I have just seen Dr Spirt for digestive issues. He listened intently and gave me a detailed plan to follow. I felt seen, heard and taken care of. His staff are kind and efficient. I can't recommend him more highly read more

Phenomenal doctor! Brilliant, kind, caring, thorough, listens, explains. The staff is also fantastic! 10********** read more

Dr Spirt and staff are exceptional. I made an appointment with him as a new patient for a routine colonoscopy. He pushed back to first run a series of tests as he thought something else was happening in my system .. and he said if we started first with a colonoscopy he'd end up mis-diagnosing the problem. After diagnosis of a disorder & treatment, he cleared it up in about 2-3 weeks .. and i suspect I've had it for 15+ years. Thank you Dr Spirt - forever grateful!! read more

Dr Spirt is a wonderful caring doctor. He listens and respects his patients. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. He is brilliant.

I've been going to Dr Spirt for a couple years now. Honestly, they're awesome but last visit was amazing. They've gone above and beyond to help me out with a specific medication I was having problems getting. Their staff along with Dr Spirt is amazing. If you're looking for a good doctor, you just found them. read more

Where do I begin. I was fortunate to meet Dr Spirt during the pandemic. I needed a gastroenterologist desperately. Mine was not in office. His team was not available. And Cedars Sinai could give me an appointment in two months! I called my primary. His fabulous nurse said she knew of Dr Spirt and would call him. I then called. This saw me that day at 5:00. Last patient !!! He has been my doctor ever since. And has served me above and beyond. He truly is a great doctor with the added benefit of taking time to talk. To listen. To explain. And with all that I have going on he is with me 100%. I am truly blessed to have found him. And one more plus. He has a great staff. Alma is the person who always returns calls. Listens. And keeps the office like a clock. read more

Dr. Spirt is an excellent physician. He's thorough, informative, personable and compassionate. As his patient for over ten years, I know I am in good hands and that is extremely comforting. The staff is equally impressive. 5 Stars!!! read more

Dr Spirt Is a great Gastroenterologist, listens and deeply cares about his patients. The office staff is absolutely wonderful too! Thank You, DR Sprit read more

RUN!!!! Do NOT walk to this Amazing, Phenomenal, First -rate, world class Dr. He literally saved my life! After going in for a routine endoscopy procedure on a "hunch" and for no obvious reason he decided to take a few biopsies even though his colleagues were like "why?, it all looks normal" Thank God he did because the biopsies discovered that I had pre-stage 1 follicular lymphoma. I am happy and relieved to report that after 15 low dose radiation treatments and a 2nd endoscopy 6 months later to confirm.... I am bow cancer free! Seriously cannot say enough good things about this Dr and his staff at the office ! Total Five Star Experience read more

Excellent doctor, took time to help me get to a proper diagnosis. Very personable and knowledgeable read more

I have been seeing Dr Spirt for over 12 years. He is exceptional in his diagnoses and his concern for his patients. He saved my friend's life and has improved the quality of mine. He is simply the best! read more

Liver care, excellent and compassionate, great office, serious people with a kind temperament

I called the office a couple of times to make an appointment and had no success which is why I came in person because I was referred to him by another doctor from the building. Unfortunately, when I arrived at the office my first impression was all patient documents were scattered on the floor and in his office. The belittling of his staff is appalling. Demanding that his staff find a patient document that he lost. Not to mention, I overheard his staff say that if I am not a VIP patient then wait times will be longer based on his nepotism to who he favors more. Thank you for the heads up! read more

I just googled Dr. Spirt because I didn't have his phone number in front of me and I had to call his office. I saw a link to a Yelp review and hit the link, instead of the link to his phone number. I don't tend to leave reviews on Yelp, but I thought, "what the hell, why not?." I have seen Dr. Spirt for 15 plus years. He has cared for my daughter and son as well as myself. He is clearly a fantastic Dr. is super thorough and clearly cares for his patients. Good guy. Helped everyone in my family and I'm grateful that my rheumatologist referred him to me several years ago. Very trustworthy and super competent. Explains everything you need to do in order to get better. Worked for me. Worked for my kids. read more

