Testimonials

Always on time

I had a concern about my heart muscle. There were no appointments until August, but they worked me in and the doctor saw me. I was very appreciative.

I appreciate the time Dr. Nguyen takes to ask and answer questions during an appointment.

Dr. W is a very nice caring thorough doctor

Very informative

The procedure went just fine. The doctor was very professional and concise in explaining the details of the procedure. The nursing staff was just wonderful.

Very caring and thorough

Dr. Wertman listens and is very easy to understand. I felt a little rushed but I should have had questions written down ahead.

Excellent

Good followup appointment.

Great!

My only complaint is that is hard to get to the people to help me. Telephone area needs some looking at.

Kelly was friendly and professional. Dr W was clear and succinct. I value his experience and attention to solving my issues.

The cardiac pacemaker down load was not done since y last visit. Someone did not follow through… no one was watching me…all the people timeIthought I was being taken care of. Dr. Mitiku corrected this issue, I think. Time will tell.

Dr. Mitiku is a caring doctor. He takes time for his patients, answers questions, listens, compassionate, and I felt he had my health concerns as a priority. Not all doctors share these qualities. After tests confirming my diagnosis, I went with his recommendation of an ablation. It was successful. I had high expectations for a doctor being an x-nurse. Dr. Mitiku and he staff have great follow through. Dr. Mitiku came recommended from my Hoag medical doctor. Hoag Hospital is top notch.

Other than leaving 5 messages for solange, trying to get an update on what was going on with my insurance after tests were decline, the rest of the office is great and the doctor is wonderful. Took time with me to explain things to me. When finally getting a hold of Solange the day before my rescheduled testing was done, all she said was "we are very busy." Amber was wonderful when my husband had to physically go into the office the day before to find out what was going on. Solange's phone call was after he did that.

Great friendly staff.

Everyone was great except it was hard to get the receptionist attention because she was on her phone with ear plug. She was also abrupt with her answers, acting like not to be bothered. This was totally opposite to the great service with the echo, with the doctor and the appointment scheduler. Thank you!

My autistic son has been having unexplained weight loss, as monitored by Dr Hirose and Dr Doonan. He also has unexplained fevers, many bouts of fatigue and low tolerance for exertion, sometimes sharp pain upon exertion or picking up something heavy. He has unexplained vomiting and sometimes coughs but does not have a cold. His legs and feet frequently get swollen and are often very cold. He has a heart monitor but I’m not sure what it is calibrated to monitor. Boston Scientific said doctors can select what to monitor for and if it’s not selected, it won’t be discoverable. I have no idea how much is being monitored. I’m afraid for my son because autistic people don’t get the same kind of care and I see him suffering on a day to day basis. I worry that he may have had endocarditis or some sort of circulation problem in 2022 and 2023 because of his symptoms.

Dr. Nguyen reviewed my prior test results and will call later after reviewing the monitor results.

Great communications. Couldn’t get a better doctor.

Dr Nguyen is exceptional. He is patient, kind and knowledgeable. Trust him completely. But, the office staff could use improvement. It is hard to get through to them, have had to hound them to set up procedures, provide drs orders to hospital, etc. Hope they get more staff and trainjng.

Great!!!

Dr. Nguyễn treated me with respect. Listened to my issues and recommended a plan to minimize discomfort.

I saw Dr Wertman for advice on heart palpitation and varicose vein. He listened to my questions very patiently , checked my heart and legs, and gave me very good advice. He is a very calm person. I appreciated that very much. What I also liked about this clinic as a whole was the efficiency they demonstrated. I arrived on time and was greeted by friendly receptionist who found my chart right away. After a few minutes waiting, the nice nurse took me in for checks of my vitals and review of my medication changes. A few minutes later, Dr. Wertman came in to talk with me. On my way out, the nurse helped me make an appointment for a follow up. Overall, it was a great experience, and I highly recommend Dr. Wertman and his Clinic at Sand Canyon, Irvine.

Everything was perfect!

I appreciate the time Dr Nguyen spent with me. I am confident that I am in good hands!

Dr. Nguyen was fantastic. He helped me understand my symptoms and how to manage my issue. Additionally, he went above and beyond to give me an appointment summary before I left the clinic so I had my information right away rather than having it mailed to me later in the week.

Short wait in lobby. Dr Wertman entered room quickly, listened and answered my questions clearly. Felt very comfortable.

