    Sounds like good treatment but it is a cash only facility. Would have been great if accepted insurance.

    IF YOU COME TO THIS EMERGENCY ROOM, BE PREPARED TO WAIT 9-10 HOURS UNLESS YOU'RE ACTUALLY CLOSE TO…read moreDYING. I know that sucks to say but that is the truth. I unfortunately was in a situation where I NEEDED to go to cedars because of the complications of my condition. I'd say that if you can go somewhere else you'd probably be seen a bit faster. when I finally was brought out of the waiting room into a bed, it was in a hallway, where I was kept overnight and was finally put into a "room" the next morning at about 9 am. All of the ER tests and things were done in the hallway. Other than the time and the wait. The care I received was second to none. I was given attentive Nurses and doctors who were competent and actually figured out what was wrong with me. Hopefully this review guides you in the right direction.

    My mother is a regular patient of this hospital because well it Cedars-Sinai. The service and care…read moreare usually good. Then again it's not for ER service. Today i had to bring my mother to ER. It's under construction so it made the check in inconvenient. We checked in at 10:45 am. Got called in for a bed at 5:52 pm. Then it took about an hour before the doctor stopped by. The doctor ordered a CT scan and lab work. It's 10:05pm and all the tests have been completed. We're waiting for an update. Not quite the service we had in mind from a top notch hospital. I would expect this from a county hospital. There were many people waiting for at least 8 hours including a father and son who were sent by a research group in Honduras to have the son seen by cancer specialists. The son has stage 4 colon cancer. He was waiting alongside my mother! At 10:53 pm the nurse stopped by to let us know my mother is being admitted and the doctor will come by soon to speak with us. There is no need for this type of wait or lack of service. This is bad healthcare.

    When you're dealing with male infertility, it takes a heavy toll on both of you, but my husband was…read moreespecially hesitant to even start the process. Finding Dr. Houman was an absolute game-changer for us. From our first consultation, he made my husband feel completely comfortable and respected. Dr. Houman quickly pinpointed a varicocele as the root cause of our fertility struggles and laid out a clear, step-by-step path forward. He never rushed us, answered all my (many) questions, and made sure we both felt confident in the treatment plan. Fast forward to a few months after treatment, my husband's fertility numbers improved dramatically, and we finally got our positive pregnancy test! I am so grateful for Dr. Houman's expertise. If you and your partner are navigating fertility issues or varicocele concerns, you are in the best hands here.

    I came to Dr. Houman after years of dealing with a painful varicocele, ongoing testicular pain, and…read moregrowing concerns about fertility. Other doctors brushed it off, but Dr. Houman took the time to truly listen and explain how varicoceles can cause pain and impact sperm quality and hormones. His depth of expertise in microsurgical varicocele repair and testicular pain treatment is obvious. He was thorough, honest, and never pushed unnecessary treatment. The care felt very precise and highly specialized. Since treatment, my testicular pain has significantly improved and my fertility testing showed significant improvement! Just as important, I finally felt confident and supported throughout the process. If you're dealing with varicoceles, chronic testicular pain, or infertility and want a urologist who genuinely specializes in men's health, I highly recommend Dr. Houman.

    My experience with APLA Health and this location have been incredible. I really appreciate that the…read moremultiple locations allow for seamless care no matter which location you go to. I see Kevin Rauchut, who is one of the most caring human beings and extremely thorough in his questions, and I always feel confident in his responses. Kevin spends time with me to thoroughly assess what needs to be assessed and answers my questions. He is non-judgmental and offers his opinion and also respects my autonomy. He has been wonderful in also asking about my life as a whole and learning about me. It's helpful to normalize when we might be going through tough times and also have someone to celebrate wins. The front desk and reception are all very friendly and helpful. I'm always receiving immediate call-backs if I can't reach someone and leave a message. I also appreciate that APLA Health allows patients to use other locations and providers if needed, without forcing people to use the same provider. I do try to see Kevin, but sometimes if I need a referral for physical therapy, or something else with immediacy, then it's really convenient to be able to make an appointment with whomever has the earliest availability. I really enjoy going to this location, in the heart of West Hollywood. The colors of the rooms reflect the LGBTQIA+ community. The bloodwork is done on the same floor so there's no need to separate it out from the appointment. Other non-APLA Health facilities are starting to require that patients make a separate appointment for bloodwork, which creates a barrier. I'm so happy APLA Health truly makes an concerted effort to reduce barriers. Kevin Rauchut also goes into detail as to different options so I am able to make a decision on my own but with helpful guidance from a professional. I never feel like I'm alone. I used to go to the Olympic office as my main location, but then Kevin moved over to the WeHo location. There's a modern yet intimate feel that's a perfect combination. I never feel rushed, and the portal messages are convenient as the staff can let me know if questions require appointments or not. I do appreciate the option of a phone call, but I hope APLA Health can consider a video telehealth platform, even if it's not with our main provider. It would be very convenient to have someone who is looking at our chart and able to discuss things virtually through video, and not only through audio. APLA Health has been impacted by federal-level funding cuts, so please donate if you can. They are worth it!!!

    I have never had a doctor's office make me feel as welcome and safe as APLA. Each time I come it…read morefeels like I am with family and they know me and they greet me and they genuinely want to help. Dr David Alajajian is a godsend. He is the most caring doctor I've ever had and he actually listens and responds to my questions, which is unfortunately more rare with doctors these days. I highly recommend APLA.

