Dr. Mahloch had called us in and her voice was loud enough for Dad to hear, but it didn't sound like she was screaming at him.

This provider really knows his stuff. He was the third specialist I consulted for hearing aids, and…read moreit was clear he has a strong technical grasp of the subject. He's kind, polite, and professional, and he took the time to walk me through every step of the process. Even though the appointment ran late--and he knew I wasn't ready to make a purchase--he continued to answer my questions patiently without ever rushing or pressuring me. It's a smaller practice, but that translates into a more personalized, white-glove level of service with excellent attention to detail--something you don't always get with larger chains. He carries a wide range of brands and is flexible in his approach, even offering the option to purchase hearing aids without a bundled service plan. He's also willing to work with you to find the right product at the right price. I highly recommend him.

After visiting other hearing aid offices, I have to say American Hearing & Balance is by far the best hearing aid office I have found.

I met with Dr. Sesi and immediately liked him. He was kind and friendly with my son, spent time explaining the reasoning behind the tubes, and I left feeling confident in his recommendation for the procedure. After our 5th ear infection a week or so after our first appointment, we scheduled the procedure to take place at LCOM hospital right across the street. Everything went amazingly well, there was good communication throughout pre and post op, and my son's ears look great. Others below have mentioned that the texting as the main form of communication with the office is an issue, but I didn't have any problems. If I didn't hear back about a question, I followed up and didn't have to wait more than 24 hours for a response. Everyone I dealt with from surgery scheduling to Dr. Sesi's assistant was extremely nice. I would highly recommend Dr. Sesi if you have little ones in need of ear tubes.

Dr. Milefchick saved my life…read more I had two near fatal deaths in the hospital from different forms of lupus flares, sepsis from the centralized catheter that was removed on my birthday. My lungs had collapsed and a code blue was called on me. The technicians and nurses were frantically running around me and told me I went unconscious. This was the beginning of my second Lupus-Induced hospitalization. While I found out later how other doctors told their nurses how I 'was a goner", Milefchick stayed the course despite me being in the ICU (intensive care unit). Dr. Milefchick is one of the very rare doctors that understand my lupus, and me. He is truly kind, authentic and empathetic. This doctor LISTENS very WELL, does not minimize my situation and circumstance in any way and does not cut you off mid-sentence. The reason I say this because several doctors constantly minimize your lupus symptoms and many think it's 'all in your head" and tell you some version to "think more positively" (if people got lupus from not "thinking positively" all the time, trust me, EVERYONE in this world would have lupus). Additionally, many doctors contain a vast amount of knowledge in their minds, but lack the Wisdom of applying their knowledge accordingly to different situations. Thankfully, Milefchick has WISDOM too. Milefchick in another way of saying, acknowledges the TRUTH of the severity of my condition and never cajoles me to 'reconsidering' the truth of it. He also acknowledges in both verbal and non-verbal communication that I am indeed a fighter, which is not as common as one would think while being up against the degree I've had to suffer from lupus. While the average doctor cares not, Dr. Milefchick exceeds all expectations in his words and actions, and it shows. I know this doctor's schedule fills up a great deal but give this person a chance. In this case, it is worth the wait. He will spend the quality time with you which you deserve. At the very least, this man won't rush you out the door and finish your sentences for you.

My name is Kemp Massengill, MD, and my medical background is that of a practicing Eye Surgeon for…read more25 years specializing only in cataract and lens implant surgery. As a senior citizen, I developed cataracts myself and needed to select an Eye Surgeon for my own visual rehabilitation requirements. Having practiced cataract and lens implant surgery for decades in Southern California, I personally know many qualified Eye Surgeons who would operate on my eyes and do a nice job. What I was looking for, however, was not only an Eye Surgeon with outstanding surgical talent - but also an Eye Surgeon who treats patients with genuine caring and respect, as I did for my own cataract and lens implant surgery patients. I found this Eye Surgeon - Patrick Yeh, MD. Doctor Yeh was referred by my wife's Family Doctor at UCLA Health, even though Doctor Yeh was in the Torrance (Cedars Sinai) group, rather than UCLA. Patrick Yeh, MD, is the most conscientious Eye Surgeon I have personally met, and now I have had both cataracts removed - AND I AM DELIGHTED! Doctor Yeh's practice is NOT a Medicare-cataract surgery mill - with such doctors churning through 80-100 patients a day. In my opinion, it is impossible to be truly thorough in these high-volume situations. Doctor Yeh's practice is medium-sized, and it is obvious that he likes it that way - as then he can thoroughly examine each patient, using not only his excellent medical/surgical skills, but using the very latest in ocular test equipment. I believe that in my own cataract and lens implant surgical practice that I was the most thorough surgeon I know (please don't take this as arrogance: patients told me this over and over) - but Doctor Yeh is even more thorough even than I was. This is very impressive to me, and I cannot overstate how very fortunate I am that I chose Doctor Yeh. Also, there is no such thing as cataract and lens implant surgery being a 'simple' procedure. This is marketing 'hype' to lure patients in the door. This is NOT a 'simple' procedure, and serious complications can occur, although it is not lengthy surgery, such as a heart transplant would be. Also again, many patients have co-existing retinal problems, such as macular degeneration, retinal wrinkling, macular edema, branch vein or branch artery occlusions, and other problems, such as glaucoma, which limit the final vision, even with perfectly executed small-incision cataract and lens implant surgery. Patients are sometimes in denial regarding what are called co-morbidities. And retinal problems are difficult to diagnose in advance of cataract surgery - because the view of the retina (the back of the eye) is obscured by the cloudiness of the cataract in front of the retina. It is like looking through a foggy windshield and trying to clearly read distant signs. In fact, denial is a normal human trait. For instance: Why would someone who has had a coronary bypass procedure and a bad heart frequently eat a double cheeseburger with extra bacon and extra cheese? Or 3 doughnuts? The reason can only be denial of the damage from this diet (tasty as it is!). Again, it is a normal human trait to be in denial of risk. And it has been demonstrated over and over - such as in very compelling videotaped risk discussions of patients undergoing very serious, life-threatening, heart surgery - that after the surgery, many patients will be adamant that the risks were never discussed. When shown the videotape of such discussions of risks, they are truly amazed, as they had complete amnesia for ANY discussion of risks. I myself have a little wrinkling of my left retina, and this affects my vision a little bit - again, because of my retinal pathology. The cataract surgery did not cause this! In summary, the cataracts are gone, and the surgery performed by Doctor Yeh was absolutely pristine! Doctor Patrick Yeh truly knows what he is doing, and is a very caring and deeply concerned human being (in a world where caring is all too often a missing ingredient). And if I you wish to discuss any of this with me, please send me an email to kemp.massengill@gmail.com, and be sure to put on the subject line : Regarding Patrick Yeh, MD. AS A CATARACT/LENS IMPLANT SURGEON MYSELF, I GIVE PATRICK YEH, MD, THE VERY HIGHEST 5-STAR RATING POSSIBLE. THANK YOU, DOCTOR YEH!!
