Dr. Pingfeng Du

Dr. Du remains an outstanding clinician, but his front-office staff badly undermines the quality of care. My recent email exchange about the validity of a simple lab order turned into a maze of curt, contradictory, and ultimately unhelpful replies. What should have been resolved in one clear response was instead dragged out, below is just one example. If this is how they handle a straightforward request from me, I can only imagine how confusing and exhausting the process must be for their many elderly patients. Poorly trained staff who can't--or won't--provide direct, timely answers create more than inconvenience; they create health risks. Seniors often have limited energy, mobility, and support systems. For them, every unnecessary trip to a lab or pharmacy is a real burden. Dr. Du, please intervene. Your patients deserve front-office personnel who are as professional and respectful as you are. Until that happens, the most vulnerable members of your practice remain at risk.

Dr. Du is absolutely, hands down the best cardiologist ever! I was initially referred to him by my internal medicine doctor who said "if I ever need a Cardiologist, Dr. Du is the one I would use. He is the best in the area and likely one of the best Cardiologists in the state of California!". First his bedside manner is so caring. He listens to you, he's extremely thorough and you can count on him to always "tell you like it is"! He is great at following up and his staff is equally as good with following through with any directions or instructions from Dr. Du. He has been the cardiologist for not only myself but also my 90 year old mother. He has been especially gentle and caring with her. Can't ask for anyone better. I left the state when I retired and moved to the East Coast. There are good providers here but as good as they are, I still miss Dr Du! He's the one folks. If you're looking for the best, don't look any further. Trust me, you've already found it!

Dr. Du goes above and beyond in caring for his patients. During an unexpected emergency episode, Dr. Du, though technically on vacation himself, even made arrangements for my husband through a colleague, and we believe it helped save my husband's life. He and the team he has built practice with the highest culture of respect for patients and with a holistic understanding of how cardiac care can interact with other aspects of the patient's and family's well-being.

Dr Du is an expert cardiologist and eart/lung diagnostician. His demeanor is very patient and pofessional. Dr Du is an expert on all facets of heart and lung function. He clearly explains your treatment options, yet allows patients to make their own decisions.
