This Doctor's office is absolutely so frustrating to work with. Buckle in. Get ready for this…read morerollercoaster. First, they have a Nurse practitioner and also Dr. Ho who my dad saw probably twice the ten times he went to visit this office. The first day we went to the office, we had brought all the medicine my dad was taking. But I told the NP that he still had enough medicine so they did not need to refill it right away and that if we needed a refill we could have the pharamacy contact the doctor's office and she said, okay sounds good. By the time my dad needed to get a refill. The pharmacy contacted me telling me that the Doctor's office would not respond to them. Okay no problem, I called the Doctor's Office. They told me that they would check for me and have the doctor send it in later. Except, by the next day there was no refill. The doctor's office never sent the prescription. Okay. Let me call again. Now they want my dad to go in. New Doctor's office, maybe they missed something. We brought all my dad's medicine again just in case. A couple weeks later. My dad needed a refill on a different medication. But the pharmacist said that the doctor's office denied the refill. I call the doctor's office again. Okay, they will refill it. Next day. No refill. Okay. Let me call again. At this point, they always say that they will see what's going on and call me back. But they NEVER do. I have to call back the next day. I am patient with them because I know how hectic it can be at a doctor's office. But I always have to re-explain that my dad needs refills. That I called the day before and that they are rejecting the requests to refill, there is absolutely no communication here. This happens almost every two months since we started going in the beginning of the year! The last couple of visits was what got me so upset. They once again denied a refill. So I called the office to ask them if he could get a refill. They said sure. Benefit of the doubt. Next day? No refill. Surprise? My dad at this point was feeling dizzy and his blood pressure was unsteady. At this point my dad was running low on three medications. I brought him to the office where they rudely asked us why we were there. I told her that he needs a refill for a medication. She told us that we needed to make an appointment for that because they don't do walk ins for that. So I asked her then what is my dad suppose to do? He doesn't have any more medicine. So finally she tells me she will look into it for me. She asks me for the medications name but abruptly cuts me off. She tells me "it says you still have refills for this medication" Me - "okay but the pharmacist is telling me that there is no refill. I wouldn't be doing here if he had his medicine and if you guys aren't communicating with them" Nurse - "Okay, let me print it for you" She hands me the prescription.. for the wrong medicine.. Me - "This isn't the right medication. Can I show you on the app where it also tells you that you guys denied the request for refill?" So when she prints out the prescription and she comes around to me and puts the paper to my face aggressively pointing. Nurse - "See you still have more refills until - oh it says you have no more refills.. That's weird let me find out what happened for you." As if that wasn't what I was trying to have them figure out this whole time.. So she flags the NP and they talk for a couple minutes and then she comes up to me and she says "Okay we'll send it to the pharmacist for you" But I asked her what about the two other medications? She tells me, "We didn't prescribe those to you. We don't have it on file" What the h*ll is going on in this office. We literally came in here at least twice to have them document our medication. So whatever I make an appointment to get a refill for his other meds. Everything should be good now right? WRONG. Not even a month later, they deny a refill for the same prescription. Why?!??! I call them again and they tell me that we have to go in again but it hasn't even been a month since his last appointment? They said the doctor wants to see him to talk about this xray and blood work that he did a a couple months ago. When we went to the appointment three weeks ago. We already got the results for the blood work. The xray was talked about MONTHS ago. What is the need for us to come in again?! So they told us they would handle it. But NOPE. We had to go AGAIN. When we finally saw the NP for our appointment she told us "you know you can just call for a refill right?" I. WISH. WE. COULD. I didn't say anything to her because I had already decided to find another office but due to insurance since he already visited the doctor that month I couldn't immediately change. Seriously. What is going on in this office. Can't even handle a simple refill. Avoid this doctor's office at all cost.

My appt was at 3:45 and got token in the back in less then 15 minutes the nurse was wonderful but…read morethe doctor Helen was absolutely amazing. She not only listened to my problems but she also had great advice and didn't make me feel uncomfortable at all which is a problem I've had with previous doctors. I don't know why there is so many negative reviews but my first visit was amazing. Ty guys so much.

