All I can say is WOW! My appointment with Dr. Ishaaya did not feel like a doctor’s office. No wait, friendly and efficient staff from the girls in the front desk to the nurses and the doctor. Everyone took their time with me to make me feel comfortable and answer my question. Everything is clean, so I felt very safe. I feel like they really care about my health and well being. Thank you! I came in with some health concerns and was very happy to be able to get all the necessary tests in this doctor’s office during my appointment. The doctor took his time to discuss his thoughts with me and gave me choices as to what he thought should be done. I like that he did not have the doctor’s God syndrome that some doctors have. I feel at ease that Dr. Ishaaya is on my health team and he will take care of me. I was referred by my primary to see Dr. Ishaaya. I found him and his staff to be very professional, caring and efficient. I was able to get all my tests done during my appointment. It saved me time and got me answers fast. I got my ultrasound done by a very polite and professional technician, and my breathing test was done by another technician who was very patient with me. Overall, I am very happy with this office. More
My Dr.s appointment was at 10:30 a.m., I got friendly reminders, as well as a link to fill out my paperwork prior to my arrival. Upon my arrival, wait time was no more than five minutes and appoint would be 1.5 hours. They were on schedule - amazing service by all. Professional, friendly, super clean facility. Highly recommend! More
I was having issues with my asthma and a friend recommended Dr. Ishaaya, I couldn’t have been more pleased with my experience. I have been to a few doctors over the years, but none compare to my visit with Dr. Ishaaya. He spent time listening to what I was experiencing and then recommended a course of treatment. The inhaler he prescribed has worked wonders and I couldn’t be happier. He even called a week or so later to follow up and make sure I was doing well. I really recommend this doctor If you are experiencing any respiratory issues! More
The staff is wonderful my tech. Mitch is great he does my author sound on my heart. He has a great bedside manner .My nurse is great as well. She has my best interest in mine. My Docter is a wonderful caring person. It I very hard to find physician that really care. I have been going here for about 10 years. Positive experience all the way around . O ALA CA More
I highly recommend Dr. Ishaaya, who is exceptional along with his staff. I called Dr. Ishaaya’s office and explained my medical emergency. They were able to accommodate to my busy schedule and fit me in that SAME day for not only an examination by Dr. Ishaaya, but also scheduled me for imaging tests despite the fact that I would be a new patient. Dr. Ishaaya gave me a full work up and ordered labs/imaging. He took an extended amount of time to review my imaging results, and answered all my questions (a lot of them!) with such patience and kindness. You will not find a doctor more attentive, kind, and thorough as Dr. Ishaaya. Not to mention, it is not easy finding a doctor with great credentials and an individual who cares deeply for his patients, but I’m lucky to have found Dr. Ishaaya. As for Dr. Ishaaya’s staff and technicians, they are phenomenal, super friendly, and attentive to patient’s needs.Overall, if you’re looking for a doctor who knows what he’s doing and is knowledgable in the medical field, go see him! He’s the best. More
Dr. Ishaaya and key members of his service providers, including Nurse Practitioner Melissa Tauer and scheduler Anastasia (I hope I recall hers, accurately, as she is always a delight!), are consistently among the most personable, attentive, meticulously-detailed, and genuinely patient medical personnel in the HISTORY of my experience with doctors' offices. I have ALWAYS appreciated the thorough, exploratory approach to diagnosis and the healthiest strategies to remedies and healing. I sometimes catching myself marveling that I don't have "another question" after appointments there. It's unexpected and so appreciated that Dr. Ishaaya will typically call a day after a visit, to see how I'm feeling. I should add that I just had an extensive recent tele-visit with Melissa amid this Covid pandemic - and was beyond-satisfied with her level of care, thoughtfulness and time. I cannot recommend this office enough - for any of Dr. Ishaaya's specialties, or as a Primary Care Physician! More

Great office and staff. My initial intake was super fast, and I was brought in immediately. Office was clean and safe. They had guest WiFi. Medical staff spoke to me immediately, and the doctor came in shortly after. The doctor was thorough and patient, and answered my questions. I was out of there in a short time, and was really pleased with the entire visit. More
Only a first visit so far, but impressed with the quality of service and facility. Nurse practitioner who saw me was nice, thorough and methodical which is what I’m looking for. Looking forward to going back for my tests and to see the Doctor himself. Thank you! More
As a new patient, I was impressed by the efficiency and friendly experience I had. I spoke to the NP and Dr. Ishaaya and felt they understood what my medical condition was and would get my medication approved asap. The entire appointment was 30 minutes and really left with a positive experience. More
I was impressed with how efficient the office was run. The required forms were all paperless. Everybody was concerned to make sure that social distancing and safety were priority. The doctor was friendly knowledgeable and on time. I noticed they were cleaning the exam room as soon as my son and I were leaving. More
I love Dr.Ashaaya. I have been a patient with Dr. Ashaaya for 1 year now and my experience with him is always phenomenal.He always listen to me and will do the necessary test to get to the bottom of the issue. His office is far from my house so sometimes when I have a question regarding my health issue, I call his office and he calls me back and makes sure everything is going well and guides me in the right direction. I highly recommend him. More
I believe Dr. Ishaaya has two offices at the location, and I saw him this morning for a pre-employment physical. I was very impressed with how organized the entire experience was. Dr. Ishaaya was very personable and understanding that my blood pressure always goes up when I go to the doctor (& he allowed me to have it retested after a few minutes. I want to especially acknowledge the young man who was the medical assistant and radiology tech in the office. He was extremely professional. As Registered Nurse, I would encourage anyone to feel comfortable making an appointment to see Dr. Ishaaya. I definitely know a good Doctor when I see one More
Dr. Ishaaya was so terrific and knowledgeable along with his very friendly staff. I recommend them highly. I was able to get a allergy test, a breathing test and a chest x-ray, and then the results with the Dr. in a very short amount of time. It was seamless and I really appreciated not having to make 4 different appointments to get this all done. I would highly recommend Dr. Ishaaya to everyone!! More
Denise was very patient in helping me schedule an appointment. The visit was an in-and-out experience and on point. The staff provided sufficient information regarding parking and online registration. The process was easy and convenient. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. More
Honestly, this doctor is a Godsend. He actually listened to me when I said I couldn't breathe. He did a bunch of tests and figured things out that no doctor had before. He was nice and patient and made sure I got out to my car on time so I didn't get towed. I'm honestly going to him for everything. Also, his office staff is beyond nice. More
For the first time I attended this place formy appointment with Dr. Ishaaya and I am highly impressed by the receptionists, the nurses and the Doctor himself. All were so kind and had patience to listen to my health problems for which I am grateful, and so happy choosing this office for my pulmonary issues. More

