I love Dr. Sitnitsky so much. I can definitely say she is not for everyone, but that's because a…read morelot of people have this mentality that a doctor or service worker, or whoever else should behave in a way that they deem as the standard. I think people forget that we're all human beings and thus we can all act differently. Personally I care less about someone being a buttoned up professional, especially now that I've met her. She is quick and talks fast. Sometimes I would end up waiting longer to see her than my appointment itself in the beginning which annoyed me at first, but I don't leave feeling like I didn't get enough out of her and that's what's important. She is very warm and personable, remembers things about my personal life and shows genuine care. She has not only helped me lose weight but has gone out of her way to maximize my results and tailor everything to my needs, and in a way that I don't feel things are being "sold" to me. On the contrary, she has gone out of her way to get more affordable options for me. She is as much my hype person as she is my doctor. I've lost 40 lbs healthily under her care since October and don't plan on stopping anytime soon. All of the Avita MD staff from the front desk to nurses are all very kind too. This has been my favorite medical practice group so far.

They book a "meet and greet" session for new patients. I asked them 4-5 times before the appointment, how much it will cost after giving all my insurance info. All of their team assured me that it will be 0$ co-pay for me as it is only a meet and greet where Dr. will just get to know you. Guess what, they billed my insurance 700$ after the appointment, out of which they are asking me to pay 300$. This is a scam. And the Dr. did nothing in this appointment, no advice/tests nothing, other than me sharing about my medical history and past test results and my concerns. I got to know that there are California laws against this, I will be filing a legal complaint Update: I called their billing office as Dr suggested in his response and told them I'd report them to the medical board. They said they will file the claim with insurance with a different code to see if they can bring the cost lower. You know what they did instead? They sent the bill to collections immediately. No warning, no attempt to resolve, no accountability. Just pure, disgusting greed and lies in every interaction. This place runs on lies, shady billing tactics, and a complete lack of ethics. And if you dare to speak up, they'll come after you. Because that is their business to suck up on your hard earned money $325 isn't going to ruin me -- but this kind of disgusting thug behavior is what unfortunately defames entire healthcare.

Across the rooms she shouts "what are you hoping to be seen for?" As if I'm comfortable shouting across the room and disclosing my personal matters with another patient sitting there.

She then proceeded to tell me she thinks I should go somewhere else if I'm uncomfortable. I asked for her name and she refused to give it to me. Extremely unprofessional for customer service in a health care facility.

I had slipped and fallen on my knee hard that it split opened requiring stitches. The PA even said she could see the tendon. Making the appt was very easy that I was able to schedule an appt within an hour of my accident. When I arrived, I was greeted by the receptionist. She was very professional, no complaints at all. The nurse assistant was very pleasant as well. Took my vitals and gingerly cleaned my opened wound and said I was overdue for a tetenus. Nurse practitioner came in and she was very pleasant from the get-go. As she was stitching me up, we had similar funny stories to share that we both laughed and it really made time go fast and she did a really nice job. Another nurse assistant came in and gave me my tetanus shot and he, too, was pleasant and professional. I didn't really have to wait long to see the nurse assistant and then the nurse practitioner. I was probably there about 45-60 min in total, pretty fast considering they had to take my vitals, stitch me up and then give me the tetanus shot. I had a very pleasant experience. Everyone I met was very professional, kind, caring and most of all, my wait time was very minimal. Everything went smoothly which you would think would be the opposite on Friday the 13th (superstitious day). I *highly* recommend this facility. Environment was clean and tidy, and everyone was pleasant and extremely professional and caring.

I was excited to take charge of my healthcare and find a PCP who would be invested in my health at this stage of my life. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. The doctor had little to no bedside manner. After our first appointment, I assumed she might have been having a difficult day, but the same pattern continued at nearly every visit. Appointments were typically very brief--often only 3-4 minutes. I was usually greeted without a smile, received short answers to my questions, and rarely got explanations about my care or treatment options. Visits often ended abruptly with, "We're all done here." I also felt that my interest in preventive healthcare was dismissed rather than encouraged. It seemed as though concerns were only taken seriously if they were severe or urgent, rather than focusing on maintaining long-term health and wellness. I understand that primary care physicians have demanding schedules and many patients to see each day. However, healthcare is a service that patients pay for and rely on. Patients deserve to feel heard, respected, and involved in decisions about their care. In my experience, there was very little effort to provide a positive patient experience or build a doctor-patient relationship. Overall, I found the interactions unfriendly, uncomfortable, impersonal, and unprofessional. She seems checked out. I know this doctor has many positive reviews, but it appears that much of her patient base may consist of older adults or patients with more serious medical conditions. Based on my experience, I would not recommend her to younger adults seeking a primary care physician for long-term, preventive-focused care.

You know, because you can have about the same cholesterol levels for 10+ years, and then have it nearly double in 3 months, and that's just age. She repeated this several times throughout the appointment and showed no curiosity at all as to whether something other than age might have caused it. She appears to be checked out of this job.

Dr. Liza Shiff is more than just a capable, patient, and caring doctor. She is a true PARTNER to…read moreher patients. I have been seeing Dr. Shiff since 2006 with a short break for about 2 years. What impresses me the most is that she is ALWAYS up to date on the latest medical news, facts, and studies. She is technically savvy and she texts and emails regularly which makes her super-responsive. She actually sends you articles and studies she finds that may relate to your issues. This woman cares 24/7! In July 2014 I was finally diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (high hereditary risk) I was overweight, my a1C was over 6 and my resting blood glucose level was 180 and I had high blood pressure. Dr Shiff told it to me straight, put me on a plan and referred me to some amazing specialists. Her belief in my ability to correct my behavior and truly change my lifestyle, combined with her wonderfully real tips and guidance, inspired me to really do what she asked of me. 6 months later I had lost 45 pounds through a nutritionist that Dr. Shiff recommended, brought my a1C down over a full point, and brought my resting glucose reading to 116! I no longer struggle with high blood pressure and I feel amazing. Dr Shiff was there every step of the way with encouragement, check-ins, and regular support. Even just a quick "how are you doing" text kept me accountable and made me truly know that she cared. Her general demeanor and who she is as a person makes her The Best doctor I have ever been to - on either coasts! I hope she stays in practice for a very long time as I can't imagine any other doctor caring as much as she does. I wish everyone in this country could have access to a doctor like Dr. Shiff because everyone deserves a doctor like her. Also, she always has the best referrals and I would go to her for her referral opinions alone. I love Dr. Shiff and you will too!!!

Dr. Sims has been my primary care physician for at least 5 years and I could not be happier…read more I recognize that many physicians are smart but Dr. Sims has almost encyclopedic knowledge on a wide variety of topics. He's well-read on the latest academic research and has incorporated many modern techniques in his practice. Unlike other physicians, Dr. Sims isn't over-reliant on prescribing medicine. He considers diet, vitamins and even lifestyle. Dr. Sims doesn't have a warm outgoing personality but don't think that means that he doesn't care. He spends a lot of time with you -- more than any other doctor I've ever gone to -- asking questions to better understand your situation and answering any concerns you might have. No matter how small your issue is, Dr. Sims will stay to talk to you about it. Since he moved into his new offices, Dr, Sims has continuously expanded the services you can get in his practice. Recently I got a blood draw on site and there's a dietitian on staff. Once per month, you can even get an ultrasound on your neck to check the plaque in your carotid arteries. However to me, the most amazing thing is that I can almost always get an appointment on the same day if something urgent comes up. Dr. Sims even works on Saturdays. There aren't many doctors left like him.
