Another downside, for me, is that when they order any kind of test, the order has an expiration date in a week or two. I'm a senior, don't drive, and suffer from fibromyalgia with severe fatigue. All the orders from my independent drs are good for 6-12 mos! I'm guessing that large medical corporations serve a wider variety of clients, often across the entire country, so some are unreliable and do things without discussing with their drs, ergo the corporate CYA policies. Ok, but that's not me, and the independent drs I've always seen know that. Computers do not. I'm now 65 and the doctors I was with for 25+ years straight are retiring sadly. Or going "concierge" style. I got a phone message saying that my dr won't be in the day my next appt is set after all. AGAIN!! ! Each time it's ANOTHER 3-4 months before they can fit me in. Because of my fatigue added to being a lifelong "night owl", I can only do afternoon appts. I can't get to sleep until at least 3 am most nights. I also had to change my phone's "do not disturb" settings because UCLA calls at 7 am. All my life I have been taught it's rude to call others at home before 9 am. So I never get to talk to the office or person that called, since when I call back it's routed to that call center. Extremely impersonal. No one there has ANY medical training, not even receptionist level, all they do is look for open spaces on a computer screen. No empathy, and zero offers of any other way to schedule an appointment or ask a question- you have to push for any of that. When I use the app, I can interact directly with my dr's office, but it's still a series of steps from who reads my message, to a nurse or other medical assistant, to the dr, then back to me. This leads to very poor information sharing. I prefer a much more individualized approach.

This review is for the medical practice rather than Dr. Tenenbaum himself…read more I've been a patient of Dr. Tenenbaum (technically one of his physician's assistants...you know the deal) for about 3 years. My medical history is pretty normal, so there isn't much to cover here: go in, get blood work done, get reminded that I have such-and-such value that is slightly above the norm for the population. Rinse, repeat. What drove me away from this practice (other than the 2020 pandemic...) is that Dr. Tenenbaum transitioned his practice to...concierge medicine. This artificially reduces the number of available physicians in the area, ultimately driving up medical costs for patients who do not necessarily need 24/7 support. I cannot ethically support this business practice, despite having the privilege of being able to pay an extra $200/mo for a service that I will likely not benefit significantly from...at least in the short term. I request that physicians reconsider going 100% concierge and consider a hybrid practice model. Allow those who cannot afford concierge medicine the ability to unlock a variety of physicians in the area. Healthcare is challenging enough as it is in this country...please don't add to the problem.

He's very caring and thorough, and of course in his UCLA network has many specialists to recommend (luckily all of them are in Santa Monica). He's of course very knowledgeable, being a UCLA professor. Dr. P is a gentle guy who nevertheless tells it like it is.

Thankfully I've been healthy so I've only seen her for my annual physicals, but she has been so kind and attentive and understanding and reassuring which is so important in building a relationship with a physician. I've felt so comfortable with her and was so glad to have finally found a physician to have a good relationship with and that I could trust if any health issues ever arise. ...And then I just received "THE LETTER" that we all dread receiving. That she is going concierge. So now in order to remain her patient, I would have to pay an astronomical retainer fee out of pocket, along with my insurance being billed and any deductibles paid, etc. for my visits. *sigh* So for all of you who can afford the retainer I'm sure she'll be a great physician for you. For the rest of us, the grueling search is on (again) for a new physician.

I came to stay with a family member and at this point I was having a thyroid episode and I couldn't…read moreget to a proper doctor in the area. I was really sick. First off they don't take insurance and they charge over $500 for a visit. The initial visit was a blood draw which was reasonably priced but to see a doctor it was 500 minimum. That was wild. I'm from San Francisco and they charge her insurance. They would never asked those that are financially strapped to put out that kind of money for a short visit. And then there was no follow-up. When I called I was blowing off by a man that answered the phone that didn't sound very experienced. He didn't know what he was talking about. He was kind of rude. It was a huge turn off. And I never really got the answers that I was looking for. He told me absolutely nothing. I got a prescription and that was it. No detailed description of what they found in my blood work. That was also strange. In every other circumstance where I saw a doctor they would sit down with me and talk me through it. I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone. They lack compassion and empathy, follow through, and charge way too much for what they do. Also I did notice that they double dipped. They charged me out of my own pocket but then also charge my insurance company. So they're not ethical as well. Thankfully I'm doing okay and I won't need to see them again. But I put the word out. I think other people need to be warned. I also noticed from other reviews that if you say anything negative about them they come on here and they lie. That's not okay. They're trying to intimidate people. That should also be a big turn off to those looking for a doctor.
