Cohen Medical Centers - Thousand Oaks Rohan Iyer: Dr. Cohen is, without question, the most transformative physician and provider of care I have ever had the privilege of encountering. This assessment is not made lightly. It stems from extensive personal experience with numerous physicians across California, Massachusetts, Illinois, New York, and Pennsylvania. Dr. Cohen’s profound dedication to the total wellbeing of his patients sets him apart. He understands that health is not confined to the clinic. Rather, it extends to every single dimension of a person’s life. Dr. Cohen demonstrates a rare and genuine investment in his patients family dynamics, mental health, social engagement, dietary habits, and even their personal aspirations and dreams. He is a guiding figure and a friend.
Unlike many others, Dr. Cohen does not fall into the common trap of viewing patients merely through the lens of clinical care. He treats his patients as whole individuals, advising them while respecting their autonomy and considering the full depth of their lives. His commitment to this philosophy is evident in the extraordinary lengths he goes to support his patients. In my own experience, this meant not only answering a 2 a.m. phone call when I was enduring debilitating stomach pain, but also staying in communication with my family until the morning to ensure I received necessary medications promptly and without delay. Dr. Cohen and his team consistently go above and beyond, living in service of their patients.
Equally impressive is Dr. Cohen’s commitment to collaborating with the most accomplished specialists in the field. His own expertise is unparalleled, but he understands that medicine is a team effort. His network includes some of the most reputable neurosurgeons, gastroenterologists, oncologists, and psychiatrists in California—and in turn, the world. Dr. Cohen’s network is a reflection of his diligence and discernment in selecting colleagues who share his commitment to excellence. Unlike the all-too-common practice of offering generic referrals, Dr. Cohen ensures that his patients are entrusted to only the most skilled and compassionate specialists. This level of intentionality has been a paradigm shift. Amidst my most stressful moments, it entirely relieved me of the overwhelming burden of researching and identifying top-tier providers.
Having faced one health-related obstacle after another over the last few years, Dr. Cohen’s care and expertise provided me with an unfathomable advantage in overcoming each and every difficulty along the way. His unparalleled dedication, compassion, and competence have earned my highest recommendation, and I am confident he will inspire the same confidence in anyone fortunate enough to be under his care.
Dr. Asra S. Siddiqui, MD - Newbury Park ninacando09: Dr. Siddiqui is simply, the best. I have been her patient for many years. She and her amazing staff have been able to handle every one of my varied medical issues immediately and thoroughly. She is not just highly competent, she is also kind and a good listener. If you are fortunate enough to have Dr. Siddiqui as your doctor, you are fortunate indeed.
UCLA Health Westlake Village Primary & Specialty Care - Westlake Village Michelle: I wish I had read reviews before. I thought I was coming in for an annual well visit (covered by insurance not subject to deductible), but this office charged it as a level 4 office visit and after insurance discount I was charged $661. I would recommend you ask them what code they will use for your visit and checking with your insurance company before making an appointment. I will be needing a prescription renewal (for a thyroid medicine Ive been on over 10 years), and billing let me know that would be coded as an office visit and would cost at least $500. I am not returning to this office and am disgusted with their practices. They know full well that people coming in for a scheduled physical are expecting their insurance to pay--they should at least warn people. Dr. Tanvi Desai was okay, not great. Very disappointed overall. I do have to say that the building is nice and clean.
Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Center of Thousand Oaks - Thousand Oaks Coral Eisenbruch: Brought my cat in at 3am on New Years Eve, and was helped by Ryan, Dani, and Dr Martinez. They were quick, incredibly knowledgeable and the most sympathetic people I have ever met. Dani in particular (I hope Im spelling her name correctly) had the sweetest demeanor, and Im so grateful they were there to take care of my fur baby. For anyone complaining about expense - this is the responsibility you assumed as a pet owner. I did the math and this clinic is charging around $100/hr to take care of your pet, which includes all of their highly skilled veterinarians such as Dr Pinkerton who helped explain the remaining treatment process, their incredible and patient vet techs, their facility that is open 24/7 even on holidays, and all the required equipment and medicine to treat our pets. Im so thankful they were there to help my cat and while I hope I dont have any other emergencies, I know if I do theyll be well taken care of here at VSEC. Thank you to the whole team!!
