BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD STAFF AND DOCTOR!!!!!!!!!!!!…read moreIf I could give a negative review I would. This is the second time coming here for my kids. The first time I called (2025) I was providing my information over the phone and the lady was extremely rude. Basically said I didn't have insurance coverage and wasn't able to schedule an appointment. I reiterated the fact that my children were covered and she needed to check her system thoroughly. Back and forth discussion that resulted in my calling back to schedule it when she simply could have scheduled the appointment to begin with and verified the active status of my insurance upon the appointment a month later or even in between that time. With her continued rudeness, I decided to give her a taste of her own medicine "no pun intended". She clearly didn't like it and coincidentally changed her attitude almost immediately. Upon arriving at the Doctors office, i found out that the rude lady over the phone was thinner short lady with dark mid-length hair. I don't recall her name at this moment. Fast forward, we entered the medical room. Dr. Koo kept interrupting me, dismissing my input regarding my concerns for my child and their health, and kept telling my young kids for them to explain themselves. I get it, you want to hear from the child directly how they feel but when they dont have the right words to explain themselves and articulate what is going on then thats when parents should advocate for their kids and speak up, which I tried doing. But again, Dr. Koo continued to ignore my concerns as a parent and kept interrupting me or basically shutting me up. I figured maybe she was having a bad day. giving her and her staff the benefit of doubt. 1 year later, another physical. Took my kids in and guess what!? YUP! Same BS! Same receptionist/nurse (whatever you want to call her) was rude. The rude lady was asking me what concerns i had related to my kids health. I explained and there was no empathy whatsoever. I felt like the concerns I was explaining to her didn't matter and tried rushing me by not allowing me to finish what i wanted to say and asked me "any other concerns" even before finishing my last sentence. If you dont know how to listen to patient's concerns, then this is definitely not the field you should be working in ... lady! She looked like someone put cat litter and fecal matter in her food with that snobby expression on her face! ugh! I hope she reads this too! Mind you, she also forgot to list some concerns i expressed. Anything i mentioned she immediately interrupted me by saying "You can tell the dr that, you can tell the dr that, you can tell the dr that." as if she didnt seem to care about what i had to say. I specifically asked for two specific exams and it was like twisting her arm! these exams i know for a fact she was supposed to do and didnt want to do it probably because she was being lazy. if your child goes in for an annual check up, anything can happen within a year so many changes, so you want to ensure you get EVERYTHING checked out! Not this office. NOPE! THEY DON'T CARE!!!! Once she left, Dr. Koo came in (shaking my head!) I started explaining the concerns. Guess what!? She did the same thing again as she did last year. Interrupted me, dismissed me, she was checking my child and made the comment like "what do i know im not the specialist". Right, youre not the specialist but you ARE the DOCTOR, so have some empathy lady!! Not to mention, my insurance fees pay your salary including my out of pocket expenses, so be grateful! I told myself I cant believe this! AGAIN!?!?!? this is ridiculous! Who does this?! what kind of doctor does this!? i was livid and so annoyed at the treatment we received, (better yet, lack of treatment), and couldn't wait for the appointment to be over with. Oh! and the two exams I requested, only one was done. Lo and behold, the one exam I requested, turned out my child now needs to be a specialist. If i wasn't persistent on the inhouse exam, my child would have suffered even longer!!!! SAVE YOUR TIME, MONEY, ENERGY, AND EVERYTHING OVERALL BY SELECTING SOMEONE WHO GENUINELY CARES!!!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILDREN HERE!!!!!

Don't know why this person recommended this Dr. to me but I do see the mutual narcissistic personality between the person with this recommendation and Dr. Alarid. I'm obviously going by my personal experience with this doctor. In my first and last appt. with her she was very condescending and dismissive to my health concerns I presented to her. She made me feel as if my symptoms were all in my head. Needless to say I never went back to her and did find a dr. who is more attentive and empathetic and shows some concern when I visit. You may ask why review now, I meant to do it sometime ago but life happens and for some reason she popped on here so I thought this would be the time to do so. Proceed with caution is all I have to say. Maybe's she's changed, maybe not.

She is a very loving and caring physician! There is no other like her!! I left her for a year or so…read moreand I can honestly say was the biggest mistake of my life!! I have been in medical field dealing with doctors and medical insurances all my life.. NEVER MET ANYONE LIKE HER! if only every other physician would be so smart and talented as her!! This world wouldn't have so many sick people and let alone people dien from their illness. She should be presented with some kind of award for her diligence and hard work. She always follows up with her patients to check in them. Uses kind words and questions. Her mannerisms are just so sweet and heartfelt!! I have sooo many health issues going on in my life and yet Dr. Alerid is the only PCP to have ever taken the time to help me through my darkest days... Thank you kindly for being you!!! Don't ever change who u genuinely are...

