An update to my review as of 1/20/2026: We continue to be batted between UCLA telling us to call…read moreour insurance, and our insurance (Cigna) to call UCLA due to them (correctly) stating they do not set the prices, and only UCLA can help due to them charging us at a special faculty rate (despite special faculty rate NOT being the appropriate categorization for a primary care visit), and not informing us beforehand that this would be the case. Once we finally reach someone to talk to at UCLA, we are told a supervisor will look into it and then get no response for a month, only for us to proactively follow up and be put through the same claims process again with no help in sight. Truly, one of the worst healthcare experiences we have had. Over $1000 to get 5-10 minutes with a primary care Dr to request a an antidepressant that I have taken for years, and requiring a follow up Drs appointment to charge hundreds of dollars a second time to even be able to receive a refill of the medication. I hope my experience informs others and they choose a different healthcare provider group. Not only is there nobody to go to for help, the UCLA billing department actively does NOT want to help you, and unnecessary follow-up appointments are booked in order to extract as much money as possible from a patient into their healthcare system.

I am very happy that Dr. Kershaw accepted me as a new patient. He is very thorough and listens and explains each step of the way. He ordered some tests for me, along with follow-up appointments to discuss the results. Dr. Kershaw is personable and very knowledgeable and intelligent. I recommend him highly.

I'm dismayed and honestly at a loss for words and understanding about why a physician would be so…read morereluctant to help a patient. Dr. Sim was nice in person. However, I waited a year to get in to see him, as a primary provider, and since then, it's been a struggle to get any treatment or even a referral. It's so bad that I'm now driving to LA for healthcare in hopes of being treated like the adult with a clean history that I am. Dr. Sim's office always seemed to treat me with unwarranted suspicion or, at the very least, zero benefit of the doubt. I work hard and a lot and don't have time for a doctor who will always make me jump through hoops, and pay a large copay, to get simple treatment or a referral.

While my initial appointment with him took awhile to schedule (there is a shortage of providers here in SB), he was well worth the wait.

I am thankful to have a PCP as professional and helpful as Dr. Sim.
