Went back to this place after a few years, asked for a copy of my own record of a CT scan that happened two days prior. My CT was ordered by this office and I was told I can't have it by the front desk receptionist. She told me go on back where you had the CT and ask them for a copy, unprofessional, sarcastic and out of line. I then asked for their medical release form to release my medical records to myself and informed her I would not return as a patient anywhere that does not freely give me any of my medical records when I request them. She stated we don't have a medical release firm form. She stated I can't have any of my records unless the doctor goes over them with me first. I again. told her I will not be back. I then sent a request for my medical records in writing to their business mail on their business card. The receptionist left the front desk twice giving me the impression she was conferring with someone else , but I never observed anyone but her. I then left to prevent a confrontation because I was blatantly denied my medical record and was appalled. I had made the decision not to return after I was denied my CT report and told wait two more weeks to get the results, I immediately contacted another doctor to see for my care. Do not go to any medical office who does not honor your request and patient rights. The first time I visited here in 2021, I had no problems and I got my record copies I wanted when I asked. I returned in April 2024 and get denied my own medical record, but it was the "Go Back Where you got it from" ( racist undertone remark) that did it for me and made it even worse.

Went today for an echocardiogram and then had an appointment with Dr. Hwang. I can't tell you how much I love this doctor. You can tell he genuinely cares about you. He explains everything and it doesn't matter if you have one question or ten he will answer each one. He never rushes you. He is funny and always so happy, It's definitely infectious. I am so lucky to have such great care. The MA was great too. My echocardiogram came out perfect so great news today.

I LOVE THIS MEDICAL PRACTICE !! I have been going here for over 15 years. I've had many tests and quite a few procedures done. The staff is polite, friendly, knowledgeable and professional ! I've never had a bad experience with them !!The doctors are always wonderful and very knowledgeable!! I highly recommend them !!!

Fast and wonderful service from staff and Dr .it wasn't a long wait at all and the Dr was very pleasant.

I have been seeing Selena for a while and she has been so thorough as far as all testing and appointments to keep an eye on my vascular system. After being told when I was 19 that I had mitral valve prolapse she told me that I do not have this condition. After having so many antibiotics through the years to find this out at 84 it blew my mind.The front office has been very helpful and kind. All the staff from all the technicians to assistants have been very helpful and knowledgeable.Everyone is awesome in this office.I highly recommend coming here.Oh the reason I was referred here was for legs that were so swollen I looked like I had piano legs.Now, I can say as long as I follow doctors orders, they are fine.I recommend coming to this office

UPDATE: 1 star...2 hours after my appointment time and was still not seen. Unacceptable...all she could tell me was they were running behind. Not possible when several providers are in the office and yet every person before and after me had come & gone. The right thing would of been for an office manager to come out and talk to me but of course they can't bill insurance for that so it's not important because that wouldn't make them $$. .....................................................................First visit was GREAT! Front receptionist was friendly and was seen timely. Scheduled my next appointment for Friday July 5th....they called that morning to reschedule as the ultra sound tech called out. So I rescheduled all ultrasounds and follow up on the same Friday...they called the day before as the dr would not be in to give me my results. Rescheduled that follow up appointment. Arrive 20 min early to my ultrasound appointment just to be greeted with a somewhat pleasant/yet annoyed receptionist and was forgot about for 50 min. I checked with her to see how much longer and 10 min later she comes out and tells me it'll be another 15 minutes. No, "I'm sorry we are running behind" or anything. Then 20 min later she comes out and apologizes that it'll be longer as there's only one tech today. My high hopes of this place are quickly diminishing. Since I have all this time on my hands I am looking up other vascular doctors in town...doesn't seem like this place values their patients time at all. What have I learned? Don't schedule on a Friday...odds are no techs, no drs, etc will be in to work. I hope this horrible service changes and this was a fluke...They have a big banner about being voted Bakersfield Best....‍ I sure hope Bakersfield has better

From the initial visit, I have received nothing short of sound and quality care. My procedure was fast, able to return to work as advised and healing time was very minimal.Appreciate the professional and kind physicians and staff.​

My father's tests were canceled without informing me. Found out when we arrived. No calls. Said they would have be rescheduled. They never called us to reschedule.

Excellent quality of care.Office staff attentive and cordial. ONLY ISSUE I HAVE BEEN WAITING two weeks FOR confirmation of MY NEXT APPOINTMENTWITH Dr.Kumar.Attempted contact through portal and internet access. TYPE of care vascular and heart.
