This review for Dr. Battaglia is long overdue…read more Dr. Battaglia was referred to me after I consulted another doctor (for something else entirely). My first appointment, I think it took me like... 2 to 3 months before I actually got to see Dr. Battaglia (found out why later). I figured it maybe worth it as my problem has been with me most of my life and I kind of refuse to be a mouth breather any further. When my appointment finally came, my first meeting was with his assistant (sorry I forgot your name) but I got to describe my problem and basically it has been a life long problem of mine. After listening for a bit, she proceeded to basically numb my nose so he can be seen with a small little camera. That is already far better than what my other ENT doctor has done by the way. While the little camera was snaking its way up both of my nostrils, I realized quickly that, I don't think it should be... FEELING it snake like that. When that was done, the assistant (not PA, actual assistant) showed me the video and I saw the problem with my own eyes. Can't really breathe normally when your nasal passage is touching (turbinate's) and other areas were so narrow it was not ideal. I was told to wait a little bit before Dr. Battaglia came, and when he did come in. We exchanged greetings, I did my best to explain things again but he took a look himself, even though the video was there. He said some medical terms that went completely over my head but I already know the gist of the problem I been having (since i just saw it). I know my parents, both have an issue similar to this (not sure how bad) but it was clear to me, at least for my case, it is a genetic problem. Was then given two options, keep doing what I been doing with over-the-counter medication (which was doing barely anything) or have surgery to correct my issue. Septoplasty and turbinate reduction. I agreed to the surgery on the spot, despite not knowing the risks or cost involved because I am way over dealing with not being able to breathe through my nose. Had one pre-op appointment (back in late December, 2025) which was brief. Dr. Battaglia said the operation is pretty straight forward (as he has done this plenty of times I'm sure). There is reason why he takes so long to visit because half of the week, he is doing surgery. Currently three and a half months post-surgery (end of January, 2026. Review for that is posted) and so far, I cannot be happier considering I been able to breathe like a normal person for once. First week was definitely a bit of a pain. Just what I been experiencing most of my like times two. It was that annoying but so far, it has been worth it. I am glad I went through with it. My other ENT doctor was no where as descriptive or helpful. Taking constant over the counter medication for obstruction in your nose is not a solution. Having a video to see for certain the problems I been dealing with all my life is a good way to tell me that what my other ENT doctor suggested was never going to work as my issue goes far deeper. Now, the surgery doesn't resolve my allergy problem but that's another story. If you ever need any advice, having actual proof shown to you by the doctor is always the best. So you can make your own decision.

I brought my son to Dr. Shen for a breathing problem. He wasn't able to breathe properly through…read morehis nose and Dr. Shen found out right away that he had a deviated septum and blocked Turbinates. He suggested a regular use of Flonase and let me know that surgery was an option but that he wouldn't recommend it because my son is young, his body will change, that we should exhaust other methods before that step and that the turbinates were possibly inflamed due to allergies. To be honest, I wasn't satisfied. I had seen my son have issues breathing and I wanted a quick fix for him. I had a few friends with kids that had the same issue but they had surgeries to open up those turbinates instead. I actually went to a few more doctors for more opinions, three more and ended up realizing that Dr. Shen was right. He and one other ENT doctor (a highly recommended one) both said that surgery wasn't needed while the other two wouldn't budge from the surgery route and didn't offer the concerns that Dr. Shen mentioned. We began the Flonase the day of my first visit with Dr. Shen and after about a month, my son was breathing just fine. In fact, it actually happened a lot sooner than that. I am glad we were able to avoid surgery and am glad Flonase (we use Sensimist) is working. Such a simple fix but the patience to see it through was needed on my part. I think back now about how willing I was to put my son through anaesthesia and am slightly ashamed about it. The possibility of the turbinates growing again was high so it might have only been a temporary relief and at a high cost. I see that a few reviews are over Dr. Shen's bedside manner. Ok, I can agree that he is directly to the point about what he sees and what his experience suggests. I personally appreciate this style as I have another child with a chronic medical condition and could have saved a lot of headaches regarding her care if her original doctors had not been so wishy-washy about her treatments. I would recommend him to anyone though as he let me know he also has children and gives advice based on what he would do for them. Thanks for reading!