Dr. MITIKU spent more time for the patient, answered all the questions and especially after the procedure he himself phoned to follow up the patient instead of asking the nurse to phone. Thank you.

I was treated well by all staff and was satisfied with the medical care I received. However, I was given so many pages of paper work to complete some requiring Insurance information even after I submitted my insurance forms on arrival. I was asked to list my medications on the forms but I was also asked what medications I was on by the individual who assessed my vital signs. In fact, I didn't have time to complete the forms until my visit was over!

Always a great conversation and guidance. I consider Dr. Nguyen a good friend.

Test went as previously explained.

Thank you for your time and 3 options. One more I need to explore. Do you have the name of an homeopathic Dr for me to go to? Best Regards Sandy

Good visit.

Very caring and knowledgeable about current therapies.

Took me right in as scheduled Very professional and courteous. Testing went well and all questions were answered

Dr. Wertman and staff found an appt for me next day for painful vein issue. Problem solved! I appreciate Dr. Wertman’s caring demeanor and expert care.

I was in and out of the office quickly and the staff was very friendly.

a AS EXPECTED

Thank you for Dr. Mitiku!

Great physician!

I had a very good experience with Dr. Mitiku very professional, always taking time to go over any test & answers all questions so its understood, I have been a patient for the past 2 years & have gotten the best of care 100% of the time . thanks for being my doctor BOB W.

Excellent! Dr Wertman explains clearly, thoroughly. Answers questions completely, patiently. Reviews, and listens. I greatly appreciate his attention.

I missed Dr Ehrlich’s warmth and sense of humor. The new Dr seemed kind and knowledgeable.

I like the attention

Dr. Wertman is very knowledgeable and I feel very fortunate to be under his care.

On time, thorough, cordial, helpful!

Waited less than 5 minutes to see my doctor, staff was quick, kind, and efficient.

Staff were all efficient and professional. Dr. Mitiku was clear, patient and an excellent communicator.

Dr Nguyen has been a very kind listening doctor. I choose Dr Nguyen as my cardiologist when l moved to Rancho Mlssion Viejo from Irvine because hr was associated with HOAG was highly recommended by a friend at HOAG. I am very pleased and highly satisfied with my choice. Thanks for the great care. Jim Kelley

The associate fully explained the procedure and was communicating through out. Very friendly and professional.

Great Dr. Excellent explanation of all procedures.

Professional

Very good

Dr. Nguyen is one of the only doctors I've met who walked into the room without a laptop or computer -- he sat on the chair and spoke with me. Often times, doctors are frantically trying to get notes into the system. Instead, he sat down, heard my concerns and questions and addressed each one of them. Dr. Nguyen is someone who cares about his patients, I highly recommend his clinic.

Dr Mitiku is extremely knowledgeable and is quick to give a clear presentation of what is going on with your heart, both verbally and through visualizations. His manner is friendly and caring. I’ve sent a long time friend to see him and she is equally positive about her experiences. I would recommend him to anyone experiencing concern about the behavior of their heart. He is the best!

Everyone at Coastal Cardiology treated me with respect and my appointment was great from start to finish..Doctor Mitiku went over everything with me. He was so kind and took the time to address all of my questions. I never felt hurried. Thank you so much for all that you did for me and will continue to do in figuring out the issues of my heart ♥️ Sincerely, Brenda Duimstra

Very friendly, very efficient and attentive to patient needs! Highly recommended!

Monday, November 21, 2022 time 12:58PM Dr. Wertman - I have been trying to contact you about filling my prescription for Eliquis. I have been told that Coastal Cardiology is no longer in my Network with ADOC - Dr. Harm. Until they get me a new Cardiologist, I need a prescription for Eliquis that is critical. CenterWellness is my new Pharmacy and they have been trying to reach you for several days. They left a voice message to me asking for my assistance. No one in your office seems to be following up on this request. Please fax to 1-888-659-6823. Thank you Doctor.

Fabulous staff, beautiful and convenient office, and top-notch doctor!

I really like the atmosphere here. They were on time and Dr seems to address your concerns.

Thorough. Wish to maintain ability for permanent communication. Tony Perelli-Minetti

Everyone in the office is very professional that includes my favorite Dr Timiku.

Very good

Dr. Mitiku and his staff were very thorough, thoughtful and professional.

My experience was great . I was greeted when I came in and was promptly taken care of. Jaqueline the technician was extremely helpful and nice. She made me feel very comfortable. The doctor explained everything to me and took the time to really listen to my concerns. He was very thorough and made me fell very comfortable.

