Once they did I received confirmation that my insurance was accepted, in which case I asked to setup a consultation. They took my insurance information and said they'd call back by the end of the day. Since I hadn't heard from them I called back the following day, with the answering service taking the call again, and told them I hadn't heard back and was looking to see if I can get the appt scheduled. They apologized and said the would pass the message to the office and have someone call back shortly. No call back was done that day. When I attempted to call the following day, it said the number was not taking calls at that time (for those of you know or don't, this actually means that they blocked me!) I was pretty shocked to say the least. I tested it out by calling off a different number and it went through no problem. What kind of office runs this way? Who knows what will happen to the information I gave them. Stay far away from here, very unethical practice.

They don't have a receptionist, only an answering service. The Doctor himself called me back and…read moreafter explaining to him my issues he explained that they do not take patients under 35, so apparently if you are under 35 you are either a drug addict or not qualified to have any pain. He was completely and totally unwilling to help me, and I feel like I dodged a bullet. I cannot even imagine what being his patient would be like.

This place is a joke. I had called because I was in extreme chronic pain from spondylitis,…read moresciatica, and straight neck syndrome. The doctors turned me away because I was 27 not 30.

Dr. Vu was disrespectful on the phone people with chronic pain should be treated with respect.

Since the age for colonoscopy was changed from 50 to 45 I've been dreading it. When I turned 45 I…read morewas dreading it. Then I turned 46 and figured I better get it over with. I was having some issues I won't get into plus family history that made me finally face the music. I'm writing this review to let you know if you're the age for a colonoscopy or soon to be the age, DO NOT STRESS OVER THIS!!!!!! THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT! From start to finish it was simple and honestly no big deal. I have a PPO and can go anywhere I want but my doctor referred me to Dr. Duke Nguyen since he's located in the same Memorial Care center he is. Figured easy enough. The staff at Orange County Digestive Care (located 3rd floor Memorial Care Building) was super friendly and always answered the phone quickly so I'd go back and recommend them. I made my appointment and they got me in the day after Xmas for my initial appointment which was a few days after I called. I met with Kimberly A. Pinckney, PA-C. She was so friendly I didn't hesitate to answer all the embarrassing questions about pooping habits. After talking about issues and answering questions I met with another lady who scheduled me for 3/7/24 and went over the prep. Initially I was happy it was 3 months to wait but I stressed really bad for 3 months. Again, DO NOT STRESS LIKE I DID! DO NOT STRESS! Fast forward 3 months. Week of your appointment I highly recommend eating low fiber foods and easy to digest bland foods. Stay away from beef, raw veggies, seeds, nuts, and high fiber stuff. Day before the appointment all you can have is clear liquid. I was surprised I didn't get hungry at all but I think my low calorie week of bland foods helped prepare my stomach. I also drank tons of water all day. Luckily my insurance paid for the split dose "suprep" which is two liquid 6 ounce bottles you mix with 16 ounces of water. 6pm night before my adventure started. My wife told me how horrible the prep tastes but I thought it tasted sort of like Tamarindo candy. Salty, sour, and sweet so I kind of liked it. I drank down the mixture followed by 32 ounces of water as instructed. 1.5 hours went by and I was questioning if my dosage was defective. Then for the next 3 to 4 hours my body turned into a what I can only describe as a fecal water cannon. What came out of me defied logic. The good thing is there's zero stomach aches or urgency. I assumed it was going to be like food poisoning but your body is just filling up with water and blasting your pipes clean. I had no issues getting to the bathroom, no running needed. Also you get breaks between visits so it's not non stop. I highly recommend you have wet wipes since you'll be wiping A LOT and cleaning supplies because you will utterly obliterate your toilet bowl. Next morning at 4am was round two. I didn't enjoy the flavor this time since I knew what was in store. Round two kicked in about 15 minutes. Since there was not much left it was just endless water blasting until I was sparkling clean. So yea..... going to the bathroom over and over and over gets tiring but just know you're not going to feel sick or anything. You're just going to be turned into a human water cannon and if you're like me texting jokes to your friends about it. They also time it and cut off your drinking time so you'll be fine when it's time to leave for your appointment. Day of the procedure WAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Every single employee at Memorial Care were so friendly I was at ease the whole time and honestly ready to get it over with. I arrived, put on my bare assed gown, and got into bed. I've never had an IV before so was worried about that but it felt no different than getting my blood drawn so that was another example of stressing for nothing. Dr. Nguyen quickly went over what's going to happen, anesthesiologist gave his speech, and I was wheeled into the room. Literally it went like this: Propofol which looks like milk was injected into the tube going to my IV and the guy said "This might feel cold". I watched it hit my hand and I said "I don't feel anything.....". Next thing I know I hear "are you awake?" which I reply to "huh?". Then I'm told I'm done. It's over. It's like a light switch was flipped off and on and it was over. Crazy stuff. Dr. Nguyen then let me know he took out one polyp and the issue I went in for was nothing to worry about. Even got color photos of my innards to look at. Two weeks later I was told my polyp was not cancerous but because of the size of it I'll have to return in 5 years. Good thing is I know not to stress over it. This was easy. Get it done. You have nothing to worry about. I convinced my co-worker who was 5 years past due and he had his last week. He said it was easy too and we traded humorous toilet stories. GET YOUR COLONSCOPY DONE! DO NOT STRESS ABOUT IT! DO NOT WORRY ABOUT IT! IT'S AN EASY EXPERIENCE!

