Mayeda Samuel MD

I would give Dr. Mayeda himself 10 stars if I could. However, I am giving him a total of four stars here on Unilocal because of his front office staff.
As a young nurse, I have met and worked with quite a few doctors but have never met one so caring and so detail-​oriented as Dr. Mayeda. He requires 90 minutes with initial patients in which he performs the most thorough physical exam I’ve ever seen a doctor do. He is the best endocrinologist in the OC that’s for sure.
I really don’t care for his front office staff, though. Two girls made a few unnecessary rude comments to me about my mother after she had proved them wrong about my insurance… They had argued with me for three phone calls and kept insisting that I had Obamacare and therefore they couldn’t not accept me. I do not have Obamacare and my insurance fully covered all my visits.

After researching several doctors I’m so happy to have found Dr. Mayeda! He’s very informed and thorough, very patient and does an excellent job explaining and educating you during the process. It was easy to get an appointment and the front desk staff is super sweet. For something as important and involved as thyroid and metabolism, Dr. Mayeda is your best bet!

I began to see Dr Mayeda in March 2013 and I can tell you that I have been extremely pleased with the results! Dr Mayeda is a very thorough and detailed physician. He spends time with his patients to discuss all concerns and answers all questions. He is on call and available for questions or emergencies. DR MAYEDA IS A FINE EXAMPLE OF HOW OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM SHOULD BE.

Best endocrinologist in OC.
