Gofnung Yaroslav MD

I have been seeing him almost a year at the Westlake UCLA facility. Have seen a major improvement in my health. He is caring, personal, counselor. I would highly recommend him for endocrine and other harmonal health related issues. He has great bedside manners and a good listener. He spends time with us to diagnose the issues and never hesitate to write any tests to be taken.

Dr Gofnung is so good that you have to book an appointment months in advance. A n urgent issue requires calling daily to see if a cancellation has opened up a time to be seen earlier. His initial consults are thorough and in depth. Come with your list of questions and concerns, because he will take the time to answer them. At his new UCLA affiliated office in Westlake Village, Ca. he is part of a multi doctor practice that runs efficiently, but feels more like a clinic than a private practice. Once you get through all the various receptionists and finally get an appointment, expect to fill out forms before you arrive. Down load them from the internet. It will save you some waiting room time, otherwise your appointment time is really scheduled ½ before you actually see the doctor. So if you’re an early bird, you will wait longer. Remember it’s a time slot you ‘re filling. If you’re the slightest bit late however, beware. They will threaten to reschedule you. Otherwise Dr. Gofnung is highly educated and personable and has good communication skills.

So I was feeling a little down following my recent diagnosis of gyneconastia — enlarged male breasts. My primary care doc recommended I see Dr Gofnung because «the guy could cure AIDS with a bandaid.» So I went. I wasn’t expecting much. Like I said I was really depressed, man-​boobs will do that to you. Dr Gofnung was amazing, more than a doctor really — What would I call him? Close friend? Confidant? Counseler? A shoulder to cry on? He’s all of these and more. My life has completely changed. Now there is a spring in my step, I find myself skipping to work (yes, they jiggle a little, so what?) My burden seems a lot lighter — (except my man-​cleave of course). I’m finding checks I have no business writing miraculously clear. So would I recommend him? Absolutely. Five stars! Actually I’m deducting one because although my attitude has improved tremendously, I do still have my ‘moobs.
