Playa Medical Plaza

How fortunate is Playa Vista and the surrounding area to have this so close by?! We had to go in for my son’s UTI on a Sunday night. No wait at all. Carmen was attentive and took initiative with offering my three kids crayons and paper and set them up at a center table perfect for kids with chairs that pull out from under the table. We then saw Alonso followed by Dr. Tourah, who were also very friendly and they addressed him not just me and my various questions, and were sensitive to his young age of 9 while doing the exam.
I am glad I now have a place to go to if needed, and would recommend them based on my experience. I hope they continue to grow and prosper.

I was very hesitant going here because of the terrible reviews, but nothing else close by was open so I thought we’d give it a shot. They were wonderful! I can’t imagine why everyone has complained about it so much. We went on a Sunday evening around 6, had no wait, and were seen as soon as we were done paperwork. The nurse was very friendly and efficient, the physician was kind and knowledgable, and the receptionist was nice and willing to waive our copay for a follow up visit. They spent a lot of time with my husband, and were willing to prescribe reasonable and necessary pain medicine rather than make him feel like a drug-​seeker as other doctors have in the past. I will certainly be returning if we need urgent care in the future.

I was in town visiting and got very ill. Luckily this place was the only urgent care open and there was no wait. I am from the Texas and we are all about Southern hospitality. The place was amazing! The night staff was kind, patient and they went above and beyond to make my experience comfortable. I was a little worried since we walked in a little before they were about to close, but everyone was still so kind. The doctor was also amazing and very kind as well. I did have to go back for a follow up and the afternoon staff was great as well. I highly recommend this place!

Office manager Grace promised to help me resolve the invoice issue. Waiting to hear from them. Hoping the problem gets solved, soon.

Brought my daughter without any appointment on a Saturday and saw a doctor within 20 minutes. Got a call back within the next 3 days to check how she was doing. We had a good experience with this medical center and will definitely go back when needed.

I was treated for a fracture in my back. My experience was very uncomfortable. For starters, twice now this clinic has assured me that our very comprehensive health insurance would cover the bills. However, this was incorrect. Accordingly, the office staff is very disorganized. I had one appointment scheduled where I waited 1.5 hours to see the doctor. When I was taken for an x-​ray, multiple people were in and out of the room just to bring in supplies, distracting the person taking the x-​ray. All the while I was laid out on a table in my skivvies.
I do not have confidence that the x-​ray was even usable because it was in such a makeshift situation. The doctor who treated me seemed competent, but the overall organization of this clinic is very concerning. I will not be returning.
Additionally, my husband was treated for strep throat, visited for 15 minutes, and the cost was $ 650 (we were assured by office staff that the insurance would cover it, not so). Totally insane.
Overall unprofessional and pretty concerning.

They border on the incompetent side. I had bad constipation. The intake person, whom I think is a nurse, not sure, the english was so bad, wrote that I had it for 6 months! First they had a nurse practitioner come in, fair enough. I told her no it was not 6 months! When the doctor finally came in, and I had to repeat everything he asked about the 6 months of constipation. She hadn’t corrected the record. The next thing I know the person with the accent walks in with an IV bag and said he’s going to start the IV. I said for what? He said for the infection. I said what infection? It went down hill from there, you don’t have to read the entire story to get the picture. It was awful, trust me.

My husband was treated here for what he thought was, and what turned out to be, appendicitis. He was treated quickly and thoroughly, but what we appreciated most was the late-​evening call from the doctor to check on him, which happened to come at a time when he was feeling worse than before in the day. This thoughtful call prompted the scheduling of a CT scan, from which we found he definitely needed an appendectomy. We appreciated the doctor reaching out from his cell phone after-​hours.

I called them later in the evening, when every other facility was closed, to speak with a nurse about pain I was experiencing to see if it was something I should worry about. The person who answered the phone asked me to explain what was going on and then mid explanation interrupted me to say he had «another call coming in» and if I wanted help I had to go to them but I was probably fine. I understand they can’t diagnose over the phone but rushing a potential patient off the phone is SO unprofessional.

My experience is completely positive. I had a small injury while playing at the beach in Playa Del Rey; needed to see a doctor. One of my friends told me about this place and I showed up without any appointment. Signed up, and I was with a doctor in 15 minutes. Doctor took care of my problem in a very short time, even helped me with my other health questions, then a very nice nurse took care of the medical treatment application, I was out in less than an hour. Very clean, all equipment looked modern, everyone was very professional.

This place is as bad as the reviews. The staff is super unprofessional and not friendly. Although there was no one else there, I had to ask to fill out whatever info I needed to be seen. Didn’t take that long but the Dr really wanted to prescribe me oral antibiotics and I preferred topical treatments for my eye infection. Gave me the meds that eventually worked after using them for 2 weeks but the vibe here just isn’t great. I only came here because Playa Vista Medical Center wasn’t open and I won’t be back.

