I have had a couple of bad doctor experiences recently with older, more close minded doctors who…read morerushed to push meds without even finding out what the real problem is. It can be hard to find a good doctor when you have an HMO and have to commit to a doctor before knowing their bedside manner, but I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised after my first appointment with Dr. O'Bryan. She took the time to make me feel like I was being listened to, she asked more questions than any doctor I have ever seen before, which made me feel like she was being very thorough. I highly recommend her and after just one appointment I can tell that we are a great match and I look forward to being under her care as a patient.

They were friendly, caring, and truly listened. Within 24 hours, I had referrals to specialists, and the whole experience felt warm and personal--like an old-fashioned doctor's office where you're not rushed, and you might even know some of the same people from the community. I especially appreciated that Dr. Hosseini has a phlebotomist on staff (David was excellent--quick and painless!), so I didn't have to make a separate trip to a lab for bloodwork. What stood out most was that Dr. Hosseini really listened. He took the time to understand my preferences, including my desire to start with lifestyle changes like diet and exercise before turning to medication. That kind of personalized care means a lot.

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 saw Dr. Wallis for a couple of years when he was still in Hermosa Beach. He has outstanding…read morecredentials and great reviews. Unfortunately it just didn't work out for me. At my first appointment he described himself as being a medical 'quarterback'. Not being a sports person, I'm not sure what he meant by it but I found him to be more of a middle manager. He'll take your vitals, order & review blood tests, prescribe some basic meds, but otherwise refers everything out. You don't even have to take off your clothes for any appointments - though this can be a plus if it's what you're looking for. My main issue is that he does not perform annual women's wellness exams. He will refer you to a Gyn. My prior doctor of 15 years & new doctor both regularly perform your annual women's wellness exam especially if pregnancy is not an issue unless you specifically request otherwise or have your own Gyn. For basic annual exams there's no real need for a specialist. My question is does he perform prostate exams on men & or is it just women's wellness he's not comfortable with? Because trust me, I don't like that exam very much either but it's a health necessity. If you're a women he may not be the right fit. He was very thorough in ordering lab test before your visit & taking vitals and reviewing them in great detail but he did not really leave time for addressing patient questions and concerns. By the time I got home I always felt that I didn't have a chance to discuss my concerns or he was dismissive of them. I always come in with a notepad to keep track of my doctor's comments & my questions. I did have one concern that I did a Telehealth appointment. He suggested I come in for a physical exam, which I did, but he never performed the physical exam. I was too embarrassed to ask. I came to Dr. Wallis when my primary care doctor of 15 years moved her practice too far. He came highly recommended. I was contemplating another doctor but chose Dr. Wallis on their recommendation. His concierge service was not feasible so I moved to another doctor who is a good fit.

Dr. Sun is excellent. Thoughtful, attentive, easy to talk to and the kind of doctor who makes you…read morefeel like there is a human being on the other side of the conversation. I have no complaints about him whatsoever. I'll continue seeing him. The strange part is everything surrounding him. The front desk experience has been wildly inconsistent. One person has always been genuinely kind and helpful. A couple of the others have the particular energy of people who seem inconvenienced by the existence of patients. Not rude enough to create a scene, just dismissive enough to make you wonder why healthcare reception so often feels like an underfunded DMV with worse lighting. My first intake experience wasn't much better. The staff member seemed rushed, barely engaged and somehow managed to record my height incorrectly while I wasn't even standing fully upright. The blood pressure check felt similarly mechanical and abrupt. These sound like small things until you remember that these are the measurements physicians are using to make decisions about your health. Details matter. The nurse who handled my vaccinations afterward was much warmer and more personable, which I appreciated, but the process itself felt surprisingly improvised. Supplies were forgotten, there was visible uncertainty about what was being given and there were several little "oops, forgot this" moments. Nothing bad ultimately happened, but when needles and medication are involved, you want boring competence. You want the ritual to feel practiced. That's really the frustration here. There is a very good doctor inside an experience that doesn't consistently rise to his level. Healthcare is already intimate, expensive and stressful enough. The parts around the medicine matter too. The greeting, the measurements, the handoff, the confidence that everyone knows what happens next. Dr. Sun gets my trust. I just wish the operation around him felt as considered as the care he provides.

I walked into my appointment with Dr. Gena Craemer feeling intense anxiety and overwhelm, and…read morewalked out feeling heard, reassured, and genuinely cared for--which is something I don't take lightly. She took the time to listen to every single concern, never rushed me, and made sure I felt understood. She went above and beyond by ordering tests to make sure I was truly okay, giving me a level of reassurance I really needed. What truly amazed me is that she even searched for medications my insurance would cover to save me money--who does that anymore?! That level of care and consideration is rare. And the kindness didn't stop there--the nurse (I didn't catch her name, but I loved hearing she's an owl fan!) was so warm, friendly, and attentive, which made such a difference when I was feeling so anxious. You can feel the genuine compassion and heart from everyone in this office. I honestly feel so lucky to have found Dr. Craemer--she turned what could have been a stressful experience into one where I felt safe and supported. Absolute gem.

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.
