Raul Pardave, MD

Office had to be reminded multiple times to submit paperwork. Referred me to a specialist that, in my opinion, committed malpractice. The specialist was incompetent. I certainly will never go back to this doctor.

Highly recommend to have Dr. Raul as your doctor and the amazing Katharine. She is super nice and she answered all my questions And she takes the time and explains in details. Very helpful and comfortable environment !

Where do you start? Office staff is so unfriendly. Calling there is like pulling teeth. Heaven forbid you have a difficult question. Merisol will forget about you, forget to fax, generally could care less about you.
Now for the doctor. Ever single visit is RUSHED. Like I’m on a conveyor belt and I get exactly 15 minutes. 15 minutes? Times up! Pat on the back and on to the next. Felt like I was just a sack of helthcare money! –funny, because I’m the Duke on Unilocal there! Ha
POTENTIAL PATIENTS BEWARE!!!
Update: Had to go back for test results. What a goofball. Dr. Tried to explain himself. It’s his time limitations that dictate the rushing. Bunch if BS!
Again, Merisol could care less about you.
BEWARE! Find another provider.

Dr Pardave is such an amazing Doctor! It really seems like he cares about his patients. There are some Doctors who rushes patients in and out of the office and you kind of sense that they don’t care for the patients but this Doctor is different, he goes over your treatment plan options and really does explain the side effects of all your treatment. Will refer family and friends.

Dr. Pardave is Great Doctor I highly recommend him guys very nice he takes his time to talk to us not like any other doctor and his good person with great doctors knowledge. please negative voters think before you do something if your mad at your life it’s no one’s fault…

This is my second review. Dr. Pardave, nurse practitioner Pardave, Maria and Marisol are very friendly and just a pleasure to deal with. My family has been going to him for years. He really takes the time to go over all her (elderly family member) issues and medications. He always gives it to us straight, no sugar coating. My family and I greatly appreciate everyone in his office.

Dr Pardave is a good doctor, however, he is overbooked. I wouldn’t recommend unless you don’t mind waiting at least one hour after your scheduled appointment. Needless to say such personal experience has prompted me to write this only after his staff, Marisol in particular, runs the office so that patients are inconvenienced in this manner with no apology for their wasted time. It wasn’t just me waiting that long to see the doctor, at least 7 others with an appointment found themselves in the same situation. I left without seeing the doctor after the hour because there was no telling how much longer I wou be waiting… maybe another 40 minutes.?! It’s not ok to run so behind schedule for an outpatient office practice.
I don’t plan on returning to Dr Pardave since my previous appointments were not much better, I had to see the nurse because the doctoe was too busy to see me :(

I went back to see the nurse practitioner for a prescription on Tuesday the 13^th, the day before she was leaving for England. She was just a good as when I saw her last. I really feel so comfortable with her because she has the best bedside manner. She also had Dr Pardave check a mole to make sure it was benign. Really nice doctor. He has a great bedside manner as well. They are both really loving people. They also seem like they stay up with all the latest research and technology. They are getting a laser treatment in soon as well. Can’t say enough great things.
I’m giving them 1 star because of Marisol, their office staff. I called the pharmacy on Thursday the 15^th (it should have been faxed that Tues) to see if the prescription was ready. It is a compound cream and the only pharmacy is in Sherman Oaks. I was informed that they never received the fax from Dr Pardave’s office. This was upsetting because not only do I have to wait for the prescription to be made but for the mailing time. Now I’m 2 days behind on getting it made. This is a cream I need to use in conjunction with other meds so I don’t get cancer.
I called the same day (Thursday the 15^th) & asked Marisol from Dr Pardave’s office if she knew if the nurse practitioner had faxed the prescription. Her response was, «I don’t know… she’s not here… so I can’t confirm.» Her attitude was like she could care less and would rather be somewhere else. I asked nicely if she could please make sure it is faxed over and she assured me it would be. I said if you have any problems please call me. She dropped the ball. The attitude of «I can care less» was accurate because she never faxed it nor called me.
So I waited all weekend thinking that the compound cream would be ready on Tuesday since Monday was a holiday. I Called the pharmacy on Tuesday the 20^th to tell them where to mail the prescription and of course they never received a fax. I called Dr Pardave’s office and left a message asking for someone to please give me a call back so this situation could be taken care of. I was really upset and said that I’ve been waiting a full week for the prescription to be faxed and this would be my 3^rd phone call to the office. Marisol never called me back that day. Nor did she try to call me back the next day. How can a doctors office run like this? Wednesday around 4:30 I called and got a hold of Marisol. I asked her if she’d faxed the prescription. My hope was that after my voice message on Tuesday that she would have taken care of it. Nope. Didn’t even look into it.
I was expecting her to be apologetic at the least and take care of the situation right away. Instead she had the worse attitude and never apologized once. I wanted to work this situation out because I love the nurse and doctor. I want my entire family to see them. So you can understand how I didn’t want this situation to escalate. Who wants to have a pissed off staff member who will make it difficult to get an appt when you’re sick?
By the end of the conversation I was so mad that I asked to have the office manager or doctor call me back. I said I would like to talk to somebody to see if this can be solved before I write a Unilocal review. I know that sucks, but I was hoping that maybe that would put some fire under her to actually have someone call me back. Then I thought I really should let other people know that you might get the best treatment from the nurse &/​or doctor, but it could take over a week for them to fax a prescription (no matter how important the medicine is) and in the meantime you will have to deal with Marisol trying to get it done. I’m not sure my prescription will ever be faxed, but I’m sure I will get a bill for the doctors visit. Just a bummer.

