I have 35 years of experience in treating and diagnosing Gastrointestinal disorders and internal medicine problems. This is a solo practice. I emphasize that every patient is given whatever time it takes to listen to and evaluate their problem. I excel clinically in simplifying problems so the patient is both able to understand the nature of their problem and why we together choose a strategy to get them well. The practice is very responsive to patient phone calls and the need to be seen on an urgent basis. I am an assistant clinical professor of medicine at UCLA for more than 20 years and teach at Cedars-Sinai Hospital. If conventional medicine is able to resolve the problem of the patient I am very open to discussing other alternatives and making recommendations.

Great

I have seen approximately 10 different doctors in the past few years. Dr. Feinstein is by far the best. He took his time to try and understand all the issues I have had in the last few years. At no point did I feel rushed. He is obviously experienced and knows what he is doing. After just one meeting, it is obvious to me that he cares for his patients and will do everything he can to treat them properly. I am relieved now that I have him as my doctor. Thank you Dr. Feinstein!

Caring

Doctor Feinstein has been our family Doctor, my wife and I, for many, many years. I had my annual physical on July 14, 2014. I am 73 years old and received a very good check-up. Doctor Feinstein is truly one of a kind. As a medical doctor he has an open mind regarding homeopathic medicine as well as the use of vitamins. He also stresses the importance of exercise and proper diet. He is very personable and easy to talk to on any subject. His genuine care and concern for his patients would be considered, "old School" in some circles today. When he called me two days later with my excellent lab results, he praised and encouraged me to guard my good health. I mentioned to him that on my very first visit some 18+ years ago his wall was plastered with thank you notes from his patients, young and old, male and female. I told him how much we appreciated him and as a result he referred me to this survey.(smile) In my opinion Doctor Feinstein is the best in his field, but much more importantly he is a very decent man and a great human being. We love him dearly, Sincerely, Ahmed Ali

Very Good

I knew I was in good hands almost as soon as I walked into Dr. Feinstein's office. He is incredibly intuitive and knowledgeable and made it easy for me to honestly explain my long and frustrating medical history. He took the time for me to understand what is going on with my body and made sure all of my questions were answered and fears addressed. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Great

I am always very nervous trying new doctor's, especially being new to the Los Angeles area. I did quite a bit of searching, and it seemed as though Dr. Feinstein had the best reviews and experience! Even though I live about 40 mins away(in traffic), I made the decision to give him a try. I was not disappointed. He, his office, and his staff were simply lovely. My experience was quiet and intimate, and I was not made out to feel like just a number. Being that it was my first time with Dr. Feinstein, his consultation questions were very thorough, he was very knowledgeable, honest, and to the point. And, he laid out all the possibilities on the table of what could be going on inside my body. He answered all my questions and concerns with ease, which made me feel instantly comfortable. I was quite nervous for the physical examination part, but again Dr. Feinstein handled it with the utmost professionalism and ease, and he made me feel as comfortable as can be. I am looking forward to seeing Dr. Feinstein for my upcoming procedure, and even though I have only had one visit with him, I trust him and his staff completely.

Nice

Loved how much time was spent with Dr. Feinstein talking through my concerns and learning about what the intestines do exactly!

Professional

I needed a new primary care doctor so I went to see Dr. Feinstein as a new patient for a general check up. The wait to see him was about 20 minutes. First, he reviewed my medical history and answered my questions about cholesterol, medications, family history, and various body aches. Next, he gave me a physical exam. My overall impression is that he is a thorough, patient, caring, and professional doctor with a good 'bedside' manner.

Knowledgeable

Dr. Feinstein was warm, caring and knowledgeable. He took his time in getting to know me as a person as well as getting all of my medical history. His explanation of the planned procedure was thorough yet delivered sensitively. He was able to calm my fears and answered all of my questions, I totally trust his judgment and would highly recommend Dr. Feinstein.

I had a colonoscopy procedure. The preparation information, pre and post procedural information was thorough, comprehensible and non-rushed. All my questions were answered to my liking. I consider the staff and Doctor to be of the highest professional caliber and I highly recommend them to others.

I have been treated by Dr. Feinstein for many years for my gastrointestinal health. I like him so much that I now use him as my Internist. He is very thorough, practical and articulate. I would recommend him highly.

Dr. Feinstein saw that I had bronchitis and proscribed the drugs to cure me. More important, when I asked about a dry patch on my skin, he immediately sent me downstairs to a dermatologist. It turned out that I had a skin cancer that was successfully removed. Dr. Feinstein is a competent and caring physician. I recommend him without reservation.

Thank you for spending so much time time with me on my initial consultation. You took the time to ask me pertinent information about my family history in order to solve my medical problems.

Love Dr. Feinstein and his staff. He saved my Mom's life and I owe him more than I could begin to imagine. Cancer is his specialty and he came highly recommended. Prince of a man as well.
