I want to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Bob Abrishami , my father's pulmonary doctor. His expertise is matched only by his compassion. He explained every step of my father's care clearly and always made sure we felt supported. His dedication has truly made a difference for our family, and we feel lucky to have him as our doctor. Thank you DOCTOR!!!! read more

Stay away from this clinic. In addition to very long wait times, the Dr is simply uninterested in seeing a patient even if specifically requested. After waiting for more than 2hrs for my turn, I was seen by the NP and was asked to wait for Dr Abrishami while he finished a phone call. Once he did, he went to see another patient in the next room while I waited for another 30minutes. I finally left and will never go back. Very unorganized, inefficient and unprofessional practice. read more

My first appointment took 3 months to get as they were booked solid. This required getting an extension on the authorization. I called and confirmed the day prior to my appointment. When I got to the appointment 5 minutes early, the room was packed. It took 90 minutes to finally be seen. I was not impressed by Abrishami. I came to him via my primary care doctor's referral for a sleep study. I explained to him the atmosphere of my bedroom to sketch an image in case there could be an issue with ventilation. His response was "Why are you telling me this?" it became clear this wasnt a people person or a person with much logic. However, I went along with it as I was still trying to gather information to ascertain. The action plan was to follow up in 3 weeks. I made the appointment with receptionist. Till this day, I cant pronounce her name. She has the bad bleach job on her hair and her first name begins with R. I explained to R that I have to be seen on time as that day of the week I work a double shift. The day before the appointment, I confirmed and reminded R that I have to in and out of there asap. I get to the appointment, I was the only one in the waiting room. I kept hearing a staff member instruct loudly in Spanish to what I believe may have been another patient, " Soopla - Soopla!" That means "blow" in Spanish. 50 minutes goes by and Im still the only one in the waiting room. I was then told by R that she doesnt know when they are going to see me. I reminded her that I would be leaving in 10 minutes. She proceeded to then state it was "beyond her control." Yet she was the one that controls the schedule and should have time managed better in case there was equipment that needed to be used on me. My response was simple, "Im leaving." I can understand any health practitioner may be run behind up to 20 minutes. 90 minutes is unacceptable. Worse, to then experience another lateness at the following appointment that went to waste, makes this office AMATEUR. No - I do NOT recommend this doctor or his staff. My primary doctor called his office to follow up. Abrahshami's staff relayed an apology for the inconvenience. However, I'd like to refer them to a better place they can stick their apology. read more

Please stay away from this Doctor. He is a FRAUD, a huge RACIST. He has been overcharging my insurance company and has made multiple thousand dollar claims. When I contacted them the front desk receptionist lady told me that these charges cant be possible and he was denying them at first as well. Once I had my insurance company fax me over everything and i showed him, he was speechless. He said that this was a mistake, and he'll contact them and have them reverse it right away. If my Insurance company never contacted me he would have made extra money (A substantial amount) and I would have never noticed. I had a deviated septum, but this doctor made it sound like I was about to die any day now if i didn't get it fixed, so i honestly acted very quickly and paid him to do surgery on my nose. And to be quite honest with you nothing has changed I still have very hard breathing problems maybe even worst especially when I sleep and my nose is actually a lot more crooked than it used to be. I just spoke to another specialist in Calabasas and have to get another operation to fix my nose thats been shifted to the right side of my face. Also during my visit I heard him speaking to another patient talking about how glad he is that Trump is going to get rid of all of these immigrants calling them "spicks" and "terrorist". And how black people need to get over themselves and black lives don't matter. And that's why they are in the position of their lives they are in right now. I felt really uncomfortable listening to all of this while I was sitting in the patient's room alone. I have nothing against Trump but when I hear someone speaking about other people the way this doctor was... It made me start feeling ashamed of being an American. read more

By far DR. BOB Abrishami the biggest crook. The office people have a major attitude. The Dr over charged my insurance by $7,800 When I got a report from what the insurance said I was being billed for it was all bogus. I had been in the Dr office for 3 mins he looked at my noise and said I have sleep apnea and would need months of treatment. I DO NOT HAVE SLEEP APNEA. Ive been to another top Dr who verified that thank gd Im fine. After looking over the insurance papers I see the doctor has been billing me for 6 months. Ive never been scheduled for and an appointment or been there since that 1 and only 3 min visit. I knew he was in for the money. Later I get a call from the office that we will send your file to collection if you don't pay the CO-PAY I was like what are you talking about. Ive never been there for 8 months and it was visit only. The Dr himself called me and threatened to report me to the credit bureau if I didn't pay him $200 X 6 months visit. Totaling = $1,200. He kept calling me with the same threat till I started getting calls from the collection agency. I told the collection agency I will never pay this scam artist Finally when the time came and I needed to check my credit I see he has really done this scam in away Ive never imagined. I called him today and he said if you pay me Ill remove the bad report on your credit. I donate or promote that nasty scam of his BEWARE SCAM CROOK THIEF SHADY FAKE MONEY HUNGRY DR read more

