She's saved my life and health when no other doctors had answers, I could not be more grateful! Expert in every bodily system and understands how the body works as a whole. She knew more about gastro issues than my expensive concierge Gastro specialist doctor. She also cured my long-COVID.

The thing that impresses me about Dr. Baker is her network of professional contacts within the field. In regard to a specialized cardiac problem my father was facing, she immediately referred us to a very brilliant and knowledgeable cardiologist. That sort of coordination between health care providers has really helped us. Dr. Baker takes the time to thoroughly explain my father's condition and treatment options so we were informed and comfortable with every step taken. Dr. Baker is attentive, sensitive, and genuinely concerned about the welfare of her patients, and this has greatly enhanced my father's quality of life. We are truly appreciative of her care and highly recommend her for anyone in need of a knowledgeable, yet caring physician.

    I've been with Dr. Sari for about six years and I love her. She's a true partner on my health…read morejourney. She's warm, caring and nonjudgmental. If I come across an article about some new drug or other health news that I'm interested in, I can send it to her and we'll discuss if it's right for me. When I go in for an appointment, she takes her time to listen and talk about my concerns. Truly, I give her my highest recommendation. She's a rare jewel in our crowded, chaotic health care system!

    While I was a patient of Dr. Sari for years and was relatively happy with her care, I unfortunately…read morecannot recommend her after a negligent and extremely inappropriate experience that I am still struggling with today. I reached out because I feared I may have contracted a very scary life-threatening medical issue- something that with better warning and follow up care on the part of her and a specialist, likely could have been prevented. When I got the diagnosis from Dr. Sari for the very thing I feared, I became understandably terrified, sad, and couldn't help but cry. I apologized for being upset and despite my own emotions, I felt it was important for me to give some feedback about why this diagnosis was extra upsetting to receive. I respectfully expressed that I felt I had been let down by her and the specialist for not being warned or given proper instruction to take a common OTC supplement that would've prevented this. While I was in tears because of the diagnosis, she quite literally scolded me over the phone because of this feedback. She deflected all responsibility onto the specialist, despite me reaching out to her to confirm the specialist's treatment plan was safe and well-informed for my situation- something I thought was a standard thing to expect of your primary care physician who has a more complete picture of your health history. She proceeded to have a complete emotional outburst and said some really nasty things to me, singling me out as a patient, and yelling over me as I tried to speak. I was completely stunned. Feeling very overwhelmed and upset by her argumentative confrontation in response to reasonable feedback, I tried to diffuse the situation by pleading with her, saying I didn't feel this was an appropriate time to do this, she had just given me a serious diagnosis. I had to get my tears together to reason with her and said "Dr. Sari, please I'm not trying to argue with you" - her exact words were "GOOD! THEN DONT!" Not to mention before the testing she said I could take an OTC med that, if I had the thing I was asking about, could've killed me. I'm glad I didn't take it, since my test was positive. While Dr. Sari is generally pleasant, it seems in times where it matters most, she lacks real compassion for people who are reasonably concerned about their health. I gave the same feedback to the specialist & he calmly and professionally heard my concern and agreed he should have mentioned the OTC supplement to prevent that diagnosis. Dr. Eitches' inability to remain compassionate and professional when giving someone a very scary diagnosis ensures I never want to receive bad news from her again. She made an already bad day so much worse, and I initially thought there must be something major going on in her personal life, surely she'll realize how inappropriate that was later, but she never reached out to apologize for how she handled that day. That says the most of all to me. I debated writing this review because she was so immediately reactionary I expect she might write a response implying (as she did while scolding me over the phone that day) that I was a difficult patient, in order to deflect from her completely inappropriate behavior. Before our call she already seemed to be annoyed that I emailed after hours when I became violently ill suddenly, despite me being told by her it's fine to call with questions and concerns during office hours and to email after hours- something I only did when I was genuinely concerned about my health & I very rightly was in this case. I said I was happy to make an appointment- my after hours email was just to get an initial read on whether my situation was life-threatening & get tested before a long holiday weekend where things would be closed. Maybe that makes me a difficult patient to a doctor like Dr. Eitches. But I'm writing this review ultimately because this has deeply affected me emotionally & made me avoidant of seeking out care. I will also be at higher risk of getting this issue again for the rest of my life. I don't want another potential patient to be the emotional punching bag for Dr. Sari, and be spoken to as if you're a bother, and a nuisance for being concerned about severe and sudden symptoms. It cost me $350 for the 15 minute phone call where I was dismissed, shamed and screamed at that day. A doctor is not just there to order tests or write prescriptions- especially one who doesn't accept insurance for "better care". How doctors listen to us and speak to us matters. Nothing will outweigh the bottom line- A doctor should never EVER talk to a patient the way she talked to me, let alone while in tears during a scary diagnosis. I had many good years with her like many reviews reflect but this is a real possibility of what you might get with her, as I did, completely unexpectedly. I recommend if you're on the fence, you seek out someone without any history of brazenly scolding a scared patient, with seemingly no remorse.

