My experience with Dr. Shilita was extremely disappointing. Instead of listening to concerns and collaborating as part of a medical team, he became visibly upset when I requested a second opinion. He raised his voice and told me, "You just lost a great doctor part of your team, Dr. Mariam Bakhtary," which felt incredibly unprofessional and ego-driven. What made the situation worse was that Dr. John Li who I was made to feel was somehow a downgrade is actually Dr. Bakhtary's partner and was simply away on vacation for a few days before returning. The reaction I received for simply advocating for myself as a patient was inappropriate and uncomfortable. Patients deserve doctors who listen, communicate professionally, and prioritize care over pride. If something feels off, trust yourself and seek another opinion. Your health is too important not to.

The congenial attitude that everyone exemplified and the professionalism that was on full display gave me the reassurance I needed to feel comfortable before going under anesthesia. I want to thank everyone for a wonderful experience not only in helping me to relax before the surgery but also in helping me to recover immediately afterwards by offering me cookies and pastries. I woke up this morning pain free for the first time in months. Thank you, Dr. Lipel and the entire staff for a wonderful experience. Abby Box

Even being in Healthcare I didn't realize my lack of self-care when Brandon mentioned "its been 5 years, no blood work". Brandon listened attentively while I expressed my health issues. I was impressed of his knowledge on Women's health and how I should proceed in keeping up with my well being. He was also quick to make sure I was aware of the good and the ugly lab results that followed through the next day. Brandon is a pro at what he does and it was such a pleasure to have met him. I have the utmost gratitude for Brandon and hope he continues to make an impact on others. Glad he joined team Northridge. Now I don't have to stress about who's filling in for Dr. Eddy or Dr. G who are both excellent at what they do.

When I called to schedule an appointment, I was connected with a staff member named Craig at the front desk. His behavior was shockingly unprofessional -- he was rude, dismissive, and clearly rushed to get me off the phone. He asked inappropriate and confusing questions, showed zero patience, and made me feel like an inconvenience rather than a patient. If this is how new patients are treated before they even walk through the door, I have serious concerns about the overall quality of care at this office. Craig seems to genuinely dislike working with people, which raises the question -- why is he answering phones at a medical practice? Front desk staff are the first point of contact and represent the entire practice. Craig's behavior is damaging to Dr. Brookinghalt's reputation. I strongly recommend the management review how patients are being treated by this individual.

I've been referred by my primary doctor to less-than-stellar podiatrists before, and in this case, I took matters into my own hands and found Dr. Yamini myself - and I'm so glad I did. (Both for a bunion and later, for a broken toe.) I'm current;y recommending my brother go to him for his own foot problems, which he's put up with for years (as men often do, unfortunately)! I should add that his staff at two locations I went to (Porter Ranch and Encino) were professional, courteous, friendly, and patient with me - even when I messed up my directions somehow, and called them in a frustrated tizzy when I was lost. Five stars all around!

Those words never came out of my mouth. What a weird way to respond. That is your rebuttal instead of taking accountability for your terribly dismissive service as I come in limping with a boot on into your office? Look at his other reviews on yelp. It's very telling of his attitude and inability to stay professional. Making up stories about your patients? You are far from the depiction of a "medical professional", buddy. Also, my photos show my injury. The MRI was just taken on April 7, and I am still unable to place proper pressure on the foot after all this time. I explained this to this guy and he just wasn't listening. Was going to stop at reviews, but you just earned yourself a BBB report, as being a liar on top of all of this ridiculous behavior is extremely concerning. Congrats. Zero stars. This doctor Syamak Yamani is most unhelpful, raises his voice, cut me off multiple times while speaking, did not even perform any range of motion tests on my ankle whatsoever. Actually, didn't even lay a finger on my ankle, or even looked at it! He read the mri results and just wanted to 100% rely on that, stating there was nothing wrong with it. I clearly injured it quite badly and haven't been able to walk. I've had an mri report misdiagnose me for a left hip labrum tear before. Ended up having to get surgery on it as a different MRI place was able to properly find and diagnose the tear. This guy doesn't care about his patients. Staff were really nice though. They deserve to work for a better doctor. He is a prime example of poor practice. Highly do not recommend. I urge everyone to take the time to look at his 1 star reviews. His dismissive attitude is consistent. The good reviews could very well be fake.

The front staff is always polite, kind, accommodating, and efficient. Dr. Amini performed a medial branch nerve block on both sides of my L5 and L6. It not only relieved my back pain but also helped with the neuropathy in my legs and toes. This procedure was quick and didn't require general anesthesia. Before the actual treatment, there was a "test run" with a local anesthetic to see if it would help, and it did! The bumpy road from the street into the parking lot initially bothered me. But after the test, I found it helpful because it showed that the treatment worked! Sadly, I've had to change medical groups because I moved 36 miles away. My new group doesn't do as good a job, and I'm trying to get authorization to see Dr. Amini again. I've never had to wait an unreasonable amount of time to be seen, meaning upcoming appointment dates or waiting in the lobby. The front staff has always been accommodating, even when I was late to my appointment or overdue on payments. Plus, they're proactive about handling paperwork with my insurance. While it's inconvenient that the office is closed for lunch, I truly appreciate that they give their staff proper breaks. I've also never had issues with them calling me back or being inefficient. The only thing I'm upset about is that I thought I'd posted this review already! PS: Dr. Amini has a brother who is a retina specialist doctor, so don't get confused!

The other girls in the office were great and helpful. I had called to get information on a referral that I was supposed to have processed through the office in February and I was told that they were unable to verify the insurance so that if I wanted to call the doctor and ask them if they take my insurance I can and I explain to Blanca how am I supposed to process the referral? I can't do that on my own. I'm only a patient and do I call them back or do I call my primary doctor back and she said that it was up to me because it was a courtesy that they were doing for me by figuring out if the doctor took my insurance. How does that make sense? If you were the ones that said you were referring me to a neurosurgeon but then I have to figure out that information and then what do I do with it? It's been going on about three weeks now that I'm trying to get information as to who the doctor is that they were trying to refer me to and every time I call I'm told they don't see anything on my chart and they will talk to somebody and give me a call back. I don't hear anything and then I call back and it's the same scenario. I just want the name of the doctor so I can have my primary doctor do the referral and be done with this office!

All of my recent doctors within the past few years have really lacked person-to-person skills, many of them not even introducing themselves when they walk in the room. Often I am left feeling like a number on a checklist instead of a human when in doctor's appointments, which is why this visit with Dr. Eliz was such a nice change. She came in so friendly and sweet, introduced herself and her intern, and asked me my name and how I was doing. I know that seems simple and basic, but it hasn't happened in a long time, so I already felt more at ease right away. She communicated with me through the whole procedure so I felt comfortable and safe and informed (which I very much appreciated), and it went quickly and smoothly. Then my nurse who later had to draw blood from me was also a wooonderful human who also made me feel comfortable and at ease. All around good people here and I feel so much relief having found them.
