UCLA Health Santa Monica Pediatric Specialty Care - Santa Monica (CA)

M Bodily Great doctor!

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.

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!

Bridget Littell One of the best experiences Ive had at a doctors office. Everyone I interfaced with was kind, patient and professional. HIGHLY recommend this group, especially Dr. Gerhart who is extremely knowledgeable.

Viji Rajan Dr. David Cutler is a very professional and caring doctor. He explains things well. He refers me to good doctors. I have been with his group for many years. I really appreciate his knowledge and care. Dr.cutlers front desk is very courteous and friendly. I never have any problem.

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.

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

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!

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