Dr Mazouz is a very smart,insightful Doctor. He really considers your whole body when diagnosing? He is kind and understanding. This is what a good interest should be. I have been going to him for years and Refered all my friends. We are all happy. Thank You Dr Mazouz read more

Went in once for a yearly visit. Great doctor. Gave a urine sample along with other tests and went home. Got a call. The assistant lost my urine. So I had to drive back to give my urine again. Fine. I was happy to do it. A week later I get a ten minute call with the doctor to say all my labs were fine. No issues. Nothing to address. 4 months later I get a bill. Yearly visit fully covered by insurance. The ten minute call, however, was billed as a full visit. $128.19, and that's after insurance capped the $300 charge. Feels a little too predatory for my taste. Won't be going back. read more

STAY AWAY: literally the worst doctors office in LA. Starting from the receptionist. The rudest lady I've encountered. Screams at you, degrades you, hangs up on you when she doesn't want to talk anymore. Will refuse to help you with ANYTHING. If all you need is a bandaid, maybe it's a good doctor but if you have any questions or need any sort of referral, don't waist your time. I never leave reviews but this doctors office was beyond horrible. On top of that, they will just randomly send you multiple Bills for no reason and when you call to see why you got a bill, they'll just hang up on you. read more

Bad! My husband had kidney stones and one was stuck near the kidneys The Dr took xrays And was not able to see that! I immediately took him to cedar sinai see a specialist who immediately told us that he was going to loose his kidney if the stone was not taken out immediately!!!never again!! read more

I wish I was never Dr Mazouz's patient. A couple years ago he was my assigned PCP through my insurance at Cedars Sinai. I noticed that I was having bone pain and it was painful to stand in one place for a short period of time and walking made my lower back have severe pain. I asked Dr Mazouz if he could please give me an order for a bone density scan. He refused to order it for me. He said that I'm too young and it's all in my head. A year ago I was diagnosed with severe premature osteoporosis. My entire world changed. I had to see multiple specialists who told me it isn't safe to get pregnant at 30 years old because of high risk of spinal fracture with my condition and the pressure on the spine of carrying a baby. I was recently married when I found out this horrifying news. Dr Mazouz neglected me. If he listened to me I would have been tested earlier and able to get treatment so that I would be able to have a baby now. He has hurt me, my family, my husband and marriage. I wish I changed doctors when he denied me the test. I wish he had listened to my concerns. When I called him to tell him the news of my diagnosis he didn't say sorry or take responsibility. He just said I don't care, report me or write a review, do whatever you want. I don't believe he is a dr who deserves to be in the Cedars Sinai network as he is not compassionate, my concerns were completely brushed off, and no excellent care. Please stay away from Dr. Mazouz at all costs. If you need another reason to leave his patient care or not to go in the first place, check the hidden reviews and there was another patient he nearly killed due to not listening to her request for a thyroid test. What is with him and ordering tests for patients when clearly they need them?!! read more

I was referred to Dr Mazouz from my hip surgeon. I needed a doctor clearance to have a hip replacement and didn't have a primary care doctor as I was new to the area. I've been to a lot of doctors. And Dr Mazouz has been really great. I suffer from migraines and though I didn't see him for that specifically, he offered a solution that I told my neurologist about and now I don't have any migraines. He offered a lot of support to me after my surgery as well. Just a great all around doctor. read more

Good doctor. Seems to make meaningful and caring recommendations and not in a rush to kick you out of the office like some doctors do.

I love Dr. Mazouz. I had a wierd asthma attack last night. I made the mistake of googling for info this morning, and in a panic, I left him a message. He called back about five minutes later. On a Saturday. If you have a PPO, you don't know how hard it is to find a good doctor. My insurance blows. I never once saw my last primary care physician - I was always seen by a nurse practioner (two of whom made significant mistakes) and she never once returned a call. The one time I insisted on seeing her, it took two months to get an appointment, and it was cancelled not once, but twice. (Yes, it was then that I finally realized I needed to find another MD.) Dr. Mazouz is thorough. He's spent at least 30 minutes with me everytime I've seen him. He asks questions, answers questions; he explains what he's doing and why he's doing it. His office staff is great -- they're pleasant, helpful, and completely on it. If there's any issue at all, it's that Dr. Mazouz is always running late. But it's because he spends so much time with patients, and that's ok with me. read more