They recommended labs I already had done, and another ultrasound I just had a few months ago which is the reason I went in. They refused to send me for further testing. My primary care had to order an MRI. I told them I don't want to do a colonoscopy because I wake up during all my surgeries and I don't want to take the risk, why not a ct scan or mri. They ignore. My ultrasound showed gallstones which they said they treat, and the report showed very little information, but they refused to look at the images and told me its all fine. When calling and asking if they handle the specific problem I know I have, instead of answering they just tell me to get a colonoscopy! Just wow. terrible.

I've been to 3 other doctors since and had imaging proving I do not have a leg length discrepancy. Not only did this waste my time in treating back pain and cost me money in buying expensive custom shoes but it also severely worsened my pain. Prior to seeing dr G I had my radiculopathy under control it's been 2 months since I saw him and it's still worse than when I saw him. I can't speak about his ability to do epidurals or nerve ablation but there are some unsettling reviews on here. TLDR Dr G should have had a full scanogram ( a special x ray done with rulers) done before telling me to push through the pain of shoe lifts but he didn't he is severely mistaken which is embarrassing as it's well known muscle guarding from a bulged disc can pull up a hip. A message to DR G please do some more research I know shoe lifts worked for you but everyone is different thanks for trying to think outside the box though I do appreciate that A message to a potential patient...get a second opinion!!!

She really cares about her clients and is careful but extremely efficient. I started coming to Luxury Medical Spa about 3 months ago in preparation for my wedding. My main concerns were depressed acne scarring, active inflamed acne, enlarged pores and hyperpigmentation from different stages of scarring. I came in with low expectations keeping in mind that these kind of problems are very difficult to treat especially within a short time frame. I came once a month for 3 months and by the second time, I was already blown away by the improvement in my skin texture, overall smoothness and vibrancy! I'm so happy I found this place, I drove from Apple Valley 2 hours away and it was absolutely worth it to me. I'll forever be a returning client!

The scars are smaller/filled up and some even gone. I'm so so happy with the results. Her assistant is nice, her office is clean, and she has lots of plants around the office. I feel like I'm in nature and it makes me feel relaxed during the treatment. Thank you Dr. Ngo for such a great work and always make me laugh a lot during the time I visit you.

A medical emergency is defined as "A medical emergency is a health condition or situation that…read moreneeds immediate medical attention." Immediate is defined as "occurring, acting, or accomplished without loss or interval of time." My wife's visit to the emergency room makes no sense to me. Her primary care physician's nurse told her to make an appointment with a doctor (with first available appointment in 4 days), or go to the ER. We chose the ER, but, not before sending me to the gym to exercise, so that she could fix her hair. I understand the ER has more equipment than doctor's office, and even urgent care. It seemed wrong to go to the ER when it was not an emergency. St. Jude ER was vastly different from the ER in Canada that we just visited, where it was a real emergency. We showed up at 5PM and registered. The triage nurse saw us almost immediately. We saw the doctor within an hour. The doctor followed up on the care that my wife received in Canada and ordered a CT scan and some bloodwork. Everyone that we interacted with was nice and professional. They all knew what their job was. I'll take this over universal healthcare in Canada any day where it took 6 hours just to be triaged! Even though we spent four hours at the ER, the time went by quickly because the the process here at St. Jude is just so much better. It was a good experience. I don't want or need to experience them any more. Hopefully, I will never come back.
