she's the best Md ever just finish my consult with her this afternoon depressed to hear she has plans to travel for a bit It took me a long time to find a unique and kind genius like her. I don't know where to even begin. read more

Worst experience I have ever had with a doctor. Terrible bedside manner and extremely dismissive. Left my last appointment with her (which she was extremely late to) crying as I got virtually no answers and was told to keep doing what I am doing even though what I have been doing is clearly not working and I am suffering. She was arrogant and rude and I am extrememly disappointed in this level of care as I have had such good experiences with other doctors at Huntington Family. read more

Dr. Hethumuni is knowledgeable and caring. She spent time to explain conditions and took a detailed history. Her office is efficient and well run. I feel lucky to be in her care. read more

I agree with the reviewer who said this woman is "arrogant and ignorant". I laughed out loud as I had her for a little while. But it's no laughing matter really. She's impatient and doesn't connect with her patients. She acts like a know it all. I was surprised she didn't come into the room while taking a selfie. I'm also surprised she doesn't know her effect on people, which is bad. There's nothing worse than a person who is unaware of what a shit they are. That's what makes them ignorant. Your consciousness cannot rise till you have self-awareness and change for the better..it will always be this way. She was obnoxious and self centered. Why did she become a doctor? You're not supposed to become a doctor for the money or to throw airs and be conceited. You're SUPPOSED to study to be a doctor to LISTEN to people because you want to help them. read more

Terrible bedside manner. I can't tell if she's pissed off, or confused when I'm relaying symptoms to her. She has like a rude face or demeanor that doesn't make you feel comfortable sharing information with. read more

I had an awful experience at this office and with Dr. Hethumuni. I waited over an hour to be seen, the parking lot doesn't have enough spaces for their business (and the ones they have are painted weirdly tiny), and no one was at the front desk for a long time after I arrived. Dr. Hethumuni treated me with unwarranted suspicion and talked down to me the entire time I was there. Her manner lacked any detectable compassion or empathy. I felt wildly uncomfortable and truly regretted ever making an appointment (which I did through their answering service, and whose representative advised me incorrectly about making an appointment). The nurse I met with before the doctor was great. The intake forms seem to have been drafted in 1955. They are entirely ignorant around gender/sexuality issues, and asked my religion (???). I don't know what the story is with this place but I wish I had never gone there. read more

The staff at this doctor office is beyond ridiculous. I had an appointment with Dr. Hethumuni on Monday, which is booked well over 4 weeks ago. I went in right on time, and was told by the staff that the computer went down in the morning so the Dr cannot see me, nor can they reschedule my appointment at the moment. I have to go back home and wait for them to call me back for rescheduling. How come nobody contact me before I wasted my time and gas to make it to the office? I got a call from them later that day, so I call them back the next day to reschedule. I was told I have to wait another month to see the Dr. So because of their computer issue, which is no fault of mine, I have to go back to the end of the line and wait all over again. What a joke. I told them there is no need to reschedule. This whole experience with the office staff is beyond ridiculous. read more

Recently I found out that she has retired so the healthcare group assign me another doctor within my network. It was a great experience with Dr. Hethumuni. read more

Good doctor, great bedside manner, but REALLY long wait times. I've been a patient here for 4 years and have always liked Dr Hethumuni. Recently, I've noticed the wait times time been increasing in length. I'm currently waiting to see the Dr. I've been waiting now for over a hour and still no Dr in sight. The last time I was here, I waited a similar length. That time, I waited over an hour and spent about 10min with the Dr. It's not clear to me why this office can't better manage their scheduling. I showed up at my scheduled time, I don't think it's too much to expect the Dr to respect my time and do the same. Saw the Dr for 5min. read more

Dr. Hethumani is arrogant and ignorant. I went to her for chest pains and she diagnosed it as anxiety. She prescribed a medication for anxiety which caused me to have to have suicidal thoughts. She had not warned me of this side effect nor did she follow up to find out how I was doing. I figured out on my own that the medication was a disaster for my mental health. Later, I felt a lump in my breast and called Dr. Hethumani. Her advice was to take the first available appointment which was over a month away. I went to another doctor instead. Turned out to be stage III breast cancer. I am disheartened that a medical doctor in this day and age, especially a woman, would dismiss a woman's pain and prescribe antidepressants. read more

