I don't often go to see a Doctor but I had a need and this place got me an appointment VERY…read morequickly. I was extremely impressed with Dr. Fagan. His personality may be unique, but the man knows what he is doing, is "no-nonsense", cared about my health issues and let me know in no uncertain terms what he thought I should do next, who I should see and went WAY out of his way to get me an appointment the very next day with a top specialist in Los Angeles. He talks and moves fast but that also resulted in me being in and out of the place in short order while he managed several other patients who were there at the same time as me. The office staff was courteous and helpful. I saw no instances of rudeness claimed by other reviewers. I thought the clerical and nursing staff were all great. If you need a Doctor to hold your hand or listen to an exhaustive, time consuming, lengthy dissertation about your health issues to make you feel better this may not be the man; but, if you want an experienced, knowledgeable physician who values treating patients efficiently, professionally and effectively, I recommend Dr. Fagan.

During the call, she repeatedly asked for my name and basic information multiple times, even after I answered several times clearly. The conversation became very confusing, and instead of handling it professionally, she repeatedly said "oh my gosh," laughed during the call, and spoke to me in a rude tone. When she mentioned that my information was not on file, I explained that I was calling because I was a new patient. She responded by saying, "Well, you should've said that before." At that point, I expressed that I felt she was being rude and unprofessional and simply asked for the referral doctor's phone number instead. She then hung up on me. It's unfortunate that someone seeking medical help would be treated this way. Patients should be treated with patience, professionalism, and respect, especially during their first interaction with a medical office. Hanging up on a patient and making them feel mocked or dismissed is unacceptable.

No apologies. Guess they though!,,,,,that will shut her up. Besides they blew it off saying that the paperwork was not significant. I was furious and said some mean things for which I am sorry.They kept telling me that I should contact the hospital for more copies.

I just went in for a really bad rash on my armpit. The lady was nice until I gave her my name and she looked my account up. She rudely told me last time I was in my visit wasn't covered by insurance cause I was out of network so she's going to have to collect payment up front this time. I said my insurance is California so I am in network. So I called my mom to ask her and my mom is like no you're in network so I asked the lady what it said and she said "all I can tell you is what I have right in front of me and it says that it didn't get covered because you guys hadn't reached your deductible". Out of network and not reaching a deductible are two different things. I said that's fine and she rudely said "I need your credit card" so I handed her my credit card and she still had my ID, so I was waiting at the counter and she goes "umm take a seat" and I said "I'm waiting for my card back" and she said "I told you I need to make a copy of it" and I said "you need to make a copy of my credit card?" And she threw it back at me and goes "here's your card you're so worried about. I need to make a copy of your ID" and I just said "thank you" and went and sat down. After I got done filling out my paperwork I brought it up and then heard her and the other lady taking about me. They said they needed my insurance card again so I brought it to them then sat down. A few minutes later I was called up by another lady and she started talking to me like I was a 2 year old saying I needed to pay for my visit. I said "that's fine I already gave her my card to pay and she threw it back at me" then the other lady started telling me "I need to be an adult" and mocking me. And the other lady said "wow attitude". I said "yes I have an attitude because of the way you just treated me for no reason". While I was on the phone with my mom they both started calling me a child and said I needed to be an adult and grow up and all this stuff. Then the other lady hands me back my credit card and says "have fun at the emergency room. We won't be seeing you" and they both laughed. I am filing a report with the California State Health Board about this incident currently. Absolutely unacceptable. My family has lived here for 30 years and clearly she doesn't like us since she was extremely nice until I told her our last name. To be treated that way in a medical office is insane. As I just went to google to leave a review I see hundreds of posts saying they lie and tell you you're out of network to steal money. Avoid this place at all costs!

From Diet and exercise, to preventive maintenance. Recently found out he was an ER doctor for many years, which is nice to know in case I ever do have an emergency. I'm grateful to have Dr Maier and his staff, plan to stay as long as his practice is open. Lastly, even prescriptions are easy to refill, either by mail or in person at a local pharmacy. No complaints in all the years I've been a patient. He has a large patient base, but if you call and ask to be worked in if anyone cancels, you can usually be seen latwr that day by phone/video or within the week.

My biggest Shock was at the first of the year , (2024) When I walked into the office and one of his staff approached me and told me I had a balance due of $255! I immediately said What!?

His Accountant girl in the back said Oh, yes , that's your medicare deductible! ‍ In my entire life of being on Medicare never ever have I heard of this scam before! That day he ordered some labs, and a mammogram. And of course his office called me to come in so he could go over the mammogram, , and when I did , he literally sat down and said " well.... I guess, I'm supposed to go over this mammogram with you...." ‍‍‍ seriously! That took all of 3 minutes! The Best part is .. the Labs he ordered apparently Medicare didn't want to pay for..
