    This review is long overdue, but necessary. I recently went…read morethrough my old medical files from 2015, and everything I went through with this doctor came flooding back. I was a healthy, active woman in my early 40s -- working out four times a week, eating clean, and living a balanced lifestyle. Out of nowhere, I began passing out, having heart palpitations, chest pressure, and extreme fatigue. I was in and out of the ER repeatedly for years, scared and confused, and no one could figure out what was wrong. Each time, the emergency doctors ran tests and told me to follow up with my primary doctor, Dr. Abraham Golbari. I did exactly that. But instead of compassion, concern, or real investigation, I got dismissal, arrogance, and negligence. He brushed me off repeatedly, refused to run the proper tests, and told me to "stop working out as much." For clarity -- I wasn't overdoing anything. I did normal aerobic exercise like walking or jogging one to three miles, and light weights. I wasn't on steroids or pushing beyond my limits. I was just trying to stay healthy. His physician assistant (PA) at the time -- and I'll never forget her because she was amazing -- was the only one who truly listened to me. She said, "You're too young and healthy for this. Something's wrong." She went above and beyond to get the right lab forms, contacted another office, and sent me to Quest Diagnostics for blood work. That's when the truth finally came out -- I had lupus. Negligent and Dismissive -- Please Read Before Choosing This Doctor The PA personally called me in to share the results because she was leaving his office for the same reason many others probably have: his lack of care, concern, and professionalism. Even after I received the lupus diagnosis, Dr. Golbari minimized it. He told me I'd be "fine" and just to "go see a rheumatologist." No empathy. No support. No acknowledgment that after years of suffering and uncertainty, I finally had an answer. When I asked him for an application for a temporary handicap placard -- because lupus and heart palpitations made it difficult to walk or stand for long -- he flat-out refused to give me one. He said "nothing's wrong with you." His PA quietly handed me the application on her last day before she left his office, because she knew I truly needed it. I regret not filing a formal complaint with the Medical Board of California back then. What he did wasn't even just a misdiagnosis -- he didn't diagnose me at all. He showed no interest, no urgency, and no humanity. If it hadn't been for that PA taking the initiative to run the right tests, I don't know how long I would have gone on suffering, or if I would have survived. Dr. Golbari graduated from the National University of Iran Faculty of Medicine (listed on his California license). While I believe there are many excellent international doctors, his complete disregard for my symptoms, lack of bedside manner, and refusal to act were inexcusable. Below are links to verify his license and also to check if there have been any lawsuits or filings against him. If this reaches even one person before they experience what I went through, then sharing this was worth it. Please advocate for yourself and don't let anyone dismiss your pain.

    I've been going to Dr. Kim for a while to get my yearly check ups. She's always been nice,…read morepersonable, listens and seems to know what she's talking about. Trying to get an appointment is always difficult. She is usually booked up for months so I started booking my appointment the same time every year to guarantee a spot. This year I got a call saying they cancelled this year's appointment for some reason and I'd have to call to reschedule. I called (mid November) and was told she's booked all through March of next year. Good for her that she's so popular but I haven't seen anything from her that I can't get somewhere else. I'd like a doctor I don't have to wait months for.

    I arrived at Dr Kim's office 13 minutes late. I was coming to Torrance from Long Beach and the…read moretraffic going by the port was horrible, congested with big tractor trailer trucks. I had blocked ears, impacted by earwax and could barely hear. I was in pain. I was told she could not see me and I would have to come back in one week. I asked a second time and she declined to see me. A front office ice cold person told me I could go to urgent care in Redondo Beach with no appointment. I asked again. Then I asked to see the manager, also cold. I had to tell the manager I was not in love with UCLA as an orthopedist at UCLA Santa Monica wanted to replace my right knee and it did not need to be totally replaced. I recently needed a colonoscopy and had FIVE that's 5 cancellations from UCLA. They tell everybody with huge tacky banners that UCLA is the BEST hospital in the west. Baloney. What about Stanford, UCSF, and Berkley. And Scripps. UCLA is NOT the #5 hospital in the country, no matter if US News and World Report said that once. I have been a very frequent patient of UCLA for 35 years. Probably a mistake. Dr. Kim is cold and hard with negative bedside manner. She must have gone to medical school at Rikers Island and done her residency at Sing Sing. I suggest you drive to their main campus in Westwood where you get treated with compassion, dignity and respect.

I have a PPO because I like selecting my doctors so I was weary of going to see a doctor I hadn't researched or selected. Since I feel I get amazing care with my current medical provider I decided to take her recommendation. I didn't know what to expect from my appointment with Dr. Duffin. I have a very limited understanding of what rheumotologists do. Dr, Duffin took the time to pull up my medical records on some medical record sharing software system. He went through about 5 years of my medical history asking me questions and reading over lab reports, doctor's notes and my MRI. Dr. Duffin was able to tell me what was wrong with me, what I should expect and how I can treat it. He took the time to show me things online, explain to me what he was showing me and he printed up some materials for me to take home and read. He was very patient in answering all my questions. He ordered a few more blood tests and called me on a Sunday to report the results when I called his office with a question he called me back on a weeknight at 10pm. I'm not sure if the Sunday and 10pm calls are for everyone, but I didn't mind. If you're in the market for a rheumotologist, I highly recommend Dr. Duffin!

    I have enjoyed the professional talents of Dr. Duffin for approximately 10 years and am completely…read moredelighted with his personal attention to detail upon each and every appointment. I rarely find a physician who is sympatico with my condition, issues and many physical challenges and am most appreciative of someone who is competent as well as caring. High recommend for those who are seeking assistance for Quality of Life issues and dealing with a staff who are polite, expedient and extremely helpful.
