Discharge planning is VERY POOR!…read more My dad was there for almost a month for a respiratory problem. The ICU and PCCU nurses are the good ones taking care of my dad but once he got transferred to med surg - you can't even find any nurses on the floor and there was a lot of empty beds and still can't find staff. Left my dad with a skin breakdown from poor quality of care. The social worker/ case manager was not efficient with discharge planning... discharging without proper equipments at home is an UNSAFE discharge!

My mother has now had two surgeries at UCLA Santa Monica Medical Center over the past three years,…read moreand both experiences have been outstanding. Every single staff member we have encountered--from the physicians and nurses to the technicians and support staff--has been first rate. The level of professionalism, knowledge, and attentiveness throughout the hospital is truly remarkable. The teams are incredibly thorough, compassionate, and accommodating, and it's clear that patient care is taken very seriously at every level. During stressful moments, the staff consistently took the time to explain things clearly, check in frequently, and ensure my mother was comfortable and well cared for. It genuinely feels like the "A team" works here. The coordination between departments and the overall attentiveness of the staff make a difficult experience much easier for patients and families. I can absolutely see why UCLA is considered the number one hospital in California. Our family is deeply grateful for the exceptional care my mother has received here.

I hated for her to leave. I highly recommend this hospital.

This is for the Emergency Room…read more Boyfriend was treated twice over two months, as we live in the Marina. Trust me, if there were ANY other choice close by, we would have taken it. Security staff is incredibly rude, one guy in particular. I really hope he never has an emergency necessitating a rush to the ER with your loved one to be treated like he treated us for no reason. We don't want to be there. We need help. Sorry if we are bothering you. You should find a job not working with the public and definitely not in medical care. In early June, boyfriend passed out and fell at 1 am on a Saturday night. He must have hit his head, as he was disoriented, confused and had garbled speech. Thinking he was having a stroke, I called the paramedics, who arrived right away and rushed him to this ER. Over the course of several hours, they checked miscellaneous things, gave him fluids (as he was dehydrated), and finally checked him into the hospital around 5 am. The next day, they did a CT scan, found nothing and released him. Where they FAILED is that they did not schedule a follow up CT scan, which necessitated, in August, two months later, an emergency embolism procedure and bilateral subdural hematoma evacuation (brain bleed surgery) at the excellent Providence Little Company of Mary hospital in Torrance. In early August, boyfriend was having severe headaches, motor skills issues, and foggy thinking, so he came home early from work and we went to ER again at 2:30 pm (again having to deal with that absolute jerk of a security guard), where they ran a CT scan and MRI, and guess what? He had two brain bleeds (bilateral subdural hematomas) and needed to be transferred to a hospital with a neurology department, which took several hours. Absolutely ridiculous. When I dared to ask what was taking so long, I was snarkily told they were working on it, and that there were no available beds in LA with a neurology center, and they needed to find a hospital and transport to it, which took HOURS. He was not transported by ambulance to the hospital until 9:30 pm. As luck would have it, he was taken to Little Company of Mary, where he was scheduled for surgery first thing the next morning. I will be doing my research to find another ER near us. This place is terrible. The doctors and nurses do an okay job, but the amount of time taken to care for patients, especially for an emergency as in my boyfriend's case, is absolutely unacceptable.

You get multiple opinions at one time and there's always someone with a new idea. Science is alive and well at Cedars Sinai. The staff is amazing. The nurses and the clinical partners work as a team. No one ever waits for the other one to do their job. They do their jobs together. It's very proficient and efficient. Even the cleaning people are friendly. They always have a smile on a good morning. I think whoever hires staff at Cedars deserves accolades for their ability to find the best of the best in every aspect of the hospital. Believe it or not I enjoyed the food. I more than often ordered the salmon and the sweet pea soup. I was moved to a long-term care Hospital and I really miss the salmon :0) I would give Cedars Sinai 10 stars if I could.

