Dr Lerner is my endocrinologist and I've always been extremely impressed with his professionalism as well as his sensitive approach to his patients needs. I've been to a dozen endocrinologists over the years and I can honestly say he's one of the best I've ever seen. With that said, I feel compelled to address some of the complaints I've seen on here. It seems that all the complaints have to do with people hoping that they would be diagnosed with thyroid disease and put on meds, and then getting disappointed when Dr Lerner disagrees with their self diagnosis. First of all, anyone complaining that they weren't diagnosed with thyroid disease is, quite frankly, NUTS and needs to see a shrink. Do you know the havoc that thyroid disease can wreak on people's lives? Instead of complaining that you don't have thyroid disease, you should be grateful and count your lucky stars. "But why can't he just give me a little thyroid medication, I mean my TSH is a little high?" you wonder, as if a little thyroid medication never hurt anybody. Well I got some pretty sobering news for you: once you go on thyroid meds, even a low dose, the meds cause your thyroid to get weaker and weaker until it eventually dies out. Once this happens, what started out as a "little" high TSH that a dash of thyroid meds could take care of, becomes a full blown, life long irreversible thyroid problem. Yes, you now get to live the rest of your life with NO thyroid because a little thyroid medication can't hurt, right? And believe me, you DO NOT want to be without a working thyroid, and if you think it's not so bad, just read the hypothyroid blogs and see how miserable people are once their thyroid is burned out and they're stuck on meds for the rest of their life. So just do all of us a favor and stop complaining that Dr Lerner doesn't think you have a horrible life long disease, it just makes you look like a total moron. Second of all, why are you so sure you even have thyroid disease to begin with? Did you go through 4 years of premed undergraduate school, followed by 4 years of excruciating medical school, and then 3 years of residency and 2 years of fellowship to be able to diagnose yourself? Oh no, you read a blog and now you know everything there is to know about thyroid disease! Hell, you could even open up your own endocrinology clinic and make a little cash on the side! Please, have a little humility. You wouldn't dare tell a high school dropout auto mechanic how to change your oil, but when it comes to diagnosing yourself with thyroid disease, now you're the expert! Bottom line: Any doctor who rushes to prescribe thyroid medication for some slightly elevated TSH levels is irresponsible and should have his license revoked. Being a good doctor who cares about his patients long term health, Dr Lerner won't do this. If this upsets you, there are plenty of pill pushing docs who will prescribe you anything you want to make you happy, even if it means destroying your thyroid forever. Enjoy. And do us a favor, instead of complaining that your weren't diagnosed with thyroid disease, BE HAPPY! read more

UPDATE: After being contacted by a fellow Yelper that she too received a bogus document about past due bills from OVER THREE YEARS AGO, I decided to call Dr. Lerner's office and see if they knew anything. Boy oh boy, they denied everything and said that it all goes through the billing office. They had no sympathy for me and they also did not act like this was the first time they heard this. It was almost like she was trained to keep saying "We are two different offices, all billing goes through a different office. I can give you their number." (No thanks, I have it, they are horrible). HEY DR. LERNER, CHANGE YOUR BILLING OFFICE. They are either scamming your patients, or verrrrrry bad at their jobs. It's atrocious that they are asking patients to be paid three years later without sending notices or attempting to contact the patient. NOT PROFESSIONAL. THEY ALL SHOULD BE ASHAMED. read more

Roger Lerner has passed away. He was a great doctor and a fine friend.

