I've never dealt with a more rude, condescending physician in my life. How she has any positive…read morereviews is beyond me. Went to her for TRT therapy and had nothing but problems. She kept consistently lowering my testosterone dose unnecessarily and when I voiced my concerns about it because I didn't want to lose muscle, she was dismissive, disrespectful and said "I'm not concerned with how much muscle you have. I'm concerned with your health". Right...smh. That might sound good but trust me, she doesn't give a sh*t about my health. She cares about covering her *ss. I build machines and performance cars and maintaining my strength and muscle mass is important to being able to do my job. It's not about vanity but she either doesn't get that or doesn't give a sh*t. Either way, I will never go to her again and would not recommend her to anyone.

Thank you yelpers! I came because of the reviews. Great English communicator, explains and…read moreeducates, great bedside manners, straight to point in what he can help with or not off of my choice since my numbers weren't bad enough for need of medication. He encourages to find coping mechanism which was really nice to hear. Most doctors don't offer even that advice. Experience (covid times/plenty vaccine supplies days): I came to get some answers/learn. He understands what sjogrens autoimmunity is and understands it can cause havoc anywhere anytime which was really nice acknowledgement. Only doctor that explained so clearly what sjogrens autoimmunity is to a real person. Everything he said was on point and I was shocked since I'm use to other doctors just either puzzled by me or spewing off book studies of what I have. Autoimmunity is a guessing game in trying to also get help. I've gone through sooo many specialists. He's the first to acknowledge outloud my situation as it relates to a real person. I assume he has patients with autoimmunity. He offers encouragement to fight to cope. If my thyroid progresses to be worse or I have other questions relating to his speciality, then defintely will be coming back to see him. Paper Work: First time patients need to bring insurance card and ID, and sign 4 papers, includes financial responsibility (normal), info (normal), medical release form (for possibilities of needing or giving info), arbitration form (those office requires this; if don't sign then will not been seen/rescheduled appt). They have you sign these forms outside of the office Entrance: Once inside the building, you can use the elevator (3ppl) and press P OR use the stairway that leads to rooftop open air (3 floors up to his office?). Parking: Free on street. Paid for the lot in front of it.

She takes all the time you want to go over ever detail of medications, lab results, general health issues. She is very proactive when it comes to dealing with any issue that you present. The friend who referred me to Dr. Ng literally owes her life to Dr. Ng who diagnosed in very early stages cancer of her kidney, and who is now completely recovered and healthy. You can call her any time of day or night and you get HER, not her exchange. She gives you email and cell phone. The best medical treatment I have ever found. If you go to see her and engage her as your doctor, please tell her that Robert Earhart referred you. And, send me an email at earhartr@aol.com to let me know if you have any questions or how things go. You will do yourself the best favor ever to make Dr. Ng your doctor for life!

Dedicating my 1300th review to the incomparable Dr. Dorothea Spambalg and her incredible staff of…read moreYesenia, Valerie and Joanne Lamberty (retired Dietician as of January 2020), thank you so much!!! Words cannot express how thankful and grateful that am I to have such an amazing Endocrinologist on my medical team. Parking: Street metered parking along Garfield Avenue next to the Pasadena Public Library ($1.25 per hour) or you can park in the building's parking lot ($8). COVID-19 Procedures: Before your appointment starts, you will call them to notify of your arrival. The front door will then be unlocked. You will be asked the basic COVID-19 questions and given a temperature check. Afterwards, you will proceed with your medical appointment. Dr. Spambalg and team adheres to all COVID-19 practices (gloves, masks, hand sanitizer and staying 6ft apart). Side Note: Dr. Spambalg is out-of-network and so, you will be paying out of pocket for the medical visits/teleconferences, but it is worth it. The good part is that your medical insurance covers the medications. Ever since I started working with Dr. Spambalg and her staff in October 2019, both my life and health has literally and drastically changed for the better. Just when I thought I had lost all hope of ever controlling my two major, chronic medical conditions, Dr. Spambalg came to the rescue. Her expertise, knowledge, guidance and compassionate care showed me the way. She has definitely made me a firm believer that I can control my two major, chronic medical conditions. As long as you put in the work and effort, you will see the results. She will provide you guidance and advice along with the right medications (adjusted as needed based on your lab work, which also helps keep you accountable). If you need additional medical help outside her expertise, she will also refer you to them as well. All medical visits and notes will also be sent to your doctor(s) to keep in them loop. Dr. Spambalg truly cares and wants you to get better. Best of all, she is very punctual, but never rush you. She will listen and address all your medical concerns before you end the session with her. If you have any further questions or inquiries, they are just a phone call away. With Dietician Joanne Lamberty, she was also caring and compassionate. With her guidance and advice, she gave me the necessary tools that I needed to learn and understand which foods were good and bad against my two major, chronic medical conditions. She also taught me how to properly count carbs and how to log in my caloric intake via MyFitnessPal app. Even though she has retired as of January 2020, as needed, Joanne will still be a phone call away. Yesenia and Valerie are also wonderful too! Both ladies are kind and professional. Yesenia is fantastic with showing you tips and tricks on how to make injections and finger pricking less painful and scary. I was terrified at first, but now, it is a normal routine for me. Valerie is also awesome with handling all the administrative aspect (appointment reminders/setups, ensuring all medical billings goes through, medication refills and lab work sent to the appropriate labs, etc). Yesenia also shares that part of the administrative work too, but she handles more of the pre-examinations before you meet with Dr. Spambalg. Overall, I highly recommend Dr. Spambalg for all your endocrinology needs. She is truly the best of the best! Once again, thank you so much to Dr. Spambalg, Joanne Lamberty, Yesenia and Valerie for all that you do! Until our next medical appointment!

