Rena Ahuja, MD

I had my first appointment with Dr Ahuja who I went to specifically because she has an integrative practice. There was a thorough intake by her nurse and then I spent about 45 minutes with Dr Ahuja. We agreed it’s going to be a process to take care of my problems.
Here’s my first impression. She looks nothing like the photo on her website. Minor. Nothing bothers me more than men who don’t give women a decent handshake and women who don’t know how to give one. Her handshake, if you want to call it that, was a limp paw put in my hand. She didn’t even grasp my hand. Ok nit picking I know.
She gave me several referrals, all had horrible Unilocal and healthgrade reviews. On the other hand, she is considerably more engaged than my previous pcp who couldn’t even be bothered to call me when my cholesterol was through the roof. She is proactive with labs, (she uses West Pacific labs which is across the hall) uses specialty tests and will be giving me my first physical in forever. Hopefully as we work together we’ll get to know each other’s «ways» and I’ll get that warm fuzzy. Right now I don’t have it. But if she can figure out the complexity of my weird issues I guess that’ll be enough.

I woke up Monday morning with bad abdominal pain and in need of a doctor. I quickly searched to find a doc in my area and found Dr. Ahuja. Her office was able to squeeze me in that same day! I had to wait about 30 minutes to be seen once I got there, which wasn’t bad at all for a same day appointment. The office is very nice and the front desk staff were nice as well. I only waited in the patient room for a few minutes before the doctor came in. I felt that she was very thorough and she ordered all of the necessary tests for me. I will see her again if needed!

Dr. Ahuja is by far the best physician i’ve ever had. She genuinely cares about her patients and takes her time. I feel very comfortable talking to her and would highly recommend her to anyone.

She’s my primary care physician. Been going to her for two years and no complaints. I referred my friend and she loves her too. I have bad insurance so when they deny the bills, i pay cash and its VERY reasonable. Great availability and minimal waiting. I caught pneumonia and she saw me within an hour of me contacting the office! Front desk is super friendly and follows up with you.
Great location, labs can be done across the hall and easy to park.

Dr. Ahuja is the most amazing Doctor. I have had constant issues with what I bought was allergies for years. I was told this by several different doctors the ought the years. Dr. Ahuja was the first one to question that diagnosis, and she was completely right! I saw sent me to a socialist and within weeks I was breathing better than I had my entire life! I couldn’t believe it.
I really love her! Talking to her is like talking to an old friend that I could tell anything to. It’s great because I never feel embarrassed or nervous about talking to her about my health. She really listens to me and pays attention to what I tell her. I truly love my doctor.

Dr. Ahuja is very caring, smart, and takes the time needed to really help. She does not show the arrogance of many Doctors and staff in the area … you are treated with terrific respect by her and her team. Her office is responsive and follows through on requests. She is among the top doctors in the area.

I have looked for so long to find an internist who is integrative incorporating natural and herbal remedies for those who are open to it and is more cautious than most with medication. Her office is peaceful, attentive, responsive and kind as well. It is so difficult to find a physician who is so gifted, caring, compassionate and has a wonderful office staff as well. She is thorough and works with you. She even took the time to meet with my OMD/​Natural Medical Physician to make sure they work together effectively. She is so different than the rest. definitely ahead of the pack. I’d give her six stars if there were six to give!

Dr. Ahuja is the best!
I came in to Dr. Ahuja’s office in 2012! Not knowing what to expect, I didn’t have a primary care so I made my appointment to see the Dr. my first impression was that she was genuine and didn’t fake the funk as some might say. She truly cared about my health and gave me great tips on healthy eating. The atmosphere of her office is calm and relaxing. When scheduling an appointment rest assured that you will not wait two to three weeks to see Dr. Ahuja.

