How does one write a 5-star review for someone who does a vasectomy procedure? You'd think it'd be…read morean emotional 1-star review. However, I had an amazing experience here compared to my first visit with another Urologist and staff nearby. First, I have to start with Dr. Hyman's staff. My wife who works in medical always says the staff makes the doctor. I can tell you that the office staff, nurses, and assistants here are all amazing. They're very friendly, personable and communicable throughout, always going the extra mile if needed. Second, Dr. Hyman himself is highly energetic ...in a good way. What I mean is that he carries an optimistic personality, speaking with presence and charisma. He always checked if I had any questions, making sure to leave no stone unturned. The day of, I was scared as hell to have this procedure done. But I remember reading somewhere, "doesn't it make more sense to unload the gun rather than firing at a bulletproof vest?" Based on that, a vasectomy seemed like the most sensible route for me. Plus, I'm doing this for my wife. Who could say no to that? We discussed all the options, and my choice of offering a vasectomy seemed like the least invasive. So I manned up and braved the elements. That being said, the elements were hardly elements at all. I thought he wasn't done numbing me up, when he said out loud he was half way done. I replied, "half way numbing?!" And he responded, "no, I'm in. We're halfway done." I was surprised considering I hardly felt anything other than the first needle stick to numb me up. I even heard from others about a little pulling and hardly felt that too. I was in and out in no time, and was able to drive myself home. I'm currently typing this from bed the day after. A psychological part of me feels like I should be hurting, but I honestly feel pretty great. I'm pretty much only taking Tylenol for pain and it's minimal. Basically, if anyone were to ever (oddly enough) ask me about where to get this procedure done, it'd be hands-down with Dr. Hyman. It was easy with little (and I mean very little) pain or discomfort. From the office staff to the doctor, you really couldn't ask for better than this.

Avoid Mr. Hyman. Horrible Urologist. Completely disconnected with patient's needs. I have an…read moreenlarged prostate. He did every test there was and ultimately completed a biopsy. Let's start with his bed side manner. I mentioned my concerns and asked questions, and they were brushed off. He put me on medication before the Biopsy. I asked why the medications wasn't working any more and causing side affects that were uncomfortable. He didn't listen to what i was saying and suggested to double the dosage. I emailed AND called to ask again if I can go on another medication and the office assistant said they needed to schedule a Telehealth call. In the mean time I'm off my medication and trying to manage the issues with an enlarged prostate, while also managing an executive level job at work. You all know what I'm talking about if you deal with the same issues. My telehealth appointment was booked for 4:30PM 2 week later. I didn't receive a call back from Mr. Hyman until 5:30PM. He immediately said if this is a bad time, he would reschedule. Why would I do that, i already waited two weeks for the appointment. He said he was in surgery. I said, well if your running late - than have your front desk simply give me a call and help me understand that a later call will be coming.. but no, he had me sitting around waiting for an hour to get his call back. There were red flags from day one that I should have noticed. Save yourself some time and find another Urologist.. this is not your guy.

My Friend (AA)has been through multiple surgeon consults, he somehow found Dr. Lake and immediately after his first consult with Dr. Lake he turned to me and said " thats my fucking surgeon" Dr.Lake not only exemplifies amazing bed side manner( and I say that as a healthcare professional myself) he never gives up he always continously guides the most resistant patients( due to past bad experiences with other surgeons) and he does it with such calmness charm and finesse. HE IS THE DEFINITION OF A PROFESSIONAL. He actually cares. My friend got his surgery done on MediCal for christ sake, and the level of care was emaculate. My friends surgery was 9 hours and after the surgery you would think the surgeon would be tired or just wants to give you the news and get out of there, nope this man was smiling sat with us and joked and comforted us- true professional and good human in every senses. The nurses also at valley cedar sinai will tell you the same. He knows how to get the most apprehensive resistant patients to comply. Thats an art they dont teach in med school, you either have it or you dont. I could go on and on, all I will say is Dr. Lake we are so blessed to have found you and thank you so much for all you deligence and hard work, we are forever grateful!!! Also thank you Dr. Hendrix and wendy!!

Didn't offer WiFi or the contact number for my insurance carrier. Just... sat there. Didn't offer to look up my account, didn't offer to get my connected to my insurance carrier, didn't offer to have me fill out paperwork while they handled it either. I asked for the number and she gave it to me. I walked out to call my carrier, gave her the insurance number. I was brought back after a few minutes (my appointment time was skipped over because of the odd standoff up front). The nurse or PA was quite diligent with his forceful, commanding instructions. Albeit, he was very, very clear on where to turn down the hallway and what door to walk through and what chair to sit in. Would I have been more entertained by his mannerisms had I not had such a bizarre time up front? I don't know if I can honestly answer that. He refused to call me by my middle name, the name I go by. The name on my identity cards, the name on my account even. I decide to explain why I'm frustrated after my experience up front, and apologized for my intensity upon walking in, to which he argued with me about literally every single word that came out of my mouth. Every. Single. Word. Granted, I wasn't the kindest about my front counter experience. I gave him the information he asked for, offered to give him whatever data he couldn't pull up on the computer. Previous bloodwork, ultrasounds etc. then Blood pressure vitals taken etc. I apologize AGAIN and he proceeds to holler at me for the name argument. Telling me I'm arguing with him and he hollers as he storms out of the room. Look... I'm scared. I'm a at specialist because I need a specialist to help me. I don't need front desk to be rude. Complacent. Unhelpful at best. Then the nurse or P.A. To be condescending at unbelievably argumentative. I left without being seen by Dr Tavanaei (don't even know if that's the doctor seeing me because I can't read the name written out on my paperwork they gave me). Now I have to go back to the drawing board and find a nephrologist to see if I'm, you know, dying or something. But hey, so glad that dude feels powerful putting me in my place and the front desk ladies got their job handled. Also... they should inform their patients that their parking garage is cash only.

