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.

Is not easy to talk to, not communicative, does not listen Appointment is rushed, and doctor seems to stereo typepatients, asks a few facts, doesn't listen and so treatmentfor the patient is not helpful.

Dr. La came very highly recommended by a friend. I have seldom been so disappointed with a doctor as I was with Dr. La. All he did was spend an hour getting mad at me for refusing Covid vaccination. He looked down at my symptoms and past medical history for all of 2 seconds, and told me it looked age related. I had to say to him twice "how could it be age related when my problems started when I was 16 years old." Then he finally ordered some lab work. He never called me back about the lab work. After many weeks I finally called him and was basically told to make another appointment. I absolutely will not be doing that and do not recommend him to anyone.

Dr. La is very caring, listens to concerns and formulates a treatment plan based on his expertise and Your limitations or concerns. He invites you to call if things aren’t going well. He has a pleasant and calm disposition. My doctor highly recommended him and a co-worked also highly recommended him. I travel a long way to see him.

Very hard to reach the staff. I called several times but Anoush and Linette kept putting me on hold. Also very hard to get an appointment even with insurance pre authorization.

I have called multiple times and no one answers the phone. I have left voice messages with my phone number but no one calls me back. I have been waiting over a month just for them to call me back. Luckily 911 works in case of emergencies. Do not expect to reach anyone from this office because you will die before they get back to you.

This review is for the administrative office. My surgent referred me to see Dr.La after an orthopedic surgery. I called to make an appointment, they asked for my insurance ID, I got an appointment in 2 month. I called at least 3 times more to see if somebody cancelled as I was in pain. Finally after 2 month I came to see Dr.La, filled out all the papers in the office only to discover Dr.La does not take my insurance (PPO Blue Shield)! All this time waisted! They knew what my ins was frombeginnin

Dr. La is one of these hard to find physicians who are not only knowledgeable but also extremely caring. I suffer from a couple of autoimmune conditions and Dr. La has been a blessing to have as my rheumatologist. Not only does he help me manage my conditions, but when I got really sick and had to be admitted to the hospital, he came in every day to check on my condition and worked tirelessly with other physicians to get me back on me feet. I give Dr. La the highest recommendation possible.

Dr. La and his associate Jessica St. Jules are outstanding. They are both very knowledgeable and attentive. I highly recommend either one of them in the practice. Wait times

Office is chaotic and frustrating. Oftentimes, can't get through and are told to leave a voicemail. Requests left on the voicemail will not be addressed. Othertimes, are put on hold and then disconnected. Sometimes are dealt with in a dismissive manner. I was bringing my disabled wife in for an appointment but was told not until a prescribed procedure had been performed. She ran out of a pain medicine. When called for a refill, was told not until he sees her again in a month. Withdrawals
