I had a wonderful experience at Cardiology Specialists of Orange County recently. I went in due to…read morean elevated resting heart rate and needed to be fully cleared before an overseas trip within 2 weeks. PA Tiffany was amazing. She was very thorough with her examination, patiently listened to all my concerns, and took the time to answer all of my questions. Her nurse was also very sweet and helpful. The entire staff at Cardiology Specialists of OC was pleasant, professional, and caring. One person who truly stood out was Charito in scheduling. Getting a stress test, heart monitor setup, and follow-up appointment scheduled in less than two weeks was a major challenge, but Charito truly worked miracles. She was incredibly kind, caring, and professional throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was completed right on time. I sincerely want to commend Charito for her dedication and exceptional patient care. Her extra effort made a stressful situation so much easier for me. I highly recommend Cardiology Specialists of Orange County to anyone looking for a cardiologist.

The doctor also seems to only care and focus on financials. The level of care is below average as you are only there 10 minutes and lucky enough to see the doctor more than 10 minutes. You feel you're in the kettle farm yo be seen by a vet. Most people that I know used to be part of this practice are leaving or have left. The biggest challenge with this office is lack of trained and professional staff and that's due to the new uneducated untrained racist office manager. Please avoid this office at any cost.

Why would I wish to discuss the matter further, since it won't do any good? Just look at the ratings of this hospital. Look at how many dissatisfied people are posting and receiving a generic reply. How about insisting nurses treat their patients with care, compassion and empathy? How about giving mandatory in-service classes regarding these valuable traits? it would go a long way towards building trust and comfort-particularly for terminal patients and their families. If it had been up to me,he would've been removed from the premises immediately after having requested pain medication for him, and being told he was going to be given Tylenol. It was known that he was in agonizing pain. It was known that his cancer had metastasized. He was agitated and in terrible distress, and it was all traded very cavalierly. What is Tylenol going to do for him besides nothing? 45 minutes later, there was still no sign of the Tylenol. As I stated before, this is unacceptable and absolutely disgusting. To top it all off, his nurse was told twice his catheter had become separated, and bodily fluids were leaking all over his bed. While she twice acknowledged she was aware his catheter was leaking, she made no move to fix it. Whatever happened to common decency and treating others with dignity? For context, my mother, sisters, and myself all worked in hospital settings for years. I have never seen such egregious disregard in a hospital setting. Absolutely outrageous and inexcusable.

My CT scans and bloodwork were not being printed or handled correctly, which made the process feel disorganized and stressful. The doctor did order some testing, including a muscle biopsy, but I did not feel that the biopsy process was coordinated well. There did not seem to be clear agreement between all of my doctors about which side/muscle should be biopsied. When the biopsy came back negative, the conclusion seemed to be that I did not have myositis, even though I had multiple other findings and symptoms that still needed to be explained. I left feeling dismissed and without a clear plan. I understand that a negative biopsy is important, but I expected a more thorough explanation of my abnormal markers, MRI findings, symptoms, and next steps. Overall, I did not feel this office was helpful for my situation.

On the good side, Dr. Siu is personable and has good bedside manner. My problems with him were…read morethese: He gives your diagnosis with long stories leading to the diagnosis punchline, which can be interesting, but when you've brought a list of problems you're having, you might get to 2-3 of them. I'm not in great shape so I really need to go over everything in the short time that's allotted. I wrecked my shoulder pushing a 125 pound Casper box bed up a staircase. Dr. Siu didn't feel like I needed it checked, and instead told me a story about how he and his friends play competitive tennis every Christmas. 4 minutes into it he got to the punchline: They were all getting old and all had tennis elbow, which is what I now have. "Take 2 Tylenol before bed every night, cause that's all you can do." During this time, he sent me to a therapy place he (and they) swore were in my network. They had me doing all kinds of improvised nonsense without an MRI or a confirmation of what was wrong first, and of course made things worse. Went 3 times, knew it was a bad idea, quit going, then a $632 bill arrived because no matter what Dr. Siu or they said, they weren't in our network and just wanted the business. After a year of horrible pain and not being able to lift my hand higher than my shoulder, my wife scheduled an MRI. I have two 1 inch rotator cuff tears and I've needed surgery since the day I told Dr. Siu. I could almost let that slide, but near the end of 2023, I felt my job was in jeopardy, and I told his office that it'd be hard to get down there in the day for a routine checkup. They countered with, "The doctor says he's not refilling your prescriptions until you see him." I take like 16 pills every day, including heart and diabetes drugs (4 Metformin daily) that ran out of refills Nov-Dec. I told this to my new (as of 1/1) doctor who started by meekly defending the holding of my meds hostage: "Well, a doctor really shouldn't give you meds without at least meeting you." "I saw him multiple times!" "Oh! Well then, never mind..!" I won't even mention how a shirt of mine got ruined (blood) when his young staff hacked off skin tags with a dull Bic razor for an EKG ;-) Anyway, that's my novel. Probably a great doctor, but best to see him if you're already in good health.

