Dr Boykoff has been my family's doctor for a decade. We absolutely love her. Very responsive to questions and concerns read more

She's one of the best and really cares about her patients. I truly was impressed with Alla and her office staff. Great team!

Alla is a GREAT doctor and a WONDERFUL person - Approachable, knowledgeable, very attentive to the details. I HIGHLY recommend her read more

On August 20th of 2019 my wife had an appointment with our attending physician Alla Boykoff. I was with her. During examination, my wife mentioned that my husband's heart hurts from the back. The doctor immediately examined me, made a cardiogram and said that it was urgent to do a blood test. The laboratory was nearby and the doctor urgently received the result and informed me that I urgently need to call an ambulance for heart matters and go to the hospital where a team of surgeons is already waiting for me and Dr. Krishan Soni The operation went very quickly. They installed a heart stand and saved my life. It took a long time (3 years) I feel fine. I am very grateful to two doctors. Please note them both. I believe that Alla Boykoff deserves not only 5 stars, but also the title of Honored Doctor. Thank you my dear saviors. wish you happiness, health and love! Peter and Sofia read more

20 minutes late to our video appointment and offered no acknowledgement, much less an apology, for this. had an awful internet connection and so we called her on the phone. This was all after we made an appointment a month ago for an in person visit. We were contacted yesterday (1 day before the appointment) and were told it would be online. Were promised multiple call backs but we had to chase down her assistant to confirm if the doctor would be able to provide referrals for blood tests and other basic services for my 61 year old mother. Were assured that she would. After being terrible communication, being late and having an unprofessionally poor connection, she became outright disrespectful, e.g. "have you ever been to a doctor's office in this country before?" and "your mother bought some insurance and thinks it covers everything?" She ended the conversation with "I don't even have time for this conversation, much less to make any referrals for you." I had to confirm, "Are you saying you are able but unwilling to make these referrals?" She proudly said, "Yes!" I haven't had a worse experience whether at the doctor's office, shoe store, or the DMV. read more

My mom needed an urgent referral. Dr. Boykoff my mom's PCP. Unfortunatelly Dr. is on vacation for the next 3 weeks... no one is picking up the phone. What do we do? Doc is on vacation! read more

I got suddenly sick and I didn't have a primary care physician. I found the list of providers that accepted my insurance and narrowed that list down by the yelp reviews. I thought I was hoping for a miracle that I wanted a same day appointment but I got it from Dr. Boykoff's office! Even though I was a new patient I only had to fill a half page of information and I was in soon after that. Dr. Boykoff seemed warm and knowledgeable; she listened to my concerns and answered my questions and wished me well at the end. I'm very happy with my visit :) read more

When I first entered the room I told Dr. Boykoff that I was having a panic attack. I started to cry and become short of breath. After she be-littled me for having a panic attack she laughed under her breath at how depressed I was. After she laughed at my depression I started to cry and become even more panicked. I asked her to please stop treating my illness like a joke. After I did that she started yelling at me, cutting me off and was calling me "irrational". I was only visiting that day to refill my birth control and tapper off my antidepressant. I just moved to California and she mockingly told me "If I had my doctor all figured out in Illinois then why would I have moved to California". She kept mocking me and several times during the visit I asked her to keep her voice down and stop yelling at me. My boyfriend (another witness to all of this abuse) was also trying to calm her down and ask her to stop being hostile and listen to ME. Dr. Boykoff then told me she wasnt going to direct her attention to me anymore because I was "crying". She then stopped treating me like a human and directed all her attention to my boyfriend and she called him the "rational one". I was completely rational, I was just reacting to the way I was being treated. After the visit was done I called back to ask for a number to complain, she then got on the phone, started screaming at me, cutting me off and said that she was going to "report me to my insurance". She then hung up on me. This has given me PTSD and I demand action be taken on her and her practice. She can't get away with treating her patients so rude. Screaming at them, cutting them off and then silencing them in mid doctor visit because I was "crying" completely unacceptable. I will add that I was calm the whole time, I was visibly nervous. I only asked her to lower her voice when she was screaming at me. As I mentioned before there was another witness to this encounter. My significant other tried serval times to calm the doctor down enough to where she wouldn't cut us off and stop yelling. read more

Initially - a very pleasant experience. I had a medical problem that could not be treated and Alla Boykoff listened to me. She was very understanding. However, an issue with billing came up several month later, and I was left a phone message by Alla Boykoff saying that I have been dishonest about paying her. I don't understand how - I paid all her bills. I am still confused . When I tried to call Dr.Boykoff and talk to her about it, she was not available. This remains unresolved until this day, and when I requested my medical records, I received a letter back telling me that I was never a patient at Alla Boykoff's office. This is my personal experience, and is not intended to insult or defame the office of this doctor in any way. I am only describing what I went through. read more

