Editorial review from Citysearch 1/14/2013

Hello, my name is Olivia G. Dr. Borookhim is a kind, wonderful man. We've been going to him for many, many years and he is the best. Very thorough. He listens to everything you say, and answers every question. He cares about his patient. His staff is very helpful and friendly. My husband and I are grateful to have this respectful doctor as our physician. I highly recommend him! more

First Class Doctor! 9/1/2010

I was in search of a good Doctor while I was living in Lancaster, Ca and had no luck. I heard great reviews about Dr. Borookhim, but was hesitant because his office was an hour and a half away. Upon my arrival for my first appointment I signed in and waited just like every other office. To my surprise, a few minutes later, Dr. Borookhim personally came to the waiting room to get me for my appointment. Unlike other offices where a nurse calls you in, takes your vitals and puts you in a room for eternity, Dr. Borookhim personally took me in, did my vitals himself, and continued right on with my appointment. I was thoroughly impressed with not only how professional he is, but how personal he is. He listened to all my concerns, and addressed each one individually. I never felt rushed at anytime during the whole appointment. Not only does he take his time during visits, he personally responds to my phone calls and emails right away! I have seen Dr. Borookhim several times now, and would recommend him to anyone. He is a first class Doctor with first class service! more

be wary of reviews 1/12/2010

be wary of reviewers that have left only one review ever and that is a 5 star review of this dr. Immediately after I left a lengthy review on another site I received multiple messages on my cell phone asking to 'talk'. just thought I would throw my two cents in since I came to reviews like this before going to see him and was truly disappointed. Pros: thorough Cons: unprofessional, unbelievably expensive more

Exemplary Care Provider 4/2/2009

I am new to the area and went on-line in search for a new primary care physician. I found numerous rave reviews for Dr. B.

What a True Medical Professional! 10/23/2008

Dr. B is incredibly thorough and takes every precaution imaginable. I am truly lucky to have located him. He has a very calm and reassuring demeanor. He is incredibly communicative and avails himself whenever I have questions. This is quite an unusually glowing trait in the medical profession. Both my fiance and I go to him. You can't go wrong with Dr. B. He's always the consummate medical professional. Thank you for such great service and attention. more

A Consummate and Charming Doctor 10/9/2008

I was so glad to find Dr. Borookhim. I've lived in L.A for quite a while and have gone to a number of doctors over the years, but only when I met Dr. Borookhim did I feel that I had finally found my doctor. In his office I not only felt important and cared about, but also that I was in extremely capable hands. Plus he's young, which means I can look forward to a lifetime of care from a truly phenomenal doctor. more

Exceptional 9/16/2008

I was referred to Dr Borookhim to be cleared for surgery and by the time I left his office I had decided he would be my doctor. It was extremely refreshing to finally meet a doctor who puts care and health of patients first. Pros: Exceptional service more

Above & Beyond 6/2/2008

This doctor has called me back (promptly) even when it wasn't an emergency and he was out-of-state. Recently, I was in a lot of pain and called for an appointment. He was leaving early and couldn't initially accommodate me. Ultimately, he drove back to his office at the end of the day just to see me. In addition, I was impressed - and relieved- by the fact that when I apologized for the inconvenience, he didn't use it as an opportunity to make me wrong/glorify himself for going the extra mile for a patient. Pros: attentive, dedicated, kind, straight-shooter, goes out of his way for patients Cons: if you're looking for someone who believes in alternative medicine, you'll have to go elsewhere more

An Amazing Doctor !!! 4/6/2008

My father-in-law is a petient of Dr . Borookhim and since he has been his patient he has been as healthy and active as he was 20 years ago. Last year he was taken to the emergency department in Cedars-Sinai hopsital for very low sugar level, there my husband got to know about Dr Borookhim. The first time when my father-in-law went to see Dr .Borookhim he was barely able to walk, in a nut shell he was not in a very good shape. But since then his condition started to improve .His regular doctor before just used to see him once every few months and never discussed anything about his condition with us . This is never the case with Dr. Borookhim , he makes it a point to discuss his medications , his test results and any changes in his condition with us. Not only that ,he personally calls and explains the changes he makes with his medication and the reason for the changes. Dr. Borookhim is not only a dedicated physician , but also a kind , polite and an amazing human being , which are the qualities that makes him a ""GREAT"" doctor . Our family feels very ""fortunate"" to have known him as a physician and as a person. more

