Testimonials

Excellent doctor in all aspects. I recommend him very much.

I am a retired physician and have never had poorer treatment from another doctor. I was admitted to cardiac telemetry from the emergency room after suffering, a cardiac event. I had an urgent angiogram by Dr. workman. Unfortunately, I never saw him again. He never came by my hospital room after the angiogram. I was sent home by a hospitalist without a diagnosis from Dr. Wertman. I have contacted him multiple times to find out a diagnosis, prognosis and treatment plan but he refuses to speak with me.

Very Professional

Went to see Dr. Nguyen to do an echo stress test. I had an ankle injury but we were able to slowly build up to the right stress level. Dr. Nguyen and his staff were polite, professional and had good bedside manner.

Always a great experience with Dr. Nguyen

Dr. Wertman is excellent. He is incredibly knowledgeable and very kind and considerate. I appreciate that he took the time to explain what he saw and answered all my questions. Crystal and Nicole were awesome. They are professional amd highly competent, and just as important, they made me feel right at ease, explaining everything we would be doing during the tests and why we're doing it. Dr. Wertman, Nicole and Crystal are highly skilled, personable and friendly. Thank you!

Took me in early. Through visit.

Dr. Matiku is wonderful. Thorough, tells it like it is and very supportive. Highly recommend. Staff is great too. Very professional office.

Great doctor and a pleasure to talk to. Both me and my wife are patients.

Because I went thru a very comprehensive set of tests a few months ago I feel he has a good idea of my abilities. I have other physicians that I see regularly that would let me know if they felt that I needed to see my Cardiologist. My onset of memory loss is very troubling so I will try to find a way to address it. I will not hesitate to see Dr. Wertman if Im concerned about any issue that he should be aware of.

Dr. Wertman listens carefully and answers all questions. Provides alternatives as requested.

It's not my favorite thing to do but Dr. Wertman always makes me feel at ease.

Listened to my concerns as well as reviewing medical data to recommend next steps - this was a follow up appointment.

Good care would’ve given a higher rate until I got the notification of what they charge to fill out forms. Luckily I don’t need any forms to be filled out. Yikes ….

Dr listened to my concerns and reviewed my health information, proceeding to recommend and initiate changes and follow up actions. Was a follow up appointment.

Dr. Mitiku is an exceptionally knowledgeable and caring physician.

Dr Nguyen was exceptional. He was personable and more importantly professional.

He even followed up with me after doing additional research on my medications which resulted in taking me off an unnecessary one. I am a fan of Dr Nguyen

All staff were very friendly , Dr was very caring, did thorough exam .

Professional, knowledgeable and friendly!

Professional, helpful and friendly staff!

Fantastic experience and accurate Electrophysiologist- did 2 ablation and I may get Watchman transplanted too! Great doctors! Thank you

Thorough check up with me regarding heart concerns w Dr. Wertman. Toughest part is because booking an appointment with the scheduler.

I felt like Dr Wertman listened to my questions and provided tests to be done. However, based on my symptoms, I think it is dangerous to wait about 2 months to have the tests done. It worries me.

friendly, efficient, good communication

My experience with Dr. Wertman and staff is always very good. The scheduling, follow up before and after and one on one diagnoses/treatment counseling from Dr. Wertman is very positive and reassuring. I am confident in knowing that I am on a healthy track as his patient and that my continued heart health care is important to him and his staff at Coastal Cardiology.

Very good

Great

Dr mitiku is bright talented and caring

Dr Wertman seems very thorough and caring. Appointment seemed a bit rushed, but I understand the new financial constraints in medicine. My one concern is occasional difficulty in getting someone on the phone. With iPhone, I do not recognize the caller if the phone number is not in my Contacts, and your office apparently uses phone lines other than the 2446 that I have listed.

good experience with Dr. Teferi. However, i did not get the EKG or Echo test result yet. Can you send the test results to my primary care doctor (Dr. Steven Lu), please. It is very urgent that need to get clearance from my doctor as soon as possible.

Always professional, courteous and knowledgeable. I trust Dr WERTMAN.

Great Doctor and excellent Service all the time .

Dr. Wertman is always supportive and takes time to explain details.

Dr Mitiku is very personable and the staff was very patient friendly

I’ve seen multiple doctors in the past few months and was shocked to see how little bedside manner they had. It was very hard to get answers to my questions and had the feeling they just didn’t care. Dr Nguyen and his staff were the total opposite of the other visits. He took the time with me and answered my questions and understood my anxiety. I actually received a phone call directly from him to let me know the results of the test I was most worried about. I trust him and feel comfortable knowing that he cares!

