Similar to Samantha's review, Dr. Gargi left my mom and I in the dark for two weeks. She diagnosed…read moremy mom with terminal cancer and then proceeded to be out of the office when we needed to schedule a port installation and the following chemo treatments. Initially, she told us that the hospital more local to my mom's area would not take her insurance and do the chemo treatments there. She also told us that my mom had to get her port installed in West Covina. We would see her in Alta Dena but now that I'm seeing the address on this yelp page, it makes sense why she wanted us to go to West Covina. She also wanted us to go to her friend's infusion clinic in North Hollywood while she built her own clinic. In a city like LA, Dr. Gargi was making it out to seem like the resources were limited or everything was so spread out. Since our calls went unanswered, we arranged for my mom to meet with another oncologist but that appointment would take another 3 weeks and couldn't be rushed. My mom wound up in the ER because she was in pain again and she was able to meet her new oncologist since he worked there. After he found out everything that Dr. Gargi had told us, he was livid and we found out that the information about the port, insurance, and everything was a lie. This happened in 2022 and I am so sad to see that she continues to operate in this manner. Please do not go to her infusion clinic, do not take her advice, and switch doctors immediately. She will not treat you or your family with the respect, honesty, and consideration you deserve. This is a person that sees illness as a business and nothing more...I don't know if she ever ended up opening her own infusion clinic but I just think a lot more things can go under the radar in a place like that. So please be careful. I wish I had read reviews on her before we continued with her...Even if my mom's cancer was terminal, it would at least get my mom on chemo sooner rather than later. My heart goes out to everyone who has had a terrible experience with Dr. Gargi. Out of all the jobs you could choose to be bad at, I just wish it wasn't oncology.

My father was diagnosed with lung cancer in the hospital and referred by the pulmologist to Dr…read moreGargi. Our appointment was June 9 2023. She ordered stat/urgent labs and chest X-rays that day, that were done . We called back various days with no answer for results as my father didn't appear well. We waited finally on June 20 after no answer we reached out to the pulmologist for guidance. (Dr Gargi had stated in that appointment that he needed fluid removed from lungs and then she would do a pet scan urgently to know what treatment he could receive) After not receiving a call back from her we reached out to the pulmologist and she referred him to the hospital on June 20, 2023. When in the hospital I called and left messages various times to let Dr Gargi know my dad was in the hospital and what were the next steps as oncologist in the hospital was saying he needed treatment asap. Call was never returned until Today June 30 the office of Dr Gargi finally returned the call following up on my messages. My father had passed away on Tuesday June 27,2023. I told them what kind of treatment will you do on my father now that he passed away.

Just went here a week ago. Saw Dr. Chung who performed a procedure involving my bladder. When doing…read moremore research on the procedure a lot of other Dr's either put their pts to sleep or gave them pain meds. Dr.Chung did neither and said the procedure wasn't that bad. I've had a horrific "recovery" and have tried to contact him and the office several times. I've messaged through the patient portal, called the nurse triage line, left messages- no one has gotten back to me. I would NEVER trust this facility or its doctors to perform any medical procedures on you or your loved ones. I fear I have permanent damage and I will call every day until they finally give me the time of day. The fact I have to call every day and no one gets back to me is infuriating.

Went to City of Hope for treatment of stage 4 melanoma just over a year ago. I had a bad reaction…read moreto the imunotherapy medication, specifically Yervoy, which landed me in the hospital. I've since been informed how dangerous Yervoy can be. Another highly respected oncologist told us it is known a patient killer. My oncologist Dr. Xing was unavailable the entire time I was admitted due to the holidays, even though initially my wife and I were told she would always be available. Her nurse Deanna was rude and dismissive throughout my time there. Dr Xing never made an appearance, or made any attempt to contact us during my hospitalization. The attending doctors were treating my reaction to imunotherapy drugs with pain medication that sent me to the edge of liver failure. A simple google search of the side effects of these pain meds revealed that they were all toxic to the liver which was where the melanoma was. We had to demand they stop all the pain medication they were administering, against their advice of course. Once we made that decision I began a recovery over a few days & my liver enzyme numbers came back to a more normal level. At that point we decided to go to another institution because Dr Xing was going to start me again on the same protocol that almost killed me. A year later I'm doing much better, thanks to the care at UCLA. The tumor is shrinking under a different protocol. Please think twice before you choose Dr. Xing at city of Hope. I would not have survived had I stayed as a patient of hers & would have been just another statistic. I'm sure the "official" cause of death would have been the cancer, (which is now much better) and not the mismanagement of my symptoms of the imunotherapy treatment. If I could give a ZERO rating I would.