Dr. Ishaaya is the best!!! He cares about his patients and it shows. He listens to me and discusses my issues in depth. I feel very fortunate to have him as my doctor for many years now, and I refer all of my friends to him. Thank you, Dr. Ishaaya! More
Great doctor, I've been in his care for over five years. He is very organized and efficient, yet makes himself available for any questions or concerns. He's been with me through some scary stuff that turned out to be ok. He cares and it shows. Dr. Ishaaya also likes patients to be involved in their care and i appreciate this a lot. More
I had a stellar first visit with Dr. Ishaaya. His office runs like a well-oiled machine. I was seen right away. The doctor himself was very helpful, knowledgeable, and proactive. His team conducted four tests that I needed all during my appointment and he met with me to discuss the results immediately after. I felt I was in excellent hands. More
It is rare, if ever you have a doctors appointment where you arrive and seen within 20 minutes of the scheduled time. Well, this is a time where not only was I seen on time but, was complete within 30 minutes. This, by far, was the best appointment I have ever had. I was able to have blood drawn, x-ray's taken, EKG and see the nurse practitioner all within 30 minutes. Everyone was so nice and the nurse who did my exam, although I don't remember her name, she was simply fantastic. One of the best nurses I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I wish I could make this my permanent office, I surely would. More

I had the best experience at Dr. Avi Ishaaya’s Office for my pre-op exam. All the staff were very friendly from the first initial contact until I was done with the exam. I was given a very thorough work up and every tech/nurse was very polite and assuring which made the experience actually pleasurable. I would recommend Dr. Ishaaya’s office to anyone. It is a breath of fresh air to visit a doctor’s office where patient care comes first. More
This is a medical establishment for the new millennium. Fast and easy process checking in, filling out the necessary forms. Pleasent enviroment with patient helpful staff seeing patients of all range of ages and nationalities. Dr Ishaaya was very pleasent, informative and succinct in his explanations. I was a more positive experience than ive ever had going to see a Doctor! I'm on board! Orestes Lorandos More

I loved my experience with doctor Ishaaya and his staff. He is great, humble, and intelligent. He is a real doctor who cares about his patient. His staff is very nice and professional. The girl who helped me most of the time(I don’t know her name. She is hispanic with dark hair) is such a nice and kind human being. She was very patient with me since I was so sick. More

Dr. Ishaaya has extensive knowledge in many medical fields. I had a complex issue in the past that dr ishaaya was able cure and make me well. I went to many specialists none were able to properly diagnose my unique condition. He never gave up when others did thank you More
I haven't been to the Dr in a few years because I hate the process. This place has made the experience easier, I didn't haven't to wait 3 weeks to set up an appointment which was a huge plus, I set it up the next week. Everyone was friendly and they have texting options which is also a big benefit since I'm not a huge phone talker and it's easier to text and not be on hold. After 2 tests I've had done, the doctor has been very prompt on letting me know the results and calling me the next day which saves the annoyance of waiting. Overall I've been impressed so far. Parking is the only negative but it's not that much, there is a lot next door that's about $4 an hour max of $10 More
Compared to PCP’s I’ve had in the past, it is always easy to get a timely appointment with Dr. Ishaaya. The staff are friendly and professional. The doctor will give you his honest opinion. I’ve been going to him for years. Highly recommend especially if you have allergies or sleep issues. More
This was my first visit to see Dr. Ishaaya. I was referred to him by my Cardiologist for Sleep Apnea and COPD. The visit was very organized and thorough. When I checked in I was given a tablet to enter all of my contact, insurance information and copay. I was seen by the nurse to review all of my medications. Then I had testing done (x-ray and pulmonary function testing) before I saw the Doctor. So when I was seen Dr. Ishaaya he had the tools needed to make an assessment. When we were leaving his staff brought us prescription information, and scheduled our follow up. This was one of the most beneficial appointments. On the way out of the office I grabbed one of his business cards and saw that he is also a Primary Care Physician. I will be switching over to him from my current provider. More
Dr. Ishaaya and his staff are honestly the best I’ve ever experienced. They care, squeeze me in if it’s emergency, follow up with me and really take the time to make sure I’m feeling better. Thank you guys for your incredible hospitality and care. It is definitely recognized and appreciated. More
This was my first time at dr Abraham Ishaaya’s, from the moment I walked in I was impressed. The front desk girls were so friendly and the health questionnaire was very quick and using cutting edge technology. I was seated right away his nurses and entire staff are very knowledge, true professionals. I was at ease even while tests were being done. Dr Ishaaya is a caring, personable, and listens to my concerns. I’ll be referring everyone I know to Dr Ishaaya’s office. I had a exceptional visit. Love the entire staff. Good job everyone! More
I love Dr Ishaaya Abraham! I had been having lots of coughing for years & other doctors couldn't figure it out. Went to Dr. Abraham after seeing all the great yelp reviews. Within a few visits he figured out my problem, gave me a medication, & a few weeks later I was 100% better. Best doctor. I'd highly recommend. More

Dr. Ishaaya has been my primary care physician for several years now, and I'm so glad to have found him. The staff there is first-class - they are always super nice and attentive to my needs. Dr. Ishaaya is really thorough and does a great job listening to any medical issues that have popped up! Extremely knowledgable in many different areas. 5 stars! More
I loved my experience at this office. The receptionist was really nice and he didn’t mind letting me do my urinalysis as soon as I got there....I was in traffic for two hours and had to go. My nurse was awesome. She had a great positive attitude and loves what she does. I would definitely come back here for medical treatment! More
Love that I didn't have to wait in a crowded waiting room. Got there early and expected to be there 1.5 hours, but I was out quicker than expected. After my blood was drawn I was offered a snack to break my fast & it was greatly appreciated. Friendly staff made me feel comfortable right away. More
Dr.ishaaya is my primary and the ONLY Dr I've never been afraid of going to. He's kind, he listens, and he knows I'm a hypochondriac so he will always reassure me or guide me in the right direction so I can have piece of mind. He's incredible and I am so happy I found him because I wouldn't be going to a Dr if it hadn't been for him. More

