This review is not for the doctor but for the multiple communications with his support team. A…read moredoctor may think this unfair but when your care team is sub par it does reflect negatively on the doctor. Sometimes unknown to them and sometimes because they do not care. I am not sure where it falls in here. I have phoned at least four times in the last few years. I had an acoustic tumor that grew aggressively (not a norm for this type of tumor) into the brain stem. I wanted to get another opinion because I have had 'inconclusive' on the final reads (whether there was additional growth) and I wanted to make sure I did not get into another life-threatening situation (my first surgery was emergency with a 2% chance of survival which I thankfully survived). I would get sent to the voice mail of his nurse at which time I would get a follow up weeks later. Cut to now a few years since I phoned and got the 'inconclusive' read on my last MRI (with and without contrast) but now with a possible sign of growth so, again, I phoned Dr. Kellys' office only to be told he does not deal with Schwannomas. I was never informed of this in prior communications with the office (which is odd). I always stated what type of tumor I had and reports and scans were sent. Then his nurse said she was forwarding my information to another doctor that deals with the aforementioned type of tumor. I never heard from them. Then, maybe three months later (or more) I got a call from someone that did not say their name (just stated Pacific Neurosurgery) and called from a private number. Just to reiterate, this is now 1/3 of a year later. Buyer beware.

You get his undivided attention and his response time through the My Chart app is outstanding. I am a high maintenance patient but I never feel like I'm annoying him or taking up too much of his time. He has given me many excellent referrals too. The entire experience from front desk to the back desk there is nothing short of extraordinary. I have a lot of specialists now that I'm older and the other doctors within the practice are all outstanding. He has set the bar so high that it's almost a miracle when I find a doctor that comes close to the care I received from Dr. Buxton. He is a doctor's doctor!

Then I overheard her making fun of the mental health patients along with the staff at the nurses station. I spoke to Maria Chavez the manager who denied my claims and called me hysterical.

I also saw Marisol Sanchez being aggressive to another employee which I found very odd that they condone this type of mental and physical behavior at this establishment. I will be taking this to the board.

I averaged out 5 stars for her as a doctor and 1 star for this policy about test results. We are dumbfounded.

I've suffered with chronic migraines for over 30 years, ever since I was a child; sensitivity to light, smell, and sounds can make me nauseated and often worse (TMI - if you know, you know) for 12 hours or more when a migraine strikes, and I often feel weak and really out of it for a day or two following the migraine. These episodes, when out of control, can really wreak havoc on my life and make me very depressed. Dr. Segil has helped me get to a point where I'm experiencing less migraines, and it has greatly improved my overall quality of life. I'm so grateful for this and to have found such a compassionate, competent specialist. Wait times in the office are fairly short, and whenever I need to call or email the office, it's easy to get in touch with his office assistant, Amalia. It's rare to find such a kind doctor who really listens and cares, such as Dr. Segil. I don't have any friends who experience migraines, but if I ever come across anyone looking for a great neurologist, I would not hesitate to recommend them to Dr. Segil.

BIG FAT EGO. The…read moremainstream insurance-based medical system is a dinosaur and completely broken. My experience with Dr. Benmoshe is proof positive. This doctor is self righteous, arrogant and condescending. He is dismissive and aggressive. if you can't be crammed neatly into a diagnostic code with a corresponding drug, you are gaslit and treated with disdain for trying to help yourself. Doctors at Cedar Sinai are closed minded and 20 years behind on the current research. They hang on to their dusty, antiquated bureaucracy for dear life because of the money they paid for their precious education and patients suffer the consequences. This is precisely why concierge medicine is on the rise and trust in the old guard is bottoming out. AI is coming for your job sooner than you realize. And with a better bedside manner to boot. Get ready Dr. Benmoshe. Your way of practicing medicine is going extinct and I can't wait for you to reap what you sow. if you would like further details regarding my interactions with this physician, feel free to message me.

How could she fail to verify the Medical Advance Directive? How could she justify not corroborating the spouse's position when she learned of the court action? If physicians do not respect their patients enough to adhere to their mandated reporting and privacy obligations, it's no wonder so many elders are victimized despite extensive legislation designed to protect and ensure their safety.

I came to Dr. Porter on the recommendation of a physician who sends all his neurological patients to her. A second recommendation came from a friend who has been a dedicated patient of Dr. Porter's for 20 years. They were right to praise her. The initial interview was thorough, relaxed and insightful. Doctor Porter has a comfortable manner and put my wife and me at ease as we discussed the steps involved . At the end of the interview, she suggested detailed actions to establish the baseline and gave me a list of neurological specialists to help her develop a comprehensive understanding of my neurological self. After being screened (with appropriate tests) by each of the specialists, I returned for a review with Dr. Porter. She placed their contributions in perspective and balanced them with the results of her own tests. And, again, her "bedside manner" was warm, engaging and thorough. My wife and I began the adventure with questions and Dr. Porter addressed all of them. We came away ready to take the steps she recommended, including committing even more deeply to the MIND diet. I highly recommend her. She'll take good care of you.