When my mother became a resident at a board and care facility in Mission Viejo, he became her…read morephysician. All his visits were done virtually via video calls. On the positive side, he is very responsive to phone calls and did call back promptly whenever I had questions and he did spend time to discuss things. I was honestly surprised by how quickly and consistently he would get back to me. On the negative side, he was grossly overconfident in his video-call diagnosis skills and erred on the side of over-treatment even when stated family and patient goals were to be palliative. My mom had all the tell-tale signs of middle-stage dementia. He gave her a diagnosis of "mild cognitive impairment." My mom could not remember the thread of a conversation for more than 20-30 seconds. Still "mild cognitive impairment." At some point, our family discussed tweaking one of my mom's meds to help her mood. He adjusted the medication dosage up. Shortly thereafter, my mom was not able to physically get out of bed. Dr. Siu said we needn't worry. This was a known side effect of having dosed too high. We would just reduce the dose and there would be no long-term effect. It took nearly two weeks before my mom was able to get out of bed. That means she was close to paralyzed in bed for two weeks in her mid 70s. This led to the loss of almost all her remaining muscle mass. I raised this as a possible major issue. He said it was nothing to worry about. Let's be clear that muscle loss is a MAJOR issue if you expect to be able to move without assistance. The loss of muscle means you are no longer able to balance your body and prevent falling and hurting yourself. So at the end of this episode, my mom could barely walk more than a few feet on her own. He did not seem to weigh the risk of being bed-ridden and total muscle atrophy against whatever benefit a tweak in medication would make. Had we known this was a risk, our decision process would've been much different. As my mom's dementia and physical condition worsened (since she now had ZERO muscle and she was having concerning shudders, shakes, and mini seizures), we asked him about evaluating her for hospice. On the basis of a video call in which she displayed "flat affect", he told us that maybe her "flat affect," lack of balance and shudders and shakes were the result of potential Parkinson's and maybe we should take her to a specialist to see if we could get her on some kind of Parkinson's treatment. My mom did not have flat affect in person. But placed in front of a phone for a video call with someone she did not actually recognize, yes flat affect could be a thing. But when I raised this with him, Dr. Siu would not consider that family and caretaker observations might be more accurate than his video call assessment. He pushed for seeking out a specialist to investigate possible Parkinson's. I pointedly asked, "are these symptoms not ALSO a part of dementia? Does it not make more sense that dementia is the larger issue here?" He downplayed this and said "If it were my mom, I'd take her to get treatment. It could help. Couldn't possibly hurt to try to treat it." When we started with him, we were very clear that my mom's wishes and our family wishes were to err on the side of LESS treatment and less invasive medical care to reduce any possible unnecessary suffering. I then listed the ways in which taking someone with obviously bad dementia out of their comfort zone for a dizzying array of appointments, tests, and overall confusion might NOT be worth it and could be actively harmful. All this would be an enormous drain of time and energy, particularly if all the issues are more likely explained by dementia. This would be subjecting a fragile person with incontinence issues to torturous explorations for the hope of what exactly? I pushed for hospice evaluation. At this point she was already having notable trouble eating (though he could not see that through video eval). He said hospice would be unlikely to admit her because her dementia was not far along, but he would make the referral. He made extra effort to point out that once on hospice, we would close the door on any parkinson's treatment/eval. We got hospice evaluations done. Within a month she was admitted to hospice. She died of dementia within two months. I do not expect doctors to get every answer right. No human can or will get every answer right. But his overconfidence in his own assessment, dismissiveness of caretaker and family observations and preferences, and bias to over-treat at end of life was not at all comforting in an already difficult time.

As patients, we should have the right to seek a second--or even third--medical opinion, especially when it concerns our heart, arguably the most important organ in the body.

The idea that a physician would refuse to continue treating a patient simply because they sought an additional opinion is concerning and, in my view, contrary to the patient's right to advocate for their own health and well-being.

What started as a small bump on my father's skin -- which he specifically expressed concern about -- was brushed off by Dr. Afrasiabi as "possibly an infected pimple." We trusted her professional judgment, and that was a mistake. That so-called "pimple" turned out to be a fast-growing aggressive cancerous tumor. We just spent 12 hours in the hospital between radiology scans and a three-hour surgery to remove the tumor. When we returned to this office last week, Dr. Afrasiabi didn't apologize, didn't show empathy, and didn't take any responsibility for the misdiagnosis. She acted as if getting cancer was no big deal. And mind you all 3 devices of EKG were broken the day of our visit, which needed to be done urgently to get clearance for his operation today on 12/3/25. The lack of compassion was shocking. No patient -- especially someone facing a cancer diagnosis -- should ever be treated this way. I am deeply disappointed that someone like this Dr. Afrasiabi is allowed to care for patients. This may have been prevented months ago if the doctor had listened to my father's concerns and taken his symptoms seriously. But now we are forced to spend the next week anxiously waiting for biopsy results, praying the cancer hasn't spread and hoping for the best possible news. If you're looking for a doctor who listens, shows empathy, and takes concerns seriously, I strongly suggest looking elsewhere.
