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.

Waited nearly an hour and left. 8 hours of driving round trip. We were told we were his first patient today. So disappointed but just no confidence.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Dr. Frank. I'm 36 and have had mysterious, non-asthma breathing problems for years. He took me VERY seriously, has done extensive testing, and continues to help me find the answers. He's very knowledgeable, very professional, very thorough, and has presented diagnosis possibilities that other pulmonologist have never suggested. I'm grateful for his expertise, I really recommend him especially if you have autoimmune disease.

Find another Doctor, I work for LAPD and was referred to Dr Frank. This man asked why I was there?! I had a collapsed lung and required continuity of care by an authorized city doctor. I had copies of all my medical records and he refused to review the records. He told me that he will contact the city find out why I was there?! I spent only a few minutes with him. This man needs to retire now.

My wife went to Dr. Frank because she was in pulmonary distress. Dr. Frank asked he why she was there since she'd been to see other doctors that week. He didn't see anything serious and sent her home. 2 hours later at home she is delirious and about to pass out so she checks herself into Santa Monica Emergency . Turns out she has a fever of 105 with acute pneumonia and in sepsis. Spent the next week in the hospital.. IF MY WIFE HAD LISTENED TO DR. FRANK SHE WOULD BE DEAD.
