6 stars!! Words cannot begin to describe the gratitude I have for Dr. Siedhoff's expertise in…read moreendometriosis excision surgery as well as his gentle and compassionate heart toward his patients. I'm now 4 weeks post-op! His team is also PHENOMENAL. After trying to conceive for 2 years and being labeled as "unexplained infertility" - I did a biopsy called ReceptivaDX that came back positive for endometriosis. I don't live with chronic period pain so endometriosis was not suspected at all by any of my doctors. I saw Dr. Siedhoff's name throughout the internet when I first suspected silent endometriosis, so his office was the first one I called. Sarah was so kind and empathetic. She worked quickly to try to help me get scheduled with a consult with Dr. Siedhoff (one month wait) while also supporting me through the MRI ordering process. This was a Godsend as I've heard from others that Dr. Siedhoff's waitlist was LONG at Cedars. I'll never forget the validation Dr. Siedhoff made me feel after being dismissed for so long. I came in fully prepared to convince him I needed surgery. I mentioned I felt intense cramping when peeing or having bowel movements near ovulation or my period. He told me I didn't need an MRI because "with 2 years of infertility and a positive biopsy, I'm confident I will find all of the endometriosis." To him, my symptoms were not silent. I didn't need to convince him of anything. I also sent his office pages and pages of extensive testing I've done and he read in my medical report from my first ultrasound that I had a uterine septum. To be honest I totally forgot about it and I'm so thankful he proactively said he'd treat. I didn't want IVF to be seen as a backup for us and I wanted this surgery to be fertility-sparing. He met me where I was at. Of course everyone's anatomy and endometriosis placement and severity is different, but to feel safe in the care of a surgeon is everything. Angela helped me with scheduling my surgery date and they said I could have it in 1-2 months. My date was booked for St. John's Hospital in SaMo (also love this hospital). She assured me my insurance was all good to go and I'm SO thankful they took Cigna PPO. Marlene NP went over my pre-op instructions and literally gave me a play by play of what to expect. FOLLOW her directions for a smooth surgery! She answered every question I had and nothing felt too TMI. Rachel PA also called me the night before to check in to see if I had any questions. So sweet! I was the first surgery of the day at 7am (arrived at the hospital at 5:30am) and was slated for 2.5 hours but finished 3 hours and 15 min. They found stage 3 endometriosis. My left ovary was completely stuck to my pelvis and I had an endometrioma that was never found on all of my ultrasounds. There was endometriosis on my right ovary, bladder, bowels, rectum and my appendix was removed (with my prior consent) as it had old white endometriosis scar tissue on it. I could NOT believe it. Thank God I had an excellent surgeon like Dr. Siedhoff who knew how to handle complexities. He called my husband and let him know what they found and he said "We're confident we removed it all without disrupting the organ's function". AMAZING. I was discharged at 12:30pm and was on cloud 9 from all the pain meds. My recovery was SO smooth and I hardly felt much pain despite the gravity of the surgery. My incisions are tiny but mighty. I also really appreciate Dr. Siedhoff using new technology - you can tell he's staying on top of his game. They prescribed me a new painkiller that's not an opioid and it really did help me not feel a thing! He uses SYLKE dressings that stay on for the full two weeks and are waterproof so I didn't have to change anything or look at any healing wounds. I loved my first surgery experience (and hope I never have to have it again) but Dr. Siedhoff is literally my fave! All my endo friends are trying to go to him but I know insurance can be tricky.

I wanted to wait to review Dr. Siedhoff as my experience with him and his team has been too good to…read morebe true. I am now 5 weeks post op and can give a full review. I've had 3 c-sections and developed scar tissue that, over the past 8-9 years, had been growing in size and with that the pain increased. Over the years I have gone to many specialists, all who have said it is scar tissue from the surgeries and something I would need to live with. By chance, I was at a dermatologist for an unrelated issue and I asked her to check the mass and she sent me in for an ultrasound. From there CT, MRI and finally a biopsy. The mass contained endo cells which is why it was growing over the years. I also had adenomyosis and endometriosis. I contacted numerous specialists in my area, none of whom had experience treating abdominal wall endometrioma. My gynecologist and PCP exhausted their recommendations and didn't know where else to send me, so I started doing my own research. That is when I found Dr. Siedhoff. First off, his staff is top notch! I'm not sure what the hiring process looks like, but I'm sure it is rigorous because they are all amazing. I've never felt more comfortable or seen as I had in talking to his team. Dr. Siedhoff was out of network for me but Rick offered a pathway to coverage with the disclaimer that my case was strong for coverage, but there was a chance I'd be denied. I think that call was 30-40 mins long and Rick never once rushed me. I went ahead with the consultation and after meeting with Dr. Siedhoff, I was absolutely sure I needed to move forward with him. In working with Rick and Dr. Siedhoff's team, my insurance approved his care! I cannot thank them enough for fighting for me as hard as they did! After almost a decade of being misdiagnosed, I was finally on my way to being pain free. Surgery day went smooth and Dr. Siedhoff was present before and after to answer all of my questions. This might sound crazy, but I was in more pain before surgery than recovering from the surgery! I stopped ibuprofen after the second day. I felt 100% after week 2 post op which I took advantage of and my body pushed back. I went back to work and lifted boxes that I had no business moving which opened up my incision, but Dr. Siedhoff's team was available via text to walk me through everything. As if my experience couldn't get any better, after I took off the bandage along my waistline I saw that Dr. Siedhoff had removed my old scar completely! It looks as if I had a tummy tuck from a skilled plastic surgeon. Everyone will have a different experience, but I felt I needed to express my gratitude to Dr. Siedhoff and his amazing team! They truly changed my life.

