Kaiser Permanente West Los Angeles Medical Center

I’ve been seeing Dr Rao for years now. She’s intelligent, clear, responds quickly to emails (and I emailed so. often. when first diagnosed), and she listens and believes patients about their symptoms. IMO that’s very important in a rheumatologist, because symptoms don’t just cooperatively show up on...

Dr. Millay is that rare and valued individual who has been blessed with the genius of being a common person blessed with uncommon gifts. She possesses a unique ability to display complete professionalism - all tempered with a genuine human touch of comfort, care and compassion for her patient. She’s...

Exceptional, caring, and compassionate doctor

Hmmm...whom is the person voting downward?? lmao!

He is the best in surgery. He knows what is the best procedure for you and does it. Completely trust him and so fortunate to be referred to him.

carefully reads your charts every time. actually checks your circulation by touching your legs. is on top of the latest science and implements. give definitive rules to follow. thorough. extremely quick to answer emails even after midnight. Well aware of the few shortcomings of Kaiser. helps in...

Dr. Park was courteous and attentive in listening to me and making sound advice. Thank you! Bedside manner is so important these days when it seems like sometimes time takes precedence with doctors rushing to and from patients.

Dr. S A Patterson is the BEST doctor I’ve ever encountered. She’s so loving, caring, and very concerned about her patients. She listens and always have a great master plan for my care. Once I step into her exam room.....I never feels like I’m at a doctor office she make me like I’m home. I used...

superior terrific doctor! Really compassionate and explains everything clearly. Did careful diagnosis/ successful surgery/ and excellent after care. I totally recommend Dr Hibbard

Dr Kim saved my life

Without a doubt, one of the worst doctors I've ever encountered. Absolutely do not have any trust in him. Doesn't listen, doesn't explain, and certainly does not care about his patients well-being.

Dr Kaplan is amazing! I had him with all my kids, He explains every test and exam and the pregnancy stage. He is knowledgeable, smart and not pushy. He did my 1st emergency C section and both my Vbacs afterwards ! Best OB in kaiser !

Dr. Yee is very good, patient, perceptive and a very good listener. He try’s to put himself in My shoes. I recommend him whole heartedly. Mrs. A. P.

I saw Dr. Chernis while in the hospital at Kaiser. He is really caring and wicked smart! I only wish he saw patients out of the hospital too! He listens really well and is realistic of what I can do now and what to expect for the future. He has a great positive attitude.

She is incredibly smart and experienced. Her no nonsense attitude was surprisingly reassuring. I feel like I am finally with a doctor who can help me.

Dr. Lohne would not believe me when I told her my symptoms. She said I was thinner than the average woman so I should be happy with my newly distended stomach & associated symptoms that I was trying to have treated. She insisted I was making up my symptoms and offered me laxatives or therapy for...

My visit was not so pleasant And hes also a lier Hes doesn't care about patient health I'm very disappointed

He is a great communicator.

Throughout my surgery and small bumps on the road I have been able to count on Dr. Zelada Getty’s professionalism, bedside manner, and ability to explain exactly what is happening. I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you so much’

Excellent provider, caring, confident, personal and direct. He explained everything without rushing, was considerate to my family. No significant problems except reaction to a stitch in one of the incisions. I had no unanswered questions. He saw me unscheduled on a day between procedures when I...

I am so grateful for Dr. Um and the West LA Kaiser team. He is a caring doctor and made the process smooth. His confidence in my ability to do the work really motivated me because for the 1st time, I didnt feel judged. He is a leader in what he does! The Kaiser team was kind and supportive. They...

Through Kaiser. I had him advise me to maybe stop drinking that much water and then maybe I would stop going to the bathroom so many times?!?! (for an UTI) Who says that? What kind of advice is that?!

He is an absolute nightmare! Arrogant and sarcastic beyond belief. Never been treated this poorly by a doctor. I walked away asking myself "WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED? AM I IN BIZZARRO WORLD?!?

Dr. Hines is knowledgeable, friendly, informative, just the best Ob-Gyn ever. Was her patient for 4 years, she delivered my beautiful son & kept us both healthy & happy! We moved & I haven’t found any doctors that good since. So matter-of-fact, honest, sharp, kind, and extremely smart!