This doctor was initially very kind and agreed to take me on as a patient even though I was homebound. It worked out for her because of the geographical location of my house. At that time I was stable and didn't anticipate to get worse but I did. When I got worse and got into a hospital. Not only was I treated badly at the hospital but Dr. Boykoff decided to drop me - and I mean drop me like a hot potato - not to be affiliated with me in any way. She said - "I am not a social worker" and refused her services at the time I needed her the most. Make your own conclusions. read more

Avoid by all costs if you love yourself and your loved ones!!! That impostor missed important diagnosis that was mentioned three times in report narratively. Now three month later is a bit too late... read more

I know DR. Boykoff since 2000. My Mom of 97 became her patient first. Now all 3 of us are her patients, and we are happy to have her as our family doctor. She is always attentive, polite, ready to listen and to help. We couldn't get a better doctor !!! I recommend her to everybody !!!! read more

I've had a lot of doctors but I always felt that I needed to second-guess what they said. With Doctor Alla Boykoff I finally feel that I can drop my guard and trust the advice that I'm getting. read more

Dr. Boykoff is an excellent physician. It is hard to find a good primary these days but Dr. Boykoff goes above and beyond! I didn't have any issues having her order a blood panel yet faced resistance when I was at Kaiser and have been told this isn't necessary, etc. From the best referrals to a simple flu shot she is compassionate, knowledgeable, receptive, and caring. read more

Don't go to this doctor. She's always on vacation and either misdiagnosis or just fails to catch issues all together, even when they are staring her in the face. Really shameful. Any positive reviews are fabricated you can be sure of that. read more

The doctor is great, but her office staff is so unbelievably rude you'll really wonder exactly how they manage to keep patients at all. I had a 104 degree fever for 3-4 days with all the regular flu symptoms. I called to get a prescription and her office insisted I see the doc. I told them "if you felt as sick and weak as I do, you wouldn't really want to take 4 buses to get to Dr. Boykoffs office." The stupid receptionist said "That's not my problem, that's yours." I was stunned beyond belief, not because I had to go in, but because someone in customer service actually talked to a patient like that. Every time I see doctor Boykoff, I have to deal with her rude ass office staff. This is the last time! She has definitely lost me as a patient. read more

I actually really like Dr Boykoff, but her administrative staff has soured my whole experience with her as my PCP. The women who answer the phones 1) hardly ever actually answer the phones, 2) don't call you back for days or sometimes ever when you leave a message, and 3) are rude and unhelpful when you do speak with them. Again, Dr. Boykoff herself is great, but it is not worth it to have her as a doctor with such terrible hassle to get an appointment, medical records, or just about anything involving her administrative staff. read more

Alla Boykoff is an excellent physician and a very fine human being. She is competent, and thorough. You can count on her f you need an intelligent and caring doctor. I agree with the previous reviewer. I also bragged about this doctor and a couple of my friends have now become her patients. they have been impressed by the level of attention they they received in her office as well as her availability to help at any time. read more

I became a new patient of Dr. Boykoff's in January. I tried to schedule a first appointment with her at the beginning of February. She informed me that she was too busy, but could call in my needed prescription without seeing me. Ok, sounds great. In March, I contact her offices again to schedule a first appointment, and to get a referral for an orthopedic (I have early onslaught arthritis in both my knees). My knees (which have gotten much worse over the past week) were in such pain that I told the office I needed that referral asap, but am more than willing to have a first appointment with Dr. Boykoff. Her assistant (?Tamila?) told me that Dr. Boykoff could not see me before mid-April and could not provide me with an orthopedic reference. I told her that I was moving (50 miles south) in less than 3 weeks, this referral was very important and I would come at nearly any hour of the day to help facilitate our meeting. Her assistant told me no and then hung up on me! Now, the office won't even answer my calls and have no interest in helping one of their patients. I will find another doctor, but not without telling all of you - DON'T GO TO DR. BOYKOFF. Her offices are not interested in new patients and will offer no help when emergencies happen. read more

I've recently become a patient of Dr. Boykoff and I love her so far. Her office is very accesable to me since I ride public transportation and she even took that in consideration during the visit when recommending me to a dermatologist and gave me bus routes on how to get there! I came in with multiple things I wanted her to check out and she took the time to discuss everything with me and I never felt rushed. She even thanked me for becoming her patient! read more

I've seen Dr. Boykoff on a number of occasions over the years and have nothing but good things to say. She is patient and very thorough in her examination and diagnosis. Visiting her office is a much more personable and enjoyable experience than being cattle-herded through the line at a large hospital. I can highly recommend this physician for your general internal medicine needs. read more