Dr. Lerner is the rare doctor who actually LISTENS to what you are saying and does not give up on you no matter how bizarre your symptoms are. I had been to eight other endocrinologists in the course of 2 years with increasingly bad blood sugar numbers, rising insulin doses, all the while gaining weight, and feeling worse and worse by the minute. I had reached a point where I had to work from home because I so frequently became dizzy and disoriented during the day. I was worried I'd lose my job, and health insurance. It was bad mojo, y'all. On the reccomendation of another doctor at Cedars Sinai I saw Dr. Lerner who was crochety and odd and gave me difficult and counter-intuitive advice. My first instinct was to leave without paying the bill, but I considered that all the other doctors had given me the "usual" advice of "higher sugars=more insulin" and that hadn't been working, that maybe I should try this lunatic's novel ideas. Also while listening to my breathing he mentioned "Hey, you have a heart murmer. I just heard it. Did you know? It's not in your chart." A couple of minutes with the ECG later...whadaya know? I sure do. No other doctor had ever noticed it before. That was a year ago. Today I am in FAR better shape that I was when I went into his office. I can't even explain how much healthier, safer, and more stabalized I am. I really thought I was going to die before, and now I know how to keep myself from having that happen for quite some time. And have sent two friends who also have diabetes to him and THEY are both in better shape. Also when my insurance was giving me trouble covering the new meds he wanted me on he hooked me up with samples until he could strong-arm them into covering me. He got me into clinical trials for a CGMS because I needed the data, and they're otherwise terribly expensive and inconvenient to get on your own. And best of all: when I was readjusting all my meds it was a really difficult 8-month process. He had me calling him several times a day to report my numbers and how I felt, and was ALWAYS available to me until he knew I was safe and stabalized. And at no extra cost. He's incredibly kind and has a wicked sense of humor. I owe him my life. If you have ANY sort of endocrine dysfunction, but particularly either Type 1 or 2 Diabetes I would strongly advise you to meet with him for a consult. read more

Just came back from Dr Lerner's and I must say, that I have NEVER had a Doctor spend so much time with me. It was great. There was NO "rushed" feeling to get me up and out. He took the time to ask me what my concerns were, my family's health history and in the middle of that offered me to hop off the exam table and sit in a chair to be "more comfortable". Then he continued on and ran down a list of questions to see if things were checking out for me ok. He gave me a great deal of EASY TO UNDERSTAND information. It was such a nice experience. I will definitely recommend him for those looking for an endocrinologist that pays close attention to your concerns, cracks a couple of jokes and just genuinely cares. Oh! The gals at the front desk are real sweethearts too. Dr . Lerner you are the best! read more

I went all over Los Angeles for the first year I lived here, looking for a Dr. I felt didn't just pimp out the latest new drug, but actually practiced medicine. Dr. Lerner was the first Dr. for me to come across who seems like a normal Dr. compared with other parts of the country, takes insurance (vs a few others I went to that you had to pay cash), and cares about you as a whole. He is also protective of his patients and takes the time to get to know you. This is the sort of guy you you want when you're really sick! read more

I have mixed feelings about Dr. Lerner. I found him here on Yelp and the first time I went he didn't seem to want to tackle all of my endocrine issues (hormonal), just my thyroid deficiency. He passed the hormonal issues off to my gyno, which made her laugh and recommend me to someone else. (That's what an endocrinologist is for!) He was quirky and odd, but if I'm getting good care I don't mind that. I dunno, my guard was up but I gave him a chance. His office staff has always just been kinda meh to me, cold and not friendly. My follow up appointment they were running a good 45 minutes to an hour late. Here is my problem with this. The office will call you and even request a return call to confirm your appointment, but they won't take 2 seconds to give a courtesy call to let you know not to waste an hour of your time. I basically left work early for nothing. When I got there the office was empty and silent, so it's not like they were too swamped to call and alert me of the delay. I should add that this office is in a building with really no parking option except to valet in the garage - and it is quite expensive to do so. And Dr. Lerner does not validate parking. So it's not just a time issue, but one of money as well. Lastly, I was going to just get my bloodwork done and skip the doctor chat, but told the nurse I had been off my meds for a few days and should probably see him after all. She said something to the extent of 'you can take all of your meds for the week on Sunday - we have a lady that forgets to take her thyroid medicine so he has her take all of the pills on one day.' I have to be honest, this statement alone freaked me out. In over 20 years of being hypothyroid, seeing multiple doctors, and reading several articles and books on the subject, I've never heard of doing that. So to each their own, but all of this adds up to me just saying no. read more

I am embarrassed that I previously wrote such a glowing review for Dr. Lerner - outside of a vitamin D deficiency, he said that all my health issues were purely emotional. Total BS and very much NOT appreciated. Otherwise, he seems like a very nice guy, hence the 2 star rating. Anyway, user Elle Y. recommend that I see Dr. Geller instead (he's in the same building) and I'm so glad I did!! read more

