I have two daughters that have been coming to this practice for ten years. I love the care and…read moreattention we received for each visit. I have had long and necessary visits which I'm sure that others have had to wait longer to be seen. But I have waited patiently to be seen as well. With children we need to be patient and understand that our kids all have different needs. And the quality of care that we all want sometimes needs more then 15 minutes. So I make the drive wait patiently and know that when it's my kids turn we always get the right amount of quality care that we need. Thank you Heart to Heart Pediatrics for really being just that!!!

Came in super nervous about the whole process but the staff are very welcoming and reassuring me…read morethat they have done this plenty of times with babies her age(11 months old). Which are very more aware and squirmy. The process took about 3ish hours because we wanted to get the numbing cream which they take their time in making sure she is numb. Once it's set in the process of actually piercing her ears was so quick! The Dr. is very sweet and took her time. I never once felt rushed out of here. One of her ears got a little reaction to the cream ,so she felt it a bit but the other one she didn't even notice it being done. In my opinion it was great doing it at a later age since alot of babies were crying so much and it hurt my heart!! So highly recommend waiting to be able to use the numbing cream. She cried a bit and was over it. I also want to add I know there is a preference on piercing gun and just a needle because they say the healing process is different but my daughter has already a few weeks healing and she has not had any problems from the piercing gun.

I don't trust this doctors practice. My children used to come here and at one of my son's scheduled…read morevisits, with no prior notice, I was told I had an outstanding bill of close to $300. I asked what the bill was from, the receptionist stated it was a bill from back in May and it was now October. I asked if I could call my child's insurance and get it figured out and she stated that if that was the case, my child could not be seen that day. I could either pay the bill that they "discounted" as a favor to me or call insurance but If I called the insurance, there was nothing they could do about it at the office anyway. So the only option was to pay the bill and I could either pay it that day at her discounted price or if I came back to pay it another day, it would be the full price. I decided to call the insurance anyway as this had never happened before and I had received no letters from our insurance nor from the doctor about this "debt". I called the insurance and spent hours on the phone because they could not see a bill on their end. Eventually I was transferred to someone who said they just needed the doctor to fill out a form they filled out incorrectly and the bill would be covered. I called the doctors office to let them know and they said they would not he filling out the form because they had been trying to send it in for months and the insurance kept denying it. They also said, if I chose not to pay the bill, they would send it to collections. Mind you, not once had they mentioned this bill to me throughout the several months that passed so I could have tried to figure out what was going on through the insurances end. I was there often as my son had colic issues. They tell me there's nothing else they can do for me and they are terminating our services with them and I could talk to someone named Theresa via text that does billing. I start texting Theresa about what's happening and she mentions ANOTHER debt that I had no idea about. I ask her what that one was for and she said it was for a telehealth visit. The record they sent me of this telehealth wasn't even to me but to a doctor at CHOC. This conversation between the 2 doctors happened in February but I wasn't told about this "outstanding bill" until October. Then she says that Ana decided to waive that bill as a one time courtesy. She stopped responding to me also. Very shady business here. Also wanted to mention that this office did a few of my son's vaccinations but I never brought the yellow card as I was going through a lot and kept forgetting. I went today to get the card stamped and apparently, since he's no longer a patient there, she cannot stamp his card. I know it was my mistake for not bringing it but my mind was elsewhere when my son was a newborn. The card requires a stamp and the date it was given. Her receptionist said the new doctor could request a release of record form and they can stamp which is a lie. They cannot stamp the card as the vaccinations were given at this office, not theirs! I've never had this issue before, only with this doctor! I even went to a doctor right after I left here that had also given him vaccinations but he's no longer a patient there and they did it with no hesitation. Probably wants to charge me for that too! UPDATE to her response since I can't message her personally. I saw Ezahdy walk into your office and then come back out and said that you told her you could not stamp it as he is not a patient of yours. You can check the cameras. So Ezhady lied about you being in office and denying stamping my son's vaccination card? I do remember, very clearly, as this was a very stressful time for me, you did not reach out to me back in 2023 when this happened. I checked my messages on my portal and there was never a message from you regarding this billing issue. I only spoke to Ezhady, Yesenia and Theresa. I have no issue with what they are billing, my issue is them not mentioning any bills owed until there's nothing that can be done about it. They gave me absolutely no options. They said since so much time had passed I either pay the bill or it get sent to collections. So this is confirming this office is very shady.

I have been happy with everyone but Dr Miyamoto and his two assistants are extra special. Often the 3 work together to keep everyone calm, happy, and moving along efficiently. Fabiola always offers my 2 year old coloring pages to keep him busy. She is always happy to see us and makes the visit fun for everyone. She does injections very quickly and always gives tips on how to help my babies feel better like massaging injection sites or throwing out sick toothbrushes. They remember all our names, treat us with respect, explain procedures and illnesses. Dr Miyamoto is always calm and gentle. His bedside manner with children is incredible. He also gives tips on every day care like discipline and potty training. We receive a children's book at each well baby check up. My son has always hated being touched by doctors (even when we were in the hospital right after birth) it has taken nearly 3 years but we finally had a cry free visit which included a strep test! Only a month ago he had a strep test by a different nurse and she called in reinforcements to hold him down :( Fabiola on the other hand explain to him and me exactly what she was going to do and what each of us needed to do. He proceeded to lay down calmly and open his mouth nice and wide. I almost cried tears of joy at the difference. This staff continues to treat him calmly and as he has gotten to know them, he has warmed up. I really cannot say enough good things! Also at this office you can check in at home on your computer or your phone which eliminates most paperwork and extra time at the office. Side note: when my son was first born they told me Dr. Miyamoto wasn't accepting any new patients so I got in with a different doctor. But then, I simply asked if his next appointment could be with Dr. M and they said yes, we've seen him ever since! :)

He has helped care for and advocate (to our insurance company) for both of my children's medical needs. He is an active listener and helps answer any questions or concerns we may have.

Whether it's making appointments, helping get paperwork processed or just a genuine check-in if we haven't seen them in a while I can always count on their positive attitudes.

I can not praise her enough, she is thorough Honestly, i take my kids to the ER more than i take them to Dr. Ghiya. I should have gotten another doctor a lot sooner, but I'm sorry to say laziness caught hold. Edit 11/29/19: i took my kids to the doctor again and Dr. Ghiya sat in the office for an extra 5 minutes to address this yelp review. Saying "sorry" and that he's appreciate it if i changed my review. He also went on to say, and i quote "obviously you need more attention so I'm sorry i thought you understood". I told him I'd think about changing the review, but his behavior in one appointment doesn't change the past 10+ appointments. Well today i recieved a letter saying Dr. Ghiya is refusing treatment for my children because i broke his trust by writing this HONEST REVIEW of his services. Thank goodness my children's NEW insurance kicked in and i can stop taking them to Dr. Ghiya. Avoid him at all costs. EDITED TO ADD: Dr. Ghiya replied to my review by saying they have treated us for 10 years. He doesn't even know his patients!
