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.

Dr Isaacson and Cindy are exceptional medical professionals

Dr Isaacson listened to me and discussed my concerns with me, taking his time to understand my condition and my desired outcome. He was kind, understanding and I felt very comfortable with his assessment of my knee issues.

I wouldn't recommend Dr. Isaacson. I should have seen from day one that he was not the right doctor, but I didn't, so I am writing this review to help other patients to not make the same mistake I made. You should have an indication that he is not up to the part when you try calling for an appointment. He is ALWAYS available. Not a good sign. But that does not mean he will use his free time to take care of the patients. My consultations were short, he barely asks questions, and I only noticed how bad he was after trying another doctor for a second opinion. I don't want YOU to have to do that as well. There are much better doctors in this area. Unfortunately, Dr. Isaacson has no manners and makes hurtful jokes. It is one after the other. From saying that my foot was too big for a lady, to tell me to "toughen up" when I was in pain, he makes you feel awful. From beginning to end. You deserve better, you do not need to be told to toughen up while in pain. Go somewhere else, please.

Received the single most obscene medical bill of my life from Dr. Isaacson and Cedars imaging +$3k for Xrays of my shoulder and knee. These had been done by another Dr in West LA previously for $300. I called my insurance co. the supervisor there has never seen an X Ray at that dollar figure. MRIs are 1/3 of this fee. The practice is predatory.

Dr. Isaacson is an outstanding surgeon. He has done an arthroplasty on both knees (first one 5 years ago) and I have had excellent results. He is very caring and kind but even more important an extremely skilled surgeon. I have had no problems with either knee. I stood the day of surgery and have not stopped moving since. Also, Cindy, his office assistant is very helpful and efficient. She made everything run smoothly I felt confident I was receiving the best care at all times.

I love this doctor! He is all about the patient's needs. I am a 36 year old woman who has had all my surgeries with him. I was diagnosed with bilateral dysplasia at the age of 5. I've had multiple hip surgeries throughout my growing years. He's been my doctor since then. He replaced my right hip at age 30 and it looks like I need a left hip replacement now. I live in Las Vegas but I am willing to fly to Los Angeles to have Dr. Isaacson be my surgeon once again! That's confidence!!!
