Dr. Lana Ljubisa Milton, MD

I have been seeing Dr. Milton for approximately six months. She is exceptionally well versed with medication. On the initial hour visit she was extremely thorough concerning past history, any cross medication issues and current recommendations for psychiatric medication. My evaluations have been through FaceTime, and I’ve never experienced any delay in the appointment, any phone calls or interruptions during the appointment or any rude or unprofessional behavior. In fact, I feel privileged to have found her during Covid and the shortage of psychiatric care. My care has been exceptional. I actually went outside of Kaiser in order to find better medical care. Kaiser has a very good counseling department, however. I have made recommendations to others.

I had been seeing Dr. Milton for several years up until recently. I decided to find someone else after finding someone else much closer to home and feeling that some of my recent problems with her was a clear sign to move on. While she was rather encouraging, I often that she talked down to me like a small child by dismissing many of my concerns and disclosing many of my conversations with her with my family that had nothing to do with harming myself or others. I give her a failing grade in doctor-patient confidentiality, but she does seem to know the medications she prescribes well enough.

Dr. Milton has guided me through some very difficult times. She knows her stuff, she listens and, most importantly, I believe she genuinely cares about her patients, including me. She has personally followed up on intensely personal issues by calling directly and conveying her concerns. That kind of follow-up gives me a tremendous feeling of safety -- that I am in excellent hands. Dr. Milton is ahead of the curve on new treatments. Her approach is highly effective. I am not a mind doctor, so her magic will remain her mystery. All I know is this -- it works. Let's be candid. One naturally views a review from a psychiatric patient with a jaundiced eye. All I know is this -- I haven't been 5150'd yet and it has everything to do with Dr. Milton. Three cheers for Dr. Milton. If your mind and soul are troubled, you should definitely seek her out.

Dr. Milton scores below all normal expectations of a good doctor, however I actually like it because I can get in & out quick with my rx. It's true that she rarely wears shoes & is abrupt but she serves the purpose for me. Her receptionist & bookkeeper are on the rude side too. Just so you know what you're dealing with.

She does not listen and argues when you correct her. NEVER on time!!! Very unprofessional.

She was 45 min late for my appointment. She was rude and was shaking down another client for money when she finally came out. Then she proceeded to eat cookies throughout my whole appointment and she wore no shoes. Worse than that, she didn't seem to be listening to me at all, repeatedly got information wrong that i told her more than 3 times. She interrupted me repeatedly, gave (bad) advice and tried to tell me what I should and shouldn't do. She exhibited no care, sensitivity or professionalism.

Dr. Milton, at one time, was very insightful into what was going on with me. But then things changed and it seemed to be she became very arrogant, acting very unprofessionally, by repeatedly taking personal, non-emergency phone calls during our sessions (making dinner plans, speaking with a gardner!!) and even though I mentioned this was bothersome to me, it didn't stop. When she started cancelling our previously scheduled sessions to go to the Hollywood Bowl, and telling me about it, I stopped seeing her.
