I have recently switched my PCP and love how organized and efficient this office is. For reference…read moreI see Dr. Michelle Blain. The check in, validation and after care communication is top notch. They will do a physical AND a pap AND your blood work all in one sitting. That's customer service in a dream, one visit in what could have been 3! I'm not sure what the negative reviews are for but if you need a new doc I have not been disappointed.

This is more of a review from my PCP Dr. Shawn Chaikin, but I've been coming to this location for…read moreseveral years now and felt like I should leave a review. Pros: - I like the app, makes things like self check in and pulling up prescriptions/appointments easy - Dr. Chaikin is great. I'm the type of person who only goes to the doctor when I have an issue (sometimes years in between visits), and Dr. Chaikin has always been spot on with his diagnosis and recommendations. I'm a big webmd guy but it's really just not the same as hearing it from an expert. Pretty much the only reason I drive halfway across town to come to this location. - Seems to accept all insurance plans, I've switched a few in the past 5+ years and Cedars has taken all of them - Location is 'relatively new' and still looks really clean Cons: - Parking is not free. There is validation but last time I went I think it only took $3 off. If you think you're going to be there for a while I'd consider not parking in the structure.

I had entirely given up on the medical system until I found Tia. I spent YEARS seeing doctor after…read moredoctor for some ongoing life ruining mystery symptoms, and on my very first appointment, the doctor actually did a real evaluation and immediately recognized what was causing my pain and now it's completely solved. I have visited many Tia locations, since there are so many close to me, and every time the office is beautiful, the staff is friendly and human, and my care is quick and actually helpful. I went from years of "why bother" with doctors since I never got anything but a bill, and now I'll go to Tia for anything. It feels like when I was a kid and actually had my own doctor I could trust and visit at the drop of a hat when needed. There are always a million appointments available, often same day is no problem, and I am in and out in 20 minutes for $20 and I feel genuinely cared for. I've gone enough that I have one doctor I see every time now, and she knows me and is rooting for me. They call it a care team and they really mean it. I actually have a team of people who notice how I'm doing and remember me and care how I'm doing. Life changing to finally get medical attention.

I had a generally positive experience with the office staff, but I was disappointed with a billing…read moreissue following my visit. Before scheduling my appointment, I called ahead to confirm that it would be billed as a regular OB-GYN visit and that my responsibility would be a 50% copay. I was assured this was the case. However, after the visit, I received a bill for $555, which was unexpected and inconsistent with what had been communicated to me in advance. The visit itself was very brief, so I was surprised by the charge. I am currently working with the office to have the visit reviewed and correctly billed, and I hope this can be resolved easily. I'm sharing this so future patients are aware and to encourage clearer communication around billing and coding. I appreciate the staff's professionalism otherwise and hope this matter can be addressed fairly.

I was interrupted multiple times while trying to ask questions about my health and truly felt like just another number to her. When I shared I was anxious about the visit I felt utterly dismissed, and she instead talked so loud about my private health I felt the entire office could hear. She was in and out in 5 minutes and interrupted me accordingly so she could get on her way. I also received no aftercare instructions on an invasive procedure and ended up in a lot of pain and mildly sick as a result. Office staff was also rude. That being said, the person who I talked to on the phone for scheduling was lovely.

I was referred to physician Dr. Erica Wang by my gynecologist for evaluation of a hormonal issue…read more(not fertility treatment). While Dr. Wang appeared knowledgeable, I left feeling deeply frustrated, disappointed, and misled by this office's lack of transparency and communication. Before scheduling my visit, I triple-checked that Dr. Wang was in-network with my insurance to avoid unexpected costs. Despite that, I was never informed that the office bills under hospital services instead of standard physician office services, this is despite the fact that I was referred to Dr. Wang specifically for physician services. My appointment was scheduled months in advance. Because of this billing policy, my visit and related tests ended up costing over $1,200 after insurance!!! -- far more than I could have ever anticipated. During the appointment, several tests were performed that I felt pressured to comply with, without any clear explanation that they would be billed as hospital-level procedures. I feel completely taken advantage of. A doctor's office has a responsibility to clearly communicate all aspects of care, including how visits and tests are billed, so patients can make informed decisions. Patients trust their healthcare providers to guide them honestly, not surprise them with astronomical charges after the fact. This experience has seriously shaken my confidence in the entire healthcare system. And despite the fact that I have contacted the office to try an negotiate a lower bill, they were unwilling to engage. I would advise all patients to seriously reconsider services by Dr. Erica Wang or her staff.

I was seen by all doctors at the Cedars Sinai Fertility Clinic including the fellows/interns,…read moresomething I was never completely comfortable with. The main doctors; Dr. Pisarska, Dr. Wang and Dr. Chan were all very nice. This is not your typical fertility clinic, you don't work with the same doctor or staff member during each visit and I was never comfortable enough to go through an IVF procedure because of this. All the previous fertility clinics I was treated at this was the norm. I decided try Cedars because I thought it would be great to be treated by an all-female staff, most of my doctors are Cedars affiliated doctors and they are great and I thought the fertility fee's would be much lower than the other larger well-known fertility clinics. Boy was I wrong. My benefits renew every year, but there is a max and Cedars surpassed that max. For "2" IUI's I was charged thousands of dollars. If you have ever gone through an IVF cycle and are fortunate to have fertility benefits and you have gone through an IUI then you know that there is a huge difference in cost between the two. A couple of IUI's should not cost over $9,000 dollars. Cedars price gouged my insurance benefits and took everything leaving a few hundred dollars, not enough for an IVF cycle which I normally have once per year. When I realized this I was so stressed I broke out in hives. Please consider going to another clinic. I have looked at previous claims for the other clinics I was treated at and all of the claims look completely legitimate, but not Cedars. A lot of their outrageous fee's are hidden under "radiology" or "supplies" and "ancillary fee's". For the other clinics the charges were straightforward. If you were seen for a pelvic ultrasound, then you were billed for a pelvic ultrasound and if you were seen for bloodwork such as estradiol or progesterone then that is what you were billed for. I wish I had done more research and completely regret coming here.