I was seen on time, technician was very courteous and very concerned with how I was experiencing the echocardiogram.

Straight shooter. No fluff.

Dr. Mitiku is an AMAZING cardiac electrophysiologist! I’ve had some issues with Afib as well as SVT ‘s and Dr. Mitiku was able to definitively find out what the issue was after I had seen several other Dr’s. I can’t thank him enough for helping me out and to continue to help me out and set up a plan for my treatment. I highly recommend ANYONE who needs to see an electrophysiologist TK see Dr. Mitiku!!

I had my 6 month Post Ablation visit with Dr. Mitiku last Friday. I had worn a heart monitor for 2 weeks. I was a little anxious for the results; yet confident that I was in Dr. Mitiku's care. Dr. Mitiku brought in the stack of papers; and went over them with my husband and me. Page by page, the date looked good; and he was enthusiastic and happy. We felt like we were sharing the news with a friend. I'm not sure who was the most excited! Dr. Mitiku is a super Doc, and an outstanding human being!

Excellent care.

Dr Nguyen was very personable, he spoke directly to my daughter to encourage her to share how she was feeling and put us both at ease with his open and frank explanations.

Very knowledgeable and thoughtful. Excellent communication.

Good service

Dr. Mitiku is an outstanding Electrophysiologist. I chose him specifically based on his education and experience and once I met him he was thoughtful, he listened, he provided advice and counsel and he is just great. I following him to his new office with Coastal Cardiology and am also very pleased with the practice. The office staff were courteous and friendly and efficient. Wait time was adequate. Time in the room was adequate. A very good experience. Thank you.

Dr. Wertman is the best.

Dr Nyuen provided excellent professional service and advisement I need.

Dr. Wertman has been my cardiologist for the past few years. He's one of the most experienced and knowledgeable physicians I have met. Fully committed to the care of his patients, he is quite friendly and humble. He runs the office efficiently and very attentive to how the patients feel. Always going the extra mile for well being of the patients

Verry Good DOCTOR

Pleasant

Dr Mitiku listens carefully to patients concerns, addresses their questions, and doesn’t rush through the appointments. In other words, provides excellent care. The same goes for his staff.

very thorough, takes the time to explain everything clearly and listens to any concerns.

Dr. Mitiku is very patient to explain my condition and provides proper treatments to me. He is such a great reliable doctor that I can 100% trust . His nurse is also nice. Only thing I need is I need more detailed description for installing the monitor properly because I experienced twice the monitor dropped from my chest. How can i make it firm to prevent this happen? I think the pad is not stick enough to hold monitor. Can I add a tape to it? I'll be very appreciated to give more instruction so that DR Mitiku can get accurate test results. It is very important! Thanks! Louis Yang

Dr Mitiku is very knowledgeable, kind and caring. He explains everything and has all the time I need for questions.

Very professional, good listener, asked appropriate questions.

Appointment time was as scheduled and greeted well. Dr Nguyen is the best. I would recommend this office to everyone

Doctor Mitiku is a straight shooter, smart, personable and no nonsense... The cardiac tech was skilled, personable and very good at her job...not to mention gorgeous ( think that's why my blood pressure was elevated)

Dr. Mitiku took his time to listen to me, and also explain things. I'm very thankful.

In one Ablation procedure Dr Mitiku cured my Afib and Aflutter. I have had no incidents of either since. A terrific electrophysiologist.

Friendly and attentive, knowledgeable, answered all my questions.

Dr Miktiku does a great job of explaining the procedures and steps.

Dr. Wertman and his staff is always pleasant and I get in to see him at my appointment time which is important to me. He listens to my needs. He has a great personality and he is very pleasant to be around. I look forward to my visits with him. I am happy to submit this review to Dr. Wertman. Yvonne Cole

He is kind and expert in cardiology.

As normal, both the front house staff and Dr Brett Wertman listen to all my concerns and help to facilitate the test and/or services needed. I highly recommend them to everyone I talk too.

Such a great doctor.

My experience with Dr. Nguyen was outstanding. He sat down with me, took the time needed to explain my heart condition, and what further testing was needed. He reassured me that he will help me every step of the way, into having a productive and long life. His demeanor is calmness, kindness and professional. See Dr. Nguyen. He is worth the wait!!!

Dr. Nguyen and his team are extremely professional and patient oriented. I am very grateful to be able to have Dr. Nguyen as my specialist.

