Interesting information about Dr. R. Alrezk, MD and Professional Bio:…read moreDr. Rami Alrezk, MD, MS, FACP is a triple-board-certified specialist in Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism, Geriatric Medicine, and Internal Medicine. He is the founder of the California Endocrine Center in Murrieta, CA. His pedigree is elite; He served as a Medical Director at the Cleveland Clinic and completed advanced fellowships at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), UCSF, and UCLA. Dr. Alrezk is not just a clinician but a researcher who developed the Geriatric-Sensitive Cardiac Risk Index, a tool now utilized by major health organizations to improve surgical safety for seniors. He is widely considered an expert in high-complexity cases, including neuroendocrine tumors and rare adrenal disorders. Peer Review: 5/5 Stars The Verdict: Dr. Alrezk represents the rare "physician-scientist" who successfully bridges the gap between high-level academic research and compassionate patient care. What Stands Out The "Triple Threat" Perspective: His background in Geriatrics, Internal Medicine, and Endocrinology allows him to see the "whole picture." He doesn't just treat a thyroid; he understands how that treatment impacts the heart and the aging process. Scientific Precision: Having trained at the NIH and Caltech, his diagnostic approach is more rigorous than a standard community endocrinologist. He is the doctor other doctors send their "mystery cases" to. Patient Accessibility: Despite his world-class credentials, patient feedback consistently highlights his humility and clarity. He has a knack for explaining complex hormonal feedback loops in simple, everyday language. Conclusion: If you are in Southern California and dealing with a complex endocrine issue--especially if you are an older adult--Dr. Alrezk is arguably the most over-qualified (in a good way) and capable specialist in the region. My Review: Dr. Rami Alrezk is one of the best physicians I have in my care team. He is very knowledgeable not only as an Endocrinologist and Neuro Endocrinologist, but he understands the importance of treating the whole body. For years, many physicians I have had in the past, wanted to just jump in and put me on medication that I couldn't tolerate. There was a reason for that, but he was the only one who knew why. He also does ultrasounds, liver scans and Dexa scans in his office himself, which saves time on a diagnosis. I have never experienced the level of care he has for his patience from any other doctor. I guarantee you will get the best care if you establish with Dr. Rami Alrezk. He's one of a kind and quite impressive. Thank you Dr. Rami, for your caring attitude and expertise.

I just got home from my first visit to Dr. Jou's office and I have never felt so compelled to write…read morea review and post it ASAP. Yesterday, I called Dr. Jou's office and, unlike the other three endocrinologist offices I called, his front office was extremely warm and welcoming over the phone. I felt it was a great start, but contained my enthusiasm for the time being because I have been disappointed down the road so many times before. Fast forward to today's appointment and the front office staff was just as friendly and accommodating in person. They respected the appointment time and got me back to a room not a minute later than scheduled. The nurse who started off my visit couldn't have been kinder and she even checked in with me while Dr. Jou was finishing up with another patient. When Dr. Jou entered the room, I immediately got great vibes from him and noticed his way of letting the patient talk and truly listening to what is being said. He allowed me to fully express how I was feeling, symptoms I've noticed, and never cut me off. He also entered everything I was telling him directly into his tablet. He was thorough in explaining my test results, options for treatment, and timelines. He did not rush anything and had back up plans for every scenario that were clearly well thought out. I honestly don't think I can say that I've ever visited a doctor who I walked out of their office without the regret of not having been given the opportunity to say something about my situation until now. Even on the 45 minute drive back home from his office, I couldn't think of anything that he didn't cover or allow me the time and opportunity to explain or ask. To add a shred of credibility to my words, I would like to say that my father is a (recently retired) cardiologist who had his own practice in North Hollywood. I spent countless hours with him there from the age of 5 years old through my late teens. Therefore, I know a bit about how difficult it can be to ensure your front office staff, the doctor, and the rest of the overall patient experience are all simultaneously performing at an optimal level. Somehow, Dr. Jou's office pulls off that seemingly impossible feat beautifully. In closing, health struggles can be very scary and stranger, friend, or family, I don't want anybody to ever have a poor experience with a medical office during such a vulnerable and stressful time in their life. Therefore, I sincerely hope that you strongly consider choosing Dr. Jou as your first option if you are in need of an endocrinologist. Wishing you the best of health and the best of life.

I have been going to Dr. Hoyt since Feb 2025. I was diagnosed with autoimmune (Sjogrens and…read moreHashimoto's) and I was MISERABLE. I had no energy. I was relying on coffee throughout the day to keep myself going. At night I would toss and turn, never getting restful sleep. I was desperate for it. I had almost constant body aches, and if I did anything physical I "paid" for it in joint and muscle pain for days after. I didn't want to go to the doctor and be put on a new medication. I needed a solution to the root of my pain, not a bandaid. I sought out a functional doctor in my area and found Dr. Hoyt and his wonderful staff. On my initial visit I learned that I was full of inflammation, and the next visit it was all confirmed with my blood test results. In two weeks of following his plan I got my sleep back. In a month I no longer had chronic joint pain issues. In the 6 months I lost 44 lbs and regained my health! I have changed my nutrition and now respect how my body can heal itself. I am feeling so great now - I can't thank Dr. Hoyt enough. My insurance did not cover it - but what I gained was worth every penny.

