Completely satisfied with their service. Been there one time and can tell they are professionals!

This is by far the best urology practice I've ever experienced, and, at 75, I've seen a lot of them. On my first appointment, they did an array of tests in the office that would have taken me to practices all over Manhattan, which is known for first-rate health care but where you can spend weeks setting up appointments, waiting for reports, etc. I also found the range of treatment options at Comprehensive Urology to be far more advanced than I had been offered in New York. The doctors, nurses, and technicians are busy but for the best of reasons: When you're concerned about something as critical as the potential for prostate cancer, this is definitely the place to go. read more

I feel very fortunate to have found Dr. Rosen. He listens to all my concerns patiently and with utmost respect. He's very comforting and thorough with his consultations, and I never feel rushed through my Dr appointments. The lab tests he's ordered and treatments he's recommended have worked wonders for me, as I was previously struggling in pain. Fazel Ali read more

Don't see result after visiting this office, looks like mistreatments and totally inappropriate approach to diagnoses.

Fraudulent charges. They charged things to my insurance that I didn't even need. Then my insurance didn't even cover it and I had to pay for it. Very shady doctors here. read more

Dr. Christina Palmer is a Gem. She hears and listens to you. She takes time with you and gives great advice for treatment with alternatives . It's refreshing to have a doctor that's not (at least doesn't make you feel) like they are on a time schedule. She's very grounded and real. That's worth a lot. I got lucky by being referred to Dr. Christina Jeff Frazin Sherman Oaks read more

Dr. Christina Palmer is worth her weight in DIAMONDS! She is by far the most attentive and straight forward doctor I've seen in YEARS! This is a very busy office but she took the time to really speak with me. She shares the same holistic ideas when it comes to health and well being. I LOVE THAT! She's got a wonderful bedside manner and awesome sense of humor! She's the type of doctor the medical field should be filled with. Thank you Dr. Palmer, and your WONDERFUL staff of sweet ladies that were also a great help to all of us in the waiting room. This office represents the meaning of "HEALTH CARE"! read more

Dr. Kia Michael is one of the kind in the whole city of los angeles, we have been to so many doctors for my father in-law overactive bladder problem and he has been through 2 surgeries with no success. So my wife found Dr. kia by searching so hard for the good doctor online. He was our last shot and hope. God bless him he made it happen and did the botox prosedure in very easy process and since then the problem was gone. We truly appreciate his help, kind heart and very caring personality and the most important his experty. We love you doctor you will be in our heart and the best referal to who ever needs your help. God bless you and your family. read more

This review is for Dr. Christina Palmer. I have seen many in the doctors in the past but none have been as thorough and empathetic to me not only as a patient but as a person. She is extremely kind and knowledgeable. Highly recommended. read more

Positive experience with the doctor, wait times are horrible though and staff could be better trained. Front desk staff is the first impression so its of utmost importance they greet patients. Staff should also avoid double and triple booking appointments because while wait times are normal it shouldn't take one hour to see the doctor (appointment at 2, saw doctor at 3, and I was at the office at 1:45). read more

This place is a godsend! Dr. Michel was recommended to me by a friend, after I double checked his yelp/healthcare ratings I decided that he was indeed the doctor for me. I've had to deal with a uti for almost 3 months. I've been in and out of free walk-in clinics, seen a gyno and let me tell you, not all doctors are created equal. I don't have health insurance so I've been putting off going, trying to manage on my own etc., but when I landed myself in the ER due to bleeding/extreme pain/loss of bladder control, I realized that if I had just addressed the situation in the beginning with a real doctor I wouldn't be in this mess. The staff was absolutely amazing as well, and I didn't even have an appointment. The receptionist I called was very nice and understanding when I told her I was in the ER all the night before and she agreed that I had to be seen immediately. She told me to just come in and they'd fit me in somewhere. She explained I might have to wait and bear with them for a while, but eventually they called me in. And it wasn't a quick, in-and-out, I don't have time for you, appointment. I was seen and listened to, Dr. Michel didn't rush me, he treated me like an actual patient, who was in need of his care. He took me seriously, unlike my gyno who kept brushing me off. And he gave me a good deal as well. He was aware that I had no insurance. After all I'm only 22, just finished my undergrad, getting ready to take my mcat, and am currently unemployed living with my brother. He helped knock the bill down, but at the same time he didn't skimp on the examination. I got ultrasounds, physical exams, the works. He was very thorough! He really cared! I don't know how to stress that enough, he was genuinely interested in making sure that I got better! He listened to me and didn't discredit my discomfort. That in particular was very important to me, because I had to harass my gyno for 3 weeks, literally crying to her, and she still didn't take me seriously. I just started an new antibiotic regimen, and although I'm not better yet, I feel good knowing that even if this particular course of antibiotics doesn't work I have a doctor who will work hard to figure it out and help me get back to normal. read more

Dr. Rosen and his team are very professional. They were very accommodating and made sure you were in great hands.

