I wanted to share my experience in case it helps others…read more I was referred by a friend who also invited me to a cosmetic event that was scheduled for later in the month. I wanted to look more refreshed for another event I had planned earlier in the week and so I decided to go in early for botox. I initially had a positive first impression of this office. The doctor is a family physician who also offers cosmetic treatments like Botox and lasers. I came in specifically for Botox, and although he recommended more units than I usually receive for my crow's feet area, I agreed, trusting his judgment and hoping for good results. He even asked me to return in two weeks for a follow-up touch-up. Unfortunately, within days, I noticed no improvement at all in my crow's feet. I tried calling the office multiple times and received no response. I eventually went in person to have him evaluate the results. When I showed him the issue, he told me "not to smile so hard," which was surprising especially since during my appointment, the medical assistant had encouraged me to smile very hard for photos. At my two-week follow-up, I was expecting a touch-up as discussed. Instead, he recommended doubling the amount of Botox, and when I asked if I would be charged again, he said yes. This was concerning, as I have never needed that much product before, and my regular provider achieves effective results at a much lower cost. While he attempted to justify this with scientific explanations, my experience suggested that technique and anatomical precision, both critical in Botox, may have been lacking, rather than the amount used. What was most disappointing was that after this entire experience, there was no effort to resolve the issue or stand behind the results. Instead, I immediately received a reminder text invitation to a cosmetic event promoting additional services and products. Given the outcome of my treatment, this felt dismissive and a lack of professionalism and patient care. Overall, I left feeling disappointed with the results, communication, and handling of concerns. I would not recommend this doctor, especially for cosmetic procedures where experience, technique, and ethical standards are essential.

I had a truly terrible experience with this doctor. He was condescending and dismissive about many…read moreof my concerns, including with respect to conditions for which I have received a prior diagnosis. He routinely failed to have my Rx's filled unless I followed up with him multiple times - I've never had this issue with a doctor. On one occasion, his failure to timely call-in my Rx resulted in my having to wait 45 days to have it refilled due to a nationwide shortage (the pharmacy confirmed that had he called it in on-time, I would have had no issue). The last straw occurred most recently, in which it took 7 days after an appointment for him to call in the Rx for a medicine (for which lack of access could be life-threatening), despite following up with his office 3 times and them failing to call me back after saying they would. It wasn't until I stopped by in person that he finally filled the Rx. This office was an absolute nightmare.

I have never felt like he didn't respond, wasn't thorough or hadn't covered everything he and I intended for a given appointment. After scores of Doctors in LA, multiple surgeries and no end in sight to my dilemma, Dr. Lawrence didn't get all full of his own ego and promise the world; rather he said he hoped to be able to resolve my pain and promised he'd make me healthier. And that is the key, it is about health not sickness. It is about t-h-r-i-v-i-n-g, not just getting by. I write with certainty that I would not feel as good as I do as I write this, had I not joined the Revive practice. I recommend you do what you have to do and go through all the specialists your own doctors send you to, but when you are fed up with being treated because you are sick, go get healthy with Dr. Lawrence. Health is a great starting point!

When I call to make an appointment I sometimes can't get through, recently it took me almost 3 hours. Then I just drive down and amazingly was able to make an appointment. Surprisingly I must say. When I arrived the tv was so loud I forgot I was in a doctors office. Anyway I had my yearly physical recently with Dr. Wong. His compassion has also diminished. My physical exams seem to be less and less through as the years go by, Not sure if he has his hands tied since Optum took over but the quality of his care has been going down year after year. I go to a doctor for care while not often but depend on my annual physicals. On a positive note Lourdes is very compassionate and caring. She always seems to make me feel special when I visit.

I have hypertension. He never recommended me to a nutritionist either to assist me in losing weight. His best advice was for me to eat healthy and excercise more; stuff I should already know he says. All this doctor does is prescribe medication after medication. I've also taken blood work as to their recommendation and I never hear back from them nor are the results discussed with me by Dr.Wong when I go into my next visit. His nurse, Lourdes, wasnt pleasant for me to deal with as she always had something snarky to say right before measuring my bp. My results of course would be high but that's the number used for Dr. Wong to increase my dose or recommend another medication added on to what I was already taking My overall experience with Dr. Wong has been an overall disappointment. If medications don't work, he's got nothing else to give. There could have been more and better attention given to my visits and blood work results but there wasn't. I'm only relieved to part ways
