Kattan literally saved my life by diagnosing a blockage in my heart and I had immediate surgery to repair it.

I've been with Dr. Sari for about six years and I love her. She's a true partner on my health…read morejourney. She's warm, caring and nonjudgmental. If I come across an article about some new drug or other health news that I'm interested in, I can send it to her and we'll discuss if it's right for me. When I go in for an appointment, she takes her time to listen and talk about my concerns. Truly, I give her my highest recommendation. She's a rare jewel in our crowded, chaotic health care system!

While I was a patient of Dr. Sari for years and was relatively happy with her care, I unfortunately…read morecannot recommend her after a negligent and extremely inappropriate experience that I am still struggling with today. I reached out because I feared I may have contracted a very scary life-threatening medical issue- something that with better warning and follow up care on the part of her and a specialist, likely could have been prevented. When I got the diagnosis from Dr. Sari for the very thing I feared, I became understandably terrified, sad, and couldn't help but cry. I apologized for being upset and despite my own emotions, I felt it was important for me to give some feedback about why this diagnosis was extra upsetting to receive. I respectfully expressed that I felt I had been let down by her and the specialist for not being warned or given proper instruction to take a common OTC supplement that would've prevented this. While I was in tears because of the diagnosis, she quite literally scolded me over the phone because of this feedback. She deflected all responsibility onto the specialist, despite me reaching out to her to confirm the specialist's treatment plan was safe and well-informed for my situation- something I thought was a standard thing to expect of your primary care physician who has a more complete picture of your health history. She proceeded to have a complete emotional outburst and said some really nasty things to me, singling me out as a patient, and yelling over me as I tried to speak. I was completely stunned. Feeling very overwhelmed and upset by her argumentative confrontation in response to reasonable feedback, I tried to diffuse the situation by pleading with her, saying I didn't feel this was an appropriate time to do this, she had just given me a serious diagnosis. I had to get my tears together to reason with her and said "Dr. Sari, please I'm not trying to argue with you" - her exact words were "GOOD! THEN DONT!" Not to mention before the testing she said I could take an OTC med that, if I had the thing I was asking about, could've killed me. I'm glad I didn't take it, since my test was positive. While Dr. Sari is generally pleasant, it seems in times where it matters most, she lacks real compassion for people who are reasonably concerned about their health. I gave the same feedback to the specialist & he calmly and professionally heard my concern and agreed he should have mentioned the OTC supplement to prevent that diagnosis. Dr. Eitches' inability to remain compassionate and professional when giving someone a very scary diagnosis ensures I never want to receive bad news from her again. She made an already bad day so much worse, and I initially thought there must be something major going on in her personal life, surely she'll realize how inappropriate that was later, but she never reached out to apologize for how she handled that day. That says the most of all to me. I debated writing this review because she was so immediately reactionary I expect she might write a response implying (as she did while scolding me over the phone that day) that I was a difficult patient, in order to deflect from her completely inappropriate behavior. Before our call she already seemed to be annoyed that I emailed after hours when I became violently ill suddenly, despite me being told by her it's fine to call with questions and concerns during office hours and to email after hours- something I only did when I was genuinely concerned about my health & I very rightly was in this case. I said I was happy to make an appointment- my after hours email was just to get an initial read on whether my situation was life-threatening & get tested before a long holiday weekend where things would be closed. Maybe that makes me a difficult patient to a doctor like Dr. Eitches. But I'm writing this review ultimately because this has deeply affected me emotionally & made me avoidant of seeking out care. I will also be at higher risk of getting this issue again for the rest of my life. I don't want another potential patient to be the emotional punching bag for Dr. Sari, and be spoken to as if you're a bother, and a nuisance for being concerned about severe and sudden symptoms. It cost me $350 for the 15 minute phone call where I was dismissed, shamed and screamed at that day. A doctor is not just there to order tests or write prescriptions- especially one who doesn't accept insurance for "better care". How doctors listen to us and speak to us matters. Nothing will outweigh the bottom line- A doctor should never EVER talk to a patient the way she talked to me, let alone while in tears during a scary diagnosis. I had many good years with her like many reviews reflect but this is a real possibility of what you might get with her, as I did, completely unexpectedly. I recommend if you're on the fence, you seek out someone without any history of brazenly scolding a scared patient, with seemingly no remorse.