Good Dr but like all Dr's now an appointment takes forever.. Blame the system not the individual office.. I am not sure what is wrong but it needs fixing. All that aside he is my go to guy lol read more

Dr. Kiarash Michel is an excellent urologist and his team is great. My brother Ashot Makaryan has been going to him for many years. He is very pleased with the doctor's professionalism and bedside manners. Recently he had prostate biopsy and was very satisfied with the whole procedure. We highly recommend Dr. Michel. read more

Dr. Rosen was fantastic - very friendly and professional. The staff is phenomenal and very accommodating. Great experience overall!

Had a phone appointment and never recieved a call back. First time I went and waited an hour and a half.

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and had seen several urologists who could only offer active surveillance or robotic surgery (total removal of the prostate). However, I didn't want to lose my sexual function or urinary control. I was finally referred to Dr. Kia Michel, who is not only a leading robotic surgeon, but also one of the most experienced HIFU experts in the country. After meeting with him, I realized I could undergo focal therapy (treat my cancer without unnecessarily treating my healthy prostrate tissue), which means that I would have the best chance of maintaining my normal sexual function and urinary control while treating while cancer. The treatment was very easy. It was an outpatient treatment. I went home the same day and within a day I was back to my normal self. I am now cancer free, and fully functional in all departments. Thank you Dr. Michel and Comprehensive Urology for all of your outstanding care!!!! read more

Dr. Michel deserves, in my book, more than five stars in all areas that you would want in your physician, from his expertise in his field of medicine, his patience in explaining everything to you in layman's terms, his bedside manner and his true desire to help correct your medical problems. You always feel that he'll spend as much time with you during your appointment until all your questions are answered. When he explains what he feels is the best "plan of attack" you have the confidence in him to know that you're in the best of hands. His office staff is also wonderful. And Eva is always there to help out with any and all questions. Dr. Michel sets the bar high for all other physicians. read more

A+++ experience. I was extremely nervous coming in for my appointment. However, I was greeted by a very professional and friendly staff which helped calm me down. Dr. Rosen had a great bed side manner and was very patient with me. He explained everything and answered all my questions and was not rushing through the appointment like some doctors do. I strongly recommend him and his office. Thanks again Dr. Rosen and staff. read more

If you like being insulted in a joking sort of way by a pompous ass who laughs about how rich he is and what a loser you are, this man is for you. He asked me what I did for a living and when I told him (it was in the arts) he snapped back at me that every parent prays their child doesn't become what I am! Then the 'procedure' ( removing a stone from my bladder) was rougher than he expected and he admitted to scratching the hell out of the inside of my bladder. Weeks of unbearable pain and NO pain medication because he saw the Musicians Union Logo on my shirt, (I am a classical violinist) stared at it and said, "no more drugs for you, you're scary. Take a Tylenol" while I was peeing blood and scabs for weeks. Then he told me to drink lots of water but not bottled water, tap water. Yeah, he thinks that's all that non-doctors can afford. Avoid this guy unless you want an a-hole up your a-hole. F for bedside manner, D for procedure, and F for post-op treatment. read more

Dr. Akhavien is one the best physicians I have ever encountered. Over the years I have experienced reoccurring and complex issues that have been difficult to resolve. Dr. Akhavien, after asking excellent questions, listening to my personal history, and careful consideration of my test results, was able to accurately diagnose my issue immediately. He patiently explained a comprehensive and phased plan of action for resolution. He is an excellent listener, extremely intelligent and very personable. Dr. Akhavien is also very empathetic, with a positive and good-natured approach, and made me feel very comfortable with his diagnosis and plan of action. The results thus far have exceeded my expectations. The attending nurse, Carol, was also very congenial and highly skilled with blood draw. I highly recommend Dr. Akhavien. read more

