I appreciated how clearly she explained everything to my aunt and made sure she understood her options. The office was well-organized, and the staff was professional and friendly, which made the whole visit smooth from start to finish. It's not always easy to find a doctor who combines expertise with genuine care, but Dr. Goldfarb does exactly that. Overall, I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate specialist.

I would NOT recommend Dr Goldfarb for parathyroid surgery. She performed parathyroid surgery on my…read morefamily member and first of all blatantly lied after surgery about how many parathyroids she took out. Right after surgery she said they took one "and a little bit", then in the following days tells my family member 3 were taken out. She also failed to send my family member home taking calcium after the surgery (standard procedure at the best in the country Norman Parathryroid center in Tampa, we have a family member who had parathyroid surgery here). She waited for calcium to get low and have symptoms before treating rather than trying to prevent from going low in the first place. Since then we have had nothing but issues and almost a year later now my family member is suffering from hypoparathyroidism and having to take calcium everyday to prevent symptoms of low calcium, which the internet says this is usually a result of damage caused during surgery. I am convinced she is the cause of all of this. The said she had to dig around and go almost to the spine to find one and I think she damaged something causing the patient to now have a life long issue. The endocrinologist are now saying the parathyroid may never come back and my family member may have to be on calcium for the rest of their life (risking kidney stones) or medication which is a shot every day to manage the PTH levels. On top of that, Dr Goldfarb's surgery left a huge noticeable scar on the neck of the patient. We are now questioning whether the surgery was even necessary. Prior to this, there were no symptoms no issues besides slightly high calcium and slightly elevated PTH showing up on bloodwork and now it is a daily struggle to manage and no doctor in town seems to know what is going on. Dr Goldfarb was cocky and over confident and dismissive when questions were asked about difficulties with parathyroid surgeries. She was also not proactive in working with the endocrinologist to help with these issues. I would never send anyone to this surgeon and certainly would NEVER allow her to cut my neck open. People need to be aware that parathyroid surgery isn't as simple as doctors make it out to be. I just wish my family member would have gone to UCLA or even Norman Parathyroid Center in Tampa or maybe didn't really even need the surgery to begin with but...surgeons make money off of surgery, dont they?

I've been under Dr. Friedman's care for years now. I am now forced to stop one of my thyroid medications cold turkey because of this offices negligence and lack of caring about their patients. I am documenting every attempt at communication and will be tracking any withdrawal symptoms from this abrupt medication as I have already been dealing with emotional distress trying to deal with this.

The receptionist explains Dr. Eskander is currently not taking my insurance which I find interesting, considering 99% of medical offices accept my type of insurance. I ask which insurance Dr. Eskander is accepting the receptionist explains that Dr. Eskander is not accepting any insurance at all- only cash patients. What is the point of asking which insurance I have in the first place? To be honest, I'm glad I won't be seeing a doctor with such sketchy practices.

The abstract thought of IVF was overwhelming at the start, but Dr Chavkin and her team made everything feel possible and more importantly, doable. Coming out the other side of this process, I want to shout from the rooftops how positive and seamless this all can be with the right team behind you. And speaking of teams, nurse Stephanie is invaluable. Quickly answering my messages and questions and making me feel confident in everything that was happening.

She handled me with such compassion, patience, and genuine care. Despite everything I was carrying emotionally, she still helped me achieve fantastic results, retrieving more eggs than I ever expected! What I appreciate most is how thoughtfully she tailors this process to each individual. She truly sees you as a person, not just a patient, and shapes the experience in a way that feels incredibly supportive, calming, and human. I was an anxious patient, but she always made time to answer my questions, big or small, no matter what. Dr. Chavkin's clinical staff is also phenomenal! Stephanie and Tatiana are endlessly attentive and kind. I rarely felt overwhelmed because they made every step feel easier and less intimidating. Overall, I would recommend Dr. Chavkin to anyone considering egg freezing or IVF. Not only is she an exceptional doctor, but she's also the kind of person who brings clarity, calm, and hope when you need it most.

She takes all the time you want to go over ever detail of medications, lab results, general health issues. She is very proactive when it comes to dealing with any issue that you present. The friend who referred me to Dr. Ng literally owes her life to Dr. Ng who diagnosed in very early stages cancer of her kidney, and who is now completely recovered and healthy. You can call her any time of day or night and you get HER, not her exchange. She gives you email and cell phone. The best medical treatment I have ever found. If you go to see her and engage her as your doctor, please tell her that Robert Earhart referred you. And, send me an email at earhartr@aol.com to let me know if you have any questions or how things go. You will do yourself the best favor ever to make Dr. Ng your doctor for life!

