Wow! This has been the best experience I've ever had at a hospital.From the fun lady in admission,…read morethe surgery team, the transport team Marcy & Jaylin were so careful getting me to my room, all while being very friendly the whole way. Then I got put in a room on the top floor and was assigned some amazing nurses who have spoiled the heck out of me since I got here!! Sarah is the first nurse I met. She has been so incredibly attentive and sweet to me the last whole stay. She's really gone above and beyond to ensure my comfort and make sure I got everything I needed, and always with a very sweet disposition and smile! The other nurses and respiratory therapist have been wonderful also Delma and Kavi then Baljit and Elma the next day. Everybody is kind and considerate here. They really go the extra mile to ensure you are truly OK before they leave you. When Jeremy Zak walked around in the morning the next day, I was so impressed that the CEO was walking around making sure everybody was OK. That blew my mind. Every person I've encountered here has gone above and beyond and Ben super sweet and kind and I told them that they really live up to their companies's motto "hello human kindness"! I made sure I told Jeremy about his excellent staff, and I told Rogina Nencey the nursing Director about how well I got taken care of in detail! I highly recommend this hospital for any procedure, it is top-notch and worth more than five stars, but I'll put five stars because that's all I can! Thank you guys for spoiling me rotten & such a wonderful experience.

I absolutely understand why a hospital may have such low ratings. I can only imagine how many…read moreangry, upset, impatient, anxious reviews are under this hospital. I mean .. truth be told the length of time you are still waiting to be seen.. you start seething even if you came in with the most positive , upbeat attitude. I had to take my little one to the ER with a pediatrics ward. So here we are. I despise having to pay for parking at any hospital . Expect here to be no different, I could see all the heads moving around inside the ER when I pulled into the parking lot around 115pm. I checked in to the ER 1:30pm. Every single staff person in this ER from security on. So so nice! They are the only bright light in this situation. I sat for 6 hours just for my son to be seen for stomach issues. Had the ultra sound and blood work done quick. But for him to get a room and be given an IV.. just to make sure he's hydrated. Had me vexed! From 130p - 630p and still no room. I've watched everyone come and go and even had an old man (67) hit on me for about 2 hours straight just jaw jacking my ears off. I had to be out advocate and make the decision we weren't waiting another 6 hours for fluids. Again, staff is so so good. They weren't even mad at me for starting to push to leave. This place is insanely busy. Idk if the resolve is to hav more facilities available in other locations as to not overcrowd this one. But something has to happen, patients shouldn't sit a whole work shift when they are in the ER.

For someone who hears the words " you have cancer" world starts spinning in different way. It's…read morevery important to have a doctor who is on your side. Who is supportive and ready to answer your questions to their best knowledge. My initial doctor was brilliant Dt. Tang, REALLY BRILLIANT, who I had to mention, (he works with Leavey Cancer Center) but after my cancer went into remission my insurance company decided that I need to be with different oncologist (I'll never understand how this insurance bureaucrats work) The Oncology Institute in Northridge (which is across the Leavey Cancer Center by the way lol) is specializing in, yes- oncology. The office has 4 doctors, they all have impressive backgrounds. Dr. Paul La Porte, is my doctor, who is very knowledgeable and caring, although sometimes can comes across as little cocky like some doctors are lol, but overall knowledgeable and caring, in my experience. It is very crucial to have a good relationship and great level of comfort with your oncologist, and I believe with your doctors in general. I was very nervous when I had to (well more like forced to) change my oncologist. But after meeting Dr. La Porte, I felt that I can rest assure that I am still in good hands. The office is clean and nice. The staff is polite. You come in, sign in and wait. Chairs now are comfortably set up so people are not in each other's face, which is very important when you are already vulnerable and more susceptible to COVID virus, fu and cold, since you are immunocompromised. Check up rooms are clean and cozy, with nice art work hanging on the walls, which is a nice destruction, not letting you focus only on medical information, and trust me you have lots of that, comes with the condition. Also, what I like about Dr. La Porte is he is friendly, easy to talk to, does answer his texts and emails, if I have any questions or concerns. He does provide me with my test results ahead of my appointment time when applicable, so If I have questions I'll have time to prepare and ask. My own experience here is good, but the waiting time is what makes me give them 3 stars. I do not wish upon anyone to hear those words ever, and may you stay Blessed. But if you ever hear that, please do not loose hope, do not stop fighting, believe, stay strong and positive and with the help of great oncologists, their team, your friends and family, you are a winner. Blessings to all.