The most caring, most sweetest and most genuine Doctor i have ever been to in my life. Hands down…read more She truly cares and whatever you are going through, she will do everything in her power to make right. Im in love!!!

Although I'm not a physician myself, I have headed public and patient relations for a 1,000 bed…read moremedical center, as well as consulted for several other hospitals and national health associations. This gives me a good perspective on what constitutes excellent patient care. By every measure, Jill Broffman is clearly far and away the best primary care physician I have ever known -- and I have known countless numbers of physicians. That's why she's mine and my wife's and adult daughter's doctor. She's extremely attentive, involved in my well-being, and stresses preventative care. Her genuine concern for my health has lead me to take considerably better care of myself. She involves me in my health care. She's collaborative with me, rather than dictatorial. The results have been amazing. Her expertise is extraordinary. She's an associate professor of medicine at UCLA. She keeps up-to-date on the latest medical and health information and techniques, as well as alternative therapies. Don't underestimate the importance to your well being of the relationships your primary care physician maintains with specialists. The specialists Dr. Broffman has referred me to are the most highly regarded. Almost as important, specialists hold her in such high regard that I am always seen promptly and treated with great respect. Make no mistake about it, to a specialist, who refers you makes a difference. When I got hurt or ill, Dr., Broffman has always been quick to respond and if necessary, immediately squeeze me into her busy schedule. If she thinks it may be something serious, she'll use what I call her "ruthless compassion," to get me evaluated and treated. Most important, she's always friendly and delightful to see. Is there a downside? Yes. Because so many of her patients are evangelical about her, I'm not sure how many new patients she'll take. You pay her office and get reimbursed by your insurance company (if you have health insurance).

If i didn't already have a primary care physician, i would definitely choose him! Great job all!

At my first appointment, Dr. Ishaaya did an initial evaluation and explained that I would need additional testing. We scheduled a follow-up appointment that was supposed to be the more extensive visit where I would complete multiple tests and get a better understanding of what was going on. When I called the office beforehand, I specifically asked how long the appointment would take and was told approximately two hours because of the number of tests that would be performed. After going through the scheduling process and insurance approvals, I arrived for my second appointment expecting that evaluation. Instead, I completed one allergy test and two breathing tests. Then I was asked whether I had already completed the more detailed CT scan. I explained that I had not because I understood that the testing and evaluation were what I was coming in for that day. I was then told I would need to schedule that separately. I left after about 50 minutes with no answers. My previous CT results, which I had brought in, were not reviewed or discussed in any meaningful way. My atelectasis was never addressed, and I did not receive any explanation of what it could mean or what the next steps should be. The appointment ended with me being asked whether I wanted a prescription for a histamine medication or paperwork to go get the scan. After two visits with a pulmonologist, I expected a clearer understanding of my condition and a plan moving forward. Instead, I left feeling like I had spent significant time, gone through unnecessary scheduling steps, and paid a copay without receiving the evaluation or guidance I was seeking. The communication from the office about what would actually happen during the appointment was also very unclear.

I'm incredibly disappointed with Dr. Gladstein's care…read more Requesting to speak with the doctor on-call for APLA on a weekend, I never would have imagined reaching someone more concerned with finishing his morning run than actually having a conversation with me about why I needed medical care. But Dr. Gladstein was the doctor on-call, and he was short and rude. He called me back immediately after I called the after-hours service, and there was a problem with him getting through to me, so he chose to lecture me via voicemail on how to use my phone so I could receive his call. Seriously? He got voicemail. How about, "Sorry I missed you. Please call the service again and then be prepared for me to call you back very quickly." ?? And then when we did connect: all talk, no listen. Denying things I said that were true. Talking over me. Not hearing me. Not trusting that I knew anything about my own health. (I'm not trying to be a doctor, here; I'm trying to be a good patient advocating for and collaborating on my own care.) After my (amazing) primary care doctor retired, I'm looking for a new primary care physician. I had been told Dr. Gladstein was a "traditional" type of doctor. I now know that was code for "bossy know-it-all who doesn't let the patient speak." Dr. Jay Gladstein may be technically brilliant, but he doesn't have the care, patience, or empathy to deal with people - and isn't caring for people what doctors do?