A friend of mine recommended Dr. Mazouz 4 or so years ago and I've been going to him ever since. He's very thorough, kind and respectful. It's clear that he genuinely cares about the the health of his patients, which is rare to come by in my experience. I also really like the gals that work at his office. They're all very sweet and personable. Vanessa has been there since I started seeing Dr. Mazouz and she is fantastic. I've recommended Dr. Mazouz to several friends and all have been very grateful. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Mazouz as my primary care physician for over 5 years now. He has always been very professional and easy to talk to. He explains exactly what the problem is, what causes it, and how the medicine works to help it. He'll draw diagrams if needed, which is very helpful. I'm a lifelong allergy sufferer and I've seen several "specialists" over the years with varying degrees of success. For the first time, I finally found a doctor who can pinpoint the issue, explain it, and prescribe a course of action that has greatly weakened the symptoms. Most days I can't even tell that I have allergies and I haven't had any sneezing fits or sinus infections since I started treatment. I highly recommend Dr. Mazouz. I have also noticed a much shorter wait time in the last two years compared to when I first saw him in 2010, in case that's been noted as an issue by other reviewers. read more

The trust and comfort--- two most important things to keep in mind as far as Primary Care Physician is concerned. In my opinion, Dr. Mazouz meets those requirements due to his experience, educational background and personal qualities. He is always available to discuss any issues over the phone including laboratory tests results. The office staff is professional and efficient; phlebotomy services are reliable and quick. I feel very privileged to have Dr. Mazouz as my Family Doctor. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Mazouz for about five years now and I couldn't have asked for a better doctor! He is attentive, caring and always supportive. He's the best! read more

I have been going to him for about 15 years or more. To me he is great. At first I was seeing him about every 2 to 3 weeks. Now it is about once a years. And I am 15 older. Again to me he is great. read more

The WORST doctor I have ever been to in my life. I had an appointment at 9:30 am and the doctor didn't COME IN until 11. We were 3 patients waiting on him and he has the audacity to make us wait. Another instance I broke my hand and he made me come in to get a referral and waste 1 hour, why? Just because he can get his 25$ co-pay. This doctor is horrible, very knowledgeable and smart but horrible service, I mean what's the point of being smart if u can't please the patients? This is absolutely my worst experience with a doctor in my life. On top of that his secretary's are ben worse Han him, they are rude and obnoxious and they don't care about any patients. A real horror show STAY AWAY read more

I went to Dr. Mazouz all of one time before never going back. I saw him because my PCP retired and referred me to Mazouz. I went in for a general check-up. He seemed like a nice, friendly guy, but I immediately noticed some signs of his lackadaisical care. 1) After weighing me and taking my height, he told me I was "obese." Being a guy who goes to the gym four times a week, I told him I'm not a model, but I'm surely not obese. He dismissed me, saying according to the height/weight chart I was. I had to insist that he test in some other way. Once he begrudgingly took me into the adjacent room and used the handheld BMI machine, he was surprised to tell me I was 14.5% (below average, nowhere near obese). First red flag. 2) He prescribed some facial cream for me, which wasn't at the pharmacy when I went to pick up. I had to have the pharmacy hound the office for the prescription. 3) When the prescription ran out, I called Mazouz's office to refill. No one got back to me. 4) I called two or three times over the next couple months, periodically calling to see if they could refill my prescription or if I should come back in to see him. I called at different times, always got their machine, and never got a call back. My final message said "if I don't get a call back this week, I'm finding a new PCP" - and still never heard back. My advice would be to not waste your time with this guy. read more

Excellent doctor. Dr. Mazouz is personable and detailed. He is knowledgeable not only about medicine, but also about insurance issues. He can help you navigate odd situations, and you know he's on your side. Quality of care is paramount to this doctor, who is never hurried and always takes his time to make sure everything is covered. I highly recommend Dr. Mazouz. read more

I am 67 years old and have been a patient of Dr. Mazouz for almost 10 years. I know I can trust him and he is always there for me. Last week I was in his office with an infection on my finger. He prescribed an antibiotic for 10 days. Today I was on my last day and the infection was not completely healed. I called him and he suggested I come see him the same day. I'm glad I did. Rather than prescribe additional drugs he wanted to see what was going on with me. That concern and caring is very comforting to me and much appreciated. Alex W. PS I orginally went to see him for a weight problem, Dr. Mazouz's specialty is weight loss. He helped me resolve it completely. After being on yo-yo diets and losing what seems like 1,000 pounds, I have been at my target weight for over 7 years. read more

UNETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICES. I'm actually going to report him to the medical board because what the front desk staff did to me was downright dangerous. I wasn't aware that this doctor apparently expects to see his patience once every 3 months (yes, for the $$$$$$). I did two follow ups then cancelled the third because quite frankly -I didn't need it. Happened to make an appointment months later because I needed to see him (it takes at least a month to get an appointment because he has everyone coming in so often) When I ran out of medication before my appointment (they cancelled my prescription the day I cancelled my previous appointment) I called and asked for 10 more pills to last me until my new appointment -front desk staff returned my call to say no. When I tried to explain that it is DANGEROUS for me to quit my medication cold turkey her response was "you shouldn't have cancelled your last appointment, we expect people to come in every 3 months, otherwise we cut off your prescription". Thank god I found another doctor who understood the danger of what his front desk staff was trying to do to me to teach me a lesson about not cancelling appointments and I got squeezed in next day by a real professional and got my prescription. Just don't go here. Front desk staff super rude and aggressive..unless you have time/money to go in every 3 months! read more

I know several people who have gone to him for weight loss, and as an owner of a weight loss clinic I have even referred several clients to him myself. Dr Mazouz has an outstanding reputation as a genuine, caring, and responsible physician. The feedback I have received from those that have been to him has always been very positive. He has a very warm and respectful bedside manner, and never tries to sell or push any of his weight loss solutions. His program is also very affordable and can be billed to insurance, which for weight loss is very rare. read more

I was recently referred to Dr. Mazouz by Dr. Friedman, an endocrinologist who shares his office, in order to have a glucagon stimulation test done. I have a vasovagal reaction to blood and needles so needless to say I was more then a little apprehensive about the test. Dr. Mazouz was more than empathetic and accommodating making sure (personally) that I got an appointment when my mother would be in town to accompany me to the appointment. He also personally drew my blood at each interval and numbed me before my injection so that I didn't feel any pain! His staff was also accommodating checking on me and bringing me blankets. He even made sure to give me something to drink after the test to tide me over till lunch! I would definitely recommend this doctor for anyone who is looking for someone kind and compassionate, especially if they have anxiety! read more

Dr. Mazouz almost killed me by been a gatekeeper for the HMO insurance. He was my primary doctor during pregnancy. Postpartum I developed extreme fatigue, exhaustion, memory problems, mood swings, didn't have any energy to care for my newborn child and almost got in a car accident few times due to falling a sleep while driving with my child in the car... I discussed my symptoms with Dr. Mazouz and asked him to check my Thyroid since I had issues with it prior to pregnancy. Instead of checking my thyroid he assured me that all the symptoms were related to my age and pregnancy and checking the blood was unnecessary. This continued for 8 month. I failed an important job interview due to my memory problems( couldn't remember basic work related terminology). That time I asked him to write me a letter saying that he was taking all the responsibility if I would get in a car accident, since I was falling a sleep while driving. At that point he felt uncomfortable and agreed to check my blood. Guess what few days later when I called for results he told me that my Thyroid results were so dramatic he couldn't discuss over the phone. I came to his office and couldn't believe when I looked at my results: 1) my thyroid hormone was 0.003, (almost gone), TSH was 59 (nl is 0.5-4.5), TPO Ab 9,000 (antibodies, Normal is less than 35). I could have had a heart attack easily, but I developed Hashimoto's Thyroditis and have been suffering since then... I regret ever going to him as a patient. read more

I know I am always in good hands with Dr Mazouz. He has been my doctor for over two years and I am very happy with his services. The friendly staff at the office is another reason I have given Dr. Mazouz 5 stars, I would recommend him to everyone. read more

I've been Dr.Mazouz patient for about 5 months and have seen him for about 3 times. Every time I had to wait more than 1,5 hours after my scheduled appointment time to see him. Receptionist and everyone else were nice, but the wait is too long. read more

No communication! Office staff cancelled or rescheduled my appointment twice. I arrived at the third appointment early to find a locked door and no one answering the phone. AVOID! read more

The billing department is terrible at this place, both my husband and I had been to this place for a regular physical checkup over a year ago. We have seperate insurances, our insurance companies tell us that they have settled the claims for us and that we are only responsible for co payments. The billing department doesn't cooperate in getting the issue resolved and repeatedly send us the doctor's invoice with a huge amount. It's over a year now and is really beyond annoying at this point. They really need to check their accounting system and mark off when they accept a payment from a insurance. read more

