My friend, Brenda Magidsohn, was seen by Dr. Khorrami this week, and she said of her experience: If you are looking for a great gastroenterologist, then you have hit the "Jackpot!" Dr. Khorrami takes the time to listen to your needs and provide the BEST possible alternatives. read more

Dr Khorrami, Has been such a Blessing to both Peter & Myself. I refer to Dr KHORRAMI as Peter's GUARDIAN ANGEL. Peter was Admitted to Cedar Sinai for cirrhosis of the Liver. In which he had a Double LIVER transplant. The 2nd Liver Transplant was coupled with a Kidney Transplant. From day (1) when Dr KHORRAMI treated Peter for Gastrointestinal issues. He's been by Peter's side he is such a Phenomenal Physician and a blessing to both Peter and myself. He's has always been so charismatic, attentive and very supportive while treating Peter. Both inpatient and outpatient care. Dr KHORRAMI has always gone far and beyond his GI specialty call. He will always refer Peter to the necessary Specialty Physician for treatment and care. We have the utmost regard and respect for Dr Khorrami. He has indeed been a Blessing in our life's., Dr Khorrami is extremely Admirable in the Quality of Care for his Patient's. read more

I found Dr. Khorrami after extensive research. My first visit was fine. Although he seemed a little rushed and kept cutting me off as I was explaining various situations that I felt necessary to discuss. But I let it go. When I received my blood work results and post visit notes, he listed on my chart that I had a full physical. That was not the case. It was nowhere near a "full physical." Still, I let it go. Then it was time for my upper endoscopy and colonoscopy. The procedures went very well and I felt "Ok, he redeemed himself so to speak." Although I observed he chose to spend time discussing the results of two other patients who went it before I did, but when I woke up from my procedure, it was a nurse who relayed a message from him. I didn't appreciate that. In a way, I felt as though his behavior was perhaps homophobic and that he chose to spend as little time as possible to discuss anything with me. (Strangely enough, on the app with his office listing, it has the rainbow flag LGBT. Because of his actions toward me, that seems more PC than sincere concern for the LGBT community) Moving on. Now, I called in last week to confirm my follow-up appointment and request the lab order for my bloodwork when I was "informed" by a member of his office staff, that "only an A1C test would be ordered" even though I requested a complete blood panel as I've done every time I do a follow-up with previous doctors for over 15 years. Why should it be any different with Dr. Khorammi? She brushed me off by saying "You JUST had a full panel in May, you don't need it again. Nor will the insurance company pay for it." First of all, I don't care if insurance will pay for it or not. I can pay any out of pocket expenses needed for the services I demand. Secondly, I took offense that some office stenographer would take it upon herself to tell ME what SHE felt I needed. NO ONE will dictate to me how I should handle my health. Just because I had clear results with my bloodwork in May doesn't mean something can't come into play four months later! I lost both of my parents in their 40's. I'm now 58 and have strived to stay on top of my health by making sure I had full blood panels taken four times per year. Better safe than sorry - catch anything as early as possible is the goal. She then said, "I will pass along your message and concerns to Dr. Khorammi." I have yet to hear from him. So I cancelled my appointment and will find a new doctor. I should have trusted my guy instinct when I saw the notes from my initial visit, but instead I gave him the benefit of the doubt and hoped he would become my new doctor. That didn't turn out well at all. Like Cher said, "If I Could Turn Back Time." I will end by simply saying this: Dr. Khorammi - next time a patient comes in and seeks your care and advice, perhaps you should appreciate the fact that you were the one they chose and take the time to make EVERY patient feel respected and valued. And tell your staff to stick with clerical duties and scheduling appointments rather than taking it upon themselves to give their unwarranted medical advice. B. Edwards read more

