Proof Dr. Doraiswamy actually sit with patients each & every visit!

Cancer is a thief, it's no fun & I hate it. I was referred to Dr. Doraiswamy's office by my Pulmonologist Dr. Lee. My first visit with Dr. Doraiswamy was pleasant. She sat with me and answered all my questions pertaining to my lung cancer diagnosis. Each & every visit she makes sure she sit with ALL the patients and literally hold your hand if necessary. She is smart & intelligent and she gave me an article from the New England Journal of Medicine directly related to her plan for me! She communicates direc with my other doctors to stay on the same page ( I mean what can you ask for)....Thzz as td not the best part of this office. Their billing person automatically signed me up for grants that paid my medicine co-pay and brome current on my out of pocket with my insurance company. Her Medical Assistant makes sure to see me when I am in office ALL the staff simply waits on you hand and feet! Any reviews contrary to my review would be a flat out lie because these people really take care of you. Z the letter "C" in their name CCare should stand for "Complete"!

Absolutely my kind of no non-sense doctor! First time patient and she was thorough and thoughtful…read more Dr. Freyne patiently listened and responded without diminishing my thoughts or suggestions based upon some of the research I had done. I love that the office can conveniently handle blood work and injections without sending me elsewhere. I arrived a few minutes early for my appointment with my new client paperwork completed ahead of time, ready to submit and the receptionist let me know there were two people ahead of me. True to form I watched two people go in and within ten minutes or so of my appointment time I was called back. I was in and out, paperwork completed, history and discussion about my medical issues resolved, blood drawn for lab work and injection done to help my particular ailment within 46 minutes flat! Thank you for everything Dr. Freyne! I won't hesitate to recommend you to everyone I know in the area.

My husband was referred to Dr. Freyne from our primary. I read her reviews but took them with a…read moregrain of salt. He's seen her twice so far and I've been there with him. Dr. Freyne is an excellent Doctor in my opinion. I've been to a handful of Rheumatologists and she is better than anyone in this area. She's very thorough and knows her stuff. She's straightforward and gets what needs to be done, done. She has given my husband great care. The office is clean and organized and the front desk woman is very helpful and sweet. So far the two nurses he's had were great too. The reason for the 4 is because it is VERY hard to get a hold of anyone in charge of the referrals and if you ask the front office to take a message they say they can't. I left 2 voicemails and never got a call back. Frustrated is an understatement. Overall I do recommend Dr. Freyne as a Rheumatologist.

I'm so glad that I researched long and hard to find Dr. Matta...another plus for even accepting new…read morepatients. I absolutely hate going to the doctor and it drives my anxiety through the roof just thinking about it. Haven't been to a doctor since my OBGYN when I had my baby almost two years ago and knew that I needed a checkup! She is so sweet and friendly and puts you at ease, there was a nurse there as well (I believe his name was Joel) who was also awesome. I loved the feeling of not being "judged" as I answered all the basic health questions. Dr. Matta has an excellent bedside disposition and calmly answered all my questions without making me feel rushed. She patiently listened to all my concerns without making me feel paranoid and ordered a full blood panel to check all my numbers. I am so lucky to have found her and I'm hoping I can continue with their practice for years to come. Thank you so much for your excellent service!

So my impression is that Dr. Matta is a fabulous Doctor, but she is 100% hindered by the operations…read moreof her office. The office is either severely understaffed or mismanaged. There is a lack of operational efficiency at every turn. Enough to warrant a poor review on Yelp which I hate doing but people....BE WARNED especially if you are expecting timely service while trying to address a health issue. Calling the office is an infinite hold queue that EASILY exceeds 30 minutes. I did my best to give the benefit of the doubt that it was just a busy day but I am now on my 5th attempt to contact this office and my hold time today exceed 41 minutes before I gave up. Our 1st telehealth appointment was confusing, Dr. Matta was late, then there were zero instructions on how to obtain scripts for labs. We weren't informed which lab the requests were sent to. Since you can't efficiently get ahold of anyone on the phone this required my husband to make an extra trip to drive across town to find out in person. Now let's chat about the Patient Portal where we messaged the Doctor on February 11th and the office did not return our call/message for A MONTH. 2nd appointment. Our $100 copay was conveniently collected but our appointment time came and went with zero communication from the office. I remained in a hold queue for 30 minutes, about to hang up when a text comes through with a Zoom link. Dinner is now cold, there is zero respect for patient time and I am expected to join this call as if I was not just completely inconvenienced at the cost of $100. At the end of the day we are all trying to navigate a broken system. Practices that have zero respect for patient time are not helping. I can't in good faith recommend this office with my recent experience that spanned over a few months.