My wife and I have been seeing Dr. Lerner for about 10 years and we love him to bits!! He is a truly rare breed of doctor, one of the old school who takes a personal vested interest in your health and your life. When we first came to America from the UK we were looking for a doctor who could take care of my wife's diabetes and Dr. Lerner was recommended to us so we went to see him for a consult and signed up. We have never ever regretted that decision. At that time I had another GP, but I switched to Dr. Lerner shortly afterward because my wife was so happy with him that I wanted to get the same level of care and attention. Neither of us has ever been so happy with a family doctor. He is always ready with a quip and wants to know what is happening in our lives, how work is going, what our plans are for an upcoming holiday etc. On the professional front, Dr. Lerner always takes the time to listen and diagnose a problem, and he is not afraid to tell it like it is - if one of us deserves a telling off for doing something stupid then that's exactly what we get, and then he'll give you a hug just because he's pleased to see you! How many doctors do you know who give hugs?!?. If his nurses are busy he'll jump in and draw blood himself. When my wife has ended up in the ER he's shown up quickly and made sure everything got done the way it should, and then he's been there again the next morning. I honestly don't think he ever sleeps - that coffee cup is permanently attached to his hand! :) Dr. Lerner has helped us deal with all manner of medical problems, and has been an absolute rock of support throughout. I won't go into details, but if he reads this he will know what we are talking about, and we are truly indebted to him for everything he has done for us. We consider him as much a part of our family as he is our doctor and we would not have made it through some very difficult times if it weren't for him. read more

Dr. Lerner is by far the BEST endocrinologist I have ever had! He takes time to talk to you, to get to know you and to find solutions that make it easy to go about your normal life without too much hassle. Every time I go in to see him, he always gives me his complete and undivided attention, whether it's for 20 minutes or an hour, I feel that he's actually listening to me. You can tell that he really cares about his patients and wants to help in any way that he can. Dr. Lerner is such a character! Always cracking jokes and making me feel better about my disease, and reminding me that I CAN manage it. I am so thankful that I found a doctor that I can trust to listen and hear me. That I am a person to him and not just another chart. He, and his office and medical staff, always provide me with the best care. Whether I need an emergency prescription or some advice on the best way to medicate. Dr. Lerner has made himself very accessible to me and my needs. He has helped me develop a plan that will get me on track, and the tools to help keep me there. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone! Not just as an endocrinologist, but as a general practitioner as well. I have had many doctors. Most came highly recommended, but not one can hold an candle to Dr. Lerner! read more

nice guy, very chatty - Best way to describe him for me would be a solid C student. Doesn't go above, definitely not beyond.... or go to where he needs to. besides being almost an hour late to my appt he basically said "oh, well your reflexes and everything seem fine." I KNOW THIS i came here for hormonal questions and wanted to know if i had specific sensitivities... alas, no answers or tests just a bill... Oh and a phone call telling me i should take selfies in case anything on me changes... umm, no. weird... I called over a week (maybe 2 weeks ago) to pay my bill, i know I've only given/used this card for that one thing this month and it was just processed yesterday and today that card number was used for hundreds of dollars worth of home depot purchases in the san fernando valley. WEIRD. read more

Dr Lerner has been my doc for many years..he is unusual in that he cares and spends time to know the person he treats, ur not just a number with him. He is a highly competent physician who has texture and color as a person and many years of experience and successes, me being one of them. Dr.Lerner has kept my medical condition in check for years and continues to monitor my physical wellness. I consider myself lucky to have Dr Lerner as my "primary doctor go to guy". read more

Roger Lerner, MD - Endocrinologists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Roger Lerner MD is the most caring and most brilliant physician that I have ever been lucky enough and healthy enough to thankfully have in my life. He's cares about all his patients 24/7 including friends that I have recommended and others I have discovered by chance and are also fans and loyal as he is to them. If you follow his medical advice and are a good patient you will be rewards in living a longer more healthy life, he's always there for his patients. I wrote this review to be there for him as he has been for me. read more

Eh. Long overdue, but since I was just contacted for a past due bill from over 3 years ago (a trend that I am seeing on this page), I'm feeling the need.. I came in 3 years ago per recommendation of my Gyno, as I was having hormone issues and symptoms of excessive thirst, urination, fatigue, etc. I thought maybe diabetes had a role to play so I was happy to take whatever tests necessary to find the reason. First thing Dr. Lerner said to me when he heard my concerns about diabetes was: "but you're not overweight." ()and when he was about to administer a blood test, anyway, he said "usually you should fast before this, have you eaten?", when he had literally walked in on me eating a protein bar in his office moments before.. () I was younger then and my distrust of doctors had not yet begun, so while I knew this all was pretty sketchy, I didn't think to stop it. I went along with the tests, waiting for the results, which... never came. I had to contact the office asking for them. Dr. Lerner eventually got back to me saying that a mistake had been made and the results had been lost. 3 years later, I can't remember exactly what it was, but he tried to make up for the faux pas w/some sort of offer or deal, and I was just so fed up with the whole business, I declined and tried to put the whole thing behind me. Well, 3 years later and I'm dealing with a lot of health issues like adrenal fatigue, SIBO, inflammation, and dysbiosis, paying for an appointment that could have potentially caught these things before they became real issues, but... didn't. It's a shame. And now, instead of simply not recommending this doctor to anyone who asks, I am also writing this review. read more