We found this doctor through the ER at Cedars and are we glad. This is our first serious medical issue for my husband and Dr Akavien and his staff has been amazing every step of the way answering all of silly questions and returning all of our calls, even on the weekends read more

After meeting with several urologists, Dr. Akhavein was the only one that understood the type of procedure/surgery that I wanted and needed. The procedure that Dr. Akhavein performed normally takes one hour. But due to a specific request that I made, the procedure took longer than normal, approximately three hours. Well, because of Dr. Akhaveins patience, knowledge and willingness to honor my request, the procedure went extremely well. I am 100% satisfied. Without a doubt, Dr. Akhavein is the best urologist I've had the pleasure of meeting. Here are some additional benefits for choosing Dr. Akhavein as your urologist: 1. No ego. 2. Great listener. 3. Very humorous. 4. Very nice and kind. 5. Sincerely cares about you. read more

You will wait a long time to see the doctor. then you probably will not see him for more than 30 seconds. It is all students and one of them pretended to be Dr. Kia and asked leading questions so that they could use me as a test subject for a horrid procedure that failed and then tried to put me on experimental drugs with bad side effects! He gave me CALCIUM pills to help me sleep when I had gone in for kidney stones! WTF? If you want to lose control of your facilities to an embarrassing degree, this is the office for you. They refused to give up my medical records for a few years. Awful experience! Go anywhere else. UCLA is nice. read more

When I entered the waiting room I was expecting my experience here to be a nightmare but it was the exact opposite. Everyone was so nice and the doctors were incredibly helpful. I would strongly recommend this practice to anyone looking for a great urologist read more

Dr. Kia Michel is amazing!!!! his sense of humor and kindly words will give hope to any patient. We are here in his office for my father Edwin K. For his second botox procedure. It absolutely works and we are so happy to find Dr. Kia. Highly recommend him to anyone who needs help just go and visit him with confidence and you will be amazed. We love you so much Dr. and god bless you and your family. read more

The doctors are highly educated and friendly. The doctor sat down with us and spent a good amount of time listening to us.

I have been so incredibly impressed with the Surgical Scheduling Coordinator - Eva. She is efficient - and extremely good at keeping you up to date on the process. I have never seen someone so incredibly good at her job. And she truly cares about you and will do her best to make things work with your insurance company. Thank you Eva! read more

A family member was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. We had met with several urologists. A friend of mine recommended that I speak with Dr. Michel before making any decisions. Dr. Michel's staff was very helpful in getting us an appointment expediently. When we met Dr. Michel, were very impressed by his knowledge base and the number of different options that he provided us including robotic surgery as well as HIFU. Ultimately we decided to proceed with Dr. Michel. My Family member ended up choosing HIFU as his treatment. I'm glad to tell you that the procedure went very well. He is now cancer free and his sexual and urinary functions are working perfectly!! Thank you Dr. Michel!! Thank you Comprehensive Urology. I could not recommend Dr. Michel highly enough. He is outstanding (and so is his staff). read more

I'd give this place one star if it wasn't for the fact that I actually like Dr. Sanford. They need to replace Diana; She's really rude and lacks basic customer service skills. Also, the billing department made a mistake and apparently "accidentally" added another patient's procedure to my account. If I had not contacted them to clear this up I would have paid an extra $900+ for no reason. Get your stuff together guys. read more

Dr Arash Akhavein is by far the nicest urologists I have ever been too (and I have been to A LOT). He took the time to listen to my entire history and took the time to explain everything. He made me feel welcome which is rare in the medical industry. Thank you, I found my new primary urologist. read more

Horrible place! Waited almost 2 hours to be seen just to spend no more than 5 minutes with a cold and uncaring doctor. Also the parking was horrible and the receptionist was rude. read more

Well I had my 1st Thermiva session and man what a difference. I had been suffering from OAB and didn't like the pills that were prescribed. A friend of mine suggested I go see his urologist Dr Kia Michel. Dr. Michel who's very nice, suggested Thermiva, among other things. After reading up on it, I said I'd give it a try, but I wasn't expecting to notice anything right away if at all. Prior to the treatment I had a strong urge to go, but wanted to wait until after the session. After the session was over the urge was gone. And in the days following I didn't have any uncontrollable urges. This treatment really works. I would not be able to explain how it works, I just know that it does. Dr. Michel has very pleasant and efficient staff. And Wendy the nurse that assisted me is a God send. She reasures you, put's you at ease and makes you feel very comfortable in what could easily be an awkward situation. If you're thinking of having Termiva go see Dr. Kia Michel. read more

