UCLA Health Santa Monica 16th Street Internal Medicine & Pediatrics - Santa Monica (CA)

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.

Constantin Scholl The nurse that treated me today was exceptional! Mika Holt was incredibly helpful and had the most cheerful and positive attitude while doing so.

Shaun Holmes Went to my first appointment at Tia, and I had a fantastic experience here! The interior is beautifully decorated and feels super welcoming. All the staff were so so kind and made my first visit such a breeze. Dr. Stephanie was incredible and took so much time to answer my questions! Highly recommend joining Tia!

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.

Brie Noelte Super happy with this office. Dr. Chin is great. The office is clean and organized. The front desk has always been pleasant. Minimal wait times for my appointments. MyChart the online portal is amazing I directly communicate with Dr. chin and see my test results real time. Happy I established care here (:

Filomena Combatti Thank you Dr Ross . For being caring and helping me and my family in Good health Amd bad health and any problems that had came with my health passed 2 years . That had being so hard on me .

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.

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.
