Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

No communication from the doctor or office.
I was referred to Dr. Sahakian by another physician at Keck. It has been over 5 weeks and his office won't make an appointment or even tell me if they will EVER make an appointment. I've sent everything they've asked and there is just no communication back. Looking now for a doctor at Cedars or UCLA. Keck doesn't seem to care about patients at all.
