UCLA Health Santa Monica Neurology - Santa Monica (CA)

Jeremiah b I had an exceptional experience at UCLA Orthopedic in Santa Monica on 1/2/25. I arrived just three minutes before closing, yet the team went above and beyond to accommodate me. The doctor fit me in, took X-rays, evaluated my condition, placed me in a splint, and referred me to an incredible specialist who was able to schedule an appointment just two days later. I want to express my gratitude to everyone in the office who stayed late to take care of my injury. Their professionalism, dedication, and compassion were truly outstanding. Thank you for going the extra mile—your care made a difficult situation much easier to manage. Highly recommend this office for anyone in need of orthopedic care!

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 (:

Dick Wolfe Is an outstanding cancer center with the very best professional staff. It has certainly helped me.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sherri Stokes I am completely shocked at the change in care that I have received in this office with Dr. Hallis. I have attempted to have a prescription refilled for three weeks with no avail. I have not received any responses in the UCLA system by the doctor, nor any of his constituents. As a professional myself, I am baffled at the lack of care, and respect that this office is giving patients. Looking at the previous review, I am no longer surprised. I suggest to anyone looking for a physician in the Santa Monica area to look elsewhere. What a complete disaster. ETA: All good things come to an end, Dr. Hallis. You were always kind. You did that. Be proud of your journey & God bless U on your retirement…you deserve it & it’s time. Thank you…