Dr. Fadly is hands down THE best pain management doctor I have every had!!! I can't say enough…read moreabout the man. I am a veteran that has suffered from chronic spinal pain from compression fractures in my spine from my military service. I spent years dealing with the train wreck that is the VA. Where the VA simply offered pills as a fix all solution to chronic pain, Dr. Fadly offered "real" solutions!!! The military refused to utilize cement injection technology to fix my spine at the time of injury; however, Dr. Fadly utilized the technology 8 years after my injury, and he successfully reconstructed my spine. I have even received compliments from other doctors and X-Ray technicians when they have seen X-Ray imagery of my spine after Dr. Fadly's work. Every doctor and technician has stated with elated enthusiasm that Dr. Fadly had done incredible work. In addition, Dr. Fadly had helped me reduce my pain level and my medication intake. You can also expect Dr. Fadly to be at the cutting edge of technology. Ask Dr. Fadly about any new technique or procedure and you shouldn't be surprised to learn that he is not only aware but mastered the practice. With Dr. Fadly, you are not another barcode or number. You actually develop a doctor-patient relationship. I don't just think of Dr. Fadly as my doctor, but as a friend. He takes the time to listen to you with care and concern. Dr. Fadly truly loves what he does. After you receive your treatments, you can't help but hug the man, because you actually feel less pain, and you were treated like a human being. Unfortunately, being treated as a human being and not an addict or something worse is a rarity in this federally regulated medical field, as many of us chronic pain sufferers know too well. Luckily for us, there is Dr. Fadly. One caveat though. If you are someone who simply wants to get in and out of the office with zero interpersonal communication, don't seek Dr. Fadly for help with your chronic pain. One thing I loved about Dr. Fadly, that I again haven't found anywhere else, is that if you are having a lot of pain and need to be seen, Dr. Fadly will make time for you. Even if you didn't have an appointment. Dr. Fadly is extremely accessible!!! However, this can cause long wait times at his office on occasion. Yes, it can be annoying if you aren't the one in desperate need of relief. However, we are all getting older and some of our conditions are only going to get worse. So, while you are waiting a little longer because Dr. Fadly is unexpectedly helping someone else in extreme pain, know that Dr. Fadly will be there for you the day that pain rears its ugly head for you and you show up at Dr. Fadly's office begging for relief. That's right. You will NOT be turned away and asked to make an appointment a month out. However, this is practically the ONLY complaint Dr. Fadly receives. Unfortunately, I had to move away from the Los Angeles area. Ever since I had moved, I have been searching for a doctor that provides even remotely the same level of service. After two years, my searches have been in vain. I had never experienced such suburb medical service nor had a doctor-patient relationship prior to Dr. Fadly. I fear that I may never have one again, unless I can somehow move back to the LA area, which for Dr. Fadly alone, it would be worth it. And, that's saying a lot, considering all the traffic in LA!!! Let me put it this way. I am not the only patient that travels hundreds of miles to see Dr. Fadly and receive his treatments. I and other patients like me do it because it's worth it. You'll never find another doctor in the same caliber as Dr. Fadly. Period.

I went to see Dr. Fadley for a cortisone injection to treat sciatic pain. While I was waiting in the exam room, I could clearly hear him yelling loudly at another patient. I have never witnessed anything like this from a doctor before. It made me feel very uneasy, especially knowing that he was about to give me an injection in my back. I chose to wear a mask in the office as a personal health choice. As I lay down to receive the shot, Dr. Fadley kept talking, appeared distracted, and misjudged the injection site. This caused blood to begin coming out of my back. I panicked and asked if everything was alright. His response was to scream at me again, telling me to turn around, face forward, and be quiet. After the procedure, he asked why I was wearing a mask. I told him it was to avoid getting sick. His reply was, "So you're one of those who actually believes in all that stuff." I am still not completely sure what he meant by that, but it was clear to me that he was being disrespectful and unprofessional. I am writing this to warn others. No one should have to go through what I experienced. Please think twice before trusting this man with your health.

A Clinician of Providential Skill, A Practice of Profound Contrast…read more My initial visit with Dr. Qasabian revealed a hematologist whose clinical insight and decisive approach represented a turning point in my care. After an exhaustive 21-month search through a sea of California's medical providers--a landscape often marked by dismissiveness and professional gaslighting--his precision in assessment and action inspired a hope I had nearly abandoned. During my first infusion, he contextualized my struggle with a narrative that was refreshingly separate from my own; it was the first time I felt understood by a medical professional rather than interrogated. As a patient with challenging venous access, I acknowledge the complexity this introduces. I extend my professional empathy to the clinical staff tasked with this endeavor. I have observed a cohesive and familiar dynamic among the long-term patients and staff, a rhythm built over the years. This established culture is a defining feature of the practice. Ultimately, my continued patronage is a testament to the singular value of Dr. Qasabian's medical expertise. In the calculus of my health, his rare acumen outweighs all other environmental variables.

No matter how great the doctor is, if you can't get an appointment or get rude treatment by the staff the practice is doomed and will not survive. I got an appointment 2 months out and they said they would text me all the information. Next day when i didn't get a text i called 3 times (first time they put me on hold for 10 minutes before i hung up and called back. Second time same thing. Third time i got through only to find out that for some reason i never got the appointment. She said she would have the person who made the appointment call me back. Still haven't got a call or text. Not a good way to run a business and a doctors office is a business! If you are not a HMO patient you have a choice of who to see. I will tell my referring concierge doctor to take Total Spine off his list of referrals.
