I was only referred to Dr Fittingoff because it was just my luck that his colleague (who I was…read moresupposed to see), had died the day before I called for an appointment. He would be my sixth endocrinologist since my T1D diagnosis, so I was already used to the "shame game" that I know all diabetics feel at some point. Right off the bat, he questioned how I was prescribed Ozempic. Umm, one look at my medical history, chart, and labs, would have answered your question, bro. At the next appointment when discussing why my BG was spiking after dinner, his medical advice to me was "You can always eat less." You don't say? Gosh I hadn't thought of that?! This guy reminded me of that old dinosaur tv host guy in Mrs. Doubtfire and needs to retire. Luckily he stopped taking my insurance. Not to mention the drive to his office from Burbank was brutal. See anyone else if you can.

He didn't rush me at all -- we spent a full 45+ minutes together, and he made sure I understood everything. He listened carefully to my concerns, asked thoughtful follow-up questions, and never made me feel like I was just another appointment on the schedule. That level of patience and presence is so rare these days. What impressed me most was how up-to-date he is. He referenced the latest research and studies (some from just the past year), explained the science in plain English, and showed me why certain approaches are now preferred over older ones. It was obvious he's someone who stays current with medical advancements rather than practicing on autopilot. I left feeling genuinely informed and empowered, not confused or dismissed.On top of that, he's incredibly caring and compassionate. You can tell he truly wants his patients to get better and feel supported. His bedside manner is warm, reassuring, and professional all at once. He treated me like a person, not a chart number. The staff is equally awesome.

On top of that, the office failed to disclose that they were out-of-network with my insurance, leaving me with another shockingly high bill that I was never warned about. I feel completely blindsided and misled by the lack of transparency and broken promises regarding my care and billing.

I then called my insurance company and made a complaint. I tried calling Lakeside Member Services to complain. I was put in line and then given a customer satisfaction survey to fill out. I chose the lowest rating for everything. Then I was disconnected. Do not use this medical center. They do not deserve your business.

She truly cares about her patients as whole people and takes the time to look at every aspect of women's health. She is always patient, kind, and thorough, carefully explaining the reasoning behind any decision, treatment, or procedure. What I appreciate most is that she creates a real, personalized plan with her patients that focuses not only on treatment, but also on prevention and long-term well-being. I genuinely feel that I'm seeing a doctor who truly cares about me and my health, someone I completely trust. Her team is also incredibly kind, professional, and welcoming, making every visit a positive experience. I only wish more doctors practiced with the same level of care, compassion, and thoughtful approach that Dr. Zafaranchi brings to her patients every day.

My experience with Dr. Shilita was extremely disappointing. Instead of listening to concerns and collaborating as part of a medical team, he became visibly upset when I requested a second opinion. He raised his voice and told me, "You just lost a great doctor part of your team, Dr. Mariam Bakhtary," which felt incredibly unprofessional and ego-driven. What made the situation worse was that Dr. John Li who I was made to feel was somehow a downgrade is actually Dr. Bakhtary's partner and was simply away on vacation for a few days before returning. The reaction I received for simply advocating for myself as a patient was inappropriate and uncomfortable. Patients deserve doctors who listen, communicate professionally, and prioritize care over pride. If something feels off, trust yourself and seek another opinion. Your health is too important not to.

Dr. Bellman made it a point to explain the procedure, walk through the paperwork, and explain the ins and outs of the procedure. The office staff, without pressure, allowed me to schedule at my leisure and requested date. The procedure itself was a quick and painless. Myself, opted in for the nitrous as a precaution, but before I knew it Dr. Bellman had completed his work and I was on the road to recovery. I have had no pain, iced for only the first two days, and needed no Tylenol. Procedure was done at 4:30p on a Thursday. I took Friday off as a precaution - but honestly could've come back to the office Friday. Kudos to the entire team for taking an uncomfortable (no pun intended) conversation/procedure and making it an experience worth recommending to anybody considering having it done.
