    Dr Baars and her staff are tremendous. They are compassionate, honest, and direct. One of the best doctors I've had in my lifetime.

    Update: I wanted to come back and update my review because I've noticed a real improvement in my…read moreexperience with the office. Dr. Wadhwa has always been great. He's attentive, thorough, and caring, and I've always felt good about the internal medicine care I receive from him. My previous concerns were with the office experience, not with Dr. Wadhwa. More recently, my interactions with both the front desk and medical assistant have been much more positive. They've been helpful, courteous, and professional, and the overall experience feels noticeably better. I purposely waited before updating my review because I wanted to make sure I wasn't basing it on just one good visit. I'm glad to see the improvement and think it's only fair to acknowledge it

    I had a very disappointing experience with Dr. Wadhwa and will not be returning…read more From the start of the appointment, he repeatedly interrupted me while I was trying to explain my symptoms (lower back pain) and my recent urgent care visit. Before allowing me to finish, he dismissed my concerns and stated, "I'm not a back doctor, I can't help you." When I attempted to provide context, including a prior back injury and medical records I brought with me, he refused to review them and instead insisted--multiple times--that my pain was solely due to my weight. He did not examine me, ask follow-up questions, or consider my medical history. His tone was dismissive, and at times he appeared to roll his eyes when I tried to speak. When I shifted the conversation to the reason for my visit--discussing my treatment plan and medication (Mounjaro)--he again interrupted me and incorrectly insisted that the medication cost was $300. I explained that my pharmacy quoted $1,300 and offered to show proof, but he dismissed my input and continued to argue rather than listen. Throughout the visit, I felt talked over, disregarded, and disrespected. I left without my concerns being addressed and without any meaningful care or guidance. Patients deserve to be listened to and treated with respect--this experience did not meet that standard. I would not recommend this provider based on my experience.

When you call the office, your call is handled by a third-party answering service whose only function appears to be taking messages. If you need to speak directly with the office, it is nearly impossible, as they will not transfer your call to the appropriate staff member. More concerning was a recent experience involving my brother. He had an appointment and was evaluated by the doctor. During the visit, it felt as though I had to repeatedly provide information and guidance regarding his care. After the examination, my daughter, who accompanied us, immediately asked my brother to wash his hands because she noticed dried blood on the examination table where he had been sitting. This is completely unacceptable. Exam rooms and examination tables should be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between patients. The blood was clearly visible along the side of the table and should have been noticed when the paper covering was changed. It gave the impression that basic cleanliness and patient safety protocols were not being followed. I am extremely disappointed and disgusted by this experience. As a longtime UCLA patient, I expected a much higher standard of care, cleanliness, and attention to patient concerns. I sincerely hope this feedback is taken seriously and that steps are taken to improve both patient service and infection control practices.

The second test confirmed the first diagnosis, and she immediately referred me to an oncologist/hematologist. Further tests confirmed I have multiple myeloma and treatment was begun immediately.

I went to urgent care, but wanted to follow with my primary, Dr. Hardeep Chohan on Oct 24, 2025. I told her that in the morning I was crying in pain, but my symptoms had subsided after taking the muscle relaxers and pain meds I filled from the urgent care doctor the day prior. I was ashamed to say that I had put off my own health due to a hectic work schedule as the VP of a college, and hadn't been back for a physical or my blood work in nearly 2 years. Since I was there and meeting with her I asked if she could put in an order for me to do my bloodwork and she quickly shut me down. She said "Why are you talking about bloodwork and scheduling a physical? "You are here because of back pain". I was so taken aback by her tone and facial distain. I said to her "Why are you being so rude to me" I then explained to her that since I haven't been to her office in nearly two years I wanted to ask for an order for bloodwork and the last time I was there I asked for a colon cancer screening and the cologaurd never was sent to my house. She got even more furious when I said that the office hadn't sent my colon screening (2 years prior), and blamed me for not following up. I told her that I did call the office to let them know I hadn't received it, and nothing came of it. I once again questioned her tone and asked why she was being so dismissive and rude. She said, "You are rude and talking bad about the staff here". I really couldn't believe her behavior and did say that I was clearly going to have to find another doctor. She said "good" and "we are done here". She walked out. Honestly, it took me so long to write this because of how terrible this experience made me feel. I have a doctorate degree myself. I am an educated person but I was made to feel belittled by her. I can't even imagine someone who doesn't have the strength or education level to feel that they can advocate for themselves against someone like Hardeep Chohan. When I went into her office that day, I was concerned of how I had been feeling the past couple of days and scared considering my brother had a heart attack in his late 40s around the same age that I am now (this of course is all in my medical records that she has). I also had a bad blood panel two years prior and had to do diet changes and return in 4 months (also in my records). I do take personal responsibility that I haven't been back for my physical in 2 years, but this office never checks in or sends remembers and completely ignored my colon screening that was ordered two years prior. After I left that day, I felt terrible. Magically, my colon test came in the mail and I was telephoned from the front desk with my results a couple weeks later. I truly don't want anyone to have to be treated so poorly by a physician.

    As first time parents, you don't always know what you're looking for in a pediatrician, and…read moretruthfully, we chose this office because it was right next door to my OBGYN's office and 5 minutes from our home. We also went with Dr. Brucker since we have a baby boy (but we've seen Dr. Miller at TMMC after my delivery and once in clinic when Dr. Brucker was unavailable, and she's just as great!). We couldn't have gotten luckier with Dr. Brucker! He is so thorough, takes the time with each family (we never feel rushed through our appt), has great bedside manner, and meets the parents where they're at and what their values are. He works so naturally with our baby and we are so grateful to know our baby is in the most competent hands. I wish there was a Dr. Brucker for adults - I'd have him as my PCP in a heartbeat! Julissa, the MA, is always professional, organized, and warm with our baby. We can't say enough about the amazing care we get at this office!

He is what you wish every pediatrician were. He treats kids with so much compassion, and is even kind to stressed out moms with 400 questions. I'm a physician as well, and I am consistently humbled by his expertise each time we visit him. I have 2 girls who went through a really rough few years with Covid & POTS. They also have anxiety & ADHD. The older one also came out as trans. These are not straightforward healthy kids who go to see Dr. Brucker for just well-child checkups. Talk about the golden trifecta: physical, mental, and gender identity health issues. We were in the UCLA system for the longest time, which was excellent too, but transitioned to Dr. Brucker when our health insurance changed. He's been caring for my girls for about 2 or 3 yrs now. He has surpassed every other amazing pediatrician that has taken care of them. His attention to detail and keen vigilance are unmatched. He's probably the smartest doc they've had. And both girls are now thriving because of him. They are always sick duh, but this is the best their physical & mental health has been and their ability to function within their limitations has been. Thank you Dr. Brucker :)
