The first thing that you notice about Dr. Lavi's office is that there's plenty of free parking. That might seem frivolous, but really in this city, not having to spend 20 minutes searching for a $10 parking spot is big. The second thing that you notice is that their waiting room is immaculate, if spartan. I like knowing that I'm not financing my doctor's fine art collection. Third, the staff who greets you, takes your vitals are all courteous, efficient, well trained professionals. You never have to wait for more than a few minutes. Fourth, Dr. Lavi's office is a teaching clinic, so you will see a student, initially, who will interview you regarding the reasons for your visit. These people are eager to get it right so they listen, take lots of notes, and carefully ask good questions. Then, they brief Dr. Lavi. Here's the advantage. None of them have heard the same complaints 1000 times. None them look at your problems as routine. None of them are burned out. Fifth and most important, is Dr. Lavi. He always greets you with a smile, like you're a dear friend. Not only is he genuinely concerned for your well being, he's whip smart enough to figure out a way for you to get better. He has a knack for combining experience and intuition with science to figure out what's wrong with you and how to fix it. He knows how to navigate the insurance system that you'll get the right specialists. His office is very good at following up with test results, unlike most primary care doctors. Dr. Lavi is a man who loves his job and his patients. For him, healing people isn't about his ego. It is about service and doing good for the people who depend upon him and he does it very well. The only exceptions is with referrals. The woman who does those seems indifferent about whether or not a specialist is the correct specialist, nor if there is another specialist who is closer. She is defensive and loathe to correct herself if she has made a mistake.

I have been in this clinic couple of times as a patient and every time I received the best service which is possible! They have great staffs which helped me a lot with my questions! Dr.Lavi is my primary doctor for couple of years and I really like him. He is not just an amazing doctor he is also a great human. They also have great Physician Assistants ( Dena and Cassidy ) who are very experienced and knowledgeable! Really recommend this clinic.

Dr. Lavi is the most caring doctor I've been to. He takes the time to get to know you and your health issues. Every time I return for my yearly exams, he always asks about how me and my family are doing :) He truly cares about his patients. I also love the medical assistants! They are so patient and understanding. The clinic also takes lots of different insurances. They made sure that all of my referrals were compatible with my insurance as well. I highly recommend this clinic!

I went to this facility to get a second opinion because i didn't feel comfortable with another doctor. Although I was running late, I was helped right away, filled out the necessary paper work and waited an additional 15 minutes to get called back to start my exam. Placed in my exam room and within minutes a student comes in and starts asking detailed questions (none of which I mind) about why I was there. After she was done, either a doctor or PA returned and we had another brief discussion about what plan of action would be best for me. Since I was a new walk-in patient, with no medical insurance they were limited to what they could offer. And since I was paying cash, I was limited in what I could pay for out of pocket. Anyway, I walked away feeling like i found a doctor who cared and could provide me the level of care I deserved. I quickly called my provider and switched to their facility to follow up and keep a step ahead of my healthcare needs.

Dr. Lavi is hands down the best doctor I have had the pleasure of training under. He's a patient advocate who truly cares about what happens when his patient leaves the clinic. He remembers them by name and backstory (impressive because he sees a ton of patients) and formulates treatment plans WITH the patients. It's a teaching clinic, which is beneficial because that means they follow current guidelines and literature.

Dr. Lavi is Hands Down The greatest doctor I have ever seen. I have been going to Dr. Lavi and the team for almost 3 years. I just came out of a doctor's office with such an opposite experience, I wanted to write a Second review on United Healthcare on La Cienega. At this dentist office (not at Dr' Lavi's), the doctor rushed me, wouldn't let me handle everything in one visit, and shewed me off - which was absolutely about money. I felt so uncared for and what a pain that I'd have to return just to handle the "other 2 topics" I had wanted to address at my appointment there. I didn't know there was a limit of 3 questions per visit! Well, this is not how things are handled at Dr' Lavi's. In their office, I can address as many items as possible, and not only will he listen and very personally care about each and every one, he also has additional staff to offer perspective, advice, the paperwork-everything. How can I explain? This is not an office about saving time and making money, it's an office that cares about helping people and giving. So grateful to this Doctor and the spirit of the entire office.

The doctor here is great but, the downside is that the wait is LONG expect to be here for two or more hours and you don't even get seen by the doctor first you get seen by a student which takes even longer!! And you will wait even more if you are a walk in!!

This clinic is absolutely wonderful! I heard of it from a friend who told me they accept same day walk-ins, which is super convenient. They also had tons of parking spots which is a plus. As soon as I walked into the office, I was greeted by the friendly staff and immediately felt comfortable. There was a little bit of a wait in the waiting room, but it wasn't too bad as the staff let me know ahead of time. I was first seen by a friendly student, who took a thorough history and addressed all of my questions and concerns. Then, Dr. Lavi came in and also spoke with me. He is very knowledgeable. He listened to all of my concerns, answered all of my questions with patience, and gave me great advice! You can tell he truly cares about all of his patients. Overall, I highly recommend this place!

Dr. Lavi is a very sincere and compassionate physician. There is often a wait to be seen, as expected with any medical office, but most of the time they're pretty quick about getting you in a room right away. Dr. Lavi has always addressed all my complaints and has provided me with the referrals I need. The one unique thing about this place is that it is a teaching clinic, meaning a student (probably medical student) will see/examine you before the physician. But they tell you beforehand, so it isn't a surprise. Plus, I'm a huge proponent for education. Highly recommend!
