Why the low star review? What could improve? Communication! It is very frustrating trying to speak…read morewith a live person in this office. No one picks up the phone. If you do call and you choose to leave a message it says that you'll be called back the next day. What is that? What kind of system is this! It's really not hard to pick up a phone and answer. This is a big deal for me and my family. When calling a doctors office I expect someone to answer the phone so you can actually talk to someone and not have to leave a message. Sometimes it's a really quick brief question that can be answered in less than a minute. It's really unfortunate. The doctor is nice, but trying to reach anyone in this office is not.

The communication is the worst I've been waiting literally 2 wks for results for my MRI. They say…read morethey'll call back within 24hr I'm on week 2 and 3 messages in and nothing.

I have been struggling with mysterious and increasingly severe neurological symptoms for 9 months…read more My regular doctor kept telling me it's nothing, just my thyroid. He kept saying he didn't think I had anything, nothing to worry about, etc. Went to the ER twice (6 months apart as my symptoms kept getting worse) and I was so mistreated and told I "just had anxiety". Dr. Platzer asked so many questions and really grilled me on everything I was experiencing. Finally, after multiple CAT scans and a couple MRIs and bloodwork, Dr. Platzer has cracked the case: Lyme disease. Traced it back to what I thought was the worst flu of my life 9 months ago. 9 MONTHS I went undiagnosed, even with my insistence that what I was experiencing was NOT NORMAL. I cannot thank Dr. Platzer enough. She's a really interesting lady, and now, my hero...

This review is a long time coming due to the recovery I had to go through because of the negligence…read moreof Dr. Platzer. I went to Dr. Platzer because I was having diplopia, double vision and severe pain around my left eye. She was convinced it was migraines, even though I told her I never had a history of migraines in my 50 something years of life. I was concerned that I had a brain aneurysm and she said that she was certain this was migraines and would not order an MRA for me. As the pain and the vision loss progressed through months of agony, many calls to her crying and begging for help,, and eventually being told that maybe I just didn't want to get better, because if I did then the medications she prescribed me would have worked, I decided to go out of Insurance and see a private Dr who ordered the MRA for me. My insurance denied it, and I needed to get my records from her to have further proof that this was ongoing. What I found in her records, I did not even recognize. She said I was taking medication's that I was not taking. She said that the pain was all over my head when I told her it was exclusively around my left eye. It was as if my notes were about a different patient. In all of that pain I had to actually go into the office to pick up the notes because they told me that they did not have a way to send them to me. When I emailed and asked her to please correct the notes and gave her line by line all of the items which were absolutely incorrect so that I could get the scan done. Her exact words were that I was nit picking. I had to pay out-of-pocket almost $4000 for my MRA and I had a very large posterior communicating artery aneurysm, which any neurologist should know causes diplopia and pain around the eye. The aneurysm was so scary that I was in surgery within hours of the results of my MRA coming in. shortly, after coming home from the hospital, I received a certified letter from her telling me that she was dropping me as a patient....As if I would ever Grace her doorstep again. I did send an email after finally getting home from 7 days in the hospital letting her know what her negligence had caused me. If you do have migraines, maybe this so-called doctor can help you, but if you are concerned that you have something more serious run the other direction. I had children in middle school and lost 18 months of my life to pain and suffering because of her negligence.

Went to California Brain & Spine Center after a concussion that left me with headaches, brain fog…read moreand dizziness that were not going away. Dr. Chizari is the real deal. First visit was a long, thorough exam, not a quick five minute look. He walked me through what was actually happening in my brain and why I was feeling the way I was, and it was the first time anyone explained it in a way that made sense. His background is what sets him apart. Engineering degree, master's, chiropractic doctorate, postdoctoral clinical neuroscience training, and he is board certified in chiropractic neurology. You can tell he actually understands how the nervous system works instead of just following a protocol. He also does not overpromise. He tells you what to expect and why. Clean modern office in Calabasas, easy to book, staff was friendly and on time. If you are dealing with post concussion symptoms and getting nowhere, this is where I would start.

Dr. Chizari is professional, kind, and gentle. His clinic is…read morequiet, peaceful, and beautifully designed, with calming music that makes me feel like I'm at a spa. I came to accompany a friend who is being treated by him, and she is extremely satisfied. After other doctors said everything was fine, he was the one who found the real issue and helped her significantly. He's a true expert and uses advanced equipment. He welcomed us warmly and explained everything patiently. The clinic is spotlessly clean and offers full privacy,we were the only ones there, and there are several treatment rooms to ensure each patient receives individualized care. Oh, and in the waiting area, there's a massage chair, tea, and books, it's the first time I've ever seen a massage chair in a waiting room! It made me feel truly welcomed, and the massage was amazing. There's such peace and quiet here, I truly feel like I'm in a spa. I'm even working on my laptop in the cozy waiting area, and it's such a pleasant atmosphere. Dr. Chizari even took the initiative to ask if I had internet. At first, I was using my phone's hotspot, and he immediately offered to connect me to the clinic's Wi-Fi. He's attentive to every detail and genuinely cares about the needs of everyone who walks through the door. also really love this area in general, there's convenient parking, and the neighborhood is quiet, upscale, and pleasant. Definitely a 5-star experience.

From the moment you meet her, you can sense that she is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but deeply compassionate. She listens with genuine care, never rushing you, and makes you feel like your concerns truly matter. In a field as complex as neurology, having a doctor who takes the time to understand the whole person, not just the symptoms and that is invaluable. What stands out most about Dr. Levyim is the way she advocates for her patients. You can feel that she is rooting for you every step of the way. She approaches each appointment with empathy, patience, and an extraordinary depth of expertise. She explains things clearly, answers every question thoughtfully, and ensures you feel supported and understood. In a healthcare system that can sometimes feel impersonal, Dr. Levyim is a breath of fresh air. She leads with both brilliance and heart, and it is evident that she genuinely cares about the wellbeing of the people she treats. I feel incredibly grateful to be under her care. If you are looking for a neurologist who is not only exceptionally skilled but also deeply human, compassionate, and devoted to her patients, Dr. Levyim is truly outstanding. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Dr. Levyim is the Sherlock Holmes of Neurologists. After a series of misdiagnosis after…read moremisdiagnosis by doctors at major hospitals (including UCLA and Children's Hospital), we took our child to Dr. Levyim and she literally saved her life. When something doesn't make sense, Dr Levyim just can't let it go. Twice, Dr. Levyim referred us to other specialists who gave our child a clean bill of health and twice Dr. Levyim told us "something just isn't right." On the third try Dr. Levyim referred us to a specialist who found an easily corrected fatal birth defect in less than 10 minutes. Why, because this 100% lethal birth defect is this doctor's specialty. So while we owe our daughter's life to the specialist, we owe our daughter's life a 100 times more to Dr. Levyim... because, if it wasn't for her, we would have convinced ourselves all the other doctors were right and we were being paranoid. If it wasn't for Dr. Levyim we never would have been referred to subspecialist after subspecialist until we found the one familiar with our daughter's congenital condition. And, if it wasn't not for Dr. Levyim, our daughters would have died in her 20's... she can now expect to live a normal lifespan. THANK YOU Dr. Levyim!!!
