Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Longevity Center of Arizona Reviews ( 163 )

  1. I used to see a provider at this practice that has since left. I decided to stay considering they took my insurance, but it has been a very frustrating as of recently. The practice used to be run well, the phones were always answered, and …

  2. Dr. Vatticuti is a gem. She takes care of me for thyroid and diabetes. She listens, she cares, her assistant always returns calls.
    I recently moved out of AZ and still come back to see her!

  3. Dr. Vattikuti saved my wife’s life from a horrible disease called Cushings. Dr. Vattikuti and her medical assistant are the best and I don’t say it just to say it. Trust me, my wife has seen lots of doctors. If you are ever referred to Arizona Endocrinologist ask to work with Dr. Vattikuti.

  4. I’m not certain if being completely devoid of customer service skills , compassion or basic manners is a pre-requisite to working here. But to wait well over an hour to have your physician sign a simple medical release, to be told that it’s …

  5. My hypothyroidism and osteoporosis is treated by Dr. Stefan Hasinski. He and his staff have been professional, prompt, and informed. I appreciate the time Dr. Hasinski takes to answer my questions. He explains each condition, ex: how my …

  6. One of the most unprofessional Doctor office, I have ever seen in USA. They dont send the prescription on time to Pharmacy and they dont even response on fax from Pharmacy, disgusting. You have to follow up with them like anything to send …

  7. I have never met a Doctor with such poor “bed side” manner as I did at Arizona Endocrinology Center- Dr. Dolinar was as cold as ice. When I explained why I was there for the visit he said; “well I can’t help you” in such a cold tone. …

  8. Went to my appointment and was AMBUSHED with a contract to sign away ALL of my rights to Cival and Superior Court Trials .They want Arbitration that is only one sided for themselves

  9. Dr.Kang has always been professional and caring the past six years I have seen her. Her in-depth knowledge of endocrinology is invaluable at identifying my medical issues. Their front and back office personnel are also an asset to Dr. Kang’s staff and the patient.

  10. I have a fairly rare type of hypoglycemia. I lost weight so quickly, I thought I was dying. Dr. Yasmin Akhunji knows what’s going on and explained it all to me in a professional manner that also felt like she cared. She answered all the …

  11. I was seen once at the 28th street location because my PCP referred me due to a high TSH. My doctor at the center reviewed my thyroid ultrasound and ordered additional labs. She stated after she got my labs back she would have me come for a …

  12. Please don’t come to this office my husband have Diabetes and was coming to this office for few years .. the last two week his Is be out of his medication so numerous calls and left message still not answer or even refill .. this office it’s playing with his health …PLEASE Don’t come here

  13. Scam and quackery at its finest, however, the front office personal were okay, I didn’t have problems, just inconvenience at times when they were overloaded. The practice is largely for weight lose and facial fillers.

  14. Should be good that google have the option for put a zero, because some places deserved. I went there last year, and was a very bad experience, Dr. Chong was the doctor that I’m pick because somebody recommend me him, He was rude, impolite, …

  15. Great staff, they have lab onsite, they have an ultrasound tech, minimal wait time and extremely competent providers. I recommend them to anyone who needs an endocrinologist.

  16. DO NOT GO HERE! I was told nothing was wrong with me, and today after getting a second opinion I found out I have Hashimoto’s AND am insulin resistance. They don’t care about you. Don’t waste your time.

  17. Find another option: I will not be going back.
    I was originally misdiagnosed based on dated labs. My most recent follow up labs from another doctor show I don’t need medication.

  18. Endocrinologists always get a bad rating (you all know from whom), but I’m not one of them. My complaint lies in the operations side. Can you guys hire someone who can answer the phone, and maybe someone who can do what they say they’re …

  19. If a zero star rating was an option I would have chose it. I am left speechless at the customer service I had received today, normally I would not go out of my way to leave a bad review but I feel others deserve to know what they will be …

  20. They have very bad service !! I did not like Doctor Rohit Dwived. Nothing was fast, and they lost my daughter’s lab from the blood that they drew from her. When calling, there were no fast replies and no apologies. Had to keep calling everyday to get somewhere, and ended up going in when calling wasn’t enough. Horrible!

