Vendiola Sunnyline P, MD

I was Dr. Vendiola’s patient for many years. In that time she has shown nothing but great empathy, remarkable professionalism and superb care. She has treated my entire family, including my grandparents, parents, and siblings. Always willing to go the extra mile for her patients, Dr. V has earned our trust over her many years of service. She continuously made us feel comfortable, listened to, and well taken care of. She is a very patient doctor, exhibited in the many instances she treated my father, who was not the easiest of patients. I’ve been to other doctors who are quick to diagnose, but take little time to really get to the bottom of our concerns or to get to know the dynamics of the family/​situation. This is exactly the opposite of visits with Dr. Vendiola. From the moment you enter her consultation room, she is only there for you, however long you may need her. Her calm presence and careful explanations provide ease when dealing with difficult ailments and diagnoses.
Like others have mentioned, her management of the office and her staff could improve. I remember feeling that the wait was too long to see her. But, it’s an area of her practice that is easy to remedy. I feel that her attention to her patients caused a loss of time or a backup in her appointment schedule. I would rather wait and know that the doctor I am visiting is competent, concerned, and compassionate, than visit a doctor who cares little for the amount of time they spend with you or feel like they set a timer on their entrance to the consultation room.
All in all, I greatly appreciate all of the help Dr. V has provided to my family and myself and highly recommend her to everyone.

I totally agree with the first review. I’ve been meaning to leave a review for quite some time now but kept putting it off. It wasn’t until I started looking for a new doctor that I realized that people need to know about this doctor. The staff is not friendly at all. All the times I’ve been there, there has been no greetings or even smiles. They call your name and ask for your co-​pay. That’s it. There is no point in making an appointment because you end up waiting for 1 hour or longer to finally be seen with the doctor. No joke. Every time I have went there with an appointment, I have always waited at least an hour and I think the most was 1 hour and 45 minutes. I timed it. Not only that, the staff is really unorganized. I had left them with some papers for the doctor to fill out, I come in two days later and they totally lost the papers!!! HELLO?!! They were papers for school but if they can’t even hold onto to some simple papers, I can’t imagine what else they can lose that may be extremely important. If i can’t trust them with some lousy papers, how can I trust them with the care of my life. The doctor is nice and sounds like she knows what she’s doing but every time I have an appointment, it’s like they look for something else to make an appointment for to get business. It’s been very impersonal for me as a patient at this office. They not only wasted my time but definitely my patience. Every time I’ve called to ask about something, I’ve been put on hold and have been forgotten. I have left messages for them to call me back or have them tell me they will call me back but NEVER do! I’m honestly not exaggerating. I always give people the benefit of the doubt and gave them way too many chances than they deserve.

i have been a patient for a few years & have seen her about 5 times. so i speak from this experience. trying to call in or get someone to return a call is sometimes asking too much from this office. they will want u to make an appt to go in for everything. it’s a headache to get refills. when u actually do go in to see her she’s nice & calm. she can be helpful, although i’m not too sure how knowledgeable she is w/​broad info. she didn’t seem to understand some issues w/​medication that were pretty commonly known. i wouldn’t be treated by her for anything requiring detailed attention. be prepared to wait a long time even if you have an appt. it is very stressful to have to call in to this office, leave a message & feel like you’re receiving adequate customer service. though saying this about the way her office is run, she is a very nice person.
edit: the service and the dr. only got worse over time. dr. vendiola left and i was stuff with dr. villa. i’d have to call and leave many messages per month to get a simple refill. i had to do this all the time even though i was a patient for years. dr. villa and her staff were a nightmare that i felt i had no choice but to keep myself in. i finally switched doctors a year ago.