Wonderful staff- Junior always answers phones quickly with a friendly & welcoming voice. Darcy is an excellent MA, who immediately makes you feel at ease. I see Dr. Ishaaya for both sleep medicine and internal med. He is very professional, compassionate, and thoroughly explains all options. He is very easy to reach if I have questions outside of my appt. I appreciate that he is fully integrated w EHR, which streamlines the workflow of everything. He is excellent with follow-up on even the little things, like letting me know that he received my medical records from another physician. I am very happy with my Dr. Ishaaya, and strongly recommend him. More
Prompt, courteous, professional service starting from NURSES and ending with the doctor. One of the very few doctors nowadays who does not rush, who will listen and explain every procedure and or test results, who will take his time to answer all the questions , you might have. Over all one of the best in the field and highly recommended. - Jimmy More
Dr Ishaaya and the staff are professional as well as warming. He genuinely takes his time to listen to your issues and quickly responds to them. His staff has a positive energy which you feel as soon as you sign in. Other offices should take notes. I’m so glad I found this office. Thank you doc and staff!! Ronaldo San Jose More
Most of doctors hurry to leave the room to see other patient in my experience. Before I walked into Dr. Ishaaya office, I expected same treatment as before because of my medicare HMO. I was very surprised when Dr. Ishaaya walked in. He was take a time to talk to patient Re; current plan, future treatment, and answering my questions. He even asked me, "do you have any more questions for me?" He paused until I said, "no more for now." He even tells me, he is expecting to see me more less 2 weeks depends on how soon HMO gives authorization. I'm planning to change to regular medicare from HMO when it's time for new enrollment. So I can go to see doctor like Dr. Ishaaya who I like to see without limitation. I definitely recommend DR. ISHAAYA. More
I had a wonderful experience at Dr. Ishaaya’s office from the very beginning. They were able to fit me in right away, which I really appreciated. The staff was incredibly sweet and professional. I usually dread going to a doctor’s office, but their team makes you feel very comfortable. And I really loved Dr. Ishaaya. He’s very intelligent, and I can tell that he actually cares about his patients. He was able to come up with a plan to help me. He made me feel hopeful that my breathing problems would be fixed. My previous doctor told me that he couldn’t help me. Dr. Ishaaya has a great bedside manner. He even called me himself a week after my initial appointment, to check in on me. I’m so happy to finally find a great primary doctor, and I’ve been searching for many years. More

Everyone was very happy, smiling, professional. Every employee that passed through the waiting room greatted us. The office was clean and nicely decorated with artwork and positive massages posted on the walls. It gave to something to do while you waited to see the Dr. The wait was no longer then 5-7 minutes. More
Dr. Ishaaya is the best. Always available, takes a personal interest in his patients, super knowledgeable, and extremely patient and courteous. He has been the physician for my family for years and recently began to treat my parents. He is board certified in allergy and immunology, pulmonary medicine, internal medicine and gerontology is he has been able to meet the needs of my husband. And I, our children and our parents. I recently referred a co-worker with severe asthma who was constantly missing work due to flare ups. I could hear him wheezing and struggling to breath and one day I told him his asthma wasn’t under control and he should try Dr Ishaaya. He transferred to Dr. Ishaaya and within a few months his asthma was under control and remains so to this date! More
my visit with Dr Ish is always pleasant 😍 the crew is very much compassionate and efficient. i am really glad to have found them. really hard these days to find genuine caring group, and these guys are wonderful! thanks dr ish and everyone in your team for always taking good care of us there. happy your my PCP! 😍 More

First time visit to this specialist and by far impressed with the overall experience. The office is very clean and more modern than what you would expect seeing the outside of the building. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. Medical staff was very professional, prompt, and attentive. The Dr. did not keep me waiting, was patient with addressing my questions, and seemed genuinely concerned for my well-being. Best experience I’ve had visiting a specialist. Also noticed that other patients leaving seemed to be in more of a positive mood than I’ve seen in any other office after a visit. Would definitely recommend this Dr. and this office to friends and family. More
In and out fast. No fuss. No hassle. I even found parking right out front (READ POSTED SIGNS). Staff is friendly and quite accommodating; office seems up to date on technology; inviting, clean, and clutter free atmosphere. Will definitely be returning to this office. More
So, I don’t often write reviews but I felt compelled too share my recent experience with Dr. Ishaaya. Gauging by the 5 star review I’m sure you’ve assumed it was good. I’ve been dealing with extremely sensitive and easily triggered asthma for roughly 4 months. I am a self employed artist and I don’t have health insurance, therefore I was hesitant to schedule an appointment with a specialist due to cost. After reaching a breaking point with my asthma situation I contacted Dr. Ishaaya’s office and they got me an appointment within 2 days. My entire experience with him and the staff from start to finish was great and very professional. After running a few tests we discovered that I had pretty severely inflamed lungs and he got me started on a daily steroid, which after two weeks has cut my inflammation levels in over half. I haven’t used my rescue inhaler in over a week, which before see Dr. Ishaaya I was using over 2-3 times a day. I sincerely can’t thank him and his staff enough. Highly recommended. More

If I could give 100 stars to Dr. Ishaaya and his team I would. Let's start with the doctor. He is very professional and knowledgeable, he listened and answered all of my questions. His team is really great. Ash is really nice and fast, he takes care of everything right away. Melissa is a sweetheart and she's very caring and responsible. The rest of his team Junior and Venessa, they all are very helpful and nice. The waiting was short and I had a great experience during and after my visit. I called a few times after my visit and Ash and Melissa took care of all of my requests right away. Even Dr. Ishaaya who is way too busy took his time to call me himself and answered my questions. I am very glad I found this doctor. More
Excellent doctor, so glad we found him. Let's patients be involved in their care. Makes himself accessible. Listens. Cares. Dr. Ishaaya is the best:) More

Came to see Dr. Ishaaya through a recommendation from Dr. Ludmilla Bess, another amazing doctor. I couldn't believe how friendly, knowledgeable and efficient Dr. Ishaaya was, including his entire staff. I brought up my problematic wheezing cough (possibly asthmatic, possibly allergic, possibly both) that's been going on for years. The doctor immediately suggested that I do a bunch of test, including the skin igg sensitivity test, right here at his office. I was taken through the tests very efficiently. I also got a bonus B12 shot I asked for. The results came out right away and were super informative. What an amazing experience, I highly recommend Dr. Ishaaya for your breathing needs! More

About 15 years ago, I was taking my mother to the emergency room for her allergies and asthma, and the ER doctor suggested we go to Dr. Ishaaya. We did go and we are very pleased that we did. Dr. Ishaaya and his staff are very capable professionals, and do a great job! Dr. Ishaaya has a wonderful bedside manner, and his concern for his patients shows in everything that he does. My husband now goes to Dr. Ishaaya for his asthma, and we are very thankful that he is our family doctor. More
Amazing doctor! Nice and professional staff! Such a well run office I was very impressed. I had a 1:30pm appointment and I was seen right on time. His PAs are so informative and they take their time. A doctor who finally truly cares about his patients!! They even have these cool video monitors in every exam room with lots of educational health information. Clean and great office!! Oh and to top it off they call you to personally follow up with your visit and see if you have any questions. Now this is what I call a great doctor!!! 5 Stars More

