Likely saved my life... I highly recommend this very thorough, knowledgeable, no-nonsense doctor…read more Dr. Lavian ordered a lot of labs and imaging tests and prescribed medication after tailoring it to my preferences (I refuse to take a certain type of medication but he found an alternative that I'm fine with). The day after I got my MRI and CT scans done, I received an unexpected phone call from dr. Lavian's office. They insisted I come to his office the same day to discuss the imaging results. At first I turned them down because I didn't really have a way to get to Encino before the end of the business hours (which was three hours away), and besides I had an appointment with dr. Lavian already scheduled approximately three weeks later. Five minutes later they called back and said the doctor absolutely insists I come in right away to discuss the imaging results from the previous day. I did go. What I learned that day at dr. Lavian's office is that I had a non-neurological but potentially life threatening condition. Dr. Lavian became aware of it because the CT technician captured it in the scan even though it was a bit outside of the area that dr. Lavian had requested the scan for. Dr. Lavian immediately put in an urgent referral to a vascular surgeon and told me to retrieve the authorization the next morning and schedule an appointment without delay. He also reiterated the importance of adhering to the medication he had prescribed, and ordered more labs to be done prior to the follow up appointment. So, yes, this doctor is very busy and has a wait room full of patients every time... (Frankly, I'd be worried if the wait room was empty!) Yes, there is a wait at every appointment. But the doctor does a very good job and clearly cares about his patients. Dr. Lavian was professional and polite every time I interacted with him. Most importantly, he's been doing a great job as my doctor. I'll end by sharing what I heard from my primary care doctor. She said that from the ample feedback she receives about dr. Lavian she concluded that he wants the best for his patients. I couldn't agree more.

I actually love Dr. Pouya Lavian! He is extremely brilliant at what he does and also, unlike other…read moredrs, is comprehensive and shares information and discoveries outside of neurology. I think he is amazing!! What is NOT amazing is the immature, unprofessional, unexperienced and incompetent staff with control issues, as they chronically miscommunicate, do not follow up and order the approach tests that the doctor requests, charges for appointment that makes no sense because the labs are not done, due to the staff being incompetency. They also do not seem to understand how to use text, email or voicemail. It's VERY antiquated!!! These children lack compassion and understanding that their foul actions can affect peoples health. However, they clearly do not care and behave despicably!!!! I've read several other people have had this same experience and spoke to other patients in the office that also experienced the front desk's incompetency. It makes zero sense to me how a great doctors has such incompetent front desk!!!!

Dr. Segil has been my neurologist for several years and has really helped me get my migraines under…read morecontrol. 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.

When i requested that DR STOKOL refer my file to someone that had knowledge of my…read moresituation(someone that had looked at my scans years earlier, DR STOKOL'S comment was "HE DIDN'T WANT TO BOTHER HIM WITH THIS". I have suddenly become a THIS. WHAT IS A THIS? The person i requested is well regarded and i personally was referred to him by one of his colleages years ago.A doctor i respected... THIS is my first review of a physician. You know what they say..Physician heal thyself..you need a lot of healing. your MD HAS GONE TO YOUR HEAD. You have a case of MD ITIS..PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT PATIENTS. THIS ONE IS TIRED OF THAT ATTITUDE. When i told the current doctor who sent me to STOKOL IN THE FIRST PLACE HE WAS SHOCKED AS WERE MY OTHER DOCTORS AND OTHER people i tell ..they were shocked and SPEECHLESS. If you think its about money it is not. Its about integrity. The refund concierge fee was to make a point. we are worth less than $50 each.so to all of you who are reading this find someone else who values you. he held that back that amount. obtw: He said he would refer my file to a couple of his friends instead.really? who? i didnt ask for that.. I have yet to get feedback from those who doctors? pals/ friends of his...referrals for insurance payment? , I tend to follow my instincts but because i was referred i let my guard down. i had mixed feelings about Dr Stokol as a first impression. I am writing this in the hopes it will spare someone else the grief and TIME I wasted. i was diagnosed but not by him. He was a waste of my time of which i have little left. i requested the concierge fee. he sent back all but $50. saying it was an admin fee. So WE ARE WORTH LESS THAN AN ADMIN FEE. i guess hes desparate for the few dollars. NO MORE CONCIERGE DOCS. ATTITUDE NOT APTITUDE is what i got. He was my first and last concierge doc.. Now i know what people are worth to him. Made light of my complaints until i emailed him with the diagnosis. I guess that got his attention. FIND SOMEONE ELSE who values your life. They all get paid they don't work for free. As they say time is money. HE WASTED MINE. WE should all be valued or what is the point of seeing a DOCTOR. if i am repeating its because i just cant get the words out of my head... "I DON'T WANT TO BOTHER HIM WITH THIS" How pathetic that i even have to write this. Good riddance!.

She took a look at my MRI when still at USC and said definitely I had MS and it was moderate in severity. Dr. B does not mess around, she will treat you with the best option available. I was placed on Tsyabri after she asked if I wanted to have an aggressive treatment. I was on that for a few years but had to stop due to complications that I will not go into... I can tell you that I trust her, I like her, she is kind, and patient, and it has been rough at times, I am not always an easy patient. Now I am on mavenclad, Glucotropin IM, and immunoglobulin (subcutaneous self-administered). I have not had to pay a dime for all three of these VERY expensive meds. I GREATLY appreciate Dr. Berkovich and her staff. In the nearly 10 years of treatment there were two periods when she was unavailable when I needed help, but these were explained and totally understandable, and the issues were addressed. I think you might see a comment from a recent yelper here that was caught in once of those rare periods. I once got a second opinion in an emergency from a top neurologist at cedars and really disliked it. I love Dr. B and her staff and trust them with my care and feel safe with her... you will be lucky to be accepted into her very busy practice. The only downsides are that it can sometimes be hard to get an appointment and a new patient should know that the office does not generally offer emergency treatments, so if that is you, you might need additional back up for those.

This office was one of the worst medical experiences I've ever had. The staff was rude,…read moredismissive, and acted like patients were an inconvenience rather than the reason the office exists. The entire place felt disorganized and unprofessional. The doctor was not much better and came across as rushed, easily annoyed, and completely uninterested in actually listening. Any attempt to explain symptoms or ask questions seemed to irritate them. If your situation is even slightly difficult, don't expect much patience or effort. The appointment felt like the goal was simply to get you in and out as quickly as possible. For a place that is supposed to provide medical care, there was very little care actually involved. Prepare to feel manipulated. Office is money hungry. The annual fee is a joke. Apparently paying extra doesn't mean better care -- it just means you're paying extra. Expect nothing except extreme hostility. Terrible experience, disgraceful actually. Save yourself the time, money, and aggravation and look elsewhere. Seriously avoid at all costs.