Due to Dr. Joo's absolute & diligent care and expertise I have lost over 40 lbs & other areas displayed a remarkable move in the right direction. The only downside was my cholesterol remains high. I cannot tolerate statins so she suggested Repatha, which Tricare approved. I love engaging in discourse with her because she's so attentive and so interesting.

Wow. Just saw Dr Joo's response to my review. Before my appointment, I called her office and asked…read morewhat should I bring with for a first osteoporosis consultation. The receptionist said they take care of the records. Then at the appointment Dr Joo told me I should have brought all my records in a file. I need to reschedule. Second appointment I am prescribed w medication for osteoporosis. Turns out these meds are blood pressure lowering, apparently the doctor didn't read my file, that I am already taking blood pressure medication. After 2 weeks of unpleasant low blood pressure symptoms my PCP saw what the problem was. I asked Dr Joo not to charge me for the additional appointment since I was misinformed by her receptionist. This is why Dr Joo is making all these rude comments on my refusal to pay for 2 appointments. Apparently this office is too basic to subscribe to the medical records services, plus incompetent staff makes the whole records process a bigger pain than it should be. Since then I have found excellent, professional care. If you have to, see an endocrinologist in other parts of the state through telemedicine, there are really great ones. It's hard enough to come down with a serious medical condition, no need to be put through this abuse by an arrogant and greedy doctor who really should go on psychiatric retirement sadly.

Very knowledgeable and willing to listen. One day I messaged her, right after Christmas 2025. She usually gets right back to her patients, at least in my case, but in this case it was several weeks with no response so I figured maybe she was on a vacation. I was quite taken back when I found out that she had left the practice as I had just saw her a week prior to Christmas. . I never heard from her and I was pretty close to her as a patient and she knew so much about me and my medical and health needs. She helped me profoundly and I was absolutely grieved to see her go. It has been difficult to find a doctor like her. I have several conditions and a rare disease. She did not hesitate with unconventional and traditional approaches, and to listen to the patient and their needs as well as how they were feeling, to together come up with the solution that would alleviate the issues as well as provide hope for getting on a good path to overall health and well being and move forward to see what will work optimally for each of unique case. It is now April 2026 and I still am looking for a doctor that is even somewhat what Deborah Layton was.

I'm sure every patient is different and will do blood tests for the more severe or something he can't solve but with me he didn't. I got a vibe in he takes too much pride and not having to do blood tests for most of his patients. I am also very observant when I was with him the few times of his professional behavior, he's smart, professional and gives off a fake professional caring vibe all the way till almost the end of our meeting, time was up and he did it twice, I was still asking questions and he gave that look to me like hurry up I have to get to my next patient and I watched his eyes wonder to the direction of the other room with a slight irritation. Did this twice, I'm sure Kelly will put in her own two cents. I did not FEEL heard, every time I wrote Kelly telling her of my ailments and it's getting worse, I mean worse I was experiencing symptoms of burping over EVERYTHING, even water and it was scaring me, my liver area was hurting as well and I couldn't sleep because of all the burping. Every time I wrote Kelly at first she seemed attentive in the beginning but eventually she just started saying it hasn't been that long you just started taking your supplements, give it some time, you're just experiencing detox symptoms. Okay so I tried but my intuition was telling me NO this is something more, it's doesn't FEEL right. My final straw with them was when I messaged Kelly telling her my symptoms and she just said go to nearest hospital and report back to us what they say if anything comes up. I'm also in AZ when I was seeing Dr. Cassone so I couldn't visit him but still the fact that I felt like they didn't care and were worried more about $$$ because it cost to see him each time, not once did she ever reach out or ask or say dr. Cassone would like to talk about your symptoms. Plus going to then is the whole reason why I'm not going to regular doctor and here they are just pointing me in a direction to go somewhere else. Those doctors would just prescribe antibiotics and send me on their way. That was my last straw so I never followed up and they lost my business, not that they care because another one always shows up to replace the $$$. I found a new holistic doctor here in AZ, she's amazing and I was so relieved that she wanted to do blood tests after our first meeting. I felt heard by Dr. Karleen, I found out through my blood tests, I'm dealing with candida overgrowth, pcos, low vitamin D and she had me do blood food allergy test. With Dr. Cassones paleo food plan to follow, it wasn't working for me and it's hard to tell which foods I should eat or not, I wasn't so sure whether it was a detox symptom or food allergy, I was never 100% sure and it was making me scared to eat anything. When I did the food blood test with Dr. Karleen, it gave me relief and helped narrow down as to what foods I need to avoid: all dairy, gluten, wheat, egg whites, avocado, ginger, and pineapple. I was eating most of these foods on Dr. Cassones paleo food plan because he said follow this. I knew it wasn't working for my body. Dr. Karleen's supplements are very potent, everything of what she has me taking, I love her probiotics, very powerful. I also liked how I'm able to call Dr. Karleen on the phone, she gave me 45 minutes of her time when I had some concerns when I first started her regime, she answered all my questions and again like I keep saying, FELT HEARD, you can't even call up Dr. Cassone for a quick phone conversation, everything is done through email communication with Kelly, which gets annoying because she didn't always get back to me. I also bought an at home infrared sauna, that has helped heal my gut immensely(look it up, infrared sauna and healing leaky gut), the warts on my hands are gone, my tongue is finally back to bright red, eczema patches on my skin are gone and no longer have burping. I still try to watch what I eat but I am able to eat more easily without any symptoms. (I first started going to Dr. Cassone when I was still living in Murrieta, then I moved to AZ)