  21. The office staff are unfriendly and cold—who hurt them?! They are not approachable (at window, in office) and they don’t smile or take care in helping check-in for appointments. My 1st appt was on 12/12/17. Dr. Davidson was nice and, …

  22. Dr. Yasmin Akhunji is an amazing endocrinologist. I was fed up with my previous doctor and researched and found her. At my appointment I was at my wits end. She looked at me when I spoke, and she listened. Then we together came up with a …

  23. If you want to be treated like a number and not have any of your phone calls returned to you, then this is the place for you. I have given this place more than a year because everyone can have bad days. My voice would often become hoarse …

  24. Dr Richard Dolinar is very rude. I saw him for the frist time today. He poked fun at me for having several medical conditions and laughter at me. He when as far is asking me what conditions didn’t I have. He did not treat me instead he …

  25. Dr. Yasmin Akunji is such an excellent and caring physician who has correctly diagnosed my condition and has placed me on hyperthyroid medications which are working wonderfully. She is very informative, explains everything in a clear and …

  26. Women at the desk were mean and did not care for the patients at all. Will send bills to collections without notifying you of a due charge, will cancel your appointments, again, without notification, and will neither be respectful nor considerate.

  27. Chong is rude, impolite, obnoxious, and demeaning. When I was ill with thyroid cancer, confused, and unsure of the labs and follow up, Chong told me, “You know, you and I are the same age. You ARE an adult.” At that point, I knew it was …

  28. Staff efficient, place clean. Dr. Dolinar the best ever. Takes whatever time is needed. Answers questions without making one feel like an idiot. Need labs- these guys do it there quickly & as painlessly & bruise free as possible. Their “Healow” website is annoying, but medical care is top notch

  29. Worst experience ever! I wasn’t taking serious, as I asked questions regarding my health, Dr. Maja Davidson kept looking at her watch impatiently like she had more important things to do. In desperate help and having hope I asked her “do …

  30. DR Akhunji is really nice and listened to my concerns. We worked on a game plan and she gave the imprecision that she really cares.
    On the other side I’ve been trying to reach anybody in this office for the last …

  31. Ignoring the bad reviews was poor judgment on my part. Out of desperation, I called on September 9th to schedule an appointment with Dr. Dwivedi since my appointment at the Mayo Clinic isn’t until December 10th. When I arrived for my …

  32. Dr Akunji is the most wonderful Doctor. I was apprehensive having 3 nodules on my thyroid.
    I told my husband & friend whom go to other Dr’s at the same practice. They should change to Dr Akunji I am so thrilled to have found such a wonderful doctor

  33. Dr Kang has been great dealing with my diabetes..very easy to talk to and very at ease with you..not ur typical get them in get them out type Dr. highly recommend her !!!

  34. It has been 2 weeks since my blood draw to try and figure out what is wrong with me. I was told by the doctor that the in house lab takes 2-3 business to process blood work. I have called over 8 times and only got through once to find out …

  35. My husband is a T1D and the experience he has had as a patient at this office is less than stellar. I’m fact, it’s been horrendous. The doctor he sees is inattentive and has called in the wrong prescription to pharmacies multiple times …

  36. Dr. Melissa Prince has done something for me that no one every has. She’s gotten me to the point where I am finding out more about my body, and helping me come up with ways to correct the issues.

  37. Great Center for people that need to lose weight or have Diabetes!!!
    Great Staff, Doctors & Service!!!
    Great Location in Scottsdale, just off of Scottsdale Road & Deer Valley Road in Arizona.
    Kory

  38. I have been a patient at Arizona Endocrinology for over 5 years. Dr. Vattikuti and her MA, Melissa, are beyond top notch!. Always spot-on for appointments, thorough in taking history (and hearing what is said) and discussing options. I would highly recommend them to anyone dealing with thyroid issues.

  39. The most professional Dr I have Dr Chong. He is so patient and explain everything so clear that there is no way you don’t understand what he is talking about. I love it and I wish all Dr were the way he is 🙂

  40. Dr. Akhunji is seriously such a great doctor. She actually listens to your concerns and really takes the time to listen. She does care about her patients and I appreciate all the help she has given me so far! Will recommend to anyone dealing with issues pertaining to this office!

  41. Worst customer service in the medical industry. Can’t get anyone to call you back. I’ve called countless times and no one will refill my diabetes meds for more than a 2 week supply. WORST EVER! Dr. Monder’s personality was cold and bossy. I …

  42. I was told by Doctor Phillips that she would refuse to see me if I was already a patient at this office but she would accept new patients from anywhere else it made me feel very rejected. It’s sad because it’s very close to my house now I have to go to Scottsdale

  43. If I could give a zero I would. I waited anxiously for this appt as I had been so sick for so long. I walked into the office for my first visit and seriously stood at the check in window with two women behind the window looking down and I …

  44. I have been going there for several years to see Dr. Vatikutti. I am very pleased with the treatment I have received. The staff has been friendly and helpful.
    There is only one dissatisfaction I have at that office. That is with one lab technician , when she takes blood I have left a few times with bruises on my arm.

