Very pleased with all my care I receive at this Silver Lake clinic including lab x-ray and reception personnel
-
The doctor recommended a cpap even though he didnt have my medical history. Maybe take a minute to learn about your patient.
-
He was very informative and knowledgeable and most importantly, he listened.

I was a little bit frustrated after my visit. I needed to transfer my care after Dr. Cheng left and I'm getting surgery in February so I needed to establish a new primary care doc. Visited Dr. Amador for transfer of care and he ordered some labs for my surgery. Had a follow up visit in person and he tells me that I got the labs too far in advance of my surgery so I have to get them again closer to the date. Unfortunately there was no mention of this when the original labs were ordered so now I'm going to have to pay $500 out of pocket for a second set of labs in order to keep my surgery date. Being conscious of these things on the part of my care team would be nice. I know you don't know the ins and outs of everyone's insurance, but giving me all of the information (like how far out from surgery the anesthesiologist will accept labs) would allow me to make an informed decision and save me $500.
