My husband has been seeing Dr. Reehal for over 10 years for his RA and loves him. However, the Dr just moved to a new office at Keck and we got billed over $2,000 for a 10 min office visit, including a cortisone injection (he's had this done many times at the old office). We've never been charged much for this same thing since we have PPO insurance. Billing is treating it as a hospital visit though this was the Dr office. No one has been able to help us. At the very least, tell us up front that it will cost $$$$$ for the visit. Then we would not have made the appointment! I cannot believe we are being treated this way. Beware! read more

I am incredibly grateful that a second opinion referral led me to Dr. Reehal. I have a complex medical diagnosis that's been difficult to treat. Dr. Reehal is by far the most humble, compassionate, and caring practitioner I have ever worked with. In our first meeting he had clearly read through my medical details so we could have a productive conversation. He has actively pursued collaboration with several other specialists, visited me in the hospital and ensured that I was receiving adequate care, and he's extremely accessible and communicative. If he says he's going to follow up with me, he does. Nothing falls through the cracks. He genuinely wants to learn from my condition and help me and his concern for my well being is very clear. This is in stark contrast to most experiences I have had with other doctors. It's not only refreshing, but emotional. With the level of physical decline I am experiencing, I would expect to feel hopeless, but Dr. Reehal gives me hope. I would recommend him without reservation. read more

I've seen Dr. Reehal on and off for the past 10 years or so. We started off OK, but at one point, I went to see him and asked if some symptoms I was having could've been related to my having lupus. He sort of snarled at me "who told you that you had lupus?". I answered back "YOU did". He obviously hadn't bothered to check my chart before our appointment. Then after a while, when it turned out that I wasn't able to tolerate any of the drugs he kept pushing on me, I just gave up going to him. A few years later, my primary doctor convinced me that I should give him another try, so I went to see him again. We had a couple of OK visits, but actually the only reason I continued to see him was because he gave me Cortisone shots in my knees. When we did talk about my immune system problems, he started trying to convince me to take some of the drugs that I had already tried in the past and couldn't tolerate. When I tried to remind him of that, he started yelling at me to stop interrupting him, to stop arguing. I tried to explain that we had already covered all of this previously, that I wasn't arguing I was just trying to clear some things up. He was just horrible. Horrible. It's been a few years now, and I don't remember exactly how our conversation went, but he was extremely abusive. Wouldn't allow me to talk, accused me of arguing with him, was extremely condescending and just generally abusive and unprofessional. I managed to see him a few more times without any problems, but I always felt like I was walking on eggshells. That if I said one wrong thing, he would go on the attack. He's got this artificial niceness that always kind of gave me the creeps, but I didn't really know why until I realized that it's just a thin veneer. Underneath his pleasantness is a hyper- sensitive snarling beast. Maybe he's just incredibly insecure and defensive. I don't know. Anyway, today, I had another visit with him. Things went OK..... until I guess I asked him one too many questions. Because suddenly he turned into that same accusatory, defensive, condescending a-hole once again. He claimed I was arguing with him and that he had so many years of experience and he knows what he's doing. (How dare you question me!) But all I was doing was asking him a question about a prescription! Anyway, as it turns out he's leaving this office, leaving United Healthcare and Optum, and is going to be working for USC in Pasadena. I am so glad to say goodbye to this jerk. I just feel sorry for any patients who may come across him in the future. If you happen to read this review and are looking for a good doctor, I would keep looking. I don't know if he just has a problem with women, but I do kind of feel like that might be part of it. As long as we're quiet and subservient, maybe it's OK. But don't try to ask questions or speak your mind! Sorry this is so long but I've been upset all day and now I can't go to sleep and I thought maybe writing this review would help. Thanks for reading. read more

Dr. Reehal, is a wonderful and a great specialist. His dedication, compassion and expertise make a differencein patient care. I truly appreciate the care he and his team provide. read more

Not only is he very professional and knowledgeable and knowledgeable this man is personable..... Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care. I found him to be respectful of my time. I am on time for my appointments He is always on time with knocking on the door. He spends enough time with me letting me you know that there is a connection & care. I've have nothing but positive things to say about this doctor. He has help me tremendously when it comes to my osteoarthritis... read more

I have been seeing Dr Reehal for more than 10 years and I cannot highly recommend him enough. He listens to my concerns and does his best to alleviate any pain I'm having. He is very personable and very understanding. read more