Optum Does NOT provide Good Service or better yet Optum provides NO SERVICE @ this Point. Calls are ROUTED to the CALL CENTER then SUPPOSEDLY someone will CALL YOU within '48' hours which is ALREADY UNACCEPTABLE ! I've been trying to SCHEDULE an Appointment for 'PRE -OP', I originally called on 3/10 / 26 Tuesday ), waited for a Phone Call back on TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY & FRIDAY- No Phone Call back was made from the Montebello Office. Here today 3/16 now 1 day Shy of 7 Days, I called back again & still NO CALL was Received from the MONTEBELLO office. For those looking into Providers that CARE about their PATIENTS please look ELSEWHERE- OPTUM is NOT the place. Unfortunately, for now I can't make any Changes with My or My Husbands Insurance... However, when Open Enrollment comes It Definitely will not be with OPTUM.

COVID-19: Social distancing is not enforced at this establishment. All of the staff wears a mask…read more All patients are not expected to wear a mask. It's optional now. The staff also wears gloves when handling bodily fluids or when touching patients. There are some hand sanitizers available for patients to use. This place is open and available with limited capacity. They are sanitizing in between patients. I mention these things in my reviews for the sake of protecting immunocompromised people like the elderly and people sick with cancer and other illnesses. COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination. While I was here in this establishment, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They also do not allow pets in their establishment UNLESS it's a service animal. Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is behind the building and it is very small. The lot does get full quickly, so you may have to find some street parking, but that shouldn't be an issue. Establishment: The establishment itself is very clean, neat, tidy, small, and organized. They recently moved to a new location, and I love everything except the parking lot because it's so small. A nice upgrade in office space. Yay! Staff: The staff here are very friendly, kind, warm, welcoming, and helpful. They accept both cash and credit cards. There is no credit card minimum. Dr. Jen, as always, is very professional, compassionate, empathetic, and knowledgeable. He doesn't rush, and he truly listens to his patients. I love that he isn't dismissive at all. My favorite doctor as an adult.

My first time here. And honestly I hadn't gone to a doctor for a check-up since the start of the…read morepandemic and had been putting it off for some time since I felt fine, but finally decided it was time before I was way overdue for one. And dare I say it was a very pleasant visit to Dr. Jen's office for the most part... compared to other doctor visits I've been to, going to Dr. Jen definitely won't be daunting compared to others I've been to. My first impression of the place was already a good start, with a very friendly staff and I appreciate that this place seems to keep things in order where I seemed to be the only patient in the office at the time (which is great for the pandemic situation). Dr. Jen was very thorough in my check-up and I specifically came here to also get a pap smear all at once. Very professional throughout, including his female staff member. The pap smear wasn't all that bad (granted my body wasn't cooperating for part of it but that's not his fault) and he made sure I was comfortable the whole time too. Logistics-wise, it was about 3 months out from when I made my appointment call, but I was ok with it since I didn't have an urgent reason. Office itself is in a good location. It's on the 3rd floor and you can find the entrance to the elevators next to the pharmacy. Bonus for the lab being downstairs if you need to get your blood drawn in the future after the doctor's visit, so it's nice that everything you need is in one location. There's free parking around the building and I didn't have trouble snagging a spot on a Friday afternoon.

Type of care: yearly heart condition check-up and in-office examinations prior to the visit…read more Quality of care: Not satisfied. Office experience: The staff are lovely. The assistant who scanned my heart previously was very nice and remembered my condition even after more than a year. (Also, their appointments are very sparse throughout the year.) This cardiologist seemed more interested in how I was dressed than in my heart. This, among other things, made me feel very uncomfortable. I remember her making sure that I understood her comment about my clothes, saying it twice. I felt more comfortable around her assistant, who is a male, than her. I am on Medi-Cal, but she kept recommending that I change my insurance to cover some additional and very rare examinations. As if I can do that overnight. She doesn't talk to you; she just nods and says very few words. There's no opportunity to express concerns. I have been in contact with cardiologists all my life, both for myself and for other people. Everyone has their own character, and I accept that as long as it doesn't become unacceptable conduct. I did not go to my last visit, to collect all my exams because of this. And I am procrastinating exactly because of this cardiologist.

Unfortunately I could not give the full 5 stars due to her office staff. There is one who lacks professionalism - she complains about patients to her colleagues in the presence of the patient (thinking the patient does not understand mandarin).

As for Dr. Young, she is highly recommended for any cardiac conditions you may have.
