Internists - Santa Ana, CA

"The service kept getting progressively worse, this was my 7th visit at this facility, and in all 7 visits, I've been seen by 7 different medical personnel. A couple of times I was seen by a nurse practitioner apparently because the doctor wasn't there yet or running late, or just decided not to come. This last visit I was finally seen by Dr. Meka himself, and wow, it took over 1 hour to be seen by him (that's with an appointment), and only 5 minutes spent together in the room. It felt rushed, and I felt unheard. I told him I've been feeling like I've had this cold/flu I couldn't shake off for almost 2 months total. Instead of doing further troubleshooting/tests or at least ask more questions, he said "it's probably just your allergies, go get over-the-counter allergy meds" and then he signed me out. Even after I explained that I am already on allergy meds, namely Claritin and Flonase which I take on a daily basis. I ended up at a Rite Aid Minute Clinic and was diagnosed with a sinus infection, was prescribed some over the counter meds and got better within days."

"horrible bed side manner, no sympathy or compassion. Could care less about what you are going thru. Make sure if you're on Keytruda you have your A1C checked, he didn't feel the need to check mine now I am diabetic on insulin. He could care less as he explained it happens sometimes. Do your research as we are trying to survive cancer his still making his money with not a care in the world. "

"If you want to see this Doctor. It takes about 3 months. I had to see the P/A Sandra Garcia. She seemed niced (seemed) I took all the test she wanted got my medication (especially my Levothyroxin) that I have been taking since I was 16. I'm 61 now. All seemed good until I didn't show up for a follow up appointment. The was no procedure, just a follow up. Well now she won't refill my scripts unless I make an appointment. I am out of my meds and can't get them unless she approves them, which she hasn't thus far. Its only blood pressure meds and glandular, what could happen right. Perhaps a heart attack or a slow death due to not having synthroid in my system. It all about the $$$$ not the care. I thought Doctors took an oath? Oh wait she's not a Doctor and I hope she never will."

"I saw this doctor on 4/22 and he ordered blood work, 1 week after I did the blood work they were supposed to call me to schedule another appointment, it’s been more the 4 weeks and they haven’t called. Do NOT choose this as your CPC. This is a really bad experience! When I called to ask about the blood work results they said they were gonna call me back the same day and never did!!! Bad experience….."
