Phillip A Musikanth, MD

I went to Dr. Musikanth a few years ago specifically just asking for a celiac test, he ended up giving me quite a few other tests given to me that I didn’t even ask for, for everything — and they had nothing to do with what I came in for… Which is fine — except I ended up paying over $ 600 for those tests and the office never got back to me during my inquiries. The whole process seemed pretty shady.

I was referred by a good Friend who she said this doctor would be amazing for me ! I called front desk and yes there is a little bit of a wait to see him! I made my appointment and when I saw Doctor Musikanth I felt secured and taking care of. I was feeling ill for over two months. Immediately my doctor identified what was my illness.

A knowledgeable, understanding and kind doctor. I highly recommend Dr. Musikanth. The wait list may be long to get in as a new patient, but it is well worth it. 5 stars for quality medical service.

Went to Dr. Musikanth in January of 2013 at Synergy Medical so hopefully the way the office operates has improved since then… I still felt it was important to make prospective new patients aware of what the experiences have been like at this office before they choose to seek treatment here.
Dr. Musikanth himself was very nice and appeared knowledgable in regards to any questions I had.
The way the office was run was a completely different story however.
1. At the time a woman by the name of Helena Tinoco sent me ANOTHER PATIENT’s urine test results when I requested to have a written copy of my own results from a physical I had emailed to me. She then sent a frantic email asking me to delete them without even acknowledging that she still hadnt sent me my own results after almost two weeks of me asking for them
2. The nurse had a hard time taking my blood and blamed it on being me being «dehydrated». I’ve never had that experience before having my blood drawn at any other office. Perhaps this may seem like an unfair assessment of the situation, but the nurse seemed a little green which gave me an overall feeling of unease. i wonder if anyone else has experienced this
3. I was sent a bill from the lab where my blood was sent. I called my insurance company to ask what the problem was. My insurance said my lab work was sent to a lab that was not approved by my insurance. WEIRD. Anyway, when I contacted Helena, i left many messages via phone and email with no response. When she did finally reply via email she told me the lab results were not sent to the lab that sent me the bill. WHAT? When I emailed her the bill I received clearly showing her that she was wrong, I got no response from anyone in the office.
4. Also agree with previous posts that getting through to the office was in fact impossible and so I am now on the hunt for a new doctor.
Hopefully Dr. Musikanth has since looked through these reviews and has made adjustments to his practice accordingly…
…and that Helena has taken a permanent vacation away from the office ;)

Playing phone tag with a doctor’s office is simply ridiculous. I tried calling for two days and got a machine every single time, and I called over a dozen times. I even left two voicemails. It is simply impossible to reach a live person at this office. I have never heard of such a thing.
Having just gotten health insurance and trying to make my first doctors appointment in years, I was excited about the glowing reviews of Dr Musikanth’s patient care. I decided to give it a shot even with the negative reviews talking about the awful service, or lack there of. Nope, unfortunately they were all true. What a joke.

I agree with all of the positive reviews concerning Dr Musikanth. I have followed him from his two earlier practices and other locations. He is a kind and caring physician. He plays a central role in my heath care. Not only that he is knowledgable and keeps current with the state of the art of medicine. Dr Musikanth takes great care with his patients.
Agatha, his assistant is helpful in scheduling appointments and having medication refilled. Doug works at the front desk is courteous and also a nice person. He gets to know each patient very well and is a doll.
Michael Gotltleib MD a world famous physician and immunologist works in this office. He is an EXPERT in his field. He is another reason to be a patient in this office. He was the
All said and done Dr Musikanth is a FIVE STAR PHYSICIAN. He is so smart and good looking too. The reason that I’ve deducted two stars is due to the way Synergy Medical Group manages its office. It is difficult to speak to a live person when you phone and call the office. Unfortunately there is a lot of phone tag. There also have been issues with the billing office and the lack of professional courtesy involved. It’s really too bad for Philip.
Parking is in a non-​validated lot. Do not park on Olympic as towing happens every day from 3 – 7 pm everyday and it can cost you more than $ 500.

I planned on switching from Dr. Del Rosario to Dr. Musikanth as I have heard great things about him and Dr. Del Rosario spoke very highly of him. However after speaking to his assistant and the other staff in the office, something I never had to deal with with Dr. Del Rosario, I have decided to go elsewhere. It’s unfortunate that I found them rude and nothing like I experienced in the 5 years prior going to that office. I hope they change their attitudes as from everything I have heard, he’s a great doctor.

Dr. Musikanth is an excellent diagnostician, but that’s not where it stops. Never in all my years have I found a more compassionate, caring and thorough doctor. I trust him implicitly, and other family members and friends are also in his care. I cannot sing Dr. Muskanth’s praises enough. He takes time and care with each visit and makes you feel very safe. Dr. Musikanth is a standout for his knowledge and expertise. The staff is very professional as well. A-​plus all around!

Phillip Musikanth has been my Doctor for almost 20 years, he’s simply the best there is. He takes time with me and listens, I don’t know what I’d do if he decided to retire and my Husband feels the same way.

Dr. Musikanth is truly a gem! I’ve been going to him forever and wouldn’t stop even if he weren’t in my health insurance plan!
He is so kind and really takes his time with each patient. He’s technologically on the ball too… there have been instances when I’m in his office and ask him a question that if he doesn’t know, he accesses info on his Blackberry and POOF! He has the answer.
He’s extremely personable, always remembers me even if it’s been a long time between visits and usually makes me chuckle… we’ve even had conversations about our dogs! In short, the guy NEVER rushes, is very knowledgeable and is someone that I will say would be the kind of person you’d want as a friend or neighbor!
I have the utmost confidence in him and his delightful staff and can’t recommend him enough!

A really good doctor and a member of Synergy Medical Group. It’s a pretty well run office although it can be difficult to get through initially. Came here after leaving Pacific Oaks Medical Group which was a trainwreck. It’s nice to have cofidence back!