**Update** Just exactly what a doctor should be - patient, kind - good listening and understanding and knowledgable to figure out exactly what the problem is - not wasting your time or his time - yet, not rushing you. I've been seeing doctor for quite a few years now for sinusitis - he's actually the first one to hook me up with x-raying the schnoz-area. Excellent! As a new patient - this is the one place Im able to see Dr. for non-emergency within a few days. He's just a few blocks from my apartment. Felt like a truck smashed my face in as a sinus infection is creeping up. Thank me later for not clogging up the emergency room. hahahah. read more

I believe that Dr. Bob is an excellent physician who cares deeply about the health and welfare of his patients. He was referred to me by my brother. He has a very well-run office next to the hospital. I can recommend him with full confidence that he will treat you as well as he has treated me. I noticed a couple of negative reviews and find them preposterous. Dr. Bob has too much class to argue with deadbeat patients. My brother and I stand by him 100%. read more

This "doctor" is a fraudulent, disgusting, person. He should be shut down! I've had issues sleeping for months do I did some research, called this man, and thought I was in good hands. This guy didn't give me any help and still sent me a 700 bill. I've called them three times but they refuse to remove it. I don't know what to do. read more

I have no health insurance and called another practice and they wanted $250 for an office visit for resolving my lung secretions. They referred me to Dr. Bob and he was very smart and kind and only charged me $150. I highly recommend him. read more

On my first appointment, I left my medical notes with Lily Arriaga, who works on the desk. She said she would copy and put them in the mail. When I called to see where they were, she informed me someone had taken them home, This is illegal. I went for my second appointment today, Monday at 1 pm.. When I got there, Lily told me she had called me on Friday and left a message to say she had not received an authorization so I could not see the doctor. When I checked, she had called the wrong number. I asked her why she hadn't tried to get hold of me that morning to save me a very long trip. She said she was busy. When I complained, she walked out of the office, leaving the desk and phones unattended. When she got over her tantrum, she returned. I asked for my results from Quest (2 separate tests 3 weeks before) and she said they hadn't arrived. So Quest's usually efficient system had mysteriously failed twice? I asked her to chase up, which she did. After I had waited an hour, another member of staff checked and informed me the authorization for my appointment was there. All Lily had to do was look. She did not apologize. I finally saw the doctor and left at 3.30 pm. I had to call the doctor after my appointment. Lily answered the phone and left me holding on for 20 minutes. When I gave up and called back, the office was closed. I can only assume that she finds this kind of behavior entertaining. It's unlikely that Dr Abrishami will correct this behavior. He books 19 patients in an afternoon and doesn't have time to read things like patients' notes. When I needed a pre-auth for an inhaler, he told me he didn't have time for things like that. He said the only way I could get an inhaler was to make a 'cash appointment' ($250) and he'd give me a sample. In other words, he was selling me his freebies! Another review on here labels him a crook. Here here. This crook actually did me a favor. I started using an all natural inhaler which works better. I am drug free. So thank you to Lily and Bob for being possibly the most uncaring medical practice in Los Angeles. read more

As a new patient, I just left Dr Abrishami's office...his kind staff were helpful, his intern was wonderful and he was very good at listening and suggesting what needed to be done for the concerns I had. I didn't feel like the usual number getting in line for the pay off... he was most considerate and knowledgable. I would recommend him to my friends and family...my experience was nothing but a plus 5...He cares! D Day read more

From the first phone call to make an appointment as a new patient, to my first visit, my experience was wonderful. The staff is very friendly and efficient, and Dr. Abrishami is very personable and professional. He seems to be very popular though, so be prepared to wait to get your first appointment. read more

This Doctor is honest, caring, for your health. He definitely helped me, especially when needed the most. I who never come on social media highly recommend him for care if or when needed in his field of Lungs, Pulmonary Disease, and sleep medicine. Thanks Dr. Abrishami., and thanks to all who took the time to read this. Good health and God Bless to all. read more
