I've been with Dr. Sari for about six years and I love her. She's a true partner on my health journey. 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! read more

While I was a patient of Dr. Sari for years and was relatively happy with her care, I unfortunately cannot 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. read more

Wait list is 'indefinite." According to Eitches---it is "years" long. This isn't readily apparent on her website---it's indicated under the new patient tab which is ironic since you can't become a new patient. Admin staff is dismissive--no offer to recommend other physicians. Just FYI read more

Words aren't enough to express how thankful I am to have come across Dr. Eitches. She's been an imperative part to my good physical and mental health. I dealt with cancer a couple years ago, it really screwed me up, and surgery left me with a frustrating journey of figuring out how to get back to being a functional human again. I was concerned about the cost for the first visit but as soon as we got to chatting I realized that this was no ordinary doc and that I had found the best damn doc in LA. It was the first time that a doctor had really listened and clearly wanted to find the root of my issues. Dr. Eitches was the only one that figured out that my immune system might be having a reaction to the medication I was taking. She told me about tirosint which I didn't even know existed (even after seeing over 8 diff docs, imagine that?!), I switched to that and since taking it I got my quality of life back. I don't have a thyroid anymore so that switch was the golden ticket to being able to function again. ... And her knowledge of the natural options is marvelous! Going to her was the first time a doctor had any knowledge about my diet or the supplements I take! She turned me onto a couple of things as well that I love and got my husband and family into. So THANK YOU DR. EITCHES! You are the best and I'm going to continue to recommend every person I know to you. (And cheers to whoever created yelp cuz I wouldn't have found her without it) read more

I've been seeing Dr. Eitches for about 5-6 years now. I originally came to her to help me navigate hormonal imbalances, hypothyroidism, and autoimmune issues related to Celiac Disease. She incorporated lab testing and various other tests to get to the heart of some of my symptoms and introduced tailored supplements and lifestyle changes to help with my specific needs. In my annual visits, she spends a thorough hour discussing my health and going through my lab results to explain specific changes. This year, my labs have never looked better and that's a testament to her personalized approach of care. I would highly recommend Dr. Eitches to anyone frustrated with traditional care providers in need of answers and sustained health. read more

Dr. Eitches is the best doctor I've ever had, and I've been alive for a long time! If you want someone who genuinely cares, is present, takes time with you and is great at what she does, she's the one for you! She is not only an amazing physician, but she's also a wonderful human being. I truly cannot say enough good things about her. read more

Wow! This is all I can say. Jaycee is amazing. I called the office looking for an integrative specialist who took my insurance. While, she was unable to accommodate that, Jaycee went above and beyond. The doctor must be amazing if her staff is this wonderful. If you have a chronic illness and someone from a doctor's office takes a kindness on you, it's very special. read more

Dr. Eitches is a great, caring and extremely knowledgeable doctor. She always answers my email promptly. She offers holistic and modern medicine solutions to health issues. Rest assured that you are in great hands with her. read more

As a psychologist, it's really important for me to be able to refer my clients to an internist I can trust - someone who values the mind-body connection as much as I do. Dr. Eitches is my GO-TO referral. Dr. Eitches is a phenomenal physician - she's warm, compassionate, knowledgeable, and truly embodies holistic health. She cares deeply about her patients which is evidenced by the time she takes, the thoughtfulness and thoroughness in her evaluations, and her overall approach to health. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Eitches if you're looking for an internist - you'll be in the best of care! read more

I love her. She is truly a gem. What a wonderful doctor. Although I arrived late, she still welcomed me heartily. We had a wonderful consultation and she truly knows what she is doing. I would recommend her as an internist further to my friends! read more

I have known of Dr. Sari for many months and finally, had my first visit with her 2 days ago. I could save time and copy/paste excerpts from the other rave reviews here. Every facet of my experience with Dr. Sari and her office, including her assistant, Jacye, was 5 stars. It takes time to develop trust and comfort with anyone and certainly, a primary care physician, but even after 1 visit (and post-visit communication), I am supremely confident that I have found a special person and practitioner, who I hope will guide my family's health for years to come. read more

Dr. Sari Eitches has really helped me to transform my life. I came to her after a frustrating run with the traditional health system, never getting enough time with my doctors to be able to get to the bottom of my ongoing issues. I was being written off, told it was all in my head, etc. Sari listened, analyzed and created a plan of attack. She got to the bottom of my problems and I am now feeling 1000% better. She had great referrals for doctors I needed for more specific testing, etc. After every appointment she sends a follow-up email with a clear plan for next steps. I love that she can provide holistic solutions as well, pairing Eastern and Western medicine techniques. She takes time to explain things and I never feel stupid asking questions. Sari is a great, forward thinking Dr. who I now suggest to all of my friends! read more

