I was only referred to Dr Fittingoff because it was just my luck that his colleague (who I was…read moresupposed to see), had died the day before I called for an appointment. He would be my sixth endocrinologist since my T1D diagnosis, so I was already used to the "shame game" that I know all diabetics feel at some point. Right off the bat, he questioned how I was prescribed Ozempic. Umm, one look at my medical history, chart, and labs, would have answered your question, bro. At the next appointment when discussing why my BG was spiking after dinner, his medical advice to me was "You can always eat less." You don't say? Gosh I hadn't thought of that?! This guy reminded me of that old dinosaur tv host guy in Mrs. Doubtfire and needs to retire. Luckily he stopped taking my insurance. Not to mention the drive to his office from Burbank was brutal. See anyone else if you can.

He didn't rush me at all -- we spent a full 45+ minutes together, and he made sure I understood everything. He listened carefully to my concerns, asked thoughtful follow-up questions, and never made me feel like I was just another appointment on the schedule. That level of patience and presence is so rare these days. What impressed me most was how up-to-date he is. He referenced the latest research and studies (some from just the past year), explained the science in plain English, and showed me why certain approaches are now preferred over older ones. It was obvious he's someone who stays current with medical advancements rather than practicing on autopilot. I left feeling genuinely informed and empowered, not confused or dismissed.On top of that, he's incredibly caring and compassionate. You can tell he truly wants his patients to get better and feel supported. His bedside manner is warm, reassuring, and professional all at once. He treated me like a person, not a chart number. The staff is equally awesome.

The in-office procedure was on-time, quick, super easy, pain free and both Dr. and his staff were fantastic.

This Dr asserted it "had" to be adenomyosis, however, my MRI said differently. I had to beg to have my hormones checked. He refused to put in orders to check my blood counts because "he doesn't handle anemia." He originally wanted to just perform a biopsy in his office with absolutely no heads up at all! When I made it abundantly clear I was not comfortable with this, he said that the only way to treat my irregular periods would be a "surgery" (he did not specify exactly what kind of surgery which fueled my anxiety even more). Just loosely explained it in a condescending way. If he just told me the name of the procedure, that would have been helpful. But of course not. I was treated like I was an idiot, and crazy. Remarks were also made about my age and "ovarian health" without proper testing to refute his claims. And just to test things out because he insisted I was having "anovulatory cycles," I tested my progesterone several times over the last week and a half in my luteal phase, as well as tested my LH levels mid cycle. All were indicative of ovulation, at least for this cycle. And I just had a baby a year ago... I did just turn 40 but I did not appreciate this overgeneralization simply due to my age and without a thorough work up of tests to at least back it up! Instead I had to pay out of pocket for my own bloodwork for a more thorough investigation. Something I don't think I should have had to do! Additionally, I had to do my own research. I asked lot of questions during my visits which appeared to annoy him and he was so deadset on making statements without asking questions and ordering tests, especially another MRI in my case, and something I found to be a red flag I came to his office twice in one week because I was so concerned about symptoms I having...and Veronica at the front desk so kindly alleged that I "put pressure" on her "so many times" to put in the authorization when I asked once!

WTF? And am I really going to allow anyone to perform any kind of procedure on me when she feels comfortable copping an attitude like that?! Absolutely not! I can only imagine the terrible things this Dr, who snapped at me last I saw him to ask about a medication, went and said behind my back.

She truly cares about her patients as whole people and takes the time to look at every aspect of women's health.

What I appreciate most is that she creates a real, personalized plan with her patients that focuses not only on treatment, but also on prevention and long-term well-being. I genuinely feel that I'm seeing a doctor who truly cares about me and my health, someone I completely trust. Her team is also incredibly kind, professional, and welcoming, making every visit a positive experience.

My experience with Dr. Shilita was extremely disappointing. Instead of listening to concerns and collaborating as part of a medical team, he became visibly upset when I requested a second opinion. He raised his voice and told me, "You just lost a great doctor part of your team, Dr. Mariam Bakhtary," which felt incredibly unprofessional and ego-driven. What made the situation worse was that Dr. John Li who I was made to feel was somehow a downgrade is actually Dr. Bakhtary's partner and was simply away on vacation for a few days before returning. The reaction I received for simply advocating for myself as a patient was inappropriate and uncomfortable. Patients deserve doctors who listen, communicate professionally, and prioritize care over pride. If something feels off, trust yourself and seek another opinion. Your health is too important not to.
