Beginning in the summer of 2025 on or about late June or early July, I developed a severe case of…read moreshortness of breath. Just walking from my carport to my front door with a few groceries or even vacuuming my condo unit resulted in my being out of breath ... definitely not normal! As most people would do, I went to my primary care physician to report my alarming condition and he referred me to both a pulmonologist and a cardiologist/interventionist. What follows is a layered narrative of my nearly 1-year journey to determine the cause of my shortness of breath. Like many things in my life script, I was very fortunate to be paired with a cardiologist / interventionist named Dr. CHRISTINE S WONG at the Southern California Heart Centers. She began her investigation into my alarming issue with a simple echocardiogram which revealed that I had an injection fraction of 40% - 45% which was alarmingly low since a normal ejection fraction is 55 - 70%! Over the ensuing months, which followed, Dr. Wong undertook a studied, focused and dedicated effort to determine the specific root and cause of my condition whether it was based on pulmonary issues or heart issues or perhaps a little of both. With a gravity of purpose, and the immediate prospect of a successful execution of an angiogram, she was able to determine that the valves in my heart were basically free of plaque buildup + any other particulate matter, which could almost be expected for a patient at age 69 - 70. With great articulatory precision in language, Dr Wong clearly explained the purpose of each and every procedure and the reasons why each and every step was necessary in determining the alarming cause of my shortness of breath, even for the most minor of physical activities. After this visit, she prescribed 3 medication's, which were meant to make my heart work less and have the peripheral result of also reducing my blood pressure though that was never an issue for me. Next on my plate of extensive tests was an MRI of my heart which she conveniently arranged for me at the UCI Health Campus in the city of Orange, which is only a short 20 minute drive from my home in Seal Beach! The results of my MRI were eye-opening as they revealed my ejection fraction had gone from 40% - 45% almost a year ago up to a very healthy 61% and it was manifested by my not being out of breath anymore for even the most minute of physical activities! At every step of the way Dr Christine Wong has operated clear of eye, strong of voice, sound of mind and steady of hand both literally and figuratively! As of today, Sunday, July 5, 2026 my heart medications have been reduced to one which is Entresto. My ejection fraction is holding steady in the 60% range as my heart has arguably returned to "normal" whatever normal is! The cause of my shortness of breath was determined to be most likely a virus, which had infected my heart causing it to work less efficiently. By prescribing the pills that Dr. Wong did for me, it allowed my heart to work less hard while my body's immune system spent more time fighting off the virus which took months to do so, but with a very successful outcome! The quality of care I have received from Dr Christine Wong is a "10+" and I stand up and cheer as one and yield to no one in my limitless praise of Dr. Wong's skill as a licensed physician and surgeon! My only concern was the crowded clinic that I always encountered at the main Southern California Heart Centers office in the city of San Gabriel which had a flood of standing room only patients many from a background of reduced circumstances. That concern was eventually addressed as I now see her in the far less crowded Arcadia satellite office, which is next to my hometown of Monrovia; each and every visit has now been a pleasant one where my appointment times are generally met and if she is late in seeing me, it's never for more than 5 or 10 minutes. It's never like what I used to experience at the main office in San Gabriel, where seeing Dr Wong an hour to an 1 1/2 after my appointment time was not unusual! I highly recommend interventionist Dr Christine M Wong in the strongest terms possible given the size, scope and scale of my initial condition, which has now been nearly 100% resolved to a positive outcome, resolution, and conclusion! --

I had Kevin Liu, MD as my assigned doctor. He's been absolutely wonderful. And for a place that's…read moreso busy (a lot of patients every time I've come in) they are pretty adequately staffed.

Overall pretty impressed. I usually dread going to the doctors because they just leave you waiting for so long but this place is definitely doing something right. Doctor Kevin also explains things in a way that's pretty easy to understand and he made me scary diagnosis not so scary.

We explained to the PCP the situation he redirected us to this location after we expressed the urgency of the matter and for the sole reason it needed to be done for an upcoming surgery that had to be rescheduled due to the cardiology clearance piece. We were pressed for time. The office staff was not empathetic to our needs they treated my mom as a number they didn't care this was an urgent matter the PCP called for a peer to peer to get the clearance they said "they are busy and dont have any appointments" They proceeded to say they can only see her the day before the surgery, a week and a day after the test late appt as well end of day almost (3pm) to give her the stress test results. They also lied and said they called City of Hope were she was having her surgery and they were ok getting the results the day before surgery. i called to confirm and they never got a call from this place. As a result now my moms surgery has been delayed again! They were not resourceful, empathetic, or caring. If it weren't because our hands are tied at the moment i would not continue the test here. But if you have a loved one that needs immediate attention. I don't recommend you take them here. What a let down after reading all the great reviews. Do better!!

