Dr. Yamini was wonderful throughout my time in his office and now that my treatment sessions are complete I'm fully healthy again. He was concise in his approach but patient and reassuring throughout the process, and the office staff had a flexible and friendly attitude which makes life much easier for me as a patient. Would highly recommend!

December 28, 2021Alanoud A.Verified patient
Bad experience, would not recommend at all. Similar to other reviewers/patients bad experience.
The appointment was rushed and wasted asking the same questions that had been asked in the in-take form. Also, the doctor did not listen and would cut me off (similar to what others have said). No value added at all and left without any indication as to what could be my health issue.
Also, they re-scheduled my appointment, then for a 30 min video appointment the doctor showed up late 10 minutes and ended 5 minutes earlier.
Bad experience from beginning to end.

May 7, 2021Georgette T.Verified patient
Hard to recommend. In my first and only consultation with him Dr Yamini was impatient, self serving and demanding. He cut me off when I started explaining my symptoms and insisted on shoehorning the interaction to a set of yes/no questions. I called him from the Bay Area for an online consultation. He ordered me to get a COVID test and then fly to LA to see him in person. For an undiagnosed stomach issue that was most likely a suspected ulcer he suggested a colonoscopy. Great idea in general perhaps but usually not for diagnosing an upset stomach.

The onboarding process is a bit outdated. I had to download a 13 page document from his website, fill it in with medical, SSN and credit card info, email it to the exec assistant, who's email address is from a parked domain. Not to mention the PDF document is a scan, so that means it's not easily filled in electronically. Seems like digital onboarding should be used here.

He's extremely thorough and doesn't discount your thoughts on what might be going on with your body. When I thought I had a throat ulcer he and his awesome office staff (Debra's the best) walked me through the steps efficiently. They really went above and beyond to work with my schedule as a new patient. The follow-up consultation after my endoscopy was reassuring and I no longer doubt what's going on with my gut health.

Unfortunately this office seems to be motivated by things beyond medical care during a pandemic. I made a Zocdoc appointment and the front office called me 4-5 different times up to 5 mins after the doctor was supposed to show up to our appointment demanding different unnecessary items each time in order for him to show up to the appointment which I did not have readily available at a moment's notice. Very poor experience.

Dr Yamini is very well informed and proactive in his treatment. His requested tests were able to locate areas of concern which required further investigation. Without his inquiry it would not have been possible. Very professional and highly recommended.

April 27, 2018Eva P.Verified patient
Makes talking about uncomfortable subjects a breeze. Competent and honest: doesn't sell vitamin cleanses and his own probiotics or anything like that. Makes sure your symptoms aren't half-fixed but fully fixed. Gets to the heart of the issue quickly. Good listener. Very sweet receptionist. I hate receiving many phone calls, and she's persistent about making sure you set up an appointment; it was stressing me out. I found the her much easier to connect with once she gave me her cell and said to text.
February 3, 2018Kendall S.Verified patient
I can’t say enough great things about my first impression of this doctor and his amazing staff! They got me right in and set me up for everything needed. I’ve been looking for the right GI doctor for years having had a very negative experience with another doctor years ago. Dr. Yamini is not only professional, knowledgeable, respectful, and experienced... this guy is “cool” and nice too!
His front desk person, Toni was amazing! She was kind, bright, efficient, patient, and positive!

He was very gentle about my situation yet did not fail to emphasize about the seriousness that could arise from gastrointestinal problems. Few and far between are as professional and caring as Dr. Yamini and his staff. I was 20 minutes late on Friday evening & they still had me in a room in 5 minutes as a new patient.
