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.

In todau's medical world you want the best...
Dr. Sachs spends so much time going over everything, including preventative medicine. I always feel comfortable discussing everything with me and he never talks down to you. Ever.He is in my corner and I know that. His follow up is amazing and we can tell the whole office cares.

Dr. Sachs treats the whole person. He is especially good with the elderly, I think. he is always encouraging me to stay active, exercise, walk, etc. He doesn't just treat my physical self, but inspires me to stay positive during the aging process. This is super helpful to me.

Caring Well-run Office
Dr. Sachs made time to see me the very day I called for help - as always. He diagnosed my problem, treated it and told me what to expect the next days. This has been true for 13 years. In addition his staff is caring and competent. When I call for a proscription renewal, it is sent to the pharmacy immediately so that it can be filled the same day. Top notch in all ways.

THE BEST!
Dr. Sachs is absolutely the best internist I’ve ever been to. He is readily accessible, extremely knowledgeable, most caring and his staff is just as good. I’ve never waited more than one day for an appointment and never waited more than two minutes to see him from the time I arrived. I couldn’t begin to ask for more. With the state of health care these days you owe it to yourself to become a patient of Dr. Sachs, you will be amazed at the care and attention you receive

Outstanding Doctor and Team
I recently had my annual checkup with Dr. Sachs who I believe is the best internist in California. He was kind, considerate and very smart, as usual. Sharri and everyone in the team are also wonderful. THE BEST.

Although he is a fine Doctor, I am irritated by the difficulty in contacting my information through the internet. I am sure that my information is there but I can't connect It. It may well be my fault to some degree but if the system is difficult to use, it borders on useless. I have spent a lot of time trying to penetrate the system to no avail. It is a shame because he is a fine doctor. The onus must fall on MD