Dr. Khorrami has been a lifesaver! I honestly don't know where I'd be without him. I had been struggling for more than a decade with terrible IBS and SIBO symptoms. I never felt like I had been truly listened to before I met Dr. Khorrami. I went through Dr. after Dr., and no one was ever able to really help me. I vomited almost daily for more than 6 years!! I met with Dr. Khorrami ONE TIME, and he found my answer--a miracle! Thank you so much!! His wife is also a fantastic doctor that works in the same practice! You can't go wrong with this duo. read more

This man is my savior! After a botched gastric bypass Dr. Khorrami saved my life. He preformed multiple procedures to restore me to life! After almost 2 years of eating only yogurt and milk and losing over 175 lbs I was surely a goner but he saved me. It was a gift from God that I was able to have him as my doctor! He is so caring and compassionate. He always put patients' comfort above all else. He also treated my husband too! You will have truly the best care if you have him as your doctor! read more

Go see Dr. Khorrami he is an excellent G.I. doctor He's very thorough experienced caring, knowledgeable! You feel like you're being taking good care of his patients helping them to get the best health possible! read more

Dr. Khorrami is a terrific Gastroentorologist. I have gone to him for many years and has always helped me with my ulcerative colitis. He also approved my getting a gastric bypass in 2010. I lost 100 pounds and maintaining a weight loss at 103 pounds. His staff is terrific as well always at the ready to answer. Any questions I have I highly recommend Dr. Khorrami. read more

My Doctor retired during the height of the pandemic and I NEEDED a gastroenterologist immediately. I was recommended to Doctor Khorrami by my general physician. I am so grateful I was. Dr. Khorrami is so knowledgeable and compassionate. He even made sure I was seen by another doctor whose office was not getting the urgency of my illness. He is a kind man who listens and understands. I highly recommend him and his staff to anyone that needs his services. read more

I don't recommend Dr Payman Khorrami to anyone , no knowledge and rude and his staff so rude and full of attitude , even one star is to much for him. don't waste your time to go to him. read more

I called Dr. Payman Khorrami's office to get my test result. They wanted to charge my credit card $15 to e-mail me the report. This was just a simple positive or negative result and she rudely refused to tell me verbally. read more

I honestly don't know where to start! I am so grateful for Dr. Khorrami he has been helping my Mom for over a year and he has basically saved my Mother's life. Not only is he an experieced Dr. I feel like he is a Real Life Angel on EARTH! He takes the time to explain to my Mother and I the Medication she needs and the steps to attain her healthier new lifestyle. The staff is always very pleasant and punctual. Since covid-19 they have been very reliable and has stayed in contact with my Mom and I over phone visits. The office is open during this time and it's such a pleasure to visit. I highly recommend Dr. Payman Khorrami and his staff. You will not be dissappointed he is very informatative and knowledgeable about his practice! I hope this yelp review help you guys get pointed in the right direction and get the care we all deserve! P.S he is very PATIENT, PROFESSIONAL, & COMPASSIONATE. We NEED MORE DOCTORS AND STAFF LIKE THIS! read more

I was looking not only for a good G.I. doctor but for a doctors office that has qualified and nice staff. I found both here. I was referred to him by a doctor friend of mine, and I took it his advice and I'm so glad I did. The office staff has been great which I really appreciate and the doctor is very talented with the work that he does. I highly recommend this doctor to anybody who's looking into a G.I. doctor. read more

I saw Dr Khorrami over 16 years ago. ONLY ONCE. I did not continue with his medical advice and found another specialist at Cedras Sinai. Fast Forward to let year, I now have received 5 different bills for services, even though I have not been in his office. I have called and they always explain its a different Jose Gonzalez. GREAT...stop sending me the bills then. Get your office in order and bill the correct t person!!! read more

