I saw Dr. Cedars for a persistent ear infection. She is easy to talk to, explains things well, discusses options and is thorough. One of the prescriptions was for an anti-fungal and CVS Pharmacy notified me that it was a $200 drug and would not be covered by my insurance. On their own they called Dr. Cedars to find a lower cost alternative. The next choice turned out to be a $280 drug (also not covered) and finally they got to one that was $20. I was surprised when Dr. Cedars phoned me to verify that I had obtained the drug and that I was getting better. I would highly recommend Dr. Cedars for her professionalism and caring approach.