Amazing doctor

I can't believe he was able to my surgery through such tiny incisions. Very speedy recovery. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Yee rid me of acute low back pain radiating down my leg and chronic neck pain. He questioned me about my symptoms and history, then suggested Pain Management as the route I may want to take. I said definitely, as I have considered surgery for the chronic pain but don't want that. He prescribed...

Dr Benton, is very informative and makes sure he answers all of your questions. Unlike other drs, he takes his time explaining optional treatments throughly. Scheduling an appointment can take several week but it’s worth it.

Dr. Brettler has been my doctor since 2014. During this time, I have been pleased with every aspect of his care. He is knowledgeable, experienced, well- read in his specialty and is always willing to share information about the latest innovations and treatment modalities with his client. The...

He was more than 30 mins late to the appointment. Otherwise he was very knowledgeable and explains through in details.

Over all a great eye doctor. Never rushes, explains everything. So nice!

He was very compassionate and listened to my symptoms, quickly found a solution.

He's the best

Seems to always be in a rush. And has zero tact talking to a female patient.

Dr. Puri spoke at a book signing here in Santa Barbara. She is an eloquent writer, teacher-- and a gift to the community, to me and my family. She truly understands.

I had a phone visit with this doctor at Kaiser, I waited for the phone appointment from the appointed time to one hour later, she did not call me. and then she closed the workflow saying I did not keep the appointment

I saw Dr. Humes for the first time today. I was thououghly pleased. He was knowledgable, explained my condition to me in terms I understood and he listened intently. I did not feel rushed and he was not glued to his computer. I would highly recommend

Dr. Kim performed a pancreatic biopsy on 2/1/19. I don’t know what happened in surgery but afterwards my throat was extremely painful. I could not swallow for (3) days without excruciating pain. The next day I looked at my throat and was horrified! The back, (R) side and top of my throat was beet...

Dissuaded me from getting the IUD I wanted but they didn't have in stock that day by using dismissive language toward the Skyla and refuting any difference between the Skyla and the Mirena in terms of hormonal dose and any difference between the Skyla and the Paragard and Mirena in terms of size,...

Dr. Patterson is the best OB/GYN and Prenatal doctor I have ever had. She is very welcoming, thorough, caring, and involved in her patient's care. I have never felt like I was simply another appointment on her schedule, but instead I've always felt like an individual that she cared for and respected...

Dr. Lu helped me in ER last night and I couldn't have felt more secure under her care. She was kind, professional, and extremely thorough, ordering a range of tests to get to the root of my problem. Then she took the time to explain the results and offer me a sensible plan of action. Dr. Lu kept...

She’s so respectful, knowledgable, non-judgmental, I feel so lucky to have her as my gyn doc! I met her when I was at the ER; her procedure was by far the least amount of pain I’ve ever experienced in Bartholin cyst abscess drainage, which tends to be pretty gruesome and painful. I’ve been so...

I just had a colonoscopy today with Dr. Gardner at Kaiser Permanente. I was very nervous and Dr. Gardner and his staff put me at ease. The colonoscopy was thorough (I watched the screen) and painless. I would highly recommend Dr. Gardner.

I get frequent migraines so I made an appointment with Dr. O'hara. He is a little quirky but a great doctor. He took the time to listen to all my symptoms and concerns. Then he did a very thorough job at explaining everything and coming up with a plan to help get them under control and scheduled...

Not a good one, unpleasant experience

Dr Mallouk listens carefully and this is critical in the patient doctor relationship. He cares about his patients and makes sure that patients know their options and the consequences of each option. He and the patient work together to decide on appropriate care. I have complete confidence in Dr...

Dr.Kivnick recently performed my open myomectomy. He is a stellar physician. He explained every part of the process and put me at ease. I felt absolutely confident with his skill level and his bedside manner. He is not only an amazing doctor, but also an amazing human being. He made me feel heard...

I saw Dr Yee today for severe back pain. I was so pleased with Dr Yee he has a great bed-side manner and made me feel comfortable even though I was hurting. Within minutes he seemed to know what was going on and explained it so that I understood. He offered a treatment to get me out of pain and I...

She is short and dismissive. After the procedure, I have not heard back from her at all. Two email, three VMs left with her staff, she still did not call back. I filed a complain with the hospital regarding zero follow up. She then called back, explained the diagnoses quickly, was very annoyed and...

Like him he listen, gives time, I like him.

