If I could give less than one star I would - Don't waste your time. The women doesn't give a shit about anyones well being. She's just going through the motions. It was a waste of my time the second she walked into the examination room. The experience felt like I was almost begging her to help me. She never followed up which was the best part of my visit. Finding a good doctor in the state of the healthcare system today is hard enough. This lady should bow out the medical field and pursue something that displays her strengths. Like coal mining or driving a taxi. Thanks for nothing when I could have used some help. read more

I really like that she takes the time to discuss things with me. I do not feel that I am at a cattle call, she takes the time to talk with me and not rush me out. I also like that she is not trying to push medication on you. My cholesterol is borderline and she tells me to exercise and eat right. the last doctor immediately wanted to put me on medicine. Will continue seeing Dr. MacLeod and refer to her to my friends read more

I am still a patient of Dr. MacLeod and I still continue to enjoy excellent care from her. Her office staff is helpful and kind. It's also very convenient that she is located next to the urgent care as well. I have used their services and they were fantastic. What I love about Dr. MacLeod is that she really listens to you during your visit and makes you feel very comfortable. I also love that she does well woman check ups as well so I don't have to go to a separate doctor for that and can get it done with my yearly physical. I have been her patient for nine years now and her service is always excellent. read more

I'd give this zero star and a middle finger. Why would their questionnaire ask if I was born in the US?!?!?!?!? This line of questionning is offensive. I am not going to patronize a doctor who would require that their new patients are asked that kind of question!!! read more

Firstly - the office is very clean. They provide masks and hand sanitizer too! Liz was very professional at the front desk and then Miriam took al of my vitals. She was very sweet and efficient- listening carefully. She signed me up to the online chart system and made sure that my seat was comfortable knowing that I was having a foot issue. Later on she returned to take my blood which she did painlessly (and I'm a BIG baby)!!! And then the awesome Dr. MacLeod! She listened attentively to my history, eating habits, family history and current issues - and then did an exam. She took her time to have clarity before making her assessment. She was friendly, kind and very compassionate. I felt SAFE. Taken care of! I am so pleased by this experience and am looking forward to seeing my results through my app and solving my health problems quickly!!! This practice is a wonderful South Bay gem. I highly recommend them. read more

Don't waste your time and money on Macleod !!! she didn't even notice ( or cared ) about a test result for a very high blood potassium level which is super dangerous !!! So glad I got a second opinion ! Wish I could give her a zero ! read more

Dr. Macleod is awesome! I have been going to Dr. Macleod for about 12 - 13 years now, as well as my wife and we love her. We have recommended our friends over the years and they have also never left. Miriam who has also been with Dr. Macleod this entire time is like a best friend; she and Dr. Macleod have been great to us and we have seen our health get better each year because of their care, advise and support. We highly recommend Dr. Macleod and her staff. Thanks, John Riley read more

Negative reviews here come from before she switched to SignatureMD service, and she was getting a pretty bad squeeze-play from insurance companies. Alas, these reviews are accurate. Now, you must chuck out monthly payments (not covered by insurance) to book a visit. You're basically paying her to keep patient counts low and insurance bureaucracy off her ass. It's a completely different experience. After 5+ years of being Dr Macleod's patient, where the last 2 were under SignatureMD, I felt for once that my health mattered more than insurance policies or busy doctor schedules. I never waited for appointments. Paying for SignatureMD is well worth the money, as my health is worth every dime. Ideally, all health care should be this good. read more

I saw Dr. MacLeod about 2 years ago for a pap exam. I really liked her style. She was very easy to talk to and called me with the results. I did not go for my annual pap last year because I was unemployed and without insurance. Struggling financially, I could not afford luxuries like a pap exam. I finally found employment and benefits. The first thing I did when I got my health plan was to check to be sure Dr. MacLeod was in network. To my joy she was. I immediately called to arrange for an appointment to have my pap and was greeted with what can only be described as the used car sales approach. I said "yes I'd like to schedule my pap, I didn't have one last year and I am overdue". The "sales rep" which is the only way to describe her says "when did you last have a full physical" I said "well about 2 yrs ago. I have a family doctor, you know Dr.______" My doctor is well known in the area. She continues with the high pressure. I tell her "well when I come in for the pap, I can discuss it with the doctor, but right now, I need the pap". She makes the appointment. I arrive at the scheduled time. No one else is in the office except for the staff. I'm thinking I must be the first appointment of the day. I give the assistant my new medical insurance card and she takes a copy, but holds onto my card. For the next 20 mins she is on the phone I guess calling my insurance. Asking detailed questions about payments, what's covered. Meanwhile, there is nothing to read except for outdated Sports Illustrated magazines and numerous point of sale displays for weight loss medication and wrinkle repair creams. I am always suspicious of a doctor who sells such products when the staff looks like they have never used them, if you know what I mean. Finally I am summoned to the window where my co-pay is demanded and my card is finally returned. I wait another 10-15 mins, why I do not know as there is only me and the staff. What am I waiting for? I am called eventually. I am weighed. My blood pressure is taken and then I am asked "what brings you here today". GOD do I hate that. Don't you know??? I am sure appointments and the time allotted for them are based on why the patient is there, so why do they always ask?? I can see there is a checklist already attached to my chart she is holding where the medical biller has already checked off "why I am there" so that NO billing is missed. I tell her I am there for a pap exam. She looks at the chart and says "oh, we don't have you down for that. It's only blood work today" OKAY...so if you knew that why did you ask "what brings you here today". I tell her I made an appointment for a pap exam. She says "well let me check with the doctor to see if he has any time because we don't have that scheduled" She returns a few seconds later and says "sorry we already have 2 paps scheduled today, the doctor will not have time" WTF?? How much time is needed to do blood work and other testing versus a pap exam? Seems like about the same amount of time to me. Anyway....I decide I will have to leave. I will say when I made the appointment, I was told Dr. MacLeod was on an "extended leave" not sure what all that is about. With her being absent, it might explain why the office isn't being run as it was 2 yrs ago. I hope Dr. MacLeod is okay and it is not anything serious. I wish her the best but until she returns...don't think I will be scheduling anything at her office. Anyone know a good gynecologist in the South Bay/Torrance area? read more

