UCLA Health Santa Monica Orthopedics and Sports Medicine - Santa Monica (CA)

Georgie Landy Dr. Brent Michael is the most thorough, attentive, and caring doctor I have ever seen. I recommend him to anyone looking for a doctor who takes the time to review your lab results in depth and support your next moves. I typically leave doctor appointments frustrated with the lack of care regarding my needs but I feel so hopeful and secure after seeing him. I promise he’s worth the wait time.

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

Kimberly Small Dr. Wei is a great doctor and definitely listens and provides good feedback. Im very glad that I found her and recommend her.

Harry GH My wife and I had an exceptional experience with David Andrade. From the moment we walked in, David greeted us with a warm smile and was incredibly attentive throughout our visit. His professionalism and friendly demeanor made us feel welcomed and valued. David went above and beyond to ensure all our needs were met, and his fantastic customer service truly stood out. We highly recommend David and commend him for his outstanding dedication to providing an excellent customer experience. Thank you David

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.

emily bosma Dr Hak has been my Dr. For 30 + yrs and I dont know of any Dr. I would ever go to. He is the best in SM

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.

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.

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.

Kevin Decomines I recently had a total hip replacement at St. Johns Hospital. It was a fantastic experience. All the staff were great, from doctors, nurses and my PT, to all the assistants who helped in my procedure and recovery. And my dinner was surprisingly good. Chicken Tinga, black beans and Spanish rice. I would highly recommend St. Johns Hospital if you need any orthopedic surgery.