The entire office is always professional and courteous. They never have you waiting long, I've been a few times over last few months and every visit is a great. They have a great effective system and the doctor should be commended. He takes the time to answer your questions and makes sure you understand everything before your done. They even do a follow up call the next day to make sure your ok and don't have any questions. More
From parking in the underground parking structure, which is free with validation, to the front desk staff, to the back office technicians and with Dr. Jeffery Lewis, my office visit was pleasant and professional. Definitely would recommend this provider. More
The one stop sleep apnea shop. Dr. Abraham has a calm demeanor. He addressed our concerns and supplied us with a solution in a knowledgeable and timely manner. The office staff is friendly and answered all of our questions during the office visit and when we called post visit. Very happy with the office. More
Remember the good old days when Doctors showed heart and looked at you as person and not a statistic? Well fortunately for my wife and I, we were referred to Dr Ishaaya over a year + ago and better then him you wont find easily. His staff are wonderful people, friendly and really cheerful. The Dr himself is a very compassionate practitioner and follower of the Hippocratic oath to the letter and beyond. He is very kind and has a profound care and earnest interest in your well being. You dont feel rushed or anything when you come in and he and his staff keep a constant eye on you from the moment you enter his office. If you can get him as your internist then you will be fortunate. He and his staff have not forgotten what bedside manner means. I recommend them to anyone who is listening. Give him a try at least once and see what I mean. By the way, as a plus, he has a great sleep study center. Comfy beds, wonderful techs. So even if you just want a sleep study in a clean quiet environment he is the Doctor to see. More

I went in for blood work and was worried about timing. I was in a rush and I had let the front desk know that I was in a hurry. They were honest and told me it would take a certain amount of time. They took care of me in their stated time and I was out within 15 minutes. The staff here is so nice. Thank you so much. More
The BEST of the best. Needing a couple of emergency tests before heading into the operating room, Dr. Ishaaya and his staff dropped everything and made sure I got the tests I needed so that they could operate on me. That kind of last minute service is unheard of nowadays. His office is clean, attractive, and runs efficiently. His staff is professional, competent, and terrific conversationalists. And Dr. Ishaaya himself is a terrific physician who is caring, empathic and runs a tight ship. More
Dr. Ishaaya and his staff are so great and professional! My last appointment was for my yearly check-up and OB-GYN referral because he is my primary doctor. I called the day before my appointment and they were able to squeeze me in the next day! (They did the same for roommate!) They are so accommodating and efficient. Great doctor and office all-around!

I feel bad that it took so long to write this review. This is one of the most competent places I have been. I was sent to have pre-op tests and was thoroughly checked. I felt as if I was having a complete physical (better than I am used to having). The staff was courteous and the specialist in the exam room was through. When I finally met the doctor I was very, very pleased with his diagnosis of my health. I am considering changing primary physician if he is one. I wouldn't have any regrets although I like my primary physician. I am going to recommend that my daughter see him, if he accepts her insurance. More
Dr. Ishaaya is an excellent doctor, extremely knowledgeable in both Pulmonology and Internal Medicine. But more, he truly cares about his patients. He has gone above and beyond in helping take care of my disabled family member, not only providing great medical care, but also providing assistance with issues regarding home health services, medical supplies and insurance. Our family has been blessed to have him as our doctor. More

My fiancé goes to him, and when my company switched insurance plans he recommended that I go visit his doctor. He is always so happy when he gets back from the doctors office, said no one ever. So I had to see what all this was about. I made an appointment, I was greeted by a very polite team at the front desk. I had to fill out a little bit of paperwork as a first-time patient. I was taken in the next five minutes and greeted by a wonderful nurse. Her name is Soraya. She was lovely and did quick examination of me. We went through the basics of the check up and I had to wait about 25 minutes for the doctor to come in. When he came in, he was cool, he made jokes, and he made you feel very comfortable. He recognized that my fiancé sees him too and considers us a family now! It's very clean, and professional there. You can also go see their recommended gynecologist who is on the seventh floor as well. You have to park across the street at the parking structure on Olympic and Genesee. It costs about seven dollars to park in and they only take cash. There's limited street parking so there's not many other options. They will always call you after your appointment and let you know your results. They also ask you to give them feedback via email so they can improve their services for the future. I love this doctor and I hope you guys do too. More

A very cool doctor. He was the doctor of my patient for the last 13 years and always attentive to all of my patient's needs. As a bonus for knowing Dr. Ishaaya this long, he noticed of my alarming weight gain then i told him i have a problem with snoring now. Voila, he gave a good discount of his famous CPAP machine. Thank you doctor for saving my life. More

I can't say enough great things about Dr. Ishaaya. He's totally made himself available to me when I've had a few scares. He texts and calls with results and is super thorough. He listens and is patient. I only pick health insurance policies that he accepts. Highly recommended. More

I made an appointment after having trouble breathing for a few days and not being satisfied with the experience I had at an urgent care. I was pretty certain it was a panic attack but wanted to be sure and get a few tests done. I was so comforted by everyone in this office and was blown away by how much they cared and truly listened to me while I listed all of my symptoms and asked countless questions (I’m a bit of a hypochondriac). The receptionists, the nurses, the doctor himself - everyone was INCREDIBLE. I’ve never had a better experience at any doctor’s office in my life and will absolutely be referring Dr. Ishaaya to everyone I know. I’d give 10 stars if I could. More

I am seeing Dr. Ishaaya as a pulmonary specialist. I have another primary care physician. His staff that did my sleep study was very good. The other techs in the office are good as well. The wait time is minimal. I have recommended others to Dr. I. Sometimes there is available parking on the street but you need to watch the clock. Otherwise there is a structure about 1/2 block away. Easy to get to other neighborhoods via Olympic or San Vicente or Fairfax. With all the traffic that is a convenience. Watch out for the corner at Wilshire...it is a traffic disaster. Be prepared to be reminded via text and phone for appointments. I don't need it but they say the 2 reminders aren't connected so I get both. I would like to see that stop. Too many robocalls a day...really annoying. More

Dr. Ishaaya and his staff for wonderful right from the get-go I didn't have any time waiting and I saw the doctor right away it was very knowledgeable of my situation and how I feel and I felt very comfortable with his bedside manner! I'm very glad that he is my primary care physician and feel very safe in his very knowledgeable hands! More
They saw me the same day as I called - and when I showed up early, they even got me in right away to see the Doctor. Great and friendly staff! And even though it was my first visit, the Doctor explained everything clearly to me and gave me hope. A+ and I will absolutely recommend them to my friends and family. The only thing is the parking situation - it's a cash only parking lot - so just be aware of that (but parking itself was not overly expensive.) More

I had the best experience at Dr. Ishaaya's office. It started with the professionalism of the staff. Each one I met was professional, courteous and caring. Dr. Ishaaya is a knowledgeable doctor who listens and takes his time. He spent his time answering all my questions and addressing my issues. I went in suffering with breathing issues during and after my exercise routines. I had been dealing with it for 2 years and had seen my general practitioner who just gave my asthma inhalers, that didn't help. Dr. Ishaaya did all the necessary tests, breathing test and allergy test right there and then. I did not have to make a second appointment to go and get the tests done, he does all his testing in-house and doesn't waste his time or yours. I will be going back if I ever need to! I am now 100% better. More

I was in great pain having anxiety because of my pain shoe in my hand with an irate attitude. The nurse leslie attended to me immediately. She brought me an ottoman, pillows and ice packs for my leg ...She tried her best to make me feel as comfortable as possible ...She help me laugh and smile also Sonia drawing my blood made me smile and laugh... Doctor was a nice guy . He requested blood work, an ultrasound and breathing Spirometry test.. And to my sur- prise had all three procedures in the same office ... with that I saved 1 or 2 visits compared to other Doctors that have to refer as out patient to a different location.... Nice place I left still in pain but feeling a lot better about it More

