    Hirano went out of his way to recheck my information from a recent hospital stay and help me set up an appointment with a very busy cardiologist.

    Rarely does anyone enjoy a visit to the doctor...but I was extremely impressed with Dr. Mortara…read more Dr Mortara not only went out of her way to listen to my concerns, she spent quality time with me. Dr Mortara explained things to me and zeroed in on my medical problems. Dr was so thorough, she ordered tests , posted results on "My Chart " and scheduled appt for future. I have been to MANY specialists, for last 4 years to no avail. FINALLY! After a short wait I was lucky enough to get in and see Dr Mortara. She is the first dr. who listened and took action. Dr. is very busy, but worth the wait if u have issues that nobody else can solve! I HIGHLY recommend her. Katy Simone

She herself calling her patient how's it going on any problem issue etc. I was with one of the Dr that almost every other wk having an appointment which was not necessary but Dr L MORTARA all I can d say she's the best Doctor that I'm seeing her almost 10 yrs I would say and she always ask what can she do to you in order to help you if things not helping . She always wanted to have us at least 4-6 month to see or make appointment in order to make sure everything is good. Dr Laurie MORTARA the best Doctor that you can count on. She's like a family to you she's always happy smiling and very nice best Doctor I really like her. Thank you for having us and thank you for all

    Dr. Rand was my physician for many years. A more caring, dedicated, and knowledgeable physician I…read morehave yet to meet. Unfortunately, I could not take him with me when I moved to Washington five years ago. Thank you to the staff who got my records to Harborview, etc.

    Dr. Rand is truly a remarkable doctor. I first saw him when I was admitted to the hospital after…read morefailed outpatient care: four weeks of IV antibiotics that were ineffective in treating my severe cellulitis. Furthermore, I'm a hard stick. A REALLY hard stick. Two days into my first week of infusions, the hospital recommended a midline which ended up failing due to dvt, and I ended up having to get a PICC line put in just to be able to administer my antibiotics. No other doctors could figure this out and it perpetuated for almost six weeks.....and Dr. Rand and his elegant medicine cured me in 3 days. Then, when I ended up leaving the hospital AMA (due to a bad nursing interaction) i couldn't get my own primary care physician to remove the line, or even call me back for two weeks. If I hadn't known all the risks and care for that particular kind of line, I easily could have gotten EXTREMELY ill or even died. My insurance finally approved me to go to Dr. Rand for follow up care, and the office staff called me back to confirm my info and make an appointment for the next available day.....they did bloodwork, and painlessly pulled the line the same day. I am extremely impressed with him AND the office staff. I wish I could make him my primary care doctor! Thanks for everything.

She has taken, and continues to take terrific care of me That said, within this page, I came upon a woman who had some less than positive things (a couple of years ago) to say about Adriana at the front desk. I've been interacting with Adriana for a good portion of those 22 years, and contrary to what this other woman had to say, I've always found Adriana to be one of the kindest and most compassionate staffmembers in a medical office that I have ever come across. Whenever I need to see the doctor, I always look forward to seeing Adriana as part of the visit. I don't know what this other woman's experience was, but she certainly was not describing the Adriana that I have come to know.

    Thirteen years ago I developed a number of symptoms after clearing a difficult respiratory…read moreinfection. These symptoms initially started as inflammatory/reactive arthritis of the hips, buttocks and thighs. But additional symptoms surfaced over 18 months to include fatigue, pre-fainting , pleurisy, illness, neurological problems and fainting. I worked with a number of Specialist who ruled out possible causes. Eventually Dr. Franco of the Arthritis Center of Riverside diagnosed Mycoplasma pneumoniae. I was successfully treated with long term and maintenance doses of antibiotics. The treatment was successful for 5 symptom free years. I developed a reinfection 5 years later but Dr. Franco was only partially able to reduce the symptoms which led me to seeking treatment from an Infectious Disease Specialist. I have had two visits with Dr. Milefchik. One visit in 2023 and March of 2026. In 2023 I provided my case study to Dr. Milefchik for review. I received a call from his staff advising he wanted to see me with an appointment set up 4 months later. During my visit Dr. Milefchik entered the room, stated he has seen some of Dr. Franco's patients in the past commenting they were a "little crazy". In the 15 minute visit he interpreted the Mycoplasma test results as inconclusive and a number of theories were presented including if I ever had an exposure to Covid (the case at that time was 10 years old and I never had Covid). As I addressed these theories one by one he finally stated he needed to follow the hippocratic oath of "do no harm" and provided no treatment. In my opinion Dr. Milefchik was uninformed about Mycoplasma. After a 16 month failed attempt to get a group of Specialist from UCLA to work together as a team to protect my overall health and treatment for Mycoplasma I needed to start from scratch to build a team of Specialists outside the UCLA network. In this process a Primary Specialist provided me a referral to Dr. Milefchik. In the three years since I had seen Dr. Milefchik additional facts were documented which strengthened my case. Upon my visit March of 2026 he initially stated he knew little about Mycoplasma. As I tried to discuss the facts of my case his interpretation made no sense to me. It is well documented that Mycoplasma IGG test results can indicate a past infection or active infection and the patients symptoms need to be considered. I ran the test over a 20 month period showing elevated IGG correlating to my flare up of symptoms of this disease. Yet Dr. Milefchik stated there was a number of reasons why my body would cause elevated Mycoplasma IGG, without giving me a specific example. He stated antibiotics can act as anti-inflammatory yet he failed to mention it can also act both as anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory. And past testing revealed my inflammatory markers were low. Dr. Milefchik stated research 20 years ago on Mycoplasma did not result in identifying root cause of a number of symptoms thought to be caused by Mycoplasma. But when I informed him the CDC now recognizes a number of chronic symptoms linked to Mycoplasma he dismissed their findings. We never even discussed symptoms I have been suffering from. It became clear to me he has not educated himself on the latest Mycoplasma research and the seriousness of this disease. At the end of our visit he commentated a number of people have to live with pain for un-diagnosed illnesses and he didn't think I would get any Infectious Disease Specialist to support my case. My response was if these symptoms were intermittent I may be able to live with them. But the symptoms are chronic causing suffering and I would continue to seek support for my case. I decided to present my case to Infectious Disease Specialist Dr. Labalo, who works in the same office. I received a call from his staff stating per policy Dr. Labalo can't see me as a patient because I was under the care of Dr. Milefchik. I pointed out Dr. Milefchik was ignorant of my case and was not providing any treatment. I was told their policy stands and a referral was given to me for Dr. Eric Daar. I reviewed Dr. Daar's qualifications. Per harborid.org "His research focuses on pathogenesis and treatment of acute and chronic HIV infection, management of complications of HIV infection, novel strategies for addressing engagement in HIV care, and developing strategies for prevention and treatment of COVID-19". I have neither HIV nor ever had Covid-19.
