Bayside Medical Center

I’ve had the absolutely nightmare of being sent here on four occasions by my employer. Even with an appointment, it would be thirty minutes in waiting room, be placed in a room to wait 30 minutes for Doctor who I would only see for a check up. Then 25 minutes of waiting to get my paperwork. The staff is nice, but regardless if the waiting room is busy or not, you’ll be there at least an hour and a half (with appointment!)

I’ve been here 2 times for a drug test and the first time I waited over an hour and there was only 1 person ahead of me. Today I came back unfortunately and there’s 2 people ahead of me. Good lord Ima gonna be here forever … All I gotta do is pee in a cup I don’t understand why does it take so long. It’s not like their waiting area is jam packed full of people! … Smh

Was empty when i was there but took little bit of time for my test to be conducted. Overall a 3 * experience.

Guys, AVOID Bayside Medical Urgent Care in Hawthorne, CA at all costs. I went there at 8:45 am and left at 11:05 am with no diagnosis or anything. The doctor never even saw me or planned to.
The physician assistant did an X-​ray and told me nothing was broken. Obviously nothing was broken, I wouldn’t be so calm or even at urgent care if it were broken. She didn’t give me any type of knee support (she told me I had to buy one and I asked what kind of knee support and she didn’t know). All I was told was you should see your primary doctor.
I firmly but politely told her that I came to urgent care for a diagnosis from a doctor and something to help with it, not to be told «go to your doctor» and I had been to an urgent care before and was never refused a knee support. I then asked to just take my X-​rays and leave since nothing can be done.
I guess that made her mad cause she pretty much ran out that door and SHUT it on me when she knows that I’m LIMPING, in pain and that I’m carrying my school bag filled with my books. (Yes, it took so long that I was doing homework)
Worst urgent care ever and never going back. I left there exactly how I went in, except now I’m pissed and my knee hurts more from trying to keep up behind her very fast walking.

this place is crowded.
this place is not clean.
my nurse’s uniform was caked in dirt.
brown dirt caked into the black scrub top.
xray?
no lead cover.
very long wait.
doctor was bent over he was so old.

It was pointless for me to come here. They take like 2 hours to call you and then when the physician come to see you all she says is she recommends you to go to your primary doctor. Like really??? If I’m here is for a reason

I was privileged to shadow the medical staff at Bayside Medical Center. Having over 3 years experience as a «Clinical Care Extender» and «Patient Ambassador», patients’ needs are of the utmost importance. Delivering health care like UPS delivers boxes, I assure you, is not in their mission statement.
The staff at Bayside gave exceptional care, time, and attention to all their patient’s questions and concerns. Patient census at this facility were steady, and there were days that the census was high. I do understand that long waits are so agitating because patients may feel as though their time isn’t being respected by the practice. However, instead of letting patients assume the worst the staff at Bayside provided an explanation for the wait and gave periodic updates so that their patients wouldn’t feel forgotten.
I highly recommend service rendered by Bayside for their professionalism and for treating their patients as people first.

Went there this this past week for service. The receptionist was cheerful and upbeat which was refreshing. The rest of the office staff had a ho-​hum demeanor which isn’t bad but different from the receptionist. The Dr./PA I spoke to had a personable bedside manner which was appreciated as I had to drag my self in there for treatment. Even showed some empathy cause he had a similar ailment before so he knew how if felt. He explained everything well, answered all of my questions and didn’t feel rush which I like cause I’ve had Dr in the past that tended to cut me off while trying to explain symptoms as well as I feel I have to «pull» information out of them. Gave me the proper medication and am now on the mend. Hope people have same experience with this Dr. You’ll know him when you see him. He looks similar to Prince Harry of Wales,
Only reason it doesn’t get 5 stars is the usual wait time I get when I go see a Dr. I went there for urgent care. I was in and out of there in about 2 ½ hours which I suppose is better than waiting in the emergency room for a hospital for more than but still. I have medical insurance and what I had was run of the mill. I don’t get it. Fill out paper work; then wait;, then fill out more paper work; then wait some more; fill out paper work and pay copay; wait some more and finally I get called back! I get my vitals measured then am taken in the backroom to wait for the Dr. for … 30… more…minutes. Damn!

I came to Bayside for a physical for work and the service was excellent. There was no long wait, the staff was very helpful, and they knew exactly how to fill out all my forms. I returned afterward for some results, and again, service was efficient and prompt. Bayside made my visit an ease. I will only going to them from now. Thanks!

I really like the service here. I’ve been to other places and they are too unprofessional it’s scary. But I like the friendliness here. The one whose made a difference in my visits here is the girl in the front. She’s always smiling. Makes me feel welcomed and comfortable to be there.

First of all, I don’t understand where all these negative reviews are coming from! The last few reviews seem to be coming from some cousins or sisters or something because they look staged! I had excellent service when I went to this medical facility for a drug screen and physical for work! The staff there was extremely professional and very helpful while being very friendly. When I checked in I was immediately greeted with smiles and assured that I will be seen promptly, which I was. The medical assistants and the PA were very knowledgeable detailed and patient with my concerns and questions about the process. It took about an hour to complete, which is about the right amount of time for the type of processes I was undergoing, and I will definitely recommend this location to all my coworkers should they need treatment in the future. Thank you to all the staff at Bayside! Your attention to your clients’ well being is beyond reproach… Keep up the good work!

