I shouldn't post this, as he is already so busy. HA! BUT.... Dr. Arora and his staff are A +++++. Kind and caring and take the time with each patient, thus makes him late for appointments. You are NOT just a number; you are a patient who needs help from a great physician. The care and consideration for patients is worth the wait. After a horrific experience with another pulmonologist, I was EVER so grateful to a friend for sharing Dr. A's name with me. I am grateful for finding Dr Arora for my care! Thank you for being the kind of doctor patients need!!!!!!!! Also, thanks to the staff for taking my calls and following through! read more

Love this office and staff. I usually see Kelly the PA, she is excellent and very thorough and patient. Suzie was extremely helpful and took care of my paperwork needs speedy quick. They are very cautious because of COVID, and they will take your Temperature and go the distance for your protection. read more

This Dr is so amazing all patients love him and the office staff is very kind. I bring a client to see him and she is always so happy to see him. read more

Highly highly recommend. Mention his name to anyone and they will say he is brilliant. Been seeing him forever. Literally trust him with my life. He has got me through some serious health problems over the years. He works a million hours. Would see me in the hospital late at night read more

Kelly you're the best, thanks for taking care of me Dr Arora and Kelly Are just the best at what they do. They sit and listen to you and all of your concerns they talk slowly and calmly to help reassure you. I'm so glad I found these two. There's nothing more frightening about medical problems, they are calm and collective and you just know that you're in the best hands when you see them. read more

If I could give 10+ stars I would. Dr. Arora and his staff are truly a rarity in today's medical industry. You can communicate with this office better than any other doctor's office I have ever dealt with over my past 50+ adult years. This is the only doctor's office I deal with who actually answers the phone when you call, rather than just being able to leave a voice message. When they call you back, and if you are not available, they extend the same courtesy and respect as to leave you a message including an answer to your question or request, rather than simply asking you to call them back. Most offices tell you they can't leave personal messages due to HIPPA rules, but Dr. Arora's office will communicate like any other business, which is exceptional to their industry. The office is filled with caring people who express that same spirit as Dr. Arora himself conveys. Most recently I experienced an emergency, and when I explained my urgency to one of his M.A.'s, she said she would contact him and to wait for his call, as he was in the ICU at that time. He called me back with 5 minutes, and after sharing with him he told me exactly what to do, and I was feeling better after taking the proper medication at that time. Dr Arora is not just a Pulmonologist, but also an Internist, as well as being the Chief doctor in charge of the ICU at our local hospital. I would not be surprised if he typically works about 120+ hours every week, and I believe he has not taken a vacation for over 6 years, while providing the most thorough follow-through of most doctors. Dr. Arora is the most intelligent, proficient diagnostician and doctor I have ever met. AND he has a sense of HUMOR! He is responsible for saving my life and providing me a 2nd chance to make myself the best man I can be. I am soo grateful for him, and anyone else who he calls on of his patients is very blessed as I am. Thank you and God bless you Dr. Arora!!! read more

Arora Ashim, MD - Pulmonologist Near Me - Simi Valley, California

Dr. Arora is kind, attentive and very patient. My daughter was seriously ill with a lung condition for almost a month. Once Dr. Arora came on the case, he prescribed her the correct medication and took utmost care in making sure her biopsy samples were sent to the right place to obtain a meaningful diagnosis. I cannot thank him enough. My daughter got to spend Christmas at home instead of at the hospital because of Dr. Arora. read more

I am in the healthcare field and have worked in a hospital setting with Dr Arora for years. He is very thorough and attentive in his approach which is why I chose him for my doctor. Heather, Dr Arora's PA, is great and the staff is professional. I have seen the staff deal with an individual that had unrealistic expectations, but was still addressed professionally. I would not hesitate in referring Dr Arora for your medical care. read more

I am not sure why Dr. Arora doesn't have 500 5 star reviews. We love Dr. Arora. He has been there for myself and my family for years. He is a phenomenally talented pulmonologist with a fantastic "bed side" manor. He listens to his patients and cares for them, as if they were his family. However, he could not do what he does, without the amazing support of his P.A.'s and his staff! Kelly is just awesome!! They do so much to support the patients, from making phone calls to fighting for prescriptions, scheduling and rescheduling appointments and so so much more!!!! They totally rock. Thank you Dr. Arora for all you do for us and for having such an amazing staff who greets us with smiles every time we walk in the door and kindness whenever we call!!! read more

