I came in feeling tired and told her my energy has been low and my metabolism was slow. She took the time to do tests and specific labs and questionnaires so we could see exactly what the problem was. We found out my thyroid was low and that I was lacking a bunch of vitamins! She prescribed some supplements and gave me some great breathing exercises. It's been 3 weeks and I feel REJUVINATED. My energy is back which I never thought could happen and I finally have the motivation to exercise and go out! I feel so much younger and wake up more refreshed. I even lost 5 pounds. Truly a miracle worker and the nicest person. She knows what she's doing. Highly reccomend.

My husband had major surgery 6 weeks ago and there has been no follow up from Dr. Kunz or his staff to check on his well being. We are now actively searching for a new primary care physician. I do not recommend this physician.

An update to my review as of 1/20/2026: We continue to be batted between UCLA telling us to call…read moreour insurance, and our insurance (Cigna) to call UCLA due to them (correctly) stating they do not set the prices, and only UCLA can help due to them charging us at a special faculty rate (despite special faculty rate NOT being the appropriate categorization for a primary care visit), and not informing us beforehand that this would be the case. Once we finally reach someone to talk to at UCLA, we are told a supervisor will look into it and then get no response for a month, only for us to proactively follow up and be put through the same claims process again with no help in sight. Truly, one of the worst healthcare experiences we have had. Over $1000 to get 5-10 minutes with a primary care Dr to request a an antidepressant that I have taken for years, and requiring a follow up Drs appointment to charge hundreds of dollars a second time to even be able to receive a refill of the medication. I hope my experience informs others and they choose a different healthcare provider group. Not only is there nobody to go to for help, the UCLA billing department actively does NOT want to help you, and unnecessary follow-up appointments are booked in order to extract as much money as possible from a patient into their healthcare system.

I was assigned to this medical group and scheduled four months out for a physical. I asked to be…read moreplaced on a cancellation list in hopes of being seen sooner. Nearly three months later, I called to check my position on the cancellation list and to confirm my appointment date so I could complete the required electronic forms (which couldn't be done without that date). I was on hold for over 10 minutes before being disconnected, then waited another 5 minutes when I called back. When I finally reached the new patient intake coordinator, I mentioned that it would have been helpful if the appointment date had been included in the email so I wouldn't need to call to confirm. Instead of addressing the issue, she became defensive, explaining how she was the only person in that role/ department. I told her I understood but felt their processes could improve and lessen the frustration. When I asked where I was on the cancellation list, she responded in a condescending manner, telling me they had many patients and that I wasn't their only one. I explained that I was aware of their multiple locations and providers and that I'd be happy to see any provider, of any gender, if it meant being seen sooner. Despite that, she continued to give reasons why it wasn't possible to move my appointment. I did finally drag out of her that I was third on the list in which I said there was hope. I thanked her and ended the call. To my surprise, she called me back in what felt like a passive-aggressive manner, asking why I had hung up on her. I told her I had thanked her and was finished speaking. She was upset that I didn't say good bye but instead said thank you and hung up. She commented on my tone, and I told her I didn't appreciate her manner toward me and that I was matching her energy at this point. The conversation escalated, and admittedly, I did say the f word once out of frustration because she had called back only to continue the conflict rather than help. She then stated she would be speaking with management to revoke my ability to be seen at their practice. I said I understood and would also like to speak with management. About a week later, I received a letter stating I had been removed as a patient and would need to be reassigned elsewhere. After reading reviews on Yelp and other sites, I noticed a pattern of similar experiences. In the end, they probably did me a favor, but the lack of professionalism, empathy, and accountability from their intake staff was incredibly disappointing and reflects poorly on how this medical group treats patients. I don't generally leave reviews but this was unethical and very disappointing.

Like many others, I was very disappointed at how hard they upsell at every turn, and at being told that my insurance would COVER the additional fees (or at least the majority) only to sit down at check out (which was the longest checkout in history--it was as if the staff member had never used a tablet before) and be told that they did not accept my insurance! What? Moreover, I was told I have chronic dry eyes (which no other eye doctor has EVER diagnosed me with) and was then hard pushed a $4K procedure they apparently specialize in. When I contacted the office with my questions about the procedure (namely, after research, it seems I'm NOT a candidate, or should at least start first with the low hanging fruit of Omega 3s, hot compresses, etc.), I was told that I needed ever MORE expensive testing. Lastly, the staff left much to be desired--the staff member that did my initial eye exam pressed so hard on my eyeball that I yelped in pain; the other staff member checking me out took 45 minutes to generate a bill, etc. As a followup, they sent me an Rx for Progressive Lenses (which they also tried to hard sell me during the exam) even though I don't wear Progressive Lenses! Reading many of the other 1-3 star reviews, it seems this is all par for the course. I'm sure they'll post a charming refutation of this for the "optics" (pun intended), but given my experience (and that of my fiance who also felt he'd sat through a 2-hour sales pitch during his exam), I will not be back.

Experience a clean, contemporary, and relaxed atmosphere in our eye exam room.
