In my experience with him, he always, yes always, listened to my concerns and addressed them promptly. I was seen by him before, during and after transplant. Dr. Barager also strongly advised me to be seen by the transplant Nephrologist when I ran into a medical concern. I would recommend him to anyone who is in search of a Kidney doc. I have since moved from Cali and am being followed by another awesome Nephrologist, but truly appreciate all the care and concern I received from him and his staff! Miss you guys!

After the passing of my longtime GP of over a decade, I was understandably anxious about finding a…read morenew doctor I could trust. I'm very grateful that my insurance referred me to Dr. Gaytri Manek. From my very first visit, Dr. Manek and her staff made a wonderful impression. Everyone was warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive, which immediately put me at ease during what could have been a difficult transition. Dr. Manek took the time to listen carefully and approached my care thoughtfully. I especially appreciated her conservative approach to prescribing medication--it gave me a lot of confidence in her judgment and reassured me that she prioritizes patient well-being over unnecessary treatments. Instead, she strongly encourages healthy habits like proper nutrition and regular exercise, which aligns perfectly with the kind of care I value. I left my appointment feeling heard, respected, and confident that I am in good hands. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Manek to anyone looking for a compassionate and knowledgeable general practitioner or kidney specialist.

She is knowledgeable, clear, and genuinely caring, and she always makes me feel like she is on my team. She offers practical, realistic suggestions and takes the time to think things through, rather than just rigidly following insurance guidelines, which helps me feel heard and respected. In a time when it's hard to find doctors who are actually practicing thoughtful medicine, she is a diamond in the rough--especially in an HMO setting. I'm so incredibly thankful for her!

Over the past decade, Dr. Wechsler has been the cornerstone of my mother's healthcare journey. Providing consistent, high-quality care for 10+ years is a feat in itself, but doing so for a patient who is admittedly stubborn and historically resistant to medical intervention requires a level of patience and dedication that is truly rare. The transformation in my mom's perspective is a testament to their extraordinary bedside manner. While she once dreaded medical visits, she has truly become their "biggest fan." This shift is a direct result of the time Dr. Wechsler and Nurse Aline take to explain every clinical detail with precision and care, proactively ensuring she feels empowered and secure in her treatment. Their commitment to her well-being has never been confined to the office. During her three separate hospitalizations, including the most recent 30+ day stay due to a stroke, they checked on her daily, providing a continuity of care that gave our family immense peace of mind. The seamless coordination within this practice is remarkable. On behalf of our entire family, we want to thank Dr. Wechsler, Nurse Aline, Dr. V, and Dr. Ozuzun for working collectively to provide such a high standard of advocacy. Also, a huge thank you to Kristi, Jessica, Christine for the many years of stellar service they've provided. This team exemplifies the highest standards of patient-centered care and represents the very best for their compassionate service.
