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.

It was a pleasure meeting Dr Hendifar the first time. He is very kind and understanding.He is very knowledgeable of my illness and I trust him as my doctor.

Dismissive, Lacking Compassion, Disrespectful
Telehealth
I would not recommend Dr. Hendifar. When a recent PET scan showed that my cancer metastasized to a different organ, his response was, “I’m not concerned. It happens all the time,” with no explanation or reassurance. He shows no curiosity when issues aren’t obvious, dismissing valid concerns and, in my experience, he gas lights by implying their symptoms aren’t real.Additionally, he is consistently late—often by over an hour—without apology or acknowledgment of the inconvenience caused. I respect that doctors often run behind, but it's his total disregard for patients’ time and inability to even offer a kind apology that isn't right. I am going to find an alternative to Dr. Hendifar. I think he's a great liability to Cedar Sinai.

I saw Dr. Hendifar at each visit. After seeing multiple oncologists, I chose him after the first 5 minutes into our first visit because of his wonderful listening skills and willingness to discuss treatment options with me. He is the best oncologist, because Dr. Hendifar is not only a wonderful listener, he is also extremely kind and caring, professional, expert in his field, very attentive to his patient's needs, and extremely responsive. I felt I was in the best hands possible and I knewI was getting the best care possible thanks to Dr. Hendifar and his team.

I live in Michigan and fly to Los Angeles twice a year to see Dr. Hendifar for NET treatment follow up. I think that says it all. I wouldn't want to see anyone else if I didn't absolutely have to.

I don't know what is motivating the comments of the "one star" grade from the prior commentator. Hendifar is a brilliant guy and has saved my life. I less than 5 months of treatment under his regimen my liver lesions have gone away and the head tumor on my cancer is less than 60% of its original size. On top of his professionalism he is a caring human being. As for Cedars, it is a giant place and getting involved with the size and function will be difficult but worth it. I travel from NV fo
