Middle Path Medicine is in a league all its own! The Supplement Shop offers a comprehensive range of products and their staff is a little quirky but knowledgeable. Dr. Foresman consistently seeks out info from the latest studies while also integrating eastern wisdom and using a keen critical eye to analyze the truth of the matter. Middle Path Medicine is a dynamic practice ran by kind and compassionate individuals. Highly recommend.

I came here after being solicited by Dr G on the Coffee Talk program with Adika where he does a Dr Drew type of thing. The intake call with the secretary Amanda was very odd to start off with. They said they took my insurance which they actually didn't, I found out later. Amanda was trying to schedule me for a tarrot card reading and something to do with my stars. Very odd for a legit doctor's office.
I went to my appointment, spoke to Dr G, and just didn't have a good feeling. He really likes to hear himself talk and wasn't listening to me at all. Then he tried to prescribe me about a dozen different medications which he of course sold. I left feeling like I just need to go back to my real doctor at the hospital. A few days later I was extremely sick and tested positive for covid. I know I got sick at Dr G's office as they confirmed he was off the Coffee Talk show due to having covid. Coming here is a complete waste of time. I'm not even sure he's a real doctor or just plays one on TV to be honest.

Dr. Foresman and his staff are outstanding. He has been 20 yrs ahead of the medical field with his understanding /knowledge of IBS and fibromyalgia. He is a teacher and Physician. UCLA is just catching up to him.

Dr. G and staff are knowledgeable, kind, and truly listen to - and answer - any and all questions I have. No matter how silly my questions may seem, I feel like I'm truly listened to and that they appreciate my curiosity. Also, if you haven't done so be sure to check out their supplement shop! They know their products and again, are happy to discuss any questions or concerns I might have. They've kept me and my family healthy for nearly a decade now! Love them!

If you choose to go here ask lots of questions and GET A SECOND OPINION. I was heartbroken over how my mom was guided during her time here. QUESTION EVERYTHING, talk to other professionals. Pay attention to what the agenda is of who you trust your health to. It's okay to hear what another doctor has to say. My best doctors have never discouraged me from asking about my health.