Dr. Khorrami is very sweet, caring, professional and has a great sense of humor. I highly recommend his practice to anyone in need. And I'll definitely refer my friends to him. I went to Dr. Khorrami for my pre-op. He's very patient and responsible and called me in person to explain an issue I had with my blood test. Very responsible. When I had my blood drawn, my veins are really hard to find. One of the nurses couldn't make it and poked me once without finding it. Dr. Khorrami came in and found it right away! I really appreciate that so I don't have to be poked more times. He's actually the only doctor that I've seen who can help with finding the veins. Most doctors either can't make it or simply don't think it's their responsibility( they think it's too small of a task for them, so they leave it to the nurse even the nurse couldn't find it and I always end up being poked many times.) So from that I can tell Dr. Khorrami is very caring, no matter how small the task is, it's the patients that he cares about the most, if the nurse couldn't make it, he'll absolutely help then I know I'm in good hands. That's what a good doctor should be. He's awesome! I'll definitely return to him if I need any medical help in the future! read more

My PCP and a close friend both referred me to Dr. Khorrami for my colonoscopy. I was able to get both the initial appointment and the procedure schedule in a relatively short amount of time. Dr. Khorrami's office was very friendly, helpful and able to answer all my questions (first time having this procedure). In the initial appointment, after Dr. Khorrami explained the procedure in full detail in a telehealth environment. When I finally met him in person, just before I was given anesthesia, he made me feel comfortable and at ease. One week later, I had a follow up telehealth call with Dr. Khorrami and fully explained what he saw and his findings. His first question was to ask how I was doing... not in a medical sense, but in an overall sense. He wanted to make sure there were no issues once the procedure was over. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Khorrami's for about two years. He's great, professional, patient and has a great sense of humor. He listens and you can tell he's thinking about what you're saying. On my last visit, he printed out an article for me regarding these sharp headaches I've been having which I thought was thoughtful! I usually go to holistic doctors but Dr. Khorrami is the only "reg" dr I see because he's just that good. I never feel rushed when I visit. If you're looking for a great IM, I would recommend him highly! read more

Dr. Payman Khorrami's professionalism, knowledge, patience, and understanding are of the highest caliber. These qualities are matched only by his compassion, care and friendliness. He is the finest doctor I've ever had as my primary care physician, and since I've started seeing him this past February, the care that I've received has changed my life. After dealing with a chronic gastrointestinal issue (diverticulitis) and experiencing a life threatening emergency surgery in 2017, I faced a variety of ongoing painful challenges over the next year. It wasn't until finding Dr. Khorrami did my condition begin to improve. Now, just ten months later, he has saved me from further surgery, and put me on a permanent course to a healthy life again. THANK YOU DR. KHORRAMI! My family and I thank you, and we could not be more grateful. He is as good as it gets. read more

this office deserves the 5 stars! I had an appointment with them on a Tuesday morning and signing in was easy they didn't have like 50 pages for you to fill out, staff was friendly. The reception area is a little small when I walked in it was almost full, but that's okay. I was not able to get in until about 11am apparently Dr.K likes to spend lots of time with his patients which is not bad! When they called me in the doctor himself apologized and promised me that he will not rush with me and indeed he did he asked me all the right questions and he also answered all my questions. He is very nice and professional and willing to help you in any kind of way! The nurses were quick and knew what they were doing so I'm looking forward to my next visit with him! Also when he ordered my blood work it so happened that quest is just down stairs so I was able to knock 2 birds in one stone very convenient! read more

Payman Khorrami, MD FACP - Internal Medicine Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Both my husband and I see Dr. Khorrami and he is hands down the most trustworthy Doctor in Los Angeles that we have ever met. He genuinely cares about his patients and wants what is best for them and he is not focused on trying to make money off of you; which I believe is a very rare thing to find in this city. I definitely recommend him! read more

I am dr Khorami patient and seen many other doctors in his field but for sure he is one of the best as he is extremely knowledgeable most caring also his staff are frankly implacable and friendly. read more

I just saw Dr. Payman Khorrami for the first time and I can already tell he's a phenomenal doctor. The thing I liked the most is that he took his time to listen to what I had to say. He would then ask thorough questions that helped him understand and relate to my issues. After throwing loads of my medical history and paperwork at him he made sure not to jump to conclusions. He wants to evaluate my situation in a pragmatic way with minor test rather than jumping right into bigger GI testing which I've dealt with in the past. The staff there is very professional and the office is spotless. My only issue is with the parking in that building. It does get a little expensive so I would suggest public transport or Uber. Dr. Payman's expertise overshadows any type of transportation issue. Overall Dr. Payman is down to earth doctor who understands his patients needs. I highly suggest his doctor as your primary or GI doctor. read more