So great to go to a doctor who knows what he is doing and so does his staff!!! from the time I walked into the door I knew I was in competent hands. All the good things written on here about him are true!!! Friendly staff, awesome nurses and attendants who took my blood pressure, drew my blood for labs, all done right in the office!!! then, who do you think called me with the lab results? THE DOCTOR!!!!! who does that anymore? Can’t say enough good stuff. Junior up front just does and awesome job, smooth and efficient run office. After having been to other doctors whose staff ruin the whole experience for you it is a treat to go here. They actually act like they like you and are happy you are there...imagine :) Lovely office. Only draw back is parking, but I just went ahead and paid $8 for the valet parking. So worth it. However there is a parking garage and street parking as well. Love this doctor!!!! More

I was referred to Dr. Ishaaya for my mother by an ER doctor. Dr. Ishaaya was very capable, kind, and always there for us while I was caregiver for my Mom. When my husband starting having chronic pulmonary problems, I suggested he go to visit Dr. Ishaaya, and Dr. Ishaaya is taking good care of my husband, too. Dr. Ishaaya is the same caring, thoughtful, and capable doctor toward my husband as he was toward my mother. We are very grateful to have Dr. Ishaaya as our pulmonary specialist, as well as, our family doctor. More
I have been a patient for approximately 2 years. The office staff is always courteous, friendly and professional. The manager is really on top of things and assures your visit will run smoothly. The doctor is friendly and comforting while his exam is thorough and his questioning complete. It didn’t take long to discover the reasons I was up so many times at night. My disruptive sleep pattern prevented proper rest. It left me lethargic during the day and really dragging by 3PM. Those days are behind me. I am well rested, energetic and much happier too. I highly recommend this office. More

Hello, one of my friends suggested Dr Ishaaya for the annual physical check up. The entire staff was really helpful and you just feel so comfortable in the clinic. One of the staff members had a good sense of humor and I was so glad that i chose Dr Ishaaya's clinic. Dr Ishaaya is a great doctor and he takes out time to explain you the test results. My CT scan result was loaded with technical jargon which obviously was all Greek to me. I requested Dr Ishaaya to explain that to me and he explained line by line to me- which was quite surprising. He is great and I would recommend going to the clinic atleast once a year for the check up. More

I had a great experience in Dr. Ishaaya Abraham office. Not only was his staff extremely professional and pleasant but his technicians where knowledgeable and made a arduous testing process actually enjoyable.(I was in for constant cough problems). Dr. Isaaya listened carefully to all my concerns and we are working out way towards a solution. I highly recommend Dr. Ishaaya More

Doctor Abraham Ishya is a great person, he is an accomplished Doctor since the 80’s and knows pulmonary sciences and respiratory science, along with other fields of knowledge.

Ishya does, he’s a sleep therapies Doctor.You can’t go wrong with this guy. His treatment of his patients is exceptional. He will nail that bad sleep apnea or what ever the case may be. More

Love the office staff! They are so efficient and pleasant! In addition, they are the best at their jobs! Things seem to work like clockwork.

He doesn't forget my history and recommends timely tests! More

I recommend Dr. Abraham Ishaaya with emphasis! His office staff was Very kind, compassionate toward me especially the 2 Technicians whom oversaw my sleep study overnight observation. I came into the office perplexed because of some home life serious situation and the technicians were patient with me and helped me to relax and calm down before the study began. Named Anna and Leo. My diagnosis was EXTREMELY accurate and sense the medication prescribed for me i began taking has worked better than anything i've ever tried and I've tried everything under the sun.Dr.Ishaaya is sort spoken, very thorough which is why the sleep study is so vital to a proper diagnosis. Dr. Ishaaya has literally zero wait time while in the office and spends a good amount of time with we. He asks me questions I felt I needed to be asked and his bedside manner has show him to be almost impeccable when it comes to his patience he doesn't force medication on his patience!

I recommend Dr. Abraham Ishaaya with emphasis! His office staff was Very kind, compassionate toward me especially the 2 Technicians whom oversaw my sleep study overnight observation. I came into the office perplexed because of some home life serious situation and the technicians were patient with me and helped me to relax and calm down before the study began. Named Anna and Leo. My diagnosis was EXTREMELY accurate and sense the medication prescribed for me i began taking has worked better than anything i've ever tried and I've tried everything under the sun.Dr.Ishaaya is sort spoken, very thorough which is why the sleep study is so vital to a proper diagnosis. Dr. Ishaaya has literally zero wait time while in the office and spends a good amount of time with we. He asks me questions I felt I needed to be asked and his bedside manner has show him to be almost impeccable when it comes to his patience he doesn't force medication on his patience!

As always, I "try"to keep my reviews short. We shall see... I was leery to leave Dr. Ishaaya a Yelp! review under my name, for several reasons - but I've decided in the very least - that perhaps my review may raise some awareness of things you may not know you suffer from. That being said, I would write my life's story labeled with "my name"...for the simple fact that maybe this review might help someone as Dr. Ishaaya has helped, rather...saved me. I've suffered for ten years from narcolepsy. This man has literally saved my life in so many ways. Ten years ago at age 18 (well now, 13 years) - I did a sleep study in Baton Rouge Louisiana, due to chronic fatigue. I got the results back, and they - and I quote "Lost the MSLT portion of the study due to a technician's error". At age 18, I refused to do that study again as it was a nightmare (at the time and my age). I assumed I was "lazy" and / or...well...lazy. When I met Dr. Ishaaya, I gave him that ten year old sleep study report. He explained to me, that I needed to do another. I was terrified of this. At 18 (first sleep study) laying in bed, nap after nap - it wasn't enjoyable. (Why I waited ten years to do another sleep study, I do not know). Dr. Ishaaya's staff - when I arrived (ten years later from the first study in Louisiana), were beyond courteous and "down to earth" (as Dr. Ishaaya is himself [down to earth], and I'll get to that)... I appreciate "down to earth", as me being from Louisiana, most people there are. Here in L.A., that's a rarity. Dr. Ishaaya is a rarity. I say that in the most complimentary way I can. When I did the sleep study with him, I told his staff member "I likely won't fall asleep". I was nervous. To which he replied "80-90% of patients fall asleep, and no matter what, we will get data regardless". This meant the world to me, it made me relax and not worry so much. And let me just say, I fell asleep. :) This sleep study was such an easy and painless ordeal. This night, and half of a morning of "study", literally changed my life. I didn't have a life before this diagnosis. But Dr. Ishaaya gave me one. I must warn you, a doctor that is "down to earth" is no fool. Dr. Ishaaya is no fool. Do not expect to go to him for meds etc, he will see straight through you. But if you are genuine and genuinely need help, he will go leaps and bounds to help you. This man has personally called me to "check on me" to see how I was doing. You can't get a better doctor than that. As mentioned earlier, his staff is always wonderful - in fact - comical at times...comical meaning "funny and charming". I love that. Everyone, down to earth. I can't recommend Dr. Ishaaya enough, if you feel you have any symptom he may specialize in...he will not only diagnose you, he will help you, and go far above and beyond what most doctors would ever do. But not only that, he is "sharp as a tack" as we say in the south...if you have any issues related to his specialties...he's the one to see. Hands down. -B More