  45. I have been seeing Dr. Phillips for 3 1/2 years now. As a diabetic for many many years, I’ve seen a lot of endocrinologists. Dr. Phillips has by far been my favorite and the most helpful. She is knowledgeable about insulin pumps and always …

  46. I’ve avoided doctors because they have typically been rude and treated me like I don’t have a brain. I had an urgent need to see an endocrinologist and was scheduled within a day of calling. The staff was absolutely lovely, but above all …

  47. This office is truly amazing. I drive nearly two hours to be seen here. Today there was a problem with my appointment and the staff went above and beyond to help make sure that I could be seen. I highly recommend this office!

  48. I agree with the rest of the reviewers…Staff seems “put out” because your there! Very rude…
    I made an appointment…talked to a doctor…no prescription..good -by….they …

  49. This place seemed to be professional but the time it takes to get things done is ridiculous. Takes month to get in then it took couple weeks for tests. And then never get back to you about any of the results. When they say things that make …

  50. Had a different person today, mine was on maternity leave. I’ve continually been gaining weight, even with diet and exercise. ( I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism) i gained another 17 lbs since my last visit even with 5 days at the …

  51. Not planning to return back ever. A $320 bill to get a “eat more fruits” when my glucose was a bit high. Also the provider was a cold, offensive and rough guy. I mean, the visit was not for free, the very least thing you could ever do is to threat the patient warmly, because he’s in there for a reason not just for pure fun.

  52. Don’t care at all that my health issues are serious. Rude, no interest in me, and unaccomadating. Cancelled one appointment after I had already arrived for it, but then I called to say I would be slightly late for a different appointment …

  53. I had to wait 45 minutes for my appointment. Dr. Kang then ordered lab results and never called me back with the results after they had been submitted by the lab. I left multiple messages for her medical assistant to get back with me with …

  54. Stay far away from this place! They never call back and their messaging center has abysmal customer support. Dr Monder needs to work on his bedside manner. I quickly found a new endocrinologist.

  55. I would give no stars if it was available. I don’t feel that Dr Davidson listened to myself or my husband. We are trying to explain how I am feeling and she just didn’t listen or care. She took offense of another specialist stating it was …

  56. Type 1 diabetic. I was a patient here for over a decade. Called today to make an appointment, and apparently my endo is no longer going to be there. No notice, no warning, and I wouldn’t have even known if I hadn’t called until my …

  57. Overall, I have had a positive experience learning how to manage my health with the assistance of Leeanna Peterson. She appears to always take a personal interest in my health and well-being. Thank you!

  58. Updated 10/23/18: Folks if I can save any of you from extreme frustration please take the time to read this review in it’s entirety.
    I have called this facility upwards of 10 times now with no success at getting a …

  59. I’ve had nothing but good experiences here. I see doctor Vattikuti and she is really great and to the point. Shes also great about returning my emails in a timely manner when I have questions or concerns reguarding my health. I see her …

  60. I was given a referral to set up an appointment here the phone was busy the five times I called. So I scheduled the appointment online once online it was easy to schedule and easy to find my insurance provider. Then I received a call saying …

  61. Dr. Kang is the best endo I have ever been to. I was a patient of hers for at least a year and she has now left this office and I keep checking the internet to find her. I would follow her to the end of the earth…or at least Glendale.

  62. If there was a way to give zero stars, I would have! Absolutely terrible! If they would’ve called my insurance, as they claimed, they could’ve asked the coverages instead of running me around until nearly 30 minutes past my appointment and …

  63. My wife and myself both see Dr. Menon and I have referred many of my friends to see her, and that’s because she is one of the best endocrinologists we have seen so far. She’s very approachable and she’s very thorough and I trust her …

  64. I was struggling getting effective treatment managing my thyroid medication post thyroidectomy until finding this practice. Within two visits my levels were stable and I was feeling well again.

  65. Dr. Rudgear saw the severity of my disease & the urgency to treat on my first visit to her office. Unlike my previous Endo that I could never get a hold of. On my 2nd visit I saw an NP who was just as wonderful. Highly recommend.