I had been a patient of Cynthia Thaik for several years. At a certain point, I developed PVC's at…read morefirst they were minor. However, after some very stressful events in life my PVCs started to rapidly rise. Overall I would say outside of dealing with PVCs Dr. Thaik was through in testing and monitoring and providing options like nutrition as a means of addressing heart health. However, once my PVCs started to rise she wanted to immediately put me on medication. I was concerned of course but also wanted to understand the root cause. Why was I suddenly experiencing these PVCs. Rather than having other means to investigate she wanted me to start medication. When I asked if we could address other factors to find the root cause she became upset and even recorded a statement to dictate and record that I was not willing to start the medication right away. Needless to say that is when I stop going here. And also, happy to say that I'm proud for trusting my gut and getting several opinions. Which eventually lead me to less than 2% PVCs without out taking one pill or any procedure. It took a Dr. the was willing to observe me while I worked on addressing several potential root causes. I was bummed because before the PVCs w/o any issues she was a good Dr. Who offered meditation, nutrition and testing as options. But the holistic aspect of her approach is limited once a concern arises.

I've been a client of Dr. Dale's for many years. Initially, I was referred to him following several…read moremisdiagnosed gastric issues by a PHP and three ER doctors. Each of them minimized my symptoms with little to no concern regarding my pain level, despite having NO history of pain or pain management. Dr. Dale took one look at my extensive file and named what the condition was (rare infection), ordered a colonoscopy and found a potentially life ending intestinal blockage - one that was not seen by THREE clinicians prior. Dr. Prokupek saved my life and I've been seeing him for years. Now that he has moved into aesthetics as well, I can't say enough except that my friends, family and work colleagues always comment on the quality of my skin and lack of sun damage. Dr. Prokupek (and Josh's) use of IPL, Fraxel and Morpheous have had such a positive impact on my confidence. Whatever you do- when pursuing any kind of aesthetic procedure, GO TO THE PROFESSIONALS, not some strip mall set up like a factory. Get the right work done in the right way.

Initially seemed pleasant, but my experience here was disappointing. The appointments were…read moreextremely brief - I timed one at under 4 minutes. The one time I tried to ask questions about my treatment, the doctor became dismissive and seemed irritated. And then to discover this practice offers Botox and filler treatments/aesthetic treatments and runs an ADHD clinic - that's quite a range of unrelated specialties under one roof. This raised questions for me about focus on my actual healthcare. I strongly recommend carefully reviewing all insurance claims after visits here - as with any insurance. I noticed several charges that seemed excessive for the minimal time spent on my care. The rushed appointments and defensive attitude when questioned left me feeling like just another number rather than a patient. I ended up seeking care elsewhere and found a much better experience with a specialist who actually takes time to listen and address any issues. Would not recommend - there are better Gastroenterologists in Los Angeles who will give you the time and attention you deserve.

Dr. Jacobson is a lifesaver. I have been in his care for over 20 years now. I first saw him in…read moreNorthridge because he was the psychiatrist my insurance company was contracted with. Immediately I bonded with him. His bedside manner is delightful and his work ethic is admirable. He after the first visit discovered that I wasn't just clinically depressed,I was manic. I was laid off my job in 2009 after the company was sold and went into a deep depression. I had been working with Tri-anim for 24 years. Dr. Jacobson worked with me closely. He was pleased when I found another job in just 3 weeks. He told me to update my resume and told me about Monster and Indeed.com. When my contract job ended I couldn't find anything because I didn't have a degree. He told me about online universities where the coursework is easier than going to college for 4 years. I was extremely anxious about how I was going to pay my rent. I had amassed over $375K in my 401K, and Dr. Jacobson told me to take out some money for the bills. When I called they said that since I was no longer an employee I had to leave it alone or open up a Ira at a bank and then transfer everything to the new account, so that's what Dr. Jacobson said to do. One thing I forgot to mention is that he moved his office to Agoura Hills, and he was not accepting Medi-cal. He said don't worry" I'll charge you the insurance rate of $75 per office visit which is unheard of. Psychiatrists of his caliber charge upwards of $300 to their cash patients. When I complained about the drive to Agoura Hills from Northridge, he said " Jordan don't stress. We can do television via Whatsapp and I'll see you at no charge. WTF? That was unbelievable. This is the kind of human being he is. I continue in his care today, and haven't paid him a dime since 2009. What a mench. Jewish for an angel. Recently my insurance company stopped paying for my medicine so he put me on Abilify. I only pay $25 per month, but it doesn't work as good as Vraylar for me, but the share of cost for Vraylar with Humana is $400/mo. I am only in Social Security and my husband is disabled so our monthly income is only $3,000. Our rent is $1895. My insurance broker Steven Ruhkmann told me to call the manufacturer and apply for financial aid. Dr. Jacobson texted me on Sunday evening at 7:00 pm to tell me he is finishing his part of the application and he needed to send me a document to sign. On a Sunday night he's still working. Old- fashioned work ethic. Now, I need a note from him to make my new kitten an emotional support animal for me because I wasn't allowed to bring him aboard the bus for a Grand Canyon West and Hoover Dam tour in Las Vegas. So, my husband stayed in the hotel and I and my best friend took the tour. When I asked to get a refund for my husband's ticket they refused. They kicked him out for a 3 week old kitten and won't give me my $109 back. I called Viator who is the 3rd party and they got back to me with the same answer: No refunds. Dr Jacobson suggested that I contact an attorney and sue for discrimination. Always looking out for me. I told him that I won $150 in Vegas and to give me his Zelle number so I could at least send him $50 bucks. He responded to me this morning at 4:00 am and told me "I got plenty of money and you don't. Enjoy your winnings. So, I asked him where I can share my experience with his wonderful care, and he said Yelp. I've given too much information but you won't find a more dedicated, hard working professional psychiatrist than Walter E Jacobson, MD