I was a new patient, referred by my insurance company. Dr. Wertman was very attentive, both listening to and reviewing my recent hospital tests and RX recommendations. I will definitely see him again and follow his recommendations.

Staff is friendly and helpful. Dr. wertman listens to my concerns and offers good advice and options.

Wonderful

I really like going to see Dr Wertman. He tells me if I'm doing good or I need to improve

Informational educational

stress test not easy or comfortable but the gal running it did well and made me feel comfortable dr Wertman spent a few minutes in the room toward the end of the test and gave me some time and conversation. Was rather brief in his comments and not long in explanation of his findings regarding results from the test. happy nothing negative surfaced from the test, will put my faith in the Dr as I move forward regarding my heart health

Dr. Wertman is very patient and professional, and care about his patients

Minimum wait time. The doctor was informative and took time to answer all questions. Good reminder system for all appointments.

Wonderful thank you!

On time and professional

Everyone is very helpful and Doctor Mitiku explained and answered all questions very thoroughly... thank you very much

GOOD

Excellent experience

Dr Nguyen was the 2nd Cardiologist I had seen in a month. After reviewing my tests he ordered more and tests proved no real danger. He still recommended an angiogram for certainty. It was evident I had blockage in 3 arteries, his persistence saved me from a heart attack! Thank you Dr Nguyen!

Dr. Wertman is always familiar with the details of my case before he even walks in the door of the examination room. He is calm and patient and never rushes through the visit. He makes sure to answer all questions. You feel like you are in good, competent, wise hands!

Only 3 stars because I went in for my annual echocardiogram of my heart yesterday and was told that I’m not getting an echo. I’m only seeing the cardiologist. I’ve been getting echos every October since my open heart surgery in 2018. I was diagnosed with a rare connective tissues disorder in 2019 (Ehler’s-Danlos Syndrome) so I prefer to have my heart looked at simply because it was arrested, sliced open, reconstructed, and shocked back to life when I was 36. People like me with EDS have poor wound healing, since it’s a collagen/protein disorder that affects every fiber of your entire body. So when I showed up yesterday to get my annual echo, I was surprised and disappointed to be told that I wasn’t going to be getting it done. When I had my annual echo last October, it was performed at the Irvine location. So those office girls messed up this appointment one year later, scheduling me for a follow-up visit with Wertman instead of an imaging procedure (echo). Dr. Wertman himself is great. But I don’t trust the office girls at the Irvine location. Now I’m back on their schedule for November, for the echo that was supposed to happen yesterday. I’ll be sticking to the Ladera location moving forward.

Dr Wertman is the most caring knowledgeable physician wh I had the privilege to be taken care by him in his office. Best cardiologist ever.

Doctor Wertman is a stft spoken, caring individual ,who takes the time to ask questions, looks you straight in the eye when answering them, and always asks you if you have anything else you'd like to ask . He explains, if there's something wrong with you, why there is something wrong and how it operates. I would highly recommend Dr Brett Wertman.

Dr. Mitiku was very nice and caring; professional and very thorough. I look forward to our new doctor-patient relationship. Mike Ferguson

Dr. Mitiku provided a good overview of my health and was quick to the point.

Dr. Mitiku’s office has moved further, but he is well worth the extra distance in traffic. He takes time and is very thorough. I trust my life to his expertise. The staff is always friendly, knowledgeable and professional.

I really like Dr. Mitiku. Ive been to several heart Doctors and he is one of the wisest with new technology that I have seen. His temperament is very gentle and patient, which you need when your heart is racing & you are anxious. I think he is a great guy, superb Doctor...he really knows what he is doing. I trust him and he did my Ablation Procedure on my heart, so I really rely on him and like him. GOOD GUY. Susan

Consultation about our cardio problems and treatment

The staff is pleasant and professional. I never wait long to see the doctor. Dr. Wertman is literally a lifesaver, as well as easy to talk to and able to provide feedback that is digestible for the layman. I always feel that my questions and concerns are taken seriously.

Great doctor, very concerned and talks to you as a friend.

I was called in by name, because I was “recognized “

As always, Dr. Wertman and his staff were wonderful. They are caring, kind and efficient. Dr. Wertman is one of the best doctors I have and feel I can place my trust in him completely. Thank you Dr. Wertman and staff - I appreciate everything you do for me.

A very professional managment team and Dr. Mitiku handled my first agrovated visit with him in a fashion I agree with. He was exact in his discription of my issue and provided an immediate plan to help correct my issue. Kudos to all!

