He told me to stop all of my medication's because in his opinion, I don't have lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. In his words... I don't have lupus because I don't have a failed kidney and I don't have rheumatoid arthritis because my hands are not deformed. He offered no help besides suggesting that I get on an antidepressant. I called the office to request his report to be sent to me. His notes/report are completely false. He claimed that I denied certain symptoms, which is a flat out lie. I've never felt so humiliated and dismissed. Even if I just had fibromyalgia... He did not suggest anything to help me besides an antidepressant. Doctors like this should not be in practice.

She addressed 100% of my questions and was personable enough. She seems knowledgeable and very professional. She is the type of doctor that tests before she pushes a drug which puts her at an advantage to other Doctors in my eyes. I don't like the trial an error method that many physicians use when treating their patients. It's dangerous and careless. Dr. King did thorough testing before she diagnosed and prescribed. Specifically, she discussed respiratory problems and fertility challenges. I felt that she met and perhaps exceeded my expectations of my office visit. I visited her at Irvine Odyssey, so perhaps it is fair to also give feedback on the office as well. It's clean, modern, warm, and most importantly efficient. I don't think I waited more than 5 minutes. I hate that awkward feeling that you get when you're in that uncomfortable hospital gown, the waiting room is cold, and you just keep wondering if you should take your socks off too?... there wasn't too much of that during my visit. It was easy to make any appointment. Although the front desk was busy, which made for a less warming welcome- you can tell that they work like the old school type offices where the doctor interacts with the staff and everyone keeps informed and on the same page. I should've given this review 3 weeks ago after my initial visit... but it wasn't until now that I got the chance to. I just called today because I needed information about allergy testing and Dr. King talked to me on the phone. She sounded rushed- which makes sense because she didn't make me wait while I was in the waiting room, others shouldn't have to either. I would've liked to have finished my sentences- but I appreciate her taking the phone in the first place. I would recommend you seeing her- and if you're the type of person that requires extensive time during an office visit, ask the front desk to schedule you during one of the SLOWEST times of the week. That's what I would do! As for me, I usually prepare a list of questions- do research at home- and I show up prepared to listen to the Dr. and learn.

One year in particular, I flew back from Thanksgiving and caught a nasty flu on the flight over. Not sure what to do, I went to the walk-in clinic (at Dr. King's old location) she was incredibly helpful and also understood my non-health insurance (meaning potentially expensive) situation and she was incredibly helpful. She also helped write a few notes for my local GP (UK doctor). Since then, I have visited Dr. King once more in her new offices and they look great. I've seen other Yelpers comment that she has a nice staff, which is true as well. I recommend Dr. King and her practice. Good luck and feel better!

My husband lost his desire to drink alcohol. He also lost 10 lbs. And he exercises 6 days a week at the gym. His sciatic pain is gone, and he's healthier than ever before. For me, I use to have neck and back pain, took several prescription medications for mood, and had anger issues. Now, my pain is gone, I stopped all my medications and my anger is under control. The effectiveness of the treatment takes some time to kick in, but the change is nothing short of amazing. The negative review may be understandable when you meet senior Dr Tong. He's a very enthusiastic sales person with strong opinions. There may have been a misunderstanding or a miscommunication between that patient and Dr. Tong. Dr Tong's treatment of injecting a diluted mix of saline and Marcaine into meridians takes many weeks/months to be effective. Going twice won't work, imo. And, you have to take responsibility for your own health. Doing the same old thing won't work. Exercise, stretching, eating right, and going to the Tongs works. We wholeheartedly recommend the Drs Tong.

The visit involved a standard flu swab and a prescription for Tamiflu. No additional testing was discussed, recommended, or authorized at the time of the visit. Months later, I received a bill from a third-party laboratory (Specialized University Pathologists) for services that were never explained or approved, and my child never visited this practice. When I attempted to resolve the issue, I encountered multiple problems: I was unable to reach anyone for months The laboratory changed their address and phone number after the initial invoice No chain of custody for the specimen could be provided No consent or authorization was on file No documentation linking the test to my child was produced Despite the lack of proof, I was threatened with collections. Ultimately, I paid the bill solely to avoid potential credit damage--not because the charge was valid. What was most disappointing was the lack of support or advocacy from PM Pediatrics in resolving this issue, even though the situation stemmed from care received at their facility. After over a year of effort, I was left with no meaningful assistance. I strongly encourage patients to ask detailed questions about third-party labs and billing practices before agreeing to any testing.

I have been seeing Dr. Roger Kornu for well over 15 years - and he is the best Rheumatologist I have ever received care from. He is so knowledgeable, polite, professional - and exudes such a deep sense of caring for his patients, it's quite incredible. In fact, he was the one who, after a few years of examinations and adjustments of medications, discovered that what I have is not rheumatoid arthritis but actually ankylosing spondylitis. A huge discovery - and I have been steadily improving ever since. I highly recommend Dr. Kornu - he and his team are remarkable! Sarah C. read more

Not a word is wasted on pleasantries, politeness, or any obvious concern about the patient's health.

What is Tylenol going to do for him besides nothing? 45 minutes later, there was still no sign of the Tylenol. As I stated before, this is unacceptable and absolutely disgusting. To top it all off, his nurse was told twice his catheter had become separated, and bodily fluids were leaking all over his bed. While she twice acknowledged she was aware his catheter was leaking, she made no move to fix it. Whatever happened to common decency and treating others with dignity? For context, my mother, sisters, and myself all worked in hospital settings for years. I have never seen such egregious disregard in a hospital setting. Absolutely outrageous and inexcusable.