Dr. Mazouz is my doctor, though he may not be for much longer. He strikes me as being a good doctor. However, his office and staff are so poorly organized as to render the entirety of practice infuriating. The last time I was in there I made a list of things that would justify me finding a new doctor. I share that list with you: -The nursing staff asks for and gives private information in front of everyone in the waiting room (while I was there they spoke about one of the patients Chlamydia diagnosis and asked for another's results regarding a bone density test) -The first appointment I had there I waited 2 hours because the nurses had forgotten to put my appointment on the book. The second appointment I waited two hours after my appointment time. Why? Good question. My appointment was at 8:45. The doctor didn't arrive until 9:00. -When people finally get frustrated with the nursing staff and leave the nurses proceed to badmouth the patient as if the patient is the one being impatient or crazy. -They make frequent mistakes. I listened as the nurse explained to the doctor that she had sent something for testing to the wrong lab. Also see my note above about not scheduling the appointment properly. -The nurses are NEVER at fault and act put out with the simplest of questions/requests. I just got word from a specialist that I can't come for my scheduled visit because the primary physician's office (Dr. Mazouz) never submitted the referral. When I called to raise this issue the nurse was more interested in arguing with me about whether she had submitted the referral than just fixing the problem. -they make no notes about who you are or what you are dealing with. I don't want to have to reintroduce myself and re-explain my insurance situation every time i have an appointment. - They whisper to each other and speak about people in Spanish in front of patients. As a Spanish speaker this isn't the end of the world, but it's remarkably rude to do in front of people who may not understand. - One of the nurses has to help the other with EVERYTHING and often has to say "no no no. not like that." This doesn't engender a lot of confidence. - They put my name into the system wrong so that they couldn't find my test results. After waiting for 2 hours I was told to go back out to the waiting room while they fixed the mistake. This, to me, adds up to a complete disregard for people and their time. Like I said, most of my complaints don't reflect directly on Dr. Mazouz, but I can't have a lot of faith in him if his office is so poorly operated. read more

Dr. Mazouz cares about his patients, in a very personal and wonderful way. He takes the time needed to understand the situation and diagnose it. No rushing here! It's a refreshing experience these days. read more

I've rarely had a problem with wait time as the first poster mentions, and I've been to see Dr. Mazouz 5 or 6 times. He's very knowledgeable, friendly, and cares about his patients. A great primary care physician read more

Dr. Mazouz is a nice person and has a decent bed-side manner. But, if you value your time and don't like feeling abused, stay away from this office. The first time I went in (with an appointment at 10:30), got there on time, and proceeded to wait for an hour in the reception area before alerting the staff that they had 10 minutes to get me in or I would be leaving. They got me in 5 minutes later. He wanted me to come back the for a follow-up 6 weeks later. I made the appointment for 9:00, and showed up right on time. There were two others waiting with me. At 9:20, while sitting in the reception area, Dr. Mazouz arrived at work. Twenty minutes later, at 9:40, I told the staff they had 5 minutes to get me in. And 5 minutes later I left. It is clear that Dr. Mazouz' MOA is to stack patients and make them wait for extended periods of time for their appointments. He obviously doesn't care that I too have a job and my time is valuable. Such disrespect for his patients should not be tolerated. I just received a bill in the mail, which appears to relate to the second appointment... read more

Dr. Mazouz was my doctor for years before I switched jobs and consequently better insurance to switch to someone else. My review is pretty much a combination of all of the other reviews left on here - he is a very nice man, but I think overall is lazy and doesn't put a lot of effort into genuinely caring about or getting to know patients. Aside from being asked to come in for any recommendation needed (and charged my co-pay for the visit every time), recently in dealing with an ongoing issue he kept asking me to come back for a follow up every month. Nothing really out of the ordinary, until he asked me to come in for a follow up and when I came in, he asked me why I was there to see him! Umm, you asked me to come in for a follow up, you should know why I am there. Keep in mind this was after I had waited around an hour after my scheduled appointment time, because this office definitely likes to keep people waiting. I had also voiced some concern with another small issue I was having, consequently took some tests and was asked to call back for my results. When I called, they told me what the results were and called in a prescription for me. My prescription wasn't called in when I went to go pick it up, so the next day I called back only to have them tell me that there actually wasn't anything wrong with me, that I was fine. I still wanted to know what was wrong and the receptionist (who is actually really nice and a good improvement from the last girl that was there) said she would talk to the doctor and call me back. Never got a call back. So that was my last visit and I am very much looking forward to not going back. read more
