In my too-many decades of life, has no Physician and Office Staff earned my trust in their…read moreknowledge, care and compassion for what is best for my ACTUAL welfare like Dr. Messina and his office has done. I used to have full coverage through motion, picture health and welfare benefits. When I was injured on the job, it forced me to take Medi-Cal and thus by me taking Medi-Cal I was fortunately, no I was blessed to be assigned to Dr Messina. And from the moment he got all my charts and files and reviewed and got up to speed, fully understanding the nigh-on irresponsibile care i had been receiving for almost 20 years from other doctors. He realized how poorly and over prescribed and just almost incompetently, I had been being treated for far too long by the doctors working at the motion picture health offices. Dr Messina is an old school doctor. He has no problems inviting you into his office and sit down and talk with you and he will take as long as he needs to explain something and he will tell you if he needs two hours it's gonna take two hours. He will not sugarcoat things, he will not give you what you want to hear just to get you out, and to his next patient. He absolutely WILL tell you exactly what is going on, and the truth, unfettered and not sugarcoated. If you need help understanding what he is saying, he will take as long as he needs to explain it to you in words that you can understand. But if you're looking for a "prescription pad" to write what YOU think you need or alternative medicine and doctor with hugs included. That's not him. This man has been doing it for 55 years. You count back 55 years and think about what he went through and what he has seen. I've talked to some of the people that know his background and the man is more than just a doctor. He really is concerned about healing. When he calls me in his office, the first thing I do is take my damn hat off, shake his hand and thank him for the time me made to see me, because he is honoring me with his time and care. Then on top of his abilities, Tina his a one woman office staff/manager/note taker/scheduler/referral coordinator/and honestly, I don't know enough about the medical industry to tell you what else she does, but I guarantee she does 10 more things that I don't even know about. But she somehow manages every single little detail with the utmost precision, efficacy and abject efficiency of any office full of 10 assistants. Whether you're a person of faith or not, all I can say is Dr Messina and Tina and their office might just be the greatest gift Gods ever given me.

He is the absolute best physician I have ever been a patient to. He has a stellar personality to where I actually look forward to doctors appointments. He is thorough, caring, up to date on new medical knowledge, and would do absolutely anything for you to make sure that you are well taken care of and healthy. He goes above and beyond by explaining any diagnosis, as well as how prescribed medications work; I always leave the office with a better understanding of my health care. The front office is always helpful as well, and quick to respond to any questions I may have. If you are new to the UCLA system, their online portal called MyChart for all of the health, appointment, billing, and reminder information is incredibly easy to use and very convenient. I would (and do!) recommend him to absolutely anyone.

I'm happy with the care and service provided, and also appreciate the network of specialists that they have referred me to, often in the same building. Since first becoming a patient, I've had two or three high deductible PPO insurance plans, all that have worked fine. They charge a $15 lab fee for shipping specimens to outside labs, which was explained up front and is reasonable. I also appreciate that they manage their office overhead by automatically charging my HSA credit card for under $100 balance due amounts, after first collecting from the insurance company and applying the insurance company's negotiated rates. This keeps their cost down and simplifies bill payment on my end. Some other reviewers take issue with this, but it's never bothered me. Overall great office for periodic medical care.

Otherwise it's the Physician Assistants. That was ok with me as I liked the PA I usually saw who was Jillian. She seemed to know when she needed to bring in the doctor and when she didn't. That being said, I was never very sick so she could pretty much handle everything. I am very sad that I have had to leave their practice. When you turn 65, I guess they feel they don't make enough money with what Medicare plus what your supplemental pays for a visit, so they charge you a flat fee EVERY YEAR just to be a part of the doctor's practice. $1500 extra per person, per year! Doesn't matter if you have great supplemental insurance (which we do). That's a lot of money and we couldn't afford the $3,000 a year. I guess it's the new thing and other doctors are doing it. But it's not for me. I am now at a wonderful doctor who is excellent and very happy to take Medicare plus my supplemental. He doesn't need for me to pay for him to have a much fancier lifestyle than what I have. He can drive a Prius just like me and it's ok with him. Maybe Dr. Bretsky doesn't want to do Geriatric Medicine and it's his way of thinning out the older patients. I get that. That's his choice. But then I'm not sure why the office acted surprised and a little disappointed that we weren't staying with the practice when I let them know. So if you're in you are creeping up on 65 and looking for a doctor, just be aware that a large fee per year will be looming in your future. If you're ok with this, then he's a great doctor and a very nice office.
