I was very nervous and scared going through this process, but he made me feel heard, understood, and comfortable.

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.

We actually tried a…read morefew other internists when our insurance changed but both my husband and I returned to Dr. Quintana. He is whip smart, very up on current research, is happy to entertain your questions, practices old-fashioned medicine where your story is important, and cares a great deal that you lead a happy, healthy, and long life. When he wants me to do some sort of medical test or take a new prescription he says, "You'll thank me when you're 90 and still healthy!" He is honest, forthright, and kind. He gives excellent referrals when you need a specialist. Dr. Quintana has a computer app that he uses and it is easy and saves a lot of time. I can get any test results at the same time that he does. Unless he has emergencies, he answers any questions I put in the app by the end of the day and I get an email letting me know to look for his answer. We are both on Medicare, which doesn't reimburse very well for visits to internists, so we do have a yearly fee that we need to pay to make up for that. At first I was upset by this, but it has become very normal now for internists to have this fee in order to supplement Medicare. James at the front desk is always cheerful and ready to help.

He didn't run any tests and actually told me I was his "Problem Child" because I was asking him to help me get to the root of the symptoms. Because he is allegedly "highly regarded", I thought there was nothing I could do about the debilitating condition. I went to Dr. Lewis for my next visit. He LISTENED, ORDERED TESTS, got me TREATED, and gave me my life back! He was very responsive to my questions and even consulted with a specialist in my condition to ensure that I was getting the correct treatment. I suffered needlessly for a very long time because Dr. Stein didn't bother to do what, as a doctor, are the basics: Listen to the patient, order necessary tests, and treat the patient. Sadly, I do not recommend this arrogant doctor who didn't bother to help a patient with clearly defined symptoms that needed testing and treatment.

Dr. Stein is truly one of the best doctors I've ever known. He is thoughtful, responsive, and just…read moretop-notch! I have been a patient for decades, and his dedication to patient care is unmatched. It is true that his appointments are generally several months out, which speaks volumes about how highly he is sought after. However, the quality of care is worth the wait. In fact, I referred a friend to him who had a very negative experience--she got quite sick after a colonoscopy appointment elsewhere. She was so happy and relieved with her experience under Dr. Stein's care, confirming that he provides a superior level of service. While I have occasionally had problems with the office logistics--specifically, being deprioritized or placed at the end of the queue because I didn't require frequent visits--Dr. Stein himself has always handled things with exceptional personal care. When I brought the issue to his attention, he proactively gave me his personal email and told me to reach out directly if I ever needed to see him urgently. This kind of responsive, patient-first approach is what makes him so outstanding. He even fit me in immediately when I was about to have an insurance lapse. I recently received a letter in August stating that he is out on extended leave. I sincerely hope that everything is well, and I wish him the best.

As my condition continued, I was referred to Dr Robert Wolfe, a pulmonary specialist, at Cedars Sinai. I brought paper copies of some outside reports & images. His office staff was very knowledgeable and polite. When I saw Dr. Wolfe, 15 minutes later, the outside reports & images were already loaded onto my electronic chart. The doctor took a more extensive and comprehensive history than the other medical professionals I saw. He also reviewed all my tests results & images with me. Much more thorough than any other medical professional I had seen before for this condition. He also carefully listened to me explain my symptoms. He was able to immediately identify the problem and clearly detailed a plan for how to treat it, not only immediately, but also in the future. It has been 2 weeks since I saw him. I have been taking the medication and am feeling back to normal! Overall, I can understand why he is so busy. He was wonderful to deal with, very knowledgeable & thorough, professional, and I did not feel rushed at all.

Having stomach issues? Then run straight to Dr. Sherman…read more Dr. Sherman is the perfect combination of down to earth and friendly bedside manner with the smarts and intelligence of a modern physician. His office is located in the 3rd street medical towers at Cedar-Sinai, conveniently located to labs and imaging centers if you need any testing. Let's get straight to the point: when you're sick, what you need in a doctor is talent (check), smarts (check), convenience (check), and perhaps most important quality you need in a physician: dependability. Dr. Sherman doesn't let his patients down, he stands by them through the worst of their medical issues, working through different pathways until you have a solution. Of course he's busy. He's a great doctor. There's only so much of him to go around to everyone every day. But he will get to you, and not only will he get to you, he will get to you on time and usually exactly when he said he would. If you need a simple check up or if you have an ongoing and never ending chronic illness, Dr. Sherman is the doctor to see. My stomach problems will never end--these problems have changed, they've evolved over the years, and I will continue to have new problems (as long as I am lucky enough to stay on the planet), and Dr. Sherman is always there to help...thank god.

I am shocked there aren't dozens of reviews about Dr. Ruiz. He is one of the best diagnosticians I…read morehave ever met. After my beloved co-worker told me about a slightly holistic but NOT hippie doc across from our office who had put her on a whole new vitamin regime, I was intrigued. I decided to go see Dr. Ruiz for a full blood panel. Dr. Ruiz introduced me to the wonderful world of B12 and B complex shots - have you had one of these? They are awesome! I am officially hooked! Per my trainer's suggestion- I was driving to Encino for IV vitamin therapy since I felt so good after the B shots. Dr. Ruiz just told me he can administer the IV vItamins as well and he is minutes from my office. I am so grateful to have found him. His office is always pleasant and fits me into his schedule when I need to see him. Great doctor.

I highly recommend Dr. Joe Ruiz. He has been my doctor for over 25 years and although my company…read morehas changed insurance carriers throughout the years, I would never think of going to another doctor. He is extremely thorough, and remembers all the medical issues that I have had without referring to the charts.

Dr, Joe Ruiz correctly diagnosed all medical conditions and has a vast knowledge of new approaches to medicine. He understands the entire physiology -- mental, physical, emotional -- while maintaining a holistic approach. I truly believe that without having Dr. Joe Ruiz in my life, I would not be as health as I am today!

This review is long overdue…read more In Dec 2017, I went to see the doctor because he advertises that he specializes in MAT. When I first called to inquire about his services, I was told by a receptionist that he does quick consultations over the phone but the fee was a bit ridiculous. Just to confirm that he does offer MAT. I declined and made an appointment as I was desperate. Two appointments later, and still no MAT. He's always running late because he takes his time with each patient. When my lab work came back, I felt he was a little over the top regarding my anemia results. He insisted I go to an ER asap for a blood transfusion and called my colon surgeon to discuss my lab results. After seeing my colon surgeon, he high fived me when I said I felt Dr Jacobs was overly dramatic. Obviously, my surgeon felt similar. Actually, he said the same thing. He was also annoyed because Dr Jacobs performed a rectal exam and my surgeon said NO ONE but a specialist in gastroenterology should be doing that kind of exam on a patient with lower GI issues or disease. I had already felt uncomfortable during the exam, and after hearing that, I felt more violated. Even my husband was surprised. It's like, Stay in your lane! Nearly $1000 spent trying to get treatment for one thing, and I left with zero MAT and a rectal probe and a lot of what I felt was hysteria. Conversely, my gastroenterologist (not to be confused with colon surgeon) thinks highly of him, so it is up to you to take your chances. I felt I wasted an extraordinary amount of time and money trying to get treatment for something that is treated more straightforward by other doctors.

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.