I woke up w/my rt leg not able to move w/o excruciating pain, (15/10); I'm very good with pain, so…read moremy husband took me to the e.r., Sadly Keck USC is the closest one. I was on my old crutches when arriving because it helped to keep my weight off the leg & help with movement. The very kind security guard immediately got me a wheelchair. She also helped me gather my registration paperwork so I didn't have to wait in line. The nurse who took my vitals asked why I was there. This is not a common condition, but she said she had to check with her attending who determined it was not an emergency. A simple Google check would have told her that it was life threatening, but she was NOT a good doctor. More on her later. After a couple of hours, they took me back for a blood panel so they could do a CT scan w/contrast completely skipping an ultrasound then an MRI w/contrast. The phlebotomist was good. I told them I was freezing and could I please have a blanket, & I hadn't eaten all day; could I have a sandwich. The doctor, whom I already went over all of my health issues, asked, "What if I got you a full meal instead?" I again had to remind her that I was on the FOD map diet for my IBS and could I just please have the plain sandwich and the blanket. This is now the second or third time asking for these things. She said she'd check on these. She and her attending both examined me, pushed very hard on the painful area. If it had been a clot, it could have broken apart & killed me. I finally got my blanket about 6 hours later. Still no sandwich. The female doctor/attending sucked & said if I was nauseous, I would have to keep the oversalted crackers down, which I did, then I could have a sandwich. I ate one pack, stopped, & was so angry thinking, "Does she think she's my mom?" I know my body & have been through enough things that I know what I best respond to. My husband found someone & told him what the m.d. said and could he please bring me sandwich. He said he would check on it. That was all of their responses. You would have thought that their sandwiches were on lockdown. In the meantime, I was in the main waiting room w/10-15 people vomiting non-stop. Finally, it was my time to go to the CT scan room, which I didn't get because someone was stroking out. Understandable. So I asked if I could have my sandwich while I was waiting because they were giving me strong pain medicine, & I still had to take my own, so I needed something in my stomach to help with the acids. "I'll go check on it." They rolled me into the inner waiting room left me facing the wall because I was apparently their prisoner except for no bread or water. When it was finally time to take me to the CT room, I asked about the Zofran, AGAIN, because I know how nauseous the contrast makes me. OOPS! They forgot to order it, so I had to go back to my prison cell. At least this time, they left me facing my husband who again asked about my sandwich. "I'll go check on it." At least an hour later, they finally got the Zofran and were able to take me to the CT room. Brian, the assistant was very nice and patient. He even offered to replace my blanket with a warmer one. When my husband asked him about my sandwich, he said, "I'll go check on it." The actual technician in the white lab coat was a little too in my face and rushing me. I COULDN'T MOVE MY LEG; I WAS DOING THE BEST I COULD! They rolled me to the main waiting room w/all of the vomiting people. After an hour or two, they came to get me just to put me in back in my prison cell. My husband had to go let our dogs out and feed them & asked again before he left about my sandwich.. "I'll go check on it." I was in the little waiting room at 3:00a.m. by myself & didn't sleep because I didn't trust these people. Meanwhile, the new RN's or MA's, (I couldn't tell which from their lack of professionalism) just kept flirting with the married NP who's ego got bigger with their many questions he answered. They could have researched on their own. I waited until 5:00a.m. because everyone kept ignoring me. Since no M.D. or P.A. was present, just an N.P. who was basically in front of me but never checked on me nor made eye contact w/me in those two hours, I finally asked very loudly "Is anyone going to tell me what's going on with me?" No response. A few minutes later, the N.P. shouted back (HIPPA), "I just now got your test results," (right) "and I'll go over the results, discharge paperwork, and any notes for work," but he just handed them to me. Luckily, I'm have a pre-nursing AA along w/a bunch of certs since I had to read them on my own. He said he would remove my port I reminded them I had because I know they would have left it in. I was already taking it out when he said he could do that. The CT scan was clear. I said, "doesn't explain my symptoms". Him, "Maybe we should run more tests. Which ones?" I asked to be rolled out. I'll go to the pro's to figure this out. Never got my damn sandwich!