Bedside manner is really important to me and I've never met a doctor (in any specialty) who is more patient and compassionate than Dr. Eitches. Additionally, it's been difficult to find a doctor who is knowledgeable about my dietary restrictions (I'm vegan and celiac) and have a B12 deficiency. She is the ONLY doctor I've found who carries methyl B12 shots -- I couldn't even find them in NY!!!! read more

When my body started behaving strangely, I honestly tired of jumping through medical hoops to find answers. Our healthcare system is not set up to heal patients. Insurance pressures doctors to get patients out the door as quickly as possible. And so doctors don't know their patients, and many patients go home worse than they started. If you're like me, you're tired of the system and just want a good doctor. It took a long time to decide to find a doctor out of my insurance. You might think Dr. Sari's price is high. But I PROMISE you, you're paying for value. Dr. Sari is a wonderful doctor. She has set up her practice so she can spend time with her patients. She really listened and wanted to find out what was going on with me. I was shocked by how quickly she responded to my emails. I'm glad I finally paid out of pocket. It was the best thing I did for myself last year. Dr. Sari ran tests and found a rare disorder other doctors missed. I don't know where I'd be if I hadn't gone to her. But I can tell you it's nowhere good. I'm soooo grateful I found one of the good ones. I won't be going anywhere else. If you still have doubts, I urge you to call Jayce, the receptionist, with your questions; she is also stellar. read more

Dr. Eitches provided me with excellent care. She was easily able to identify the root of my issue allowing me to find a treatment that alleviated all of my complaints. My favorite part about the visit was that I felt as if I was her partner. Rather than her telling me what I needed to do to feel better, she gave me options and explained the positives and negatives of each choice. This allowed me to participate in my own care and I really felt comforted by that. I would recommend her to anyone who appreciates this type of care. She is amazing and wonderful! read more

Dr. Eitches is a PHENOMENAL doctor. She's warm, knowledgeable, intuitive, and thorough. She genuinely cares about her patients which is clearly seen and felt. She's holistic in her approach which lends itself to incredibly comprehensive care. She's personable, responsive, and compassionate. I'm so grateful to have her as my primary care doc! Thank you Dr. Eitches for being YOU! read more

I recently went for my annual check-up with Dr. Sari and was reminded of what a remarkable physician she is. It's like I went from shopping at Walmart to getting served champagne while being shown Birkins at Hermes. Her enthusiasm for my care felt so personal like I have known her my entire life. I truly believe she is invested in my well-being which makes me want to take all of her advice/recommendations. read more

Words can not express how much I recommend Dr. Eitches. She is knowledgeable, caring, and I've never in my life felt like another doctor was so invested in partnering with me as my health advocate. Health concerns can be both emotionally and physically exhausting and Dr. Eitches addresses the full picture of health to promote and find your healing. I am very confident in her complete look into mind body and soul. I appreciate her eastern/Western approach, and wish I could give her 100 stars. If you're considering her as your doctor, I highly suggest you give her a try. read more

Dr. Sari Eitches is a very kind, compassionate, empathetic, and beautiful human being. I was searching for a plant-based doctor, who was also knowledgeable in the field of traditional medicine and be able to integrate it with a more holistic approach. She embodies what it means to be a doctor. A person who went into the field of healing and not just for diagnosing or managing illnesses, but also for curing, by finding the root cause of health problems. Her extraordinary listening skills, being open -minded and staying abreast of current data are absolutely remarkable. I also really admire her diligence, patience, kindness, awareness, compassion, and thoughtfulness. After trial and error with several MDs, who didn't seem to have a clue on how to treat my condition with my particular hormonal imbalance issues, she seems to have me figured out! Finally, a doctor that cares & listens to her patients...She is worth every penny and dollar spent!!! read more

I am so impressed by Dr. Sari Eitches. They say "the apple does not fall far from the tree". For years my family has been under the care of her father Dr. Robert Eitches (allergy specialty), who has been nothing but caring, warm, and knowledgeable. What a privilege to now be a partner in my health with Dr. Sari. She is intelligent, knowledgeable, humble, and truly cares about her patients. I say "partner" in health, because she never comes from a place of "trust me, I'm the doctor", but rather a place of, "it's your body, you know it well, let's work together to solve the puzzle". She is worth the cash-pay price- every penny of it, as she takes time to answer questions and do a thorough exam, instead of providing factory-medical care. I pray she continues to shine, and help all the people she does and more...I am impressed. God bless you and yours, Dr. Sari. read more