I had previously voiced concern about Dr. Spirt's efforts at repeat-billing--he refuses to use email, his office will keep calling you every couple months claiming they have a new bill that just arrived. You see other reviews calling him out on this practice. He tried the same thing on the friend that referred me to him. Well, I just got another threatening email from him making wild accusations that he can sue me over a review on Google confirming my experience. (He can't). He previously went to my workplace's Google reviews and called our non-profit "criminal." This guy is not only someone who will lie to your face about his repeat charges, he will try to intimidate and silence you if you speak out. Is this someone you want inside your digestive system? read more

Dr Spirt was absolutely the best doctor that I have met. I was looking for a great doctor due to my health condition and I found Dr. Spirt. He is very kind, he listens, he has all the attributes and great doctor should have. He is always available and his team of employees are the best. I recommend him for anyone seeking a great care. Dr. Spirt is incredible. Not only has he taken great care of my health, but also he is lovely to speak with at every appointment. It's rare to find a doctor that combines such personal touches and care for a patient as a person with outstanding quality of medical care. I highly recommend becoming his patient if you need a gastroenterologist. read more

Many years ago, I went to Dr Spirt to seek help with my GI issues, after having been to several other 'so called' specialists. It didn't take him long to diagnose and prescribe the right medication and diet for my GI problems. Having GI issues can be very debilitating, but in the hands of a true professional, I was back 'in the swing of things' not too long after. I still check in for checkups, and the process is very streamlined and always to my satisfaction. All these years later I consider Dr Spirt a friend and someone I truly trust with my health maintenance. Kenneth J read more

Excellent experience. Dr. Mitchell Jeffrey Spirt is awesome and very kind. He took the time and answered all of my questions. After my colonoscopy he came to my shop to make sure I was feeling good. I am feeling great ! He is a fantastic doctor and Dr. Rudy Bedford is great too ! read more

My first experience at Dr. Spirts office was exceptional. His staff was friendly and Dr. Spirt was punctual and took is time to explain test results from my other doctor. Needing a procedure, I felt comfortable with Dr. Spirt and knew I was in good hands. I also appreciated Dr. Spirts phone calls following the procedure to ensure I was feeling ok. I give Dr Spirt an excellent recommendation, he is a brilliant and competent doctor that can be trusted. read more

Mitchell J Spirt, MD - Flowers - Gastroenterologist Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My mother was one of Dr. Spirt's first patients. To say he saved her life is an understatement - he actually is responsible for prolonging her life over a decade as she struggled with MS and heart disease. His care was incredible. Now, years later, I find myself in a delicate medical situation where he has once again saved the day. As a diagnostician, Dr. Spirt is the best. His knowledge of diseases, gastro and otherwise, and their treatment is exceptional. However, what we most appreciate about this very special doctor is the time he spends with his patients to truly understand what is going on. Although gastro issues are his specialty, he can handle most anything and for issues beyond his scope, his referrals are top notch. read more

I rarely write reviews of doctors, but in this case, I felt an exception needed to be made for an exceptional doctor! I have been seeing Dr. Mithcell Spirt, gastroenterologist, for over 18 years. I first went to him because I was having problems with my GERD. (I have a hiatal hernia form birth I think). He spent so much time with me I was shocked! He listened, he took interest, and immediately knew what to try with me. I had been taking prevacid not regularly and he tried me on generic Prilosec. It worked. Then when I needed a colonoscopy at age 50, he was the one who performed it. I told him I had become ill with anesthesia, and he added some anti- nausea to the mix of drugs. Most impressive was that he never let his patient go into surgery without seeing them first. It is so comforting. He never allows patients to be released to go home until he tells you what he saw or found. Most doctors just dismiss the pre-op and post op care because they are on to the next one. I truly feels he genuinely cares for his patients and it shows. He never dismisses your pain but asks questions to find out how we can resolve it. I have bouts of GERD flare-ups and he knows exactly how to start healing it for me. In addition, as a female, with male doctors, we are sometimes written off. He highly respects women and you can tell. The best part of it all is his sense of humor. He is quite witty, and make you feel relaxed even in the surgery room. It is so rare these days to find caring doctors. He is truly one of the best and I highly recommend hm for any gastro issues! J Ashland, Moorpark, CA read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Spirt for ten years so I can unequivocally attest to his excellent skills, communication, kindness and compassion. Dr. Spirt came highly recommended to me by my internist for the purpose of performing periodic colonoscopies. Dr. Spirt's initial examinations, medical procedures and post-op consultations are always extremely thorough and well-conducted. He is an exceptionally talented physician who always takes the time to explain his process and findings. Dr. Spirt has an excellent staff. They are very communicative, prompt and respectful. They provide fine phone support and great attention in the office. In these hectic times that we live in, it's very refreshing to engage with such smart, caring and efficient medical personnel. Please accept this recommendation of Dr. Spirt and his fine team: Five Big Stars across-the-board! read more

