I took my son to see Dr. Monfared because he was sick. After examining him, she recommended a strep…read moretest, and my husband and I agreed. She later returned and told us that my son tested positive for strep. I then asked if my husband and I could also be tested, and she later told us that all three of us tested positive. However, we were not shown the test results. She prescribed antibiotics for my son. I asked if she could also prescribe antibiotics for my husband and me, but she said she could not, which I understood. After leaving, I decided to seek a second opinion the same day. Another doctor tested all three of us for strep, and all of the results came back negative. That doctor also showed us the actual test results. To be thorough, we also went to Hoag Urgent Care later that same day for another test, and those results also came back negative for strep. Both places told us that what my son has is most likely viral and does not require antibiotics. I want to give Dr. Monfared the benefit of the doubt, but this experience was very concerning. I'm not sure if there was an issue with the testing process, the test kit, or some other explanation. It was frightening because I was very close to giving my baby--who is under 18 months old--antibiotics that may not have been necessary. This situation was especially disappointing because I had hoped she could become my son's pediatrician. It is very easy to make appointments, often even on the same day, the office is close to us, and she appears to be easy to talk to.

I normally dont do reviews, but this is the 2nd time I've had unprofessional service when I…read moredesperately needed proper and timely care for my kids. The first time I sat in the waiting room an hour and a half after my scheduled appointment to be seen just for the dr to brush off every concern. The whole visit took over 2 hours and there was only 1 other patient. The 2nd time was 3 weeks later and I showed up 10 min early for a 10am appointment. The receptionist took vitals and the dr wasn't even in the building. We sat in the waiting room for over 40 min before deciding to leave. The dr drove past me as I was leaving the parking lot lot. Apparently coming in late is becoming a normal practice for this dr. Beware this is not a medical group. This is one individual dr that runs this office. If she's not there on time youre waiting for her. I see she used to get great reviews, but maybe time has taken its tole and the quality isn't there anymore.

I am documenting my experience regarding continuity of care and prescription management…read more I returned to Dr. Cecchini with a detailed patient statement outlining my treatment needs. Referrals were submitted appropriately with the exception of one of them.However, when it came to maintaining an established and effective treatment plan, I encountered resistance. Despite the medication being previously approved by insurance and clinically effective, I was told I no longer qualified based on current lab values. This overlooks the fact that the improved labs are a direct result of the treatment itself. Discontinuing or blocking access under these circumstances disrupts continuity of care. Additionally, there were concerning communications indicating uncertainty about how the treatment was approved in the first place, which was inappropriate and not patient-centered. I also experienced delays due to authorization errors that required correction. Once identified, the necessary updates were not completed within the expected timeframe, further delaying care. I understand providers are managing heavy workloads and administrative burdens. However, prior authorizations and continuity of care are part of the treatment process. Patients should not have to repeatedly advocate for access to a therapy that is already working. I would strongly encourage clearer communication, accurate handling of authorizations, and a more consistent commitment to maintaining effective treatment plans.

It started off well even though the visits are thorough but unecessarily long. My husband lost his…read moresight and ability to drive last summer (after they delayed his medication and eyes hemorrhaged, I don't know if this is their fault or not but it might be). We've been drowning in appointments and care since then finding out his last eye doctor was undertreating him and looking for a new one etc. He had an appointment booked with Dr. Cecchini and I canceled it because it was one of those follow-ups of low importance compared to his eye appointment he needed instead with a new doctor that books months out. After we canceled this appointment, the office refused to refill his routine diabetic medication he's been on for years. I cycled through one after another staff member and each time I called, re-explaining the situation. Some were condescending and then acted as if I was out of line for asking for something simple. Each day I called they would say "He will call back today." Then he wouldn't. I accessed the after hours line and they were upset that I called after hours. Each time, they berated him for canceling that appointment even though he was just seen a couple months prior. They wouldn't even let me make a new appointment just to get a refill, which makes no sense. I talked to the stand-in office manager who was very nice and apologized for the craziness and promised to resolve the situation since he was just seen under the doctor's care. She didn't. After days of trying to get any response, out of desperation for my husband's health, I called the cell phone number of his I had from a year ago that I got from them. The next day, the regular manager called me back and I was excited to finally get a response so my husband could, you know, not have high blood sugar levels or risk of eye hemorrhaging (a lot to ask apparently). But instead, the only purpose of her call was to berate me for calling his cell. They still would not refill his medicine OR offer a new appointment. I was absolutely confused and switched doctors. Then the office sent a letter in the mail dropping my husband from their care because he missed the appointment (which was canceled ahead of time) and for calling his cell phone number which they gave me. They will probably respond to this message putting their own spin on what happened since the whole time they were treating me as if I was asking for an outlandish miracle. We really just wanted the diabetes medicine refill, it was so crazy!!