Believe the hype! Dr. Ro and her staff are incredibly warm and helpful…read more I switched from Kaiser to a PPO a few years back and found Dr. Ro through the stellar Yelp reviews. Generally, such great reviews for a doctor's office leave me a bit skeptical (my father owned a couple of medical clinics throughout his career, and my mother was an administrator, so I've been behind the scenes). However, I booked my first appointment and never looked back! They were very accommodating during the Pandemic, so my treatment, while remote, never skipped a beat. There are very good reasons she's booked so far in advance, and why so many of her patients are devoted to her practice. Finding a physician who still radiates a passion for her profession is rare these days - grueling schedules and insurance claim headaches can wear away at the most cheerful of personalities. However, in the years I spent under her care, she never lost focus on the patient, their medical treatment, and their overall experience.

We decided to get a second opinion and that decision truly saved his life. We found Dr. Michael Yeh, an outstanding surgeon who immediately gave us hope. He brought together a team of specialists, including another surgeon and an oncologist, and took on a very complex surgery during the height of the 2021 pandemic. Throughout the entire process, he and his team were incredibly professional, compassionate, and dedicated. After surgery and radiation treatment, my dad is now living a normal life. Because of Dr. Yeh and the UCLA medical team, he's been able to spend precious time with his grandchildren and continue making memories with our family. We are beyond grateful for the care and commitment we received. Thank you, Dr. Yeh and the entire UCLA team you truly made a difference in our lives.

I checked my billing balance on MyChart and I owe $0. I then contacted their billing department and they told me that there's nothing they can do and I have to talk to the debt collector. I think that is really unprofessional that 1) They never sent an email or letter about my appointment bill and 2) They are so petty that they sent a debt collector to collect a $100 that I wasn't told about. For a hospital that is non-profit, they sure try to lie and take all the money they can get. After this incident, I've decided that I will never come back to UCLA health.

Words cannot express how thankful and grateful that am I to have such an amazing Endocrinologist on my medical team. Parking: Street metered parking along Garfield Avenue next to the Pasadena Public Library ($1.25 per hour) or you can park in the building's parking lot ($8). COVID-19 Procedures: Before your appointment starts, you will call them to notify of your arrival. The front door will then be unlocked. You will be asked the basic COVID-19 questions and given a temperature check. Afterwards, you will proceed with your medical appointment. Dr. Spambalg and team adheres to all COVID-19 practices (gloves, masks, hand sanitizer and staying 6ft apart). Side Note: Dr. Spambalg is out-of-network and so, you will be paying out of pocket for the medical visits/teleconferences, but it is worth it. The good part is that your medical insurance covers the medications. Ever since I started working with Dr. Spambalg and her staff in October 2019, both my life and health has literally and drastically changed for the better. Just when I thought I had lost all hope of ever controlling my two major, chronic medical conditions, Dr. Spambalg came to the rescue. Her expertise, knowledge, guidance and compassionate care showed me the way. She has definitely made me a firm believer that I can control my two major, chronic medical conditions. As long as you put in the work and effort, you will see the results. She will provide you guidance and advice along with the right medications (adjusted as needed based on your lab work, which also helps keep you accountable). If you need additional medical help outside her expertise, she will also refer you to them as well. All medical visits and notes will also be sent to your doctor(s) to keep in them loop. Dr. Spambalg truly cares and wants you to get better. Best of all, she is very punctual, but never rush you. She will listen and address all your medical concerns before you end the session with her. If you have any further questions or inquiries, they are just a phone call away. With Dietician Joanne Lamberty, she was also caring and compassionate. With her guidance and advice, she gave me the necessary tools that I needed to learn and understand which foods were good and bad against my two major, chronic medical conditions. She also taught me how to properly count carbs and how to log in my caloric intake via MyFitnessPal app. Even though she has retired as of January 2020, as needed, Joanne will still be a phone call away. Yesenia and Valerie are also wonderful too! Both ladies are kind and professional. Yesenia is fantastic with showing you tips and tricks on how to make injections and finger pricking less painful and scary. I was terrified at first, but now, it is a normal routine for me. Valerie is also awesome with handling all the administrative aspect (appointment reminders/setups, ensuring all medical billings goes through, medication refills and lab work sent to the appropriate labs, etc). Yesenia also shares that part of the administrative work too, but she handles more of the pre-examinations before you meet with Dr. Spambalg. Overall, I highly recommend Dr. Spambalg for all your endocrinology needs. She is truly the best of the best! Once again, thank you so much to Dr. Spambalg, Joanne Lamberty, Yesenia and Valerie for all that you do! Until our next medical appointment!