Great Doctor! 3/13/2008

I recently moved to LA and didn't have a general physician when I came down with an awful virus, so I went online and came across all the glowing reviews about Dr. Borookhim. I called his office to set up an appointment ,which is usually very difficult if you're a new patient, but I instantly got a call back from the DOCTOR himself and he managed to fit me in that morning! He was extremely attentive during the exam and even when I questioned his diagnosis by asking for a strep test (which came out negative as he predicted), he was totally courteous and friendly. He made a point to tell me that he doesn't prescribe unnecessary antibiotics, which I really appreciate. Dr. Borookhim even called me TWICE to follow-up , which I've never had a doctor do before, and was basically an all-around amazing resource throughout my illness. I'm so glad I found such a great doctor on my first try in a new city! more

Genuine & Real doctor. Fully competent and an example to other doctors. 3/11/2008

Very impressed with this doctor.. Took time out to work on the diagnosis. Very careful and very caring. The fact that he is also charming won't hurt either.. He is young but seems very motivated and yet very kind. Seemed very good-natured and fully competent. Another huge bonus is the nice staff. It's so hard to find nice receptionist in any doctor's office anywhere. The receptionist is very nice, very COURTEOUS, and caring just like the doctor. The doctor himself shows no authority, shows no distance, and overall very personal and genuine. He personally e-mails and even calls to check up on you. -- unheard of -- Pros: Good character of the doctor. Helpful / Real , no authority, compassion Cons: NA more

Best Doc in town! 2/27/2008

I actually found out about Dr. B courtesy of Yelp. The man is like a celebrity on that site with ?5 star? ratings everywhere and since I needed to get a physical I decided to schedule an appointment with his office. Considering the popularity of this guy I thought there was going to be a waiting list a mile long with his next available appointment sometime in 2009. Much to my surprise his kind receptionist, Rebecca, got me right in within a few days time. Now I don?t know about the rest of you but I?m not a big fan of Doctor?s offices, or Dentists for that matter, but I have to say Doctor B. made me feel right at home. He?s got a terrific beside manner and really pays special attention to all of your questions and concerns. I?m almost afraid to write anymore for fear that everyone will want to ditch their current physician and sign up with this guy! But how can I deny my new doctor such praise. Folks, if you?re looking for a top notch doc give Dr. B?s office a call. Trust me, you?ll be glad you did! more

Finally, a great doctor 2/12/2008

I sought a great doctor, and what I mean by a great doctor is such a complex definition is that I can only define it by example. Like most people I wanted the best, and I needed someone who had the bedside manner to deliver the message (and have me accept it) since it was obvious I hadn?t been to a doctor in a while. I needed a doctor who showed kindness and compassion in helping me to address my problem, and worked with me to find a solution that would be workable within the confines of what I could do physically and afford financially. I needed a doctor who didn?t just prescribe me some pills to send me on my way. I needed someone who would answer my calls or emails as I had questions or as I encountered obstacles in my road to good health. more

Amazing Doctor 10/30/2007

I was lucky enough to have stumbled upon Dr. Borookhim after an emergency room visit. Two doctors actually misdiagnosed my problem, and if it weren't for Dr. Borookhim's absolute commitment and relentless thoroughness, I would have been prematurely sent home and could have faced severe complications. This doctor literally saved my life, and I can't recommend him highly enough. more

Dr. Borookhim 10/29/2007

This doctor is prompt and a straight-shooter. Instead of running up the bill, he'll tell you if he thinks a particular test is a waste of time and which he feels is a good investment (and why). He doesn't take other calls during your appointment time, nor is his ego offended by questions. (He also had a very astute and logical answer to the question I had.) This doctor follows up by e-mail promptly; tried to find me a specialist for a procedure who didn't first require a consultation (which we both agreed wasn't needed under the circumstances); & then called me a day after our appointment to see if that specialist had contacted me. Dr B. isn't too open to alternative medicine, but if you're looking for a traditional internist who seems more interested in practicing medicine than golfing, he seems like a really good choice. more