Trying to make an appointment was very hard the wait is over 2 hours, when I finally get through someone he is extremely rude, sarcastic, and ends up hanging up on me. Day 1: I was greeted by Latoya and had my service with Dr. Bjorn. First red flag was that Latoya came up to me to pressure me to please do a review on yelp and make sure it was 5 stars, when I had not seen the doctor yet. After the service I left at front desk some paper work to be filled out by my Doctor, it turns out that the paper work was misplaced, was not communicated to me and when I would ask them about the status they will say that it was not filled out yet. One month later I get called from Cynthia, clinic manager, asking me about what paper work I was talking about and that she was never told about it.. wowww after all the wait. The worse part is that Cynthia after telling her everything that happened, her attitude becomes rude, defensive, and disrespectful. Cynthia was never apologetic about what had happened and just decided to hang up on me. Later that day I decide to call back and reschedule my appointment and to my surprise I get the same guy who answered the first time I called as a new patient and, believe it or not, his attitude was the same,rudeeee . I ask to be transfer to some else and he transfers me to Sandra who did not speak English and sounded like a robot, every time I asked a question she did not know how to answer, so I decided to ask for a manager and to my surprise she was one of the managers. .. Hours later I get a called from Alissa, saying that I was no longer going to be seen by my doctor because MINE ATTITUDE WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE... I was very surprise and couldn't believe what I was hearing. Pleaseeeeee do yourself a favor and go somewhere else, this place is not worth the time and money .... Dr. Lapilles, if you are reading this review, I Ask you kindly to please do a major and urgent costumer service training to everyone. The people that are running your facility are doing the worst job ever, please take time to see all yelp and google reviews and you will realize that this is not the only bad review, but one of many following. Please start with the staff which called themselves managers and cannot even apologize for anything or be compassionate. For everyone else let me warn you that as a patient of these facilities you will 1) wait for 2 hours just to make an appointment 2) will not have communication from staff and you will have to contact them to find about any kind of status and if you are lucky the person that answers won't have an attitude. 3) paper work to be lost and not be communicated about it or even apologized. 4) if you complain about your service, you are at risk of getting banned as a patient. 5) no compassion or understanding from staff. Read all the reviews and will find out that this place is not worth it.

A big shout out to Leah…read more I was here recently for a follow up appointment with Dr. Bruksch. Leah was super pleasant, professional, & helpful. She wasn't able to set up a 6 month folliw up appointment yet & suggested when to call back to prevent any frustration on my part. Dr. Bruksch has been very helpful with a medication to ease the discomfort I had with urinary issues. He said to reach out if I had any questions or concerns with the prescription refill. All in all, a good experience with this office.

I wish I could give a positive review, as I had good experiences with this practice for years…read more.. until I got pregnant. That's when everything went down hill. The good: - It's very easy to get appointments here, and I was always seen on time. - The nurse is lovely! The bad: - At 7 weeks gestation, I was told I had likely had a missed miscarriage, which was very traumatic. Luckily, when I went in a week later to confirm, everything was okay, but that week of waiting was the worst week of my life. Later in my pregnancy, I transferred my care to a Maternal Fetal Medicine clinic, and they informed me that the info I received from Plaza Towers didn't make sense and that I likely had gone through that week of pain for no reason. I was very disappointed to hear this. - Dr. Wilson's bedside manor isn't the best. To her credit, she knows this (she literally asked me one time if she had handled a situation okay, which I appreciated!). But when you're being told you may have lost your pregnancy, demeanor matters. She wasn't mean or anything, she just was rather aloof and didn't seem to view the situation with the same gravity we did, which made the situation even harder. - Dr. Bruksch's demeanor and behavior towards me and my husband was incredibly dismissive. He is clearly an anti-vaxxer - when I asked him his recommendations about when to receive shots during the pregnancy, he simply said it was up to me (gave no recommendation) and then joked that he had lost admitting privileges at Cedars-Sinai during COVID because he would not get vaccinated. Later in my appointment, when I attempted to discuss medical concerns I had with my pregnancy, he was incredibly dismissive of my situation (my husband felt the same way too). I left my appointment with Dr. Bruksch with the distinct feeling that he saw me as a stupid young woman he had no time for. Contrasting his behavior with the amazing care I received at my new clinic just further showed me how poor his treatment was. - I have had numerous billing issues. When I did my genetic testing via Natera, they correctly billed it for myself but incorrectly billed it for my husband (they checked the wrong box), leading us to get a bill for thousands of dollars that should have been $250. Luckily, I was able to correct the issue on my end, but it took a lot of time on the phone with Natera that shouldn't have needed to happen if it had been submitted correctly. Additionally, their billing employee is incredibly rude and combative in a way that I've never experienced before. Pretty wild behavior. For regular check-ups, this place is likely fine. But for higher levels of care, I would recommend going elsewhere.
