Avoid Dr. Oh if you have epilepsy or any condition where medication consistency matters…read more My experience with her has been rude, dismissive, careless, and medically dangerous. From the beginning, I found her condescending and unpleasant to deal with. After reading other reviews, that does not seem to be an isolated impression. The bigger issue is not her personality. It is the repeated failure to handle my epilepsy medication responsibly. Multiple times, my prescription was not renewed when it needed to be. In one instance, I was told her license had expired, and no one notified me for over a week. Because of that, I went two days without my epilepsy medication. That is not a paperwork mistake. That is dangerous. Epilepsy medication is not Tylenol. I cannot casually stockpile it because it is a controlled substance. Because her office failed to communicate properly, I had to drive around Los Angeles while experiencing auras and mini-seizures trying to find someone who could help me get my medication filled. That situation could have led to a full seizure, loss of my driver's license, serious injury, or death. When I explained this to her office, they did not seem to care. I was essentially told it was too difficult to notify patients about the license issue. That answer is disgusting. A similar situation happened again recently. I called her office and learned she had been placed on leave for the month, and once again my prescription had not been renewed. I had to go through urgent care just to get medication I should never have been left without. I was off my medication for more than a day again. A neurologist who treats epilepsy patients should understand that missed medication can be life-threatening. Dr. Oh's office treated it like an inconvenience. Based on my experience, I would not trust Dr. Oh with epilepsy care. I would not recommend her to anyone who needs reliability, urgency, or basic concern from a doctor. Her care has been dismissive, careless, and unsafe.

In 2015 I suffered a hemorrhagic stroke. I was in the hospital for several months and in that time,…read moreDr. Yafeh became like an extended family member. She is more than just a neurologist or doctor, she truly cares about her patients. You never feel like you are being rushed or that she needs to move on to her next patient. Dr. Yafeh always gives you her undivided attention, listens, and ask questions. I feel very seen and heard, and that is priceless! Having a stroke at age 42 was the scariest thing that has ever happened to me. Dr. Yafeh has been a key factor on my road to recovery. Additionally, the entire office staff at NeuroMedical Group are incredibly helpful and friendly.

Apparently all the reviews about their scheduling/desk staff is correct. I kept trying to use their…read more"hold my place in line" feature when calling in and never get a call back. After a week of this, I finally opted to just sit on hold. Turns out they never have a massive queue, the wait is never more than a few minutes. But the staff is an absolute nightmare. Today I spoke with "Hamza" and he talked really quietly unless he was talking over me (which he did the whole time) and refused to make any changes after I explained I have an Auditory Processing Disorder. He then put me on hold to speak to a colleague, left me on hold for nearly 10 minutes then returned to say I needed to send an email. I don't have an email address for them and when I asked why he couldn't schedule me if he's a scheduling operator is because his colleague said they needed my referral first. I told him I have a PPO and don't need one but I can provide contact for the 3 doctors that made the reco I speak to a neurologist if they need. He said his colleague thought I had an HMO - I asked why he would think that and he didn't answer just said he would schedule me. I asked with who and he gave a name I didn't recognize. I asked him to stop, please because it was clear there'd been some miscommunication. He hadn't even taken my insurance so he'd be scheduling blind AND I was calling to get the availability for a specific neurologist at their location. When he again interrupted and reverted to speaking at an inconsistent pace/volume I stated this clearly wasn't working and asked if he could transfer me to someone else. He said yes, put me back on hold, and then rerouted me to the main menu instead. With no other option I re-entered the queue for scheduling operators only to wait my turn and be hung up on. I have since called back at least 5 times, and tried an alternate number for the office I found online. Every time, I wait in the queue, and then when my turn comes, I'm hung up on. I'm sure Hamza thinks he's hilarious but I will be reporting the behavior to my insurance company, and the ADA at bare minimum. I guarantee this behavior is not limited to his phone interactions and if this is how he treats someone with an APD, I cannot imagine how he treats stroke survivors and those with significant cognitive impairment.

Dr. Farin is amazing and a blessing! After my husband's first emergency cervical spine surgery,…read moredone by another doctor, his condition continued to deteriorate. What followed was 6 months worth of Dr. visits, ER visits, a hospital stay, several MRI's, and lots of occupational & physical therapy sessions without any explanations for his continued decline and no offer of any solutions. During all this he began having violent seizure like tremors that were uncontrollable. We had just about lost hope when we were referred to a neurologist who then referred my husband to Dr. Azadeh Farin. At our first appointment with Dr. Farin she immediately recognized there was a serious issue and scheduled another emergency surgery. After performing this second surgery, the positive results could be seen and felt that same day. My husband has a long way to go but knowing he has been put in the care of such a talented and compassionate doctor brings us a lot of comfort. She is so caring and listens to your concerns. She takes the time to make sure you understand her explanations. To say we are grateful is a huge understatement! Sincerely, Mr. & Mrs. B. Kolstad P.S.