I saw Dr. Lerner for an estrogen issue last fall after my PCP recommended I see an endocrine specialist. He spent a long time with me and I felt that he had good intentions, but overall I got no help - he thought I just had a body image/mental issue and offered me diet pills! After reading Alfred P's review below I have to wonder how many patients he dismisses that way. I wish these negative reviews had been here before. I left disappointed, but I was going to refrain from writing a Yelp review since estrogen doesn't seem to be his area of expertise, but *seven months later* I received a bill for a copay. Seven months!! I swear I paid it in cash (what doctor doesn't collect copays at the time of service?) but couldn't find a receipt and their (offsite) billing person couldn't tell me if this was a normal practice, so I paid it anyway to avoid the headache. I found it frustrating to say the least, and I wonder if I was charged for 2 copays. Can't say I recommend this office - keep your reciepts if you go. read more

Sadly, Dr Lerner passed away last month, he was truly an amazing doctor and diagnostician. May he find everlasting peace.

This dr. called me a narcissist for coming to him about my recent weight gain and hair falling out. Oh, and he hugged me on the way out of the office -- inappropriate. read more

I LOVE Dr. Lerner. He is the first doctor I've had who actually sits down with you (he spent an hour with me on my first visit, and an hour during my second) and actually explains everything to you. He is so thorough and has a wonderful beside manner. I have recommended him to everyone I know!!! read more

I love Dr. Lerner. His staff is awful. They care more about $ than his clients. I was charged for things he blatantly said he was not charging me for right in front of me and them. And I was charged close to $350 for tests I had no idea I was getting. When I protested his staff were rude and dismissive. Although I like Dr. Lerner I will not return because of his staff. read more

He's the best. He really is. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at St johns, a few years back, and the endo there nearly killed me with insulin. It was a nightmare. He re-diagnosed me with as a non typical weird type 2. He brilliant, extremely personable and really cares -thats why he asks so many questions. He's there to answer questions at any time of the day and eve. Just wonderful. I went back to London - and now sadly my insurance doesn't cover him, My dad is a top Endo in London and he says he's definitely the top guy here - I have to say if I had the choice I really wouldn't go to anyone else. Its interesting reading these reviews, Im looking for a new Endo that is covered by my insurance so I was digging around. I think very often when there is more than one thing going on its a mistake to isolate problems - your body is completely connected and I think with someone like Dr Lerner who is more old fashioned - although I don't mean he's old fashioned - I mean in that he takes a more holistic approach - understands that. His medical knowledge is vast - so he may seem that he's asking too many questions or digging around in the wrong area. But this man knows his stuff. Would you rather deal with Rubens or someone who just graduated from Cal arts? Would be my metaphor .... He's definitely the master Endo. People want a quick fix diagnosis with a pill and its often more complicated esp in endocrinology; someone like Doctor Lerner will have that broad base of knowledge to make a really comprehensive and sound diagnosis. And he's just great, I would highly recommend him. read more

Haven't seen Roger in 25 years. We were friends,sort of. Had a problem with his office staff. He sided with her. Sent me for a totally unnecessary expensive cardiology test with a good friend of his. Not so different from most of today's entitled MDs. read more

Dr. Lerner is by far the best doctor I have ever had! He gave me the most thorough physical- asking about my food intake, activity level, etc. He had me swallow some water to check my thyroid (which no other doctor has ever done), checked my reflexes, gave me an echocardiogram. Really did a deep dive to check my health. He is extremely personable but also gave me some tough-love around my need to lose some weight. Although it's hard to hear sometimes, it is a conversation I really needed to have. Many people these days will tell you what you want to hear, not what you need to hear. Dr. Learner is a straight shooter an I am very appreciative of it. His small staff is friendly and they make you feel like you are a part of the family. They always go the extra mile for you. Dr. Lerner is an extremely knowledgeable and talented physician. I highly recommend him to take care of your health. He is not the typical doctor that follows a standard protocol with everyone. He really individualizes care for his patients because we are not a "standard"....we are all unique with different needs--even if its for the same problem. read more

His billing department sends people to collections without sending them bills first. Even when you call the billing department proactively to see if you owe anything, they say no, then send you to collections. read more

Awesome doctor. Personable, funny and full of knowledge.

