I am extremely disappointed with the care my 3-year-old daughter received at Sherman Oaks Hospital…read more I brought her in because she was clearly not feeling well, and at her age she cannot fully explain what hurts, which makes proper evaluation even more important. During our visit, no doctor ever came in to speak with me--only a nurse. No testing was done at all. They simply checked her blood pressure and heart rate, assumed it was constipation based on my concern, and sent us home with a laxative. Two days later, I took her to her pediatrician, where they immediately did a simple throat swab and diagnosed her with Strep throat. This is something that could have and should have been caught during our hospital visit. It is incredibly frustrating and upsetting to feel like my child's symptoms were dismissed and not properly evaluated. When it comes to young children--especially those who cannot clearly communicate their symptoms--more thorough care and attention is critical. I would not recommend this hospital based on our experience.

I said Sharon was really helpful the other day, meaning when I called for an appointment. Sharon led me to the medical room, took my blood pressure (120/74?), gave me an EKG. When she left I raised the curtain to check the view. Somehow the wide windows and trees make the freeway and onramp look attractive. While waiting, I skimmed the "Good Nutrition" brochure. When Yesenia arrived she gave me what I most want and need: information. Other professionals often just sit typing at the computer, silent. Yesenia kept me fully apprised; admitted she was consulting AI. That's okay with me, I said, as long as an intelligent mind is sorting the response. Yesenia does all those things, so when searching for a word of thanks, I could only acknowledge her as "Exceptional." You run a great office, Dr. Shenkman.

It has been well over ten years since I've started seeing Dr. Ben-Zur for heart related care. I can…read moresay without any hesitation he is the most capable, compassionate, caring doctor I have ever been to. Not only that, his staff is equally amazing. It all started 15 years ago when my brother died of sudden cardiac death. Additionally, I have an acute family history of heart related disease and an extremely high coronary CT calcium score. This set me off on a quest to find a cardiologist. I went through a handful of cardiologists before finding Dr Ben-Zur. Since I'm completely asymptomatic, most of them just handed me a bottle of statins, padded me on the back and told me to come back in 6 to 12 months. Not Dr. Ben-Zur! He knew I was a "ticking time bomb" if I didn't change my lifestyle immediately. And that's when my education with the doctor began. Not only does he carefully and thoroughly treat me medically, but he was persistent with educating me on how I must change my lifestyle. No matter how long it took he never gave up on me. With these lifestyle changes in place and under his care I often feel I have possibly avoided some type of cardiac related event. The way Dr. Ben-Zur runs his office is unlike anything I've seen. He is fantastically thorough and detailed in the way he treats his patients, ensuring no detail, no matter how small is not missed. The minute you arrive at his office his staff takes you in immediately. You never wait to be seen. There was an incident once where I was concerned about how I was feeling. I went to his office without an appointment where he took me in right then and there. If one is looking for a cardiologist I find it hard to believe you could get better care from anyone or anywhere else other than Dr. Ben-Zur and his wonderful staff.

Each time he checked on his team and explained to me what the next step is and why. At the end of my visit the Doctor took his time to go over all the tests, forward RX to my pharmacy, order more tests and set up a visit with him the following day (usually it takes me weeks before I can see my other doctors for follow up).

Since that time, until a year ago, I never felt quite right or 100%. In October 2023, I had two heart events that put me in Holy Cross Hospital in Los Angeles. My blood pressure was insanely high and I had trouble breathing. Dr. Rodney Samaan was assigned to me as my cardiologist for my stay. He was able to diagnose my symptyms and what medications would help me. Since my release from the hospital, I have been in Dr. Samaan's care. The combination of prescriptions, vitamins and an active health plan, I have felt much better than I ever have. As long as I follow his direction, I am able to do things in my life that I was limited to before. His staff is courteous, professional and compassionate. Dr. Samaan is always reachable, which for someone who has a heart condition like me, is it imperative. I would never trust any other Doctor as much as I trust Dr. Samaan.

One of the worst medical experiences I've had. Leaving a one-star review is not something I do…read moreoften, but this was warranted. I came to this office for a heart concern and general internal medicine support. While the staff and doctor were amiable, this review isn't about personalities - it's about the professionalism and operations of the practice. At one point, the office even left me a voicemail clearly meant for another patient which is a HUGE privacy/competency concern. I arrived for my first appointment, filled out forms, and waited in an empty waiting room for AN HOUR. One person came in after me yet was seen first. I got tired of waiting and said I was gonna leave. Suddenly a room was available. I was told the wait was long as rooms were occupied, yet I never saw a single patient exit (and one magically became available? Interesting!). While in with the doctor, I explained my heart and general health concerns. He listened to my heart for maybe 2 seconds. After that "thorough" exam, he reviewed labs I brought in, listed off supplements to take, and suggested I buy them directly from him (red flag). I found some of his conclusions odd so I reviewed the labs when I got home and realized he read them incorrectly and prescribed things for issues I don't have. If he didn't understand the labs, he should've said so instead of prescribing inaccurately. He recommended a blood draw in-office. I mentioned that cortisol testing should be done in the morning and while fasting, but my appointment was in the afternoon and I had eaten. He said it was still fine. I gave him a list of labs I needed, and he said those would be ordered along with others he felt necessary. I had the labs drawn and left. When the results came back from Quest, there were immediate issues. Some tests couldn't be completed due to "no suitable specimen received" (whether this was the office's fault or Quest's, I don't know - but this has never happened in all my years doing labs there). Cortisol also came back flagged. Shocker! Multiple labs I was told would be ordered were missing. When I asked the office about it, I was told they had been ordered and there must've been a mistake. I called Quest myself and found out they were never ordered. When I spoke to the office again, I was then told that the doctor didn't feel comfortable ordering them in the first place. So I caught them in a lie. I was lied to by both the doctor (who said he'd order the labs), and by the staff (who said the labs were ordered when they weren't). This is how they operate? YIKES. Additionally, the doctor never went over the labs that did come back. Does this practice expect patients to review them on their own? I had to upload mine into ChatGPT to interpret them for me. The whole point of labs is to inform a care plan with your doctor. The doctor said he would "help me," offered "solutions," and suggested labs, yet followed through on none of it. Contacting the office was difficult. Calls went unanswered 9/10 times. When I finally got through after multiple attempts, I shared what Quest had told me. That's when I was informed the doctor won't order the missing labs he initially said he would. I requested that it be documented in my chart that my request for these labs was denied by the physician. I was then told he could no longer help me (after previously stating--completely unprompted--that he would), and that I should see another doctor. Once I began advocating for myself, it became clear this office does not respond well to informed or proactive patients. At best, this experience was disorganized. At worst, it felt dishonest. If you have a straightforward concern and don't plan to ask many questions, maybe this is the right place for you. If you value transparency, honesty, clear communication, and take an active role in your health, I'd look elsewhere. All of the above are facts and not opinion. I shared in detail because I believe patients deserve transparency. I have records and documentation of what I mentioned should the need arise or there be any attempt to refute this review.
