One Medical: Richard Lee, MD - Santa Monica (CA)

Lola May Completely inefficient and horrible traffic to even reach a simple consult. Located in horrible area with doctors and staff with zero empathy.

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.

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

Ali Pistoresi Amazing care for an urgent visit from Dr. Drivas and staff, thank you so much!!! Super quick, professional and my child is feeling much better. Thank you for taking care of him!

Megan Dugan I chose UCLA Santa Monica for my first pregnancy which just resulted in the most perfect little boy. I had an amazing experience at this office and truly appreciated how caring the staff was throughout my journey. Not only were they always on top of everything and easy to reach, the use of the UCLA/my chart app made everything so easily accessible. I really appreciated the hybrid care between OB/midwives. I was able to meet all of the midwives throughout my pregnancy, so they were familiar faces during the birth. While my actual birth did not go according to my birth plan whatsoever, I really appreciated the level of care I was given from all of the doctors and nurses at UCLA Santa Monica hospital.

marissa viscomi The bad reviews on Dr. Gorwara genuinely frustrate me because if it werent for Dr. Gorwara, my health would likely be in a very different place. When I faced an unexpected and terrible medical situation, I saw many different doctors, from specialists, to urgent care visits, to ERs — and Dr. Gorwara was the only one who got it right, and treated me accordingly. It only took her one visit to let me know what was happening with me. While it wasnt the news I may have wanted to hear, I am so grateful I had her to figure out what so many others couldnt. And not only was she a good doctor in that moment, but she even cared enough to have my back and call the other doctors I had seen that messed up my diagnosis. She truly cares and shes good at what she does. Highly recommend Dr. Gorwara and am so grateful for her care.

Dana Jacoviello This office is horrific. Dr leaves me a nasty message about working for free because I asked him to call him some medications I NEED and he refused to do it bc he wasn’t get paid … when he told me he would do it until I got insurance. It takes TWO seconds to do this. Rude and unprofessional. And to call a patient and go off. He said it and doesn’t remember. And then acts like he oblivious. No bedside manner. He has one person working for him. Phone is rarely answered. He leaves you hanging bc then won’t take cash. Like who doesn’t take cash?! And no wonder he has horrible reviews. I see why now. Never go here. I’m getting my records and changing Dr’s you can tell just concerned about money. That’s all he talked about. Never ever have I had a Dr not help a patient in need. Calls a patient to rant and rave over you expect me to work for free. Hahaha yes working hard there to make a call to send medications to a pharmacy that takes ten seconds to do. Keep on being classy. Smh it’s a wonder how they have any patients. F minus Worst Dr. And doesn’t care about patients. Egotistical. Only cares about money. Had no clue it seems what he does or says. Maybe time to retire buddy. How you treat patients from all I see all over internet, clearly paints a picture we all have had same experience. I am astonished at his behavior of a child. I am saving this message. Filing complaint. And reporting him. I would be embarrassed to work for this man. Probably paid the person who put 5 stars. I work in healthcare for over 20 years. And this is a big issue in traditional medicine. Doctors like this.

Silvia Spross Very pleased. Great place. Wish there were more places like it.

Viji Rajan Its very busy . I am not able to get appointment when I really need it. I had been with this group when they first started.