I read the negative reviews and was suprised as I had a different experience. I've been there twice and was treated very nicely by the doctor and I did not have to wait to be seen. She is under a different type of provider plan, which allows her more time with the patients. She was attentive, and responded to my issues by running the correct battery of tests, and then consulting with me on the results. I felt the meds she prescribed were correct, and she listened to my concerns about the type of medication and tailored the plan to that. Not sure if she's made changes since the last reviews were posted in 2007/2008 - but my appointments were both in 2009 and those issues seemed to be fixed. read more

I have been going to Dr. Renee MacLeod for years and I have to say, she only gets better! Her and her entire staff consistently go above and beyond in providing excellent health care. I've had some significant issues with ineffective medications, finding the right ones and my insurance covering them. Through it all, Dr. MacLeod was always patient, compassionate and understanding. She never gave up on assisting me until I reached the optimal solution. I will be forever grateful for her commitment and passion for her patients. Thank you! read more

Yelp is correct about Dr. MacLeod, "Eek! Methinks not!" Her demeanor is very uninterested in patient health concerns and is extremely arrogant. Always questions your view of symptoms and responses with a demeaning comment. Leaves patients untreated and confounded. Her staff at the front desk has been very quick and professional. However, when you walk through the doors to the patient rooms, the environment and personnel drastically changes. The nurses are indifferent and make you wait a long time to get your blood drawn, which is a painful experience. The nurses that draw your blood are amateurish and need to go back to school to relearn how to draw blood. From a reliable source, they attempted to draw blood but instead making it feel like as though they had taken a scalpel to the biceps tendon. As that sounds, it created excruciating amount of pain. Forcing the patient the demand the nurse to stop. So, I would never recommend anyone to come here. They would not receive the care that is expected from a medical professional. read more

I have been going to Dr. MacLeod since I moved to California in 2001. A couple of years ago I decided to change my teenager daughter over from her childhood pediatrician to Dr. MacLeod. The first appointment went very well but when I called today for an appointment, I was told that the Dr. is no longer my daughter's Dr. because she doesn't see anyone under 18. Since when? She is still listed with my insurance as my family Dr. The receptionist was so rude and argued with me and insisted that my daughter was not seen by the Dr. before except in Urgent Care. My daughter has never been to urgent care but the receptionist insisted she was right. I asked if I could speak to the Dr. but the receptionist told me that I couldn't. I asked who would she recommend to take my daughter to for female issues and she referred me to a Pediatrician in our network. I asked for the new Dr.s names so I could look them up on line before I made the appointment for the same day knowing that my daughter would need to feel comfortable with a new doctor. The pediatrician is a 70 YEAR OLD MAN!!! Why would my doctor refer a 15 year old girl with female questions to a 70 year old male pediatrician? As of today, I have changed my network and will no longer go to Dr. MacLeod nor will I recommend her as I have for many years. read more

I have seen her several times. I am a business owner and a father of four - I really don't have time to listen to the poor attitudes that they hire as co-pay hustlers. Not a single time were my needs or wants ever exceeded, not even just plain met. I would highly recommend seeing Dr. Paul in Redondo. They actually care. This doctor cares, just not about you, your health or your desire to be open with the person you are paying. She would have been a much better banker or cop. read more

The office was clean and friendly, the wait is never long, whether I've scheduled my appointment or not, although appointments should be scheduled, they are open to putting you in if there has been any cancellations. If not, she's conveniently right next to the urgent care! Speaking to her is extremely confortable, she listens, she's sincere, she repeats what she's heard to ensure her patients that she understands the issues and is very kind. Her office is equipped with recent technology allowing prescriptions to be ordered from their computer/fax so that when you leave, you can just go pick it up, no need for hand written notes. Extremely convenient! I haven't had this doctor long, and unfortuantly I'll be moving out of state by the end of the year, but she's truely the best doctor I've had. read more

