I don't have enough words/adjectives to describe Dr.William Buxton. I used to see him like 20 plus…read moreyears ago for few neurological problems that I had from my severe depression and anxiety. I honestly thought that he had retired. When I called his office to make an appointment(sometime last week), one of their office staff gave me an afternoon appointment--right away. At 1pm. When I used to see him for severe headaches that I had back in 2010-2012, he recommended me couple of medications--which worked. Massage and physical therapy. I followed his orders and with time, I started feeling much, much better! He also gave me couple of referrals to see other specialists. Going back to my recent visit, my issue was having tingles in my fingers and toes.He examined them and told me not to worry about it, it's stress related and for me to take it easy and get more rest and exercise. Even though it hurts and makes me feel uncomfortable. Dr. Buxton and his staff are super great, pleasant, helpful and very professional. If you encounter any one of those problems, don't hesitate to reach out to this wonderful, caring, supportive office. Place is clean, and so are the restrooms. Parking is available, but I found parking on the street. They accept insurance, and most major credit cards...If I could give him 20 stars, I would. HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!! I really don't know what those few negative, bad reviews are all about?? Thank you Dr. Buxton, and office staff. He is the doctor of the doctors!

Like another reviewer said I can't say enough about this wonderful doctor. I have never felt in…read moresuch good hands. He is warm and friendly and attentive to his patient needs. You get his undivided attention and his response time through the My Chart app is outstanding. I am a high maintenance patient but I never feel like I'm annoying him or taking up too much of his time. He has given me many excellent referrals too. The entire experience from front desk to the back desk there is nothing short of extraordinary. I have a lot of specialists now that I'm older and the other doctors within the practice are all outstanding. He has set the bar so high that it's almost a miracle when I find a doctor that comes close to the care I received from Dr. Buxton. He is a doctor's doctor!

The worst. The literal WORST…read more I'll be filing a complaint with the state as well as the insurance company. Do not see this doctor for anything if you want to get back to your optimal physical condition. If you are under 75 years old, this place is not for you. We've been with PIH for decades and in the past 5 years, it's become deplorable. The visit with this doctor was so alarming and ridiculous that I immediately canceled my association with the medical group as a whole, my insurance company United Health got my injured daughter urgent admission into the Memorial Care group and it's been like night and day. MC is how PIH USED to be. I canceled my entire family's decades-long association with PIH primarily due to the rotten cherry-on-top utterly deplorable and disappointing visit with Chou. I really can't even refer to him as "Dr" because he certainly did not conduct himself thusly. Do not go to this Dr. Perhaps he was good and attentive at one time, those days are no longer.

Dr. Jacobson is a lifesaver. I have been in his care for over 20 years now. I first saw him in…read moreNorthridge because he was the psychiatrist my insurance company was contracted with. Immediately I bonded with him. His bedside manner is delightful and his work ethic is admirable. He after the first visit discovered that I wasn't just clinically depressed,I was manic. I was laid off my job in 2009 after the company was sold and went into a deep depression. I had been working with Tri-anim for 24 years. Dr. Jacobson worked with me closely. He was pleased when I found another job in just 3 weeks. He told me to update my resume and told me about Monster and Indeed.com. When my contract job ended I couldn't find anything because I didn't have a degree. He told me about online universities where the coursework is easier than going to college for 4 years. I was extremely anxious about how I was going to pay my rent. I had amassed over $375K in my 401K, and Dr. Jacobson told me to take out some money for the bills. When I called they said that since I was no longer an employee I had to leave it alone or open up a Ira at a bank and then transfer everything to the new account, so that's what Dr. Jacobson said to do. One thing I forgot to mention is that he moved his office to Agoura Hills, and he was not accepting Medi-cal. He said don't worry" I'll charge you the insurance rate of $75 per office visit which is unheard of. Psychiatrists of his caliber charge upwards of $300 to their cash patients. When I complained about the drive to Agoura Hills from Northridge, he said " Jordan don't stress. We can do television via Whatsapp and I'll see you at no charge. WTF? That was unbelievable. This is the kind of human being he is. I continue in his care today, and haven't paid him a dime since 2009. What a mench. Jewish for an angel. Recently my insurance company stopped paying for my medicine so he put me on Abilify. I only pay $25 per month, but it doesn't work as good as Vraylar for me, but the share of cost for Vraylar with Humana is $400/mo. I am only in Social Security and my husband is disabled so our monthly income is only $3,000. Our rent is $1895. My insurance broker Steven Ruhkmann told me to call the manufacturer and apply for financial aid. Dr. Jacobson texted me on Sunday evening at 7:00 pm to tell me he is finishing his part of the application and he needed to send me a document to sign. On a Sunday night he's still working. Old- fashioned work ethic. Now, I need a note from him to make my new kitten an emotional support animal for me because I wasn't allowed to bring him aboard the bus for a Grand Canyon West and Hoover Dam tour in Las Vegas. So, my husband stayed in the hotel and I and my best friend took the tour. When I asked to get a refund for my husband's ticket they refused. They kicked him out for a 3 week old kitten and won't give me my $109 back. I called Viator who is the 3rd party and they got back to me with the same answer: No refunds. Dr Jacobson suggested that I contact an attorney and sue for discrimination. Always looking out for me. I told him that I won $150 in Vegas and to give me his Zelle number so I could at least send him $50 bucks. He responded to me this morning at 4:00 am and told me "I got plenty of money and you don't. Enjoy your winnings. So, I asked him where I can share my experience with his wonderful care, and he said Yelp. I've given too much information but you won't find a more dedicated, hard working professional psychiatrist than Walter E Jacobson, MD

