I have a congenital heart condition, that Dr. Llurii has been monitoring for a few years. He is kind, patient and very thorough. He explains everything in detail, is never rude or patronizing. He really cares, and his staff is also fantastic. I am so grateful to have Dr. Lluri as my physician.

Review for Dr. Gold

LA Bone and Joint doctor we were stuck with from our HMO group. I can give Ardavan for having little to no personality and giving the vibe like he was in misery serving patients at the Clinic. However, what bothered me the most was he provided little examination and no questioning about my issues....

Review for Dr. Saadat

I've been seeing Dr. Garon for about a year now for NSCLC. He takes the time to answer my questions, he doesn't make me feel rushed, I follow up with questions via the portal and when he doesn't respond his NP follows up.

Review for Dr. Garon
