    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!!!!!

    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.

    Dr. Young is competent, knowledgeable, and kind. I have been seeing her for over 10 years and never…read morehad any issues with her office visits until recently. 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). I found it extremely off-putting and was shocked to see this type of behavior in this setting. While performing the ECG, she continued to explain and defend her misbehavior. As for Dr. Young, she is highly recommended for any cardiac conditions you may have.