Dr Huy Nguyen communicated very well my concerns

Dr. Mitiku is an excellent cardiologist and surgeon. He has a pleasant, professional manner, and he explains medical procedures and heart conditions understandably. I highly recommend him particularly for treatment of atrial fibrilation.

I particularly liked the feeling that, during our appointment, Dr. Wertman was completely focused on me and my issues. He seems like a very caring and open person.

I am extremely grateful to Dr. Teferi Mitiku.

The team was efficient and caring. I have some mobility issues and they were very helpful and sensitive to my needs.

Dr. Mitiku and his Staff are well organized and accommodating. Dr. Mitiku is thoughtful and dedicated to arriving at concrete medical solutions to ensure positive medical outcomes. Furthermore, Dr. Mitiku exhibits an exemplary ability to communicate with elderly patience in such a manner as to suggest that he genuinely cares for each patient, their family members and ensures that all questions and concerns are addressed - never letting the patient/family feel the time/commitment pressures that assuredly he personally confronts daily managing his patient/meeting schedule.

Have been seeing Dr. Nguyen for about 4 years now. Very professional along with his staff. Would highly recommend him.

I appreciate the service I received very much. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful and Dr. Mitiku was great.

Dr Mitiku is a great doctor. He listened to all my issues and questions with patience, expertise and professionalism. I am new to his practice and look forward to a long time relationship with him. John MacKenzie

All was very good

Excellent communication

Always a positive experience in this pleasant office. Only area of possible improvement is in responding to the texting system. Dr Mitiku does an excellent job of explaining conditions and what they mean. Would have made a great teacher.

A pleasure to meet Dr Mitiku - very personable - knowledgeable and very clear and to the point on his medical diagnosis and advice to me

Dr Wertman is the Best!!!

Pretty much on time, listens & you don’t feel rushed

Very friendly and efficient. Dr. Mitiku thorough and pleasant.

Great appointment

I’m very happy with Dr. Wertman, and would refer him to any friend of mine who needed a cardiologist.

Very caring and took time For all questions

Dr Wertman is an outstanding physician...in every sense...

The best

I am a new patient. I was pleasantly surprised that Dr. Wertman had read through all the paperwork I was asked to fill out. He was very easy to talk with and I'm pleased with our joint decision has to how to go forward with my Afib issues. I look forward to our next appointment.

Very caring doctor, patient , and knowledgeable. I thank him.

The best

Dr Mitiku and all staff very professional

Dr. Wertman is very kind and clear discuss any health concerns

Thorough, good listener, reassuring - very thankful to have been able to see him.

Dr Wertman is great Very thorough and comprehensive I recommend him highly Dave Sackett

Took plenty of time to explain and answered all my questions, completely confident in great hands.

Great Doctor , very relational

Dr Wertman always addresses my concerns and takes the time to hear me and suggests available options and follow ups. I appreciate his professionalism and personal touch

Good caring doctor who explains things well, not rushed. Tested to find serious heart problem prior cardiologist never bothered to look for. Credit to Apple Watch revealing chronic AFib

The Hoag "visit", top to bottom, beginning to end, check in to check out was an extraordinary experience of superbly first rate medical care. Could not have been in better hands. Dr. Mitiku and the entire staff (esp. RN Jayme) displayed superb professionalism and caring. Thank you. Norm Silvers

Dr. Mitiku helps me discuss diet and activities to improve my health instead of just giving me a prescription to cover up the underlying health problem.

Always a great conversation and welcomed guidance!

he stays updated on the latest research....listening to my input and questions.

They got me in quickly and the care is professional and efficient. Got all my questions and concerns answered to my satisfaction.

Two words come to mind “ FIRST CLASS” The Best Doctor Ever, front office and back office amazing!!!!!

Great doctor, occasionally long wait times, but no different then just about every doctor I have been too.

He explained my problem and will try to get to the bottom if it.

Several unanswered questions answered. However, several of my questions might have been better addressed to Dr. Wertman who installed the Stent. Generally, it would have been helpful for patients to understand different cardiological focuses of Dr. Wertman and Dr. Mitiku to avoid wasting their valuable time. This is especially relevant for new patients who have never had to face heart issues. Plumber vs electrician really doesn’t cut it.

