Michael Sei Maehara MD

I appreciate the concern the doctor showed as I describe details of my issues. He is a awesome doctor.

I trust Dr Maehara will help me with all my concerns regarding CPPD

Pih continúe to serve me expeditiously and caringly...I will remain a local client.

The Doctor explained everything clearly and listened to my concerns. He ordered test to be done and follow up appointment.

Another step in a long journey.

My name is (PHI removed), and I'm a patient of Dr. Michael Maehara. He and his entire team are extremely friendly, attentive, clean, and definitely very professional. The office facilities are spotless. It's a very pleasant environment, and I'm truly satisfied. I would recommend him to any of my family or friends. Thank you for such excellent care.

Superior Dr Maehara and staff!!

He is the best Doctor and always care About his patients !

Doctor seemed like he cared and was very informative and professional. A wonderful experience with the doctor. Office staff was just okay.

For me, Dr. Maehara is one of the best rheumatologists. I'm amazed by him, and all the nurses and his entire staff are wonderful. May God bless him and may he continue to be so good because he's a wonderful doctor. Thank you. Bye.

My name is (PHi removed), and during my recent visit with the rheumatologist, he didn't have my medical records from other doctors. He was asking me for the names of my previous doctors, and I couldn't remember because I never had a single doctor; they kept changing doctors. From his comments, it seemed he didn't show much respect for my lack of knowledge about my previous doctors. I'm waiting to see if he can provide me with support soon and order some tests so that he can determine, without any excuses, which medications I should receive to treat my rheumatoid arthritis. So, I'm not very satisfied with the way he spoke and the way he questioned me.

It was a great experience with my visit and staff. Dr. Michael Maehara was excellent. He listen to all my concerns and has come up with a plan for my recovery.

Dr Maehara explained things well and he listened to my concerns. Would definitely recommend him

Dr. Maehara is always so informative and kind with my concerns. I like how proactive he is. I am so glad that I can see this doctor.

Excellent service.

Excellent Care all around

A true professional, his expertise is evident, thank you.

The lack of information the doctor had on my phone records was troublesome. The time frame it took to see the doctor and to get there was also very, very dramatic for my condition.

They have a very friendly and attentive staff. They are always attentive to the patient's needs, helping them and maintaining a very cordial atmosphere. I am very satisfied.

The only negative is I am 5 minutes from the Whittier location, and I have to travel 25 minutes to get this type of service at the Downey location.

I was not happy with the alternative treatment that Dr. Maehara suggested. I asked for some treatment for pain and I did not get satisfactory answers. Thank you. Goodbye.

Dr. Maehara was kind and made me feel comfortable.

Just that he was very thorough and asked a lot of questions, even though I forgot to mention a few things, but he just seems like he's very thoughtful and concerned, you know, with, you know, your answers and just considerate.

His attitude and tone were very comforting. He wasn't condescending. He wasn't dismissive. He listened so carefully and I felt very comfortable sharing the information that I needed to share so that he could help me. I was very grateful to have been scheduled with him because my services with my primary care have been awful, but this doctor was excellent. Thank you.

Dr, Maehara is the reason I make the drive from Apple Valley Ca.

Dr. Maehara was, he's such a great doctor. He's so kind and he's very thorough with what he tells you. He is very compassionate and shows me, the patient, so much care. I was really stressed out and nervous and he helped me to be reassured everything's okay and he's a wonderful doctor and I would recommend him to many people. So thank you.

Hi, when I was first answering questions, I was hitting one for the best and four for the no because I didn't listen correctly. So the first three answers, or four answers, are not correct. Everything was great. They got me in what I wanted. The staff was wonderful. The doctor was wonderful. So please disregard the first three or four questions. It should be fours all the way across the board.

You need more people to answer the phones. It's very hard to get through on the phone and you hold forever when you are able to get the phone, so it's hard to leave a message for the provider. It's hard to make an appointment.

Doctor was very patient and understanding, very thorough as well.

They are always very kind, they help me especially since I don't speak English and the doctor is always very attentive.

Dr. Was very attentive to my needs and and made me feel very comfortable. He listened to my concerned and provided good feedback.

Medical assistants and (name removed) are wonderful. Dr is patient kind and caring!

The service there is great. I love Dr. Maehara and his staff. They are all very nice and courteous and he's very quick and he listens to me very well. My name is (PHI removed). Thank you.

He patiently explained everything and wants to do what is best for me according to the lab results ordered. I trust him to do so .

Everything and the doctor, medical doctor, excellent.

My scheduled wellness appointments have been good. It is my best interest to keep these appointments in order to maintain my health and that doctor is aware of any changes.

Dr. Maehara is a very good doctor. I believe he genuinely cares about my health. When he can he provides options for medications, balancing effectiveness and price. I fully trust him, which is important to me.

Clear address of the all the tests requested by the physician regarding my case within PIH facility. I am new at this hospital. Thank you!

I am very satisfied because all the staff are very friendly and attentive, and they always give me the answers I need to hear. I would definitely recommend them because I am very happy with them. Thank you.

Dr. Maehara always takes his time to answer any questions I have and listens to my concerns. His nurse was respectful and also paid attention to my concerns.

Asked alot of question check everything and was very through

I feel like my doctor really, I feel like he doesn't believe me. And he's just going along and giving me different medications that don't help me. And also, he, last visit, he just said, oh, we'll just call it a name and say it's lupus when my results don't fully show that it's lupus. But I guess he's frustrated and doesn't know what I have, so just wants to put down whatever. I just really frustrated with him and not getting answers for what I have.

My experience was the best and cannot wait to begin being treated for my sickness by doctor.