Dr. Reehal has always been kind, considerate, and listens to what I have to say. He is always friendly. All the people that I have interacted with on his staff have been kind and gentle. One thing to remember - this facility - as most - can get pretty busy and not have the time to chat. I hope that he can always be my doctor. I feel better after having visited him. read more

He is so busy that your first appointment as new patient will take a couple of months+. Then any following appointments will take at least a month+ after that. As a rheumatologist, he'd make patients with various pain issues wait for a whole month+ before they can go see him? What if they need injections or some medications to help with pain??!? He needs to be more available before I'd consider seeing him, nooo thank you. read more

This is just based on the 3 month wait to see him. I called on Feb 6 and earliest appt. was May 21. What??! I'm in pain and now i have to suffer for 3 months before i possibly get some relief?? This is ridiculous. read more

Dr. Reehal cares about his patients. I can tell from meeting him, the questions he asked, his efforts in educating me in what I had, his communication with another doctor (dermatologist) and his follow-up call to give me results of my blood work. His actions speaks his intention and care. He is how a doctor should be, knowledgeable, caring with follow through. read more

Dr. Reehal is an amazing doctor. He advocated for my husband in such a way that it got the attention of other doctors to take my husband's symptoms seriously and he did not give two f's if the other doctors thought he was crazy. He did what he had to do to get my husband the care he needed, even if it meant getting him transferred away from the hospital where he had privileges. If it wasn't for his tenacity and care, my husband wouldn't be alive now. He is the most compassionate and thorough doctor I have ever been in contact with, and trust me there's been a lot. I'm so thankful and grateful for him! read more

I would just like to say that Dr.V. Reehal has to be the most caring doctor I have ever met. He is pleasant, informative and goes above and beyond to assure that your medical needs are met and if he doesn't know at that time he will do the research to answer your questions. Other physicians often comment on how easy it is for them to communicate with him. Whenever my wife is having issues with her rare and complex conditions he is always available for her. Even if he is on his way out of town he will make sure he that the proper medical expertise is available. He is definitely a God send. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a rheumatologist. read more

I agree with a previous reviewer. This doctor was rude, condescending and extremely arrogant. He did not ask any questions, was not interested in stopping his own talking to listen to what I actually had to say and when I tried anyway, just talked over me. His instant 'diagnosis' seemed purely based on my age and gender. No blood tests, no physical examination, I was in and out in 10 minutes and was wondering what I even paid the co-pay for. What a waste of time! It was outrageous. read more

Zero bedside manners. Incapable of connecting with a variety of different personalities in clients, being empathetic, completely impatient, rude, curt, dismissive and treats patients like they are trash. I was warned by other doctors in other fields that this doctor is rude and doesn't treat patients with kindness or any patience. I went anyway because of the high ANA levels and autoimmune possibilities but my blood stated the one he diagnosed me with in his office that I didn't have Sjogrens as did my primary MD'd blood work too. When I questioned this doctor Reehal he snapped at me and repeatedly kept saying "you need to calm down" over and over just by asking a lot of questions and having anxiety which any patient would have. If you want a doctor who has zero bed side manners, zero empathy, zero background on patient personality diversity, someone with a misplaced ego and treats you like crap-Dr Reehal is the one. Proceed with caution. read more

Hands down the best doctor. I was diagnosed with an Autoimmune Disease in my mid-20's. Luckily I was referred to him by The Urgent Care Doctor which I had to go due to severe pain. Dr. Reehal went above and beyond to help me throughout getting the right medication that worked for me. He also helped me get through the most painful times in my life due the pain I suffered due to inflammation. One time I was so bad he actually met me and my husband at an Urgent Care on a weekend to help me with the severe inflammation. I was monitored carefully throughout my 2 pregnancies and post par-tum when flares occurred. I am going on 7 yrs since being diagnosed by Dr. Reehal. After 7 yrs I think I owe him the review he deserves. I cannot express the gratitude I have for this Doctor. Keep doing what you do Dr. Reehal! World needs more doctors like you. read more

Terrible customer service and NO etiquette skills what so ever. STAFF SEEM OVERWHELMED WITH PEOPLE CALLING. Put me on hold without saying hello is Rude. I GET WE ARE in a pandemic but don't take your stress out on others OR FIND ANOTHER JOB read more

