Alimadadian Hossein, MD

Not good experience. I went there (O.C. Heart Institute) due to a deep worry that I would follow in the steps of most of family, dying by heart attack. The first time I met this doctor he had the gall to answer hid phone in our consultation. I let it go because I thought it might an emergency. He ordered a bunch of expensive and unnecessary tests, that came back with terrible results (Calcium score specifically). I had an appointment to get a stress test, which I was very anxious about since all this bad news was coming my way. I show up and the stress test is canceled because my insurance wouldn’t pay for it. He wastes my time with a consult telling me nothing, answers the phone again in our meeting from his tennis partner, and lets me leave freaked out with no resolution. As soon as I leave I call my insurance and they tell me this could be resolved immediately if the doctor picked up the phone and spoke to them. I regrouped, found another credible doctor, she resolved everything on the spot and thank God my test results came back ok. I went through hell because this guy was too lazy to pick up the phone and get it done. His PA tries to cover for him but she can’t do his job for him. BTW the new doctor said she would have never ordered that calcium screening because it doesn’t tell any story about blockage. The peer to peer review that I needed still hadn’t been done 1 week later when I saw the new doctor, who got it approved the same day. Take your job seriously or don’t bother.
