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.

Everyone was very kind & friendly in the office. The office is very clean. The only problem is the ten dollar parking lot on Wilshire, way too expensive!

Been going to DR Kades since 2008. He's very patient, pleasant and takes time to explain things. His Office staff is extremely efficient, especially with paperwork. Anytime, I need papers signed and filled, among 6 doctors i have, it's him I turn to. Right now, he's taking care of me for lupus and transverse myelitis , which made me paralyzed.

Dr. Kades, I feel, really cares about his patients. I have been his patient for a long time and he has truly helped me with my pain, helped me manage it. There are lot of doctors out there who just writes prescriptions but Dr. Kades is not like that. He wants to make sure he's giving me the right medication for my pain and that my body is responding to them correctly. I am so grateful!!!

I would highly recommend Dr. Kades to anyone in need of a great Rheumatologist. He has a friendly and knowledgeable staff. Dr. Kades gives you a warm smile when he walks into the patient room and gives you all the time needed for questions. He has also slowed down the progression of my RA over the years by monitoring my blood work and Vectra DA blood work along with physical examination. With these he is able to give you the right medication and dosage to keep your RA/OA in check.

I have been seeing Dr Kades for many years now, and I have been extremely pleased with him. It has been a process, but my condition has improved tremendously and I credit Dr. Kades for a huge part of that. He is trustworthy and very knowledgeable and treats his patients with great care. Also, Esmeralda, and the staff at the front desk are great with the patients and have the highest level of kindness and professionalism.

Dr. Kades and his staff go above and beyond to help their patients. I've been seeing Dr. Kades for several years in both locations, and he has never been anything but wonderful. I suffer from a pretty debilitating spinal disease, but Dr. Kades constantly makes me feel better both physically and emotionally. I honestly don't know what I would do without him and his awesome staff. I am grateful to them every single day. Definitely go to Dr. Kades if you're looking for a A+ PERFECT rheumatologist!
