I've had a consistently excellent experience at Optimal Health and wellness and would highly…read morerecommend it to anyone looking for a professional, elevated wellness service. From the moment you walk in, the environment is impeccably clean, calm, and thoughtfully designed--it strikes the perfect balance between medical office and a relaxing, spa-like atmosphere. The staff is exceptionally knowledgeable and attentive, taking the time to explain each treatment in a way that feels both informative and reassuring. I typically come in for B12 shots, (I recommend the Honey Badger) , and the process is quick, seamless, and handled with great care. Efficiency, level of professionalism, and attention to detail is what you receive throughout the entire visit. I've personally noticed a meaningful improvement in my energy levels and overall sense of well-being following my treatments. Equally important, I feel completely confident in the safety and quality of care provided here. Scheduling is easy. You can call or check the schedule online. Appointments run on time, and every interaction reflects a high standard of service. NOTE: Parking is free for the first 90 minutes, but keep in mind the day and time you go can make it a challenge to find parking. Give yourself time. You park in the same lot with A LOT of restaurants. You need the code to get into the office building. No appointments passed 5pm and not Saturdays. I will absolutely continue coming back.

I'm almost 50... I don't want to just be "healthy" and I don't want to "settle" for average health. I want to be fully optimized in order to show up in a peak state for my family, my work, myself activities and mostly myself. So I take the time and the diligence to research and review potential enhancements and solutions that accommodate and complement my goals. I take them to Clement Lee and we create a protocol that's custom for my needs, wants and wishes. In the process he clears up the confusion and provides expert Insight into proper dosing and use (or even avoidance) of the options I'm wanting to consider. He's been a very accurate and highly effective resource for my success. I highly recommend.

Hope I never have to return, but Huntington Cedars took amazing care of me. Three months ago, a…read morefreak BJJ accident left me with a broken tib/fib. Was brought here by a friend immediately on Friday night and had surgery Saturday morning to get a titanium rod and screws. The nursing staff was excellent, and my surgeon Dr. Shah was super cool and did a phenomenal job. From Friday to Monday, they did everything possible to keep me comfortable. TBH I'm shocked this place only has 3 stars... it's a great hospital with an even better staff. And yes they have a reputation for food and it's actually pretty good, however it's a bit bland for patients, way better as a visitor. Anyways, highly recommend them. Will not return LOL

I am writing to formally document my grievances regarding the life-threatening care I received at…read moreHuntington Hospital during two separate incidents. During my delivery, Dr. Edward Merchant allowed my due date to lapse significantly. On the day of delivery, I was ignored for hours following the departure of the head nurse. Despite my deteriorating condition, Dr. Merchant refused to intervene and went to sleep in the physician's rest area. A code was eventually called when my blood pressure dropped dangerously low. My previous physician, who was on call, had to intervene to perform a crash emergency C-section. Furthermore, Dr. Merchant falsified my medical records by documenting the event as a "normal uneventful delivery." It was an emergency crash C-section as confirmed by the nurses to me the following day. In a subsequent emergency room visit for a severe allergic reaction, I was dismissed by the triage nurse, Maryann Magdaleno, RN, and sent back to a filthy, crowded waiting room for hours. I eventually went home and was called back at 3:00 AM, at which point my blood pressure was 60/0. While my chart indicates I was seen by a Dr. Stinnett, I never saw a physician during that visit. Despite reporting these incidents to the appropriate oversight agencies and the BRN, I have not received a satisfactory resolution. The hospital has continued to stonewall requests for information regarding staffing schedules and this particular nurse on call that night. I am formally expressing my concerns regarding the unethical and unprofessional conduct I recently experienced from Huntington Hospital medical staff. This behavior compromised my safety and fell well below the expected medical standards for their scope of practice. It is essential that the personnel involved are held accountable for these actions to ensure that future patients do not encounter the same lack of care and professionalism. I trust that you will take the necessary steps to address this matter. These experiences were devastating, and I cannot recommend Huntington Hospital to anyone seeking safe or professional medical care.