    Former patient leaving a frustrating review…read more I quite liked Dr Barkodar for the 1.5 years she was my primary care physician. She's really great and the staff is super polite and crazy clean office. If she were in any other practice, she'd have 5 stars and still be my PCP. Sadly, I had a very poor experience with the Managing partners billing practices to the level where it caused me to question whether they prioritize patient health and safety over a chance to bill more $ and is the sole reason I left the practice. Specifically, I rely on regular monthly medications and for some reason the RX rarely if ever comes with refills. Which by 2022 standards should be fine, the pharmacy usually digitally or by phone requests a refill as soon as I'm out and the next time I need one *poof* I have a refill waiting for me. Curiously in April of 2022, the managing partner Dr. Ali (whom I've never seen) charged my insurance $150 for an office visit on a day I was never there. When I called to inquire, and after 2 weeks of getting the run-around from the office manager Michael, I was finally told that they now code refills as office visits - but they've agreed to waive the deductible and zero out my balance as a "one time courtesy", but going forward the policy was to charge $150 office visit for any and all refills. Given its a monthly medicine and they don't make a habit of writing scrips with refills for some reason - seems like a billing practice to syphon an additional $1800/year which is such a shameless money grab it made me lose faith in the healthcare I'd be provided. In the future I would question any recommended test, check-up, procedure or lab work not knowing if it was medically necessary or just another opportunity to bill my insurance provider. Their billing practices may be within the bounds of the acceptability for the insurance provider, but is enough to make me lose faith in the office culture of prioritizing patient health over billing opportunities. Bummer.

    I've been to Dr. Barkodar's office several times over the last year, and I'll never return again…read more The staff is nothing short of rude. You walk in the door, they look at you - and say nothing. This happened every time (been there four times). I overlooked it because I liked Dr. Barkodar. But last week was the last straw. I booked an annual physical, and took the time to go there. It's nowhere near where I live. Ten minutes into talking to the doctor, I brought up the physical, and she said she didn't know I was there for a physical. She said "I don't have time to do that today." I wasted three hours roundtrip going to this appointment. My time = not important. I'm only the patient. I didn't throw a fit, but I called a few days later. When I followed up with the office to reschedule my physical, I explained their snafu, and said I didn't want to have to pay my $30 copay to return for the physical (which I had already traveled for, fasted for, and already paid the $30 copay for) The receptionist argued with me and said if I saw the doctor at all, that is what the copay is for. I explained that I didn't get the treatment I had scheduled (and gotten confirmation about via Zocdoc). She never acknowledged the inconvenience. She just became defensive. Wow. No one in this stupid situation ever even said "gosh, so sorry that happened" Nothing. This experience highlighted things I overlooked in past appointments, which is long wait times + they leave you in a room for long periods of time. Every single time I have been there, I'd eventually venture out of the room to make sure I hadn't been forgotten about entirely (which I had). I like Dr. Barkodar, so this is a shame. Terribly managed practice all around. This is the PPO experience in Beverly Hills California. Healthcare in America is a joke. Looking for another doctor. I don't recommend this place at all.
