He often…read moreseemed to have difficulty remembering details about my case, which led to poor communication and a lack of follow-through. I requested a change back to a medication that had been more effective for me, but despite multiple requests, he continued to issue the same prescription three separate times that I specifically asked him not to. When I brought this up again, he responded with obvious irritation stating that he did (which he did not) and ended the conversation with "enough," which felt disrespectful, dismissive and as if he was speaking to me like I was a child. When I shared my concerns about his response and let him know how I found it unprofessional and decided to cancel our future appointments, his only reply was "will do," without any apology or willingness to discuss it further. This clearly showed me how little he actually did care. Additionally, he once charged me double for an appointment that ran slightly over due to his own scheduling delay, which felt unfair as I was paying out of pocket. While I initially stayed because he had my chart and background, I ultimately felt his focus was not on my well-being. I would recommend finding a psychiatrist who prioritizes patient care and communicates thoughtfully. This certainly is not your guy. Also his assistant Laura is rude and makes you feel very uncomfortable and like you're burdening her with appointment inquiries. I get better mental help and customer service from my hair stylist.

Former patient leaving a frustrating review…read more I quite liked Dr Barkodar for the 1.5 years she was my primary care physician. She's really great and the staff is super polite and crazy clean office. If she were in any other practice, she'd have 5 stars and still be my PCP. Sadly, I had a very poor experience with the Managing partners billing practices to the level where it caused me to question whether they prioritize patient health and safety over a chance to bill more $ and is the sole reason I left the practice. Specifically, I rely on regular monthly medications and for some reason the RX rarely if ever comes with refills. Which by 2022 standards should be fine, the pharmacy usually digitally or by phone requests a refill as soon as I'm out and the next time I need one *poof* I have a refill waiting for me. Curiously in April of 2022, the managing partner Dr. Ali (whom I've never seen) charged my insurance $150 for an office visit on a day I was never there. When I called to inquire, and after 2 weeks of getting the run-around from the office manager Michael, I was finally told that they now code refills as office visits - but they've agreed to waive the deductible and zero out my balance as a "one time courtesy", but going forward the policy was to charge $150 office visit for any and all refills. Given its a monthly medicine and they don't make a habit of writing scrips with refills for some reason - seems like a billing practice to syphon an additional $1800/year which is such a shameless money grab it made me lose faith in the healthcare I'd be provided. In the future I would question any recommended test, check-up, procedure or lab work not knowing if it was medically necessary or just another opportunity to bill my insurance provider. Their billing practices may be within the bounds of the acceptability for the insurance provider, but is enough to make me lose faith in the office culture of prioritizing patient health over billing opportunities. Bummer.

I've been to Dr. Barkodar's office several times over the last year, and I'll never return again…read more The staff is nothing short of rude. You walk in the door, they look at you - and say nothing. This happened every time (been there four times). I overlooked it because I liked Dr. Barkodar. But last week was the last straw. I booked an annual physical, and took the time to go there. It's nowhere near where I live. Ten minutes into talking to the doctor, I brought up the physical, and she said she didn't know I was there for a physical. She said "I don't have time to do that today." I wasted three hours roundtrip going to this appointment. My time = not important. I'm only the patient. I didn't throw a fit, but I called a few days later. When I followed up with the office to reschedule my physical, I explained their snafu, and said I didn't want to have to pay my $30 copay to return for the physical (which I had already traveled for, fasted for, and already paid the $30 copay for) The receptionist argued with me and said if I saw the doctor at all, that is what the copay is for. I explained that I didn't get the treatment I had scheduled (and gotten confirmation about via Zocdoc). She never acknowledged the inconvenience. She just became defensive. Wow. No one in this stupid situation ever even said "gosh, so sorry that happened" Nothing. This experience highlighted things I overlooked in past appointments, which is long wait times + they leave you in a room for long periods of time. Every single time I have been there, I'd eventually venture out of the room to make sure I hadn't been forgotten about entirely (which I had). I like Dr. Barkodar, so this is a shame. Terribly managed practice all around. This is the PPO experience in Beverly Hills California. Healthcare in America is a joke. Looking for another doctor. I don't recommend this place at all.

But Dr. Monsher I feel practices medicine in areas he shouldn't…read more Prescribing Anti-psychotic and depression medicine is not like a checking your ear for an infection. I have now learned after leaving Mel's grip there are other methods/medicines, he was either unwillingly to prescribe or didn't have knowledge about. I fought with him for almost a 1 1/2years to get off a certain medication. He would twist and turn his advice that I never did. At 66, I thought I had the right of choice to ask for and receive help. At one point, he asked me what medication I wanted to use to treat his diagnosis of my depression. That was my turning point when I decided to leave his Concierge practice. In 1995, he prescribed Zoloft. That was the correct medication at the time. However, as years went by it was never adjusted up or down and subsequently I was below the national average dose(now 20 years later) Corresponding to his unwillingness or inability to alter my depression medication, he would inflate his own ego saying how he found and treated my Hep C and Diabetes. I had both diseases. He did and I can't say anything against that. My blood test through Quest Diagnostics confirmed it. Hep C was treated by Dr. Poordad at Cedars-Sinai. Poordad at the time was chief of the (Liver) department. I went there myself. No call was made by Monsher. I personally got the Head of the Department to assist me and cure me. The Diabetes was self-evident again by the numbers. He wrote prescriptions for medications. It was standard practice with the numbers I had. I never was sent to anyone else to treat my depression or diabetes. It was all done in his office. Is it a money grab, I don't know? But in hindsight certainly the depression treatment should have been treated elsewhere. This year I came down with pneumonia. I realized this was the perfect time to escape the clutches and ego of Dr. Monsher. Risking life and limb, I traveled to Motion Picture HW/UCLA in Woodland Hills for assistance. They treated me in a professional manner and promptly supplied me with the proper medications to treat my pneumonia. Upon a follow-up visits, they advised me on other doctors (practicing in depression/anxiety). I focused on one. He has changed my medication that I wanted Monsher to do something about and never did. Everything is now fine. Getting pneumonia was the best thing that ever happened to me, sadly it took that event to completely change my medical care.

I…read morehave worked with him for a few years to date, in a variety of treatment settings including residential treatment, intensive outpatient and day treatment, and private practice outpatient settings. I'm a psychologist that works with personality disorder and trauma, and I continue to refer clients to him due to the high quality of care he provides and expert consultation. When Dr. Goldenberg takes a case, he engages in ongoing consultation with all treatment providers to ensure consistency, continuity of care, and overall highly effective treatment all around. He never assumes authority over any other provider, and engages with each as colleagues supporting each other's work for the best outcome for a client. As a colleague, he is an invaluable resource on every case he works on. All of my clients have reported very positive experiences and successful outcomes with their treatment with him. They often report he is highly respectful of their needs and wishes, never pressures any client to take medication or engage in an intervention, and offers multiple options and perspectives on how to achieve their goals. He is very kind and approachable, and clients report they trust him to work in their best interests and feel very safe in his care. If you are a client or a referring provider, Dr. Goldenberg will certainly exceed your expectations and provide expert care and supportive treatment.
