Family Practice in Santa Monica, CA

“Took my son in for persistent rash and all the staff was very kind. The dr took our concerns seriously and we were able to get prescriptions on site for a $20 copay, which was very convenient. We arrived at 8:10am, just after opening and had just one patient ahead of us.”

“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.”

“I hadn’t regularly seen a physician for the past 10 years. I started going to One Medical about a month ago and I’m really happy with the care that I have received. I see Dr. Clegg and I feel heard and cared about. She doesn’t just want to put a bandaid on an issue, she wants to solve the root cause. I never feel rushed through appointments. In fact, during my first appointment, Dr. Clegg made me laugh! She said, “we’ve got 10 minutes left, want to knock out your pap today?”! I can’t imagine getting this level of care anywhere else. Previous gyno appointments have taken up to two hours of my day (mostly sitting in waiting rooms because they are behind).Since my appointment, my doctor emails me to explain test results and answers any questions I have. Overall, this doctor has made me want to be more involved in preventative care in the future.The office is very nice with a modern design. The front desk staff is knowledgeable and kind. They stick to appointment times and don’t waste your time.I was very impressed with the lab techs. I have deep veins that are difficult to find. It was no problem and the process was smooth and easy. I’ve had my blood drawn twice and it was painless both times!”

“A friend told me about Dr. Ryan. She said give her a try and see what you think! I think she is the most thorough wonderful Doctor I have found in years. She made sure all tests were run for my cough and referred me to an incredible Pulmonary doctor to make sure my lungs were treated. She then did the follow up and called me with all the results after hours! She works hard and cares for her patients! I keep thanking my friend for the referral...I am in good hands! GREAT BEDSIDE MANNERS!”

“Just finished my new patient physical exam and intake with her. I was referred to her by my ObGyn and I am so grateful for it. She was so thorough and efficient to get through a family and personal medical history so quickly. I feel so lucky to have her in my health team. She is wonderful.”

“Dr. Brent Michael is truly exceptional. His remarkable attention to detail and extensive knowledge make every interaction with him a valuable and reassuring experience. Dr. Michael's passion for patient well-being is evident in his dedication to ensuring thorough understanding. He goes the extra mile to explain complex medical information in a way that is accessible and clear. I am immensely grateful for his commitment to patient education and care. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend Dr. Brent Michael to anyone in search of an outstanding and compassionate healthcare professional.”

“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.”