When I called to make an appointment, the front desk was pleasant and polite (phew!) and quite efficient, asking me to text my insurance information to verify coverage. When I called back 30 min later I was able to get an appointment fairly quickly. The doctor himself is very kind, patient and thorough, addressing all my questions. He recommended a colonoscopy and mammogram, and even referred me to a specialist I can look into. My prescriptions were sent electronically to my pharmacy, so I can just pick up when they're ready. The doctor and his staff speaks English and I confirmed they speak Mandarin too, great for when my parents are in town. There was a patient that came in as an emergency, and I was glad to see they accommodated him politely. Glad to finally find myself a solid primary care physician! P.S. they are moving a block down in Aug. 2024.

Doctor tae has been a great doctor and definitely he can get mad at you if you don't follow his advice. There's been some days here and there where I didn't agree when he did some testings and said that he didn't find anything. Unfortunately, I have had strokes in the past and notttt fun. Doctor kept saying "he didn't think mine was a stroke and said it was something else." Hospital doctors and neurologist doctors stated it was a stroke what I had. I was back and forth trying to tell Dr tae how everything happened, but he didn't want to believe me. He's a very nice doctor with a strong attitude and funny of course, but I have had my disagreements with him which is sad. I really do like him it's just that I wished he would try a little harder to be more attentive and caring for the patients. He had Asked me to be on certain medications for years, but I was previously told that being on a specific medication for so long can also cause other issues so I stopped. I told Doctor tae & he got upset because I wasn't taking the meds. Some services can be good and others bad. The Asian Nurses know me so well because I've been coming here for years & they have been so nice and sweet to me. Once again doctors services are different every single time I go see him so you never know what to expect from the won that day. 1 thing I doooo like is that they open Saturdays so if you work during the week and can't make it you have the option to schedule an appointment for a Saturday and if you do need to pay them it's CASH ONLY nooo cards accepted.

I mean, why don't they have the courtesy to tell us to go to lunch and come back. We waited in the waiting area after they came back for lunch and still waiting, it's 2pm now and still waiting. Since my parents need this EKG to be done, we waited. If you don't have a heart problem, waiting here will definitely pissed you off to get high blood pressure to have a a heart problem.

Wow. Just wow... Let me first say that I am a long time…read morepatient of Dr Lee (at Pasadena location), who is very professional, kind and I trust him. But, today I called the office in Pasadena to follow up on a prescription issue. So, yeah... I got annoyed when the "nurse" Ana tells me twice that when I change pharmacies I need to make sure to let them know. Well, I changed pharmacies 3 years ago, notified the office staff 2 times since then, what more do I need to do? For some reason, "nurse" Ana felt the need to repeat to me that I need to let them know when I change pharmacies to avoid issues like the one I called about today. I told her that this error was not my fault, as I had notified the staff at their office previously a few times already. I repeated this was not my fault. Well, something about that made her lose it. She was already short and rude with me to start, but at this point she yells at me (as if I was her child or something) that she did not say it was my fault and that I need to listen to her and then all I heard was "blah blah blah"... because it was taking every ounce of my energy to not yell right back at her. I asked her to not yell at me. Then in a softer tone said she wasn't yelling and that she was only trying to tell me that I need to let them know when I change pharmacies. So, now I felt like I was trapped in a bad episode of Seinfeld or something. I was upset because she yelled at ME, when THEY were the ones who made a mistake, didn't notice that I had changed pharmacies a long time ago, and they were faxing the wrong pharmacy because of their own oversight. Do you think I got an "I'm sorry"... nope. In fact, I'm pretty sure she cussed me out after we hung up the phone. Ooo she was mad! I sure hope someone at the office reads this, because someone needs to have a talk with "nurse" Ana. She either hates her job, is a miserable woman taking it out on others, or needs some anger management. Or... she may not realize that she is in a customer service role (as a nurse, no less) where I am her customer (a patient, who's blood pressure may be a little higher after being yelled at) and she needs to remain calm and empathetic in her job! Oh, and, by the way... Ana: if you ever yell at me again, I will yell at you right back next next time and let it out on you directly, rather than vent on Yelp. Good day!