Dr Nguyen is a great doctor to work with. He is also very responsive to any issues or question that come up periodically.

Dr Mitiku takes the time and explains everything in layman’s terms. Very much appreciate him

The best

Great first visit. Dr. Mitiku was very thorough, and conscientious. I could tell he cared about his patients. He covered my whole previous history and immediately ordered follow up care.

I thought I had an appointment for an echocardiogram but that wasn’t on their books when I arrived. Time was made for the test anyway. And I feel I’m in good hands with Dr.M

Excellent in every way.

Dr. Mitiku, I found your questioning lacked insightfullness but you understood my frustration. I have lacked direction and need some guidance as to how to narrow down my search for a healthy life. Hopefully you will provide that through Dr. Edward Lee, Ottolaryngologist, at St. Jo's. I've given your card to him and requested that he call you to talk about what he found in his study. I will meet with him also. Jerry Bailey

Outstanding

I felt comfortable from the minute I entered the Facility with the friendly waiting area. Once I finished my paperwork , I was brought into my room to wait for the Dr. It was a pleasure to meet him. Both the receptionist who greeted me, and the Dr .,made me feel like they were actually listening to me and my personal condition without me feeling I had to talk as fast as I could so they could move on to other priorities, as is so often the case these days. I was the priority. I would highly recommend their services.

Everything was great

Friendly, efficient, timely, and caring.

Highly satisfactory. Dr. Mitiku is outstanding in generating understanding and confidence.

Everyone made me feel very comfortable. Dr Nguyen is kind and informative

They were great. First off, I'm grateful for Dr. workman prescribing Repatha to lower my cholesterol. The statins were damaging. Had a treadmill test yesterday all went well. Thx, Jim

Great bedside manner

Punctual, professional and Competent

Very knowledgeable and fixed me up

Great attention

Very knowledgeable

Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Their watch care over me was great!

I really like Dr Wertman. I feel I am very capable hands he takes the time to listen and is always very professional. I feel he knows his stuff and orders appropriate tests and that my care is very good there

Dr Nguyen is personal, professional and has great communication skills. Very thorough in explaining everything concerning my health. Extremely trustworthy !!

The bestest thing about Dr M lbs his calming demeanor!!!

With my doctor recently retiring after 23 yrs, I met Dr. Mitiku. For being of our 1st appt, he let me know that my recent change in my medication should be checked for toxicity. Although I felt better with the recent increase, I agreed to take another test and results showed Dr. Mitiku was correct. He is highly skilled in his field.

A great doctor!

Dr. Mitiku is great. Ralph at the answering service has been challenging. He doesn’t appear to be able to call my wife’s cell. We had AT&T check it out and it doesn't seem to be her phone. As a heart patient it is not only critical to be in contact with my doctors office but for the staff to do everything to find an answer if they are not able to contact my family.

Just had a most helpful, productive meeting with Dr. Huy Nguyen, about concerns I have about my heart. Dr. Nguyen was exceptionally patient and gave me extremely helpful information and guidance. I feel complete trust that I am in his care. Thanks, Dr. Nguyen…you are truly first rate in every respect.

The doctor is the most compassionate and professional

Convenient, great facility, polite, efficient

Friendly and professional.

This was my first visit with Dr. Nguyen. He spent the time needed to answer all my questions and concerns. He was a great listener and had a great bedside manner.

Great appointment. Informative, goal oriented, focused on my health, experience, and longevity. I only wish I had gone here sooner.

Dr. Wertman, it really shows how much you care for your patients. I'm so thankful you are one of my wonderful doctors.

Awesome

Dr Wertman is a compassionate knowledgeable physician who has a magic touch. He guided me thru a very scary episode in my life with grace, skill, kindness and smarts. I’m so happy I found him and he had room for me in his practice. He is worth his weight in gold. This elder adores him.

I was treated very good

Elena, Dr Wertman’s assistant was great. Very good people skills and very knowledgeable. I like Dr Wertman’s bedside manner. He is extremely knowledgeable and spends time with his patients explaining the issues and diagnosis.

I absolutely love this office. Mirna at the front office is super sweet. Dr Wertman is awesome. He is patient and good listener.

Dr. Wertman is very knowledgeable and friendly. I am so lucky to have him as my cardiologist.

I like my physician (Doctor Wertman), he always asks the right questions. Actually look forward to office visits instead of dreading them. He’s helped me to accept my health situations and he tells me the truth. Good doctor and office staff is very nice.
