Dr. Lee is a good doctor but the office is run so poorly. I have been waiting over a month for a simple referral even my insurance could not reach the office. They tell me all the time that their computers are down or they are super busy, so frustrated. Never go here

DR. Sarkar takes his practice seriously, but however his staff isn't as professional.

I will not recommend anyone to this doctor. Very unprofessional and lacks communication. Gets very hostile when being questioned. He is very rude and I’m so sorry to anyone who has to be seen by him. Please save yourself a trip and see another doctor.

Review for Dr. Kamal Bijanpour, MD
He said Ciprofloxacin is 100% safe and nobody ever had a reaction to it in his 30 years experience, and if you do that you need to see a psychiatrist. Does that sound like somebody that wants you to be safe and healthy? Cipro is black boxed for a reason, a chemotherapy fluoride antibiotic that kills...

The person at the front desk, looks very unhappy at the job. Can't even smile to greet patients, its like she doesn't even care for their well being. I suggest the Dr. finds someone else to do her job, it doesn't take a genius to answer phone calls, schedule appointments & sit patients in the room....

A horrible Doctor. He is incredibly disorganized, unresponsive. I believe he is taking advantage of his contract with San Gabriel Valley Hospital. He is so bad, I wonder where or if he received an actual degree. HORRIBLE.

I waited almost 2 hours after my appointed time, which led me to believe they double book appointments. Another patient told me "it's always like this (i.e., the long wait)." When I finally got to see the doctor, he didn't even apologize for the delay, which spoke volumes of his lack of respect for...

Dr. Ferkel is the most honest, generous, kind, professional, doctor I have ever met. I can't say enough wonderful things about this man. I went to him for a second opinion and he told me exactly who I needed for my surgeries. It was if he could read my mind. I liked the surgeon I was seeing. He...

I would NOT go to this man's office. His staff is nice to your face but they are extremely lazy and incompetent.

Dr Dokukin is a paid Dr on a utilization review board. My case came before him and he denied my Dr's medical request for an epidural and pain cream. He feels it necessary to appease his bread source rather than do the right thing as a Dr. I have had 23 epidurals over several years. They are not...