I really appreciate the care that doctor Lavi and his team have for their patients. He has been my primary doctor since 2013 and the only thing that I can say is that I'm so lucky that he is my doctor. God bless you

    I keep it real and honest no bullshit .... The truth is a hard pill to swallow…read more. Wow reading some of the reviews so I'm not the only one who feels this way..... guess this has been an on going problem .. Nobody likes going to the doctor especially when you feel horrible and very sick. I always dread going here . And here's why. Dr Lavi "himself " is really great... He really knows how to treat you ....if you get to see him. The rest of some of his staff should all be fired . Bunch of clowns... Dr Lavi expects patients to respect his staff which I will always do but if a pattern continues then I will speak up.. Let me begin. Since I've been going there I've always been treated very poorly by the staff. There front desk staff is very rude treat you like shit have zero personality skills or seems to even care. Their demeanor is pathetic and all should not be working. At a doctors office . I even asked the male doctor with curly hair why is your front desk staff so rude. He said because they think everyone that comes in is entitled. I've never said hurry up or what's taken so long . It's a medical practice and things take time it was it is . So they already judge you just by walking in.. be very mindful and watch there behavior. It's not like any other medical clinic. To me It feels like they don't wanna be there. I thought this was a place I felt comfortable and safe , oh no! Ever since they posted the sign must wear a mask no exceptions. I've always been singled out While everyone else's doesn't have to ... and if you happen to forgot one they don't provide masks . You have to pay 10 dollars for one. Yep there's still more . I asked the staff why do you have a sign posted and in big letters no exceptions and my visit today. Nobody had a mask on.. the front desk rep replied we're not enforcing it today. So every other time that I've come in, with other people in the waiting room they only enforce it on me even if I'm not coughing . Backstory I was super sick a few weeks ago out of work struggling with money and they have the nerve to charge 40 dollars to fax papers , 3 papers with a signature and a few check marks in boxes that your able return to your work. I was upset and thought that was absolutely ridiculous with speaking to my insurance saying it's supposed to cover all coasts . . It's not illegal to do that but ethical when someone going through a hard time. Did I mention it was 40 dollars. !! Absolutely disgusting Then one of the so called nurses think it was Damien said arrogantly well it's only $40.00. I said it is coming out of your pocket, and he replied you work don't you ? I replied yes but I'm out of work right now and I'm obviously here so who are you to tell me it's only $40.00 what a real asshole. Very unprofessional to treat someone like that in the medical field.. a lot of times they'll have students there helping you out taking you into a room going over some information. I had a server cough virus ,And when you mention that you have anything extra , for me it was something very important a sever infection to be looked the student who takes you in r replies we'll see if we have time for it. Such a wonderful feeling place it go to and feel cared for. and supposedly someone more qualified comes in and goes over What's going on. The virus has to run its course so rest hydration, the basics to take care of yourself. About 2 weeks ago when I went to get the infection checked out it was healing, And the so called more qualified doctor recommended to see a wound specialist. but since going there about a month ago, I had to go to the ER and have the doctor drain it then the surgical team come out drain it even very painful packet go on antibiotics for a few weeks . . I'm thinking to myself why did the so-called doctor not refer me to a wound specialist from the beginning? It's very upsetting and disappointing think you'll get the proper care you need. Maybe look up the definition of certified versus qualified. Today I received a letter from the clinic a signed document by Dr Lavi that they let me go due to my behavior. My behavior was I was loud to the staff upset questioning how can you treat a patient like this for there quality of care . I never disrespected them with any fowl moth or behavior ... now I have to go find a new primary care doctor and that not always easy .....so here's my response letter , and personal experience review. they can go Fuck themselves....

I went to the follow up to with Dr. Lee he informed me that he could not prescribe any pain medication after reviewing my x-rays instead l can have a referral several weeks to over a couple of months meanwhile deal with the pain I spoke with Supervisor Ms. MICHELA so disappointed with the office and with the care and service I have been receiving I no longer will go to this office or any of the Saban clinics the bottom line they are now acting as they should survival clinics doctors in transition, They don't appear to know what they're doing any longer just so disappointing after the injury and not receiving any pain medication. I have to start all over and look for a doctor and deal with the level of pain I'm n @ a 9! My hand is numb tingling, I'm in severe pain on the left side of my entire body.clinic Politics I no longer have confidence in the operating process. They are not helpful and they do not prescribe medication for the most part that you need especially if you're in severe pain so what is a doctor for? I will no longer be a patient, I'm done with the run around. The supervisors advice today for me was to go back to emergency or urgent care. I already been there and done that in addition to their office actually reviewing my Xray viewing the fracture What kind of advice is that to just keep on repeating the same process over and over again. No help ! The office called me back for a referral l live 8 min from the office n Los Angeles, the referral is in another city that l never go to 45 min away from my address in Burbank who does that are they just plain crazy or just inconsiderate with thousand of referrals in Los Angeles they want to waste my time not to mention out of the City several miles away mileage & Gas have you lost all senses heartless it's a wrap never again will you waste my time allowing me to be in pain & sending me to another City Los Angeles has the most doctors anywhere but you want me to drive 45 minutes away that's for nothing