Dr. Reehal is one of the best providers I've came across. He has gone above and beyond for my scleritis condition. He communicates during and off business hours to follow up. I appreciate him going out of his way knowing he's a busy man to try and getting me approved for needed treatment to help my pain and condition. I couldn't be more thankful to have been referred to him by my ophthalmologist. Anyone in need of a rheumatologist, this is the provider you need. read more

Dr Reehal is extremely patient and explained things so clearly to us. I appreciated that he always spent time to respond to any questions or concerns, and we never felt rushed. He is very quick to respond to any questions, concerns outside of office visits as well. Wonderful experience, very knowledgable and experienced physician. read more

Dr. Reehal is a joke. I came in with an ailment and he couldn't figure out what I have. He then showed me what he think it was on DermNet! I was so pissed I waited two months to see him and still don't have an answer. My time is just as important, doctor! He suggested a follow up but I would rather see a witch doctor. read more

Dr. Reehal has been a life saver. Great bedside manner. He has gone above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to my care. Even though he is busy, when he meets with you , he makes you feel like you are the only patient. I found Dr Reehal to be kind, compassionate, intelligent and willing to take that extra step to help his patients Since getting sick, I have seen lots of doctors.....it is always a relief to be seen by Dr Reehal, he is honest and willing to think outside of the box to help his patients. I am grateful to have been referred to him and would gladly recommend him to anyone struggling with their health. He has been Heaven sent and I am forever grateful. read more

Is thoughtful, respectful and KIND. Has never rushed me through an appointment; and has always reread my chart before coming in to see me. Few HMO doctors give patients this kind of time any more! read more

My first appointment went very well, I actually liked Dr. Reehal and how he listened to my symptoms. He seemed caring & interested in helping me with my fibromyalgia. However, due to covid the next several appointments were by phone and Dr. Reehal fell off my pedestal. He seemed uninterested & in a hurry every time. He would ask how I was feeling, I would start to answer and he would cut me off. The last appointment though was what really made me leave this review. He was calling me to verify information while filling out some disability forms. I wanted to advise him that I now had new symptoms and that I wouldn't be able to go work yet but again he cut me off and told me "you're not going to get better if you don't do anything about it." I told him ( in a nice way although I was angry) that he was the doctor and if he didn't give me any treatment but rather just increased the dosis of my medication he was right in saying I would not get better. He showed no empathy whatsoever.Needless to say, I have cancelled further appointments with Dr. Reehal & will no longer require his services. read more

Dr. Reehal is wonderful. He is efficient and knowledgeable but best of all, he really cares about his patients. When my lupus has flared, he has gone out of his way to call and check in and figure out how best to treat the flare. I was hospitalized during my pregnancy for something that had nothing to do with my lupus and he still came to the hospital multiple times to check in. I am very grateful for his expertise and care. read more

Before meeting Dr. Reehal my immune system would crash all the time landing me in the hospital. Dr. Reehal has helped me regain a great deal of my life back and my immune system has relaxed considerably. I am truly blessed to have found this doctor. I'm so grateful that Dr. Banta referred me to Dr. Reehal. read more

I am a registered nurse and over the the course of my career, I have known many doctors. I was fortunate to meet Dr. Reehal when I was hospitalized for six months and without his extensive knowledge, I would have died. All of the other doctors did not figure out what illness I had, so they did not know how to treat it. Dr. Reehal was called in to take the place of my other Rheumatologist and when he read my history and saw what was happening to me, he immediately gave my the proper treatment that saved my life. Almost one year later and I am standing, walking, eating a normal diet, having fun. All of this would not have been possible if it wasn't for him. is a very compassionate and caring doctor that takes him time to answer all of my questions. He is not afraid to go above and beyond to get the the medical services you require. I have the utmost respect for him. Dr. Reehal is one of the best doctors that I have ever known. He is still following up with me to this day. He makes sure that I am well taken care of. When I was hospitalized for 6 months, because of my type of illness, I saw may different types of doctors from Methodist and Huntington. Although they were all great and treated me well, Dr. Reehal was the one that gave me the most attention. I found that not only is Dr. Reehal a great doctor, but his staff is really nice and I feel very comfortable with the service that they provide. Thank you Dr. Reehal!!! read more