This doctors office deserves 5+ stars. Working in a doctors office myself, i know what its like to care about patients and their needs. My mother and I had an appointment this morning with Dr Pardave. We have seem many PCP that we havnt liked because all they care about is money and dont pay attention to patients care. Dr Pardave was different. He sat and just listened what we had to say. Asked questions, listened more, and told us what he thinks. He even drew out a diagram so we can picture whats going on. He is one of a kind.
Now the staff, they are such nice women! They get things done quick, dont have to call twice for anything. Very welcoming, very caring, nice and pleasant.
I loved todays experience and am looking forward to many more days with them. I love my new PCP and im going to change all my family members to come see him.
Dr Pardave, thank you for your interest in the care of your patients. It is greatly appreciated.

Dr. Pardave is very thorough and personable. I’m happy I found this office. Staff is great too.

I’ve been searching for a new primary care doctor and am grateful that Unilocal led me to Dr. Pardave. Hard to find a doctor who seems to really care and doesn’t just rush you in and out. Same with his staff. Grateful for all of them.

I’ve been looking for a family physician for quite some time now and went to see Dr. Pardave after seeing the reviews on Unilocal.The staff was super courteous and helpful. Dr. Pardave was so friendly, very thorough, and made me feel at ease during the entire visit. Many doctors often make you feel like they’re your superior and isn’t very welcoming but Dr. Pardave was just the opposite. He took the time to answer all my questions with genuine concern. I am extremely happy to have found him as my primary care physician.

Finally, a great doctor!
I’ve moved a lot in my life, and finding a good doctor in a new area is nearly impossible. I have had chronic health issues and I seldom find a doctor who cares and really takes me seriously. But Doctor Pardave goes above and beyond.
I read the great Unilocal reviews and thought, alright, I’ll give it a shot. Boy, did I choose right!
He took a lot of time to get to know me and get a comprehensive understanding of my health. I never felt like he was rushing to get from patient to patient. Yes, since everyone gets that attention, that did mean that I waited a little before he came in to see me… but it’s worth it for the level of in-​depth care I received.
The most important thing about Dr. Pardave was that he validated my concerns and treated me well. He said, «I trust that what you’re experiencing is real.» It’s funny that such a simple sentence goes so far in making a patient feel recognized. A lot of doctors have made me feel like my issues didn’t matter or that I was taking up too much of their time… but not Dr. Pardave. I felt that I was being heard and that my experience and my health were seen as important.
In addition, the desk staff is remarkably friendly. (None of the usual indifference or general annoyed attitude I’ve often seen in doctors’ offices.) It’s a pleasant, joking, safe environment that just feels a whole lot better than anywhere else I’ve been.
I have only had my first appointment but am already completely sold on this place.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I adore Dr. Pardave! He is kind and patient and his staff is AMAZING!!! I love Greg and Maria!!!

I met Dr. Pardave for the very first time sometime in 2013 and found him through Unilocal.I was convinced to come and gave him a try based on his positive reviews. I was pleased to get to know him. He is an awesome doctor. Will be coming here again and I can definitely say, he is our primary doctor.

I had a wonderful experience at Dr. Pardave’s office. Usually doctors visits means lots of time in the waiting room, however, I was seen right at my appointment time. Dr. Pardave and his employees were very friendly and I felt comfortable right away. I am thrilled to have found a doctor I will continue to use as my general practitioner.

I was looking for a new doctor and came up on some reviews for Dr P. I really didn’t think he could be that great, but man he is! He’s awesome! Makes you feel super comfortable. He was very friendly, listened to everything that I had to say, and made me feel great about visiting the doctors office again. I always dread going to the doctors office, but not anymore I love my new Dr! Thank you for everything!

Best and friendliest doctor and staff that I’ve ever met. Thorough and efficient. I wish all doctors offices could be like this.

I have developed a fear of doctors after my latest string of medical disasters and I was extremely nervous when I walked into the office this past Monday. Thankfully, all of my fears were quickly dismissed thanks to an amazing staff that is just all around nice. Dr. Pardave was thorough as we went through my first full physical in years and I knew quickly that he will be my doctor for many years to come because I felt safe while in the office. I am also grateful that both he and his wife offer women’s health services as the location is convenient for me.
So if you’re in the market for a new family doctor, come see Dr. Pardave!

Dr. Pardave has been my primary care provider for years. He is smart, conscientious and compassionate. He takes the time to ask questions, listen and talk to you.
If I have a complaint, it’s that he runs a little late. I suspect that is because he does spend extra time with his patients.
He is a gem.