I love Dr. Macleod and all other doctors and staff at the office. Very friendly and short wait times. Dr. Macleod is super sweet and truly wants to help all patients. She doesn't try to rush patients out, but rather takes the time to do a through examination to find the cause of the issue. She is wonderful and positive. read more

I don't know where all of these negative reviews are coming from but when I went to her the staff and Dr. Macleod were all extremely nice and helpful. There was no wait, I had to fill out new paperwork and everything and I was still in and out within 30 minutes. I loved it. She's awesome and makes you feel very comfortable. read more

Dr. MacLeod is THE ABSOLUTE BEST DOCTOR IN THE WORLD! She always gives you sooooo much of her time it is awesome! Most doctors offices I visit are a mill - they have to be because of medicare and insurance factors etc, but at Dr. MacLeod's office it is different. She will not only ask about what's going on with you, but ask about how you are doing in your life, how you are doing mentally and so on to really get a sense of what is going on - to find out what is the root cause of what is going on. She discovered that I had pre-diabetes and high cholesterol and has given me just the right medication and checkups to keep me at healthy and normal levels. She is more then just a doctor - but also you get a feeling that she is your friend. It is like the old way that the country doctors would treat you - they actually get to know you. read more

I have been going to Dr. Macleod for over 10 years. Last year I went to her with a problem where I suddenly could not hear out of one of my ears. She looked in my ear and said there was congestion and told me to get Sudafed and use a nasal spray she prescribed. This did not help. I tried calling her several times to let her know that that I still couldn't hear and nothing was helping. I left messages for her and she never called back. I ended up going to a Ear/Nose/Throat specialist (my insurance does not require a referral) on my own, and found out there was no congestion, but that a virus had attacked the nerve in my ear. So, she totally mis-diagnosed it and on top of that never returned my calls. I was going to give her another chance this year, for my physical, but my appointment was rescheduled twice and then they lost my bloodwork. I tried talking to Dr. Macleod directly to explain why I was contemplating going to a new Dr., and she was completely rude to me on the phone and denied that she had gotten any messages from me. Even though I was trying to point out to her that I believed the probelm might be with her staff not giving her the messages, she still did not want to hear it. This Dr and her staff are totally unprofessional. I will be finding a new Dr. read more

i went here for a few years and it seemed like the dr never had time for me. the nurses did everything, she'd walk in and ask me how i was and after a couple mins would say you have a sinus infection. and the end. i did not like this place and complained about it everytime i went because it seemed like they just try to see as many patients as they could in a day. i was always on time, i'd wait outside for at least half an hour. then go in and sit there for another at LEAST 30 mins... for a physical they made me go in a couple times, once to check my weight and everything, then to get blood drawn, then to check the results... so i'd have to pay a copay so many times for one physical! ridiculous. i just started going to a new dr and he actually talks to me and asks if i have any questions... he even pointed out something unrelated to the reason of my visit! new territory for me. she's recently joined some program where if you pay more you'll get to see her, if not its the assistant for you... i forget the details read more

I have been a satisfied patient of Dr. MacLeod's for over 15 years dating back to when she had her practice in El Segundo. She has always provided me with excellent healthcare especially during my battle with cancer. She interacted with my oncology Doctor and was a crucial member of my team that helped me on my journey to being cancer free. What I like best is that she spends time talking with her patients and never rushes you out as I've seen in many other offices. She always makes time to squeeze you in if you need an appointment on short notice...no long waiting room waits either. Dr. MacLeod is caring, knowledgeable and professional. I always leave her office knowing I've received excellent care. I have and will continue to recommend her to my family and friends. read more

Dr. MacLeod is the best doctor I have ever been to. A few months ago, I became very sick with whooping cough, which is difficult to diagnose unless you are a specialist and she did everything she could until I went to the specialist. This included seeing me multiple times during a month period with only notice of an hour or so before I went in. I never had to wait and she was very good with me. When I went to the pulmonary specialist and showed him everything Dr. MacLeod had prescribed to me, he said that he had never seen anyone do such a full spectrum treatment and that if was the best he had ever seen. I will never go to another primary care practitioner again, while I am living in this area. read more

Went to her about 3 years ago for a physical, but only got to see the PA. They tried to pressure me to sign up for Concierge medical service ($200/month) in order to see the Dr.. No Thanks! read more

Dr MacCleod is an incredible doctor. She listens! I'm so glad I found her. wait time is minimal and she spends time with her patients. Five stars!!! read more

Have been to Dr Macleod twice and going for a 3rd time later this week... The office is nice and clean in a really great area... The Dr was very helpfull and very nice... The only negative was i had to speak with the nurse about everything i was going through, and then had to repeat the same to the Dr, seemed kinda of a waste, but hey if its my health ill take on the extra couple minutes, never have to wait that lond to see the doctor... very happy with the office and will continue to go here... read more
