N Arr Alinsod, MD

I love this office. Whenever I have called, they always get me in the same day. Dr. Alinsod takes his time with his patients and addresses all questions and concerns. When I haven’t been able to see him due to my schedule, I have seen his partner Dr. Davis and she was great as well. Overall, a very caring group!

I called the office to inquire about becoming a new patient and the woman who answered the phone was rude. During the dialogue, she wouldn’t stop talking long enough to listen and allow me to talk or complete my sentences. I literally had to say, «Can you please let me finish?». I finally just told her nevermind and hung up.

I’ve been going to Dr. Alinsod since I was 18. This man is a professional and a really good person. He genuinely cares, and has concerns for his patients. His staff members are also wonderful! Makes you feel comfortable and treats you with so much positivity. I really like this practice, and I’ve built such a good bond with everyone there.

Terrible front counter. Over six months trying to get a general physical. The office’s constantly rescheduling last minute gives me no option but to look for another Doctor. This last rescheduling I was set to see Dr Allinsod and last minute dump me to Dr Pao’s replacement changing my time of appointment and creating a conflict of schedules yet once again. If you value your time and schedule look elsewhere.
When Dr. Pao did practice at this office I would come in for a visit with an issue if another issue arose during the visit they would not address the issue. Instead they would want you to schedule another appointment for that secondary issue.

I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Alinsod and his staff. I’ve been with Dr. Alinsod for over 18 years and have recommended him to everyone looking for a caring and professional doctor. He’s compassionate and truly listens to his patients. Unlike other doctors, Dr. Alinsod includes you in the treatment discussion and clearly explains your options. Dr. Alinsod and his staff get my highest rating.

Dr. Alinsod (pronounced Allen-​Sod) is terrific!
If you’re looking for a doctor in the valley or Burbank area, this is your guy. I didn’t have a doctor here as I had only recently moved to LA. Glad I stumbled upon Dr. Alinsod, who’s easy going and good at what he does. When you have an appt, he doesn’t make you feel rushed (like you’re just another patient), and he ensures that you are in good hands. In my experience so far, the rest of the office is friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

Well after watching my mom die of ovarian cancer, I feel this review if fair and just. I sent you a private message about my mother. It was not another Dr Alinsod, it was you. I was considering suing you but was so stressed out at the time I could not fathom pursuing it. She had that lousy HMO Secure Horizons and you were one of the options.
My mother was not diagnosed by you, but rather an ER doc at St Josephs, who said (when he saw her uterus being pushed out of her vagina by the tumor), f**** HMOs. I hope you have the moral character to be accountable for your actions.
And no M.G. of Los Angeles, it was not another Dr. Alinsod. Please do not comment on things you do not know or understand.

I need to follow up with him. Last time I was there the practice was good and the doctors were really good.

In response to Siena R’s review about her mother’s ovarian cancer, I can only conclude that she must have seen a different Dr. Alinsod or that her review is a fake. About 8 years ago I went to Dr. N. Arr Alinsod for what I thought must be a urinary tract infection. He requested a urine sample and discovered a little blood and few bacteria. He ordered an ultrasound to take place the very next day where they found one of my ovaries was the size of a cantaloupe. Dr. Alinsod said I needed to have surgery before a week was out. The pre-​surgical blood work showed it was cancer. Surgery showed I had it in both ovaries. My cancer was caught while I was still in Stage I. I’m alive today thanks to Dr. Alinsod knowing that even a little blood in the urine could indicate ovarian cancer and his scheduling me for an immediate ultrasound.

My family and I have been seeing Dr. Alinsod for 15+ Years. We all vary in ages. 3 Boys. My Mother and Father Also See him. In my teen years My brothers an I had terrible asthma and were treated often. Here we are years later starting our own families still seeing him. My girlfriend just recently switched her primary care to his office as well. Thanks Dr. Alinsod! Will recommend 100% Burbanks BEST!