Read how he invested his time and energy into my health. I credit him with me changing my habits and lifestyle. https://yelp.to/qTKq/LCu4VzOTg9 I've seen Dr. Nikoukari for over 10 years and in that time he has become an integral part of my health, a confidant, and a friend. This review is focused on the 2020 visit. In the past few months this year, I had used the video and in-person calls for health related issues. When scheduling a health call it was exactly as what you'd expect, quick, convenient, and the familiarity of having your doctor know details with all your chart information available. The in-person visit is actually really efficient. You go to the office and there's a table saying you'd need to wait, the staff come by and ask you Covid related questions, and then your whisked you're the room. You don't even need to wait in the lobby. All procedures are done in the room including blood draws. Of course, you go to the restroom still for urine samples, haha. Overall I like what they've done and had no issues whatsoever. If you're looking to change your primary doctor, you can't go wrong with Dr. Nik.

Unfortunately, I've had to visit this ER more times than I'd like, but I've consistently been treated with dignity, compassion, and the level of care my situation requires. At the time of this review, there is ongoing construction, but if you're coming to the ER, that's probably going to be the least of your concerns. The staff has always made a difficult experience a little easier, and I'm grateful for the care I've received. 4/5 stars.

Outstanding Medical Team - Truly Exceptional Care…read more I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the entire Emergency Department team at Cedars-Sinai Marina del Rey Hospital who were on duty from May 30 to May 31, 2026. I arrived at the hospital suffering from severe pain, serious vein complications, and ongoing issues related to thrombosis. From the moment I entered the Emergency Department, I was treated with professionalism, compassion, respect, and genuine concern for my well-being. I would especially like to recognize Mike from the MRI department. Despite what was clearly a very busy shift, Mike demonstrated extraordinary patience, kindness, and professionalism. He carefully explained every step of the process, helped reduce my anxiety, and treated me with dignity and respect throughout my visit. His calm and caring attitude made a tremendous difference during a very difficult time. I would also like to sincerely thank Rachael Anita Utech, PA-C, for her outstanding medical care. Her professionalism, attention to detail, medical knowledge, and compassionate approach were truly remarkable. It was immediately clear that she genuinely cared about her patients and was fully committed to providing the highest level of care. The nurses and the entire medical staff deserve special recognition as well. Due to my vein condition and thrombosis-related complications, obtaining IV access was particularly challenging. Nevertheless, the staff handled everything with exceptional skill, patience, confidence, and professionalism. Every member of the team worked together seamlessly and made me feel safe and cared for. Over the years, I have visited many medical facilities, but this experience was different. I did not feel like I was simply a patient in a hospital. I felt as though I was surrounded by people who genuinely cared about me as a person. The atmosphere was so warm and supportive that it felt more like being welcomed by family than being treated in an emergency room. I respectfully ask the hospital administration and medical leadership to recognize and commend the physicians, nurses, MRI staff, and all team members who worked this shift. These professionals represent the very best of medicine and are a credit to Cedars-Sinai. Thank you to everyone who helped me during one of the most difficult moments of my life. Your dedication, compassion, professionalism, and humanity will never be forgotten. With deepest respect and gratitude, G.V.Rusnak Marina del Rey, California

I had a traumatic birth experience at UCLA Health…read more Teaching hospital: Dr. Brianne D. Romeroso, MD was texting on her phone when she entered my labor and delivery room. She didn't interact with me at all during labor. Only the resident doctor did and she was smugged. I asked for no resident doctors, but patients don't have a choice at the hospital. Dr. Romeroso only chatted with me right after my surgury. Rotating doctors: You may not know who will be there for you when you deliver your baby. NICU: This unit was excellent - care and staff. Billing: They will have non-medical staffs walk into your post partnum room to pay for the hospital services. Do not pay if you're using insurance. The claim should be processed by your insurance. If you pay while still at the hospital, you and the insurance could end up double paying for the service. They won't proactively inform you of the overpayment and credit you the amount.