One of the best doctors I've ever been to. I was late 20 mins due to traffic and he actually cut out of his lunch time and saw me still and still took his time. Very caring and knowledgable. THE ONLY doctor thats ever been able to find my vein for blood draw without poking me everywhere looking for a vein. He was definitely worth the drive and would definitely go to him again. read more

I can not thank Dr. Khorrami and his team: Pauline and Ambar enough for their exceptional care and kindness. I feel incredibly blessed to have him as my infinitely professional physician! I look forward to being under his continuous care. read more

I'm very pleased to say unequivocally that Dr. Khorrami is as good a man, as ethical and caring to be extra helpful to his patients, who may be dealing with a concerning circumstance or worse; and that his brilliance in his field of health is top-notch. I consider myself lucky to have him as my doctor. Scott Weiser read more

I can't even put into words how GREAT Dr. Khorrami is! He is an exceptional Dr. who never fails to surprise us with his endless efforts to care for his patients day in and day out. Dr. Khorrami never ceases to amaze me with his work ethics, his compassion, professionalism, humility all the while doing it so gracefully and in such a humble manner. I highly recommend Dr. Khorrami for anyone and everyone who has ever lost faith in doctors. Dr. Khorrami will prove that GREAT doctors DO exist. Thank you, Dr. Khorrami far more than words can ever express! read more

Dr. Khorrami is the most consummate doctor I have ever encountered. He treats the whole person, not just a specific area. He is very kind, considerate, and knowledgeable, and, he is concerned with the success of any procedure that he performs. Recently, after several failed attempts at a colonoscopy, Dr. K gave me a different prep, one that did not make me sick; therefore, I was able to have my first successful procedure. Now I will no longer have to look forward to the next one with fearful anticipation. This one was a "piece of cake!" Brenda M read more

I have been seeing Dr. Khorrami for almost a year now. My only misgiving is that I haven't been seeing him, or someone like him, over the last several decades. My initial decision to designate Dr. Khorrami as my primary care physician (P.C.P.) was based on very positive online reviews, his office's convenient location off of Olympic Boulevard in West Los Angeles, and the fact that he is a gastrointestinal specialist. After 35 years of suffering from a mysterious and debilitating illness, I am finally seeing my health improve after being properly diagnosed, and prescribed the medications that are making a positive and sustained difference. In addition, my wife decided to designate Dr. Khorrami's wife, Dr. Roya Golshani, as her primary care physician, and conveniently, she specializes in women's health issues. They are both kind, compassionate, intelligent, and follow a professional protocol. The procedures that Dr. Khorrami recommended for me discovered issues that prior procedures missed, and those issues are now being addressed with the proper medications, ongoing observations, and necessary lifestyle changes. I highly recommend Dr. Khorrami as both a PCP and/or a Gastrointestinal specialist. Thankfully, Dr. Khorrami, his nurse, and office staff have made me feel like I've been their patient for many years. read more

I have had a history of GI problems. I needed a new specialist for a checkup and a colonoscopy. Dr. Khorrami is caring, patient, listens to you and helped me understand things about my health history that other doctors either never cared to explain or did not understand. The follow-up after my procedure was thorough, clear and Dr. Khorrami was so supportive. His office as well as his surgical staff were also all amazing and caring. I give Dr. Khorrami my highest recommendations and I've already recommended him to two family members. read more

Dr. Khorrami is an excellent doctor and he has assembled a fantastic team. I have gone here for over 5 years and will continue to do so because of the care and expert guidance I've received. If you're looking for a new doctor or aren't thrilled with the service you receive currently, I would highly recommend that you give Dr. Khorrami a try. You will not be disappointed. read more