I agree with everything except the title of her name, since I believe she is not an MD but a DO. (Almost the same thing from my understanding, but the difference is important to note.) read more

This Doc rocks!!! She takes her time with you, follows up on the phone, and is overall very very good. She even convinced me to quit smoking without ever coming across as a nag. Best of all, she takes the time to guage your mental health as well as your body's health. I appreciate that very much. You won't regret picking Dr. Hethumuni. I will gladly recommend her to anyone. read more

I love, love, love her! I have been a patient for many years. I moved to the Antelope Valley, but I will travel the 50 miles to see her. Dr. Hethumuni is thorough, always on point and she genuinely cares for you. She will answer if you call and if she happens to be with a patient, if you leave her a voicemail, she will call you back same day. When it comes to my health and well being, I know I can always count on her! read more

Been under Dr. Hethumuni's care for 3 years now! I also recommended her to some of my friends. She's awesome and people person! See you next time Doc! read more

Dr. Hethamuni is a good and caring doctor. If you have any issues and she takes your insurance, I recommend you see her. The only issue I have is "wait time." My insurance in HMO - so I guess it's par for the course - but having to wait more than an hour after my designated appointment time has raised my blood pressure on at least a couple of occasions. Bring a book and take 1/2 a xanax if you have HMO insurance. Otherwise - FANTASTIC! read more

I've had the privelege of being Dr Hethumuni's patient for over 10 years. And have just come to learn while trying to schedule an appointment that she is not practicing at this time. Wherever you are Dr Hethumuni, know you are missed. I am compelled to extend my gratitude to you via the internet for your years of excellent care. And I selfishly hope for your return. Sending lots of love to you. read more

Dr. Hethumuni surprised me with her excellent bedside manner, spending more than adequate time with me to discuss my history, factors that could be contributing to my allergy problems, etc and definitely did not rush through my visit like doctors have usually done in the past. I felt like she truly cares about me and was open to hearing my thoughts and desires regarding past and future med use. She sent my prescriptions over right away and they were all correct (as a pharmacist you'd be surprised how many rx's are received directly from offices with errors!) Also great that there's free and easy parking with validation. Will definitely be going back to her for follow ups. read more

I called today to set up an appointment with one of the doctors after reading good reviews, because I've been feeling depressed lately. They had me speak with a nurse over the phone to get more information, her name was Terri. I am just writing this because I am truly very moved by how incredibly kind and empathetic she was to me over the phone. Not to mention had great information to give me. Thank you so much. read more

I have so much respect for Dr. Hethumuni. I've never had such a caring, honest and thoughtful doctor. She is a very good listener and her advice is always on point. She genuinely cares for your well being and shows it by follow up calls, remembering little details that you wouldn't think she'd remember from past visits and never rushes through your appointments with her. She's been my primary doctor for the past few years and I am grateful to have found such a great doctor. I can't recommend her enough! read more

Dr. Hethumuni has a phenomenal bedside manner, and a clearly cares for her patients. She really listens to you, and tries to get at the root of your problems rather than just treating the symptoms. There is a bit of a wait to get an appointment with her, but it's absolutely worth it. Get her as your GP before she gets super popular and fills up! She does not make you feel rushed, or like you're 'taking up her time' in any way. My first visit with her did start a little late (about fifteen minutes late), but she spent an hour with me, going over all of my concerns and taking a very detailed family history. She personally walked me to the reception area, and waited with me while I made a follow up appointment and made sure that I knew where to get my prescriptions, and exactly how/when to take them. She is incredibly thorough with her exam, she asks a lot of very detailed questions and does not rush you like most doctors. It is clear that she cares deeply for all of her patients, and that she doesn't just want to prescribe a quick-fix for any symptoms you may have. She wants to find the reason behind your symptoms, and she wants to treat it in the least invasive way possible. I highly suggest getting in with Dr. Hethumini before she gets really popular. I would be willing to bet that within a year or two, she won't be able to take new patients. read more

