Dr. Zhanna Michelle Pinkus, MD

If you want to see your healthy pregnancy getting to the finish line avoid Pinkus by any cost.

You cannot get past the Secretary. Dr. secretary borders on rude, obstructing and don’t give one iota for a patient appointment. Go somewhere else with a secretary that is human.

Dr. Pinkus left the Torrance practice without so much as a word to her patients. When I called the practice to complain about that, they said they asked her several times if she wanted to send a letter and she did not. That is patient abandonment and not acceptable.

Love dr. Pinkus, and i am so sad that i will no longer be seeing her due to my insurance. She always took the time to explain things, never felt rushed with her, she is gentle and kind and i think she is a great doctor.

I saw Dr. Pinkus one time, and I felt like she really cared about my concerns. She gave me all the time I needed and never rushed me. I work in the medical field (for an RE) and we ALWAYS recommend Dr. Pinkus and her team of Dr.'s. Patients need to STOP believing in their self-diagnosis' and start believing in the Dr.'s advise. All the negativity stems from the Dr. disagreeing with a pts self diagnosis. Dr. Pinkus is wonderful and I will continue to recommend her practice always!

I had a horrible incident with Dr Pinkus. She handled it extremely poorly and I would Never, EVER recommend her to anyone. Her office staff was uncaring and seemed more concerned with their personal lives than working. The only nice person was at check out. Dr Fisher who works in the same office has NO personality and is completely uncaring. Stay away. Far far away.

I recommend Dr. Pinkus to everyone I know. I've been seeing her for 3 years now and I am always in and out of her office without waiting and still always feel like I have enough time to ask questions. She's one of those doctors who makes you feel like she knows you and cares about you. She's great!

I've had health problems for many years and my GP referred me to Dr. Pinkus to schedule an exploratory surgery. Dr. Pinkus suggested I try a medication in the meantime to see if it would help me. I researched the medication and decided that it was too high a risk for me. At the follow-up I tried to explain my concerns to Dr. Pinkus, ask her questions, and discuss other options that I had also researched. She didn't want to hear any of it and refused to even consider doing anything besides giving me the drug. I believe that a physician should be a partner in healing, and I am very disappointed that Dr. Pinkus didn't seem to want to include me in any part of the decision-making regarding my own health or even hear my opinions.

Dr. Pinkus is very caring and never makes you feel rushed. She is also very thorough. My only complaint is that the time spent in the waiting room is frequently over an hour. When I mentioned this last time, I was told it was because there were three doctors seeing patients that day.

Dr. Pinkus is very caring and takes the time to explain until patients understand. Very excellent bedside manners. She actually returns the calls herself instead of just having the nurse calling you back.