Came here to get a drug test for my job. Took them 2 hours to call me in for a urine test that took 2 minutes. They tried to act professional but right outside the door where I was going to take a piss, there were random old guys crowding around trying to talk to the nurse. Why the heck were they standing there? Talk about no organization and just plain unprofessional. For all the trouble I went through coming over here and waiting forever, at least I passed and got started working the next day. For any future jobs, I hope they don’t make me come to this place.

Terrible. They were paid a handful of money to come down to the site and what do you know… They’re over an hour late. Cool guys.

This place sucks!!! The doctors don’t even look like doctors! The nurses take for ever and ever and ever!
If you dont have to don’t waste your time coming to this place! I was surprised to see the good reviews of this place. Maybe it was the nurses that wrote them haha
AVOID!!!

HORRIBLE!!! PLACE TO GO … i waited 6hrs with my child sick in the waiting room and left with out being seen… i don’t recommend this place to no one there is no excuse why a child should wait that long to be seen by a doctor… specially if their facility is consider a urgent care

I went to Bayside medical last week with an EXTREMELY bad cough of 5 days, Fever of 101.5, phlegm, dizziness and all the symptoms of a really bad infection. I had noticed the good reviews of this «Urgent care» vs. Reliant Immediate Care (by the airport) so I decided to go there for that reason. Big mistake!
I LOVE Unilocal, should write reviews MORE but I really come here just for info on the services I seek. The good reviews for this doctors office should have been highlighted for those with WORKMANS COMP issues and nothing else!
Looking around at the abundance of crutches, I noticed that I was the ONLY person in the waiting room not trying to sue the boss or pass a drug test. I felt alone as my cough and cold sweats made me stand out. How I longed for the simple annoyances of the usual waiting room with sneezing unruly kids, unpleasant odors and the fear of catching something WORSE than what I came in with.
What Fun!
But not at Bayside. All these people had cold hard poker faces worried they would either exhibit the wrong symptoms of a career ending injury, or severely fail the drug test still hung-​over from the night before.
Yea, my sick ass got no love there.
BUT I must say the staff was VERY helpful! The young lady who took my temperature and blood pressure was extremely friendly and sweet. Even letting me skip the weigh in we all get at the Doctors not wanting to be reminded of my craving for Banana Cream Pie that week ;-)
The entire staff was upbeat, concerned and very helpful!
A+
I’m writing this Unilocal to complain about the Doctor, the person who’s professionalism should shine the most! The Doctor whose last name is the SAME as a popular rice cooker car company that I can’t be «speCIVIC» about because of the Unilocal last name rule.
Yea, he’s that skinny, young Doctor who really doesn’t care about you as a patient, but cares more about the modified B.M.W. in the parking lot a prick like that is sure to drive. Anywho… Not sure what car he drives but when it came to me he barely spent two minutes with me in the examination room. Very little to almost NO eye contact to even PRETEND he was remotely interested in hearing what was ailing me. He ordered just a couple of x-​rays with no blood work eventho I revealed my LONG history of serious Illness concerning pneumonia. After the x-​ray, he swiftly entered the exam room, handed me a prescription slip and turned around to walk out!
I had to abruptly stop him by literally asking him to STOP!!! **I had to ask the doctor what was wrong with me because he certainly wasn’t going to tell me!** He told me it was the beginning of pneumonia and prescribed a Z-​pack which is an antibiotic. He said that he would have just sent me home with some Cough Syrup if I hadn’t told him about my long battles catching pneumonia several times in life.
Go figure!
An Urgent care visit for which I had to wait 3 HOURS in the waiting room for and would probably cost my insurance company like 800 bucks he wanted to send my sick ass home with Robitussin? JERK.
Long story short, Dr.***** SUCKS! Great Staff but DO NOT visit this doctor’s office unless you’re Workman’s Comp.
In that case, Good Luck and sue the pants off the dastards!

I needed a pre-​employment physical for a new teaching job. It was easy to make an appointment, and the staff was friendly and efficient for my check-​in. I arrived early, and was seen by a Physician’s Assistant a few minutes before my appointment time. She was friendly, thorough, and professional. She spent quality time with me and answered all of my questions.

Just last month, I was feeling bad and had this terrible cough, sore throat, headache and a bunch of other stuff. I was worried that it might be something more serious but didn’t want to have to wait at Harbor UCLA for 18 hours to see a medical student, so I went here. Prices were ridiculously affordable if you don’t have health insurance (like me, but they apparently take a variety of insurances). I saw this PA there who was kind, understanding, listened to me while sitting down and giving me the time and attention I’ve never had before at other regular family doctor’s clinics. She recommended after listening to my lungs that we should get a chest x-​ray to ensure that there was no pneumonia because she thought that there was some unusual sound in there. Next thing you know, I get an x-​ray and within 15 minutes, had my diagnosis of an acute bronchitis, a prescription and some peace of mind. I will DEFINITELY come back here for my regular checkups and whatnot when I get my new job’s health care plan. They are so thorough, kind, fast and considerate, it’s hard to imagine this being the way they treat their customers normally compared with all my past experiences. Love you guys!

I was injured on the job the other day and was taken here to receive treatment. The staff here are very professional and courteous. They all seem very caring and I felt like I was really taken care of during the few hours I was here. If you need to receive treatment for an injury that happened on the job you should think about coming here!

I went here to take a physical for my new job. Everyone was super friendly and efficient. This is the first place I’ve been to in California where EVERYONE has an awesome attitude! Thanks guys!
