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'm reading all these reviews on how great Dr. Iskander is, unfortunately every time my mother has had a consultation with him it's less than 10 minutes with no real answers, instructions or advise just more medication and let the psychiatrist handle it. We come for professional help not be brushed off as if that's all you get. To add insult to injury I've never had a doctor charge to fill out a form or to issue a letter this is by far the most insulting of all.

Dr. Iskander is treating my 9 years old son with epilepsy since birth. He was having multiple types of seizures, shaking, stiffening, staring into space and dropping to the floor. Dr. Iskander adjusted my son medications and now he is seizure free for 6 months and now is doing much better in school. I appreciate his professionalism and his kindness. During my first visit he assured me that he will do his best to put my son's seizures under control and he did.

Dr. Iskander is a great Pediatric Neurologist. He is treating my 6 years old son with seizures since he was 6 month of age. He was having 3-4 seizures a day. He always fall and had several injuries. Dr. Iskander prescribe him a different seizure medicine and since then he did not have any seizures. My son Pediatrician told me he is the best Child Neurologist in Los Angeles and it is very true.

Dr. Iskander saved my life. I had headaches for few weeks. I visited Dr. Iskander. He sent me for MRI of Brain and he looked at it and sent me to get urgent CT Angiogram and he called me to come and see him as soon as possible. He told be I have giant aneurysm and he send me to UCLA ER and he called the ER and the neurosurgeon and they did surgery right away. They told me if I had waited few more days. The aneurysm would have ruptured and I would die. Thanks to Dr. Iskander for saving my life.
