Dr. Lawrence Edward Stein

After being referred to Dr. Stein by my PCP, I was able to get an appointment very quickly to diagnose my hearing loss. Dr. Stein was able to make an accurate diagnosis incredibly fast, and a couple of days later he performed what some might consider minor surgery to remove a cholesteatoma (an abnormal collection of skin cells deep inside the ear canal) and patch a hole in my ear drum. Remarkably, I instantly regained my hearing. After the procedure, Dr. Stein took the time to give me a detailed demonstration of the procedures -- and they were by no means simple -- requiring skill, knowledge and a great deal of experience. I am totally impressed. One thing that I will add after reading some negative comments: if you understand New York humor, you will find Dr. Stein uproariously entertaining. If not, one could easily misunderstand his demeanor as a bit quirky. But regardless, you can be sure that you are in good hands.

He showed a very strange behavior the first time I went to see him. Spend more time double-checking my insurance and ID than actually addressing the consultation. Asked me strange questions like "is that even your real address?" or "is this ID even real?" just because of my foreign accent. He also charged me 60 dollars upfront even though my insurance covers the copay "in case my documents were fake". Once he verified my documents are on rule, suddenly became a normal, respectful doctor for the next meetings. The guy seems to believe to be an immigration officer of some sort. I think he is more qualified to such position rather than as a doctor. He showed a very strange behavior the first time I went to see him.

Dr. Lawrence E. Stein should have his license revoked to practice medicine. He is an "ENT" doctor who gives false diagnosis. He is kind and prompt, but he is incompetent. I went there for laryngitis, he literally told me to open my mouth and after 1 second said "okay." After I said "did you check my vocal chords? I called based on vocal strain specifically, he said he did and prescribed me a general antibiotic. I didn't find out until I went to Dr. Cohen, a real doctor, that the vocal chords need a camera through the nose to see, that is how every doctor sees the vocal chords, so Dr. Lawrence did not care to do that. So keep in mind, though he may seem "prompt and kind" Dr. Lawrence Stein is not someone who should be allowed to practice medicine, he should get a job where a false diagnosis isn't going to be a problem, but I can't think of many jobs where that is credible, especially medicine. I live in Calabasas and was in a hurry to find an ENT, and it was a mistake generally to go to Lawrence Stein. This comment is not made for me, this comment is made for other people in the community of the San Fernando valley, save your money and help your health generally, do not go to Dr. Stein for your medical condition, find another ENT.

Dr. Stein did a great job with my sinus surgery. The price was significantly more reasonable than other sinus specialists I called. Surgery and recovery both went smoother than expected and the ladies in the front office, I believe Pam and Amelia are their names, were very helpful in the process. Overall a great experience.

I found Dr Stein to be short tempered and impatient with me and my questions. I will not be going back for a follow up appointment...I will find another doctor.

He’s a very good doctor, I would highly recommend him. He’s very throughly, he’s straight to the point! He’s also quirky, you’ll have a good laugh.

Great Dr. Very Thorough. Have been going to him for at least 15 years. He also did a surgical procedure for me and everything worked out perfectly. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Stein is a thorough professional and wonderful ENT. My family and I have seen him for many years and also enjoy his great wry personality. He is terrific as are his office staff Pam and Amelia who both are very courteous and always assist us to get an appointment asap. Highest recommendation if you are looking for a great ENT.

I am new to the area. I was very sick and Dr. Stein’s office was very accomodating and saw me in the same day. Dr Stein was one of the few local ENT’s that perform surgery as well. He was rated well under my insurance plan for cost savings and I found that to be true. Dr. Stein prepared me very well for my surgery. He is a very thorough doctor. He makes sure the cost to the patient is as minimal as possible. His staff is very nice every time I go in there. He’s quirky and funny, but also very compassionate. I highly recommend his expertise.

Not professional at all. Charges $100 for a visit. Spent more time about asking about my insurance and his secretary if his insurance will pay and all that instead of trying to understand for what reasons i was seeing him. spent like a minute with me, gave me prescription and said you can buy it the pharmacy downstairs. took his prescription for 15 days, no change in my condition at all. They charge for every visit even it's for the same reasons. Where as my school doctor spent a good 40 min not only once but twice trying to understand my condition. Highly disgraceful what some doctor's have become, it was a profession supposed to help people, it is supposed to be a life of sacrifice like military where those guys get paid less than $100 a day but doctor's want you to pay $100 for a minute or two. It's all about money.Greedy people. Not professional at all. Charges $100 for a visit.

Great doctor. Straight to the point throws some humor also. Knows what he is talking about , experience shows. Did my sinus surgery with him. Good to go

Love Dr Stein he is the best, I travel from Oceanside, CA to see him. Love the care and respect he gives to my care.

Dr. Stein is simply wonderful. He may be a little "quirky," but he truly has a personality and his sense of humour is second to none. Let's just say he took care of me during some "difficult times." Amelia and Pamela at the front desk are wonderful as well.

Dr. Stein and his office staff are great. They always find a way to see you quickly. Dr. Stein listens well and is very responsive. He has a great sense of humor which makes going to see the doctor more pleasant. I have only good things to say about him and his practice. I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking for a good ENT. I just read an older review and I see the person said he makes fun of his patients. He made a joke about me and my husband and I are still laughing about it. It was one of the funniest comments I've ever heard from a doctor. He is very funny and, as I said, his humor makes the experience of seeing the doctor less stressful. I wish more of my doctors had a sense of humor like him. Dr. Stein and his office staff are great.