Hands down the best! He has treated me for years with a straightforward no nonsense attitude. He is a great doctor who will take the time to really get to know you. He will often take extra time with you to talk politics or current events while treating you. It really puts you at ease, as if he were a family member that you've known your whole life. read more

My first visit to Dr. Lerner's office was so refreshing. For the first time in years, I didn't not have to wait more than 10 minutes and was treated like a human being and not just another "patient". Dr. Lerner answered all my questions with patience and professionalism while being friendly. He took his time with me and made sure that I was comfortable. He explained my options in detail which is very important to me. I'm so happy to have a new place to go. read more

Excellent and very thorough doctor. I would highly recommend Dr. Lerner to anybody. read more

I had my thyroid taken out due to cancer in 2005, I have had 15 major operations due to illness and injuries in the last 20 years, so I know a bit about good and bad doctors. Dr. Lerner is average at best, after explaining my problems to him, I have more hypothyroid issues then anything else, some severe, some less so, he quickly dismissed my problems as being thyroid related. But would do a blood test just to be sure. Well the blood work came back and he says everything is fine, my TSH was 177.300 6 weeks ago so I know what hypo symptoms are like!! I just wish I could find a good doctor who would listen, treat my symptoms and NOT the blood tests. No one has ever checked my Free T3 levels, which are the most important as your body converts T4 )Levothyroixine) to T3 and T3 does most of the work in your body. He stated all you need is "T4" in my case Levothyroxine and you should be fine. If by chance you are having issues or problems either post "TT" or still have your thyroid, look elsewhere. I know what I felt like before I had my thyroid taken out and the thyroid replacement Levothyroxine just doesn't do what my body needs it to do. Why can't I find a doctor who will actually work with me? Maybe prescribe T3 meds or Natural thyroid in the hope it may help. As far as the issues I am having, the doctor says I should see a good ENT. It's odd that the symptoms change when the TSH goes up or down. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Lerner for over two years, and I have never had a more caring, empathetic, and personable doctor. He has always taken great care to listen sincerely and formulate a well educated diagnosis and treatment option. He takes a one-on-one approach and gives ample time to get to know his patients, their medical and family history, and current health conditions. I began seeing Dr. Lerner for a thyroid condition that was diagnosed over two years ago. Although several other endocrinologists insisted that my only option was to remove my thyroid, Dr. Lerner listened to my reservations in proceeding with removal, and explored every other option he could think of while maintaining my health and closely monitoring my condition. Over two years later, and not only do I still have my thyroid, but there is NO need for me to remove it. Dr. Lerner is thorough in his analysis and treatment. He works with the patient to establish the best possible treatments to meet the medical needs while maintaining the integrity and desire of the individual. His holistic approach is what is truly missing from medicine today, and I have been incredibly lucky to find such a thoughtful and capable physician. read more

During a recent trip to Los Angeles I discovered, during an eye exam, that I had dangerously high blood pressure. My mother, whom I was visiting in LA immediately referred me to Dr. Lerner who not only took the time out on Christmas eve to take my call but also called ahead to find me an ER that had the shortest waiting time. A few days later I visited Dr. Lerner in his office and was very impressed by his affable manner and ability to listen to me, the patient. Rather than immediately put me on blood pressure meds he listened and understood that I was under enormous stress of late. He told me to simply lose stress and lose some weight. I liked his approach because rather than medicate me he suggested an option that required me to take responsibility for my health and work to improve it. Over the holidays my mother was also having some critical issues with her health and I was both appreciative and amazed at how available and accessible Dr. Lerner was for her, to answer her queries and titrate the doses of her meds. In this day and age it is wonderful to find someone so committed to their practice. Robert Morris read more