This is a great office. Dr. Khorrami is always through, takes his time, and listens. I never feel that he is rushed or rubber stamping my physical. His bedside manner is kind and welcoming. Highly recommend this office. If you're like me and hate paying for parking, head to Spalding and walk up the hill. A little exercise never hurts before you see your doctor right? read more

I like Dr. Khorrami, unfortunately his rating will have to suffer due to his unfriendly staff. I am a firm believer in the front desk people being representatives of the doctor's office. So if they are not welcoming, then I'm sorry, but I will look elsewhere. So I give Dr. Khorrami a 4 star, his staff gets a 2. Dr. Khorrami: - Gentle - Never hurries - Very thorough His Staff: - Never smiles - Sometimes rude - Should find a new job if they don't like this one. That's just my 2 cents. read more

I went in for a GI consultation. I ended up getting an EKG (not needed because I am in perfect health and my stats will impress even an Olympian), a breast exam (not needed because my annual was less than 2 months ago, which I told him) after unhooking my bra himself (!!!), and then the doctor unzipped my pants to push around my lower abdomen (probably needed, but did he have to do the unzipping himself?!). He then told me that his wife worked with him, that she was an OB/GYN, and joked that the two of them together were a "one stop shop." But if she's the OB/GYN, and you know that I had my annual not more than 2 months ago, what business did you have to give me a breast exam? Apparently, Dr. Khorrami takes his internal medicine/women's wellness duties more seriously than his GI duties. I had to book a follow-up appointment to actually take the H. Pylori test (for ulcers), which was why I came to him. I found the entire experience creepy and insulting, and for good reason. Months later, without having ever received a bill in the mail, I get a letter that says the $50 I owed for the appointments will be sent to collections. I called the billing office (310.553.5588), paid, and told them that this is not the way to do business--patients should be given the opportunity to pay their bill first. The woman told me that their "billing department" is separate from the office, and there was nothing she could do regarding my concern other than apply payment. Well, you just lost me as a patient and client. read more

I have had GI issues as long as i remember. In the past 8 years when my problems exacerbated, I have seen many doctors, especially GI doctors. I can say with confidence that no one has ever spent this much time listening to all my symptoms and concerns, nor has shown as much sympathy as he has. He ordered all sorts of tests and labs. I had to beg my last GI dr to order any labs or diagnostic tests for me. Overall, super happy I've found Dr Khorrami and highly recommend him. read more

I found Dr. K to have a very kind, genuine, caring aura. He's also very patient & answers all of your questions & explains things with kindness. I was impressed with how authentic he was & I think he has a very healing quality to his presence. It's rare to find doctors with the technical, intellectual & "energetic" gift & who allow you to ask questions & take their time & give you their undivided attention to truly help you. He removed a polyp that had been bleeding & took care of everything for dad. He spoke to me in terms I could understand (I can grasp most of the medical concepts) & was just amazing. He helped my dad with his colonoscopy/endoscopy & we are truly grateful. I've only spoken to his staff a few times on the phone & she seemed polite & helpful. Thankfully his office contacted us & the polyp was non-cancerous (benign). This office is thorough! I was in the waiting area chatting with another family member of a patient of Dr K's & she & I both agree that he has a very nice vibe & calm/caring demeanor. So you know a doctor is good when you can chat about him with other family members. Wishing the doc & his staff the best for their help. read more

I have been going to Dr. Khorrami for years, he is the most honest, thorough, kind and efficient doctor I have been to. He has a wonderful bedside manner which is very important to me and his professional knowledge is extremely trustworthy. The office atmosphere is professional and clean and he employs a fantastic staff. If you are looking for a great doctor you should stop looking and call Dr. Khorrami TODAY!! read more

