    The Dr at this location is a really caring Dr.. He's calm, and focused and is understanding.

I would definitely recommend him as the doctor who cares about a patient Because it can be scary asthma. It's is the first time in my life I've seen a pulmonologist and I was fortunate to have been assigned to his office. Quality care, the nurse Is also good at her job.

    Probably the worst experience with a doctors office I've ever had. Do not go here. They are not a…read more"healthcare" provider as they have no care or concern with your well-being. I liked the first doctor I went to at this practice a lot. I was seen for sleep issues and possible sleep apnea. However, after completing an at home sleep study in early October and returning the equipment, I heard nothing back. So, I followed up. The person I spoke with said it takes "2-3 weeks to download the results" - sounded suspect (nothing takes that long to download these days, but maybe it needs to be sent off somewhere and a report generated, so fine). I confirmed the practice would call me back with the results when available and was told yes, absolutely. Again, I heard nothing for weeks, so I called back. The next person I spoke with told me my results were in but I would have to schedule an appointment to get the results. As if it's not frustrating enough that the first person didn't tell me this and schedule an appointment during my first call to follow up....Im told the next availability for an appointment is APRIL. APRIL TO RECEIVE RESULTS FOR A TEST COMPLETED IN OCTOBER!!!!!! Madness. As if that wasn't bad enough, I asked to be put on a cancellation list and was eventually given an appointment in December. But then the practice called me a few days before to say something had come up and the doctor could no longer see me in December - and now the date to see the doctor was even further out in April. Frustrated at this point I asked to be squeezed in or if there wasn't a way to see another doctor I could see. I was told the office manager would call me back the next day to figure something out. No one called - so after a few days I tried back. I spoke with yet another person, who said the office manager was out that day but he would leave a note for her to call me the next day when she returned. Well, it's been weeks, yet again, and here we are: No word from this office. No returned call and no appointment for a follow up. If and when I do get someone on the phone it'll probably be May or June before I can see the doctor for my results. Again, for a test completed in October. It should actually be illegal to offer a test you can't provide results on for 6+ months. Had this been a more serious issue I'd be dead thanks to the negligence of this practice. I rarely ever write reviews but their lack of care is so egregious that I truly hope to prevent others from having to deal with this when in need of timely and thoughtful care. Find another spot!!

    Dr Patel has been treating a few of my close good friends for their sleep then breathing issues…read moreincluding asthma and COPD. Upon finding Dr Patel, I really had no knowledge of his background or simply the mere fact that he is one of the Round the Clock intensivist at the ICU at the Huntington Hospital. when I first met him my first reaction was that this man is just all over the place with patients and medications and I mean this in a good way because he's trying to fit in so many patients and he does a thorough job on diagnosing their apnea or whatever pulmonary issue they might have and unlike some of the not so nice reviews about him especially being on his computer he is actually typing away and double-checking the patient's information on the electronic medical record system so that he can get everything straight from front to back. well couple of my friends went there due to their asthmatic issues and they were prescribed a few medications and were told what types of environmental hazards to get rid of from their homes such as plants and possible animals and quite frankly they are doing great and rarely even touch the meds. would I recommend him? absolutely as well as the other fellow pulmonologist there who I met on separate occasions which are all great and super friendly and very young but extremely knowledgeable. About the front office staff, I have noticed that because these doctors are on call at any given time at the hospital the staff need to be on their toes and then some at any given time and at every single moment. I have seen the two people in front check patients in and check patients out as well as scheduled their procedures such as bronchoscopy or whatever Surgical Necessities have been ordered, at the same time they are putting on an average of two to four calls on hold and trying to keep everything intact and I was observing everything and I noticed that everyone takes care of the patients with a smile regardless of how big of a load is on the plate. the front desk girl by the name of Esther is very on-point and very organized and extremely knowledgeable in answering any questions a patient might have and then you have the I want to say head medical assistant by the name of Marlene who is also a close friend of one of the doctors I heard and she was helping with my friends spirometry test and doing the vitals and she is such a cheerful person that really calm down the patients prior to seeing the doctor especially if it's a first-time patient. now as for the office manager who I believe her name is Jimi, was helping one of my friends with a billing issue and cleared it up and explain everything thoroughly to a point that after two minutes we had absolutely no questions of how the HMO insurance was working and on top of that she is such a bright cheerful person and I can understand that as the office manager she must take on a lot but as crazy as it was with all the patients coming in and out and the phone calls coming in and out she took the time to explain things without any Rush and quite frankly she is keeping the place intact. long story short ,Dr Patel as well as the other fellow pulmonologists, are the go-to people for anyone with any type of breathing disorders and yes they are all very busy and take their time to get to know their patients and thoroughly go through all of their issues in order to make a proper diagnosis so you might have to wait an extra 5-10 minutes but by the end of it you probably will not have to come back for another 6 months to a year because the doctors have already put in a game plan on how to treat your issue and how to manage and take care of it therefore I would totally recommend coming to the Huntington pulmonary Medical Group, so much that I am actually going to bring my loved ones there because many of them have asthma and severe allergies and I would not trust any other doctors but these so go ahead and ignore those other reviews but take it from me who just saw them about a week ago that they work there butts off and they all do it with a smile. and in case if anyone is wondering there are three women who work billing up in the back by the names of Vanessa and Sophia and I think her name was Rebecca who speak Spanish and I've seen them drop what they were doing and go and act as The Interpreter for patients and by the time the appointment was over everyone came out arm and arm laughing and smiling like family so you really can't go wrong by coming here.

    I like Dr Patel and have been seeing him for years, but his office is a mess…read more I have experienced an egregious lack of commitment to the most basic level of communication and time management within his practice. Too many hours have been spent - yes hours - trying to sort out the mistakes caused by poor organization and communication within his team. They have dropped the ball on prescriptions, sleep studies, office visits and equipment suppliers. I have tried to get past it but over time, it all adds up. I have mentioned this to Dr.Patel directly. I believe he knows yet over the last few years he has not made patient care and communication a priority in his practice. Sadly, looking for a new physician to treat sleep apnea diagnosis.

    Dr. Young is great; he explains things very clearly and is very patient with me; he is a nice guy…read more The staff here is very friendly and efficient. They moved from Pasadena to Duarte a couple of years ago. Their office here is also a sleep lab, and it should be quite convenient to schedule a test here. (I did mine back when they were in Pasadena.) The above is a typical yelp review, but the most important thing here is that Dr. Young saved me! Two years ago, Dr. Young diagnosed my sleep apnea, and prescribed the right treatment for me (CPAP). My health improved dramatically, and as a consequence life has become fun again. If you are reading this review, then most probably you have some sleep problems. Don't wait! Get some treatment!

    I absolutely love Dr. Young! He is a great listener, a caring doctor, and just a nice person! He…read morehas gone out of his way to help me get accurate information and to make sure that I understand everything that we talk about. I've never felt rushed like with some doctors, and he encourages patients to ask lots of questions and isn't even bothered by patients reading up online (some doctors get annoyed or sometimes take it personally when you've done your homework ahead of time). I have referred friends to Dr. young and will continue to do so. Also, his staff is pretty great, I've never waited longer than 5 minutes to be seen, they are friendly, and they're pretty together!
