Myles Spar, MD

I’ve seen several doctors over my life, some good some bad. I must say Dr. Spar is an excellent physician. His bedside manners are second to none. He is genuinely concerned with your healthcare and well-​being. He is receptive to all your questions and concerns and will attempt to address every issue you have directly.
I had seen him at the Venice Family Clinic with symptoms of a lingering chronic cough and after a few visits he was able to correctly diagnose the condition and currently, with the proper medication, the issue seems resolved. Unfortunately, he has moved on to private practice elsewhere but the current doctor that has taken over in his stead seems equally skilled. I believe Dr. Spar made a concerted effort to leave his patients in the best hands possible as he made this transition. A sign of a doctor who truly cares for all his patients.
On a further note, I had noticed an overall professionalism and kindness at this clinic; from the receptionist, to the nurses, and doctors. A standard of care set by the example Dr. Spar exuded through his strong work ethic and sincere patient interaction.
If you are fortunate to have Dr. Spar as your primary care physician, rest assured you will have a competent, seasoned doctor who will advocate for your healthcare needs, not a guarantee… even in the field of medicine.

I know a lot of doctors, and of course being a bit of a hypochondriac, I’ve seen a lot of doctors. Dr. Spar is one of the most amazing health care professionals I’ve come across. He’s very kind, and very very very smart. He’s patient and puts in the time and effort to make you feel like you’re being taken care of. His staff is sweet, professional and pretty cool. You can tell how awesome he is just by the way he treats his staff.
I talk a lot and ask a lot of stupid questions, and he takes the time to answer all my stupid questions, and come up with solutions for them. His web based platform makes it easy to email him questions, fill prescriptions without the paperwork or having to go to the pharmacy, make appointments, etc.
He’s not here to rip you off or waste your time. He knows the answers and he’s here to give them to you. He really just wants to help. He’s awesome.
P. S. I don’t usually write Unilocal reviews. I’m just so happy I finally found a smart doctor that actually cares.

Would have loved to seen Dr. Spar but the admin wouldn’t allow me to.
When asked for a reason for my visit, I explained it and the admin responded that that counted as an urgent issue and that the doctor could see me immediately. I’m not sure what counts as an urgent issue, in their minds, but great – at least, that’s what I thought.
The admin then started asking for personal details (date of birth, etc.) to get me registered, I interjected and asked her if they take insurance. She then paused and asked me if I was an existing or a new patient, to which I responded, «new.» «That changes everything, she retorted.
She then said she could get me in to see a Physician Assistant about a week from the day that I called her (which is a strange time to expect someone to adhere to who has an issue that you’ve prevously declared as urgent). When I asked why I couldn’t see Dr. Spar (or any of the other doctors at the clinic, for that matter), she stated that they prioritize appointments based on new/​existing patients, and that new patients get a longer time allotment depending on the issue, and that she couldn’t fit me in with an MD until 3 – 4 weeks later. Well, when I first told you what my issue was, you didn’t seem to think time would be an issue, sweetie, so this just all sounds really shady and that you’re prioritizing certain patients over others in order to maximize revenue.
I’d completely understand if the MDs were all booked for the day, since I was trying to make a day-​of appointment, but when you first tell me that you can fit me in, and then later retract your statement when I mention that I’m a new patient, you just make you and your clinic look really shady; and frankly, not one that I’d trust to handle my physical concerns with the utmost confidence and comfort.
Unless you want to be treated like a bank and not a patient, I’d suggest all look elsewhere for their medical needs.

Dr. Spar is not my assigned physician, but I was able to get in there for a visit when Dr. Rodriguez was on vacation. This is at the Sunset location in West Hollywood. My visit with him was very pleasant and a very comfortable experience. He’s friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. I’ve met some terrible doctors out there who can’t communicate to save their lives, in turn making it a terribly awkward visit. He’s definitely not one of those. Highly recommended!

Dr. Spar is a great doctor. Saw him for the first time last week and totally loved him. He patiently listened to all my complaints and concerns… took his time to look at past medical history and asked me questions, like a good doctor would… Very knowledgable and pleasant… the kind of doc that will never over prescribe nor mindlessly run blood test. Looking for a good doc? Go to Dr. Spar !!