I feel very fortunate to have Dr. Zoltan working at the Ashe Center. He is understanding, kind, and smart. It's great to have a quality doctor away from home. Highly recommend him

I could not have asked for a better doctor than Dr. Schorn. He did an amazing job fixing my ear by magically removing my keloids. I highly recommend him to anyone who has the same unfortunate situation as a painful keloid growth on their ear. He is amazing at what he does and he is also very...

Dr.Petrick is there to support and care for her patients just as much as she is there to treat them, and it is so refreshing!

She is not a competent doctor. She is either distracted or doesn't listen. She is by far the least competent primary care physician I have ever had. It's hard to say this, but I don't think she likes her job. Or her patients. She decides what ails you based on her prejudices and bias. Maybe she...

Dr. Pearson-Cody performed my daughter's strabismus surgery when she was five. She is fourteen now, and we have remained with Dr. Pearson-Cody. She sees both of my girls and always spends a good amount of time listening about any changes or concerns. She is patient with children and puts them at...

My 91 yr old Mom who was diagnosed with Demencia, was referred to Dr. Hibbard by her PCP for biopsy. Dr. Hibbard Talked to us in a condescending way. He told my Mom after removing the dressing from her womb in a ruff/harsh way, so ruff that she was moaning and making hurtful sounds, he didn’t even...

Dr Um is truly an amazing Dr. I was suffering for 5 years after a lapband removal that eroded in my stomach (done by Beverly hill) I could not eat without having pain, it was awful 5 years. I went to several specialist and lots of different testings they could not figure it out. Dr Um was confident...

The doctor is an emotionless robot is extremely accurate !! He does not care about the patients health, well being or emotional stress. Patients are treated as numbers both by the doctor as well as his staff. He also thinks he is "better" than you because he is a doctor. Avoid this Doctor at all...

compassionate, good knowledge, explained everything easlily, good bedside manner

I meet with this doctor years ago and requested to be tested for the BRCA gene because I am adopted. She denied me and was extremely rude. Years later I discover that my biological mother died at 40 from breast cancer and my brother had stage 3 cancer. She basically prolonged the inevitable for me...

I waited over an hour for my appointment with Dr Yesus. She was very nice and has a sympathetic manner. She recommended me for a routine screening mammogram, after which I was called back for diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound, after which I was sent for 2 biopsies. One of the biopsies came back...

DR Choi seemed annoyed by my detail of symptoms. I’ve seen her twice. No more than 10 mins given each time. Easy to talk to but maybe no time for listening.

Dr. Petrick made it very easy for me to trust her and her knowledge in medicine.

Dr. Millay has been nothing but kind and considerate. Listens, recommends and knows who I am as a patient and person allowing me to ask about my concerns and questions. Ease of scheduling urgent appointments has to do with Kaiser not showing availability. If she was in private practice I feel she...

Dr. Azizollahi is awesome! Smart, kind with excellent communication skills!!! Can't recommend him highly enough!!

Worst doctor's visit in my life. Terrible bedside manner and completely useless to boot. Even after I described the symptoms repeatedly and clearly, he had no idea what the problem was and tried to cover it up. Went to another doctor the next day and was immediately treated. An aura of incompetence...

Dr. Yu's the most compassionate physician I've NEVER met. Met him in Kaiser-WLA after suffering an epileptic seizure. At that time, my t- cell count where I was declared only having 2 weeks to live, over some 10 ago. My t-cell count is now 265, and UNDETECTABLE. Having both a great deposition &...

Absolutely NEVER responds to messages on the Kaiser website. She wants you to take time out to come into her office and pay the copay just to ask for a prescription refill or a referral. If you do email her, she’ll have some unqualified nurse respond. Never had a Kaiser doctor as uninterested in...

I just met with Dr. Higa for the first time and really liked her. She puts you at ease right away and really listens to all your concerns and question. I highly recommend her!

His knowledge,expertise and bedside manners are qualities that i most admire.Not only does he takes time to listen to your concerns but he always have an answer or solution for you.Great Dr. Thank you very much.

I had a great visit with Dr. Ho. Easy to talk to, actively listened and answered questions, thorough, and knowledgeable. He made me feel comfortable. I'd recommend him for anyone, and especially for gay men or LGBT-identifying people looking for a good doc.

Dr. Parekh treated me for bladder cancer. Completely happy with my care and would recommend him to anyone that needs an urologist. Excellent doctor!

