 |  his weight loss program and overall diagnostic accuracy is the best that I have ever see. I have been to Cedars Sinai and UCLA medical center and Dr. Pierson was far more effective for me in my condition.  |  show details

Dr. Pierson and his staff helped me get through some very troubling times during my health crises. I feel better now than ever before in my life. He takes time to explain what is going on and why certain treaments work over others. I am very satisfied and recommend him highly.

I was recommended by a friend to change from my current physician whom I was unhappy with and too far away for me. I went to Dr. Pierson's office where everyone was friendly and welcoming. Dr. Pierson is there 5 days a week and he is there on time. He is a calm spirited doctor. I felt at ease. It was a refreshing experience.

a somewhat un-glorified Medicare and disability clinic/weight loss specialty practice in the back rooms of another medical group's offices. His office must be paid cash.

Incompetent receptionist, doctor wasn't clear with what tests he was running. Charged 5$ for 5 pieces of paper of blood work results. Incorrectly submitted information to the insurance agency. The Doctor and Receptionist were unfamiliar with insurance procedures.

Scheduled unnecessary blood work tests. Then on the following appointment didn't clearly go through the results. Charge me 5$ for 5 pieces of paper for copying my blood work results. Doesn't listen to you as a patient. I would avoid this doctor if at all possible.

Dr. Pierson is one of a kind General Practitioner. His dedication and concern for his patient's well-being and continum of care is exemplary.Apparently, Dr. Pierson's mold was not broken by yesterday's conscientious and devoted physician's, who gave their patient's only the best of care.

I was admitted to LA Metro Hospital for psychiatric evaluation and Dr. Pierson was the internist assigned to me. Although the nurses clearly documented my seizure disorder and took a Dilantin level on admission(WNL), Dr. Pierson neglected to continue the Dilantin and I ended up transferred to an ER with Gran Mal seizures within 2 days.
