Northridge Hospital Medical Center

I was referred to Dr. Barcohanan by my doctor. From the moment I met Dr. Barcohana I felt at ease. He is an amazing doctor. His bedside manor is second to none. He is patient and caring. On my initial visit he spent over an hour with me and my wife was on speaker. He took the time to address all of...

Admitted to Cedars Sinai Provident with a heart attack. Surgeon on call was very hesitant to operate. Dr. Lala stepped up in a serious situation and there is no question he saved my life. Professional, expert and calm under immediate pressure. This is the type of man you want on your side.

I received a timely response to my question and find Dr Khodai and her staff to be wonderful!!

This phenomenal cardiologist saved my life for a very important reason. He listens to his patients and takes all facts and history into consideration before making life altering decisions for his patients. He is calm in difficult situations where patients have extreme allergies that contribute to...

Dr. Khodai was excellent during my visit with her. I was very frustrated not being able to find a quality Physician(female) for my menopausal issues. Dr. Khodai was a referral from my PCP, she is excellent, she is a very good listener and communicator and I left her office feeling like my troubles...

This is one great Doctor! Always friendly, caring Then I had an emergency and she was there, she cared Nice to know when someone has your back.

Dr Herandez is an expert at replacement. His daily messages are so helpful and quick response is so reassuring

Dr. Safa and his staff were very good at reducing the fear and stress that came with my cancer diagnosis and radiation follow up treatments. They were always very knowledgeable and, especially, compassionate and kind. My treatments unfortunately took place at the same time as the Covid-19...

Dr Rad was the first the doctor to listen to me and figure out the problem. I had seen other surgeons before, and diagnosed me with wrong condition. I never improved until I saw Dr. Rad. I am very thankful my doctor referred me to him.

Dr Fulford delivered my firstborn. He was awesome! He wasn’t my regular OBGYN and was on shift the night I delivered. I felt comfortable and he was personable.

Very attentive, caring Dr!

Amazing doctor. Kind, professional, attentive and skillful

Dr. Dierckman and his staff have been wonderful through the course of my knee recovery. I tore my meniscus and every ligament in my knee, and he repaired everything expertly! I felt comfortable talking with him and his staff about the plan, and any questions I had were well explained and not...

I just had hip replacement with Dr Bawa. So far I am extremely happy with my progress . No cutting of major tendons ligaments etc. I am at 2 weeks, walking with a cane and feeling stronger every day! First week is rough but that is done . I highly recommend him to anyone!

I was referred to Dr. Gill in 2011 for follow up chemo after having surgery for colon cancer. All went well with that, and it was done in a very comfortable setting that your family member or friend could stay right there with you if you wanted. After that, I had follow up blood tests and visits...

Great experience, highly recommend.

Dr Auerbach is a great doctor, his bedside manner is great he made me feel comfortable before surgery and the after care has been good, I would definitely recommend to others. Also the surgery itself is healing well and it appears the scar well be barely noticeable.

They listen to your problem and work with you to fix it.

Had such an amazing 1st visit! Dr. Khodai took her time to answer all my questions and her staff was so nice!!!

She made me feel extremely comfortable, was very kind.

I am a breast cancer survivor who had a double mastectomy. Dr. Chahin was there from the start and did a fantastic job reconstructing two beautiful breasts for me. These breasts are way better than what I began with, being 66 that is saying a lot. Dr. Chahin was/is most professional explaining...

Dr. Hernandez was fantastic. In his pre-op appointment with my wife and I, he explained in detail the hip replacement surgery and recovery processes. He gave us great confidence that the surgery would be successful. His team were also excellent in advisories and reminders of all of the tasks that I...

Dr. Hernandez is direct and honest. His reputation as an excellent surgeon preceded making my appointment with him and I have not been disappointed. Everything, from pre-operative preparation information, to the day of surgery, I felt confident in his professionalism and care for the best outcome...

Dr. Gorbaty is a caring professional who takes responsibility for his patients. Even if I call him in the evening he calls back within 10-15 minutes. I truly appreciate his knowledge and know how. Warmest Regards, Laurie Saida

Dr. Heidari is very sweet and an amazing doctor. She takes her time and makes you feel comfortable. She makes sure to answer all the questions you may have. I definitely recommend Dr. Heidari!

He is truly the kindest doctor I have ever met. He really cares about your health and you as a person. I would highly reccomend him.

Very helpful

I have never felt so comfortable speaking to a Dr. before. Dr. Heidari allowed me time to ask questions and made sure I understood everything that was going on with the appointment.

My overall experience was great. Unfortunately, my surgery had to be placed on hold from March to July due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. However, once the hospital began scheduling I received a date right away. If I had any questions Jenny was there to provide answers and assisted with the clearance...