I had been searching for both an internist and sleep specialist, so I figured Dr. Ishaaya could kill two birds with one stone. Turns out, my experience was so unexpectedly pleasant, I just spared the birds and set them free. I can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Ishaaya and his practice! Junior always answers the phone with a smile that you can hear through the receiver. On top of that, he calls the day after every appointment to make sure that I am doing well & to see if there is any way they can improve- two things you won't be asked at the VA or the Clinton Correctional Facility. Darcy is my favorite MA, and can somehow recount the exact details from our previous conversations while wringing out my blood pressure and taking my temperature. (Oh, that's right; I DID go on a date last month - crap, what was his name again?) And then there's Helen, the reimbursement bulldog. Once, a pharmacy didn't accept a co-pay coupon from me, so I popped into Dr. Ishaaya's office to see if they could help me. Helen immediately set down her file folders, picked up the phone, and made damn sure that they honored it. Bam! Just like that. She also helped me transfer those refills the next month. Dr. Ishaaya, himself, is calm, cool, and confident without arrogance. He is an excellent listener and I never feel judged when I ask him questions that might sound dumb. Dr. Ishaaya fulfills my criteria of being experienced, yet current. (Mmm hmm, you know you're thinking I meant older than 38 and younger than 70.) He and I had a couple conversations regarding trends in sleep medicine, and I was particularly impressed by his level of research in that specialty. And, like the rest of his practice, Dr. Ishaaya is thorough - he communicates even the little things, like "letting you know I received your fax". And the best part - he texts!!! (Insert thumbs-up emoji.) In fact, forget everything else I wrote - I should've started and ended with that. (Insert cry-laughing emoji.) Instead, I'll end it on a sincere note with what makes Dr. Ishaaya and his practice stand out: it is the staff's proficiency in their roles which makes the practice competent, but it is their attention to all the little things which make it memorable.

Dr Ishaaya was very caring and professional. He listened to my concerns and together we came up with a treatment plan. He seems very accessable to his patients. He said to call with any concerns or changes in my condition. He let me know when to expect test results. His staff was so welcoming and friendly. Many of the tests I needed were done in the office on the spot which was so convienient for me. I was given the results shortly after they were done. Such a pleasant experience. I would highly recommend Dr Ishaaya and his staff. More

Dr. Ishaaya has been my pulmonolgist for approximately 12-14 years now. He's compassionate, caring, and brilliant in his choice field of medicine. I have such a great relationship with Dr. Ishaaya, he literally knows me better than I know myself. The staff in his office are very friendly, yet most importantly very professional, and over the years, I've come to develop a relationship with them as well. Dr. Ishaaya works in tandem with my cardiologist Dr. Daneshrad, and my primary care physician Dr. Vlad Nusinovich, which in my opinion constitutes my ELITE team of physicians which I wouldn't trade for all the money in the world..HONESTLY! Thank you Dr. Ishaaya for being such an intricate part of my life saving team Of Healthcare physicians. *smooches* More

Dr. Ishaaya and his staff are wonderful. He has helped me diagnose and treat my sleep condition, and I feel so much better. As with any doctor, I suggest that before you go in, think about WHY you are going and what you hope to accomplish regarding your health and lifestyle. Ask questions and listen. Dr. Ishaaya listens to you and is very experienced. But it's also my own opinion that YOU are ultimately responsible for taking control of your health. Be well! More

I literally have the best doctor in Los Angeles. I moved from Connecticut a year ago and was sooo afraid to find another doctor who would understand me and really take the time to get to know my body, and make sure I’m well before tossing me off to another specialist. Dr. Avi is hands down the best. This man responds to all messages immediately and always makes sure you feel comfortable and okay. I have never ever had a doctor open his office with his team on a day that they are actually closed for me because I wasn’t feeling well. This goes to show you the kind of doctor he is. Whether you are a celebrity or not he gives all his patients the same A List treatment! I will never go to another primary care doctor in LA. His team is amazing especially Sonya and the guy who does the ultrasounds! Go here if you want to get well and a doctor that isn’t just throwing meds at you but finding the right solution! More

UPDATE: I'm SO fortunate to have found Dr. Ishaaya -- he is THE BEST!!!! I came in with a problem and he is on top of it all with alacrity, tenacity and caring. He stood up to my insurance company to get a test approved (a huge thank you to Helen who spent three hours arguing with insurance and then got Dr. Ishaaya on the call to get the test approved). Dr. Ishaaya also immediately consulted with colleagues about my issue and was even in communication with me late at night because of my concerns. When I went to Cedars for a test, the nurse asked who my physician is and when I said Dr. Ishaaya, her face lit up -- she said he is very highly regarded and that I'm in good hands --all I can say is that I am truly grateful to have found this dedicated, sharp and caring doctor. I have only been to see him twice and I can't put into words how much I appreciate having Dr. Ishaaya taking care of me. Here is my initial review when I went to Dr. Ishaaya the first time for a routine check-up: We have finally found our doctor!!!! Thanks to the great reviews on Yelp, I made an appointment for a yearly physical with Dr. Avi Ishaaya. Since moving to LA, I had made an appointment for a physical with a new doctor each year, hoping to find "my" doctor. Dr. Ishaaya is the doctor I've been searching for! He's the real deal: Smart, listens, accessible, communicative and is very clearly devoted to the well-being of his patients. Ultimately, medicine is an art, and one can only excel at an art with caring and devotion. You will find that here! Since my brother is a family practice doc in New Jersey who has saved many lives due to diligent research on patient issues that specialists had failed to diagnose -- I can quickly spot the difference between a doc who is primarily concerned with "building a practice" over one whose focus is invested in taking care of patients. Dr. Ishaaya is a physician from the inside out -- the difference in his approach is unmistakable. Additionally, Dr. Ishaaya's entire staff reflects these values: Thanks to the friendly front desk people for being gracious while changing my first appointment a few times due to work conflicts that cropped up unexpectedly. Thanks to Olga for taking a careful and thorough history -- you are patient and kind. Thanks to Darcy for being the most talented phlebotomist ever -- this is the only time I didn't even feel the needle! Thanks to Ash for the humorous distraction while I was getting my blood drawn -- you saw that I was a bit anxious (due to some pretty awful past experiences) and you helped:) Thanks, Dr. Ishaaya, I look forward to having you as the trusted doc my husband and I will go to for many years to come:) More

great practice! I found him on yelp and I’m very satisfied. first off, the office runs very smoothly. the support staff are friendly and professional. Dr. Ishaaya does a great job. he is accessible via text and is very responsive. He is a tad on the brief side but that’s fine as long as the health issues are dispensed with. Both of the issues I went to him for were solved!! And he’s brief but that’s to keep things moving. thank you Dr. Ishaaya!! More