This "physician" was the most rude and unprofessional person I have ever come into contact with. Absolutely horrid! No sense of customer service or professionalism. Terrible representation of Kaiser!

I like this Doctor. She is kind, caring, and most importantly she listens, She is never in a rush to get you out of the exam room.

Dr. Aguayo is thoughtful, meticulous and a good listener. She delivered my first child in good health despite many complications.

She said "If it's no broken there is no need to fix it" Turns out it was bells palsy. Do Not Recommend

Dr Kivnick is both intelligent and pragmatic; the best combination in a doctor or you could hope for!

Dr Kim is amazing!!!! Very good at what he does I'm so blessed to have been in the hands of such a compassionate surgeon! Thank u for giving me life again!

Having any surgery is a scary proposition but I had 100% confidence in Dr. Parek's abilities because he performed a "rotor rooter" procedure on my father about 5 years ago. As his daughter, it was weird having to see a urologist --period. A scan for a gall bladder surgery showed that I had a mass,...

Dr. Scott Um is a very intense Surgeon. His mission is to make you feel comfortable and at ease about your pending situation. He is very thorough and he listens to your concerns. He answers all of your questions straight forward. I was so Bless to have him as my Surgeon, and this was my third time...

As a UCLA student, Dr. Zoltan was my primary care provider. I saw him for multiple, pretty serious/sensitive issues throughout 2017; I was comfortable discussing all of them with him and he handled all of them well. One of the best doctors I've had at Ashe.

Terrible. Aside from getting the appointment and the other office staff, everything you can imagine in a terrible doctor was here. It was like an episode of Children’s Hospital but real. What’s worse is that it seems my review was taken down here. It was very thorough, and fair, giving high points...

Doc Lal has a great bedside manner and is generally just pleasant to be around, which is always a plus when you don't want to be in the hospital. He's knowledgeable and personable, occasionally telling stories twice or repeating recommendations, but in a familiar way. He's easy to get ahold of,...

Dr Cannom is an excellent surgeon as well as a real healer.

MY name is Frank Kohanim and I am a member of Kaiser Permanenete West Los Angeles Medical Center. On Monday March 20,2017 I had a Laparoscopic Right Hemicoletomy surgery. I was pleased with the team work of Dr. Adil Farooqui, Dr. Rebecca Cannom and Dr. Cannon Milani and their care of my operation...

AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING! I HAD A GREAT EXPERIENCE WITH DR. BARLAVI! SHE IS SUCH A GREAT DOCTOR! SHE NEVER MADE ME FEEL I WAS JUST ONE OF HER HUNDREDS OF PATIENTS. SHE IS CARING AND REALLY TAKES THE TIME TO GET TO KNOW YOU! EVREY APPOINTMENT WAS PERSONABLE. SHE IS AMAZING!!! NOT ONE BAD THING I...

Excellent surgeon with vast experience, trustworthy and courteous. I recommend him!

I am so grateful that I met Dr.Ferreira. He listen to his patients and clearly he knows his field and he is very professional. His staff and himself they are really centered on patient care and make you feel you are important to them. Very caring, smiling and pleasant, ready to help and answer any...

He's a good doctor he gets me a Co sult right away I don't have away my issues with him. He was the first one to realize I had migraines after seeing 2 previous pmd he did great I'm managing my issues great thanks to him. The last reviewer probably wants her hand held all the time. Kaiser let's you...

Fantastic doctor. Caring and intelligent, and an expert on rare inflammation conditions of the eyes.

Dr. Yesus was my mother's physician for a number of years until my mother's recent death. Despite my mother's irrevocable condition, Dr. Yesus remained thorough and positive.

Run for your life, get another doctor.

I had my surgery 3/9/2017 Dr. Um and his staff was just amazing. They made me feel comfortable and help me get through my nervousness by keeping me informed about everything that was going on. My surgery was a success I want to thank Dr. Um and his staff.

I feel lucky to have him as my doctor every time I leave his office. He remembers all past problems and he is able to convey complicated "medicaleese" in understandable English. At 75 years old I can say, without hesitation, he is the best doctor I have ever encountered! Dr Gerald J Bender

I first met Dr Lal when going into urgent care for a minor illness. He was very responsive and had a wonderful bedside manner. He was my primary physician since then and the best one I've ever had. He's patient, truly does care,m - simply the best!! I have since moved and not close enough to have...
