Dr. Mattimore is terrific! He sits down and talks to me for 10-15 minutes each time I see him, and…read moreactually remembers who I am. I had a broken bone that required surgery, for which I obviously didn't see him because I went to the ER, and the next time he saw me he brought up the reports and looked them over, then examined my sutures and asked about the progress of the rehab. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is that it takes forever to get an appointment with him, so whenever I have gone in for an urgent problem I've always seen younger doctors, though all of them have been good so far too. One tip though: make your appointment in the morning! Since he spends so much time with each patient, by the afternoon he gets backed up and you may not get seen until 30 or 40 minutes after your appointment time.

Excellent doctor. Went to him once to check on an some abnormality. To be honest, once I was…read moretaken to a private room, the wait was quite some time. If I recall correctly, I waited 20 minutes and that doesn't include the time in the waiting room where you fill out forms, etc. Anyway, the wait is still worth it because he is very attentive and makes sure you understand everything before leaving. Too bad HMO Blue Shield of CA or Health Net don't cover UCLA Medical Center anymore. He has two locations and if you are new, you need to visit him first at his location at UCLA Santa Monica Hospital. After that, you're able to go to the location in Westwood.

Dr. Hadikin has been my doctor for over a year and I couldn't be more satisfied…read more He listens to me and my issues. He's extremely emphatic and friendly. There are too many doctors who have lost their humanity and compassion for their patients. Dr. Hadikin is not one of those doctors. I also appreciate the fact that he offers email. I prefer to email certain things rather than call the office and just pray the message is presented to the doctor in the same way I presented it to the staff member who answered the phone. I came to Dr. Hadikin over a year ago not sure how to describe how I felt. There wasn't a clear description I could give for everything that was going on with me. Dr. Hadikin took the time to listen and offer suggestions and help. I can even begin to describe how good it feels to be heard by a doctor who cares and takes the time to listen. I do have a tendency to be chatty and he still listens. I am not always concise in describing my issues, especially when I'm tired, so I appreciate the time Dr. Hadikin gives me to describe how I feel. I couldn't have asked for a more genuinely kind doctor who clearly has a big heart in addition to his doctorate.

Dr. Walt Hadikin has been my physician for almost two years now, replacing the previously…read moreirreplaceable Dr. Dan Bowers. I was so disappointed when Dr. Dan moved to NY, but that disappointment was short-lived. Dr. Hadikin is kind, caring, compassionate, sweet, funny, charming (am I gushing now?) and more! He is very knowledgeable and always up on the latest treatments and diagnoses. His appointments never feel rushed as he ensures that we've covered everything that concerns me at that moment. He is prompt about returning phone calls and emails, which means a great deal to me. He is 100% non-judgmental and completely LGBT-friendly. Yes, Pacific Oaks is an extremely busy office, but once I'm in the exam room with Dr. Hadikin or one of his nurses, I feel like I'm getting the care and attention of a small, single-physician office. I can't say enough about Dr. Hadikin and have referred several friends to him.

I drove an hour to Beverly Hills to pick up the scrip only to get back to a pharmacy near my house and be told they can't fill it because it was not written correctly. I called their office and all they could say was "oops, sorry" and tell me I'd have to drive another 2 hours roundtrip to get another copy. For a doctor who is so hellbent on doing his job thoroughly, he treated all patients like automatic drug addicts to the point where you feel like you're on trial, you'd think he'd be attentive enough to write a prescription correctly. Go somewhere else.

I'm a LONG TIME patient of Dr Caren. I have to say I'm extremely surprised to see so few reviews…read moreand the one I did read was horrible!!! I've prolly been seeing Dr Caren for 15 years....perhaps 20? He went through TWO open heart surgeries with me and I tend to believe he's prolly given me 20 or 30 years of life that I probably would NEVER have gotten with another doctor. Doctor Jeffrey Caren has always tried to make room for me within his very busy schedule. He takes valuable time with me to "dig deep into my heart". I say this because of the kindness and caring he's given me. He'll take a few extra minutes to ask me about "what I've been doing", "how's my family" and even talk about OUR cars. See, Dr Caren goes a LOT deeper than my heart (if that's humanly possible). He IS a doctor....but I also consider him a particularly special human being. If either of my children EVER have a heart issue there's only one person I'd want them to see. If you have a heart issue, I strongly suggest you call Dr Caren for an appointment. I believe you'll meet a very warm and wonderful person. Most Sincerely, Stewart Sloke
