Reviews of Pacific Coast Healthsystems, Inc. (Psychologist)

I recently had an appointment with Dr. Gulasekaram, Bala, better known as Dr. G, associated with Pacific Coast Health Systems, located in Cerritos, California. Unfortunately, my previous physician was no longer available, and I was left to fall into the hands of Dr. G, as the only remaining appointment that was 6 weeks out. My appointment was scheduled at a certain hour, on the hour, and of course I did not want to be late-physician appointments are usually unforgiving if a patient is late! However, in this case it was Dr. G who was 50 minutes late. I was advised that Dr. G is ALWAYS running late by the secretary, which means all of his appointments get pushed back while the waiting room soon becomes like a bus terminal. When I simply voiced my disapproval to the doctor he simply replied "You can take it or leave it, or simply make another appointment for another day! What do you want to do?" Can you believe that guy??? What nerve! Like we all have that kind of time luxury. Hell, it took 6 weeks to get that appointment! To make matters worse, he only gave me a very few minutes of his time, and wrote two prescriptions that later turned out to be invalid. Neither prescription would be honored by any licensed pharmacist due to some errors on the prescriptions made by Dr. G himself. What a bonehead! I get the feeling he did so intentionally only because I had the audacity to question him about being punctual for his patients. Yet, he still billed me AND IT WAS NOT CHEAP!!! Go figure? Talk about a lack of quality care not to mention a rip-off. Well, the best I could do in kind was to file complaints with the Medical Board of California, the Better Business Bureau and formally grieve his bill of service with my health care provider. So, should you ever decide to visit Dr. G, and he is once again is running late, or screws up your superscription, do what I did. Who knows, maybe someday he just might recall his sworn professional oath from his mail-in medical degree that legally allows him to remain in practice. Respectfully,

I thought I would give this place a chance because a family member came here when they first got anxiety and said this was a good place. I was wrong, they only care about the money. I brought my bf because he has really bad anxiety and it is affecting his every day life, work, etc. But he only lasted 10 min in there just to be told he need to see a psychiatrist. There goes $120 for nothing. I already knew he needed a psychiatrist but you are suppose to see a therapist before a psychiatrist. We came here for help and to be heard about his worries and his worry about going crazy with his own thoughts but I guess someone's mental health doesn't matter.

Dr Miller is by far the best Psych Doctor I have ever had. He takes his time, he listens and he is not judgmental. He prescribes me what he believes would benefit me and he explains all side effects and reasons why he is prescribing. He's definitely a great Dr!

Place is really unprofessional, find a better doctor.

My wife has been seeing Dr. Vu for several years now, and I TOTALLY agree with the reviewer who called him the yes Ma'am doctor. This latest experience, however, needs to be publicized. My wife is suffering from swollen feet to the extent that she can't even put on a pair of shoes or walk easily. She was scheduled for an appointment and when the office manager was told that there was no way my wife could even put on a pair of shoes or walk into the office, she informed us that we needed to "pack my wife into a wheel chair and bring her in because she needs to be seen!" Outrageous! Stay away!