True rating –100 on a scale of 100 to –100. with –100 being the absolute lowest. I went back to the facility to get a copy of my medical record. The first time I went the staff continually tried to get me to go to an exam room, I refused I do not need an exam to get a copy of my medical record.
I was then told that I could only have a copy of my medical record if I changed my review. My review of services still stands, and to use what can best be termed as horrible business practices and illegal medical practices, a physician does not have the right to withhold a medical record from the patient.
When I questioned Dr. Uzun on why it was taking 3 three months to give a diagnosis and treatment plan, he just wanted to run more useless tests.
How shady is this place, Emily S. as you read the reviews until he removes Emily S. is actually Dr. Uzun, deception, a physician of no value and when his lips move you know he is a liar.
Copy of the review:
I went to this facility for a work related injury, aluminum oxide poisoning. Dr. Uzun was the only doctor who would take the work insurance. He then requested my Aetna insurance. I was never treated for my injury instead he decided to do medical experiments in Neurology without my consent.
I asked on the 3^rd visit when would treatment begin for the work injury, the aluminum oxide poisoning, he said in about 3 or 4 months.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! Mad scientist at work and this type of medicine is not only unethical it is mindless and willful disregard for human life.

I had the terrible headache and nausea and went to urgent care on June 2. The staff was very friendly and Dr Uzun did all the testing and stabilized my pain with IV with constant monitoring. He diagnosed me with migraine and his medications helped me a lot. I have had many painful headaches before but I did not know the reason. Thanks to him that he quickly put the diagnosis and gave me the right medications. He also ordered MRI and made sure it is nothing other than migraine. He is an excellent, knowledgeable doctor and I am so glad that I went there. I highly recommend this place. Staff was very compassionate and caring, too.

This place is shit. The doctors don’t care about patients. They went for lunch while making me wait in the waiting room. Seriously ?
I really wonder if they have a degree or it’s just a scam.

Visit took three hours with no one in the waiting room upon arrival. Any time I ask someone for an update on status I get two different answers and they are both wrong. I have a melting down baby and can’t believe how much waiting there has been. Urgent? Go somewhere else.
Also the parking is kind of ridiculous and not intuitive. Bad ides if someone is in urgent need of medical assistance. The place is really hard to find.

UPDATE: requested my bill, reports, xrays etc, That is all I want from them to be done. this is what they sent me this morning. I just want my info went to real Doctor yesterday. Scarry. Now I am reporting them to all agencies:
«You are despicable shit of creature and blackmailing our business with Unilocal piece shit-​you have no right to harass, threat our staff and business
I am sure you are another Unilocal scam to bloodsucking attempt»
Sent from my iPhone
Filthy Dirty! Trash Cans overflowing with bloody bandaids, IV, cotton with blood. Tissues with germs from sick people. Bathroom discusting. I had to clean seat and sink before Using.
Several Doctors cards… waited to see one… but no Doctor. One Nurse Practicioner, he told me he was a Family Practioner? I thought that meant family doctor, GP, told him there were not many left anymore. The one XRAY TECH did everything else. Took hours. Diagnoisi by Nurse Practioner, Bronchial Pnemonia. Iv antibiotics and steriods. Waiting to Have my Xray send to a real doctor now for over three hours. Nurse argued on phone that they are too busy to send to doctor.
Asked to have doctor on call contact me. NOTHING .
This is the email threat I was sent this morning by them:
«Watch your action and we will take legal action against you and your collaborator
You will regret that you have made threat out business and harass our business– we will find you and your facilitators
Good by»
I do not know what in the heck they are even talking about? Collaborator? Facilitator? I am a 60 year old interior designer who was very sick looking for help?
I just wanted my exrays send to a real Doctor. Really???
Not proffessional at all.
These are all MY experiences and My opinions. I thought in America we still had Freedom of Speech?

I knew I was in good hands when I heard dr. Uzun providing his staff with real time feedback, explaining why each step was important to achieving excellent care. We won’t have to go anywhere once they are ²⁴⁄₇.

Dr. Uzun and Gladys, his nurse practitioner were amazingly helpful and insightful to my condition. I highly recommend giving this place a try, very nice building too. Warm, comfortable, and very well designed, made me feel very secure.

I don’t know what is going on with this place, but it’s weird. The staff didn’t seem to know what was going on at all. I scheduled an ultrasound, that was really needed at the time, and when I showed up to see the doctor (who had his shirt only buttoned half of the way up… real professional!), he informed me that the ultrasound technician «just didn’t show up today»…? He then proceeded to press around my body, going «Hey! Something really is wrong!»… No kidding.
I personally was creeped out by the vibe of this place. It didn’t feel like anyone really knew what they were doing or talking about. I wouldn’t go back again.

First visit —
Awful…just really really bad. Dirty rooms, rude staff, long wait, everything that you can think of.
2^nd — Felt a little understaffed and the wait was a bit long (2hours) They forgot what I was in for but all in all it was ok.
3^rd — the nurse (Ann?) was great. The doctor actually spent a little more time with me to explain what exactly was going on and just seemed like he actually cared. I wish this was my experience when I first came here.
Come earlier in the day if you are able to.