  66. I was a little worried going to this clinic after ready all of the bad reviews but I’m glad I still decided to go. Yesterday was my first time here and it was a great experience. The reception lady that checked me in was very pleasant. My …

  67. This place is just not good. Constantly get booked in to see a NP who is too busy on her laptop and can never answer any of your questions. Seam to be more interested in selling you weight loss solutions and medication to make money than …

  68. I wish there was a half star to rate this office! I don’t even think a doctor works at this office I was only treated by a physician’s assistant. The office seems geared toward whatever fad weight loss plans are in right now as opposed to …

  69. Dr. Kang is by far my favorite Doctor. I wish I could come see her for everything! I have been coming to Arizona Endocrinology Center for approx 4 years. She is very thorough and takes time to listen. She is very personable and easy to talk …

  70. Neither the doctor or nurse practitioner I see is here anymore. Even though they confirmed my appointment 2 days ago, I don’t have a doctor so they’ll try to fit me in
    INCOMPETENT

  71. I’m going to cancel my appointment if I can ever find a person to cancel it. There is no email to contact, they don’t answer the phone and the fax doesn’t get answered to send paperwork. After reading reviews and this experience, I’m out …

  72. I have been going to EDLC for almost 15 years and have found everyone involved to be extremely helpful. I have received calls if they have noticed anything unusual with my bloodwork prior to my scheduled appointment. I strongly recommend EDLC.

  73. This office was able to see me within two weeks as a new patient. (A different place had a 2+ month wait). Dr. Davidson was great and listened to every concern I had and was able to get labs ordered that in turn lead to a treatment plan. We …

  74. Prior to coming here, I consulted with several other General Doctors, Specialists, and even Men’s Health clinics. It wasn’t until I came to Endocrinology of Arizona I was able to get my medication and hormone levels under control for the first time in years. I highly recommend getting you hormone levels checked

  75. Dr. Phillips has always listened to my questions and given straight forward and understandable answers. I’ve seen a number of physicians over the years and she is one of the best.

  76. This practice is so professional, friendly and always on time. I’ve been a patient for years. Once I left due to the distance I had to travel when their Chandler office closed. I soon went back because I rather travel the distance and get excellent care than go down the street and not be treated well. 😊 …

  77. I tried to get my insurance applied so I could get a correct amount for my bill, and the billing department refused to answer the phone for many, many calls over many days. When they finally answered my call, the lady was absolutely rude and told me that everything was my fault. I will not be returning.

  78. Staff is completely incompetent and rude. They do not have anyone who is nice to the patients and does their job correctly. Dr. Rudgear has been “monitoring” my thyroid levels since I first starated with her and hasn’t changed anything even …

  79. Dr Kang is seriously the best doctor I’ve seen in several years. she answered so many questions about my condition and helped me understand my options. – knowledgeable, compassionate, downright awesome

  80. Melissa Prince, NP not only answered all of my questions, but also listened to me which is something I have not received from any physician within the last 10 years! As a result, my life has been changed for the absolute better! I am finally on my road to recovery and I’m feeling better than I have felt in the last 20 years!

  81. My visit with Melissa Price, NP is alway very pleasant. She listen to your concerns and just doesn’t hand you medicine to take. She actually explain things to you and listens to your concerns. She is wonderful physician.

  82. Leanna Peterson saved my life. I went to her feeling completely exhausted. No energy and feeling like I wanted to lay down where I was and just go to sleep. After some quick easy testing Dr. Peterson diagnosed me with Type II diabetes. …

  83. I have gone to this office twice. The first time i left appalled. This time, the doctor was late to the appointment, so she didnt give me much time to answer my questions. I should have not come back. Waste of money to go to a specialist …

  84. Dr Kang is the best physician I’ve ever seen; I’m 75yo and have seen more than a few. She is competent, compassionate and knowledgeable, a great listener and communicator with reliable follow up. …

  85. Haven’t even been in the office yet. Made a new patient appointment in February. The earliest they could see new was in May so I booked it. Got a call in april that dr nguyin can’t see me that day and soonest reschedule is in June.

  86. Saw Dr. Prince. She spent all of 30 minutes with me after I paid $300 for the doctor visit (no insurance). I was led to believe she could help me with the complex symptoms I was having with respect to my Hashimoto condition. I left a …

  87. All the staff is very well organized,quick, efficient and professional. From doing blood work to administering tests to prescribed medications all is done always with a smile and helpful hints. Keep it up the great work!!! 🙂

  88. These nice ladies literally saved my life!! In my continued care, they remain the best medical facility I have ever been to. I have never been left waiting past my appt time. In fact, at times I have arrived early & they usually get me in early.

