I recently stayed overnight for a sleep test at the Center and had a very positive experience…read more At first I was a bit hesitant and nervous and even rescheduled once due to Covid-19 safety issues concerns. However, after talking to Patrick on the phone, he put me at ease and explained in great detail at what lengths they go to ensure the safety and well-being of their patients. The center works almost like a hotel. I checked in right after dinner and was assigned a room with a queen size bed, a TV and a sink. They even had complimentary Wi-Fi. It did get me some time to adjust to the many cameras on every corner of the room - it feels a bit like Brig Brother is watching you, but after I turned off the light, it was OK. After the check-in you are asked to change into your sleep clothes and use the restroom one final time before they start putting a lot of cables all over your body. The sleep technologist is always available should you need to get up during the night. As a result, it is very difficult to sleep, I was very much conscious that if I tried to turn I might have unhooked some of them so I did not feel 100% relaxed. The check out is at around 5 am. Their staff is super professional and they have all been part of the team for many, many years. The facility is spotless clean.

An excellent surgery center! I had foot surgery here for plantar fasciitis about two months ago…read more I've been meaning to leave this review since because of how great the facility and the staff are. Dr. Zickuhr with Torrance Memorial is the best orthopedic/podiatrist! I just had my last appointment with her today. I am very grateful for Dr. Zickuhr. I am pain-free all thanks to her. She is truly the best! Everyone at the surgery center went above and beyond. Receptionist Luz was very helpful and welcoming. My pre-op nurses were Tonya and Mary. They are the best! They helped me calm down before the operation and made me feel at ease and gave me tips to make my heart rate slow down with the breathing exercises they taught me. Tonya was also my post-op nurse and made everything so easy and helped me into the car to go home. My time there flew by! Felt like I was there for 15 minutes. Anesthesiologist Dr Gelman is very experienced and easy to talk to. He makes you feel calm and communicates well. And my OR nurse was Thuy. She was so kind and went over all the steps with me to make me feel less stressed. Everyone smiles here. You don't see that in most surgery centers and unfortunately I've had my share of surgeries. Highly recommend this place to anyone that is in need of medical procedures. And the center is very clean! Thank you to everyone mentioned above! -Levi

He is the most knowledgeable eye specialist you will find around. Every time I go in with my dad, everyone is so nice and accommodating. The most recent time we worked with Roman and Karsten.

The quality of medical care is exceptional! The techs in the back are wonderful as well. The front desk and check out staff do not reflect the medical team in a positive manner. Some of the front desk staff are disrespectful and dismissive. They do NOT acknowledge you standing at the desk. I have experienced this on many previous appointments but, today was the last time I would accept their behavior. I walked up to the desk and waited to be acknowledged. One woman was staring at the computer. She answered the phone once during the time I was standing there, she immediately placed the caller on hold. She was not typing. She must have been reading something. Or just ignoring me. Still never acknowledging me. The other two women had a patient in front of them. Neither one of them said anything, which is somewhat understandable. A simple, we will be right with you, from any of them, would have been great! After not being seen I asked if anyone could tell me where I was in the que. The woman looking at her computer never looked at me. One of the other ladies spoke up and checked the status for me. No one wears a name tag so no one is accountable.

Dr. Eltawil was professional but his staff is incompetent or maybe over worked? Wanting to make a…read morefollow up appointment after a sleep study, I called 3 times over the span of 3 weeks, leaving detailed messages with no returned call. I finally drove to the office and made an appointment in person. When I mentioned this to Dr. Etawil, who is after all on some level responsible for his staff, he said the office supervisor would call. That was a month ago and I have not heard from them. A doctor with an incompetent or at best, a poorly trained staff, is not a doctor I'll trust going forward with my health.

My husband snored so loud that I had to put him in a different room. After Dr. Grin fitted him for a specialized mouth guard; I barely hear him now!

It's been a wonderful experience with Dr. (Paul) Grin and his staff…read more My left side jaw has been partially locked since December 2024. I've been living with TMJ pain, discomfort, sleep apnea, and bruxism for the last 10-15 years. These have been an on and off recurring problems for me, but I finally sought professional help. Dr. Grin helped me set up a plan to get past all of it. Today, about 6 months after my first appointment, I've regained a few millimeters of jaw movement. Baby steps, but I doubt I would have gotten anywhere on my own. I sleep better and more restfully than any time in recent memory. I'm grateful for everything Dr. Grin and his staff have done for me! As for the logistical stuff, it's been fantastic. Appointments are easy to make and time slots are readily available. Maybe time slots 2-3 weeks out is the norm to expect here. Never had to wait more than 5 minutes to be seen. Appointments are never rushed. That is probably one of the best aspects of being a patient here. You can ask all the questions you want and Dr. Grin brings a very friendly and natural bedside manner to address all of it. It's actually important to remember that a lot of this TMJ stuff does not have any quick fixes, so long term treatment plans and lifestyle changes do matter. Plenty of parking in the lot, although easy to miss if you're driving too fast on Torrance Blvd.

The only thing I don't like is how much it costs :-)

Completely unimpressed with this doctors office. The office…read moredid not seem very clean. It was in an old building that was probably built in the 60's, therefore was very dilapidated inside. The equipment in the patient rooms looked like it was from World War II... The front desk customer service was abysmal. The woman working there was doing the work of 3 people and when she finally gave me my paperwork for the testing they wanted to do, she barked the instructions at me so fast I had to ask 3 times what certain things meant... Needless to say I will not be back for anything else from this doctors office. Get it together people!

Dr Baker and his assistant Lore could not be nicer. I was fitted for an oral appliance by Dr Baker…read moreand after a few weeks it arrived custom made. It took a few visits to tweak it exactly right which is normal but I have noticed a significant reduction in my snoring and overall I feel so much better. I downloaded the app the dr recommended to record the snoring at night and it is SO MUCH better. I am not perfect but it is significantly better. The device is super easy to put in your mouth and I have no issue with that at all. I highly recommend Dr Baker.....you could not find a doctor more caring or knowledgeable and patient willing to listen and work with you and sincerely cares. If you call their office I guarantee your making the right call and your sleep and snoring both will be SO MUCH IMPROVED. Mark G

A friend of mine was referred to Dr. Baker's office regarding an oral appliance to help with his…read moresleep apnea. Dr. Baker shared a book, of which he has copies in his office, called "Sleep Smarter" by Shawn Stevenson. My friend read it and recommended it to me as well. I do not have sleep apnea but I skimmed through the book and found myself reading it over a weekend! I found the information very easy to read and to understand. I learned that I took "sleep" for granted and I came to realize how not getting "good sleep" effects so many different areas of good health and happiness. Sleep Smarter discusses how nutrition, exercise, and "getting ready for sleep" plays such a vital part in being your best everyday when you wake up! I am so thankful that my friend is seeing Dr. Baker because he is more than just an oral appliance provider. Dr. Baker educates his patients on making lifestyle changes towards overall well being.
