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.

I just found Dr. Gamberdella warm and friendly and concerned and considerate and generous. I fully appreciate appreciated every minute I spent in the offices

That was my first meeting with the doctor, and I could not have been more thrilled with his response, his kindness and his clarity, his wisdom and his inclusivity for my situation and the possibilities coming.

Was here for consultation. The doctor explained the extent of my injury very well. I felt I walked out knowing what was really going on with my knee. He put me in touch with another doctor at Cedar-sinai that specializes in my injury.

The doctors at Kerlan Jobe are great listeners. It makes the decisions a conversation instead of just being told.

It is worth it to me to travel the distance to see Dr Gambardella because he listens, explains and talks with you, not yo you. He's the best doctor I know!
