Dr. Sisto has been the top orthopedic doctor in L.A. for a couple decades. Still the best!

Review for Dr. Sisto

Very little Doctor & Patient interaction. Brings in a double computer stand and an assistant and they both type away throughout his time in the room. No physical examination whatever was done. He asks a very few questions and shares very little information. I have noticed that more doctors seem to...

Review for Dr. Garrison

Review for Dr. Farrukh

The care we receive is excellent, while the environment is clean, professional, and welcoming. Dr. John and his staff are knowledgeable and communicate well with each other and the patients.

Review for Dr. Schoonmaker

Dr. Shawd is a SUPERIOR physician, who listened to my health concerns and treated me with the utmost respect. He did a pretty good examination, and ordered the appropriate exams and medications. I got better much faster under his care. Thank you Dr.