Very professional and thorough. Appointment was on time

The doctor took his time, to listen, examined me and created a plan for the management of my health issues.

First appointment

My appointment was for a resting echocardiogram. I waited less than 5 minutes in the waiting room and was taken back to the exam but Crystal who expertly performed my echocardiogram. She was kind, efficient, and respectful of my personal privacy. The staff at Coastal Cardiology is always competent and helpful, and my cardiologist, Dr. Brett Wertman takes the time to review my chart and contacts me promptly. I would highly recommend this practice for any and all cardiovascular needs.

The staff and doctor are very knowledgeable, answered all my questions. I felt very comfortable with them.

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.

Amazing dr, the stuff is courteous

Cardiologist that is kind and very knowledgeable.

On time, friendly and efficient

Nice people On time appointments Always have a good experience!

Dr. Wertman was very informative and definitely showed interest in my case.

Dr Huy Nguyen went though lab test results, reviewed medications, and advised not to skip exercise and have good diets. He let me know I don’t have to do treadmill test this year. We had a good conversation.

Dr was very professional and was caring about his patients.

Five star!

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 first visit with Dr Wertman. Everyone on staff was professional. Diagnostic tests were recommended and scheduled.

This was my first appointment with Dr. Mitiku. I wanted a second opinion from my previous cardiologist. Dr. Mitiku explained my condition and an action plan in terms that could I easily could understand. He is very thorough and professional and I feel very lucky to have found him.

Gives good advice for maintaining good cardio health.

Always very professional. Dr.Wertman has been my cardiologist for several years. Excellent care. Listens to my concerns. I have full trust in his medical advice. Highly recommend this medical office.

Great experience.I am happy and satisfied that I chose Dr Wertman. I hope this relationship will help me in the future.

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.

Ver attentive

Dr WERTMAN has a very calming presence. He always fully answers my questions & never seems like he has one foot out the door (like some other Drs).

Dr. MItiku is also very kind, personable, patient and caring. His knowledge and professionalism is greatly appreciated. I am so fortunate to have such a wonderful individual as my physician.

Answered all questions in detail and with patience. I feel that we have found the right doctor

Very caring and puts time with patient

Dr Mitiku always listens and evaluates my health issues without any arrogance. He is a very experienced and knowledgeable electrophysiology specialist.

Great experience

I have been seeing Dr. Wertman now for almost 9 years and all I can say is that he is FANTASTIC!! It is nice to know that you can have a doctor who listens to you, can get to the root of the problem if there is any and let you know where you stand right off the bat. He is always direct, straight forward and extremely helpful.

As always, Dr Mitiku is on time, has great patient rapport and does a teacher-quality job of explaining what is wrong with you, including drawing diagrams (which I am saving to be framed

Dr. Wertman has great interaction with me as a patient. He is very kind, gentle, knowledgeable and very willing to listen to what I have to say. His bedside manner is superior.

Today March 23,2023 I arrived for my echocardiogram and I was pleased that Celia was just so warm and welcoming. She put me at ease and it was just a fascinating experience Watching the various components of my heart on the screen. Just amazing! How far technology has come. Then I met Jaclyn for explanation of the holter monitor. She was very kind in her explaination of how to put it on myself so hope I got it right! You have great employees. I also enjoyed your presentation at Reata Glen.

Excellent Doctor!

I did send a message on this site the first time I was asked to respond. I commented that the visit was very short. I wasn’t asked who am I or any information about my daily life now or my past.

He is very nice.he give Suggestions cool.

Excellent Dr.

Dr Mitiku is very good! However, the office support has lots of room for improvement. It’s very difficult to get answers. After multiple failed attempts at phone calls and text, I had to physically go into the office, and tharen I STILL had to follow up with more phone calls.

Always a joy to see Dr Wertman. He always ensures a pleasant and well informed visit to his offices. The staff are on top of their game.

This was a first follow up visit to Dr Wertman’s office after a heart surgery he contacted. He was always friendly and patient. He explained things in a very clear manner. All of his staff was helpful and kind.

Meet Dr Mitika for the first time. He knew most of my history before he even saw me. Explain everything that I will be going through in the next month with the tests he’s going to be doing. Very nice. Saw two different nurses in two different days both were very nice. Front desk was also very nice.

It was my first time meeting Dr. Mitiku and I thought he was very nice. I admit to being shocked that I need a new surgery, but he explained everything to me and I am happy with that. Very good experience, thanks!

Very efficient, personable and knowledgeable staff and doctor.

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.