Not to be melodramatic, but Dr. Lerner may have saved my life. After hearing my family history and examining my records, he insisted up a test the (evil) insurance company had rejected. The test came back positive for cancer. Doc Lerner had to give me the news, and he was so sweet and supportive. If I had listened to other endos in CA, I would have just been walking around with a tumor, waiting for it to get big enough to be "worth" working on. Dr. Lerner is one of those physicians that will actually listen, so I recommend doing your homework. Speak to him about your condition, show him scientific articles about treatments, write out what your idea for plan of treatment is. You can show anything to Doc Lerner and he'll give it a once over. And he really doe care about how you feel, psychologically and physiologically. Wish there were more like him out there. read more

I was introduced to Dr. Lerner over 11 years ago and have been going to him ever since. I was originally diagnosed with diabetes when I was 19 years old and was immediately placed on insulin. For about 5 years I bounced around doctors all over town as they all kept on telling me to increase my injections as I kept of gaining more and more weight. Finally I was introduced to Dr. Lerner who immediately placed me on a strict diet and exercise which lowered my weight and my blood sugar. I now have lost 25 pounds (and maintained it), am off of insulin (only limited oral medication now) and have never felt better. I agree with all the other posts as well where he will give you all the time you need and never rush you in and out. He has always referred other great doctors when I needed something and has always returned my emergency phone calls no matter the time of day in less than 5 minutes. Most recently my grandmother, who is not a current patient of Dr. Lerner, was at the hospital. We were not happy with the doctors treating her and when I called Dr. Lerner he made sure to go visit her that very same dame AND refer a team of doctors to help her. He is an incredible caring doctor and I would recommend him to everyone, and I have!! read more

Roger Lerner has been my primary physician for 35 years and he's taken care of my family as well. On one hand he's the traditional doctor who gives his patient the time they need to discuss problems. On the other hand, he's hip to the latest medical advancements. (He also has a tremendous sense of humor!) I trust Dr. Lerner more than any physician I've ever dealt with and he's ensured my quality of life is excellent despite my many health problems. He also took care of me gratis in a period when I wasn't covered. Over the years I've sent many friends to him and will continue to do so. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Lerner to anyone needing an Endocrinologist in LA. His caring nature and attention to his patients are wonderful.

I am a bit frustrated because i still have not heard back from the Dr regarding my results.. when I call to fallow up they tell me he will call me and he doesn't... it seems that when he tested me he didn't do the right ones and now I need to go back for more tests.....:0 read more

Dr. Lerner is a no-nonsense science-based doctor. He keeps up to date on all the latest research and is years ahead of his peers when it comes treatment of endocrine related disorders. read more

I have been seeing Dr Lerner since January of this year (2013). He is a very nice man but I came to him to help and not to share my time with a pleasant person. He guaranteed me that he could have me all better in a month. Well, that come came and went. After numerous blood work request, with roller coaster results, he kept me on the same dosage the entire time. Then, he recommended I get my thyroid removed with enough Radio Active Iodine to completely knock it out. I went back to him after a month since I was feeling horrible. He said he was very disappointing with RAI but we would need to wait before we did anything. It has now been 4 months since my procedure and I am on no medication feeling like sh*t. I am having to take time off of work and putting my family through the emotional mess I am in. On top of all this, when every I spoke to him, he would never know who I was and remember nothing from previous visits. Isn't that what you medical records/notes are for? Having to remind him of everything that has happened under his care is not comforting or give me confidence in his competence to treat me. I am finally seeing another Endo today and couldn't be happier. I'm thinking It can only get better from here. read more

I did not connect with Dr. Lerner regarding the treatment of my diabetes, I found him to be abrasive and left after two visits feeling like I was not helped, I would not refer a friend to him and suggest you look elsewhere. read more

Cedars Sinai website recommended Dr. Lerner for my specific problem. He was able to accommodate my schedule with an early appointment of 8:15 a.m. He also asked me several personal questions and my family history. This is his way of getting to know you. He took blood samples and explained the several choices that I had and when the test results were back he wanted me to make a decision which medication i wanted to use. He used a lab that is not connected with CS, so the results took a few days longer. He personally telephoned me with the results and which medication I wanted to use. I like the fact that he telephoned me rather than making another appointment and charging me for an office visit. My next appointment is scheduled for 30 days and again an early morning appointment. read more

Doctor is almost 80 years old I think. Nice guy, but he's just not as astute or observant as a doctor should be. Said I was fine even though I was still experiencing symptoms. Office itself is also poorly run, took over a month to get test results back, called many times, always went to VM. read more
