The office staff however is on the more unprofessional side. They don't do well with greeting people, and giving quality customer service. They sometimes gossip or chit chat while you're sitting right next to them and don't acknowledge patients in the room. They could be friendlier and put patients first a little bit more. The wait time is also extremely ridiculous. I spent 2 hours waiting for a 15 minute visit. My mom spent 4 hours one time as well. Clear your DAY if you want to be seen.

From my preteen years until my mid-30's, my family had Dr. Monk as its primary health doctor. Some…read moreyears into my early 30's, Dr. Monk allowed Dr. Polak to also practice at his office. Fast forward about 2-3 years later, she failed to maintain proper care for my father that had a heart condition. On his end, he had done everything preventative for about 2 decades after finding out he had the heart problem, to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Due to her negligence, my dad's cardiologist notified us that dad's heart was no longer functioning well and he had a very short life left. In our discussion with him, he stated that Dr. Polak was a very poor doctor due to other experiences had with her work. A bit before all this happened, Dr. Polak had also recommended that my mom had heart assessments. My mom had never displayed any symptoms, so when she met with another cardiologist, that cardiologist, basically also had the same poor opinion of Dr. Polak. He didn't understand why my mom was referred to him or the assessments due to mom's great cardiac condition. BEWARE!!

I was referred to Dr. Sundaram by my primary care doctor. Jackie at the front desk was great - she…read morewas able to get me in the same day given the urgency of my case. She checked me in efficiently, and Martin did a battery of thorough peripheral and eyesight exams. Then I saw Dr. Sundaram who was even more thorough and had me take more tests/scans including optic nerve and cornea. She walked me through the results and went over my MRI with me, explaining what they indicated and next steps. She was factual and matter of fact, but also calmed my nerves a bit. The only reason this is a 4 star review and not 5 stars is because I had two appointments (field eye test then the consult), an hour apart. The second time I was 20 minutes early, checked in online then went to the front desk. The girl who helped me had no idea how to check me in and when I told her what Jackie did to check me in, she still looked lost and went and asked for help. Long story short, it somehow took 25 minutes for this to happen so instead of being early I ended up getting seen late. Dr. Sundaram was great and very thorough, and I would recommend her.

Considering our insurance doesn't cover annual check-ups, I called around a few clinics and…read morehospitals and found this place to be reasonably priced for an out-of-pocket visit, which included a pap. When I checked in, I was given 2 pages to fill out, and within about 7 minutes, I was called in. Anna was the medical assistant who took all my vitals and asked me some health history questions to complete my chart. Soon after, she lead me to another room to be seen by the Nurse Practitioner. Within a couple minutes the NP came in-- I thought wow, that was fast! The NP was really nice and did the whole exam, and even asked if I wanted to run some blood work to check cholesterol levels, etc. My entire appointment took less than an hour, and I felt my physical exam went pretty well. Now, I just need to schedule a separate appointment for my blood work.

Frustrated and Disappointed After Years of Loyalty…read more I've been going to this clinic for years, and the quality of care has seriously declined. This is now the second time they've failed to submit my prescription--something that directly affects my health. Meanwhile, they're quick to take your copay and will cancel your appointment without hesitation if your insurance isn't perfectly in order. They'll call you to schedule a follow-up after bloodwork, but while still on the phone, they're checking your insurance coverage--like your care is secondary to your billing status. It's clear that money comes first. Worse, I've only seen my assigned doctor twice in all these years. Every visit is with a nurse practitioner--often still in training. There's no continuity, no personal connection, and certainly no accountability. I will absolutely change providers and will actively warn others about this clinic. I also plan to report this experience to my insurance provider. This place no longer deserves anyone's time or money.

The only negative I have is that they Have fees for a lot of things I didn't think about. Needed some insurance papers filled out. $15 fee Follow-up phone call to see how kiddo was doing..fee( call was less than 5 mins) but that might just be our insurance not sure we have tricare.

That's after a bad experience with my last pediatrician that made me upset. She gave amazing recommendations and answered all my worrisome questions. A huge weight was lifted off my shoulders after speaking with her. Having worked with many physicians with my occupation I can say that Dr. Chou is one of a kind and amazing! Staff was GREAT too!

He is such a great doctor - super nice and very thorough with the few concerns I did have. Because of him my physicals are quick and easy, which is very alleviating when I see doctors as a patient! I've also gone here once on a non-physical appointment. On that appointment I saw Dr. Tran. He addressed my concerns to my satisfaction and his prescriptions helped me get a lot better. The support staff from the check-in desk to the RNs and even the lab staff are super friendly. Whenever I go here they ensure that my visit is hassle-free. I also have good medical insurance so no surprise bills to come out of here. PS: My only concern is that Scripps doesn't have an urgent care location south of the 52. I know that as of my last visit they were promoting HealthExpress so at least there's an option there but it just sucks that I would have to drive the equivalent distance of going to work just to be seen.

***PLEASE READ ME***…read more After three years of having my children as patients, I cannot recommend Dr. Singh or the pediatrics office at Scripps Eastlake. Over the past year, three last-minute cancellations, repeated communication failures, and consistently long waits have led me to seek care elsewhere. First, appointment times have meant very little in our experience. We arrive 15 minutes early as requested, only to wait another 30 minutes to an hour past the scheduled appointment time before being seen. These delays mean more time away from work, more school missed, and additional childcare disruptions. The bigger issue is that appointments for my sons were canceled on three separate occasions the morning of the visit--sometimes approximately 30 minutes beforehand--without notification reaching me. The office said it called my wife's number. My wife is deployed in the military and cannot reliably receive and relay these messages. My number is on file as the primary contact, and I have repeatedly explained that they need to call me. I raised this with the front office and nursing staff after each incident, yet the same problem kept happening. I understood the first mistake. After the second cancellation, I filed a formal complaint and changed pediatricians for one of my sons. My other son still needed an appointment while I waited for availability elsewhere. What happened next was especially frustrating. When scheduling contacted me about an appointment, I specifically said I did not want another appointment with Dr. Singh because of the previous cancellations. I was considering an available appointment with another doctor that same day. The scheduling representative reassured me that Dr. Singh would see my son, or another provider would see him if she could not. Based on that assurance, I accepted the appointment. I took time off work, pulled my son out of school, and rearranged childcare. When I arrived, I learned the appointment had been canceled again that morning. The assurance that another provider would see him was not honored. I filed another formal complaint, as well as a complaint through my insurance provider. Over roughly three years, Dr. Singh personally saw my children only about twice; other doctors covered most of their visits. I understand that doctors have emergencies and personal circumstances. What I cannot accept is repeatedly leaving families without care or effective notice, especially after the communication problem has been explained and formally reported. Parents deserve reliable appointments, accurate contact information being used, and scheduling promises they can trust. If a physician cannot consistently see their patients, families deserve an honest explanation and help arranging care with someone who can. Based on my family's experience, I strongly encourage parents looking for a pediatrician in Eastlake--including military families using TRICARE--to consider another practice. This is my firsthand account, and I am sharing it so other families can make an informed decision.