I had an appointment with Dr. Ishaaya over a year ago which went as well as could be expected, but there was a clerical mixup which led to some billing problems with an external testing lab. Long story short, when it all came to a head, they were very apologetic and paid the bill out of pocket (my health insurance provider should have covered it). Thanks folks! More
I was referred to Dr. Ishaaya through my aunt and I have to say I'm absolutely pleased with my visit. I have an anxiety about new doctors however he handled my situation with care. Dr. Ishaaya set me up with treatment for my asthma and I feel much better. Thank you for eliminating my stress about new doctors. More

Dr. Ishaaya is an exemplary doctor who truly cares for his patients. My first experience with him was several years ago when I was experiencing a debilitating issue of constantly falling asleep and sleeping an unhealthy amount on a regular basis. I went to see him as a general practitioner through my insurance, thinking it was a thyroid problem. After our first visit and undergoing a series of tests, He actually identified my problem as narcolepsy, which was a total shock but a great sense of relief to know there was a solution to the madness I had been experiencing for years. He was very involved, patient, and instrumental in finding the right types of medicines and dosage that best suit my needs considering I tend to be very sensitive when it comes to prescription medicines, even if that entailed several visits in one month. It has been almost 4 years since that first initial visit and he, as well as the entire staff at Avisha Medical, have continued to provide me with utmost care in any medical issues I have had, narcolepsy or not. At a time when its unfortunately more common to barely have a conversation with your doctor, Dr. Ishaaya has always remained just as caring as he did the first time I walked through his office door. He is publicly well known in the Medical field with good reason. I strongly recommend him for those seeking a solid and caring relationship from their medical practitioner, whatever your needs may be. Thank you Dr. Ishaaya! More
I am so happy to have found Dr. Ishaaya! He is my primary care physician, so I cannot speak to his work in pulmonology or sleep disorders, etc., but in my experience, he is extremely smart and aware when it comes to a vast range of issues. I never feel rushed or dismissed by him. He really takes time with you and gives you a personalized experience. This is obviously a very smart man, who specializes in a LOT of things, but he does not pretend to know things he doesn't. When I was going to travel in Southeast Asia, he told me he would prefer to contact an infectious disease specialist for the most informed health recommendations. Dr. Ishaaya called me personally less than 24 hours later with a wealth of information and prescriptions that had already been called in to my pharmacy for me. A DREAM! As a major bonus, I have yet to wait more than ten minutes in the waiting room or the exam room. And lastly, I've never had a doctor who concerned him/herself with patient financial responsibility, but Dr. Ishaaya goes out of his way to reduce your costs. When I had vaccinations done for my trip and the office did not have the vaccines, Dr. Ishaaya offered to order them from the pharmacy under the office name and have them injected by his staff, to ensure that insurance would cover them as part of an office visit, at no extra charge to me. And that was his idea! I can't say enough nice things. He is a treasure. More

I can honestly say that working with Dr. Ishaaya has been one of the best experiences I've had with a doctor in a long time. From the attentive staff at the front desk to the caring nature of the back office staff to working with Dr. Ishaaya himself, I couldn't be any happier. I came to Dr. Ishaaya for a second opinion and have been working with him ever since. He is a great listener, very caring and compassionate and has offered me a medical experience that I have been seeking for a long time. He has offered great referrals and has even been working with these referrals hand in hand to come up with a diagnosis and treatment plan for my complicated medical issues. I am grateful to have him as part of my diagnostic team. More

Dr. Ishaaya is an exceptional doctor. Not only is he an extremely knowledgeable and skilled physician, he is truly a wonderful person. Dr. Ishaaya's kindness, medical expertise, and willingness to help were instrumental in making it possible for my severely disabled sister (who is brain-injured, paralyzed and ventilator-dependent) to move home from facilities and have a better quality of life. I contacted Dr. Ishaaya on the recommendation of a nurse, who told me he was an excellent physician and a kind man. Although Dr. Ishaaya did not even know us, without hesitation he took on my sister's complex case and become her main physician and pulmonologist. I have found that he has extensive knowledge not only about pulmonary issues, but also about internal medicine, critical care, and a host of other areas. He looks at my sister's total medical situation and treats the whole person. In his hands, I know my sister is getting the expert medical care she needs. It's a plus that Dr. Ishaaya is very easy to deal with. He really listens to concerns and gets back to me very quickly. Dr. Ishaaya has gone out of his way to personally perform procedures that are typically left to lesser-degreed medical personnel, and to make sure my sister has the treatment and medical oversight she needs to remain stable and healthy at home. I trust him completely, which is something I do not easily say. More

Although Dr. Ishaaya did not even know us, without hesitation he took on my sister’s complex case and become her main physician and pulmonologist. I have found that he has extensive knowledge not only about pulmonary issues, but also about internal medicine, critical care, and a host of other areas. He looks at my sister’s total medical situation and treats the whole person. In his hands, I know my sister is getting the expert medical care she needs. It’s a plus that Dr. Ishaaya is very easy to deal with. He really listens to concerns and gets back to me very quickly. Dr. Ishaaya has gone out of his way to personally perform procedures that are typically left to lesser-degreed medical personnel, and to make sure my sister has the treatment and medical oversight she needs to remain stable and healthy at home. I trust him completely, which is something I do not easily say. More
Dr. Ishaaya's professionalism, thoroughness, and genuine concern for my well-being are the reasons why I have been his patient for over a decade.

Dr. Ishaaya has an outstanding level of professionalism, concern, and technical competence. He has always been attentive, inquisitive, and concerned whenever I have visited him--whether for a routine check-up or for an emergency medical issue. I also appreciate his staff's attentiveness and helpfulness both in person and over the phone. I appreciate how Dr. Ishaaya has contributed to my well-being.

