He's compassionate and cares and has knowledge beyond his seemingly Dorian Gray genes... I mean does this guy ever age? Anyway, his eagle eyes found two hitchhikers in my colon that could have become dangerous, but lucky for me, he's the best and I'm on the mend. The office answers questions via email very promptly and are on top of everything. The worst part of a colonoscopy is the prep and even that is made easier with Dr. Makhani's guidance and care.

Dr. Shamci will definitely receive 5 stars from me! I recently had an endoscopy with Dr. Shamci,…read moreand I can honestly say he is one of the best doctors I have ever seen. Before meeting him, I had visited five other doctors in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills, and they all told me that I had a pre-cancerous condition. Dr. Shamci carefully reviewed everything and told me that they were wrong. I am incredibly grateful for his knowledge and expertise. Dr. Shamci is extremely patient, kind, calm, and knowledgeable. I am not always an easy patient, but he was so understanding and reassuring throughout the entire process. He also has a great sense of humor, which made me feel much more comfortable. His knowledge is unbelievable, and his office staff are just as wonderful--professional, caring, and attentive. I highly recommend Dr. Shamci to anyone looking for an excellent doctor. I am truly grateful to have found him!

I never had long wait times for my appointments, communication was excellent, and they stayed on top of all the testing and follow-ups. Dr. Yamini also communicated with my primary care doctor to make sure everyone was on the same page.

Dr Leo Treyzon sets the bar very very high. He's a brilliant diagnostician,is held in high esteem…read moreby his peers, and is a perfectionist in the OR. Cedars was rated number 2 hospital in the NATION for GI Dept, that was when he was the chief of Dept. 2017-2018. He also is warm, kind and likes to decipher a complex case. He diagnosed me with MCAS, I had been sick for my entire life. Mayo missed it, everyone else just treated me for their individual specialty . Dr Treyzon looked at me not just as a GI case, but as a patient with a complicated history. This is his super power ! He went all out to help me, spoke with numerous other Drs, found specialty labs to do a test usually only done at Mayo or Brigham and woman's hospital in Boston. He's a very rare breed, intellectually gifted and a true healer. I know Dr Treyzon well, he took care of my elderly father with compassion. He is worth waiting for. If he is unsure about an issue, he will tell you. But by next visit he will be almost an expert. I rarely trust anyone but I trust, respect and like him without reservation. Wendy

This was the worst experience our family has had with a physician. We are furious and very…read moredisappointed. My mother reported ongoing stomach pain for approximately three months and repeatedly sought help. During one of her visits, she specifically asked about her pancreas and whether everything looked okay. She was told it was "fine" and was prescribed antibiotics because she had SIBO. No imaging was ordered to further evaluate her persistent symptoms. Months later, she was diagnosed with what appears to be advanced pancreatic cancer. I understand that not every patient with abdominal pain has pancreatic cancer, and I know hindsight is easier than diagnosis. However, persistent symptoms deserve a thorough evaluation, especially when a patient continues to express concern and specifically asks about her pancreas. We were left feeling that her concerns were dismissed rather than fully investigated. I hope this review encourages the practice to listen carefully to patients, take persistent symptoms seriously, and consider appropriate imaging or specialist evaluation when the clinical picture doesn't improve. No family should be left wondering whether an earlier workup could have made a difference.

I never imagined I'd write this review after 10 years of a wonderfully positive…read moredoctor/patient/staff relationship, but now that this office has sent me to collections for $130, I just have to get this off my chest. After months of turmoil, I ultimately switched doctors after being told by Dr. Tabib that he didn't go to medical school to be on the phone with my insurance company for hours. I had started a biologic treatment and there was an abundance of miscommunication following my initial treatments regarding my maintenance treatment. Dr. Tabib was the ONLY one that could straighten it out with my insurance company. I put in hours and hours on the phone with them as well doing everything I could to facilitate resolution. During one phone call he made it clear that once this was worked out and I had my medication straight, if *I* wanted to part ways, he would understand. Ms. Theo (front desk) was a big part of the miscommunication happening on their end, and when I tried to talk with her about it, I was met with abrupt rudeness, but that was never addressed either. Dr. Tabib refused to discuss it. I was in tears, by the way, as I truly felt abandoned by people I had trusted with my health during the most vulnerable moments of my illness. Once we parted ways, I thought we were done. I received a bill or two after that, and paid them. It had been a tumultuous several months, and I was relieved for it to be over. And now I'm suddenly getting calls from a collections agency months later. Very disappointing ending to this story.