Dr. Arora is an excellent doctor and so is his staff! He's saved my life more than once! He started out as my pulmonologist and ended up being both that and my primary doctor. I'm so lucky to have him! I would recommend him to anyone. He's so personable as well and I have the utmost respect for him! read more

Dr. Arora has been my primary doctor for about 10 years. After bouncing around Simi Valley in search of a great doctor I finally found Dr. Arora and his amazing staff. I was a very difficult lung case, and still am, but I knew that I could count on Dr. Arora and his staff to make sure I was taken care of. He has seen me through many hospital visits, procedures, and more. He has a great bedside manner- funny yet straightforward. You can tell he truly enjoys what he does and cares about his patients. Without him and his staff I would probably not be here so I appreciate them immensely. read more

Dr. Arora has been been pulmonary physician for 10 years and I can't say enough about him and his staff. He is the most passionate, hard working doctor that I've ever met. Just recently, Dr Arora saved my life by intervening and correcting my critical labs while in the hospital. He knows me so well, that although I seemed fine to the hospital staff, he knew that I was in terrible trouble. Everyone who sees him, loves him! read more

Dr. Arora is great. He and PA Hirsh may have helped saved my mother's life with thorough history, physical, and diagnostics that another doctor flat out missed x 2 years. Bottom line is if you need serious and / or general patient care go see them. As a side note: I would hate to be an MD in this day and age of having to please grumpy patients who can complain via various social media platforms. What many patients fail to realize is that the flaws of the healthcare system (i.e. difficulty with insurance payments / EMR) is not the fault of a competent MD like Dr. Arora and his staff. Furthermore, I don't need to be coddled and / or pampered by my healthcare practitioner. I'd rather he or she be excellent at diagnosis and treatment. Fortunately, Dr. Arora and team demonstrates both high medical IQ and solid bedside manner. He even dictated his Assessment and Plan with my mother in the room so we could listen in medical terms to exactly what was going on inside of her and how to fix it. I've rarely seen an MD display such compassionate transparency and I've been in EMS since 1995. Kudos to him and PA Hirsh. I appreciate their efforts and I know that many of us in this area are spoiled to have access to such high quality care. read more

Dr. Arora Ashim is a fantastic doctor. Caring, gentle, great sense of humor and simply amazing at his craft. If you have any kind of lung issue, it would be to your favor to make an appointment with him. He has a wonderful staff, as well. I am very particular about the doctors I see. I have the utmost respect for him. Thank you for being there for me, Dr. Ashim. read more

If you are looking for a doctor who will take his time with you, this is the doctor. He listens. He gives clear instructions on course of action needed. He is well read and willing to share sources. I never felt rushed or that my questions were not important. I highly recommend him read more

Dr. Arora was my mother's doctor. She changed to him after being repeatedly misdiagnosed. Within a very short time, he diagnosed her properly. Unfortunately, the diagnosis was not good. However, Dr. Arora did everything possible over the last two years of her life, to restore her to optimal health. When her disease, metastatic breast cancer (age86), finally prevailed, Dr. Arora spent the last few months making sure the quality of her last bit of life, was excellent. I can not say enough in tribute to this doctor who worked long hours with my mother, her family and friends to give her such a marvelous quality of life, and death, in the face of such a dire illness. Thank you Dr. Arora. p.s. he bought us all much joy and laughter as well, we should all be so lucky as to have Dr. Arora as our physician. read more

The doctor is attentive but his office staff is not. The first visit they asked for my co-pay. I told them I had met my deductible but, since they couldn't be bothered to confirm it, they insisted I pay. Same thing with second visit but this time I came with proof. Have to wonder how many patients pay when they shouldn't read more

Made an appointment, they took my insurance info when I arrived I asked if my insurance was verified and they were in my network, they never checked and lady was bothered I asked if she could call now. She told me I have to pay full visit fee and they will bill my insurance for any extra charges I told her no thank you I will find another Dr. Called blue cross and they said this Dr is not a Blue Cross network. VERY RUDE AND QUICK TO GIVE WRONG INFORMATION read more

First off - to 'Tony Y, Thousand Oaks, CA' ... It is OUR (the patient's) responsibility to know if a particular medical provider is covered by our insurance. When calling in to make your first appt, you should have asked ... and if they were not sure, you should have thanked them politely and stated you would contact your insurance company before further scheduling an appt. I feel this poor review is most unwarranted. In addition, I am a near-octogenarian and have found Dr. Arora to be the most competent, conscientious and 'patient-friendly' doctor I have ever had OR MET! We as patients must do all that is required of us, before we can receive the utmost of service that we expect! read more
