It seemed like she was hating her job that day. She also seemed combative. I specifically chose her because I wanted to support a WOC medical doctor and thought she might be a good fit but I was sadly mistaken. I didn't even complain but I think she knew she was being a snarky because she offered a subtle apology -- saying she didn't want to leave a bad impression or something along those words. I just told her it was fine but after I left the appointment, I thought about it and realized I really didn't like the way my time there made me feel. Even my daughter noticed it. On the other hand, the front desk stuff were very nice.

From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is welcoming and kid-friendly, which immediately puts both children and parents at ease. The entire staff is incredibly professional, compassionate, and genuinely caring. ALL the Doctor's are phenomenal. They take the time to listen to all concerns, answer questions thoroughly, and provide clear, practical advice. What I appreciate most is their ability to connect with my children, making them feel comfortable and safe during check-ups and vaccinations. The office is well-organized, and appointments are easy to schedule, with minimal wait times. I highly recommend Agoura West Valley Pediatrics to any family looking for exceptional pediatric care. They have created a warm, supportive environment where my children receive the best possible medical attention.

DO NOT let your child see Dr. Weidmen. My son just came from an appointment with him, and it was…read moreabsolutely traumatizing. He gave my son ZERO prep for a nose swab and then very aggressively shoved it up his nose, making my son cry and thrash in reaction. He then used a tongue depressor very forcibly and without warning to do a swab of his throat so aggressively that my son immediately threw up in reaction to it. My son is three years old, and while I understand medical tests can be difficult for them, if the doctor had given me ANY CHANCE to prepare my son for what was about to happen, this could have gone differently. My son was crying, asking what was happening to him, and said he didn't want anyone to touch him anymore. This is not how a three-year-old should feel after a doctor's visit. This type of experience is what makes children scared of Drs. and is completely unnecessary. I will say, outside of this experience, we have loved this practice--especially my son's two primary care providers (although they have both left the practice at this point--sadly). There are so many wonderful doctors and nurses here, but this experience with Dr Weidmen was SO BAD that I had to let other parents know that he should be avoided if possible.

Whether it's a quick check-up or a more stressful situation, he always shows up with patience, warmth, and humor. If you're a new mom or just looking for a pediatrician who will be in your corner, I can't recommend Dr. Bromberg enough. He's been everything we hoped for in a doctor and more.

She cared for our daughter as if she were her own and took the time to thoroughly examine her and explain everything to us. Dr. Honey prescribed medication for our baby, and within the very first day we noticed a huge improvement -- her eczema and heat rash had already started clearing up. We are beyond thankful for Dr. Honey and the care she provided. It's such a relief knowing our daughter is in such caring and capable hands. Highly recommend!

Plenty of parking in the structure and the open lot behind it (free for the first 1.5 hours) but be prepared to walk a little since Costco customers keep the parking lot pretty full. For a much shorter walk, there is also a drop off location and paid Valet parking behind the building. Venue 4 stars: Beautiful building. Access via stairs on the side or an elevator behind the building. The lab which I visited has a separate entrance directly across the offices. Staff 4 stars: Most of my interaction was automated. Lab visits are walk-ins but you do need a referral from your UCLA doctor before you go. Once you enter, you sign in on a tablet and will then start getting text alerts on your phone. When you turn comes, the text will tell you which station to go to. Once you arrive at the station, you are greeted by a lab technician who logs you in and performs the necessary lab work. My lab technician was polite and efficient. Wait Time 4 stars: I am not sure if it is always this good, but I only waited 10 minutes. The Bottom Line 4 stars: A solid option in a pleasant and convenient location. Highly recommended!

During our visit with Dr. Gabriela Sauder at UCLA Health, I requested home health services for my…read more80-year-old father, who is several years post-hemorrhagic stroke (intracerebral). I explained his clinical picture in detail: he remains ambulatory but requires assistance with ambulation, maintains relatively good overall health for his age with minimal polypharmacy, and experiences significant post-stroke agitation that precludes leaving the home for exercise or routine medical appointments. We have canceled numerous visits because coercion elevates his blood pressure and introduces greater physiologic risk. Home health support would facilitate safe mobility, monitoring, and provision of essential supplies such as absorbent pads and adult diapers--standard interventions for maintaining function in elderly stroke survivors who are homebound. Dr. Sauder's immediate and unqualified response was that he would not qualify for home health. She inquired whether he had Medi-Cal; upon learning he did not, she asserted it would provide no benefit and that such services do not include the requested support. When I corrected this misunderstanding--home health agencies routinely assess and provide skilled nursing, therapy, and durable medical equipment for qualifying patients--she retreated to "I haven't evaluated him in over a year." I noted the obvious: she was conducting the evaluation in that moment. Her tone was curt, dismissive, and wholly unreceptive to reasoned dialogue, revealing a troubling lack of clinical curiosity or flexibility. We then reconciled his medication list, which is appropriately sparse: daily finasteride and as-needed low-dose metoprolol, given his consistently low-normal systolic pressures (110-112 mmHg). When statin use was raised, I clarified that we had discontinued it due to intolerable myalgias. Rather than engaging collaboratively, Dr. Sauder questioned the decision with skepticism--"Was that your decision or someone else's?"--implying poor judgment on my part as his healthcare proxy. I emphasized that, at age 80 with a history of hemorrhagic stroke, quality of life must take precedence over aggressive secondary prevention, particularly when statins carry well-documented risks of muscle toxicity. I asked directly whether she believed he should endure ongoing pain. She persisted with lectures on cholesterol reduction and proposed alternative agents, ignoring the nuance that statin use post-hemorrhagic stroke remains controversial in the literature due to potential risks outweighing benefits in frail elderly patients. Her culminating remark was: "Well, if your goal is quality of life, then we should look at END OF LIFE CARE." This statement was not only medically premature and clinically inappropriate for a stable patient managing well at home, but profoundly unprofessional, callous, and indicative of deeper incompetence. In one breath, she dismissed practical, evidence-based supportive care options while pivoting to palliative end-of-life discussions without any preceding assessment of decline, goals-of-care conversation, or palliative care referral. It exposed a disturbing readiness to write off an elderly patient rather than address modifiable barriers to his well-being. This is not patient-centered medicine; it is bureaucratic expediency dressed in a white coat--lazy, arrogant, and beneath the standards expected of a UCLA geriatrician. Such indifference erodes trust and actively harms vulnerable families navigating complex post-stroke care.
