Dr. Gerald M. Sacks, MD - Santa Monica (CA)

Lindsey Nicholson We have seen multiple specialists here and our experience has been wonderful. From scheduling appointments in a timely fashion, to the thorough care provided, we have been impressed. Valet parking (free) is the cherry on top!

Faith Ventrello Dr Hall is a game changer. She has helped me get through many an issue with no drama. I love that.

Sumenta Paul Really good chocolate cake. Highly recommended. The ER doc fought my partner’s insurance company on his behalf to get him admitted to UCLA and then she and the whole team at the hospital proceeded to take exceptional care of him. 10/10 hope to never experience this again, but will return for continued medical care and in case of future emergencies. Thank you.

Bill Maloney I first connected with Dr. Sackss while in St. Johns hospital and have continued treatment with them via weekly calls for almost 8 months. I would not be at the lower pain level and higher functionality level that I am now without his wise guidance. He has been able to help me navigate a complex disease and a complex set of options for pain and functionality management. He brings a vast amount of knowledge and experience to the table as well as a level of kindness rarely seen in many physicians. I highly recommend him.

J E Tipre Dr. McGrath has served as my personal physician for twenty years. Important to me, Dr. McGrath is personable and humorous. Most important, however, Dr. McGraths diagnostic skills have helped to keep me positioned in good health through a few "phases" for which I am most grateful. She takes good care of young and old patients and, when necessary, directs patients to appropriate specialists.

Rafi Zelikowsky Dr Klevens is the best OB ever! I have been seeing her since I was in my early 20s. She recently delivered my 2nd baby, and for both kids I regularly made the trek (45 min each way) from Hollywood just to see her. She makes you feel calm, comfortable and isn’t an alarmist. I also had an IUD put in last week for the first time by Dr Klevens and her team and was really nervous after all the recent headlines about IUD insertion pain. I literally felt nothing!! Mild cramping after but nothing compared to postpartum periods. I have to add that most of the other reviews are accurate when it comes to the front desk and wait times (the number of times I was caller #14 or 15!!) and they just seem constantly understaffed. However- this has improved drastically in the last few years.

Federico Ramos Dr. Benjamin Berhoozan has been my personal physician and my familys for over two decades. His level of professionalism is impeccable. I literally put our lives in his hands and he delivered life.

Juan Ive had an almost exclusively positive experience with UCLA Medical, particularly at this location. The quality of care, from professors in medicine to residents, has been exceptional. Each practitioner, regardless of their experience level, has demonstrated top-tier expertise and a willingness to listen and collaborate on my health concerns. It’s clear they have access to a vast network of knowledge through their peers and specialists. One minor hiccup was a slight personality mismatch with a doctor, but the ease of switching to another primary care provider (PCP) who has been fantastic reassured me of UCLA’s commitment to patient care. Even my least favorable experience here was significantly better than any healthcare I’ve received elsewhere, highlighting UCLA’s superior service and patient handling. Specifically, the attentiveness and tailored advice I received from my current PCP exemplify the high standard of care at UCLA. This was a stark contrast to my experiences outside of UCLA, where the approach often felt more generalized and less focused on individual patient needs.

T B My children have been patients here since 2005...Right out of the hospital. Dr. Sachs was our main Dr. and though he has now retired, my children are still in amazing capable hands. Wonderful support staff, office is clean, organized and friendly. My children actually enjoy their visit.

Miyako Igari This place is top notch. I have been horribly late ( in excess of 30 minutes) to two appointments due to bad luck in general, and they were kind enough to fit me in-- that shows sincere compassion and dedication to patient care. Dr Alfonso Padilla and the RT Jose Salo never once made me feel rushed or that I was an inconvenience. They were great teachers and explained everything in terms I could understand, with my new diagnosis. Today I worked with a respiratory therapist Jose Salo who was absolutely stellar in terms of teaching me the ins and outs of my equipment, troubleshooting my mask, and showing me what my data means. He was able to address all of my questions, was patient and kind, and had a lot of tips to optimize mask comfort and best practices for maintenance of the parts. I felt compelled to write a review due to the support I received from Jose and this clinic in general. Thank you to this clinic and UCLA in general, every experience has been pretty exceptional.
