Peter Koenig, MD

I really regret the time I spent seeing Peter Koenig. I was gaining weight rapidly while maintaining great diet and exercise and Peter kept having me come back in months apart and saying that nothing was wrong with me even though I kept gaining more and more weight and insisted that it must be diet and exercise related. He said this even after I gained almost 25 lbs (which is a lot considering I started at 105) z As soon as I saw another doctor (the Sayana Medical center), the reasons for my weight gain were solved with a few supplements and I lost all the weight pretty quickly. His doctor put me through months of unnecessary frustration because he did not do his job well. I would highly recommend the Sayana Medical Center as an alternative. They honestly changed my life.

Dr Koenig has been my GP for over 15 years, and there is no one else I would ever trust over him. He is warm, friendly, funny, and very knowledgeable. He is always available if I have a question or problem, and always greets me with a smile. His staff is great, his nurse, etc, and it’s awesome to be able to come in & if I need xrays, blood, etc — I can get it all done right there! No need to be sent out of office for testing.
Unlike other Doctors who think they «know everything», Dr Koenig doesn’t pretend to know it all. (even though he pretty much does!) If he is not 100% sure about something, he has no problem sending you to a specialist, his top priority is for you to get the best possible care! He is awesome, I would (and have) recommend him very highly!
Thanks again Dr K!

I’ve been a patient for 5 years and I couldn’t be happier. The best care taker, straight to the point. You will love him too!

I was a patient of doctor Koenig for a few years. He seemed like a pleasant guy, but had some strange quirks that were noticeable from the first visit. I started seeing him as my endocrinologist, but he kept telling me I should make him my family doctor as well. When I mentioned other doctors I had either seen in the past or was currently seeing, he would always say «Oh, they’re not very good.» I could never understand his need to bad mouth other professionals. Eventually my family doctor retired and Koenig got his wish. All tests needed to be done in-​house. Outside labs could not be trusted. I learned that making money was definitely his priority. This became especially clear when I started suffering from heart palpitations. Koenig knew I was having financial problems at the time. Yet he ordered a lot of expensive tests that were not covered by insurance, without making me aware of the costs. When I wasn’t able to pay the bill in one lump sum, he would personally call me at home asking for the money. Every visit (he wanted to see me every three months even when I was healthy) became a discussion about the money. I’m glad I was finally able to pay him off.
For a long time I complained about testosterone related problems. No libido, no energy, erectile dysfunction. He would test for overall testosterone only, and when the results came back in the acceptable range he would tell me everything was okay. He never tested my free testosterone or SHBG — the next step for finding the source of my problems. If he had he would have discovered my free testosterone was low and my SHBG was off the charts. An unbelievable miss for an endocrinologist.
If you want a doctor who doesn’t listen to you, cares more about money that your health, snickers at your ideas, and believes all his contemporaries are idiots, Koenig is your guy. On the plus side he has a very well run office.

I know him for a very long time, maybe 20 years at least. I never had to wait, takes his time with me, the staff is perfect, down to business, well organized. He really takes care of me, I am on a couple of medications, so they make sure I show up every so on, to check how the medications effect me. His diagnosis’s were always perfect. I wish all doctors were like him.

Dr. Koenig is the most caring doctor I’ve had in a long time. Great bedside manner AND knows his stuff (he was a teaching doctor at, I believe, UCLA for many years). I came in for a minor infection and ended up making him my primary care physician. He really takes his time with you!

My friend recommended me to Doctor Keonig and I am forever grateful! He is my favorite doctor. His staff is equally wonderful. 5 stars all the way!
