Lalitha Ananth,MD

Dr. Ananth is the BEST. I have been a patient of hers for over 7 years. Osteoarthritis of the shoulder was limiting even the simplest activities for me and it caused excruciating pain. With her treatment plan and medications I am enjoying being active with my grandchildren again. This is priceless. Her office staff is friendly and professional. Dr. Ananth and her caring ways have made my life so much better.

Dr. Ananth is the best Rheumatologist in all of Orange County. I have been to many. She improved my health 100%! She found the medication combination that was a winner for me. I would recommend her to everyone.

I like her very much. She is very compassionate, however, she is very busy.

I have been seeing Dr. Ananth for over a year now and I will never go to another Dr. She is so caring. I can tell her patients feel the same way. She also has a nurse Lori who I think is the best!!

Dr.Ananth; is a very good Dr. ive never had a Dr be so patient with me as well as careing. She spends a great deal of time getting to know me and my sickness. she works with me to find the right meds to help me with my Fibro. I love this Dr, and ill never see another. Its hard to trust but i give her my concears and she helps me resolve them before i leave. She is one heck of a Dr.when there is a long waiting time before I get to she her i remember that sometimes im the one in the room getting her FULL atention and medical help for my illness. So bottom line im saying she is worth the wait.

Amazing doctor! She has cared for me for many years for my arthritis and has been so compassionate throughout. It is rare nowadays to find a doctor that spends this much time with her patients. She is extremely patient and accommodating, and will come take care of her patients at any time of the week or weekend... She'll be my doctor as long as I live.

Dr. Ananth is extremely knowledgeable in her field. Because of this she has many patients and at times you will have very long wait times. However she will spend the time needed to solve your pain and other issues.

Doctor seems caring but office staff are extremely rude and frustrating.

This is a caring doctor but the office staff are well below office standards. On the phone I have noticed that there is a newer receptionist who is down right rude.... They also do not return calls. After three days I finally got through, then was told to call the next day and I would get worked in. The next day I was told I could not see the doctor and nobody told me to call back the following day. So, there are rude, liars working in that office. This level of care is unacceptable.

I was giving Dr Anath a second chance after seeing her in 2013. At that time her waiting room time was an hour is and my health would not allow me to sit in her tiny uncomfortable waiting room. Recently, she moved to a new office in Huntington Beach, so I thought I'd try her again. However, when I got to the office NO ONE TOLD ME, even as I was sitting in the waiting room updating my paperwork, that Dr. Anath was not there. (She was with her daughter who was delivering her baby, as she should be.) But her stand in Dr was a GENERAL PRACTICTIONER not a rheumotologist. I only found out through the course of the examination when she said, "I'm just a GP you need a rheumatologist." Can they even do that?!? Dr Anath is a good Dr but she's not worth the bait and switch and lack of common courtesy I received today!!! Again!!! Nothing has changed. Her office staff had every opportunity to tell me Dr. Anatha was not in and her replacement was NOT A RHEUMOTOLOGIST!
