Samuel Bern

"Very "conservative", very thourough, very personal (and I don't mean personable). He sees each person or "case" individually. He doesn't offer a "menu", but,rather, he takes each case as if it were his 1st"

Brian Brantner

"He asked what I wanted. I asked what he thought. He said it is up to the patient!! I actally wouldn't have minded a little impartial input...... His attitude was, "I could care less whether you see me again." Like "take it or leave it""

Theodore M. Khalili

"He was chosen for me by my HMO Med Grp. I knew Cedar Sinai has an EXCELLENT reputation, so I was thrilled. He was straight forward, sincere. I think that most of us who get to the point of actually speaking w/a surgeon have already done a TON of homework, so I didn't have many questions for him. He asked me WHY I wanted this surgery. He didn't ask for a Phych.Eval..he said I had my head on straight and had realistic expectations. The office is busy!! I had to tell the office people the same details each time I called as if we'd never spoken. I have been asked 3 times in the last 3 phone calls if I've had my pre-op tests done......"

Cindy Wong

"Distantly polite.No real eye contact or attempt to "connect" with me at all. Felt sort of alienated. Wants us to take the "wrong" kind of calcium supps (not citrate)...."