Dr. Khorrami is one of the best doctors out there. He's not only very knowledgeable in his field, but he also takes the time to explain important information so I could understand. He's very good with follow ups and even has his people call me to schedule the appointment in case I forget. I can't express how much Dr. Khorrami has helped me through his appointments and through a viable treatment plan that has helped me tremendously. I hands down recommend Dr. Khorrami! read more

I have been going to Dr. Khorrami for 2.5 years, and I have always found him and his staff to be very kind. Dr. Khorrami is attentive, knowledable, and very honest. I requested to get a second opinion from a specialist about a heart condition, and he recommended an excellent physician who saw me right away. More importantly, Dr. Khorrami listened to all of my symptoms with a kind ear, and did not hesitate or have an attitude when I asked to set up an appt w/a specialist (no ego). The comments that another person had about his staff, I think might be out-dated. My personal experience with his staff have all been very positive. Upon entering, they are very welcoming, and even on my first visit they all had anticipated my arrival and knew my name, and took the time to make small talk with me. When I called to follow up about the physician referral, they had all of the information and were very timely in calling me back to schedule the follow-up. They also explained all of the insurance stuff to me patiently and without attitude. The truest testiment for an Angeleno I think is this : I chose his office primarily b/c I had no other "family doctor" in LA, and his office was in close proximity to my job, and they took my insurance. I have since moved jobs and locations, but I am committed to stick with Dr. Khorrami as my general practitioner, and will make the commute to see him. I also really like the detail they give on their website. Very helpful for newcomers. 5 stars. read more

Dr. Payman Khorrami is caring, informative and a very good communicator. Out of the blue my strong, athletic husband suddenly got sick with what looked to us like a very bad flu that would not go away. In a short time, Dr. Khorrami correctly diagnosed Pancreatic cancer which is very difficult to do. His staff had to struggle with our health insurance to get the MRI authorized quickly because of the speed with which this disease progresses. When we could NOT get an appointment with the surgeon, Dr. Khorrami called him on his cell phone and we saw the surgeon that same day. Two weeks later my husband underwent the Whipple surgery which is somewhat like a severe bariatric surgery in that a lot of intestine is removed along with much of the pancreas. We continue to meet with Dr. Khorrami who is tweaking my husbands medications during and after chemo and radiation. We can't say enough good things about this doctor. I am leaving this review because I am the YELP member, but my husband, Darel, is alive and available to verify this all, thanks to Dr. Khorrami. The key to Darel still being alive, and possibly in remission, is Dr. Khorrami's experience and attention to detail. read more

I wrote a review back in 2016 when I saw this doctor but apparently yelp decided to delete my review so I'm going to try again. This man shouldn't have a medical license. I went to see him for a routine physical for my work. He insisted on doing an EKG (I was a healthy 35 year old) and had me take my shirt off, he never offered a gown. Then he proceeded to unhook my bra himself and let it just hang on my arms while he stuck the EKG pads on me. I felt so shocked that I couldn't say anything at the time. I laid there topless for what seemed like forever while he finished the EKG. I left stunned and shocked and knew that something inappropriate had just happened to me. I called the medical board but clearly nothing has been done. I figure I can at least warn women on yelp to avoid this man. I can't believe he is still practicing medicine. read more

Dr. Khorrami is amazing. I stumbled upon him using UHC's find a doctor tool (I was trying to find a doctor close to work). Finding a doctor like Dr. Khorrami is almost impossible, I know because I've been searching for a while. Dr. Khorrami is patient, caring and thorough. First Experience: Making the appointment was easy, and so are subsequent appointments. His staff is helpful and nice- pleasant if you will. I met with the doctor and he spent a great deal of time with me. Went over my symptoms, health, history and conducted a physical. He wanted to be thorough---not what I'm used to with other doctors. I have been seeing him about once a month (health related) and couldn't be more satisfied with his care. Follow Up: Whenever I call or need anything, the office (including Dr. Khorrami) call me back. I had an issue with my insurance and Dr. Khorrami and his office worked diligently to make sure I got what I needed. I highly recommend Dr. Khorrami and would give him more than 5 stars if I could! read more