I am picky but when I find the best, I hold onto them. Dr. Spirt is now a part of my roster. I first went to see him about 1.5 years ago with a a terrible vomiting issue. He diagnosed and solved it and improved my quality of life 100x. Recently, I had an urgent and painful unrelated problem. Despite being booked up, he made immediate room for me. Again, following his instructions, my issue began healing immediately. When a last minute issue made me unavailable to make my follow-up, Dr. Spirt stayed late on a day he doesn't normally see patients to make sure I could be see. Dr. Spirt represents the three things I value in a medical professional: skill at their job, patience to discuss the issue and answer questions, and sincere care for the patient. read more

I was referred to Dr Spirt when I was having multiple medical issues that my doctors could not figure out why I was experiencing. I was taking a handful of medications and constantly in pain. I had asthma, acid reflux, back issues, bloating, bowel issues, headaches, allergies, etc. I was miserable. I went to Dr Spirt and he did an endoscopy and colonoscopy and diagnosed me with a gluten allergy. He told me to get my gut clean by eliminating gluten from my diet for 6 months (no cheating) and take a probiotic 2x per day. Over 10 years later I am so grateful for Dr Spirt. He saved my life. I am no longer on multiple medications. My gut is clean and I am healthy. I eat gluten free, dairy free, soy free and take a probiotic every morning. I would highly recommend Dr Spirt. read more

Simply said, Dr. Spirt changed my life. I have been a patient of Dr. Spirt for ten years and he accurately diagnosed me with Crohn's Disease. I have found that finding a doctor with the intelligence, experience, tenacity and empathy to do the work it takes to diagnose is rare in medicine these days. I have found that most doctors are more interested in volume of patients to make enough money to survive and don't spend the time to be curious about solving the often complex diagnosis puzzle (a product of how negatively the insurance industry has impacted healthcare). Dr. Spirt methodically applied his knowledge and experience to explore all of the possible causes of my symptoms to get to the correct diagnosis for me. I used to fear leaving the house for fear of finding myself in a precarious situation...and my work required me to travel extensively, both domestically and internationally...so my life was very stressful until Dr. Spirt gave me my life back. I've been in total remission ever since his correct diagnosis and treatment. I can't imagine where my life would be now without the great treatment from him. read more

The reviews of Dr Mitch Spirt really speak for themselves and I am just adding to the chorus of happy patients here on Yelp, but I did want to add a review as I am so happy with my care and want others to experience the same high standards for their health too. Dr Spirt is very kind, calm and caring. He knows his stuff and is really better than anyone out there. Being sick is usually a scary time in anyones life and you want to make sure you're in the hands of the best of the best, go to Dr Spirt you will not be disappointed. In terms of education, practical knowledge and bedside manner he is the best there is in this town. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Spirt's for 13 years. I have never felt more comforted and more taken care of by any healthcare professional in my life. Dr. Spirt is world renowned because of his unique ability to go from symptom to diagnosis with thorough expedience. Simply put, Dr. Spirt is smart. He sees what others can't. His no nonsense approach combined with his gentle sense of humor is exactly what I need when I'm faced with confusing and concerning health issues. Dr. Spirt has been the perfect guide along my path to a healthy and a care free life. If you want the best for your healthcare, I highly recommend Dr. Spirt. read more

I visited Dr. Spirt for the first time after having months of digestive issues. He was super knowledgable, friendly, and took his time to get to know my history. I ended up needing to have a colonoscopy and endoscopy performed. I was anxious about it, but Dr. Spirt was honestly a pleasure and I felt at ease knowing that he would be the one taking care of my procedure. I am so thankful to have found him. His expertise and bedside manner are truly superior. I can't recommend Dr. Spirt enough! read more