I met Dr. Eitches when she was at a different practice in Beverly Hills. I knew right away she was a different kind of doctor when she took over an hour with me on my first visit and was so genuinely caring and concerned about my getting every last question asked. I was impressed that she was a Western medicine doctor that took a holistic approach to treatments which is refreshing. I wasn't surprised when she moved to the Akasha Center since it is filled with caring professionals like her with a more holistic approach. I have since seen her there and she continues to embody the epitome of what a doctor should be. She is also extremely communicative via email and phone and anytime I've had a follow up question she will respond within a day. I feel so lucky to have found her and would recommend her to anyone looking for an Internal Medicine Dr. You will not be disappointed. read more

Sari Eitches is a wonderful doctor. She is very knowledgable in her field and is incredibly helpful. She takes her time getting to know you and recommending the best tests possible to figure out your ailment. I've been fixing my health problems naturally for a while but after a health scare decided it was time to see a real integrative​ medicine doctor. She was exactly what I hoped for and with the results,​ I saw what I need to continue to work on! I plan to follow up with her in a few months and see the progress I've made. I would highly recommend Sari Eitches! read more

Three doctors couldn't diagnose the cause of my frequent migraines but one visit with Dr. Eitches and I am migraine free still three months later and feeling the best I have in years. She is the first doctor who has taken the time to get to know me and all of my symptoms in order to properly treat me instead of just over prescribing unnecessary medications to mask the underlying issues. I finally feel like I have my health under control! read more

I can not provide a review for the Doctor herself, however I can say that this practice does not accept insurance and the initial visit is nearly $500 which is due at the time of the appointment. It is unfortunate that so many integrative medical practices in LA do not accept insurance. read more

Dr Eitches is extraordinary!! She is kind and very attentive. She is always punctual and extremely knowledgeable. She helped figured out why I was fatigue when no one else could. And found a way to continuously work with me and I feel so much better. I'm running around with my family with energy to spar. read more

Dr Sari Eitches is a rare gem that I feel so incredibly fortunate to have discovered- and I found her through Yelp too! So thank you to my fellow Yelpers!! Dr Eitches is a genuis. Pure and simple. With a heart of gold. And the experience, wisdom and knowledge of a doctor well beyond her years. She may look young, but this woman knows her stuff!!! Not only is she trained as a traditional western internist, but she is also board certified in alternative medicine. I relate to Dr Eitches on a personal level (not only because she happens to be a fellow sorority sister- total coincidence by the way!!!), but also because she and I both suffered from a similar health concern that western medicine couldn't cure. Sure enough, she found her way back to wellness with the held of some eastern tools such as elimination dieting, lifestyle changes, supplements, exercise, etc... And even though I'm not quite cured yet, I am fully confident that Dr Eitches will continue to help me create a Holostic health plan that fits my particular needs and gets me back on the road towards living a happy healthy life! If you are looking for a kind, intelligent, wise, experienced, understanding, nonjudgmental, innovative doctor with both western and eastern tools in her toolkit (and why in the world wouldn't you want to have both at your disposal??) -then Dr Eitches is the doc you've been looking for. I hope she can help you !! Good luck!!! read more

Dr. Sari is the best doctor I've ever had. She is sharp, compassionate and easy to communicate with- returns emails and phone calls very quickly. I never feel rushed. I have referred many friends to her and they all love her. read more

YES. In every way - knowledge, energy, ability. Thank you for making my life and the world better.

Dr. Sari Eitches is a dream come true. If you are looking for an intelligent, warm and caring doctor who seamlessly combines her knowledge of western medicine with an alternative approach, look no further! She is the real deal and what anyone should get to experience when going to the doctor. She is detail oriented and takes the time to make sure you understand what she is doing and explains it methodically. I wish all doctors could be like Sari. While she will prescribe you medication if you need it, she makes sure to go over other possibilities first. If you end up with antibiotics, she will follow up with you directly and also make sure that you are taking care of yourself. Truly one of a kind. Get in now with Dr. Eitches it won't be long until it is impossible to get an appointment. She's phenomenal!! read more

Dr. Eitches provided me with wonderful care. Visits with her are efficient. She is personable, and I felt that my needs were satisfied.