Not the care I expected…read more I was initially hopeful starting out with Dr. Jacobson. I looked into providers in my area and found his "shrink bites" on YouTube insightful, especially on forgiveness. So, I became a new patient. Unfortunately, I was quick to realize that he rushes his appointments, leaving no time or opportunity for questions for further discussion. I did not feel invited to share anything or ask questions, as he often responds quickly with little patience--at least that's how I interpreted it. I followed his instructions when I started my medication and provided a summary on my experience, as directed for ADHD. I was responded with criticism for sharing too much. And this over-sharing happens to be an effect of the medication, which he failed to recognize. In my perception, his demeanor is overly professional and he does not take careful effort to monitor his patients' progress. I understand that he may have a large number of patients, but he should have at least take demonstrate patience with each one of us and have interest in our subjective worlds as patients. Speeding through obligatory questions and concluding an appointment in one minute was not what I was expecting. I believe patients have accountability on our ends to reach out when necessary, but we struggle with mental health and sometimes require an extra hand. We shouldn't be expected to be perfect, formal people. A passive aggressive text informing that I need an appointment is not the best move, considering I was going through an SSRI withdrawal for a few weeks. My depression got worse, as I felt uncared for and I blamed myself for expecting too much. It took me some time to get over my anxiety to reach out. Even though his part of my treatment is psychiatric medications, I could at least expect some empathy or emotion in his messages. A welcoming attitude is necessary on the provider's end for patients to open up. I struggle with depression and social anxiety, and it didn't seem as though he was considerate of that. I decided to accepted my mistake and moved on. I entered a PHP program after my SSRI withdrawal had sent me into a long depressive episode (which was my fault). There was a psychiatrist at my program who made minor changes to my medication plan. She knows I see an outside provider and I had allowed disclosure of treatment information to Dr. Jacobson. I did not consider her my primary psychiatric provider, so I continued seeing Dr. Jacobson. It seems there is this expectation from him that we know everything about insurance and the healthcare system and he gets frustrated over misunderstandings. So I was scolded at and I felt genuine fear as it reminded me of my childhood trauma. I was then instructed to come back when I am discharged from the program. Essentially, I just felt like another patient, and not another person. He just isn't what I was looking for. Maybe I should've been transparent, but I fear talking to him honestly. I've never felt this way with someone who is supposed to make me feel the opposite. He is not the best fit *for me* but he does his job sufficiently. If you just want a prescription quickly and conveniently, Dr. Jacobson may be your provider.

I've seen providers in the past who made me feel like just another patient, but here I truly felt valued as a person. This practice not only offers clinical expertise but also warmth, patience, and encouragement. Canybec has helped me tremendously as I navigate my mental health challenges (such as ADHD and anxiety). As a bonus, his facility is well kept and very clean. The couch is also super comfortable.. so comfortable that you'll settle right in and share whatever's on your mind in no time!
