MIchael K. Sachs's Online Review Report Card

OUTSTANDING PEDIATRICIAN. I TRUST HIM 100%.1. Dr. Sachs is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and responsive.2. Dr. Sachs is authoritative enough to tell you when something HAS to be done, but also flexible enough to let you decide for yourself in the gray areas.3. Dr. Sachs is also very available; he messages you back and calls you when appropriate, and it's easy to schedule appointments including same-day appointments.When our newborn was jaundiced and losing weight, Dr. Sachs told us that we had to get a bilirubin test that day and then come in for a Saturday weight check because Monday would be too long to wait. On the other hand, when he pointed out our infant's slightly misshapen ears, he told us, "I would tell you if you definitely needed to do a procedure on them or if you definitely did not need to do the procedure. In this case, it's in the gray area. However, I would have a specialist look at them and see what he says." (We did ultimately take our newborn to specialists and did not do the procedure, and the ears look fine)This is exactly what you want in a pediatrician--somebody who lets you make your own decisions when appropriate but also has the authority to tell you when you need to do something for your baby's health.Dr Sachs's insistence on a proper vaccination schedule shows what a good doctor he is. You want a doctor with backbone, not a doctor that will cater to trendy, unscientific, stupid fears. Also, his office keeps slots open for same-day scheduling which is a godsend for when your kid gets sick overnight. The whole office is friendly, efficient, and provides the best care for a child and parent that you can possibly get.

Caring Dr

We have been seeing Dr. Sachs for the better part of 10 years now and have 4 girls he cares for. Even when we travel we come home for their appointments because I can't imagine taking them anywhere else. Dr. Sachs, his partners, and his staff are always so caring and I truly feel that is invested in my daughter's health and wellbeing. He calls to check on us, he emails, he puts up with my millions of crazy questions and I couldn't be happier with everything he's done for our family. Highly recommend.

Dr. Sachs is the most competent pediatrician in Los Angeles. I have been taking my son--who has complex medical issues since birth-- to Dr. Sachs for the past 16 years. Dr. Sachs is consistently warm, caring, compassionate, and interested in hearing what my son is going through.  He takes his time to gather information and listens to my input--since I am the primary caregiver. He has never shown any frustrating, burn out, or prejudice over having to deal with the special needs of my son--no matter how challenging. He is extremely professional while caring, highly focused & knowledgeable, while collaborative. He is a team player as over the years he has had to incorporate feedback from many specialists who have seen my son. Finally, when my son was in the hospital with a systemic infection a few months ago, Dr. Sachs went above and beyond to be available and helpful to us. We are eternally grateful for his loving competent services

The best!

really nice guy been going to for years. Old fashion in a way which is what I like about him....

Dr Sachs has been my four kids pediatrician for the last 10 years. Being a healthcare provide myself, I can tell you that pediatricians don't get better than this. He has an excellent knowledge base, incredible bedside manner, and is very accommodating.  Highly recommend!

Dr Michael Sachs must be one the best Pediatrician Doctors i have come across.Very personable, very knowledgable, respectful and extremely helpful. Answers all the questions, and a couple times even via email. Has given us great referrals on Allergists, Dermatologists and Dentists for our Son.I highly recommend Dr Sachs. The office is very clean, and the staff always smiling.

Incredibly helpful and flexible seeing my daughter last minute when her regular Ped wasn't in, and due to his many years of experience, had insight we hadn't had before (and I doubt our usual do would've thought of).  He is a wonderful doctor and very caring and thoughtful, and it is obvious he thinks like a parent as well as a physician. I appreciated his help so much.  Will definitely feel confident going back to him again.