Dr Rena Ahuja is always available for her patients and shows immense concern and care for them. What I found so refreshing about Dr. Ahuja’s approach was her willingness to listen and consider all aspects of my life before deciding on a course of treatment. She was very friendly and very thorough asking about family medical history. The nurses are polite and welcoming. The office was very clean and parking was convenient. I felt very well taken care of. I highly recommend this doctor. She is also very very good about following-​up with her patients regarding any treatment plan that they are undergoing with her and NOT like one of those doctors that forget the patient once the patient leaves their office. She truly enjoys her profession and it is clear from her demeanor with her patients.

Dr Rena Ahuja is amazing — she goes out of the way to personally followup and see how the patient is responding to the treatment. I was extremely sick a few weeks back with severe cough and high fever (after I came from a long trip abroad) — her office was very helpful to give me a quick appointment given my condition. dr Ahuja gave me lot of time and worked with me for the treatment — not just prescribing medication but she also guided me on supportive treatment needed to rapidly improve my condition… Office is neat, sharp, warm and welcoming. Good and helpful office staff.
I am just so happy to have found a doctor who genuinely cares about her patients.

Dr. Ahuja is definitely a wonderful doctor. As a doctor myself, I immediately saw that she is both thorough (her patient intake forms will have you combing your
profile for histories of any conditions in your family) and also expedient. (Her staff tried to call me a dozen times to reschedule — which I appreciated! At least they had the courtesy to let me know a few days in advance!) she is Kind, thorough, and very professional. I really cannot believe she emailed and called me personally regarding my labs. Her office is neat and clean and her front office is really nice. I definitely am so happy I found her. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for a courteous doctor who — surprise surprise — has a timely and prompt schedule and… — surprise surprise — actually spends time with you! Yes, you! The patient! What’s that all about? Oh yes, that thing… That elusive thing… the patient doctor relationship. Nice!!!

Dr. Ahuja should get way more than 5 stars! We recently moved to Orange County from Indianapolis and I needed to find a new doctor. I didn’t know anyone to ask for a recommendation, so I found Dr. Ahuja on Unilocal.She is a wonderful, patient, kind, and caring person. I feel that Dr. Ahuja is a great listener and is very thorough in her time with me. She is totally professional and sharp with knowing how to diagnose and treat the root cause of problems by taking assessments, requesting labs, getting health history, and asking the patient questions. I am so completely happy with having her as my primary care physician. And a bonus, the staff in her office is the nicest you will ever meet! The office atmosphere is very inviting, clean, and beautifully decorated!

Dr. Ahuja is wonderful! She is patient, thorough and professional which is reflected in her great bedside manner. Unlike some providers, she is not quick to prescribe medication that will only mask the symptom, she will recommend natural remedies and/​or healthy lifestyle components. Her staff is great as well.

I love Dr Ajuha, she is competent, patient and warm. She made my visit extremely comfortable and made treatment decisions in partnership with me. I am glad to be under her care!

Fantastic dr. Awesome bedside manner, extremely knowledgable. Thank you Dr. Ahuja! We need more doctors like you.

After seeing several internists for my thyroid who were not open to discussing anything about supplements and discouraged me from taking them, to find Dr. Ahuja has been so refreshing. Her bedside manner is also refreshing. Dr. Ahuja is intelligent, warm and easy to talk to which is important to me. I found her also to be eager to be involved in getting down to the root of the cause of the symptoms I am experiencing. I have just begun this journey with her and am hopeful for good things to come for my health.

Dr. Rena Ahuja is the Very Best Internal Medicine Doctor I have ever had!
No Doctor gives as much time, thorough, smart, kind and nice as her! She will answer any medical question you might have and you will feel comfortable enough to ask her anything. She is so helpful, professional and takes the time to know you. Every time i see her she asks me things from the last appt. which I forgot about, she cares enough about you to remember. Great bedside manner, spends time explaining things and answering all your questions. She has saved my life being so through with all my health problems. She knows how to cure everything and calls you to see if you are ok. The office staff are very nice and I get an appt. quickly. I have never waited long in her waiting room to see her either. Before starting her private practice she was a Hospitalist at Hoag Hospital.
I would recommend her to anyone.
Dr. Ahuja is The Best Doctor In The World!
