Rehana Hethumuni, MD

Extremely professional and always very helpful. Takes the time to listen to you and answer all your questions. I’ve never felt hurried with her. (Some doctor’s you feel like you’re on a timer as soon as the nurse see’s you, let alone them) Even better, she continually asks questions that go beyond why you’re there, making sure that you get the most out of every visit. Feel very fortunate to have her.

She is the best doctor I have ever had!!! She takes time, makes me feel that she truly has my best interest in mind, and remembers previous appointments. I have complete faith in her and know that she has already helped me remedy a mistake from another doctor. She is awesome!

Changing doctors. I’ve seen her probably two or three times and I feel like I just wasted my time seeing her.
Some doctors that work for health care are amazing and there’s just some that are half ass.

Dr. Hethumuni is very nice, if you can get in to see her. I regularly have to wait 2 weeks for the «first available appointment» and I have put up with it because I only need the doctor 2 or 3 times a year. I don’t like that she never schedules follow up visits to go over labs or to make sure things are working out or improving. This week I broke down and called the doctor because I have been unwell for a month now. I was told the soonest appointment was 48 days away. I asked if they were kidding. No, the doctor will be on vacation for 3 weeks. Okay there’s 21 days, she’s entitled to a vacation; but, then I need to wait an additional 27 days? They didn’t recommend another doctor I could see sooner, didn’t recommend Urgent Care, didn’t suggest things I could try in the mean time to help myself, just said you’ll be fine wait for that appointment. They’ll let me know if there is a cancellation. I just can’t understand how that is an acceptable response to a person distressed enough to call their doctor? I’m looking for a new doctor, I suspect I can get in with a new doctor in under 48 days.

Dr. Hethumuni is fantastic, she has a great bedside manner and is always spot on with her diagnosis. She’s intelligent, accurate and kind. I feel so blessed to have found her. If you’re looking for a great doctor, look no further.

She is a wonderful doctor and I miss her very much! I signed up with Covered California, and she does not accept my plan, but I am thinking of paying out of pocket just to see her again. Great facility, knowledgable staff, and she rarely kept me waiting for too long. She is very attentive, and truly takes time to listen to her patients.

I have been searching for almost two years for a new family doctor, and I have FINALLY found one I LOVE in Dr. Hethumuni. She was just fantastic all around. Her office is very nice and relaxing and the people were so friendly. I am used to doctor’s offices where I wait for 45 minutes to be seen for 5 minutes to then be then sent on my way. This was the complete opposite. I only had to wait a few minutes, and she was in my room talking with me for over 30 minutes. I never once felt rushed, and she was so knowledgable, helpful, and upbeat all at the same time. Definitely recommend!!!

I’ve spent the last four years searching for a good doctor and I finally found one. Dr. Hethumuni is a true professional: attentive, insightful, and always eager to find the right diagnosis and treatment methodology, as opposed to the most obvious. She makes herself available to her patients so that one never feels ignored or rushed. A true gem in this vast wasteland of under-​qualified and inept medical professionals, Dr. Hethumuni is a primary-​care provider you can depend upon and trust.

I love, love, love her! I have been a patient for many years. I moved to the Antelope Valley, but I will travel the 50 miles to see her. Dr. Hethumuni is thorough, always on point and she genuinely cares for you. She will answer if you call and if she happens to be with a patient, if you leave her a voicemail, she will call you back same day.
When it comes to my health and well being, I know I can always count on her!

I left Dr H, because her staff and authorization dept. are so unfriendly & very rude. They welcome you you as a #. They are only there because they have a job and forget they have jobs because of us the patients. As far as Dr H. she’s ok. there are way better. There are doctors the go by the book of an HMO and there are those who don’t care you have an HMO and treat you as a patient.

First of all, Dr. H keeps on schedule, which I appreciated much more after going for an x-​ray in the building and waiting for over an hour. I was going to make a quick call and I didn’t even have time to dial when I was called in. You get much better service by her staff in person than on the phone. I have a feeling she doesn’t always get her phone messages. I went in asking for several services on one day and she was right on it. She was genuinely concerned and expressed it kindly.

I recently went to see Dr. Hethumuni after being referred by my wife, who has been her patient for years. Dr. Hethumuni was everything my wife had praised her for. She is polite, friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and personable. She spoke to me and made me feel like a person and not just a patient. She’s my new doc and will be unless I leave Los Angeles.

Dr. Hethumuni is the best! She listens, she asks the right questions, she follows up. I get the sense she makes the most of getting the rest of the staff to help follow-​up well too. I feel better just seeing her. She gives good advice for your mental well-​being and seems pretty attuned to how your mental state may affect your physical being. I was not happy with some other doctors and switched to her. I don’t want to switch, even though I moved almost 30 miles away.

This Doc rocks!!! She takes her time with you, follows up on the phone, and is overall very very good. She even convinced me to quit smoking without ever coming across as a nag. Best of all, she takes the time to guage your mental health as well as your body’s health. I appreciate that very much. You won’t regret picking Dr. Hethumuni.
I will gladly recommend her to anyone.

First of all Rehana Minoli Hethumuni has a DO and not a MD! This should be a big tip off. I hadn’t realized it until after I was treated. My initial visit was fine. But when I came down with pneumonia and I couldn’t make an appointment for a 7 days I became a bit concerned. I went to a walk in clinic where I was put on serious RX to try and clear up my lungs up but was encouraged by the clinic to keep my appointment with my primary physician. Her office lost my appointment (even after I called to confirm) then told me «Sorry about the mix up but their hands were tied». They then told me“If I was willing to wait until every other patient was seen for the day she would be willing to see me”. I told her that I was not willing to «go to the back of the line» for one of their mix ups and saw a physician in their office who could see me right away. This tells me three things: 1) She has a very poorly run office 2) She is very difficult to make appoints with even when you are very ill and 3) She does not value my time or my patronage. I transferred to a different MD right away.

Dr. Hethumuni is amazing! I have recommended her to several of my employees and they all come back and tell me they love her, too! She really does listen and you can tell she really cares about the health of her patients. 5 stars for sure!

I’ve always been pleased with the care provided by Dr. Hethumuni. She listens to her patients, is knowledgeable, gentle, and kind. I would highly recommend her.
I was a patient of one of her colleagues, Dr. Rivas-​Plata, who I felt was lacking in his bedside manner, prior to switching to her care. I have not been disappointed with my decision.
