    Be aware, check your coverage. This is not urgent care. You could be billed as New Patient, way more than urgent care copay.

    I will say I agree with the two positive reviews posted a few years back. As one said, he is…read moreawesome! He is professionally way above the norm, worthy of high praise both as a skilled and knowledgeable doctor and as a kind and caring person. Having said that, the only thing I think I could add to the reviews is that I have never had to wait to see him. He does not seem to over schedule as many doctors do. I recommend him highly. He has a website with a video that is worth checking out. It gives you a feel for his approach to his profession. https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=BFKBq6bgcrg

    Dr. Whitney is AWESOME! He's so incredibly attentive to everything I needed. Seriously, It's been…read morea few years since I've been to the doctor, and I definitely was a little nervous going in. I probably am THAT patient that some doctors get irritated with, because I went in with a list of items that we needed to chat about or get referrals for. And as we talked, he made a mental note of each one. He fully addressed each and every thing I wanted to discuss and then moved onto the next. For me, this appointment crossed a TON off my to-do list as it was so productive. I think we can all agree that we've walked out of a doctor's office and said "oh shoot, he didn't tell me about ____". With Dr. Whitney, you'll never have to worry about that. After the fact, Dr. Whitney personally followed up with me, and advised me he'd submitted my referrals and I should be hearing back soon. I've never had such personable attention from any Doctor's office let alone one Doctor specifically!

    I have been a patient of Dr. Etedali for a few years now. She was referred to me by a friend I…read moretrust and I couldn't be happier. She has helped me with so many issues regarding my health and overall well being. She is never quick to just prescribe meds and send me on my way... She takes the time to listen and talk through all the options. I have referred friends and colleagues to her and I don't refer on a whim... all of them will say the same about her. I had to see her husband once when she was out of town and I found him to be just as caring. I absolutely love that the office is a converted house. It feels so warm and welcoming. Going to the large medical groups feels so sterile and like I am just another patient they have to quickly diagnose and move on. Dr. Etedali is relaxed and easy to talk to even for the more delicate conversations. She is the first doctor I have had that I actually look forward to seeing. I will continue to keep her as my doctor as long as she is in practice.

    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.

    Dr Derek is the most informing, thoughtful, responsible doctor. I kinda love that he's real and…read morereally THINKS through what the solutions COULD be. he's helped me solve massive gastrointestinal issues, (full gut reset) hormonal issues, mood issues. He's been there in the ways I WANT a provider to show up: tools in hand, extensive knowledge, and listening for what I want in the process. I recommend him HIGHLY. There's usually a long wait to get a new appointment - and I say - WAIT if you can.

    Dr. Lawrence is awesome. From my very first contact right through today's appointment the doc get…read moreit! He listens, he asks questions he answers questions. 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!

    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.

    In 2021 I had a reasonably good experience during my first meeting and subsequent physical exam,…read morealthough Dr. Perez was rather stressed throughout. I gave him the benefit of the doubt since he runs his own practice and is only a few blocks from our home. So Dr. Perez became my primary physician for my health insurance. In 2022 Dr. Perez's office sent several reminders for my annual physical which I needed to schedule. The reason for this review is on my third visit in late 2022, I came in at 8:30am due to a very painful hand with stiches. AFTER paying for his services, discussing the 2022 physical I still needed with his friendly assistant, and then waiting ~30 minutes in increasing pain. Dr. Perez refused to help me with what was a spreading hand infection - I needed antibiotics immediately! After he refused to even look at my hand - AFTER I had paid and waited & told him how much pain I was in - I subsequently spent hours driving around looking for an urgent care that FINALLY give me the antibiotics I really needed. At this point I had puss coming out from between the stitches and my hand was burning red. Healthtopia in Leucadia came through for me! So why did Dr. Perez refuse to even look at my infected hand and provide any help (although I urgently needed antibiotics for the infection) AFTER I had already paid and met with his assitant... Because he was still unhappy ( a year later...) with his interactions and reaction with my wife during the very stressful time of COVID. I feel this doctor is not following the basic fundamental medical Hippocratic oath, "first, do no harm". When I had a spreading infection in my hand (it was burning red and puss was coming out of the stitches) and he choose to focus on his personal issues he had with my wife (from a year ago!) instead of my urgent health problem in front of him. Lastly, he said I was using him to get a quick appointment, which he did not appreciate and and another reason he would not help me with my infected hand.