  89. The office waiting area, back office, patient exam rooms and lab were very nicely appointed.
    I was not thrilled with my new patient appointment, which I got to have only 10 mins, maybe a few more, face to face with the doctor.

  90. I am educated on my condition and I scheduled a consultation to talk about
    medicine and dosage options, instead I was lectured about my health from an assistant that is clearly unhealthy. They tried to schedule me for several …

  91. I have had multiple issues with getting things done from this office. Prescriptions filled, as they don’t follow through or return phone calls almost never happen. They have told their doctors that they can only spend 15 mins with each …

  92. I have had a great experience with Doctor Rudgear and her crew. She and her team are interested and willing to listen to my issues and are more interested in developing a program that will work for me than force feeding me a program that …

  93. Dr Kang is very thorough and very knowledgeable. She is very easy to talk to and extremely down to earth. She spends as much time as necessary to explain everything. We did not feel that she was rushing to see her next patient and made us feel as we were priority! 5 star service!!

  94. I am very happy with the treatment I have received at EDLC and would highly recommend them. I was having thyroid trouble and couldn’t find a doctor that understood what I was going through. I was very lucky to find Leaanna who was able to help resolve my issues and now I’m feeling great! Thanks EDLC 😀 …

  95. Leeanna Peterson was very caring and professional and wanted to get down to the root of my problem. The office staff were all very friendly as well. They have a lab tech and an ultrasound tech on sight so it does get very busy, but very convenient. Overall, I highly recommend them.

  96. I’ve been receiving treatment from EDLC for at least 12ys. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. The staff and all of the Providers here are the best! They are very thorough, knowledgeable and the coordination of care is fantastic. Calls are …

  97. Any stars I give this place are purely because of the amazing, compassionate care I receive from Melissa Prince. I would recommend her to anyone. The office staff at this office, however, are horrendous. Especially the office manager, with …

  98. I recommend Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Longevity Center of Arizona. This group is fantastic from the minute you walk in the door. They are polite and professional. Doctor Kristina B. Rudgear, is incredible. She takes the time to listen …

  99. This is a great office with caring and helpful staff always polite. I drive from Gilbert to Scottsdale because I couldn’t find any other practice with
    that treated me like this office does. My doctor spends as much time as I need to understand my treatment and medication.

  100. Been going here to see Dr. Melissa Prince for the last 4 years. I trust her fully, she’s always been truthful with me, help me turn my life around not only with my two auto immune diseases but also with my weight I lost 30 lbs with the …

  101. This place saved me! When I lived on that side of town, I was referred to them by a former co-worker, and I’m glad I went there! The office staff was friendly, courteous, and made me feel comfortable. …

  102. Office staff and Leanna Peterson are Truly Amazing! They are so helpful, very kind , respectful and very knowledgeable n expert at all what they do! I couldn’t ask for a better Endocrinologist n staff for my Mom!! They are wonderful!

  103. Being a nurse with decades of experience can make it tough to be a patient. Leanna Peterson was relaxed and confident and competent. This made me very grateful to have her as my practitioner. Appreciate the front office, lab and ultrasound staff! Worth the drive from Chandler! Thank you for taking such good care of me!

  104. I’m writing this review on behalf of my boyfriend, a former patient of EDLC. I was very appalled at the conduct of Melissa Prince. She told my boyfriend (a Type 1 diabetic and epileptic) she was “surprised he wasn’t dead yet”. My boyfriend …

  105. It took over a month and a half to get an appt. with Dr. Nguyen. They have all these windows that are tinted and chairs in front and with the window open a huge plexiglass with a small 2-3 inch gap at the bottom. So no one can hear you and …

  106. I have met with Dr Akunji two times. The first time she ran the tests that I was hoping for, and was able to diagnose the problem. She did not push medication, even though I have been pressured by other doctors to do so when it’s not …

  107. Dr. Peterson has been one of the most caring health care providers I have seen. She listens to my concerns and formulated a plan to address them keeping me included and informed every step of the way. She truly cares about helping me to get well. I highly recommend her.

  108. I am giving this office a 2 star ONLY because Dr Akhunji, who I only got to meet once in person and one time via Telemed, seems to be an excellent doctor. The staff however, needs quite a bit more training on how to communicate with the …

  109. My experience with EDLC has been a disappointing one. After my appointment today, I will not return. It is less to do with the quality of the medical care than it is to do with the multiple inconveniences I have endured. …
