“I was excited when I realized I could go there right when I needed to.i didn't have an apointment or anything u can just go.it was fast and efficient.i loved the location for me and the dr did great to treat me.”

“I signed up with this medical service offered by Amazon, and I love it. Everything was done from my desk with a zoom call, the communications were excellent, the doctor (you get to pick your own doctor) was the best ever, the follow-up was the best I ever received. I did get a prescription which they called into the pharmacy of my choice, although Amazon could have also had mailed it to me. I love that Amazon One Medical has a phone app which is fantastic to use. This entire experience is a great example on how the medical profession should be. I love it.”

“Dr. Ryan is the absolute best. She is smart, personable, funny and ultimately cares. I have been her patient for almost 25 years and she has helped me through so much.i refer everyone I know to her.”

“With several decades of experience, as an impatient patient, I feel qualified to judge the quality of my health care providers. I've also learned that in life one almost always needs to qualify their judgments and opinions, with the phrase, "so far". In my 16 years living in L.A., I had not found a primary care doc who I felt was a keeper. A few months ago I asked a neighbor if he knew of someone and he recommended Dr. Patricia Y. Chang, who practices family medicine at UCLA. Dr. Chang has been at UCLA for around 5 years and practiced in Canada for around 20 years prior. I believe her Canadian training is beneficial to her patients, as Canada seems to be superior, in training physicians to understand and treat the whole person. In the roughly 3 months and 3 visits I've had with Dr. Chang, I am convinced that she is top notch, as a physician, and, no less importantly, as a person. Dr. Chang is extremely knowledgeable, a great listener, responsive (i.e., between visits) and caring. She also understands how all our systems (body and mind) are connected. In listening to my medical history, Dr. Chang identified a relatively rare issue, which no one has ever thought of or explored and very few would. "So far", I expect that Dr. Patricia Y. Chang will be one of the best physicians I have ever consulted.”

“Dr Buddeberg has been patient with me, a total hypochondriac. She will take her time to explain to me why I can't have the disease I think I have instead of sending me to many specialists. And, she is very funny :)”

“I have seen Dr. Michael and his team for almost 3 years and his new group staff he has now has made a big difference.

Specially, Shanthely for her kindness. She is always friendly, helpful, and welcoming, making every visit a pleasant experience from the moment you walk in the door.
The entire office is well organized, efficient, and dedicated to providing exceptional patient care. It's refreshing to find a medical team that genuinely values its patients.

I know Dr. Michael take his time every time he see his patients and I'm willing to wait because I know he will be giving me the same time of care and I wont be rushed out.
I am very grateful for the care I receive and would highly recommend.

Thank you
Dr. Michael and team!!!”

“As a patient of the good doctor's for 40+years, I joined Yelp today in order to state explicitly that Dr. Hopper is a fantastic doctor (and to heartily endorse Lynn S's comments below). I never miss my annual check-up and, over the years, he has helped me numerous times. One example, of many, was the time Dr. Hopper gave me a diagnosis over the phone (based purely on my description of a few symptoms) which subsequent testing proved to be 100% correct. We are lucky that he has chosen not only to practice in our community, but also to be a vibrant part of Santa Monica. In medical matters, as in so much of human endeavor, there is simply no substitute for experience. My doctor has this in great abundance, along with something of equal merit: compassion. If you would like to benefit, as I have over many years, from the care of an experienced professional, Doctor Hopper is an obvious choice. Highly recommended.”
