After recently having had another incident of dealing with an inattentive physician & poor service from his staff, I would no longer recommend Dr. Phillip Yuan. In my experience, it starts with a seemingly endless maze of automation to speak with someone at that office, then once one does, one is promptly transferred to another person who more often than not just doesn't pick up. I've left voicemails that went unreturned for days, & often not at all. I've found Dr. Yuan's inattentiveness & failure to respond in a timely manner increasingly disappointing. I would recommend investigating alternate options to using this practice.

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Fatehchehr. After struggling with endometriosis since I…read morewas 14, dealing with severe pain for years, and seeing multiple doctors who only offered hormone treatments that never truly helped, I had lost hope. Even after undergoing surgery in the past, my condition didn't improve, and after my last baby, my flare-ups became unbearable--happening every 2 to 3 days. Nothing was working anymore. Then, by the grace of God, I found Dr. Fatehchehr at exactly the right time. From my very first appointment, he actually listened to me--something so many other doctors had failed to do. He was incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, and compassionate, making me feel truly understood for the first time in years. I only wish I had met him sooner. In January, Dr. Fatehchehr performed an endometriosis excision surgery on me, and I am not kidding when I say I feel like a new person. I used to wake up every day in fear of the pain returning, but now, nearly three months post-surgery, I still can't believe that my pain is gone. I never thought this day would come. I'm sharing my story in hopes of helping other women who are suffering in silence. Painful periods are not normal, and they should be taken seriously. If you are struggling with endometriosis, please don't settle for doctors who dismiss your pain--see someone like Dr. Fatehchehr. He changed my life, and I am forever grateful.

My wife came under Dr. Yafeh's care after months of a frightening and rapidly progressive…read moreneurological illness. She had gone from being healthy and independent to suffering severe dizziness, slurred speech, loss of coordination, profound weakness, and eventually an inability to function normally. Despite extensive testing and evaluations at multiple facilities, we still did not have a clear explanation for what was happening to her. Dr. Yafeh did not give up on her. What stands out to me most is that Dr. Yafeh continued looking for an explanation when the obvious answers were not working. The records show that my wife had already undergone extensive brain and spine imaging, EMG testing, antibody testing and IVIG treatment without a satisfactory diagnosis or meaningful improvement. Instead of dismissing an extraordinarily complicated case, Dr. Yafeh pursued the possibility of a serious autoimmune neurological disorder. She treated my wife aggressively. Then came what our family considers the critical turning point. During this neurological investigation, imaging revealed a suspicious right axillary lymph node and an abnormality in the right breast. Dr. Yafeh continued to push the investigation forward, including biopsy of the suspicious lymph node. The biopsy ultimately revealed metastatic carcinoma, and the records show that hematology/oncology and breast surgery were brought into the case and chemotherapy was initiated during that hospitalization. Dr. Yafeh also recognized the potential connection between the newly discovered cancer and my wife's devastating neurological condition. Her documentation specifically describes the neurological symptoms as a paraneoplastic syndrome and anticipated that treating the cancer could help bring the neurological disease under control. That is why it is difficult for me to describe what Dr. Yafeh did for our family simply as "good medical care." From our perspective, her persistence helped uncover a cancer that had not previously been identified while my wife's neurological condition was becoming progressively disabling. At the same time, she treated the autoimmune neurological process aggressively rather than waiting for every unanswered laboratory test to come back. My wife subsequently began the long road toward recovery. Today, when I look back at how sick my wife was and how uncertain her future appeared, I cannot separate that recovery from the persistence, clinical judgment and determination Dr. Yafeh demonstrated during those critical weeks. There were many physicians, nurses, therapists, oncologists and other medical professionals involved in my wife's care, and I will always be grateful to them. But Dr. Banafsheh Yafeh holds a very special place in our family's story. She took my wife's condition seriously. She kept searching when the diagnosis was unclear. She recognized that something much larger could be occurring. She treated the neurological disease aggressively. And when evidence of cancer emerged, she helped connect the neurological and oncological pieces of an extraordinarily complicated medical puzzle. My family believes Dr. Yafeh helped save my wife's life. There are no words that adequately express what it means to watch someone you love begin to come back after fearing that you might lose them. For giving my wife that chance, and for giving our family hope when we desperately needed it, I will always be profoundly grateful to Dr. Banafsheh Yafeh. She has my highest possible recommendation and my family's lifelong gratitude.

After suffering a stroke and an AVM rupture last year, followed by a craniotomy, my entire life…read morechanged overnight. Before all of this, I was a healthy 30 year old who had never dealt with any major medical issues, so navigating recovery was completely new and overwhelming for me. Throughout this journey, Dr. Yafeh has been an incredible source of support, guidance, and I am still under her care today. She is one of the most compassionate and thorough physicians I have ever met. She regularly checked in on me, followed up when needed, and prescribed medications that helped significantly with the severe headaches I experienced after surgery. I am completely weaned off meds now. At the same time, she never made me feel pressured to take medications if I wasn't comfortable. Instead, she always listened to my concerns and worked with me to create a treatment plan that felt right for me. What I appreciate most is that she never rushes through appointments. She takes the time to answer every question and explain things in a way that makes sense. As someone who had never gone through anything like this before, I had a lot of questions, and she never once made me feel bad for asking them. She listens and makes you feel heard. Dr. Yafeh also took the time to educate both me and my husband about what recovery would look like and what challenges we might face along the way. She helped us understand how to navigate this new reality and gave my husband guidance on how he could best support me during my recovery. She has been incredibly helpful with disability paperwork, work restrictions, and helping me obtain modified duty so I could safely transition back to work. In addition, her staff have always been kind and helpful. Most importantly, Dr. Yafeh helped me regain confidence in myself after a life changing event. She helped me adjust to my new normal and reminded me to give myself grace during the recovery process. I am grateful for her expertise, patience, kindness, and unwavering support throughout one of the most difficult times in my life last year.

The procedure went ok, quite painful, but everything seemed to go as planned. Later that day and for the following week, I was in extreme pain - unable to walk. I called the doctors office three times to leave a message and see if there was something wrong as this was not normal. Each time, my messages were left unanswered - no doctor to respond to my inquiries. I ended up going to Urgent Care for assistance to address the excruitating pain. When I finally was able to speak to someone, it was the front desk who provided me some advise (same that was on my handout - she was not a medical professional, so I didn't have any help in that conversation). I provided the feedback to Dr. ElKhoury- Front desk staff unprofessional, no follow-up at a very vulnerable time in the process and unfortunate. I've since found other Pain Management doctors in OC that have been much better - but I wish, pain management was more than just spinal shots and more thorough review of options.

Long story, short....i reached out to their billing dept. IRENE CURIEL responded with half ass responses and could not provide me an itemized statement so she produced her own version. On top of that they provided me a refund, which was questionable. Then 16 months later they deposited a check for $530 and told me it was owed for services...AFTER they provided me the refund for being overcharged!! I went back and questioned IRENE and she has ignored me. I am owed a refund for the $530 and now have to go through the legal process. This office did nothing for my pain only attempted to squander money out of me and it looks like others. It's unfortunate because I was willing to settle this amicably but IRENE doesn't want to be bothered and unprofessionally does not respond. I would not attend this facility. There are other qualified pain management specialists. I have a new one, extremely qualified and have only paid my co-pay.
