She said, "What!" in an arrogant tone after I displayed discomfort during the procedure. As if I should've been used to the specula and "active" so to speak. I'm surprised I didn't share my distress with her or the hospital afterwards. And although we communicated about all my results, due to her poor bedside manner I decided not to see her any longer.

He needed help with a DMV medical evaluation form -- something that requires a licensed provider to review and confirm basic medical information. The office/doctor refused to assist and offered no meaningful explanation or guidance. The interaction felt dismissive and showed very little regard for a patient who has been under their care for a few years. This experience has caused us to lose trust in this provider, and we will be moving his care elsewhere. Patients deserve support, especially when dealing with important legal and medical requirements.

She Listens, asks the right questions, addresses the issues of your concern, and has excellent relationships with many doctors, and knows what and where you may need to go next. Her staff is very kind also, and the office is clean, nice, and professional. I can't say enough about Dr. Arvan. I would recommend her to anyone.

She was rude to me as soon as I…read moretold her I recently saw a Naturopathic Doctor who diagnosed me with SIBO after having serious gut issues for two years. Dr. Arvan didn't review any of the paperwork I gave her which included recent lab reports, diagnosis and treatment plans, etc. She didn't ask me any questions about my health or how I was feeling. She was more worried about the natural supplements I was taking to treat SIBO not being FDA approved. I simply needed to get a physical exam done to qualify for a discount on my medical insurance but she refused to treat me because I'm seeing an ND as well. Are you kidding me? I'm taking things like calcium, multi vitamin, vitamin D, K, C. I'm also on HRT but she didn't like that either. How would she have any idea on my hormone levels without even looking at my lab results. What a waste of time. Seems she doesn't like her patients seeing anyone but MDs. However, I don't need any more prescription pills. All I needed was a simple physical exam. Unbelievable!

I've been going to Dr. Kim for a while to get my yearly check ups. She's always been nice,…read morepersonable, listens and seems to know what she's talking about. Trying to get an appointment is always difficult. She is usually booked up for months so I started booking my appointment the same time every year to guarantee a spot. This year I got a call saying they cancelled this year's appointment for some reason and I'd have to call to reschedule. I called (mid November) and was told she's booked all through March of next year. Good for her that she's so popular but I haven't seen anything from her that I can't get somewhere else. I'd like a doctor I don't have to wait months for.

I had blocked ears, impacted by earwax and could barely hear. I was in pain. I was told she could not see me and I would have to come back in one week. I asked a second time and she declined to see me. A front office ice cold person told me I could go to urgent care in Redondo Beach with no appointment. I asked again. Then I asked to see the manager, also cold. I had to tell the manager I was not in love with UCLA as an orthopedist at UCLA Santa Monica wanted to replace my right knee and it did not need to be totally replaced. I recently needed a colonoscopy and had FIVE that's 5 cancellations from UCLA. They tell everybody with huge tacky banners that UCLA is the BEST hospital in the west. Baloney. What about Stanford, UCSF, and Berkley. And Scripps. UCLA is NOT the #5 hospital in the country, no matter if US News and World Report said that once. I have been a very frequent patient of UCLA for 35 years. Probably a mistake. Dr. Kim is cold and hard with negative bedside manner. She must have gone to medical school at Rikers Island and done her residency at Sing Sing. I suggest you drive to their main campus in Westwood where you get treated with compassion, dignity and respect.

I've never had a problem with the doctors here, but at the same time, it's just another example of…read morea weak medical system. Things always feel slightly rushed; the nurses are trying to get your checkup over with and move on to the next person, the doctors are only there to validate or invalidate your health concerns. They take a brief look at you and you get a prescription, it's all very predictable. No time for meaningful discussion and no one is really going to sit down with you and figure out what's happening in a holistic sense. It's not their fault, it's just the way this works. You want info? Pay more... but chances are you'll hit another dead end at some point. Again, not specific to Optum, but truly disheartening. All this modern tech and AI nonsense, and the best we can do is a flashlight up your nose and an educated guess.

How to go from a former ***** Five Star Rating down to a * One Star Rating? ...and if I could…read moreassign a lower rating I would, honestly So, this is how you do it... LOSE YOUR HUMANITY AND REPLACE IT WITH TECHNOLOGY. Optim is HORRIBLE by the system. You call and are instandly placed into a IVR, interactive voice recording decision tree system... having to punch buttons over and over and over and over and over again and again and again. Then they decide to shuttle your call... one hour later, I'm still in limbo. I was originally sent to the Redondo Beach office, then they transfered me internally but never serviced me after 30+ minutes... then I hung up to start it over again and was sent to a another call center who then transferred me to the Northridge office instead of the Redondo Beach office to make an appointment... then I had to hang up and call again and was sent to a general call center, whether in the USA, India, Philippines or somewhere off-short, they were of zero help. They said they'd contact the Redondo Beach office to give me a call back. I have ZERO faith in their abilities and humanity on the call center level. The people who work in the office, starting from the front desk to all of the medial assistants and doctors are * * * * * Five Star, Great. What I truly hate about OPTIM is their migration towards technology which they're inept at handling properly. They keep pushing their APP / WEBSITE or PORTAL which is not user friendly, not intuitive and neglected, even by way of when contacting physicians and getting responses. I also truly HATE their phone system at Optim. I don't trust their Chat option, as Optim needs to improve the way they approach client services and customer care of the patients. Their calls go directly to what I think they call "Patient Support Services" which is not the local location of the service, so in my case, not in Redondo Beach. The way Optim approaches how they handle their customers, it inspires customers to seek care from another provider. I'm sure most large medical organizations all use technology and seek an organization who handles technology correctly. I predict the way Optim will approach A.I., Artificial Intelligence will be with a lack of human intelligence and reliance on automation and flawed. I hope they will read just how horrible their LACK OF QUALITY COMMUICATION skills and services are as I've seen many bad reviews that mimic and mirror my experiences and opinions. This is what happens when you let the machines take over.
