Patient Reviews

 This review is posted for sake of anyone looking outside traditional healthcare for relief from persistent pain.

I found Dr. Yafai on recommendation of a physician family member who trained with her at UCLA.  After months of constant pain in the aftermath of a bout of shingles, little relief from standard medicine offered by my primary care physician, dermatologist and neurologist, I was ready to look to out of the box options for help.  "Medical marijuana" was recommended by several friends.  I figured out how to get a recommendation to obtain legally access to marijuana for medicinal use.  Then I was lost.  I soon realized that I was expected to navigate my options by trial and error, with direction from only the nice but basically untrained dispensary sales staff.

My initial efforts were disappointing.  Then I found and consulted with "Dr. Sherry."  From the beginning, she really listened to my experience, heard my goals and kept my treatment on track.  And "medical marijuana" was really treated like medicine, with specific instructions on specific strains, mode of delivery and dose titrations.  Dr. Yafai is first and foremost a physician.  She has demonstrated a solid understanding of my medical history, current prescriptions and has offered me true medical guidance.  Beyond her knowledge base, she has maintained a supportive attitude, generous accessibility and given me hope that I will finally find effective pain management.   Her knowledge and willingness to help me is fantastic.

I highly recommend Dr. Yafai to anyone looking for expert guidance to navigate options for symptom management that can sometimes fall through the cracks of mainstream medicine.

 Managing Allen's, my husband, pain may not be enough to cure him, even with potential other benefits of the CBD oil.  But it is a critical step to him surviving it all.  We are deeply appreciative of your expertise and the possibility it provides for successfully navigating this harsh course of treatment...

Our great appreciation of having a trained MD specialist who can inform and improve pain management and nausea management gives us confidence that we are in good hands.  

It is so good to get him home, his pain is decreased, his discomfort associated with the pain decreased and eventually enough appetite for me to pick up some Chinese food.  While we were out doing pharmacy errands, he was recoiling with every tiny bump in the road.  Once home, fed, cream on his side, one relief dose. He's relaxed, watching a show on TV and said his pain is relatively gone and he is back to watching TV.  

I'd call that significant progress. If he can relax, eat, move about, and sleep, he has a chance to heal and to keep doing his work. July 2018

 Dr.Sherry Yafai,will be one of the best things you ever did for  yourself,by seeing her.I am seeing her as a patient and if you follow  her recommendations you will be amazed of the results that can  transpire. Dr.Sherry Yafai has always been there for me.And is the nicest  and Big hearted Doctor I have ever had. I had to stop taking  prescription opiates that I had been taking for over 12 years and was  terrified of going through withdrawal. It did not happen, her treatment  prevented all the bad stuff that is associated with opiate withdrawal  with me.   

 Written about her shoulder pain that is scheduled for upcoming surgery. Helen is in her 80s and couldn't lift her L arm due to severe shoulder pain. Avoiding narcotics and using minimal over the counter medications made it difficult for her to play with her grandchildren who were coming to visit. Her goals were reviewed and the treatment plan included topical. Here is how she describes the results.  

"(The cream) made me pleasantly surmount and rise above my shoulder angst. "

     .... now to get help, kindness, caring, love from the medical profession for a human life. I am honestly amazed that I made it to you. I walked away feeling happy for once in a very long time. And I feel safe... You have my highest respect as a human being.  

   THANK YOU ...  

...for such an uplifting and promising consult. I ... am very hopeful and excited for this CBD journey.
