Dr…read more Shandling's office registered the device under my information with iRhythm technologies even though I had not been seen in that office since 2010. As I had moved out of the area 15 years prior, I never received any bill and the bill was sent to collections. It took multiple phone calls over several days to get anyone to help look into this case. Finally, the billing manager at Dr. Shandling's office admitted that someone entered my information instead of the correct patient's information so I was being billed for the service that patient received. I don't understand how this could have happened as I had not visited that office for 15 years, my chart should have been archived. There was no mention of how this happened or what would be done to prevent it from happening again. I'd think twice about coming here as mixing patient information is a serious concern and there were no/insufficient checks in place to ensure the correct information was entered. UPDATE: As of 05/21/2025, the balance from the collections company is still showing. Additionally, Dr. Shandling's office forwarded an email that inadvertently revealed the other patient's information including date of service, prescription number, device serial number, patient name, patient DOB, patient's insurance company, and patient's insurance ID number. This is a HIPAA violation. I have yet to receive confirmation that all records have been amended and reflect the correct information.

I scheduled appointments for both myself and my fiancé with Dr. Pepitone because we moved to…read moreCalifornia a few months ago and were looking for a trustworthy, experienced, general practitioner. I spent a lot of time reading reviews online on United HealthCare's website. I particularly liked that Dr. Pepitone studied at Rush University, I also really liked that he is not a brand new/ very young Dr. because this translates to him having many years of experience which translates to a benefit for (us) his patients. Both my fiancé and I had really a good experience with Dr. Pepitone and the rest of the staff at Healthcare Partners. I arrived 15 minutes early to fill out the new patient paper work. The nurse called me back 5 minutes before my scheduled appointment time to weigh me and get my vitals. Dr. Pepitone saw me a few minutes after that (right on time). He listened carefully to my health history and made notes while we were talking. He asked me questions to get an idea of my overall health. I have had a chronic health condition for the last 10 years and while going through my list of current medications Dr. Pepitone pointed out that the steroid nose spray ( Flonase) that I was currently taking could be contributing to this on going issue. I was so surprised to hear this, considering that all my other physicians had never made that connection or mentioned the serious side effects of this steroid nose spray to me. (I had been taking Flonase daily for the last 6 years) Dr. Pepitone prescribed a non steroid nose spray for my servere allergies. My overall impression of Dr. Pepitone is that he is a friendly, knowledgeable and caring physician with a very pleasant upbeat demeanor. After my appointment I met with the patient liaison who explained the benefits of Health Care Partners Medical Group. She explained how to sign up for the patient portal and how this platform gives patients direct access to email their Dr. and receive their results. She also gave me some literature with useful information like the nearest urgent care to our home. She asked how my appointment went and if I had any additional questions or concerns. She explained where I could go to get my labs ( blood work) done. She also told me that they have in office phlebotomists should I prefer to have my blood drawn in the office. My degree is in microbiology and I have worked in the Healthcare/ medical field for over 12 years for big companies like Labcorp and Banner Health. Because of my career experience I have a thorough understanding of what good patient care is and how a good medical practice should operate. My experience with Dr. Pepitone was excellent and I would definitely recommend him and Healthcare Partners Medical Group.

I have low bone density and am prescribed an Evenity injection once per month. At my appointment, I was given a warning document for a completely different medication. This level of miscommunication between the doctor and nursing staff is unacceptable. Had I not questioned it, I could have received the wrong injection -- which is very concerning. Although I tried to move past that incident, I later received a prerecorded call cancelling my second dose (scheduled one month later) because I had "missed required lab work." I was never instructed to complete any lab tests prior to my second injection. This lack of communication directly impacted my treatment. Overall, this has been a very troubling experience. Patients should not have to double-check basic medical instructions to ensure their safety. Please be cautious, ask questions, and advocate for yourself or your loved ones -- especially if they cannot do so on their own.
