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.

You should really be warned. First. took me 3 months to get an appt. I arrived 40 minutes early and proceeded to wait in the lobby for 3 hours. I was called in at exactly the 3 hour mark (2 hours and 20 minutes after my scheduled appt time). I have now been sitting in a room for another half an hour. At this point that's the end of my review since I have not been seen yet.

Beware: Horrendous Experience at Dr. Daniel Brelia
Visiting Dr. Daniel Brelian's office was an ordeal that I would not wish upon anyone. From the outset, the administration displayed a level of incompetence that was truly baffling. Staff consistently lies, causing me to wait in excruciating pain unnecessarily.The office environment itself is a study in chaos and mismanagement. Overbooked and understaffed, patients crowd into a cramped waiting area, often spilling into the hallway, waiting multiple hours past their appointment time. During my visits, the disorganization was palpable, with staff seemingly overwhelmed and unable to manage the basic task of scheduling.Attempts to communicate with the office were met with disdain or outright ignored. Phone calls were rarely answered unless I used different numbers, suggesting a deliberate avoidance of patient interactions. The office undermines any confidence in Dr. Brelian's practice. Avoid at all costs unless you prefer chaos over care.

HIGHLY Recommend
Stellar provider. Not only does he take the time to listen to you and your health concern, but he is also extremely thorough in the tests that he orders to assess your condition. I had a hepatitis scare due to a mixed-up blood sample result and instead of approaching the situation in a judgemental, non-trusting manner, the Dr. was a breath of fresh air. He explained how common the disease can be, and he did not try to blame it on my being gay. He ordered a substantial number of tests and scans to assess the prognosis, and although I ended up being negative, I felt extremely well taken care of and supported. I would recommend him with complete certainty no matter your GI condition. All being said, if you're a new patient there is a several-month-long waitlist, so I recommend seeing if your primary care physician can pull some strings to get you in earlier.

Highly recommend
So I was enduring irregular bowels multiple times throughout the week, I didn’t know what was going on, and I had already tried other options. I was worried I would not have another solution until Dr. Brelian was recommended to me by a close friend. I then immediately set up an appointments and he soon prescribed me with the perfect medication that resolved my issue. Will continue to recommend to others in the near future.

I was referred to Dr. Brelian for a consultation. After meeting with him and having a full work up, my issue was not as serious as I previously thought. He is a dedicated professional and caring human being.

The doctor is a prominent and knowledgeable one, however the front office staff is the complete opposite. The doctor should employ staff who answer the phones effectively and not allow it to resort to phone messaging a majority of the time. Even the messaging center states that it is full and cannot take a message. When you finally do get a person to communicate with they say they will call you back and never do. Otherwise I would have given this a five star rating.

I'm not surprised to see all of the glowing reviews of Dr. Brelian and his staff on this page. He is a diamond in the rough! I can't say enough good things about Dr. Brelian! He is incredibly smart, caring, empathic and humble and I wish all of my doctors were more like him. He shows genuine concern for his patients, always takes the time to listen and goes above and beyond to help. He has great ideas and a fresh perspective.

Dr. Brelian extremely nice, well spoken & educated! He takes my concerns seriously & is dedicated to helping me discover the cause of my gut issues. I know he has my back because he told me my colonoscopy was inconclusive & that the other Dr.s had given me the wrong diagnosis! He is working hard to get me on the med's I need even though my insurance is denying it. He also gave me the option of trying medication first or redoing the colonoscopy. I can also tell he really cares about his patients.

Dr. Brelian is a consummate professional. He is comprehensive in his approach to diagnosing a condition. He is kind and attentive to the needs of his patients. He is very willing to answer questions so everything is understood. He is ,most importantly, very knowledgable. These reasons are why I trek from Beverly Hills to his office in Chinatown.
