I recently moved to California from Toronto, where I had been cared by a family physician for many many years. Dr. Saracheck has always treated me with compassion, kindness, and respect. He is an extraordinary health care provider. He listens patiently and displays genuine concerns to address all of my questions relating to my health. I feel that I am in the very best care as his patient. He is truly one in a billion. I would like to add that the reception team and the MA team are very kind, supportive, and gracious. I am very fortunate to be in the care of Dr. Saracheck and his health care team.

I've seen this provider twice now. Both times he spent the majority of the visit typing what I said on my chart and not asking many questions himself. When I asked questions, he answered them in a dismissive tone. I would have preferred a more empathetic tone and consistent eye contact.

I was treated by the provider in the Urgent Care office in Santa Monica. He diagnosed my situation and prescribed an appropriate medication. The problem was resolved satisfactorily.
