December 18, 2025Crystal C.Verified patient
The doctor is great, however, I booked a blood test with them at 9am at their office and when I went, nobody from their staff was there even though they called and confirmed a 9am appointment the previous day. A staff member that worked under a different provider was nice enough to help me though.

Dr. David Lalezari always has excellent bedside manners, takes his time to listen and understand my 84- yr old Mother's experiences and concerns, is very thorough in making sure she is up to date with appropriate tests and refers her to excellent specialists. Also, his staff is equally friendly and professional. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Lalezari to anyone interested. An excellent physician.
February 20, 2024Philomena C.Verified patient
I liked him. He was assigned to me when i was an inpatient at Cedars in the past and I was so impressed. When my work situation changed I can longer see my old PCP due to scheduling issues.
His staff is WONDERFUL, very prompt to return calls.
I really liked him but I am not a fan of having a second person in the room for my exam. Due to MY issues seeing a new (ish) Dr is hard enough but having a second person in the room was too much. I wish I were able to speak up in the moment... I am working on it....

Really productive visit with Dr. Lalezari. He actually listened to my concerns and promptly acted on them.
Really happy with this doctor, even though the front-office experience was a little odd (multiple offices share the same space). Will return.

April 7, 2023Miguel C.Verified patient
I was really impressed with my entire end-to-end experience! Dr. Lalezari was exactly what I was looking for in my next GP: an empathetic listener; kind, upbeat, and professional; approachable and knowledge when it came to all my questions and concerns; and very proactive, curious, and thorough in his approach and practice.
I appreciated how generous Dr. Lalezari was with his time and loved how much he and his team made sure I felt heard, understood, and all my concerns were comprehensively addressed. He and his team made sure I had some clear action plans and next steps, and a timeline for expectations. I left the office with a positive outlook for the future of my health and wellness thanks to Dr. Lalezari and his team.
10/10 would recommend!
