Review for Dr. Raymond Chang's Office…read more I never got the chance to see Dr. Chang--not for lack of trying. I attempted multiple times to schedule an appointment, but each time I provided all the necessary information (insurance, date of birth, address), the front desk staff disconnected me or failed to follow through. It felt like I was starting from scratch every time, only to be cut off again. This kind of disorganized and dismissive treatment from the front office is deeply frustrating and frankly unacceptable. If this is the level of professionalism before even stepping into the clinic, it raises serious concerns about how patients are treated once they're actually under care. I've given up trying to get an appointment. A medical practice should be accessible and respectful from the first point of contact. Sadly, this experience was anything but. I will go into the office to give my information if they want to call me with a day and time. email sharmcressey@cs.com 714-335-4461

I was first referred to Dr. Labovitch in 2009 when I was 68 y.o., for a torn rotator cuff and a…read morefractured greater tuberosity (bone) from an ice-skating accident. My goal was to regain 100% range of motion so I could resume my normal activities including my exercise regimen comprising dumbbells and chinning bar. I had spoken to a neighbor older than me who had a torn rotator cuff repaired and could not reach up much above her shoulder. That was not for me. I knew that young people and sports people required 100% restoration while old people probably did not care as much. My research of Dr. Labovitch revealed that he was a sports medicine physician. Sports people with an injury don't want to have any limitations after treatment, so that was the best sign that Dr. Labovitch was the orthopedic surgeon for me. When I went to his office, I gained my ultimate confidence when his waiting room was filled mostly with young people. My surgery was successful, and although it took a bit (maybe 9 months) of expected rehab effort on my part, done partly at home, I regained 100% range of motion, and my arm and shoulder felt no different from the way it was before my accident. I had several subsequent visits to Dr. Labovitch for different issues, and each time his diagnosis was perfect and my recovery complete and uneventful. When requiring PT I always went to California Rehabilitation & Sports Therapy at 36 Mauchly in Irvine, run by Anthony Bisaccia, who is very competent, has a great team, and is wonderful to work with.

A few years ago when Dr Labovitch was in Newport Beach, I came in to have my shoulder looked at…read more They wanted to do an X Ray. The technician that did the X Ray was a young woman who did not give me a lead protection cover for my body. I asked her if I needed one and she said "No, you used to need one, but these days the machines are more advanced". But I chose to ask for one anyway. I just wanted to post this review because I don't think what I was told was correct. So the office manager should make sure their staff is protecting their patients during every X Ray. This is why I gave only a 2 Star rating. But they are good and Dr Labovitch is knowledgeable and nice.

Poor listening skills. Poor bedside manner. Rude. Started yelling at me because I take vitamins and…read moresupplements -- yes, Omega 3s. He literally asked who told me to take them, said no real doctor ever would, and demanded to call them on the spot. Then lectured me about how "no supplements are FDA approved" and asked if I just Googled my symptoms. One of the worst experiences I've ever had with a doctor. He left saying there's "nothing he can do for me" unless I'm hospitalized, then just walked out with the door wide open. I sat there for several minutes, confused, before realizing no one was coming back. When I went to find someone, I was told I'd already been checked out -- no one even told me. I left feeling disrespected, embarrassed, and completely unheard. If you're looking for a doctor who listens or treats you like a human being -- keep looking.

My girlfriend referred me to Dr. Wadell. Best thing she's ever done for me. Dr. Wadell is like…read moreone of those doctors you see on TV...only better. He's attentive, thorough, has a great personality and a great staff. His assistant, Michelle, has been very patient, along with the rest of the staff, while this rookie learns the ropes. Dr. Wadell even called my home with test results. I almost fell off my chair.... I delayed going to a big medical practice like MIMG for years. I didn't want to be just another medical record. But Dr. Wadell makes his patients feel like they are getting old fashioned medical care. Plus he's young, so he'll be around a long time while I grow old. Yikes...did I just say the "o" word? Oh well, getting old doesn't seem so bleak now that I've found Dr. Wadell and MIMG.

When returning to Southern California, from Indianapolis, I was thrilled to be able to see Dr…read more Ludema once again, eight years later. He is one of the "old school" physicians who cares about his patients, beyond simply typing upon a computer screen during the visit. (Like my dad, who was also a physician for obviously many years, he still uses the charts, with hand written notes, and test results within.) I highly recommend him, as he makes sure his patients have the tests they need, and responds quickly once receiving the results. Also, like the "old school" physicians, he visits his patients when they are in the hospital for other health issuses, when he is doing rounds within that particular hospital. His patients are important. If you need a neurologist, he is sincerely is the doctor to see.

Even wheeling me into the tiny room for the procedure from their ridiculously SMALL rooms... I & my bed were banged not once, or twice, but THREE TIMES into a wall and/or door as nervous & sick as I was to deal with that, with no apologies. GET THIS= NO! anesthesia given except by a nurse (except drugs only) & you can scream throughout the entire procedure & "HE" will ask the nurse to drown out your cries by turning up "HIS" music so he can do HIS thing. Felt like date rape!! He couldn't care less & please don't be fooled by his picture & or smile. Ugh! No privacy either. Inches of curtains in between patients & you can hear EVERYONE'S private information & their diagnosis. Disgusting experience which left me with PTSD!

It was after that I saw Dr Kawanishi ,who is in the same office. I cannot recommend this doctor highly enough. He had an ultrasound vein mapping done of my legs and some specialized test involving the chambers of my heart looking for a defect. There was none. However he did find some deep veins that were impairing the blood flow back to my heart which is why I passed out. i am still recovering from the concussion and have balance problems for which I am getting therapy. I use support hose and a cane and some exercises he recommended. I can't thank Dr. Kawanishi enough for how well he explained things to me and patiently answered my questions. I would recommend him without reservation for any vascular problems you might have.
