Doctor Rob doesn’t take insurance. However, I submitted a claim to my insurance on my own, and it paid 50% of the claim. I have never came across a doctor who would take my lab results and explain every numbers on the lab report to me. He suggestions on using food and vitamins to heal is awesome. I highly recommend this doctor. He is what a doctor supposed to be, really care for his patients.

Dr. Rob is a thorough, compassionate healer and one of the most progressive doctors I’ve consulted. I’ve visited many holistic doctors in the span of 10 years and each one provided one piece of the puzzle, but Dr. Rob got to the root because he is most up to date on modern studies and is thorough in his thinking of the body as a whole. He took time to review my case, my tests, and observe me over time to come to a conclusion. He was thoughtful with his advice, and never overcharged me. Like you and me, he has bills to pay and doctors have high costs to run their practice. But to address the negative review on here from someone who has never met him, he is not a doctor driven by money. He is a doctor driven to help people.
And by the way, I’m not rich — far from it. I afforded Dr. Rob’s fees by saving money and paying off his fee on a credit card because I believe my health is worth it.
When people mention the cost of a visit, I wonder if they have health insurance? A visit to Dr. Rob is way less than some monthly insurance plans, most deductibles, and will save you tons of money in the long-​run from seeing specialists with costly co-​pays and experiencing the joy of having your health insurance deny claims based on what they think you need. I have spent 50% less choosing alternative medicine than when I was diagnosed with a disease and was paying tons for insurance, co-​pays, medicines, procedures, etc. You’ve got to put it into perspective and ask yourself what is your health worth in the long-​run? Disease is expensive to treat, why do you think we see so many pharmaceutical commercials dominating the market? It’s a huge business thanks to patients being uninformed about how to properly care for and take responsibility for their health. The average doctor is not teaching people this, and isn’t educated about modern health threats that are making people sick.
For me, Dr. Rob has been a Godsend. He is highly educated and informative. He is generous with his time, accessible, easy to work with, a great listener and best of all: this doctor actually cares. I can’t say that for the majority of doctors I’ve worked with in the past 20+ years.
Thank you, Dr. Rob!

Dr. Krochmal is amazing… I am not one who really enjoys going to the «doctor» but his office is so comfortable and he makes health a very positive experience. He is a new trend of doctors out there… one that makes a difference…

I moved to LA from the east coast because of serious health issues, all stemming from some big mistakes during surgeries and from the wrong medications after. I came here seeking functional, integrative, holistic medicine doctors who would hopefully use a more personal approach and not just keep shoving medications and drugs down my throat. I went through hell and was treated like a number by many doctors over a period of years, which is depressing and frustrating. For any symptom or complaint was a new medication/​drug, and never figuring out the root problems. I wanted to get off all medications and use nutrition, supplementation, hormone replacement therapy/​balancing if needed, and long term solutions to improve my quality of life. I went to numerous doctors and there are many in this area thankfully, but ended up with Dr. Krochmal as my primary care guy.
He takes a half hour or hour personally each appointment in a totally relaxed, non-​doctor office like setting. He is so personal and actually really interested in helping you, sort of like a super friendly version of Dr. House. He enjoys trying to figure out stuff other doctors disregard or cant figure out. So I saw him and was having massive issues with my immune system, digestive system, low hormones, adrenal fatigue, chronic illness and fatigue, and overall was just in pain and miserable. I was on 6 or 8 medications many of them being narcotics-​it was hell. Within 3 – 4 months using diet changes, supplements, vitamin injections and IVs, and balancing my hormones, I was off of all medications. He is also amazing that he coordinates care with other doctors if need be, taking the time to communicate with them also to make sure there is nothing he is missing or others within your medical care might need to know. I really cannot say enough about him, after being with him for two years it is like I have a new lease on life, am so much happier, healthier, and have been continuing to improve my health to levels other doctors would have never imagined or just plain didnt care.
He also is the first doctor Ive met who seems to be continually keeping up on research in nutrition and supplements, always seeking better ways to do things naturally. He is SHARP and will whip research and explanations for things off the top of his head like it is nothing. His waiting rooms are stocked with books on supplements, nutrition, breathing, yoga, mind-​body, fitness, all sorts of interesting stuff and its clear he actually has read them all! He is an Ivy League undergrad guy and UCLA med school with dual board certified in family medicine and a nutritional specialist. As wicked intelligent as he is, the biggest selling point is his personality and heart. If you have had issues where other doctors made mistakes, had poor bedside manners, rushed you in and out, didnt seem to listen to you or be open minded in figuring out whatever is nagging you looking at you as a whole person, I bet if you saw Dr. Krochmal you would be pleasantly surprised. He is worth every penny as well as any distance you need to drive, and I do drive a decent amount to see him but would not have it any other way. Even if I move from LA back to the east coast I plan on flying back and keeping him as my primary care doctor. It has been LIFE CHANGING. I wish my parents could see him from the east coast as well as friends who have lingering, nagging, or somewhat mysterious issues other doctors just throw medications at or tell you basically «hey your labs come out ok, nothing on the scans or X-​Rays, so you are not dying just live with it»…you wont get that with Dr. Krochmal.
I could go on and on… all I gotta say is please if you have something bothering you and have come up dry or frustrated with other doctors, make an appointment to see him. If you want to prevent issues or worry about possible genetic health problems that could impact you in the future, see him and do preventive work now. If you are an athlete, competitive or recreational, here is finally a doctor who understands things about working out, nutrition/​diets, and supplements. Shocker I know, wish I knew him when I was still a competitive athlete wonder how much better I could have been.
Good luck.

Dr Krochmal is great! He is an MD but also has a background in nutrition, natural healing. You do have to pay more (and submit yourself to insurance) but what you get is a full length appointment lasting ½ hr to 1 ½ hr where you can go over your whole health.
I believe in everything in the body correlating to everything else and you have to take care of things from the root cause. Not just slap a medication onto a side effect. I have been to regular western doctors and usually my visit is about 5 – 10 minutes and they don’t care about what is really causing the problem, just fixing the current symptom.
He listens and answers all my many questions and seems knowledgeable and not only am I healing current maladies but I believe I am working on preventative care as well. I will save much heartache and money in the future from taking care of my body wholly now. It is worth the money.