I started working with Mark Men's Health around mid-November, so it's been about four months now,…read moreand I can genuinely say the experience has been a game changer. When I first came in, they ran a baseline panel, which was incredibly helpful. I'm in my late thirties, and I learned that my levels were actually below the optimal threshold, something I wouldn't have fully understood without their guidance. That initial clarity alone made the process worth it. For context, I've been consistently working out since I was 22, so about 16 years. I came in already feeling in shape but felt like I had plateaued in many areas in my life, but with very specific goals around increasing muscle mass and optimizing performance and feeling healthier overall. Since starting, I've seen dramatically real, measurable gains in muscle mass (9 lbs in muscle mass), along with noticeable improvements in strength and recovery. Since starting, I've not just seen clear, measurable gains in muscle mass but also dramatic increases in strength. Some of my major lifts have improved by roughly 40-60%, which is something I hadn't experienced in years despite consistent training. Beyond the physical changes, the impact on my overall well-being has been significant. My mood is more stable and positive, my energy is up, and there's been a clear improvement in my sexual health and relationship to my body. I feel more connected, more confident, and overall just healthier. What I also really appreciate is that this hasn't felt like a siloed approach to health. I've been working in tandem with my primary care physician, and when I shared the protocols and care I'm receiving at The Mark, my PCP was genuinely impressed with the level of attention, safety, and medical oversight Mark Men's Health provides. That gave me an extra layer of confidence that I'm doing this the right way. And I have to say, the staff here is exceptional. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed. They take the time to answer every question, never rush you, and operate at a very high level of professionalism. The facility itself reflects that same standard, clean, modern, and thoughtfully run. I would highly recommend this to anyone, at any age, who is curious about where their levels are and how they can feel better in their body. It's not just about numbers, it's about working with a team that's invested in helping you improve your quality of life in a real, sustainable way.

PARKING: You can park on the streets or in their lot in back for a charge. They do take credit cards so that's good. MISC.

A pharmacist came out and said they closed at 8 pm. Before leaving work, I checked the hours in three places online, including Google and Kaiser's own website in two different spots. All said 9 pm. It takes minutes to update hours online so you are not wasting people's time and money. That is basic integrity. There were two people inside waiting and she said they were urgent care patients, so they stay open until 9 pm for urgent care. Given that they had not updated their hours, you would think they could take two minutes to grab my prescription. I had received the text that it was ready and had just driven an hour to pick it up. Integrity feels rare these days. There are things I like about Kaiser and things that are ludicrous. Pros: everything is in one building. Referrals are easier than they used to be. Many appointments can be done online, which is a huge timesaver. The mental health practitioners I have interacted with have been kind and caring. Things that need improvement: I was on a waitlist for over a year to get a therapist. Now that I have one, appointments are still hard to get because there are very few available. My doctor recently had me do labs to change medication. I checked the results myself and saw I have hypothyroidism. No one called me to explain this. I only realized it because I looked up what the labs meant. When I read the symptom list and saw I have nearly all of them, I was shocked I had never been tested before. Ladies, get your hormones checked. Women's health care is still lacking. Which brings me to my IUD insertion. It was so agonizing I almost passed out, so they sent me home with medication to dilate before trying again. What they did not tell me is that the dilation medication caused worse pain than when I had kidney stones. Kaiser does not provide localized pain relief for IUD insertions, and I had already taken the maximum dose of ibuprofen. The first attempt was 40 minutes of agony. The second attempt involved 4 hours of severe dilation pain followed by another 35 minutes of insertion. That does not include the long wait times. They need better training or actual pain management for women. Lastly, I needed an EKG before starting a new medication. When I called, there were no appointments available for weeks, but my doctor needed it within a week. She told me to go to the Pasadena nurse clinic as a walk in and gave me the hours. I booked the far out appointment just in case and went as a walk in. The receptionist said they could not fit me in because they were full and only open two more hours. I asked when to come back and returned at the time he suggested. He then said the nurse who does EKGs would be leaving in an hour and could not see me. This was the second time I had followed their instructions and been turned away. I had rented a car just to get there. He sent me to Glendale. I drove 45 minutes in rush hour and arrived just before closing. The nurse there told me Pasadena should not have sent me away and that they are supposed to take walk ins but keep sending patients to Glendale. They were incredibly kind and saw me even though they were close to closing. I know Kaiser employees likely work in a tough, fast paced system. But with the massive amounts of money insurance companies make, you would think there would be more efficient care, accessible mental health services, better women's health care, updated hours, and policies that are actually honored. Too often patients are treated like cattle, rushed through to get to the next. Wouldn't it be nice if health care actually cared? A gal can dream...