Dr. Rahbar is a fantastic doctor. I had seen quite a few other gastro GI doctors who were, frankly,…read morenot helpful at all and almost dismissive before reaching out to Dr. Rahbar. I came to him after having wiped my GI microbiota from taking oral antibiotics and am currently suffering from SIBO / SIFO where I experience bloating, gassiness, headaches, nausea, combined with insomnia due to my discomfort. Dr. Rahbar has done a great job of listening to me, providing a comprehensive plan, and has a wealth of knowledge and is able to explain his plan and methodology in detail. He has great bedside manners and has an exceptional wealth of knowledge ranging not just strictly in the GI areas, but as well as expertise in the other organs and systems of the body. He has also helped to answer my calls numerous times when I had urgent health inquiries, even during off-business hours, without any complaint. Without him, I would be completely lost and hopeless with my condition. Though my treatment has not been quick and easy, he has helped to provide a clear plan forward to getting me back to health. Others have mentioned that he does not come cheap, but he is worth the price of knowing your health is in great hands.

When I finally was able to chase down an appointment, I was told that I would be seen as a new patient again. And the cost for an appointment as a new patient is $1695!!!!

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Nowain. I went in for a colonoscopy based on his great reviews…read moreand my consultation I had with him. I had previously chosen another doctor but cancelled after speaking to Dr. Nowain because he was head and shoulders better. He was extremely patient, knowledgeable, and reassuring. I had several other friends that highly recommended him. On the day of my procedure, Dr. Nowain was punctual and very comforting as he could tell I was nervous. He has an excellent bedside manner to go with his skills and credentials. The procedure went perfectly, and the doctor was right next to me when I woke up to discuss the results and share pictures with me. All in all, this was an amazing experience with an excellent doctor and I'm glad I did it. I highly recommend this doctor to everyone else. I have very high standards and I'm extremely picky and Dr. Nowain met and surpassed all my expectations. To everyone over age 40, please get colonoscopies. A 30 minute procedure could save your life. And better yet, get it with Dr. Nowain. The research I did showed he was much more effective at catching cancerous polyps than his contemporaries.

I'm keeping my original review for continuity. This update is to show, using my own documentation,…read morehow biased and prejudicial language in medical notes can permanently distort a patient's credibility and access to care. I count myself lucky I met my new GI doctor, although treatment is complicated now because of my worsening injuries. Over the past four years I've had time to study what happened, review my records, and talk with professionals who helped me understand how the bias in my care took shape. The pain I was in left me cognitively impaired for a long time, which made it hard to see how dismissive the treatment really was while it was happening. Because of the wording used in my chart -- phrases like "patient is convinced" and "very likely psychosomatic" -- it's very likely the kind of language that led other doctors to dismiss my concerns and assume the problem was psychological. My injuries worsened, the connective tissue in my abdomen continued to tear, and I lost muscle support through my torso. A genetic condition was also upregulated and my skin permanently traumatized. That language still follows me through my medical record and continues to influence how I'm treated. Nearly four years later, I'm still trying to recover from my injury and the physical and psychological damage caused by dismissive, biased documentation and the prejudice that began in this office. I'm including Dr. Nowain's original notes, and other records that corroborate both the intense pain I was really in, the celiac artery compression and soft tissue damage, and the continual gaslighting using prejudicial language to dismiss my accounts and leave me in pain and suffering. These are all before the injury worsened. I can still hear Dr. Nowain's voice from that day in his office -- angry, certain: "You're having a panic attack!" When I said I wasn't, he replied, "That sounds just like something someone having a panic attack would say." It still plays in my head like I heard it yesterday. So, I guess there's only one thing left to say. Best of luck in all your health journeys, and remember: "One foot in front of the other, bravely forward. Always."