I have been coming to Dr. Ishaaya for a few years now and I will continue to do so. He is very kind, takes a genuine interest in you and your health, and makes you feel like you are the only patient he is there to see that day. I have been to doctors who barely look at you and seem in a hurry to move on to other patients, Dr. Ishaaya is the exact opposite. He even has a number you can text him on with any questions you have and he will respond, I thought this was awesome! His staff is very personable, professional, and remember you when you come in. His staff called me to remind me of my visit the day before and even called the day after my visit to make sure everything was addressed while I was there. More

Dr. Ishaaya and his staff are second to none! I am so fortunate to have found this gem of an office in the the crowded city of LA. As a HCP myself and having worked with many MDs, it is very rare to find a doctor who practices top notch medicine with an empathetic approach. He genuinely cares for your health and even follows up personally to see how you are doing. In short, this is the office to go to if you want modern medicine with a staff delivering old school, "concierge care". More

A very forward thinking physician in terms of technology and reaching out to the marketplace.. I had a previous diagnosis of sleep apnea done through a conventional visit to a sleep laboratory. Not only is Dr. Ishaaya’s home test effective, the equipment provided after the diagnosis is a godsend. It reports to their office via the Internet and I get real time monitoring of how effective my sleep therapy is. The former procedure involved visiting the physician every few months and only then finding out that things were not working. The staff is great, the follow up on the A-Pap equipment is terrific and Dr. Ishaaya is personable and obviously interested in using new technology to facilitate his practice. Also, there are not a lot of physicians Board Certified in three disciplines. Besides all that, they are really nice people. More

Dr. Ishaaya has been my "sleep" doctor for several years now. My sleep apnea was diagnosed at the associated Midway Sleep Clinic next door to his office. I return for periodic checkups, and to renew medication associated with my apnea. I find him very relaxed and personable, an excellent communicator, and genuinely interested in helping his patients to lead better lives. In my case, the diagnosis of sleep apnea at age 63 changed my life in many profound and wonderful ways - so I'm also very grateful to him. And I thoroughly enjoy his office staff who rather quickly treated me as one of the family. The practice of medicine these days often feels like something of an assembly-line. It doesn't feel that way here. Dr. Ishaaya's office is a friendly, open and caring place where I have always feel I have received first-class care. Just a quick update here on Febrauary 13th of 2014. I just got back from a periodic checkup with Dr. Ishaaya, and as we head into Valentine's Day it seems a perfect time to report that Marina, one of his great staff, has put some very hard work into dieting, and is looking terrific. I told her that she now reminds me of a Slavic Angelina Jolie. On the other hand, I'm slightly afraid of her - so I pretty much would say anything :-) Seriously, she is looking great, and here is a shout out to all of the staff in this office - they make visits a real pleasure.

Thank you Dr. Ishaaya and staff for an experience unlike any other! Everyone is friendly, smiling, and at ease which is a great environment for a doctor’s office in my opinion. Dr. Ishaaya is attentive, knowledgeable, and really takes time to address all questions and concerns. No need to visit a separate lab, or have to go to a different facility for other tests, very convenient. I’ve been so pleased and well taken care of that Dr. Ishaaya is now my general doctor and I would happily recommend him and his staff to everyone! More

I have hated going to the doctors before. That has changed after being in to see Dr. Ishaaya. He and his staff are very friendly and professional. Clean offices and exam rooms. I didnt have to wait to go in for my appoinment. I have decided to make Dr. Ishaaya my primary MD. More
I was there for a pre-op and there were a number of test that I needed to take. The staff was very friendly and patient. I also really appreciated their flexibility in accommodating and scheduling. And furthermore, I was super impressed with Dr. Avilshaaya who stepped in the trenches with his team in order to expediting the process. I gave my first time experience 5 stars. More
I had been looking for a good doctor to help me with my weight issues and luckily I found Dr. Ishaaya. I've been going to him for over a year, and since then I have been able to get off my blood pressure medication. He has also helped me with my sleep apnea and hopefully that will be under control soon. He is no-nonsense and even text's me my results, which I love. He also has a wonderful staff - in particular Marina. She is so fun and puts me at ease before I meet with the Dr. If you haven't found a primary DR, or are having weight issues, I would look no further. Dr. Ishaaya is your man!!! More

In 2009, my elderly father, was diagnosed by his cardiologist with critical aortic stenosis and was told that there was nothing that could be done. He was further advised that he had weeks to a few months to live and he should get hospice. Thereafter, the head of cardiac surgery at a major university medical center, saw my father, confirmed the initial diagnosis and said surgery was not a viable option. Finally, we went to Dr. Avi Ishaaya who after reviewing my father's medical history said he need time to research possible options. A day later we received a call from Dr. Ishaaya who advised us that there was a new surgical procedure that was minimally invasive that could provide my father with a new aortic valve. My father, because of Dr Ishaaya's strong recommendation, had a successful aortic valve implantation. After my father's heart procedure, Dr. Ishaaya has holistically guided my father's medical care. For example, my father had persistent respiratory issues, including bouts with pneumonia, fluid in the lungs and constant coughing and congestion. Dr. Ishaaya gave my father a home sleep test, which showed that he had very severe sleep apnea. As a result, Dr. Ishaaya prescribed an APAP device to be used at night. Although the APAP device was initially difficult for my father to sleep with, he gradually adapted to it and has seen substantial benefits far beyond achieving increased amounts of restorative sleep. Those benefits include the expansion of his lungs at night and almost the complete elimination of my father's persistent coughing and congestion and he has had no acute episodes of fluid in the lungs nor pneumonia. As a result of Dr. Ishaaya efforts, my father is alive and has a high quality of life. I have found Dr. Ishaaya to be easy to talk with, always responsive and brilliant. Dr. Ishaaya's has great compassion for his patients and his integrity is of the highest order, and I would recommend him accordingly. More

My elderly parents switched to Dr. Ishaaya recently. The level of care and personal attention that he is giving them is amazing! My father was taken to a hospital out of the area in an emergency. Dr. Ishaaya was on the phone with them constantly, made sure my dad received the best medical care, and managed to transfer him to a local hospital as soon as he was ready to travel. This morning I had to visit his office with my mom. She started having symptoms over the week-end, and we left a message on the machine hoping to get an appointment within a week. We got a call back right away, my mom was penciled in to be seen first thing on Monday morning, was actually seen by the doctor 10 minutes after we arrived to the office. The office works like a well oiled machine. Every staff member is extremely efficient, friendly, compassionate, and not without a great sense of humor! The office looks slick, stylish, and gives out a serene, healing vibe. I will definitely refer family and friends, and am thinking of switching myself! More
I am so lucky to have Dr. Ishaaya as my doctor! Dr. Ishaaya is experienced, knowledgeable, and very attentive. He truly cares about his patients.

The office staff is also amazing! Everyone is courteous and polite and always ready to answer any questions. It's a great experience every time! More

Wonderful staff- Junior always answers phones quickly with a friendly & welcoming voice. Darcy is an excellent MA, who immediately makes you feel at ease. I see Dr. Ishaaya for both sleep medicine and internal med. He is very professional, compassionate, and thoroughly explains all options. He is very easy to reach if I have questions outside of my appt. I appreciate that he is fully integrated w EHR, which streamlines the workflow of everything. He is excellent with follow-up on even the little things, like letting me know that he received my medical records from another physician. I am very happy with my Dr. Ishaaya, and strongly recommend him. More
Dr. Ishaaya and his staff for wonderful right from the get-go I didn't have any time waiting and I saw the doctor right away it was very knowledgeable of my situation and how I feel and I felt very comfortable with his bedside manner! I'm very glad that he is my primary care physician and feel very safe in his very knowledgeable hands! More