After more than 10 years as a patient at Dr. Black's practice, I realized something surprising...I…read morehad never taken the time to leave the review they truly deserve. Like most people, life gets busy. Between work, family, and everything else, writing reviews tends to fall to the bottom of the list. Fortunately, this one is easy. From the moment you walk through the door, you're treated with professionalism, kindness, and genuine care. The front office staff and the medical team consistently deliver an exceptional experience. They are knowledgeable, efficient, compassionate, and organized, making every visit as smooth and stress-free as possible. Over the years, changes in my health insurance have given me several opportunities to choose a different primary care physician. Every single time, I have gone out of my way to stay with Dr. Black and this incredible team. That decision has never been difficult because the level of care they provide is simply unmatched. Finding outstanding medical treatment is one thing. Finding outstanding medical treatment paired with customer service that is warm, respectful, and consistently above and beyond is something truly special. It's rare these days, but this practice proves it still exists. A special thank you to Holly, Susie, and Jamie. Your kindness, professionalism, and dedication never go unnoticed. You each play a huge role in making patients feel welcomed, cared for, and valued. You ladies absolutely rock! Thank you, Dr. Black and your entire team, for more than a decade of exceptional care. You have earned not only my trust and loyalty, but also my highest recommendation. Jaimee Flores

I am so blessed that I am going to this practice. Danielle Contreras, NP and Dr. Z are AWESOME!!!…read more They are so kind and extremely professional and take the time to talk to you, Dr. Z spent 45 minutes with me yesterday and she actually cares about not only your physical health but mental health, as well. It's been my experience, that doctors are not thinking of their patients needs, but how many test they can put you through, I believe that's how they make some of their money. Dr. Z (Zickafoose) is my Primary and she was referred to me by a good friend. I have never been so happy as I am with this super professional and kind practice. My last doctor, stared at his computer and never really acknowledged me. And it was always a rushed appointment it seems.... TELE visits were a 3 minute phone call. Danielle Contreras, NP was very thorough with my TELE visit and she did it via video conference, I was so happy I didn't have to drag myself out of bed and she took her time. To say I am beyond thrilled would be an understatement.

I went to the Temecula office I've always used, only to be told I was at the wrong location. At no point was I informed that my appointment location had changed. To make matters worse, they had also switched my doctor without communicating that to me either. After rearranging my schedule and coming back for another appointment, I was checked in, taken to an exam room, and then left there for over 30 minutes past my appointment time with no updates or explanation. I understand that medical offices can run behind, but basic communication and respect for a patient's time should be expected. The biggest frustration is that this practice has become so large and corporate that it's nearly impossible to speak with a real person. Getting answers or resolving simple issues feels impossible. What was once a practice I trusted has become one of the most frustrating healthcare experiences I've had. Poor communication, scheduling mistakes, last-minute provider changes, and long unexplained wait times have convinced me it's time to find a new primary care physician. I sincerely hope they take a hard look at how they treat their patients because the level of customer service has declined dramatically.

I requested a colon cancer screening because of my family history, and what should've been a simple process turned into almost three weeks of confusion, wasted trips, and constantly having to follow up myself. On October 7, I went to Labcorp, where I normally get my bloodwork done, only to find out they never received my order and didn't even offer the Shield test I was requesting. After struggling to get through the office's frustrating AI phone system, someone in the backroom named Mackenzie Thomas finally told me my order was actually sent to Quest. So I drove to Quest, waited again, and was told I needed a special kit from my doctor's office. Why wasn't I told any of this from the beginning? I had to call AGAIN just to find out the kit was sitting at their office. On October 9, I returned to Quest with the kit, waited all over again, and found out my insurance didn't cover the test there. I called Mackenzie while I was still at Quest, and she suggested I go back to Labcorp. But I had already explained that Labcorp didn't offer the test. At that point, it honestly felt like she was just guessing instead of taking the time to figure things out properly. I was eventually told I could do the blood draw at their office, which would've been a helpful suggestion from the beginning. But unfortunately, I've had multiple bad experiences with their blood draws, including blacking out each and every appointment, which is why I prefer going to outside labs. I've never had an issue getting my blood drawn at those labs. And I never gave anyone at the doctor's office a hard time despite them not being able to draw my blood properly. I eventually spoke with Ashlyn, who said she would look into everything and follow up. A whole week passed with nothing. I called again on October 16, and she told me she'd figured out a screening option that worked with my insurance and that someone would send me the updated paperwork that afternoon. Nobody did. By October 19, I was STILL the one calling for updates. What bothered me even more was that the staff seemed frustrated with me for repeatedly calling only this one day. It's been almost 3 WEEKS now. What else was I supposed to do? They don't seem to mind keeping me waiting. I gave them an entire week to follow up. I wasn't calling to micromanage anyone. I was calling because they kept telling me someone would get back to me, and nobody ever did. I have always been respectful toward the front desk, and I understand they're not responsible for the administrative mistakes. After all that, A woman named Rochelle finally told me that my orders were sent to Labcorp. I of course wanted a copy (something I asked for in the very beginning) even now, as a way to make sure I will be sent to the proper place. I asked if theres anything else I needed to know ahead of time from that previous experience. She just repeated "I just sent a digital copy to your email." After the call, I checked my inbox, spam, junk, and trash folders, and there was NOTHING. No email. I understand medical offices get busy. But I'm a patient too, and I have my own schedule. I shouldn't have to spend nearly three weeks driving between labs, wasting gas, sitting in waiting rooms, and chasing people down just to get the correct information for a screening I requested in the first place. This was a matter that could had been done in ONE day. And THEY'RE the ones who are FRUSTRATED when I'm following up. I've always been cooperative with this office, but I've reached a point where I no longer feel confident trusting their administrative staff with my healthcare needs. I genuinely like Dr. Sandra but I've decided to switch doctors. This office is very disorganized. I hope Innovative Medical takes this as constructive feedback because patients shouldn't have to go through this much trouble. I care for my health this much.