I've always been pleased with the care provided by Dr. Hethumuni. She listens to her patients, is knowledgeable, gentle, and kind. I would highly recommend her. I was a patient of one of her colleagues, Dr. Rivas-Plata, who I felt was lacking in his bedside manner, prior to switching to her care. I have not been disappointed with my decision. read more

I have been searching for almost two years for a new family doctor, and I have FINALLY found one I LOVE in Dr. Hethumuni. She was just fantastic all around. Her office is very nice and relaxing and the people were so friendly. I am used to doctor's offices where I wait for 45 minutes to be seen for 5 minutes to then be then sent on my way. This was the complete opposite. I only had to wait a few minutes, and she was in my room talking with me for over 30 minutes. I never once felt rushed, and she was so knowledgable, helpful, and upbeat all at the same time. Definitely recommend!!!!! read more

I've spent the last four years searching for a good doctor and I finally found one. Dr. Hethumuni is a true professional: attentive, insightful, and always eager to find the right diagnosis and treatment methodology, as opposed to the most obvious. She makes herself available to her patients so that one never feels ignored or rushed. A true gem in this vast wasteland of under-qualified and inept medical professionals, Dr. Hethumuni is a primary-care provider you can depend upon and trust. read more

I changed to Dr. Hethumuni after 3 years of a less than stellar experience with my other doctor. I didn't know much about her, but I decided to take a chance based on a few reviews I found online. I couldn't be happier with my decision to request Dr. Hethumuni as my doctor. It's been a long time since I had a primary care doctor who truly listened to me, took the time to understand what was going on with me from a holistic perspective (holistic meaning the entire story), and seemed genuinely interested in my well being. She's knowledgeable, sensitive, efficient, and just generally "on it" in a major way. I feel extremely comfortable being in her care. All her staff, both office staff and nursing staff, are wonderful too. I'm so grateful to have found her/them! read more

Had the worst experience of my life today. Was scheduled for surgery in a month. Had an appt with the Doctor on Monday for a clearance to surgery. Received a call from the office at 5:00pm telling me they didn't receive my paperwork. I confirmed paperwork was there but was told we don't see it and Doctor is only in on Monday this week so sorry we can't help you. I told them i needed to reschedule then and she proceeded to tell me, "sorry, nothing available for over a month." I couldn't believe they could be so rude and careless. Worst experience of my life read more

Extremely professional and always very helpful. Takes the time to listen to you and answer all your questions. I've never felt hurried with her. (Some doctor's you feel like you're on a timer as soon as the nurse see's you, let alone them) Even better, she continually asks questions that go beyond why you're there, making sure that you get the most out of every visit. Feel very fortunate to have her. read more

I recently went to see Dr. Hethumuni after being referred by my wife, who has been her patient for years. Dr. Hethumuni was everything my wife had praised her for. She is polite, friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and personable. She spoke to me and made me feel like a person and not just a patient. She's my new doc and will be unless I leave Los Angeles. read more

Dr. Hehumuni has been a fantastic doctor, she cares about her patients for their whole being beyond our routine medical needs. She addressed my medical concerns promptly and accommodate for my special needs. I had great appreciation for her and would recommend her to anyone who's searching for a good doctor. read more

She's a great doctor !! Very detailed with her exams and makes you feel comfortable makes sure you don't leave the office with any questions or concerns read more

She is the best doctor I have ever had!!! She takes time, makes me feel that she truly has my best interest in mind, and remembers previous appointments. I have complete faith in her and know that she has already helped me remedy a mistake from another doctor. She is awesome! read more

doctor rehana hethumuni, is a excellent doctor, very smart, intelligent and you do not have to ask questions because she is always fast enough to tell you the answers you need to know... that is all you want to learn from her. unfortunately i have problems to get connected to the office,the phones always holding you for long time...even of you lieave a message they ignore you completely...or are to busy... difficult to make an appointment... ! the labs test must be done where ever they tell you... and no options for you to choose....no labcorp ! the nurses are friendly but little more distracted... ordering test that all results are already on the table!???.... this is scary i lost trust in the way this office manage everything. to bad and sad to see a great doctor and all this deficiencies around her surrounding..... i rather chose urgent care twice, fast and believable...and looking other opinions . for my only emergency i had i spend 4 months with out no treatment of any support but drinking water.... no thanks. lucky we can find many more doctors with a professional team around them.... hard to find..but i have one now already. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Hethumuni for several years. She does a very thourough job of evaluating her patients. She is also very persistent in following up on her patients. I never feel she is too rushed to pay attention to me during my appointments. I have referred others to her practice with confidence that they will get the very best of care. read more

