    This has been and continues to be a disturbing and stressful experience. My mother, who has…read moredementia and is an active patient under Dr. Diana Hsu's care, was left without essential medications during a transition to a neurologist. Both neurology offices confirmed that providing a temporary refill is standard practice for primary care physicians in this situation. Despite this, Dr. Hsu refused to refill the prescriptions, stating it was outside her specialty--leaving her own patient without medication. We were forced to escalate through insurance and go to urgent care to obtain medications that are routinely managed in primary care. In addition, our experience with the office staff was extremely frustrating. We often encountered confusion around basic insurance and care coordination questions and had to repeatedly follow up ourselves to move things forward. This added unnecessary stress during an already difficult situation. For a vulnerable patient with dementia, this lack of continuity of care and coordination is extremely concerning and raises serious ethical concerns, as going without necessary medication places a dementia patient at risk. This experience raises serious concerns about the standard of care being provided, especially for vulnerable patients such as those with dementia, where continuity of care is critical. Due to the seriousness of this situation, we will be reporting this through appropriate regulatory channels. Patients should be aware of how situations like this may be handled. We are immediately seeking a primary care provider that ensures appropriate and consistent care moving forward.

    Be wary. Huge misdiagnoses from Venugopal, and prescribing potent medication to a 1-year old. I…read morerecommend retiring Dr. Venugopal. My daughter had rashes through out her body, and without even looking in her mouth (key), he diagnosed her with chicken pox. Not only that, but he prescribed a high percentage of hydrocortisone ointment to use on her face. Thankfully we refused to give her the ointment after suspicion, and took her to the ER. It turns out, with a simple look in her mouth, it ended up being HFM (hands foot mouth) disorder. And the physician there told us not to use the dangerous dose of medication Dr Venugopal prescribed. I wouldn't recommend him. Sadly, the only two decent pediatric physicians in this network are him and Dr. Kato, and both have there concerning flaws. I'd rather pick Dr. Kato, who only prescribes antibiotics used in the 80s, than mr dangerous misdiagnoses. On a side note, Dr Venugopal's nurse is nice.

Unfortunately, they closed at 5:30pm, and did not take me in for the reason of my visit today even though they stop seeing patients 15 mins before and I had arrived 30 mins prior to close. Oh well. I then went to my normal Pioneer Group urgent care location in Long Beach, and they had a sign on the door stating they were CLOSED... I experienced some issues with the security officer there also... Finally, I came to the Pioneer Group Downey location... they were open!! Thank goodness. You don't know how overjoyed I was. I signed in, everything was a breeze. They called my name after about 2 mins and I was SEEN by the doctor immediately. She gave me a prescription and I am on my way to wellness. After 3 hours of driving around to see the doctor, I'm so tired but relieved of my frustration. Thank you for the rapid turnaround. I didn't expect to be seen so quickly! I hope to be well and not have to return again.

    This formal complaint to document a series of severe failures by your office that resulted in the…read moreinterruption of life-sustaining medication, unnecessary patient distress, and improper handling of pharmacy coordination and insurance requirements. This complaint concerns both process failures and staff conduct. On Monday morning, I contacted your office to address the urgent need for a prior authorization and refill of my prescribed medications. These medications are medically necessary for my survival--specifically insulin--and are not discretionary or available over the counter. During this call, I spoke with Josephina, who assured me that she would immediately contact the mail-order pharmacy, ensure the authorization was processed, and follow up with me. She explicitly stated that the matter would be handled and that I would receive a return call. None of these assurances were fulfilled. After two days passed with no medication, no confirmation, and no follow-up, I contacted the office again to request a status update. During this call, Josephina admitted that she had contacted the pharmacy a limited number of times and stated that she was "too busy" to do so on the day of my follow up call. This admission was delivered without apology or acknowledgment of the seriousness of the situation. At this point, I had already spent 48 hours in limbo regarding medication required for my survival. It is critical to note that I had clearly explained to Josephina that the mail-order pharmacy cutoff time was 12:00 PM, that insulin shipments could only occur Monday through Wednesday due to overnight shipping requirements, and that failure to meet this window would result in further delay and risk. Despite this information being clearly communicated, no action was taken. By the time I contacted your office again, I had been without insulin for approximately 26 hours. During my subsequent call, Josephina again stated that the issue would be resolved and that a coworker would send the medication to the mail-order pharmacy. I waited an additional two hours. When no confirmation was received, I contacted the pharmacy directly. At that time, Wanda, a representative at the mail-order pharmacy, informed me that only one medication was on file--and it was not insulin. At this point, Wanda remained on the line with me while I contacted your office again to resolve the discrepancy. During this call, I interacted with both Josephina and Araceli (Office Manager). The conduct I encountered was hostile, dismissive, and unprofessional. Despite being informed--by both myself and the mail-order pharmacy--that the insulin prescription had not been received, I was told the issue had already been "taken care of. " This assertion was demonstrably false. I had in my possession: Digital receipts from the mail-order pharmacy reflecting my visit and medications The mail-order pharmacist actively on the call Time-stamped confirmation from the pharmacy showing that insulin had never been received. My partner and the mail-order pharmacist were present for and witnessed the entirety of this conversation. Eventually, your office staff acknowledged that the initial prescription had been sent to the incorrect pharmacy. Rather than correcting this error, the situation was further compounded. Instead of properly resubmitting the prescription to the mail-order pharmacy, your office contacted a local retail pharmacy. My insurance does not cover retail fills for this medication, a fact that was clearly explained. I should not that the local pharmacy called to tell me directly. As a direct result of this action: The medication could not be dispensed. The retail pharmacy placed a hold on the prescription. My account was flagged for suspected fraudulent activity due to attempts to refill a mail-order-only medication at retail. When I relayed this information to your staff--while the mail-order pharmacist remained on the call and provided verifiable timestamps--I was met with further defensiveness, deflection, and what can only be described as active attempts to shift blame rather than correct the error. At no point did your office take ownership of the mistake. At no point was there a meaningful attempt to immediately rectify the situation. Instead, one error was compounded by another, resulting in nearly 72 hours of medication interruption, unnecessary escalation with pharmacies and insurance, and significant emotional and physical distress. I approached this situation calm, collected, and focused on resolution. I did not create this problem. I simply asked for a remedy. Your office chose deflection over accountability and escalation over correction. This complaint is being formally documented. If this matter is not addressed appropriately, my next steps include filing complaints with the Better Business Bureau, consulting legal counsel, and submitting reports to relevant regulatory and labor oversight bodies in California.

I needed to schedule my next appointment, Instead of helping me quickly so I could leave, the front desk staff member(the one on the left after you enter) told me to sit back down in the lobby and wait, even though this was a simple scheduling request. I felt uncomfortable being asked to sit among other patients who were coughing, while she appeared to prioritize other tasks, such as entering information or handling unrelated work, over something that could have been completed in a minute. Also It is very hard to reach the office via phone, almost like they're not picking up the phone. Unfortunately, this experience affected my visit. I am only providing this rating based on that specific experience, not the rest of the staff. That said, the office is clean, and the nurses and nurse practitioners were very welcoming, friendly, and professional.
