He was nice and courteous kept asking if we needed any more help and he was just amazing. I give him five stars! However, the facility gets zero stars; read my experience below On 6/18 I had an appointment to straighten out my Social Security card. It basically took me two days of calling to get this appointment .Once I got there, the guards were extremely rude asked me over and over again if I had an appointment. They asked me what the appointment was for they said well, we can't help you and we don't know why you're here. They wanted me out of there ASAP! I began to tell them that I spoke to someone on the phone and they were the ones who gave me the appointment for today! Anybody knows that you can't walk into the Social Security office and you have to make an appointment! I don't know why they think they're above the law. They're just rude. And they need to get over it. I would give this place a zero star, but that's not a choice. It wasn't until I got to the back and spoke to someone and he made me feel better. I'll give him a separate review, but for right now this place is getting a zero star Update: apparently I can't do two reviews, but Fernandez was amazing. He was so nice.

Keep in mind she was also 30 minutes late to my phone interview, coming at me with an attitude that my new application is misinforming when I'm giving her all the information and circumstances. Her brain isn't connecting the dots. She stops the interview and tells me to come in person and schedules me for a 10PM INTERVIEW. She makes it my problem to deal with and never addressing her incompetency. You've got to be fucking lying. Who's hiring these people? Later she's trying to make it my problem again by scheduling me for another in person interview and the mail just got to me a day after her new scheduled date.

In my opinion there are good, ok and bad parts of Gardena. Back in the day parts of Gardena that were well known for all the Asian foods and places. When growing up I would go to all these places like the Gardena Buddhist Church, Meiji Market in Pacific Square now known as Tokyo Central along all these other stores and places that used to be in the square. Along Redondo Beach Bl there were some good places as well. Lots has changed all over Gardena but still a great city. Oh also the Gardena PD and Fire are on top of things as well even my classmate and friend was the Chief of Police. Overall I still will recommend visiting Pacific Square and all the places around the surrounding area such as Tozai Plaza off Western Ave and Redondo Beach Bl. There much more others but then this review will be a novel lol.

The first visit was great. A supervisor Lady saw that I was handicapped and was waiting a long…read moretime. She got me in to see a worker right away. Second time I was there, I waited 3 hours and saw all the people that I was in line with that was behind me,go ahead of me and I was left. My number never showed up on the screen and No one called out my number. I made sure I was in front of the screen and didn't even go to the bathroom of fear of missing my number. Finally, I got up to ask one of the workers by the door and and asked how far I was in the que? He told me my number was called already! I said, NO, it was NOT. I told him I watched for 3 hours in front of the screen and I was never called. He called a supervisor man to come help and he, took my number ticket and I was told to go back and sit down. I waited and waited and the supervisor never came back to me. I asked where he went and was told he said he would come back. He never did. I finally saw the sweet lady supervisor and asked her to help. She finally assured me me that she would get my number called again and to listen for it. Another 1/2 hour and finally I was called and it only took 5 minutes with a case worker. Almost 4 hours in pain as I can't sit for too long, both legs go numb and buldging discs in my lower back and neck were throbbing. I can't stand for too long either. I have a ankle impingement, and plantars fasciitis in both feet and sciatica. It was a bad day for me to wait that long . I don't know why but they have done this to a few people that was there too and I was one of them. I over heard some of the workers complaining about customers and some being rude to customers who don't speak English so well and be condescending towards them and belittling them. Such rudeness should cease. The one women who is kind, and making sure everyone is being taken care of was the supervisor . She was very understanding, spoke kindly to everyone. I know you all see some crazy people up in there but, you should do your best to speak and talk kindly towards others. Get off your cell phones and always be ready with a kind face and be helpful. Thats the job you signed up for. If you continue to complaine, maybe you should look for another job. We need a system of people who want to help others.

If you ever need to call them, they will pick up and immediately tell you "please hold". But they do come back to you and help you. I think it's better than being in an endless automated loop where you don't know if anyone will be picking up or not. If you qualify for VA outpatient, I highly recommend this office if you're in the area.

That last time I came here, the experience wasn't bad but not as good as my latest visit. It wasn't crowded and I didn't have an appointment. After checking in, my wait was maybe 10 minutes. I was called up, provided proof of residency, took mu picture and then completed testing (HazMat). I should receive my renewed license in approx. two weeks. Seamless process. If you have a commercial license, don't waste you time at a non-CDL DMV. There's only a handful of commercial DMV's in the state. Check the CA DMV website for a facility near you. It's worth it!

Hello my friends!! Bonjour mes amis!! My older brother…read moreserved our country as a Vietnam Era Veteran in the US Army. He had just turned 18 years old when he volunteered for duty. I remember him going up to Fort Ord at Monterey he described beautiful red toned sunsets and intense training. The Vietnam War 1960 to 1975 was still happening when he joined in 1973 I believe he wanted to be "In Country"(Vietnam) but he was at overseas assignment in Germany when the war was coming to an end. The Vet Center did an outstanding job in helping our family to get a copy of my brother's "DD 214" military service record after his passing which was needed for a state agency. If you have a Veteran in your family it's a good idea to have their DD 214 for your family records. God Bless the men and women veterans who have sacrificed so much for our country and for freedom around the world...;-)

I was appalled at how dirty this place is and the location doesn't even have spots demarcated for Disabled Veterans. After living in other cities and states holy crap does LA do a horrific disservice to us veterans! I will not waste my time here. First impressions matter, so if I was sent here, am a CA native who is already in the VA West LA system why do I need to present you with personal and private information that you should already have? This is one of the reasons I enjoy the efficiency of other newer VA Choice programs, we should have the right to choose providers who are convenient for us in our local communities not be forced to go to a base, these places, or a VA. This place specifically did not meet any of my needs and further exacerbated my reticence to attempt anything even tangential to VA.
