During my initial visit, she spent time asking about my history and sent me out for blood work to determine what if any allergies I had due to recurring hives. She also prescribed some H1 and H2 blockers which helped immensely. Dr. Schoettler was very thorough during the visit, and also during a follow-up telemedicine visit. Her staff was very considerate as well. I'm receiving excellent care and highly recommend her.

Excellent Care. Excellent Office / Staff Customer Service…read more I have been coming to the Torrance office location and have been under the care of Dr. Buchsbaum since June of 2024 and have been seeing them in a regular basis. I have nothing but good words to express about Dr. B and his Team at Southbay Allergy and Asthma. Dr. Buchsbaum has the best bedside manner. Every time I go for a visit, he takes time and listen to what I have to say. Will even repeat what I say to confirm what he has heard is correct and that he understands e correctly. He is very intentional with his words and plan of treatment and care. I have also been seen by NP, Christine Ahn in cases when Dr. B is away. Christine takes time to listen and does not rush the visit and I, as a patient, feel seen and feelings validated. The front office staff, Deana and Denise are always helpful. Wait time is minimal. Shout out to Clarissa and Nathan who always have a smile on their face and always helpful with this patient's needs and concerns. AND lastly BUT CERTAINLY NOT THE LEAST, I would like to make special mention and appreciate the Nurse, Marissa. She has taken time to walk me through the requirements in order for me to get approved for the much-needed Biologic medication - Xolair. She walked me thru the steps on how to get the medication discounted by Accredo and has called my Insurance Company to authorize the medication. This drug has dramatically changed my life and made living with my medical situation more tolerable. If you are on the fence about this medical office and Dr. B and his Team, please don't. Go ahead and schedule that appointment and be glad you did. I hope you get the same health care experience as I have and find this review very helpful.

Dr. Dean Chiang's office is located close by Torrance Memorial Medical Center…read more When visiting his office, parking was easy to find since there are multiple parking areas around his office. Each time I come by, I'm warmly greeted by his staff plus they are so helpful. In a previous visit, I accidentally left something behind and the staff took the time to help me find it. Dr. Dean Chiang is warm and caring. He takes the time to listen to my concerns and provides a plan of action. I had a severe allergic reaction and he helped resolve it right away and even followed up to make sure I was getting better. Dr. Dean Chiang and his staff are responsive and always so kind. Even when the entire building was shut down by the owner and city, Dr. Chiang and his staff responded to my email and phone message right away. The building being shut down was no fault of Dr. Chiang and his staff, the shutdown affected all the providers in that building. One of the best allergist and doctor who truly cares about your health. His staff has been kind and helpful.

I decided to go through the appointment to avoid the fee. Due to insurance change, I wanted to confirm if the office is part of the IPA I am newly assigned. Lady told me to call my insurance to get that information. After a period of arguing why she is unable to check it, she did confirm that they are in-network with the IPA. I got in the office to check in. Lady at front desk took my ID and insurance card. After filling out some paperwork, I was being charged $30 co-pay. I told them that specialist co-pay on my card is $25. She agreed and charged me for that amount. My appointment is 4:45pm. It is now 5:35pm and still haven't seen by the doctor. Ironic the office will charge to cancel, yet no compensation for long wait. Really disappointing.

I really enjoy this place with Crystal and the gang and highly recommend it.

The treatment was done on the wrong side, the table she used was not designed for this procedure and it seemed like she had never done it before.

They prioritize leaving at noon over handling the work they accept. The place also felt like a car dealership as they try to maximize the money they can squeeze out of insurance and your pockets. Not efficient. Also lack of respect between coworker, constant yelling between receptionist and her nurses during my appointment. After cancelling my next appointment due to lack of professionalism they call me back within 2 minutes to tell me I owe them more money for a breathing test. Why didn't they call me back that fast when I left a voicemail to ask about the prescription.... I suggest to anyone reading this: find a more professional place who is ready to help you solve your breathing/allergies and not fixated on maximizing your insurance.

Ultimately I had to do my own digging afterwards and found that they indeed were paid by my insurance too, so I requested a refund which was another pain. On top of all this I had the most uncomfortable experience with the patch test and they were no help at all, I had a scar on my back for 6 months after the patches were removed.

Dr. Saad had great reviews and many years of experience and when we saw how well she was able to work with our child who had an ear infection we knew we would be seeing her for the foreseeable future. The office is very clean and they even have different entrances for sick patients vs. Not. The staff is super friendly and our son quickly made friends with everyone there! There is plenty of parking, but the only problem is that it can take about 15-20 minutes to get to the correct third floor entrance from the parking lot on a quiet day. We would recommend arriving to the parking structure at least 30 minutes just to be on the safe side. Overall we were very satisfied with the care and service of PVMG!

I have a bad case of hives right now and she was able to work with me to help manage them. She not only got me in to see her right away, but after I had left she gave me her email address to email her when I didn't feel well. I actually did end up emailing her...a lot and she responded very promptly to all my emails AND she did not charge me. She also was able to get a hold of my endocrinologist and together they worked together to make sure all my meds were okay to take and what the right amount should be. I would totally recommend Dr. Schoettler and her partner to anyone (he also helped me when she was unavailable). Not only are they responsive, but very good at helping you through your issues quickly to make you feel better. BONUS, they are very technically savvy. I hope this helps!