I saw someone complained about having to enter their SSN to book an appointment online, I entered a mock number and was fine. I knew they had to verify info when i check in anyways. waiting time at the appointment was just a few mins. Staff was overall friendly. I had a really hard time communicating with the assistant when I'm in the room, pre-doctor. She had a mask on, and she spoke softly, and stood behind me to do the intake. I turned around slightly to hear her better but it wasn't much better. We did a lot of back and forth with the same questions she asked me, mostly her having to ask the questions again. It was a quick check, I had an ear infection and nasal infection. yay to 2026 The whole appointment was about 20 mins maybe. I got the right meds and gor better within 3 days as the doc projected. Will use them again if i'll need urgent care again.

I found out my normal healthcare center i always go to does not provide covid shots so i searched…read moreon myturn.ca.gov for a local facility to obtain one. This clinic caught my eye since it was close and the reviews were great. I called and confirmed they took my HMO card before scheduling a same day appointment. The person on the phone was nice and provided all the information i needed and confirmed my insurance will cover it free. I went to the facility and they greeted me walking in and sign in was a breeze. I did had to fill out a first time patient form but i skipped the SSN and explained to her since i have insurance i shouldn't require it so she helped me skip that and once i was done; i waited like 5 minutes and i was let in by a girl named Leslie who gave me my covid shot. In another 3 minutes then i was out. She was very friendly and helpful. I was happy with my visit and plan to come back whenever i need any medical needs from them!

COVID-19: Social distancing is not enforced at this establishment. All of the staff wears a mask…read more All patients are not expected to wear a mask. It's optional now. The staff also wears gloves when handling bodily fluids or when touching patients. There are some hand sanitizers available for patients to use. This place is open and available with limited capacity. They are sanitizing in between patients. I mention these things in my reviews for the sake of protecting immunocompromised people like the elderly and people sick with cancer and other illnesses. COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination. While I was here in this establishment, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They also do not allow pets in their establishment UNLESS it's a service animal. Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is behind the building and it is very small. The lot does get full quickly, so you may have to find some street parking, but that shouldn't be an issue. Establishment: The establishment itself is very clean, neat, tidy, small, and organized. They recently moved to a new location, and I love everything except the parking lot because it's so small. A nice upgrade in office space. Yay! Staff: The staff here are very friendly, kind, warm, welcoming, and helpful. They accept both cash and credit cards. There is no credit card minimum. Dr. Jen, as always, is very professional, compassionate, empathetic, and knowledgeable. He doesn't rush, and he truly listens to his patients. I love that he isn't dismissive at all. My favorite doctor as an adult.

My first time here. And honestly I hadn't gone to a doctor for a check-up since the start of the…read morepandemic and had been putting it off for some time since I felt fine, but finally decided it was time before I was way overdue for one. And dare I say it was a very pleasant visit to Dr. Jen's office for the most part... compared to other doctor visits I've been to, going to Dr. Jen definitely won't be daunting compared to others I've been to. My first impression of the place was already a good start, with a very friendly staff and I appreciate that this place seems to keep things in order where I seemed to be the only patient in the office at the time (which is great for the pandemic situation). Dr. Jen was very thorough in my check-up and I specifically came here to also get a pap smear all at once. Very professional throughout, including his female staff member. The pap smear wasn't all that bad (granted my body wasn't cooperating for part of it but that's not his fault) and he made sure I was comfortable the whole time too. Logistics-wise, it was about 3 months out from when I made my appointment call, but I was ok with it since I didn't have an urgent reason. Office itself is in a good location. It's on the 3rd floor and you can find the entrance to the elevators next to the pharmacy. Bonus for the lab being downstairs if you need to get your blood drawn in the future after the doctor's visit, so it's nice that everything you need is in one location. There's free parking around the building and I didn't have trouble snagging a spot on a Friday afternoon.