There are good doctors and then there are great doctors. Dr Spirt is one of the greatest doctors .He has always found the issues bothering me. He has always been spot-on when it came to diagnosis and I continue to go to him for his expertise and concern before I go further. Not only does my family use Dr. Spirt as our gastro but he has become everything to us for the last 12 years. We are very lucky to have him as our doctor. read more

I have known Dr. Spirt for several years and I have nothing but great things to say about him! He's an intellectual, high spirited type of guy who always makes me feel at ease when I have went to see him over the years. A visit to his office feels more like seeing a close friend than a G.I sometimes. The level of professionalism, detail, and care is second to none. I would definitely recommend him. read more

I was having stomach issues for about a year. I went to see 3 other doctors in the area, and they weren't very helpful finding my problem. Finally, I went to Dr. Spirt and he spent an hour and a half with me asking super compressive questions. By the end of the visit he had a very strong idea of what was causing my problems. I found him to be extremely smart, compassionate, and caring. After two visits I am feeling great and I am so grateful for his diagnostic ability. I recommend seeing him, you're wasting your time with anyone else. read more

Dr. Spirt is great in so many ways. He made me feel comfortable from the moment I met him. Bedside manner very professional with hints of funny moments added. Zeroed in on my problem after exam & hearing my history. I highly recommend this very knowledgeable & caring doctor. He came with high recommendations from other doctors for good reasons. He's a star! read more

These reviews are a little funny can't help it. But Dr.Spirt is a great DR and has helped me out tremendously. I would highly recommend!

First of all is important, to realize that Dr. Spirt is a private doctor and he is absolutely phenomenal. I have seen a variety of doctors and cannot tell you how much I appreciate Dr. Spirt's help with my case. He took the time to slowly review my case, talk to me intelligently and discuss my course of care as he worked to diagnose me. Finally, after being severely sick for about a year he diagnosed me with Spincter of Oddi Dsyfunction - a rare biliary disease. I had an ERCP done with his associate and have been as good as gold ever since. Apparently my condition in my case is super rare and can take years to diagnose. Despite other commentary from a variety of other doctors that were convinced that my problems were "made up" or "psychological" Dr. Spirt always took my case seriously and never doubted the amount of pain I was in. He also had the insight to order specific tests that other "major head of department" hospital doctors never ordered. He was smart enough to think outside the box and look at the discreet clues. I remember first walking into his office and discussing my symptoms to which he responded with, "I think something is definitely going on, its not life threatening but it is a severe nuisance." He held held true to that thought and sure enough, was able to come up with a diagnosis and treatment that has dramatically improved the quality of my life. I cannot express how grateful I am to Dr. Spirt for sticking by my side and really making the effort to diagnose and treat my condition. If it were not for him I would still be in severe pain and suffering incredibly. read more

I have been seeing Doctor Spirt for a number of years. Primarily for my regular checkups and colonoscopies. However, several years ago I saw he and his associate for an illness. I received first rate care! This is an excellent office. Very professional and capable. Doctor Spirt takes the time necessary to assess your current condition. He is very through. His preventative colonoscopies are done at a first rate facility. He is the best. You can not do better. read more

Dr. Spirt rules! He actually listens to you, takes you seriously, and is genuinely concerned. The office is great, its clean and everyone there is nice, and there is rarely a wait. Highly recommend him if you have any stomach probs at all. read more

This is the first review I have ever done. Dr. Spirt is the best. I am writing this review after being his patient for a number of years. He is the one that discovered my sister's cancer, and is probably the reason she is alive today. He is dedicated to his patients, through, and sincere in his efforts to do his best for you. I saw him recently for an endoscopy and only afterwards, he explained his concerned about a film he had read regarding me. I'm fine, but the technician had read it wrong, and Dr. Spirt ordered the endoscopy to check I didn't have cancer. He handled my situation with extreme kindness, and skill. read more

Dr Spirt is an amazing physician and great human being . Thank you for taking such excellent care of my family and me !