I was having trouble with my thyroid and my doctor suggested I see an endocrinologist. I did a…read moresearch for those in my neighborhood. Everyone I called said their earliest appointment was two months out. I didn't want to wait that long so I kept calling. The last on my list was Dr Drange. When I spoke to Lucas he said he had an appointment available in 3 weeks. Perfect! Out of everyone I spoke to Lucas was also the friendliest. He explained that I needed to fill out some paperwork first and he would e-mail it to me. Within a few minutes it was in my in box. The day of my appointment I arrived at the office a bit early. I was the only one on the waiting room and a cheerful Lucas greeted me right away. A few minute later Roberto took my temperature then escorted me in. Much like Lucas I immediately got a good vibe from Roberto. He is so chilled and laid back. He took my vitals and walked me to the exam room. A few short minutes later Dr Drange came in. She took the time to listen to me and explained to me what the next steps would be to determine my diagnosis. She suggested an ultrasound of my thyroid and a more in-depth blood test - both of which she could do in her office. Dr Drange did the ultrasound herself - explaining things along the way. Then she brought me to another room where Roberto would take my blood. I dread blood test but Roberto immediately put me at ease. He was very gentle when taking my blood and it didn't hurt at all. I wish all techs were this good! A week later Dr Drange called with the results of my tests and my diagnosis. It's so hard to find a good Dr but I really felt comfortable with her. I appreciated that she listened to my concerns and explained everything to me and made sure I understood what was going on. When I came back for my follow up visit I had the same pleasant experience. Doctor visits are always scary and stressful so I really appreciate the effort that Dr Drange and her staff make to make sure their patients are comfortable and put them at ease. I'm so grateful I found them and am even more grateful that she is going to help me get my life and health back on track.

Unfortunately, my last experience was not a pleasant one. Last week, I spoke to the receptionist…read morebecause my refills of my prescription had run out so I booked an appointment a week out and was told to go to any Quest location to get bloodwork done. During the same call, I also told the receptionist I needed copies of my files for my Physician and eventually for a new endocrinologist because I moved from the Pasadena area. She said that I would need to fill out the form that will be emailed to me and I would receive the documents within 48 hours. Unfortunately, I did not receive the documents on time which caused me to have to reschedule my appointment with my physician. This past Tuesday, I had to call their office to cancel my appointment because I couldn't get an appointment for bloodwork. I told the receptionist I would call back in once I have gotten the bloodwork done. Today (Thursday) I took time to go to Quest to get bloodwork done and I was told they do not have any requests for bloodwork sent by Dr. Drange's office. So, I waited for about 30-45 minutes and they still didn't receive anything. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a hold of anyone from their office around 11 a.m. or 12:00 p.m.-12:25 p.m. so Quest had to deny my appointment and told me I had to rebook it for another time. Around 12:45 p.m. I received a call from Ruth stating because I requested a transfer of records that they cancelled the bloodwork request. The transfer of records and bloodwork was being done concurrently, so it doesn't make sense to close out my records at their office if that wasn't even communicated to me. It would have been helpful if the receptionist told me on Tuesday when I had to cancel my appointment that they were going to close out my records as a patient, so I didn't have to take time out of my day to try to get bloodwork. On a positive note there is room for improvement, if the front desk and their medical records department kept better lines of communication it would really help their patients out to avoid these misunderstandings and time wasted on the patients' side. And since the receptionist is their first line of contact, the receptionist should note in their system what was spoken about to the patient if it could potentially affect what it done on their medical records side of their office.
