Dr. Farkas good Dr.

by sexymother40 at Citysearch

I had the opportunity today in having a consultation with Dr. Farkas today. I read several reviews, back and forth including the ones in yelp. I see many of the reviews in yelp are filtered, but are very positive. As a business owner myself, I am not happy with yelp myself. Regardless, Dr. Farkas has been one of the few physicians, that I have been happy with, other the my dentist, which is in his office Dr. Rivera. He explained to me all of my concerns and did not make me feel rushed. I realized his staff was behind, but Dr. Farkas was nice to tell me, that we could continue our conversation another time. He gave me his personal email and allowed me to email me any questions I had still or had forget to tell him during our consultation. What impressed me the most was that he gave me choices. I like that he made me do research on the therapy he advised me to have. He told me to discuss this first with my family practice Dr.Schenkal. Then I could start. The office manager Stephanie was helpful and explained to me what my insurance would cover. He also referred me to another doctor that he wanted me to see first. The office did not try to sell me anything. Every one was very warm and caring. My only complaint was that they need better magazines. I did not see him for weight loss but for a thyroid condition I have. I been on medication for last 10 years and my hair is falling off and tired 24/7.

Comment from Owner and Medical Director

by GlenFarkasMD at Citysearch

I do encourage patients to give comments or reviews as they freely wish to do so. I would appreciate that you give honest reviews and not false reviews. Clearly the person that wrote this review before this, never came to my office as they would of realized that Dr. Randall Caldron former owner of Nova Medical Center is no longer in practice since August of 2011. I have purchased the domain name and taken over his practice in West Hills only. All the new practices in Palmdale and Los Angeles are all new and run and operated by either myself or Dr. Speller. I do have several associates that work with me also, Dr. Nasim and Dr. Maxey. I have trained family practice and Internal Medicine Physician Assistant's and Nurse Practitioner's. I was surgeon for years, but I am trained physician that has extensive training during my residency at USC Medical School in family practice in Internal Medicine. I am more than qualified to manage your care. I believe in preventative medicine and don't practice just weight management. My views and methods of treatment are completely different from Dr. Caldron. I have open the doors to my practice and will continue to bring many new providers and employee's that see my goals. I am simply not a diet doctor or just give medication. I will never sugar coat any method but simply try to give you the best option in feeling better. I have many new methods of treating you and making you feel better. I thank you for your time.

Glen Farkas, M.D.

AVOID

by tenmasncrunkgrl at Citysearch

This office is a scam. The receptionist or "office manager" is not a doctor, nurse, or has any health credentials but he wrote me a prescription and wrote the order for my blood tests....wtf? This guy basically runs the office and tries to sell you whatever weight loss crap he can, and he hypocritically is fat himself. His eyes lit up when he heard I had PPO and tried to sell me everything imaginable and tried to give me a consultation...excuse me, you have a high school diploma, why on earth are you acting like my doctor? When I asked to a see a real doctor, I was introduced to a "Glen Farkas" who according to an online directory search is really registered as an....ophthalmologist? Why is this guy working at a weight loss office? Dr. Caldron, it seems like, has opened several offices, floats amongst them, and leaves unqualified individuals in charge. AVOID

Saved My Life!

by lunacookie at Citysearch

In January I was told I had a immune disorder that was causing my platlet levels to go low and me suffering major bone pain. I had seen over ten specialist that could tell me what I had, other than they called it ITP. What ever that is? Regardless, I was put on meidcation that made me sick and crazy. I gained over 60 pounds. I was desperate, until I met Dr. Farkas, He also suffered through stage 4 cancer. Dr. Farkas recommended glutathione therapy. At first I was skeptical, but I thought, what the hell, I had tried everything else, I had nothing else to lose. After 1st treatment, I felt that it was going to work. I felt my pain decrease. I did a two month treatment and after visting my dr., he was speechless and could not explain, why? I was back to normal. All I know Dr. Farkas knew his stuff. The staff is great and Marci the acupuncturist helped also helped me with my pain.

Dr. Farkas educated me on my illness

by bigerbenam at Citysearch

Well it seems that they have gone through new management change and owners. I think it was for the best by speaking to other past patients. I was pleased with Dr. Farkas and especially with his Physician Assistant Elise Taylor. The combination of both of them are better than reading a book. They educate you on your illness and explain the process with you. I started on HRT today, lets see how it goes.