I'm almost 70 now, and I can still walk, claim stairs, and live a normal retired life. And his bedside manner is beyond legendary. When my late wife had a surgical emergency, I called him for advice. He got the best vascular surgeon in town, and made sure my wife had the best care possible. In 2005, when I had a quadruple bypass at Memorial hospital, who came in unannounced? Dr. Ceverha...cracking jokes and making sure I had everything I needed. Just a great, skilled doctor, and a helluva guy. I'd dare to say I can call him a friend. He's THAT good. BTW...He's retired.

My wife came under Dr. Yafeh's care after months of a frightening and rapidly progressive…read moreneurological illness. She had gone from being healthy and independent to suffering severe dizziness, slurred speech, loss of coordination, profound weakness, and eventually an inability to function normally. Despite extensive testing and evaluations at multiple facilities, we still did not have a clear explanation for what was happening to her. Dr. Yafeh did not give up on her. What stands out to me most is that Dr. Yafeh continued looking for an explanation when the obvious answers were not working. The records show that my wife had already undergone extensive brain and spine imaging, EMG testing, antibody testing and IVIG treatment without a satisfactory diagnosis or meaningful improvement. Instead of dismissing an extraordinarily complicated case, Dr. Yafeh pursued the possibility of a serious autoimmune neurological disorder. She treated my wife aggressively. Then came what our family considers the critical turning point. During this neurological investigation, imaging revealed a suspicious right axillary lymph node and an abnormality in the right breast. Dr. Yafeh continued to push the investigation forward, including biopsy of the suspicious lymph node. The biopsy ultimately revealed metastatic carcinoma, and the records show that hematology/oncology and breast surgery were brought into the case and chemotherapy was initiated during that hospitalization. Dr. Yafeh also recognized the potential connection between the newly discovered cancer and my wife's devastating neurological condition. Her documentation specifically describes the neurological symptoms as a paraneoplastic syndrome and anticipated that treating the cancer could help bring the neurological disease under control. That is why it is difficult for me to describe what Dr. Yafeh did for our family simply as "good medical care." From our perspective, her persistence helped uncover a cancer that had not previously been identified while my wife's neurological condition was becoming progressively disabling. At the same time, she treated the autoimmune neurological process aggressively rather than waiting for every unanswered laboratory test to come back. My wife subsequently began the long road toward recovery. Today, when I look back at how sick my wife was and how uncertain her future appeared, I cannot separate that recovery from the persistence, clinical judgment and determination Dr. Yafeh demonstrated during those critical weeks. There were many physicians, nurses, therapists, oncologists and other medical professionals involved in my wife's care, and I will always be grateful to them. But Dr. Banafsheh Yafeh holds a very special place in our family's story. She took my wife's condition seriously. She kept searching when the diagnosis was unclear. She recognized that something much larger could be occurring. She treated the neurological disease aggressively. And when evidence of cancer emerged, she helped connect the neurological and oncological pieces of an extraordinarily complicated medical puzzle. My family believes Dr. Yafeh helped save my wife's life. There are no words that adequately express what it means to watch someone you love begin to come back after fearing that you might lose them. For giving my wife that chance, and for giving our family hope when we desperately needed it, I will always be profoundly grateful to Dr. Banafsheh Yafeh. She has my highest possible recommendation and my family's lifelong gratitude.

After suffering a stroke and an AVM rupture last year, followed by a craniotomy, my entire life…read morechanged overnight. Before all of this, I was a healthy 30 year old who had never dealt with any major medical issues, so navigating recovery was completely new and overwhelming for me. Throughout this journey, Dr. Yafeh has been an incredible source of support, guidance, and I am still under her care today. She is one of the most compassionate and thorough physicians I have ever met. She regularly checked in on me, followed up when needed, and prescribed medications that helped significantly with the severe headaches I experienced after surgery. I am completely weaned off meds now. At the same time, she never made me feel pressured to take medications if I wasn't comfortable. Instead, she always listened to my concerns and worked with me to create a treatment plan that felt right for me. What I appreciate most is that she never rushes through appointments. She takes the time to answer every question and explain things in a way that makes sense. As someone who had never gone through anything like this before, I had a lot of questions, and she never once made me feel bad for asking them. She listens and makes you feel heard. Dr. Yafeh also took the time to educate both me and my husband about what recovery would look like and what challenges we might face along the way. She helped us understand how to navigate this new reality and gave my husband guidance on how he could best support me during my recovery. She has been incredibly helpful with disability paperwork, work restrictions, and helping me obtain modified duty so I could safely transition back to work. In addition, her staff have always been kind and helpful. Most importantly, Dr. Yafeh helped me regain confidence in myself after a life changing event. She helped me adjust to my new normal and reminded me to give myself grace during the recovery process. I am grateful for her expertise, patience, kindness, and unwavering support throughout one of the most difficult times in my life last year.
