I had an endoscopy today. I called yesterday to discuss whether to use sedation, and one staff…read moremember told me about how if I chose to do it without sedation, Dr Pedraza is the perfect doctor to do it with, because he would walk me through it. She gave me tips of what to do (focus on breathing and keep my head down) She had done 2 endoscopies without sedation. I went back and forth about it and then spoke to a nurse called Kim a couple of times. She discussed all my options like she was a friend. These people were so patient and so helpful when I was stressed out and taking up their time, that I felt cared for and calmer. Today I was set up to try without sedation, and if needed, get sedated. Dr. Pedraza patiently listened to my scared, pain in the neck, waffling thoughts, and then when we started the endoscopy, he encouraged me with eye contact, meditative breathing and non stop words of encouragement. I was able to do it without sedation, and knew it was totally because of him. I will have to have a second endoscopy in a couple of months and will try this again . Meanwhile I just am in awe of how human and nice and encouraging Dr. Pedraza and his staff are. It is nice and rare to have a combination of top quality medical expertise and decent human kindness and patience. You may not choose to do this without sedation, but you will still be dealing with kind, extremely skilled, staff! You can't go wrong with choosing this doctor and his support people.

Dr. Cogen is a compassionate, gifted, and humanistic health care provider. He will take the time…read moreto listen to your concerns and problems, and will do everything that he can to provide you the highest level of medical care. Dr. Cogen's office manager Wendy also has the same qualities as Dr. Cogen to make sure that you are comfortable, and is an advocate for you when dealing with insurance companies and other roadblocks in modern health care. There is even a sign in his lobby that lets you know appointment times and waiting periods will be longer, because he takes extra time with his patients. Without reservation, I highly recommend Dr. Cogen.

He was a good resident, and was trained by the best. He has held up the standards of that training in his practice. I have used him as my personal physician for many, many years. Dr. Datlow practices medicine as it used to be, before the days of HMOs and managed care. If you want personalized care by someone who will take the time to listen and discuss any health issues you bring to him, you couldn't do better. His office staff are pleasant and helpful. His office is centrally located in midtown Ventura.

I was a new patient of Dr. Rob Warwar for the first time after about 10 years without seeing an MD…read more I went in with complaints of backpain. Dr. warwar treated the immediate problem with cortizone as well as ordered xray imaging and physical therapy. During the initial visit, Dr. Warwar became concerned with my thyroid and the way that is was protruding from my neck. I had had a lump there since the last time I saw an MD and they said it was fine, so I forgot about it. With no symptoms, Dr. Warwar still decided I needed a biopsy after an Xray showed multiple growths. Turns out after following up with recommended Endocrinologist Dr. Westhoff I was diagnosed with Papillary thyroid cancer at 27 years old. With an early diagnosis I am able to remove the thyroid without much complication in the future other than a pill daily. Without Dr. Warwar, I truly believe this is something I would have not immediately, if ever, be worried about or even conscious of. Not only being my first consult with him, but with having a whole different issue bring me in, I am just impressed and more than grateful for what was potentially a life saving call. I will recommend Dr. Warwar to anyone I meet and continue to share this story because health CARE is so hard to come by now a days.

I finally approached the front desk and was told "the Doctor is running late". Clearly. However, no indication of how much longer we would need to wait. Once we sat in his office, the doctor scribbled notes on a piece of paper, turned his back to us, and then handed us this seriously unreadable "report" (for lack of a better word). A few days later, after all attempts to decipher said notes were unsuccessful, I called the office requesting type-written notes be mailed to us. Followed up with the Administrator today to hear "I told the doctor what you requested. You need to follow up if you don't receive those notes in the mail". Wow. Clearly this office is under the impression it's the patients job to 1) discern unreadable notes, or 2) request type-written notes and 3) follow up when said notes are not delivered. A truly stunning lack of follow through and patient care. Unbelievable.
