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.
Truly cannot thank everyone at Santa Monica Emergency room. My husband had to get a CT late one night and everyone was so helpful and informative.

Thanks for the great orthopedic recommendations Dr. Kohanteb! I visited the emergency room on March 4, 2023 because I broke my ankle skating. Dr. Kohanteb informed me it was in fact broken and recommended a great orthopedic doctor. I ended up having to get 4 screws put in and I am now healing nicely!

Visited the emergency room due to a kidney stone while I was in LA for a bachelor party ( I am prone to them since I wrestled in high school) Dr. Arash Kohanteb gave me medicine and was really helpful while waiting for it to pass.

We went into the ER because my son had a cough that we were worried about. Dr. Kohanteb and his staff ran many tests and where very comforting and informative. He prescribed us with medicine that has been helping a lot.

Dr. Kohanteb is the best! I broke my heel a few weeks ago and went straight to the ER. After my X-Rays, Dr. Kohanteb came in, was very friendly, explained everything very clearly, and answered all my questions. He also referred me to a great orthopedic! Very glad he was working when I went to the emergency room. If you see Dr. Kohanteb I assure you that you’re in good hands!

Sought care in ED for fracture possibly needing immediate care. ER MD w poor attitude, body language, bedside manner, talking behind my back to scribe, defiance when asked for specialist advice (didn’t ask the specific Q), a burden to him in person and through his documentation. Not what people need especially when they are sick or injured and have been in ER >3h. As a physician myself it is no wonder EDs get a bad reputation.
