I mean all of the above,

Age 72 with cerebral palsy from birth through the present [forget my Ph.D. :)] i've seen//evaluated my share of clinics. These folks are good through excellent.

A previously undiagnosed coronary problem I've had for years [WHO KNEW?] at Cedars-Sinai's ER is my ONLY REASON for switching.. Drs. Hadikin and Joseph, are terriffic. I simply need a guy who's "hooked in" more closely with Cedars' cardiology unit.

That's NOT most of whomever may read this. The place is first-class. And trust me: I'M ONE OPINIONATED S.O.B!

Best,
Robert M. Aber, Ph.D.

I was forced to leave my doctor I was seeing for the last 16 years. One of the greatest Dr. I had Dr. Thomas Magee. My Chiropractor told me about Dr. Anthony Scarsella, made an appt. and say him early 2009, I liked him, he listens to my questions and answers them to my satisfaction. In general he is a great great doctor. BUT !!!! there is a problem at this office:
I was NEVER able to talk to my doctor on the phone EVER not even once for a quick question.
WAIT !!!! his staff is M E D I O C R E the worst I have ever encountered anywhere probably worldwide. My insurance can enver get a hold of my Dr. because the nurses and the office staff never deliver the messages. A simple prescription took two and a half months for my insurance to fill it and mail it to me because they were UNABLE to reach the doctor for dozage verification. The staff never advised the doctor that my insurance were calling for verification.
I need a new Doctor's office can anyone help?
thx

I needed to find a new Dr. as mine had retired and I asked a couple of people and heard that Pacific Oaks Medical group had a wonderful medical staff. I made an appointment for a flu shot. Mind you I could go to
Target or CVS for a shot that would average out to what my PPO co pay would be. But since I have to pay more this year to keep the same insurance coverage why not use it? I go to the appt. the dr. is great, he orders the shot and to our amazement we are told that the office will not provide me the shot unless I pay an additional $50. Ok. So I ask why when my coverage says that I am 100% covered. I am already paying a premium. I even verify with my insurance co. they say I am covered. Then I am told that the office does not get 100% reimbursed for the shot so they charge $50 for it. If I want to pay it and get the refund from the insurance co. I can do this. WTF am I paying for? I pay a co-pay to come to this office and they want to extort additional cash for something that is already covered. I can afford it, but what about the other people that can't? It is the principal. Why would I pay $50 on top of $30 co-pay to get something on the corner for $25! My advice? Ask for what they (Pacific Oaks Medical Group) charge on top of your full coverage insurance. If you don't have full coverage insurance go somewhere else you will not be able to afford the parking and the visit at the same time.

If you are looking for a stress-free, extremely comfortable, and caring Doctors' Office......THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO!!! I have NEVER been to a doctors office that has not kept me in the waiting room for AT LEAST 30 minutes.....I ALWAYS get back to see the Doc within 10 minutes of entering the front door!!! Talk about FAST service...and it ALWAYS comes with a SMILE. Not only are the doctors the BEST I have ever seen, the staff is right there with them. Dr. Scarcella is a Doctor that knows what he is talking about and Dr. Skiba isn't only a witty, warmhearted guy, he is also a fountain of "antibiotics" ......meaning that I never have to go back for the same sickness! Not to leave out....the guy at the front window..... WOW Talk about "Hot"!!! He has the best smile and "How are you Doing" attitude EVER! I cannot leave out SHARRON......What A Gal !! How does she remember EVERY PATIENT!!! James is always around to help AT ANY TIME!!! SWEET GUY .........Last, but SURELY not least..... TERRY! What can I say......This gentleman has kept me financially secure in this economic downturn. When I have been in the dumps about money..... Terry has assured me confidence that everything will and "has" gotten better. He has helped me have more confidence in Pacific Oaks Medical Group than I could have imagined. Thanks to a wonderful 4 years and GOING to my !!!healthy!!! functioning
PACIFIC OAKS IS THE BEST.....BETTER THAN THE REST!

I called to find out if they would accept my insurance and the gentleman that helped me was short rude and seemed somewhat slow...

They really need to look into their customer service
