    The office staff was really kind to me. I really appreciated that. The TV in the waiting room was…read moresometimes too loud. They had the nature channel on so sometimes it showed animals attacking each other which was a little unpleasant. The waiting room itself was nice. Dr. Bui was really friendly and kind on the first visit. On the second visit, not so much. She was brutally honest about what she thought about me. On one hand, I could appreciate her honesty, but she was very wrong in her judgment. I had a test done that proved I had a medical problem. She told me that she took back what she said about me. That was really nice of her. On the third and fourth visit, she was better. I don't dislike Dr. Bui as a person, but as a doctor, I think she should have not been so quick to judge. Or at least she could have kept what she thought to herself and let the tests show her what was going on. The second visit was just awkward and felt weird. I would not recommend her to family and friends because I don't think they would like her personality. If she would have said to them what she said to me, they wouldn't have gone back for more testing and treatment. I don't think this doctor is for everyone. You need to be persistent when you know something is wrong despite what the doctor may say.

    No one answers their front office phones. I have called 4 times in 1 hr, to speak with someone to…read moreget an appointment rescheduled.

    Staff is lovely and the doctor both knowledgeable and personable. He spends time getting to know…read moreyou and does not rush the appointment. I appreciate that. Seeing a cardiologist is nerve-wracking enough, but to have a doctor show genuine interest is refreshing and rare

    This is my first time meeting this doctor. I don't think he was Dr. Chavira. I had been looking…read moreforward to this visit, to help with the edema in my legs. He came in, shook my hand & started talking 100 miles an hour. I understood maybe 1/4 of what he said. The nurse/person on the computer was asking me questions & he was dictating, & she was typing really fast. He was standing the entire visit. She said to him that I was having trouble breathing, he said "the reason she's here is because of the swelling of her ankles". Says he "can already see the problem, she's obese". I told him that my daughter is a doctor & had written notes & a video for him. He said, "I don't need the video, you're here now. I'll just look at your ankles". I played it for him anyway. He kept rattling off words to his nurse, "there's nothing wrong with you, but I just want to order some tests." He continued listing tests. "How tall are you?" "5'5" I think". "You're fat. You're just too fat. You just need to lose weight. Why don't you lose weight." I try to speak - "I've tried. Since lithium & levothyroxine I've gained about 30 pounds". "Haha! That's nonsense. Thyroid medication for *hyper*thyroidism - you lose weight, not gain. (I'm *hypo*thyroid)You are LAZY!!! (Doing everything I could not to cry, I said, "I'm not lazy"). "And you are probably drinking too much soda." (Points to my water bottle) And, I know they say 8-10 glasses of water - but that's nonsense! You're drinking too much, which is why your ankles are swollen. (I don't drink soda. Only water, + two coffee, two tea daily). "I'm going to order some tests & bloodwork. They will do them now & then I'll wash my hands & come back". Then he runs down the list of tests. "Treadmill?" I say. "Yes, is there a problem?" I told him "the past few times", he finished my sentence, "you take that pill?" "Yes"- I said. "No! Can't you walk for 30 minutes? See, you're lazy! You're obese because you eat too much & don't exercise enough. It's not complicated. Why don't you lose weight? Another option is gastric bypass." The nurse/person told me to wait out in the waiting room & they will call me, when they're ready for me to take the tests. I said "ThankYou" & I just kept walking to the elevator & to my car. I sat in my car & cancelled my appointments for the rest of the day. Every single one of the nurses was "obese". Doesn't make sense. He's supposed to be a specialist in edema? Hard part is, I can't shake off feeling like dog poop. That will be with me for awhile.And, I really am concerned about my legs. But, I'm not going back there. Every doctor says something different : Dr. Marfori - "Would you rather be thin & unhappy"? (Side effects of Lithium & Zoloft). Nutritionist : "6 small meals a day to prevent low blood sugar". Gonzales : Didn't say. Dr. Shad : Didn't say. Allergist : Lose 20lbs.

Three times in one week an appointment was not recorded correctly by the staff, office location was changed without patient knowledge ahead of time and verification that specialist is actually working in the office on the day an appointment is scheduled. Accidents happen but three errors is one week is a breakdown within the office policy. The office manager maybe would like to look at improvements on scheduling. In addition to flagging those patients who are dementia patients in the system - so that instructions and appts are addressed with the caregiver. The assisting staff is very kind, professional and we love the doctors my family has seen. They are very attentive to their patients.

    Your office is run by children who can't answer the phone or keep a schedule. My first appointment…read morewas TeleHealth and the doctor was over an hour late. When I came in for my first office visit, I was 15 minutes early, signed in, sat down and kept my mouth shut while an irate patient berated the clueless girl behind the desk, a flood of patients came in after me, they were all checked in and seen before me. Finally I asked the girl what the problem was, she went back and got someone who told me they don't appreciate it when patients show up late for their appointments and then demand to be seen. I had 4 more office visits, all of which I was 10-15 minutes early for, each time they came to get me exactly 19 minutes late, as if they knew I would walk out at 20 minutes. my last visit, you had a child shave my chest with what I can only assume was a piece of broken glass because the result was horrific and left me scarred. Now you guys are calling my emergency contact to check me in for my Telehealth. wtf? UPDATE: I was writing this review when you were already 30 minutes late for my Telehealth, I had to call in to ask what was going on but was placed on hold for an additional 30 minutes only to be told my Telehealth wasn't happening and then I was made to feel like I was the bad guy and me being upset about this was unreasonable. you people have wasted my time for the last time