I rarely write reviews, but I had to put in my two cents because Dr. Boykoff is the BEST! I've never had a doctor that is so genuinely interested in what I have to say and cares about my overall well-being. Before each appointment she talks to me about my general health- Do I have a good dentist? When is the last time I had my womanly exam? She takes her time with me and I never, ever feel like she's in a rush to get out of the room. She even called me herself after she had referred me to a specialist, just to check up on me to see if I was ok because she was concerned. Unheard of. It can really be a struggle to find a doctor you trust, which is why Dr. Boykoff is such a gem. I have recommended her to several of my friends and would recommend her to anyone. read more

I became a patient of Dr. Boykoffs last year and found her to be a really good doctor. She had excellent bedside manner and spent the time to talk to me and understand my medical problem. This is typical of Doctors who were originally trained in Europe where the patient always comes first. She even called me on my cell phone a few days later to check up on me! That was amazing. I highly recommend her. read more

Dr. Boykoff is great. She really listen to her patients and sincerely cares about their well being. We didn't have a difficult time booking an appointment with her, unlike what other reviewers are claiming. read more

In my opinion Alla Boykoff is the best doctor our family could have! Me and my husband both are so happy to have her. Dr. Boykoff always listens, never rushing like other doctors. Aways finds the best solution. She is the nisest person, very knowledgeable and intelligent. I would highly recommend her. read more

Great primary care physician. Dr. Boykoff is wonderful, very patient and very kind. I would highly recommend her.

We called earlier in the day and I took my mom later on the same day to see Dr. Boykoff, they were very accommodating to try and get us in on the same day. Even though the appointment was very late in the day 4:45 pm, she was very patient and professional and listened carefully and provided a good diagnosis. She was sincerely compassionate, which was very strange as this was the first time where I felt as if though the doctor really cared. At the end of the visit she charged us less than what her administrative stuff told us when we scheduled the visit (we paid cash) ... She knew what price we were supposed to pay, but she purposefully chose to charge us less ... first time i ever had this happen. The amount we paid was a fraction of what other Dr. offices asked for the initial visit. In the end she ended up giving my mom worth of medications which when added together were more expensive than what we paid for the visit. I can only assume that she likely gets the meds at a discount or something, but regardless, no other Dr has ever given me anything for free. I would highly recommend Dr. Boykoff - she is a great Dr and more importantly a really good human being. read more

I became a patient of Alla Boykoff recently... I never seen a doctor better than she is. I very thank her for her professionalism, warm atmosphere and understanding! She is the best! read more

My mother chose her for her doctor, but she is the rudest doctor ever possible. My mom had a cold, and went to see her for the first time. Right away the doctor said, "oh no no, you have to wear a mask right now. I don't want to get a cold from you." and refused to speak to her until she wore one. Aren't doctors expected to deal with patients who have the common cold? The receptionist was also really rude and mean. The whole office is full of Russians, and they barely speak English, and only cater to their Russian patients first. I tried calling her for a query later, since Mom's sleep doctor required her primary physician to contact him directly. She refused to call my mom's sleep doctor! Was very rude, and said this is not an urgent matter, and I won't help you out. My mom tried calling her again the next day to talk to her personally, and the doctor replied with "Don't ever call this number again." How rude is that! I think and wish her license would be revoked. She does not know how to speak to patients. read more

I needed a doctor also quickly and called different ones in my insurance list. Dr. Boykoff was the only one that was quickly available. I was glad to become her patient after the first visit as she spent a lot of time explaining all the services available to me. She did not rush me through the motions at all. She has since answered many of my phone calls whenever I had a concern and does have great bedside manner. She is a great doctor and I would recommend her to any of my friends or family. read more

A friend that happens to be a doctor recommended Dr. Alla Boykoff. She is compassionate, listens, thinks and advises solutions that I found acceptable. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Boykoff's for a few years and I only have positive things to say about her and her office staff. All my calls have always been returned promptly and her office staff has been great at sending in all paperwork I needed about my medical problems. Dr Boykoff is always friendly, knowledgable, very thorough and quick to respond to any concerns I've had. read more

I do not write a lot of reviews - but I did want to share my opinion of Dr. Boykoff. She is a person who genuinely cares about her patients and takes time to listen. I have been a patient of Dr. Boykoff for many years now. Being a physician myself- I can really appreciate the depth of her medical knowledge, but the most important thing for me is that she always finds time to be very attentive and responds to phone calls within a very, very short time- even on a weekend or her day off. read more

She even called me on my cell phone a few days later to discuss my lab results.! . I highly recommend her . read more

I was pleased by the way how Dr. Boykoff handle emergency situation with my mother in-law who is her patient. We got all the necessary help and referrals all on the same day. Her staff was very nice and I am very thankful to her for such a quick and attentive response. Great experience! read more
