Dr. Schenkel, you are the best of the very best, and I'm so grateful to have found you here in West Hills. Your dedication, compassion, and professionalism make such a difference. Thank you for your outstanding service in the field of medicine. You are a truly valuable member of our community!

I have been a patient of Dr. M. Schenkel for four years. Recently, however, he has been…read moreconsistently at least 30 minutes late to appointments. When he arrives, he often seems unprepared. I have to remind him of my medical history. In addition, just a few minutes into the visit, the office manager, repeatedly knocks on the door, urging him to wrap up every five minutes so he can see the next patient. That said, the front desk staff are always nice and friendly, which makes checking in and interacting with the office pleasant. Experiencing a doctor who is frequently late, unprepared, and rushed feels unprofessional and leaves me concerned about the quality of my care.

Location 4 stars: In the trendy Village shopping complex in Woodland Hills, California, near…read moreCostco, on the second story of a building right above Tender Greens. Plenty of parking in the structure and the open lot behind it (free for the first 1.5 hours) but be prepared to walk a little since Costco customers keep the parking lot pretty full. For a much shorter walk, there is also a drop off location and paid Valet parking behind the building. Venue 4 stars: Beautiful building. Access via stairs on the side or an elevator behind the building. The lab which I visited has a separate entrance directly across the offices. Staff 4 stars: Most of my interaction was automated. Lab visits are walk-ins but you do need a referral from your UCLA doctor before you go. Once you enter, you sign in on a tablet and will then start getting text alerts on your phone. When you turn comes, the text will tell you which station to go to. Once you arrive at the station, you are greeted by a lab technician who logs you in and performs the necessary lab work. My lab technician was polite and efficient. Wait Time 4 stars: I am not sure if it is always this good, but I only waited 10 minutes. The Bottom Line 4 stars: A solid option in a pleasant and convenient location. Highly recommended!

I figured I would end up with an antibiotic and then be able to get on the plane. Everybody at this facility was so nice. They were courteous, kind, and professional. This included the receptionist, the medical assistant named Amy, and the doctor herself. Turns out I just had a severe wax build up. The doctor explained that I would need to have my ear washed out before she could even see what was going on in there. Amy the medical assistant came in, explained the entire procedure, and was very kind and gentle on me during the procedure. After everything was cleaned out and I had no infection. I was so grateful for their excellent work. This was so much better of an experience than my regular doctor's office. I will definitely be back for my urgent care needs.

Parking is easy, especially first thing in the morning. Check in is fast & smooth because I always do my paperwork in MyChart. Nurse Theresa took my vitals & was warm & sweet. Dr. Gregor is always detailed & thorough, and takes the time to answer any questions or concerns I have. He follows up my visits with detailed feedback in MyChart about my bloodwork results, and makes lifestyle, diet & supplement recommendations. Thankfully I haven't needed any prescription recommendations. After seeing him, I know that bloodwork always follows. This is THE most stressful part of an annual physical for me bc I am usually a challenging draw. So last year when phlebotomist Alex hit a winner vein the very first time, & gave me zero pain, you bet I remembered him. I was so relieved when I saw him in the testing area today! Just like last year, Alex got a winner vein in just one stick. He is the best! If you are a challenging blood draw, you will understand when I say it is the biggest relief when I know that the tubes are filling up fast & I don't have to be stuck a second or third time. Dr. Gregor & the office here make it pleasant to stay up to date on self care. I continue to highly recommend!

Unfortunately, I have experienced repeated issues, including: * Failure to return messages: Despite leaving multiple messages, Dr. Gregory does not respond in a timely manner, if at all. * Delays in addressing test results: I have consistently had to wait far too long for updates on important test results, causing unnecessary stress and uncertainty. * Neglecting prescription refills: There have been significant delays and oversights with my prescription refills, including my current situation with Wegovy, which has remained unresolved for over a month. This pattern of poor communication and lack of follow-through is unacceptable and does not align with the standard of care I expect from UCLA Health. I feel let down as a patient and am concerned about the impact this has had on my health and well-being.

I called them a few days ago as I recently got Medicare with a PPO supplement and I am looking for a new family doctor. Michelle left a message saying that they put both of us on a waiting list. I called back and asked why don't they just say outright that they do not want to take Medicare patients? Michelle interrupted by repeating my name several times and wouldn't let me talk or answer my question, I think it is reasonable to ask since we would be looking for another doctor if there was no chance ever to see Dr. Feher.

My son had his annual check up done and during the same visit he had his ear wax extracted. Annual check up is covered by insurance and because wax extraction isn't covered, they charged me for the procedure plus for the office visit even though everything was done in the first visit. Sounds like a scam to me. Also, the receptionist promised to fax me my son's blood results and when I called, I was told that it will be $25 and it's their new policy to charge for a copy.
