Vijay Koka, MD

"My mother in law was referred to this office by her primary care physician. She had to call the office multiple times to finally get an appointment. Office claimed they where calling her to make her an appointment. Finally she was given an appointment after calling herself.. The day of her appointment she was told by the staff that she could not be seen because they never received her referral and paper work from her primary care physician office. Staff super rude and unprofessional. Unwilling to try to help my mothers in-law instead turned her away and bad mouth primary care physicians office and staff. Very uncalled and unnecessary for them to do that. Now my mother in law has to wait a month to finally be seen just because of this Dr. staff pettiness!!"

"Very easy to talk to, gives explanation of medical situations in easy to understand terms. Answers any questions or concerns in an easy to understand manner.All staff are very friendly and no long wait times that are not uncommon in other doctors offices."

"I only go to doctors who listen and who care about their patients. Dr. Koka is one of those doctors. He remembers my history and discusses what is going on with me and my kidneys so that I understand it. I rarely wait longer than 5 min. The staff in the Pasadena office are easy to talk to as well and very friendly. I highly recommend any one who needs a kidney doctor to see him."

"Dr Koka is so caring. He takes his time and will answer and explain all your questions. And his staff is the most friendliest staff I have ever dealt with. They are all so sweet and kind. Always a smile. Love going there."

"The Pasadena office is amazing!!!! Dr. Koka is very thorough when you visit with him. The staff at the Pasadena office is beyond Amazing, always cheerful and most of all they go above and beyond to help you with whatever issues you may have. A special shout out to Esmeralda, I jokingly call her my personal nurse. She is the Best!!!!"