I appreciate the fact that when my appointment is at 10am, I am seen at 10am. Dr. Alinsod makes me feel as if my time is just as valuable as his time, unlike other healthcare professionals. My four children are not intimidated or afraid when going into visits. Dr. Alinsod puts all of our minds to ease.

Dr. Allinsod has been my doctor for 14 years. he is one of the few doctors who truly cares for his patients!!!

Been going to Dr. Alinsod for as long as I can remember and I’ve always been treated extremely well. He’s been a great doctor!

Great doctors and bedside manner!

Best doctor ever! The entire office is awesome! Dr Alinsod really gets to know his patients and is such a caring doctor– unlike some we’ve dealt with in the past who are out to make a quick buck. My kids love going to the doctor when they’re sick because everyone there is so nice. There is never a problem making an appointment to be seen because they always find a way to squeeze us in when needed. Dr Alinsod’s nurse Maria is magical at giving vaccinations and my kids don’t feel a thing (so no tears). I am always confident that my family will be taken well care of after being seen by Dr Alinsod.

Dr. Alinsod has been our family doctor for over 15 years. This man and his staff are the salt of the earth. He has treated our family with kindness and understanding and never ever rushed through a visit. His nurse Maria is his right hand woman and is a big part of why we love being patients of Dr. Alinsod. Nancy the girl at the front desk always tries to fit us into his busy schedule and welcomes you with a big smile as soon as you walk in. The fact that his staff has been with him for has long as we have, speaks highly to his ability not only to be a great doctor but also a wonderful employer. I hope you have a chance to meet this wonderful man and his team. I know he is very busy and am not sure if he takes new patients. Should you be able to be seen, count yourself as very lucky. Good doctors are hard to find (so I hear)!

A Doctor worthy of a 1000 stars!
I’ve constantly jumped from doctor to doctor in search of the right one, but my search has finally ended. During my initial visit Dr. Alinsod spent a great deal of time learning about my family medical history. He also took the time to show me a few stretches which would counter the negative effects of working at a desk for long periods throughout the day. Most importantly, he listened and didn’t try to rush me out of the office. I will definitely be back!

I have been a patient of Dr. Alinsod for over 11 years now and I am VERY happy with him and his team. He is very easy going and easy to talk to. Makes it a lil less painful going to the doctor. I would highly recommend him!

I want to take the opportunity and say Thank you and many Thank you to you Dr. Alinsod and your complete staff on an amazing job well done. You’ve been treating my mother and father for the past 10 years and always there for them. Your kind, generous, understanding, explaining the issues so easy and listen very carefully to your patience needs are. Your staff are all the same as you are like one family.
Thank you again to all of you Dr. Alinsod and thank you for taking care of my parents Michel and Samira.
Best Regards,
Jack

Dr. Alinsod is the best GP, hands down.
He has been my doctor for almost 4 years now and it has been wonderful not having to dread going to see him. As others have pointed out, he really takes time and pays attention to his patients instead of having to repeat yourself and your history every time you visit (or multiple times in the same visit).
But what I personally enjoy is that he doesn’t just throw pills at a problem and give you some vague description of what is happening, but really takes the time to show you and explain the problem, how your body is reacting, WHY you need whatever he is prescribing, and how it will help.
I really don’t like taking medications that I don’t understand or that are not absolutely necessary to the condition or healing process, so that is really important to me.
He also is mindful that medications and care can be costly and takes the best course of action he can while minding a ‘budget.’
For example, I had a really bad case of bronchitis and ended up going to the urgent care. The Dr. there prescribed me 3 different inhalers AND a steroid and an antibiotic — at the pharmacy, I was informed that 2 of the inhalers were interchangeable, so I only filled the order for one. 4 prescriptions totaling over $ 100 (after insurance), I had a follow-​up with Dr. Alinsod the following week with my condition not much better — The 2 inhalers I got were (again) the same medication and were generally for asthmatic attacks! Not cool, Urgent Care — not cool.
So (really) long story short: Alinsod is king of the doctors. You will not be disappointed in him OR his office staff.