At my 18-year-old daughter's allergist's appointment in May 2020, he was concerned that there were…read morestructural issues in her nose (Dr. Kevin Farnam at Adult and Children Allergy Asthma Center - ANOTHER five-star review). So an ENT referral was recommended and approved by our insurance. My daughter started seeing Dr. Alexis K. Rieber at Huntington ENT in June of 2020. The first visit was a telemedicine appointment and we liked her immediately. At our next visit, Dr. Rieber diagnosed multiple issues that were causing her continuing issues. Surgery was the option and was scheduled within six weeks at Arcadia Outpatient Surgical Center (ANOTHER five-star review). The surgery went very well, but wasn't the most comfortable until her packing and stitches were removed. It was amazing what a difference that her procedure made in her life! Dr. Rieber and staff are so kind, understanding, and patient. My daughter asks a LOT of questions and Dr. Rieber never rushed her or made her feel like she couldn't get her answers. The most important take-away is that this procedure was done during the height of the COVID pandemic. My daughter received the best of care and was recently declared "fully healed" by Dr. Rieber. We will miss seeing the staff at the office and bringing them fun treats!! Thank you ALL!!

We brought our daughter to Dr. Alexis K. Rieber because she was experiencing significant breathing…read moredifficulties and other symptoms that we believed warranted a thorough evaluation. Dr. Rieber ordered an adenoid X-ray, which was completed and reviewed. We were told that the adenoids appeared normal. During the appointment, I felt our concerns were dismissed rather quickly, and we were immediately offered a referral for a sleepy study rather than receiving a deeper investigation into the cause of her symptoms. Something didn't feel right, so I trusted my instincts and sought a second opinion from another ENT specialist in Orange County. I brought the exact same X-ray, and the specialist immediately noted that the adenoids appeared enlarged. A repeat X-ray was ordered to confirm the findings, and it showed that my daughter's adenoids were actually severely enlarged. As a parent, it is incredibly frustrating to learn that a significant issue may have been overlooked, especially when it contributed to a delay in diagnosis and treatment for a child who was already struggling. I also drove over an hour for this appointment, only to leave feeling unheard and without answers. My biggest disappointment was not just the diagnosis itself, but the feeling that our concerns were not given the time and attention they deserved. Parents know their children best, and when something feels wrong, those concerns should be taken seriously. Unfortunately, based on our experience, I cannot recommend Dr. Rieber.

Very disappointed with the LA ENT Pasadena location. My husband has a broken leg, so getting him to…read morean appointment is already difficult. We arrived approximately 12 minutes late, and their grace period is 14 minutes. We were still within that grace period, yet they turned us away and told us all of the rooms were already closed. I called and explained that we had arrived before the 14-minute grace period was over, but they still would not see him and instead rescheduled his appointment. If your policy gives patients a 14-minute grace period, then that grace period should be honored. We made it there within the allowed time, despite the added difficulty of transporting my husband with a broken leg, only to be turned away. This was extremely frustrating and disappointing. If patients are going to be turned away at 12 minutes, then don't tell them they have a 14-minute grace period.

After my surgery, I remember him repeatedly reassuring me, "We will take care of you, and if you need to stay extra days in the hospital to recover, we will make that happen for you."

My appointments were always on time, and the entire team was professional, caring, and attentive. Dr. Mendelsohn and his team are fantastic! Katie, Joy, Justin, and the other team members whose names I may have forgotten were all amazing and made my experience even better. Thank you, Dr. Mendelsohn and the entire team, for taking such great care of me. Speaking from my personal experience, I would highly recommend Dr. Mendelsohn and his team to anyone looking for a skilled, compassionate, and caring medical team!

I was still driving home when I got a call directly from her telling me she'd already checked with her colleague and was calling to ask if she could pass along my info to her colleague's office.
