I and always very pleased how my appointments go. The ladies at the front office are wonderful and very helpful including all the nurses. I see Dr. Mauer and he is wonderful, very professional and knowledgeable. If you are looking for a cardiologist, I would highly recommend Southern California Heart Specialists.

Every time I have left a message he has called back within an hour - so impressive ! And as for Dr Young- just had my 3 month follow up with her. Still so blown away by her expertise and compassion. So incredibly grateful I found this place, these treatments have been absolutely life changing

He provided very helpful explanations to each of my questions and also explained his rationale for his recommended next steps in my treatment. Finally, he was genuinely friendly. I honestly cannot imagine writing a more positive review, and I am completely comfortable writing negative reviews when appropriate.

While I can't speak for other patients' experiences of their care, I'm doubtful we are getting the complete story. I'm very satisfied with the service and care I received from Dr. Jacobi. He was thorough but also low pressure. I never once felt like I was rushed during each appointment. He gave me a chance to ask all the questions I wanted to ask. I know I was probably annoying, but I'm all about early intervention if I feel something is off. Communication with his administrative staff was fabulous. Very courteous and flexible. Quick responses. Again, I'm a bit perplexed by the negative reviews on here. I'm sorry, but I disagree.

While Dr. Jacoby was good, I can't say the same for his front office staff. I had an appointment…read morescheduled, and thirty minutes before the appointment, I received a voicemail stating that I had an outstanding bill and wouldn't be seen until it was paid. I understand that doctors need to be compensated for their work, but my insurance company has sent the checks. I have documentation that the checks were sent. I have explained the insurance company's procedure to the office manager and encouraged her to call the insurance company to confirm the checks were forthcoming. Giving me 30 minutes to deal with it before my appointment is unprofessional and, frankly, rude. Additionally, the office manager was not in the office and was unavailable by phone to address the issue. My appointment has been canceled, everyone is aggravated, and I need to find a new cardiologist because I refuse to deal with incompetent front office staff.

My family member has been a patient of Dr. Bagheri's for over three years now after he had…read morequadruple bypass surgery. Dr. Bagheri is very knowledgeable and is very thorough with his patients. When my family member was brought to the Emergency Department for a different cardiac issue Dr. Bagheri came the same evening to evaluate him and helped properly diagnose and treat him for his issues. When my family member first met Dr. Bagheri he was in a wheelchair due to being so weak from the surgeries he experienced. If it were not for Dr. Bagheri's due diligence I do not believe his heart would have gotten stronger. As of today he is out of the wheelchair and walks with a cane and we know a big part of that is because of Dr. Bagheri. I am not sure what Dr. Bagheri would do without Rosine and Mary who work at the Front Desk. Any time we need a procedure or test scheduled Mary and Rosine are very prompt returning and answering our calls. They treat us with compassion and dignity if we have any doubts or questions about treatments and medications. Unlike other doctor offices we have been to they do not ignore us when we wait in the waiting room and try to make our visit as comfortable as possible. They wear many hats at the office and make sure that Dr. Bagheri's patients are connected to the best resources and make time for us in case there is a concern that we can only address with Dr. Bagheri. They both care not only about their patients' wellbeing but Dr. Bagheri's and have restructured the office to make it safer for patients during COVID-19. They are a strong team who make time for their patients and would recommend them to every potential and future patient who need a Cardiologist.

Thier office called me and when I picked up they hung up, so I immediately returned the call. I was listening to the phone ring for 30 minutes. Gave up. Tried again a few minutes later, 30 minutes later gave up. Tried again and after 20 minutes I got hold of a human who told me about an appointment I have been scheduled for. What if I had not persisted? They told me they don't use their patient portal because all their patients are computer illiterate. I am a programmer with 35 years of experience and I seriously doubt their clientelle are computer illiterate. Nothing is done on time ever. Communication of any sort is nearly impossible. Otherwise, their doctors are great -- some bean counter convinced them to slash their office staff to nothing. They can barely manage.

It was not!! We tried to contact management, but no one was there. We'll try again tomorrow, on Monday July 20, but we have little hope to due to the chaos that drives this place. This is in stark contrast with Cedars Sinai, my wife had a nuclear stress test on Friday July 17 and the results were available on Saturday July 18. This is a poorly run organization that does not seem to care about the patients. Test results could reveal problems that Foothill Cardiology must address immediately. Avoid this place if you care about your health! Those with geographic inclinations who named it Foothill Cardiology should have called it Death Valley Cardiology!!

Some of the staff also wears gloves when touching patients. There are some hand sanitizers available for patients to use. This place is open and available with no limited capacity. They are not sanitizing in between patients. COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination. While I was here in this establishment several days ago, 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 pretty big; however, they share the lot with many other establishments, so the lot can be full very easily and quickly. If that happens, park on the street. Establishment & Staff: The establishment is very neat, clean, organized, and tidy. The staff here are very friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and polite. They accept both cash and credit cards. There is no credit card minimum.