I have heard that some of the doctors here are very good, such as Dr Michel. I have been trying to get in with a good doctor but everyone is booked 6 weeks out. So I went with a junior clinician at this practice and I had to write a word of warning: DO NOT SEE DR AKHAVEIN. He is condescending and uncaring. He seems as if he has Aspergers. Horrible bedside manner and seems to be not that bright intellectually. I walked out on our appointment--it was that bad. I have never done that in my life. He wasn't listening to anything I said and even though I am in pain and need help asap, it wasn't worth trying to connect and get care from someone so disconnected. I just made an appointment with Dr Pompa on Camden. He could take me next day and his reviews online are positive. read more

I am a patient of Dr. Desai. Within a few weeks after I was diagnosed with Renal Cell Carcinoma he had the tumor removed from my kidney. He used the high-tec da Vinci robot for my procedure. One year later I remain cancer free. No radiation or chemotherapy, he got it all the first time. He also follows up with a purpose, having me CT scanned every six months. He gave me my life back. Dr. Desai comes with my highest recommendation. read more

My husband was referred to Dr. Michel by his internist. Dr. Michel is one of the best doctors I have ever met. He not only dealt with my husband amazingly, he did all the appropriate tests, recommended a procedure, did the procedure and gave us the wonderful result in a very efficient, professional and pleasant. Way. Dr. Michel is the calmest, most professional, nicest, knowledgeable, and it doesn't hurt that he is nice to look at, doctor I have ever been to. My husband had a second opinion but decided to go with Dr. Michel which was the best choice. I would highly recommend Dr. Michel to anyone needing an urologist. I would like to add that his office staff was equally nice, professional, efficient, knowledgeable, pleasant and very accomodating as was his surgical staff. All around, a great experience for us and everyone in his office that we came in contact with last month. Thank you all again. read more

Dr. Kia Michel and his staff are the best their is. Saved my Life..

Comprehensive Urology has a great staff and Dr. Robert Sanford is a very experienced and knowledgeable doctor. Great sense of humor and always gives you a straight answer. I highly recommend him and everyone there. read more

I was medical treated at a different medical facility in Pasadena for three years. I always had a Urinary tract infection . I did all the test ct scan , ultrasound ,scope and regular xray over at the Pasadena facility, so in December at my appointment with Doctor he said he did not know what was going on with me and the next appointment was to discuss explore surgery. That all I need to hear andI wanted a second opinion so I look online and called Comprehensive Urology . I set up appointment but mind I was very depressed and really did not know what to expect. They gave appointment with Dr Christina Palmer. She is so energetic and had a positive attitude. We did the ultrasound and other test and within I swear hour and half she came in the room and say "I know what's wrong with you.". Those words made me so happy . So set date for surgery and now 3 weeks later. I'm just like a teenager again , no pain , no infections and sexual can function better than before. Dr. Palmer is my superhero . I can thank her enough thank you john read more

If you want your loved one to be misdiagnosed and pass away this is the perfect place to be. Initially we were refered by a friend to see Dr Sanford. When I called it was told that the evaluation would cost $250 to be seen by Dr. Sanford. My father had prostate cancer and his oncologists treatments were very effective and all of the sudden he started to urinate blood and went to 2 hospitals and they were not able to find the cause of the bleeding. When we arrived we were escorted to the patient room and another Urologist showed up by the name of Michel Kiarash. He asked some questions, performed a couple of exams and said that he had an infection. Prescribed antibiotics and on our way out slapped us with a surprise charge of $700. This was in April 2016. Later on we visited another urologist and they found a massive stone in his bladder and his kidneys started to fail. They removed the bladder stone then in May my father died from Kidney Failure because Comprehensive Urology Medical Group especially Dr. Michel was not able to diagnose him and when another doctor figured it out it was too late. Today, 06/14/2016 after all that hardship and grieving this office had the audacity to send me another bill for $40.00 when I paid everything they asked for the same day of the evaluation. read more