There are a few doctors who still have time to sit down and listen to their patients. I am glad doctor Khodai is one those few. Thank you again

I have already given Dr. Hernandez' information to two people in Bakersfield. He is a truly caring doctor.

I highly recommend Dr. Jaime Hernandez and his assistant Nicholas de la Motte Hurst. Excellent team work with taking me step by step through the entire process of having a total hip replacement. Mr. Nicholas de la Motte Hurst is a great listener. He answered all my questions and explained...

Dr. Eric Ferkel and the staff are very professional. I had a smooth surgery experience. Their follow up everyday is what makes me to think that they are very professional and caring. Thank you Dr. Ferkel and staff. I will highly recommend Dr. Ferkel to everyone. Thank you doctor. You are amazing.

Dr. Hernandez is not only thorough but his work is outstanding. My wife had her knee replaced by him and I had two hips replaced. All three operations were perfect. I’m not much of a fan of the medical profession but I am a huge fan of Jamie Hernandez

He is very good and caring,made me feel comfortable and at ease with my surgery..thank you

He was the best Obstetrician I've ever had! I'm sad that he is retired, but I would gladly recommend anyone to Dr. Alva. He was my favorite doctor for 25 years!

I had my hip replacement in March 2020. Dr. Bawa is extremely professional, caring, and a gifted surgeon. He has a wonderful bedside manner and was always available to answer all of my questions. Dr. Bawa's staff is Fabulous and extremely helpful and always has a smile . I highly recommend Dr Bawa.

Dr. Bahk performed a total reverse replacement of my shoulder and although it's only been two weeks, I am comfortable, the incision is neat and my swelling/overall pain level is very tolerable.

I have visited Dr. Khodai for my first prenatal visit. My first experience with her was amazing, she listened to my all questions and spent quite lot time during my visit and she was more patience answering all the questions. I wanted to continue with consulting Dr. Khodai for my entire care. But my...

Dr. Ferkel is very accommodating, he explains everything in details especially if you have any concerns. I was so happy that I made a right choice of seeing Dr. Ferkel for my surgery. He attends to your needs as possible. He is a very knowledgeable in his field.

I couldn’t be more grateful of Dr. Arnaout. I was taken to the emergency room unbearable pain after 4 days of agony trying to medicate myself. He performed an emergency procedure after some testing done. Along with his team he performed a remarkable surgery and guided me all along. His care and...

Both hips replaced by Dr Pennenberg. Wonderful, wonderful results. Walked w/o walker or cane after four days.

It has been less than two weeks since my hip replacement surgery. I am quite pleased with the care and follow up care I have received from Dr. Hernandez and his entire staff. My questions were always answered promptly and thoroughly. And my progress has been better than I could have expected! It is...

This review is long overdue, but if you're experiencing hip pain, pay a visit to Dr. Dierckman. He's an excellent surgeon. He performed arthroscopic hip surgery on me in 2018 in Los Angeles. I had hip surgery as a teen, and afterwards, spent many years in pain with multiple doctors ignoring me. Dr....

Outstanding expertise in The field of joint replacement. Patients are walking and knee and hip ROM (range of motion) is greater than any I’ve seen.

He's great. He's knowledgeable. He's fun to talk to. Easy to get along with. Concerned but not overly serious.

Dr. Niska was great. He was friendly, knowledgeable, took the time to answer all my questions,and explained everything thoroughly. He was recommended by another doctor (who I trust) and it was a great recommendation. Very happy I went to see him.

I interacted with Dr Hernandez on the day of the operation. He was direct with the information about what was going to happen. He is friendly with a sense of humor and a good bedside manner. He made me feel at ease as much as is possible before a major operation.

Follow up visit. Didn’t have to wait long like I do at other doctors office. Twice brain surgery from Dr. Liker. Fair to say he has saved my life so TWO BIG THUMBS UP!!!

Great Physician, and he is attentive to his patients, a great surgeon... Thanks for you help Dr. B

Everyone, I came in contact with was extremely friendly, comforting, easy to talk too. Made the whole experience easier.

After a bad experience with a doctor I found Doctor Brooks. I was having problems to get pregnant and he helped with that.

I consider myself extremely fortunate to have received the high level of efficient professional care from Doctor Ferkel and his proficient staff. They check on my condition on daily basis.

Dr. Heidari is great! She always tells it to me straight and provides great insight and perspective. It always feels like she genuinely cares about my well being and wants what is best for my body. Truly a fantastic doctor:)

In just 5 minutes the Dr was in full understanding of my complaint and was willing to help me and fix my right hand. I feel really good with this Dr and will let him do surgery on my hand and feel confident he will take good care of me.