First of all, Dr. H keeps on schedule, which I appreciated much more after going for an x-ray in the building and waiting for over an hour. I was going to make a quick call and I didn't even have time to dial when I was called in. You get much better service by her staff in person than on the phone. I have a feeling she doesn't always get her phone messages. I went in asking for several services on one day and she was right on it. She was genuinely concerned and expressed it kindly. read more

Dr. Hethumuni is without a doubt the most outstanding primary physician I've encountered. I've/will continue to recommend her to all, while singing her praises. Professional, kind, knowledgable, energetic, extremely interactive, are just a few words to describe Dr. Hethumuni. I'm making an appointment now for an issue w/my achilles and look forward to the visit. NEVER thought I'd say that regarding any medical appt.! read more

Dr. Hethumuni is fantastic, she has a great bedside manner and is always spot on with her diagnosis. She's intelligent, accurate and kind. I feel so blessed to have found her. If you're looking for a great doctor, look no further. read more

Dr. Hethumuni is the best! She listens, she asks the right questions, she follows up. I get the sense she makes the most of getting the rest of the staff to help follow-up well too. I feel better just seeing her. She gives good advice for your mental well-being and seems pretty attuned to how your mental state may affect your physical being. I was not happy with some other doctors and switched to her. I don't want to switch, even though I moved almost 30 miles away. read more

She is a wonderful doctor and I miss her very much! I signed up with Covered California, and she does not accept my plan, but I am thinking of paying out of pocket just to see her again. Great facility, knowledgable staff, and she rarely kept me waiting for too long. She is very attentive, and truly takes time to listen to her patients. read more

I love Dr. Hethamuni (despite having zero love for my HMO). I have continued to see her and her only - although now have a PPO. She is young, relatable, smart, empathetic and human. I think she's the best GP I have ever been to. read more

First of all Rehana Minoli Hethumuni has a DO and not a MD! This should be a big tip off. I hadn't realized it until after I was treated. My initial visit was fine. But when I came down with pneumonia and I couldn't make an appointment for a 7 days I became a bit concerned. I went to a walk in clinic where I was put on serious RX to try and clear up my lungs up but was encouraged by the clinic to keep my appointment with my primary physician. Her office lost my appointment (even after I called to confirm) then told me "Sorry about the mix up but their hands were tied". They then told me"If I was willing to wait until every other patient was seen for the day she would be willing to see me". I told her that I was not willing to "go to the back of the line" for one of their mix ups and saw a physician in their office who could see me right away. This tells me three things: 1) She has a very poorly run office 2) She is very difficult to make appoints with even when you are very ill and 3) She does not value my time or my patronage. I transferred to a different MD right away. read more

Dr. Hethumuni is very nice, if you can get in to see her. I regularly have to wait 2 weeks for the "first available appointment" and I have put up with it because I only need the doctor 2 or 3 times a year. I don't like that she never schedules follow up visits to go over labs or to make sure things are working out or improving. This week I broke down and called the doctor because I have been unwell for a month now. I was told the soonest appointment was 48 days away. I asked if they were kidding. No, the doctor will be on vacation for 3 weeks. Okay there's 21 days, she's entitled to a vacation; but, then I need to wait an additional 27 days? They didn't recommend another doctor I could see sooner, didn't recommend Urgent Care, didn't suggest things I could try in the mean time to help myself, just said you'll be fine wait for that appointment. They'll let me know if there is a cancellation. I just can't understand how that is an acceptable response to a person distressed enough to call their doctor? I'm looking for a new doctor, I suspect I can get in with a new doctor in under 48 days. read more
