I have been going to this doctor's office for a while because my in-laws recommended this office…read more The doctors, physician's assistants and staff are good here. However, as of the late, my main frustration is their prescription refill process. It seems like when you call the office you do not reach anyone directly - I think it's a call center. I tried to refill my prescription but when it went to the pharmacy it was declined by the doctor. Thus, began a continuous loop of me calling the office, regurgitating the same information call after call to various call receivers, and never getting a call back from the doctor/office. This is really hard on people when they rely on certain medication for assistance.

This procedure has put me at the mercy of corporate medicine. They have closed one urgent care center and shut them down one after another medical office as they continue to buy out others and close them down. They lead the way in the downward spiral of patient care.

I had to make an appointment before she would renew my 90 day supply. I made an appointment and needed another prescription filled before the appointment. Then they called and changed my appointment time and date 2 times. I called at least 10 times to get the refill sent to the pharmacy. No luck. I'm sure that Dr. Gallardo will be fired and in a few years will be out of business. Optum sucks. When you call you don't even get someone on the phone that works in the office. I changed doctors today.

Other specialty doctors practice here part time and it is easy to make an appointment when they are present. Staff is super friendly and so far all my appointments have been on time.

Dr. Chung has been steadfast in getting each of my parents the specialists they need, listens carefully to their concerns and always follows up with their progress between appointments. I also can't say enough about the quality of the staff. In particular, Gilbert was so helpful in helping to schedule some pre-op appointments, knowing we were coming up close to the actual procedure. Furthermore, when Dr. Chung is not in the office, it is someone like Dr. Sophia Chun, who stepped in and really took her time to understand care to my mothers needs. It is this kind of teamwork, care and attention that is so appreciated and makes it so much more pleasant to visit a health care clinic.

There should never…read morebe a two-tiered system where access to care depends on political affiliation, beliefs, race, or religion. Nothing is more egregious than a medical professional violating that oath for ideological reasons. Nothing is more heinous than a medical provider who violates their oath due to political beliefs. However, the culture at One Medical, influenced by progressive ideology, has led to some providers who appear to compromise their professional oath. I experienced this firsthand. Despite lab work that flagged multiple serious comorbidities--with critical results highlighted in red--my provider at One Medical offered no treatment plan: no medications, no referrals, no follow-up. When I advocated for myself, suggesting potential treatments based on my symptoms and lab findings, she dismissed them outright without consideration. After I expressed my frustration and filed a complaint with One Medical, they terminated my account. I am seeking legal advice to file a lawsuit against this company and its parent company, Amazon. It's unacceptable that in a country where I contribute as a taxpayer, I am denied basic healthcare due to ideological biases.

Dr. Lawrence blamed any issues on my bloodwork on the fact that I got COVID vaccines (6 years ago).

I only heard back from them after I left a HAND-WRITTEN NOTE on their door.

She takes the time to listen carefully, answer questions, and make sure her patients feel supported and informed at every visit. Dr. Scott's office reflects the kind of caring person she is. She has pictures of her pets and her children's artwork displayed, which creates such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. She is also an avid reader and even keeps a small library of books in her office that patients can borrow, showing how deeply she values both health and lifelong learning. She truly cares about her patients and always goes above and beyond to provide the best care possible. In addition to her professional excellence, Dr. Scott is an inspiring role model.
