As someone who has been a near full-time patient throughout my adult life, what I can say about…read morethis location is that the lab is amazing, their phlebotomists are always kind and considerate beyond measure, it's efficient, clean and usually tons of space in the waiting room. Parking wise you have to go to the ralphs or target down the street and come back and buy something to validate your parking- but that's probably the most annoying part of this location. I have to give a special shoutout to the best primary care physician I've had in my adult life who happens to work at this location. Dr. Elizabeth Asfaw is everything a person could ever want in a doctor. She knows her stuff, she listens, she advocates for patients- she is so unbelievably human in her interactions. I never feel dismissed or like I'm walking on egg shells. She listens and cares about my individual symptoms - not just some "standardized template" so many other doctors seem to get defensive about when asked about trying different approaches. She has gone above and beyond for me for years, and I owe her everything for the headaches she has saved me. I never have to over-explain myself. Thank you Dr. Asfaw for being an absolutely amazing doctor- I wish they all could be like you!

Whatever you do, do not get blood testing done from your doctor in room 245. They will charge your…read moreinsurer thousands, and if anything isn't covered, you're stuck with a massive bill for tests you could've paid $20 cash for at a Quest lab. UCLA charges this much because they actually don't want people to be able to pay. That empowers them to write off the "losses" to maintain their non-profit and tax advantaged status, while profiting handsomely off insurance. My insurance paid nearly $600 for only a few blood tests, while Function health tests for 10x more for $365 (or simply pay cash for the tests at Quest). UCLA is now charging me $700 for what insurance didn't cover. The whole US medical system is a joke, where hospitals and insurers profit and people suffer. Unfortunately, UCLA is complicit in it even more than the for profit lab corporations.

This is one of the rare times I decided to write a review and I'm posting it here and on Google!…read moreI had to go to Immediate care in Santa Monica a few weeks ago and that is when I met Dr. Ryan Aronin. It is SO rare these days to meet a doctor that not only has a genuine interest in your health but one that is working nights at an Urgent Care facility. I had to take a few tests and I just assumed I would have to chase down and follow up to get my results. To my surprise Dr. Aronin himself called me a few hours later to tell me the results. WHAT?!? NEVER has a doctor called me the same day to give my results and suggest further treatment. I was completely taken aback. Not to mention the efficiency that my messages were replied to and referrals that I needed were address and sent out. I wanted Dr. Aronin to be my PCP however sadly he is not taking on any new patients at this time. So so sad as this by far is THE best doctor I have come to know in my 60 years. To feel heard, taken care of and a level of stress that is eliminated because of his attention, level of care and communication to his patients. I do hope someday I will be able to call him my doctor. Thank you

My appointment with Dr. Ryan Aronin was at 12pm. A scooter accident around the corner from the UCLA…read morecampus office blocked the street with police and an ambulance, so I texted the office at 12:14 to let them know I'd be late. The staff was already aware of the accident. When I arrived at the front desk to check in, Dr. Aronin refused to see me and told me to reschedule. A few minutes' delay for a documented emergency outside his own office, communicated in advance, wasn't enough to earn any flexibility. I'll be finding a new primary care physician, and I'd suggest anyone who values a doctor with basic grace for his patients do the same.

I have been morphing to a vegan diet, so I brought her the book I'm reading "Eat to Live" by Dr. Joel Furhman, and she was fine with me continuing the food plan, and said she will peruse the book and monitor my progress. She sent me up to the 3rd floor for the blood work, very easy in this wing of the medical center. There was only one person waiting so I got in and out right away. UCLA Medical Center is the most practical and convenient medical practice I have ever been exposed to. When you're in their system, anywhere you go they can pull up all your records and see what's going on. And they usually send you a follow-up review request so you can let UCLA know how you liked your visit. The only unfortunate issue in this visit had nothing to do with the medical center and that was that my appt happened to be on the day after there was an underground explosion on Westwood Blvd., and the entire intersection by the medical center was closed! Luckily I know how to cut through the university so was only delayed a few minutes. Talk about your news trucks all over the place! UCLA Medical, you rock!

This is my new doctor (internist). I've only seen her once, but I really liked her and was…read moreimpressed with the amount of time she spent with me and with her thoroughness (although a recent article in the NY Times has me questioning whether thoroughness is such a good thing: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/11/health/views/11essa.html?ex=1363060800&en=0f55c1ae184eae47&ei=5124&partner=permalink&exprod=permalink). Anyway, I appreciated Dr. Alice Agzarian's candor, and feel relieved that I selected her on the basis of a recommendation of some random stranger in line with me at the Costco Pharmacy to be my primary care physician for the purpose of my HMO. During my visit with Dr. Agzarian, I interacted with several of her staff members, all of whom I found to be really pleasant. And I only spent a few minutes in waiting, bonus! One note: Dr. Agzarian does not prescribe birth control, which is fine, as I've always had that taken care of by my lady-specialists. But if you like your GP to handle your non-baby needs, she's not the one for you.

I…read morehave been seeing her consistently for about a year now and I cannot say enough good things about her bedside manner and high level of care she provides. Although her office is ALWAYS running late (usually 30-45 minutes behind), I continue to come because Dr. Mangione listens at every appointment, never rushes me, and never dismisses my concerns about this problem or that problem. She remembered once that I mentioned I was a vegetarian and the next visit gave me a few names of cookbooks she had researched so I could make sure I was getting proper nutrition. Dr. Mangione is also gay friendly which is a big relief coming from the Midwest where doctors are not. She doesn't try to push medication on you and instead looks at the whole picture to figure out what's wrong. I would highly recommend.