My experience with Dr. Spar was great! I really like this office a lot and I have found my new primary care doctor in Dr Spar. He is very personable and seemed to really listen to what I needed. I went in for a physical and he took his time to listen and I didn’t feel rushed at all. He’s an awesome doctor and I would recommend him to anyone!
FYI:
They have parking under the building, it is paid parking, valet, not too expensive. Of course you have the choice to park in the surrounding area. Great office!

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Spar. He really took the time to get to know me and talk to me rather than rushing through the appointment. He followed up about me blood work very quickly after the appointment via email. I had an excellent experience!

Dr. Spar is a fabulous Dr. I have only been with him a few years and think he is just great. His knowledge of the human body and finding healthy ways to stay healthy makes him stand out. Nutrition and exercise are his main methods of keeping his patients healthy and only resorts to medication when necessary. His holistic approach to health and life in general makes him a gem of a doctor. He actually listens to you when you discuss your health– makes eye contact and is one doctor that does care about his patients and a great deal!!! He is motivated by health– not the almighty dollar!!! He is as good as it gets!!!

Dr. Spar is the kind of Doctor that SPENDS TIME WITH YOU… he really cares about your health, and cares about you as a human being. I can’t recommend him enough. He’s a lovely person and his knowledge of all aspects of health, disease, and illness is always impressive. He will recommend both eastern and western approaches. And he seems to keep up with the medical journals and new innovative approaches.

It was my first visit with Dr Spar in his office on Sunset Blvd. everything was professional and of the very highest caliber. The waiting room is calm, the front desk staff friendly and helpful and the nurses kind and efficient. Dr. Spar is the best doctor I have ever had. I’m really in great hands.

If your looking for a doctor that educates, is informative and allows interaction, Dr. Spar is right for you.
All too often doctors can be judgmental and pushy, but I really feel like we’ve found the right doctor for us. We have conversation during our appointments and I never feel lectured.
We are excited to finally have a doctor we can trust.
We look forward to many years ahead.

Dr. Spar is amazing. His whole office staff is wonderful. He genuinely cares about the health and well-​being of his patients. He takes his time and is very thorough. What a gem!

I have to agree with the other reviewer. Dr. Spar was quite impressive on every level.
Here are a few of the things that stood out to me during my initial visit:
1) The staff was genuinely raving about him, so that already tells you quite a bit about his personality and abilities. BTW, the staff was extremely welcoming, too.
2) I have a complex medical history, talk a mile a minute, and am often all over the place when discussing physical issues (non sequiturs galore), but he listened very patiently and carefully to me. I’m sure a lot of doctors just zone out when I talk, and sometimes I wouldn’t blame them, but Dr. Spar asked pertinent questions and had input on/​advice regarding many things I said, which really showed his level of interest and ability to absorb information quickly. I stress GOOD LISTENER. The office was rather busy the day of my appt., yet I didn’t feel rushed at all. He has a calm demeanor and spent more than enough time with me.
3) He was very respectful, with a warm bedside manner. That almost seems rare these days! A class act.
4) His credentials are clearly very impressive, but he was humble and seemed open to ideas (IMHO, another sign of high intelligence, both «regular» and emotional), and you’ve got to love the «integrative» aspect to his practice as well.
5) He talks to you (not AT you) on a human level. He gave me some good tips on how to better adapt to Los Angeles. And like Robert C. said, he actually asked what he can do for me.
Strongly recommended.

Whew! After searching for a good doctor to take care of my special needs, I finally found Dr. Spar. Starting with the front desk, Tyler (who checked me in) was as nice as nice can get and made me feel extremely comfortable on my first visit. Once in the room with Dr. Spar, we went over my history, medications, etc, and he spent a fair amount of time getting to know me and my requirements as a new patient. After our visit I knew I had found my new doctor. I’m looking forward to my next visit. and by the way, did I mention how nice the office and staff are? Awesome, awesome, awesome!
