They had to be spread out over extended period, "because they were already booked for each test" . The day I had to see the cardiologist to wrap up and determine whether I currently have the condition running in family history or not. A NP or PA came in to tell me "everything is normal, you don't have to see a doctor". Medicare and supplemental insurance were billed for all the visits including the "wrap-up" visit. I also had to pay copay. 3-4 months later, when I I was supposed to have a procedure done in another facility, I needed a cardiac clearance. I got a call from Los Al cardiovascular to schedule an appointment in 2 days ( while previous tests I had took almost 2 months to be done). The scheduler said " you could get a paper clearance from a NP". I wonder medicare can audit and reprimand them for collecting unnecessary visits or not. They should make patients' lives easier by sending digital forms of results.

I cannot recommend a more genuine and caring cardiologist. Dr. Vahdat saved my mother's life with…read morean emergency surgery early January. Today, he is still my mom's cardiologist and we feel very comfortable with him. He is personable and cares genuinely about her health. The best part about Dr. Vahdat is that he does not seem to care about how much he can make off of someone. He always advises the cost and gives alternatives in case we are not able to afford it. Dr. Vahdat has a HUGE HEART! (Haha, get it?) My personal experience with him will always a memory I can never forget. At 6AM in the morning after my mom had her surgery, he came straight up to me and told me honestly of the expectations that my family will have to face. He saw straight through my facade of staying composed --- he was transparent and always been a reliable resource for us. Thank you, Dr. Vahdat. Not only did you save my mom's life that day, but you saved my entire family's.

I received a collections notice for a Zio Monitor worn in November 2024 by a different patient. Dr…read more Shandling's office registered the device under my information with iRhythm technologies even though I had not been seen in that office since 2010. As I had moved out of the area 15 years prior, I never received any bill and the bill was sent to collections. It took multiple phone calls over several days to get anyone to help look into this case. Finally, the billing manager at Dr. Shandling's office admitted that someone entered my information instead of the correct patient's information so I was being billed for the service that patient received. I don't understand how this could have happened as I had not visited that office for 15 years, my chart should have been archived. There was no mention of how this happened or what would be done to prevent it from happening again. I'd think twice about coming here as mixing patient information is a serious concern and there were no/insufficient checks in place to ensure the correct information was entered. UPDATE: As of 05/21/2025, the balance from the collections company is still showing. Additionally, Dr. Shandling's office forwarded an email that inadvertently revealed the other patient's information including date of service, prescription number, device serial number, patient name, patient DOB, patient's insurance company, and patient's insurance ID number. This is a HIPAA violation. I have yet to receive confirmation that all records have been amended and reflect the correct information.

As soon as my insurance told me she was an in-network doctor for me, I knew she was going to be my new PCP. I was seen right away. (maybe 15-20 min in the waiting room?) Thuy spent plenty of time with me, addressing all of my concerns and asked if I had any other questions. She also said if I ever needed anything, I could always just call. It made me feel like she really cares. Everyone at the office is extremely efficient; they always get back to me within 24 hours if I leave a message. FYI: they don't draw blood at the office for fasting labs so don't come in hangry for your annual check up. Ask them to send the lab order to your insurance's designated lab so you can schedule blood draw at your convenience. I highly recommend Dr. Ha to anyone looking for a caring PCP!!!!!