THE ONCOLOGY INSTITUTE OF HOPE AND INNOVATION is a very misleading name: they crushed every bit of…read morehope I had and they couldn't innovate well enough to determine whether or not I was their actual patient. At 8:30 AM the office officially opened and I was already caller number 26. I made two calls over two days, both with 20-minute+ on hold times -- after which I had to hang up to return to work -- and one 45 minute hold time on the third day that ended in someone answering the phone to tell me the schedulers had gone to lunch. Call back later. He was unmoved by my outrage. A friend noticed that the institute's website had a link for setting up appointments. I followed the directions, uploaded my insurance card, downloaded the app, and was given a confirmation including a date, a time, an oncologist's name (Dr. Bala Ganesh Gopurala) and even his photograph with APPOINTMENT BOOKED! in bold capital letters. A week later, I arrived for my appointment and was told (by a very indifferent receptionist who barely looked up from her computer) that I was not in the system. No appointment. Nothing. Dr. Gopurala had been at their Riverside office for months, she said. My name, my phone number, and my request for an appointment were logged into the system from my text request only, but when I asked why no one had contacted me after a week, she shrugged her shoulders. That's not an exaggeration -- she shrugged! Finally, the fuss we raised brought a compassionate doctor to the waiting room and she agreed to see me. She got the ball rolling by calling the breast cancer surgeon and reassured me that the website, the app download, and the IT department were not up to par. Ya think? After that, everything seemed to fall into place... until the institute called a couple of weeks later to say they needed to reschedule my appointment. I asked, "What appointment?" They had sent neither an email nor a text, and had not broached the subject of a follow up appointment at that point. I agreed to the reschedule, but once again I never received one email, text, nor voicemail confirmation for it. Near the end of December, City of Hope contacted me to ask why they had not been sent a referral for the radiation treatments that the oncologist had recommended. I gave the scheduler the institute's proper name, address, and the name of the oncologist who'd taken pity on me that day. City of Hope called right back to inform me that the Oncology Institute of Hope and Innovation said I was not in their system! I immediately called my primary care physician and requested another oncology referral. On January 9, 2026, OIHI called again to confirm my January 12 appointment. Fascinating! An appointment with a clinic that has twice insisted I was not in their system? I told them to delete me. I was moving on. I understand that there are a lot of people in Los Angeles. I understand that clinics are understaffed and overworked. I understand that I am NOT the only person with cancer in the San Fernando Valley community. But a modicum of professional demeanor, efficiency and competency is the least any patient deserves. The very least one can ask is for a website that has up-to-date doctors and staff on its scheduling app and an IT department that checks its website for accuracy; that assures that there's a direct connection to the scheduling department. The very least one deserves is a return call within 24 to 48 business hours. The very least one deserves is an iota of compassion from the people who schedule the appointments. After a cancer diagnosis, you are already panicked. Often terrified. One cannot help but feel that every single minute is of the essence. All this to say that if you are referred to the Oncology Institute of Hope and Innovation, BEWARE. Their behavior seems to indicate that they HOPE you'll catch on that your diagnosis is not their problem. Perhaps your poor man's health insurance makes them INNOVATE ways to get you to give up and go away. Or perhaps they simply don't give a crap -- I don't know which, but enter at your own risk. Becoming a patient at their clinic is nothing short of a crapshoot. And you might end up losing your dice.

Shouldn't even call themselves nurses were completely unprofessional--sitting around gossiping, talking to each other, and clearly giving attention only to their preferred clients instead of doing their jobs. It felt like nothing was getting done. I was also shocked that no basic vitals were taken by them. The doctor ended up doing everything, which just shows how disengaged the staff was. On top of that, one receptionist was extremely rude and kept calling me "hun". That is not appropriate and came off as condescending and disrespectful. How about focusing on your job instead of being dismissive and unprofessional? Overall, this place lacks professionalism, respect, and basic patient care.

Most impressive of all was our doctor, Dr. Cynthia Pfieffer, whose genuine compassion and warm demeanor has us both considering establishing this hospital as our primary care facility.

Title: Disappointing ER Experience - Rude Doctor and Incomplete Care…read more"I brought my elderly mother (hard of hearing) to the ER at Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center on March 22, 2026, due to blood in her stool. We were seen by Dr. Natalie T. Shum, MD. Unfortunately, the visit felt rushed and disrespectful. Dr. Shum was rude--she interrupted my mom mid-question (my mom was struggling to hear and speak up) and sharply told her to 'let me finish talking.' This made my mom feel dismissed and anxious. Despite the reason for visit being blood in stool (possible rectal issue), Dr. Shum did not perform a rectal exam or check the area as we expected for proper evaluation. When we brought a stool sample for culture (only a small amount needed per instructions), she refused it, and we had to go to another nurse instead--this felt inconsistent and unnecessary. Labs were done (including pending stool culture/pathogens), and she was discharged with viral gastroenteritis diagnosis and follow-up instructions, but the interaction left us feeling unheard and that care was substandard. Communication was poor, especially considering my mom's hearing issues--no accommodations were made. We expected more compassion and thoroughness from an ER, especially at a Cedars-Sinai affiliated facility. This experience was stressful and disappointing. I hope the hospital reviews staff interactions and exam protocols to prevent this for others."

He recently did my colonoscopy, which was my third. By far the easiest process to date, save one issue I describe below. The prep was so easy this time; Dr. Eshaghian gave me the option to do a pill based cleanse 12 hours before my procedure, and it was a game changer. And according to the doctor, the results were perfect, which was not always the case with the old "drink three gallons of this horrible tasting stuff and spend the next 36 hours on the toilet" approach. The procedure only took 20 minutes and he was bedside to give me his impressions the moment I woke up. The anesthesiologist he works with is terrific, as well. All in all, a great experience save the issue below. So I highly recommend him. There is one thing to note, however. He has contracted with Valley Endoscopy Center as the place where he does his procedures. They are quite awful. Scheduling was a cluster of confusion between the Center and the doctor's office; I got different messages each time I spoke to each and it created a bit of an issue with arranging for the timing of my before- and after-care. Plus, when I arrived for the procedure (once the time was finally solidified), there were a bunch of people sitting on the floor in the hallway because the waiting room did not have enough chairs for the number of people having procedures done. And then I went in an hour behind schedule because the Center was short-staffed with nurses (which I understand is a universal problem, so I can give a pass on this one). But the doctor is a win as mentioned above, so I was willing to put up with these issues. I do hope he upgrades the Center he uses, though.
