Pacific Palisades Medical Group has been my medical office for over 10 years, and I truly can't say…read moreenough good things about them. Dr. Gair and Dr. Ma have helped me through countless health issues over the years, and I've always felt heard, respected, and genuinely cared for. The office staff are incredibly kind, supportive, and responsive. Whenever I need help with medications, referrals, or getting in touch with my doctor, they act quickly and make the process as smooth as possible. What stands out most is how they treat you as a whole person, not just a patient. They take the time to get to know you, listen to your concerns, and provide thoughtful, compassionate care. Everyone there works hard to make you feel supported and valued. After more than a decade of care, I can honestly say they've been a 10/10 in every area. This isn't an exaggeration--they really are that good. They take care of my whole family too/ very grateful for them.

I have not felt well for many years and it has never been diagnosed so I am constantly bugging him for suggestions as to whom to see next.

Front desk (Brenda) demotes this 5 star doctor (Dr. Nourmand) into a 1 star practice…read more My gf has been seeing Dr. Nourmand for a while and she loves her. Unfortunately, her front desk is the reason my gf doesn't get the care she deserves. My gf has to call 6 or 7 times (leaving voicemails) sometimes before she gets a call back. I have to constantly see her stress about not hearing back or not getting her prescription refilled. There has been 2 situations where my gf just had to go to urgent care because she could not get a hold of the doctor or even a call back. Who is in charge of scheduling or answering phones at this place?! What kind of business is being run here? This doctor is a great doctor. I have met her myself and her care is amazing, but what's the point of being such a great doctor if it takes 2 months to make an appointment or have such a rude receptionist who never replies back. I am rating this on a whole, and as a whole, I am not happy with this place.

Update 6/5/22: Upon recently logging into the MyChart portal after seeing a new doctor, I noticed…read morethere was a "documentation" entry from February 8th, 2022. How interesting? That was the same day I had a problem with the front office about scheduling an appointment through the Mychart portal. I opened the documentation notes and low and behold the person I spoke with over the phone that day Cynthia, has taken it upon herself to add notes regarding our interaction. These notes paint a false narrative, were not added by my doctor, and do not in any way pertain to my medical well being. Cynthia has her name attached to the documentation, listed as Cynthia H. I think it is grossly unprofessional to have a front desk worker/scheduler add any notes to a patient's medical profile on the Mychart portal, that are not pertaining to patient health. Notes regarding a bad interaction on a telephone call have nothing to do with one's health. These types of notes should be entered into one's file in that specific office, not on the Mychart portal. Even after the numerous bad interactions I've had with front desk workers there, they have never added notes regarding these interactions to the Mychart portal, only Cynthia H. This kind of unprofessional behavior solidifies that I have made the right decision to move on from this office. I ran into Dr. Lily Nourmand in person last week at a birthday party and she was very pleasant as always. Again, it's unfortunate that front desk workers have the ability to ruin relationships between doctors and their patients.

Wanted to pull my review of Dr. Sorotzkin from 2009 into this listing since she's moved practices…read more While they are below (I think), the most pertinent part is: _____ "Dr. Sorotzkin is my primary physician and has been for eight years. She's been nothing but caring and practical, in addition to being a great diagnostician. She's gone the extra mile a number of times, and once in particular when I went in with severe abdominal pain and she "nailed" the diagnosis, called ahead to the ER with instructions, checked in that night and was persistent in getting me the surgery I needed when the on call surgeon was attempting to delay the surgery to the next morning (presumably because she wasn't wanting to stay later than expected). Dr. Sorotzkin's persistence paid off, and I got my surgery within the hour (around midnight). I'd recommend her to anyone. I rarely write reviews but when reading these (just found them after searching to verify the address) I was prompted to register and post because they are so at odds with my experience (see her at least three times a year for eight years). I think it's great how for common illnesses, they will work you in that day to see a physician's assistant who can do a basic exam and write prescriptions - or bring in a doctor if it's more serious. I've recommended her to others, all of whom had similarly positive results. I hate to see anyone like her get a bad rep - I've had many doctors in my life, in many parts of the country, and I'd rate her among the top."

Today I was treated very well and professionally by the woman at the right side of the desk. They previously were my only complaint about the office, and now I can focus on how fabulous Dr. Ruth Sorotzkin is! She reads the notes carefully from all the previous visits I've had, offers suggestions for preventative care, listens well to my input and quickly follows up with an Rx or an Imaging Request. She's fun, she's funny, and she's clever on top of being a thorough primary care doctor. I'm proud to have her as my PCP.
