    Made an appointment a week and half ago. Told them I have records I can bring in during that call…read more The front office girl whom I can't even understand said it was ok and that they would request the records from my doctor. I had an appointment today at 11am. I call 10:45 because my televist link wasn't sent. That's when I found out that my appointment was canceled because they did not have the records. I also cannot get an appointment until June because Dr. Martin will be out doing surgeries all of May. How do you run a business like this? This is the worst experience I have ever had with the healthcare system. Some people are not meant to be doctors.

I have photos of at least 9 lawsuits by patients families that their loved ones either died or seriously harmed at his hand. I have reported him to the CA Medical Board but everyone is covering up for him, Dr. Death. He operated out of several hospitals but not an employee of these hospitals. He has so many different names, so many different websites, you get the picture. Some of the names are: California Institute of Neuroscience, Inc., California Brain Institute, Inc. Cineuro.org. Also, he goes by several different names. Very sketchy. He even lost the part of my brother's skull during a surgery that he botched, where my brother eventually died. He pretends he is the best in the world, but look out. The problem is most people don't have time to google him or do a deep dive as their loved ones are in the emergency room with brain injuries, that need immediate care. But you can find all this information on Unicourt.com or Trellis.com, that shows you how many people have been injured by his surgery. This needs a below a one star review, it should be a minus one thousand.

    Front office is MEAN! Too bad because the doctors are great. The most important part of a medical…read morepractice is the front desk. This group has the WORST staff. Go somewhere else.

    I can't speak to Dr. Rabbani, because I didn't receive treatment from them (or anyone) during my…read morevisit. I can say this office is poorly run, deceptive, and incompetent. I requested an appointment for evaluation for autism and adhd, which they told me they did at this office over the phone, and booked an appointment for me. This was the sole reason for the appointment. After paying my co-pay for the evaluation, I was told by the nurse practitioner that they didn't perform those evaluations and they wouldn't treat me for adhd or autism. They refused to refund my co-pay despite not treating me or performing an evaluation. I'm not sure what they are going to say to my insurance as the basis for the visit, but a 5-minute "consultation" about not being able to treat me or provide the evaluation they told me they performed isn't a medical service. It was at best a misunderstanding on their part of the services offered and at worst medical fraud. Mixups and errors can happen, but them refusing to refund my co-pay for their mistake/fraud is beyond absurd given the less than 5 minutes of being told they couldn't do anything for me that I received from them. After being initially denied the refund, and after speaking to a manager at the office on the issue, they told me they would reach out to me to discuss a potential reconsideration of their decision. They failed to reach out over the next two weeks and probably won't ever, because apparently their word doesn't matter here. I also heard them discussing a medical file with other patients while I was waiting in the waiting room and they had the wrong patient's file. In my opinion, the most egregious combination of incompetence and deception I've ever seen by any business, let alone a medical office.

    I want to take a moment to recognize the exceptional care I received from Dr. Adrian Huffard during…read moremy recent ER visit. From the moment he entered the room, Dr. Huffard was warm, calm, and genuinely attentive. I came in with a complex and fairly uncommon issue, and instead of brushing it off or rushing through the encounter, he took the time to truly listen to my experience and concerns. He ordered and reviewed my imaging personally, explained his findings clearly, and validated what I was feeling rather than dismissing it. What stood out most was his receptiveness and willingness to go above and beyond: he took the initiative to research this unique specialty in real time so he could communicate with me more accurately and thoughtfully. He also helped me identify and recommended top specialists for appropriate follow-up, which gave me clarity and peace of mind moving forward. I also want to acknowledge the male nurse who assisted during my visit (unfortunately I didn't catch his name). He was professional, kind, and made a stressful situation feel much more manageable. Too often people only leave reviews when something goes wrong. This experience was the opposite. Dr. Huffard exemplifies what patient-centered, competent, and compassionate care should look like. I'm extremely grateful and would not hesitate to recommend him. Sending sincere gratitude, positive health, and continued success to Dr. Huffard, the nursing staff, and all who read this. May your work continue to bring healing and reassurance to many.

    This time it was my turn in the ER and it was no different than with my parents. This is a teaching…read morehospital and most of the students/residents are C students at best. As someone with a doctorate as well, I know what base level of critical thinking skills an MD should have. I was dressed like a professor and yet they still treated me like I was an idiot. Actually, maybe they felt threatened knowing that I would see right through their charade. I came in with severe vomiting for four days and I knew it was from a medication I was taking. I wanted to make sure it wasn't pancreatitis as that was a side effect of the medication. My heart rate was a little high from vomiting, not eating and also from an ADHD stimulant. The nurse looking at my heart rate said "ADHD stimulants do not affect heart rate." Are you for real? So they gave me an EKG. The first doctor said it was fine and he wasn't sure why they were holding me. Next a group of 5 somber and patronizing looking doctor/residents approached and said that my EKG was "alarming" and that I had just had a heart attack. I looked at him straight in the eyes and said "No, I didn't. I've been vomiting, that's why everything looks screwed up." Another doctor glared at me and asked me "Do you know how you got diabetes?" with a mocking look on his face. I responded "I sat on the same toilet seat as someone with diabetes." Another kept questioning my medications and why I was taking them. They didn't have the knowledge or critical thinking ability to understand that medications are used for different things including off-label use. Speaking of which, I had to go without one medication for three days because nobody could "find it in the system." Five of the doctors did not know what Rybelsus is. 2 of those 5 didn't know what Semaglutide is and what it's used for. That is disqualifying in my eyes. I easily met 30 different doctor/residents during my time in the ER. Every. single. one. asked the same damn thing over and over and said the same damn thing as the others over and over... right in front of each other! Some of them were fighting with other residents for who got to speak first. It was pathetic. Every resident/doctor in the ER was somber, angry, unsupportive, patronizing and egotistical. They set me off, and I was extremely furious and wasn't taking it from these clowns. I've never spoken to professionals the way that I spoke to these people. Their lack of bedside manner, lack of knowledge and lack of critical thinking skills did not warrant my respect. I was "diagnosed" with the following, by the staff using their Fisher Price doctor kit: - sepsis (nope) - heart attack (nope) - diabetic ketoacedosis (nope) - bad reaction to medication (that's the one!) I was stuck in that hell hole for THREE DAYS to do a series of tests on my heart, ALL of which came back normal. And the kicker? They never even admitted me! So now I am on the hook for "observation" rather than my insurance paying the bill for being admitted. The financial "counselor" offered me a 20% discount if I pay now! What is this? A used car lot? **This entire thing was an insurance scam** and I knew it from the second the residents/doctors overrode the other resident/doctor who said there was nothing wrong with my EKG. Boy is Los Robles already teaching these students to extort money from insurance companies. Good on them I guess. The care in the hospital itself was quite good. Shoutout to Susan/Susie who was a great nurse. There was also one female resident that was amazing and I unfortunately don't know her name. Dr Mehdi was also good. They were the only ones that were worth a damn.
