Apparently, you can only do one review and I wanted to let you know that the gentleman Fernandez…read morewas top-notch. He went above and beyond helping us. He was nice and courteous kept asking if we needed any more help and he was just amazing. I give him five stars! However, the facility gets zero stars; read my experience below On 6/18 I had an appointment to straighten out my Social Security card. It basically took me two days of calling to get this appointment .Once I got there, the guards were extremely rude asked me over and over again if I had an appointment. They asked me what the appointment was for they said well, we can't help you and we don't know why you're here. They wanted me out of there ASAP! I began to tell them that I spoke to someone on the phone and they were the ones who gave me the appointment for today! Anybody knows that you can't walk into the Social Security office and you have to make an appointment! I don't know why they think they're above the law. They're just rude. And they need to get over it. I would give this place a zero star, but that's not a choice. It wasn't until I got to the back and spoke to someone and he made me feel better. I'll give him a separate review, but for right now this place is getting a zero star Update: apparently I can't do two reviews, but Fernandez was amazing. He was so nice.

I called the main Social Security phone number and was told that the earliest appointment for us…read morewas late January 2026, but that we could drop off paperwork to the physical office. We stopped in last week and the office wasn't as busy as we remembered during prior visits. The guard told us that we could drop off our packet in the box and they'd get to it sometime in the future. It's disappointing that we can't walk in and wait to meet with a live person anymore. Street parking was readily available in front of the office.

I love the VA Gardena clinic. The staff is so friendly, hard working, and responsible. Dr. B runs…read morean amazing practice where everyone does their job with pride and is productive. If you ever need to call them, they will pick up and immediately tell you "please hold". But they do come back to you and help you. I think it's better than being in an endless automated loop where you don't know if anyone will be picking up or not. If you qualify for VA outpatient, I highly recommend this office if you're in the area.

The city of Gardena is one of the major cities in the South Bay or I guess Los Angeles or even…read moremaybe Harbor Gateway it lays along the borders of all. In my opinion there are good, ok and bad parts of Gardena. Back in the day parts of Gardena that were well known for all the Asian foods and places. When growing up I would go to all these places like the Gardena Buddhist Church, Meiji Market in Pacific Square now known as Tokyo Central along all these other stores and places that used to be in the square. Along Redondo Beach Bl there were some good places as well. Lots has changed all over Gardena but still a great city. Oh also the Gardena PD and Fire are on top of things as well even my classmate and friend was the Chief of Police. Overall I still will recommend visiting Pacific Square and all the places around the surrounding area such as Tozai Plaza off Western Ave and Redondo Beach Bl. There much more others but then this review will be a novel lol.

That last time I came here, the experience wasn't bad but not as good as my latest visit. It wasn't crowded and I didn't have an appointment. After checking in, my wait was maybe 10 minutes. I was called up, provided proof of residency, took mu picture and then completed testing (HazMat). I should receive my renewed license in approx. two weeks. Seamless process.