On the question number two, I didn't know there were going to be four different answers. So I pressed two, but it should be four. Okay, thank you. Bye-bye.

Dr Maehara was very good at explaining everything to me. He made me feel at ease and comfortable enough to express my aches and concerns

I always have a positive experience in this office. Everyone is friendly and helpful. He is one of my best informed doctors. Always answers my questions even if my questions are difficult!!

Dr. Maehara and his staff are extremely attentive to me when I come into the office and I am so thankful to be a patient.

Yes, yes, yes, I'm very happy with it, and I would recommend it to my family. Yes, I really like the service, the way they've treated me, and I would recommend it to my family.

Dr. Maehara is a very good doctor. I saw him for the first time on January 5th and he's very compassionate and he really listened. He spent quality time with my visit. I was very, very impressed. He seems like a very, very wonderful man. Thank you.

Yes, everything was fine. Everything is fine with the doctor and everyone. Okay, thank you.

Everything is great.

This doctor was very thorough, patient. I didn't feel like I was rushing through everything. He didn't pass the buck. I think a lot of people need to be trained by someone that's professional, courteous. It made me feel like we're going to get through this, you know, because I don't know what's been going on for years, two or more, and I've just been passed from specialist to specialist, and then I don't get a response of what happened with my results or what, but he's going to get to the bottom, or at least that's how it felt. Very efficient, and again, as I say, thorough, but most importantly, I didn't feel like a drive-thru doctor, which is now everybody being that, you know, or wanting to give me medication. No, he said he had to figure out what it was before he could prescribe anything, which I really liked.

Exelent

I'm happy with the doctor, he treated me very well and I recommend him.

I love my Dr. Maehara. He always listens to me. He's just a wonderful doctor.

Everything is great.

The staff, including the doctor, are very kind.

Dr Maehara is excellent. He shows care. He takes the time to listen, he shows concern. And never rushes. He always educates me for how to care for my condition at home and my lifestyle.

Dr. Maehara listened intently to my concerns, and addressed all of my questions. Dr. Maehara is proactive with my health care in making sure he covers all the bases for my health. When I walked his office a text was received from my pharmacy informing me that my prescription is ready. I call that excellent service.

Doctor was very thorough and caring. I feel I am in good hands.

The staff is great and my doctor is super. I really like the way he treats me and how he takes care of my health. Thank you.

? BLANK ?

Well, the doctor is new to me. It's my first time, so I can't give him a 100% positive rating because I don't know. It's my first time seeing him. My first time in his office. I'll continue seeing him. So, later on, I'll have more experiences with him. But this first time, well, I can't give him a 100% positive rating. But yes, it was good. Anyway, it was good. Thank you.

Very thourgh

Dr. Maehara has been my rheumatologist for almost 25 years. He's a great doctor.

The Doctor is more care and all his staff are very nice as well as always

to say about Dr. Maehara is that he's been my provider for I would say 20 years and I have never had any complaints about him. He is very patient. He listens. He just really deeply cares about his patients and I would definitely recommend him 100%. I'm very happy for all the caring and all the time that he provides to me on every single visit that I go. So yeah, I'm very happy with Dr. Maehara.

My experience is always the best. My doctor is very detailed.

I was happy with the doctor and happy that I could get another appointment because I couldn't go for my first appointment. I was treated very good. Thank you very much.

Well, this time, he told me that the medication he was giving me wasn't for pain. Because I was having a lot of pain in my joints. And he prescribed it for the pain.

As my Sister suffers from a cognitive disorder due to the removal of a pituitary tumor two years ago, I have become her 24/7 Caregiver and manage all of her written reports and documents. She is however, able to comprehend concepts and conversations, and is able to sign her own consent forms. I submit this survey on her behalf. This was our first visit with Dr Maehara. Due to a very complicated medical history including autoimmune disorders, edema, and Sjögren's, Dr was EXTREMELY thorough in obtaining my medical background, especially prior medications and if there were any positive results. He also ordered a very comprehensive blood panel to be taken as well as a special spinal screening to determine if I may have existing fractures due to the falls I have had because of my mobility and balance issues. I suffer from a severe short term memory condition and depend heavily upon my Sister for daily care and information. She was very impressed by Dr Maehara and requested to be able to switch over to Dr's care as her current Rhumatologist is on an extended medical leave.

Doctor was very professional and knowledgeable and very courteous. So I'm very proud of him.

Dr. Maehara is a kind and caring doctor. His nurse (name removed) is a jewel of a nurse....

All went well. Doctor was through and requested MRI and X Rey's for both my hands with follow up appointment. Unfortunately not till December?

He is easy to understand and always explains to me how things are

Yesterday I had my visit with Dr Maehara. He went over the results and changes in my dexascan. Because I had an extensive dental surgery in April that is not completed yet, changes had to be made that I normally have. I was given the paperwork for both X-rays and bloodwork. Also I will have physical therapy after my approval. He spent a lot of time with me noting the difficulties I now have and doing what will be needed to make my conditions better. It was a very productive visit.

I was seen by the doctor in a timely manner. He took the time to explain everything in my situation to me carefully. He answered my questions. He gave me a follow up plan to get more information to treat my condition. I was extremely pleased with my visit.

Update very good. No complaints. Following doctors medical care (medication & advice) has helped me maintain my health as good as possible.

Generally very good. Thank you.

Dr. Maehara explained everything very well and listened to my concerns. I look forward to my next appointment with him.

Dr. Michael Maehara is such a kind compassionate doctor. He's helped me so much! Also his nurse (name removed). He is the definition of greatness in his field. He's so knowledgeable and caring, making a positive difference in people's lives!

Yes, Dr. Michael Maehara is a wonderful doctor and.
