“The PA, Tricia Lacey was excellent, thorough and wonderful with Jayme (8 yrs old). Bambi, the casting tech, was also PHENOMENAL! She put Jayme right at ease while casting and during removal of the cast. Thank you to all of the staff that made a broken arm a not scary experience for my daughter.”

“This was a very timely appointment. I was seen on schedule. My MRI was explained well. I was shown on the image as he explained what was going on and what each thing meant. I was given a shot and ultrasound was used for a perfect placement plus to show and explain the fluid there. Very pleasant and professional office staff and person I saw.”

“The doctor and the entire staff were very kind and professional. They explained the procedure that was being done on me(Transforminal epidural injection) and asked if I had any questions. I was a bit nervous at first, but when I met the doctor before my procedure, he made me feel at ease and all my worries went away!”

“I saw Dr. David Auerbach for a 2nd opinion regarding the need for surgery on my left rotator cuff. First let me mention that Dr. Auerbach has been named by Los Angeles magazine several years in a row as a Super Doctor. That is impressive in itself but my firsthand experience with him I found to be even more compelling. i was super impressed with Dr. Auerbach's timely efficient communication with his support staff, his professionalism including his bedside manner, his analysis of the problem with my shoulder and his prompt communication with both me and the first surgical MD. Dr. Auerbach carefully compared the movement of my good shoulder to my injured shoulder and explained in detail to me what he saw as the problem with my injured shoulder. He then followed up with the first MD and together they came up with a plan that put me at ease. Thank you Dr. Auerbach for your commitment and dedication to providing the utmost in quality care.”
