endoscopy with ultrasound. He was able to refer us to a top notch gastroenterologist at Cedar Sinai and with his connections to the hospital we were able to get an appointment within 2 weeks. With the help of Dr. Dezfoli, and his diligence we are working on getting her back to health. He and his staff are wonderful to work with.

This review is for Dr. Mankal who works out of the same office. My elderly father was diagnosed…read morewith advanced Liver issues after he contracted Covid 19 in 2020. The liver doctor at hospital gave him a year to live. After he was released we were traveling to a doctor in San Gabriel which was quite a distance since my parents live in Lakewood, Ca. After searching the internet I came across Dr. Mankal in Los Alamitos and when I say he has been an absolute God send, I mean it!!!! While my father's condition is not without its issues, Dr. Mankal has been amazing. His bedside manner is incredible, he is patient and extremely knowledgeable and best of all my father is still with us, 4 years after the liver doctor at the hospital wrote him off. I also love the portal and usually get answers to questions or requests for meds within 24 hours. I hesitate to post this review because I worry Dr. Mankal will be swamped with new patients but then I think of others facing these types of challenges and needing quality care and feel compelled to share. We also love Angela, his front office lady, she is wonderful as well! I strongly recommend Dr, Mankal and Angela!!!!!

New Patient Process I called the office to ask about their new patient process, and they helpfully walked me through the process and directed me to their online forms. After filling out the online forms and submitting them via email, I was able to call the office and have someone on the phone to help with questions. Super nice and patient staff members! They also responded to my patient forms same-day, and my first appointment was scheduled within a week. Appointments The patient portal and ability to use televisits is really convenient. I am not a tech-savvy person, and I was able to setup my account online, pay online, and virtually meet Dr. Mankal in a televisit. Patient Care Dr. Mankal listened to all my concerns and was able to describe what was happening in a way I could easily understand. He prescribed clear directions for next steps, and a prognosis. I really appreciated how clear and attentive he was.

I had my colonoscopy in December with Dr. Ghoshtasbi. The experience itself was pleasant and…read moreefficient, and all the staff are warm and professional in person. Another thing I appreciate is that in the printout report I was given immediately after the procedure, there are multiple photographs of my insides, and my polyp is circled in the photo. (My husband had a recent recent colonoscopy at a completely different provider, and his polyp was not indicated on the photos... that's the only way my experience was better than his.) However I cannot recommend this office to anyone because it is completely impossible to contact the office. If you call during office hours, you are connected to an AI. The AI cannot schedule appointments or much of anything else useful. The AI crashed when I tried to leave a message. I even tried to send a fax, and the fax failed. I should've let that be my warning not to get an appointment for consultation, because communication with office staff didn't get any better after the consultation.

My experience with Dr Huang genuinely haunts me, as one of the worst experiences I've ever had in any medical context. It has been a while, but I was encouraged to come say my piece better late than never. I went to him with a series of issues and symptoms, well documented for many many months. At the time I was throwing up 3-5 times a day against my will, partnered with awful abdominal pain and chronic fatigue. We had a virtual appointment, and he was listening to my symptoms as normal. but once he saw my medication list and saw I have a mental health diagnosis- he immediately went totally cold and dismissive. Like I was wasting his time. I literally can see his face now. I was emotional trying to explain the struggle of what I was experiencing. But he said that in his "expert opinion" there was NOTHING wrong with me, and my mental health was the cause of me THINKING something was wrong.... i was so confused an devastated, i just asked "you're not even gonna check if something is wrong?" And that's when he said one of the worst things he could say- "I could do an upper endoscopy if you WANT.... But I'm 99.99% sure I won't find anything wrong" Well, i never saw him again, I was utterly devastated with my treatment, after waiting months to see him. BUTTT guess what? I did get that upper endoscopy at another practice- Turns out I had 1. CHRONIC GASTRITIS, 2. BARRETS ESOPHAGUS, and 3. multiple vitamin deficiencies found through blood work (that he didn't bother to do) Essentially- he couldn't have been more wrong. But he delayed me getting adequate care by making me have to fight to even be seen as a Person beyond medications on a chart. I'll never forget the way his face changed, the way the care left his voice as he just assumed maybe some people have had good experiences with Dr Huang, but the way he spoke to me and the things he said still haunt me- an example of some of the worst of what women and neurodivergent people face just in seeking diagnoses. If these things apply to you, and you've been struggling to find/waiting to get in with a good doctor who actually cares to help you.... Do not risk it with Dr Huang.

The procedure was done under general anesthesia, so I slept through the whole thing and felt nothing. I awoke quickly afterward and did not experience any discomfort at all. My whole experience there was pain-free! Dr Patel explained the results (which were good), answered my questions, and gave me a written summary and also a photo taken from the endoscope showing the general condition of my colon. Afterwards Dr Patel went beyond the call of duty and very graciously gave me a ride home in her own car when I couldn't reach my friend who had dropped me off and was supposed to pick me back up later (they don't allow you to drive yourself). We found out later there was a glitch in his cell phone coverage so his phone didn't even ring, but in the meantime I had no money for a taxi and the surgery was closing. I offered to take the bus home but Dr Patel didn't think that would be safe, even though I really didn't feel groggy from the anesthetic. I am very grateful to Dr Patel for her kindness in going out of her way to drop me safely back home!
