I was nervous because I hadnt had a colonoscopy in almost ten years so I was behind in having the procedure. But thanks to Dr. Shindell performing my colonoscopy in a manner that spared me of all the worry, stress and apprehension that goes along with the daunting thought of going through a not so pleasant but mandatory experiences, I weathered the storm. And a few days later i got the good news from the office receptionist Kary Guzman, who was the first to tell me, with a congratulatory tone in her voice, that my results came back favorably and that I didn't need not return for another 7 to 10 years. I told Kary she was my Angel because she lightened my cares and made my day. Thank you Dr. Shindell for taking good care of me. It's apparent to me that she genuinely cares people. Kary represents the best image of Dr. Shindell's Whittier clinic and you need 100 more like her.

My uncle died from esophagus cancer. When my mom went to see Dr. Lee for her first colonoscopy, Dr…read moreLee told my mom since she had acid reflux also her brother had esophagus cancer, he would advise to do a stomach scope when doing her colonoscopy. Luckily her colon was normal but her stomach scope showed Barrett's esophagus. Dr. Lee managed my Mom's Barrett's disease with a Japanese medicine. She has reversed to normal last week when Dr. Lee repeated her stomach scope. I noted dr. Lee had put extra effort to educate his patients about Barrett's disease and life style on his website. I really appreciate his passion in helping patients.

Office experience -- 0/10. The front desk lady who schedules appointments is extremely rude,…read moreunhelpful and disrespectful to patients. She was yelling at me and lecturing me -- unbelievable. She charged me $40 for a "missed" appointment which was completely their fault for not sending the Rx to the pharmacy on time. I kept following up everyday for 2 weeks ahead of the appointment to let them know the meds hadn't reached CVS only to hear "we just sent the prescription to your pharmacy, check again". After letting them know 2 days before the scheduled procedure that the medicine still didn't reach the pharmacy and if we should reschedule the appointment they said they'll call me back to confirm. No calls were ever made to me and the day before the appointment I called them again to follow up and they said we'll have to reschedule because there isn't enough time to prepare and added $40 as penalty for not giving them an advance notice. I called my PCP to report this and request a different referral. While Dr. Mecum is wonderful as a caregiver, his staff is ruining his reputation and name. I will not be going back to him as a patient unless he fires his front desk appointment manager.

I was especially impressed by the dedication of the Program Navigator Magda Griego who was very responsible and kind. She was very helpful starting from the minute I made my appointment.

Been calling since last week only to be told Dr Pande didn't give me a prescription & was told he only recommended surgery as my option. YET I dropped off a hand written scrip at a pharmacy on 2/24 that is not covered by my insurance THATS WHY I'm calling to get an alternative scrip that only the Dr can give. When I've gotten thru I've spoken to 2 women, only got 1 name- Esly. It is obvious staff is lazy and doesn't want to do their job. Moving on getting a second opinion else where! DO BETTER PEOPLE!

Dr Lah is an awful physician. He was my doctor from January 2010 to July 2011. He was the reason…read morewhy my health declined for the year and a half that I saw him until the point when I had to have colorectal surgery. He kept on telling me to stay on the same regime of medication that had proven to be ineffective and eventually there was so much damage to my intestine where I needed to have surgery. He also would only see me for about 1 to 2 minutes each appointment, which showed me that his office was just in it to see as many patients as they could in a day to make more money. For everyone looking for an gastroenterologist, don't bother seeing this guy. He will screw you over royally.

This review is specifically for Dr. John Lah. My husband seen this doctor only because Dr. Neal…read moreShindel was not available and he had to be seen right away as it was for a follow up from a hospital stay. Dr. Lah seemed quite bothered with the fact that he had to see another doctor's patient....and he didn't hide his feelings about this. He was very rude, arrogant and had terrible bedside manner. Everything that he said he was going to do (follow up after labs and call back with results) was not done. When my husband called the doctors office to follow up on results, the staff said there was no lab results. He was told that they would find out the status and call him back. He never received calls back (even weeks after the tests were done) and kept calling back and got the same response every time. The only reason my husband would go back would be to specifically see Dr. Shindel. These two doctors are like night and day and I would absolutely recommend Dr. Shindel (if you can get an appointment to see him.)

DO NOT SEE DR. SCOTT SAINBURG!!…read more Completely rude and judge-mental. I was admitted to the ER prior and the doctors wanted a GI to do tests and look at me. He refused to do any test. Refused to look at the medical records. Claimed the ER doctors know nothing and it would be useless to look at their findings. Then he did nothing but lecture me on life. The whole time looking me straight in eye with a smirk, like he was waiting to see my reaction. Like he enjoyed it. Not only was he rude and unprofessional, he kept asking questions about my personal life totally unrelated to the medical conditions. I have filed a complaint with the office manager, my insurance, as well as my primary physician. I'm hoping to stop anyone from seeing him until he gets treatment or changes his behavior. He did nothing to help nor did he even try.