Very professional and quick response to questions on the loop made this as easy as it can be. Especially during these difficult times due to the coronavirus.

Besides been a great surgeon, he is a great doctor that listens to the patient and share information that makes easier to understand the situation.

I received my radiation treatment post mastectomy and chemotherapy at Northridge Hospital's Leavey Cancer Center. My radiologist, Dr. Afshin Safa, was wonderful throughout my treatments. He took all the time needed to explain the procedure, listened to and answered all my questions. His expertise...

Dr. Dierkman and his office staff were a Godsend to me. I had surgery from another physician and had pain for a year, debilitating pain. From the moment I met Dr. Dierkman he said, “I know what is wrong with you.”I was so shocked. I had lost hope. Within one visit and surgery to correct the reason...

Dr. Salem was very professional but friendly. Explains every detail and answers all questions . Makes you feel very comfortable You feel right away that he is extremely knowledgable and very bright.

I'm a nurse and I needed to get my first routine screening colonoscopy. I really wasn't looking forward to it (does anyone?) Dr. Machicado is so personable, kind, knowledgeable and professional that it was a snap. I can't say that I'm looking forward to having another one but I certainly won't fear...

Dr. Ferkel is very impressive and thorough; talked with my daughter about procedure and follow up to recovery. Friendly personality, easy to talk with. Thank you??????

I had a total right knee replacement and the whole process went smoothly. Dr. Bawa and his entire team were exceptional. The procedure was done at TOSH and I was extremely impressed the facility, check-in, the nurses and overall care. Later this year I will need to have my left knee replaced, and...

when I actually got to talk to Dr. Kiker is was good. Talking to him post SI Joint procedure and ensuing pain, fever and problems has been impossible. Can't reach him or schedule appt for follow up.

This is my second surgery with Dr. Hernandez and once again, I can’t recommend him enough to others. His team is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable when it comes to his patients.

This visit has been really great because from check-in to being seen by Dr. Sobeck was within 10 minutes. That is excellent service. Great job.

cant be any better experience than this , highly recommended doctor , experienced , staff is amazing , clean and welcoming environment , everything on time , and happy with my results ,

I have been a patient of Dr. Liker for a while. Dr. Liker always answered my questions and my husband's. He explained everything in great deal and calmed my fears. I suffered brutal headaches, after the surgery, I haven't had one. His staff is amazing and always tolerant of me (not an easy...

I've said it before, I'll say it forever.. Dr Sisto is the absolute best!! Since 1993, I've been a loyal patient.. He fixes people.. Plain and simple. Kind, Caring, Compassionate, Empathetic and Professional With true healing hands.

From Pre-op to post-op the experience was extremely professionally, informative, truthful and optimistic. Dr.Bawa did not sugar coat or down play anything. He was right on. Thank you Dr. Bawa for taking care of me and for giving me a new knee .

I had a hernia repair procedure and a tummy tuck at the same time. The recovery at first was tough, but after the first few days it was much better. He used a medication called Exparel which helped make the area numb after surgery. The entire staff in the office and surgery center were extremely...

Dr. Khodai is always professional and caring. She knows my history and why I am there. She keeps me informed of what she is doing and why. She takes the time to answer all my questions.

Dry helpful application questions answered in a couple hours

Couldn't be happier with both Dr. Bawa and the procedure itself. Was back walking on the beach 6ndays after hip replacement, and now 3 weeks after the procedure i great.

Not good experience

I was very upset at the outcome. Very poor result. Uncaring staff from top to the bottom. Never again. Be aware.

I felt completely informed and taken care of from the very start. They have been great and continue to be out front of everything

I am really happy with Dr Salem. He listens to everything you tell him and he is very thorough and explains everything. I am happy I found him.

He has attentive staff and excellent bedside manner. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and resourceful. He listens to the concerns of patients very well. He is constantly updating the patient portal and responds to emails within a timely manner. His wait time typically is not very long...

My surgery was set during a challenging time (Covid 19), so some routine experiences were altered (joint class cancelled, visitors not allowed in surgical center with patient or during pre-op visits), but Dr. Bawa's staff was extremely efficient in handling all details of my pre- and post-op care...

Dr Arnaout is an amazing physician. He explains the procedure well and with that, it makes me feel secured and safe. His staffs, Enrique and Shaun are helpful and accommodating. Thank you Dr Arnaout!

Terrible doctor

I saw Dr. Auerbach in April 2019 for a broken pinky. I would not recommend him for patients - His bedside manners are awful which also lead into the operating room. I was fully awake during surgery and he was rude to the other nurses, putting them down, impatient for things while I’m there awake and...

I have found Dr NG to be an excellent doctor. Both she and her assistants are thorough and caring. Time is spent with you and everything is explained completely.
