H. Claude Hudson Comprehensive Health Center

Avoid at all costs. They wouldnt accept Blue Cross Anthem insurance!!! That is like the best and most covered insurance out there!!! Ignorant and lazy staff. Like your in the Dmv

Hell on earth. This place should be shut down. The doctor I saw had no idea what he was talking about. He argued with me over my diagnosis even after I showed him paperwork from the hospital and other doctors stating my exact diagnosis. Doctor was mean as well as totally incompetent. He really needs to be barred from practicing medicine, it was that bad. Clinic was overcrowded, dirty, and none of the staff seemed to care at all about the patients. I would recommend staying away from this place at all costs. I would rather go to another city to go to the doctor if necessary than return to this germ filled hellhole. If you’re low income or without insurance there are much better options. I have mediCal, and thank God have a choice of doctors. But if you’re referred here, beware. There are better free clinics. Go to this place and chances are you’ll get sicker not better. And you can forget proper treatment, tests and medication. Stay away!!!

It’s stupid how they wouldn’t let me in just because I brought a skateboard, I asked where the sign was for no skateboards allowed, all they told me was its policy, they told me to hide it outside but it wasn’t going to be their fault if it gets stolen, fucking wasted my time, the security could’ve told me that when she was outside giving out the yellow card numbers before going in, fucking idiot ass people I swear.

The reasons why I went there: I had a painful abscess, was in between insurance, and was told that they provided free care. Well they charged me $ 90 since I wasn’t eligible for Medicaid. Wait a minute, if they are charging Medicaid then it’s not free… I told the receptionist that I didn’t have insurance and was looking for free care as soon as I got there. They should have screened me first and told me that the visit wasn’t going to be free.
They expect me to pay $ 90.00 for what? Waiting 10 hours to see a doctor? When I finally saw her, she didn’t treat me. Instead, in her own words, she said: «if I lance the site, What will I do next? Treat it? We don’t want to do that!». So she gave me some antibiotic and told me to go to the ER if it gets worst they will lance it there. Silly me, I thought I went their to be treated. Duh!!! Not counting the horrible customer service and no respect for patient’s privacy. Even my dog gets better treatment at the free vet clinic. To make matters worst the cashier asked me to go and bring him the exact change cause he couldn’t cash $ 14.95 from a $ 20.00.
Why would anyone go there for services? My only guess is that they don’t think they have a choice. People!!! There are a lot of hospitals that accept Medicaid insurance and they have discounted prices for the least fortunate. You don’t have to be treated like crap by people who don’t give a crap about you!!! You can go somewhere else. I know I will. As far as I am concerned, they should pay me $ 90.00 for that horrible experience and the 11 wasted hours of my life.

Well I wish I could make a review based on actually going there but since I’ve literally spent an hour yesterday being caller number one in their call que, never actually speaking to a person just instantly on hold, and another hour today again being caller number one I can’t give my opinion on experiencing their actual services. And yes I also tried leaving my number for a call back.
However, in my experience if a place can’t get their act together in being able to pick up their own phone then I can’t trust them to take care of me as a patient.
I was trying to make an OBGYN appointment but I mean SERIOUSLY. If you can’t get your act together with figuring out how to pick up a phone then I’m not letting you anywhere near my vagina.

H. Claude Hudson is a great place to go if you want to be seen by great doctors but cannot afford the high cost of medical care. I have come to this clinic for years and my experiences have always been pleasant. Recently, I’ve had to come twice a week for the last month and I’ve been fortunate to be seen by Dr. Malini Shah everytime, SHE IS THE BEST! She is amazing, my medical condition would have taken months to get heal and she has done wonders! It has only been a month and it is healing fast. I could not be any happier. However, there is a wait. I recommend to come very early in the morning or later in the evening. Wait time can be a few hours but it is well worth it! I do not think I would find another low cost clinic with such great doctors like Dr. Malini Shah! Some nurses are friendlier than others, and as long as you are nice they will return the favor. BUT I go there for the doctors, they are wonderful.

The trick in using the county health system is to understand how to use it. For H. Claude Hudson center, make an appointment with the doctor or specialist & you really don’t wait that long. Try to avoid their urgent care. Once you are assigned a primary physician there, things move along. They are affiliated with USC County General if they need to do more tests or work on you. They spotted my heart disease, and thus saved my life, when the earlier private health plan I had totally missed it.
If you need urgent care, use the MLK urgent care center on Wilmington Blvd. near the 105 Fwy and Blue/​Green Lines. They stay open until 11 PM, 7 days a week, and have all the specialties there, much more then Hudson. If you go to MLK in the evening, there is very little wait. Call ahead of time to see how the waiting is. Unless it is a true emergency, wait until the crowds thin out. If it is a true emergency, you will be seen ASAP. Emergency room waits are even longer.
There are a lot of people who go to the H. Claude Hudson & MLK urgent care because it is free for the most part, if you don’t have insurance If you just walk in cold w/​o any advance plan, you will be competing with everyone else who are waiting and may experience all the difficulties the frustrated people above have mentioned.

We went to this clinic for a knee injury. We knew it was injured badly enough to get an MRI because three other doctors at other low cost healthcare facilities told us that.
We arrived, and a rather disrespectful and cold doctor told us that the knee would get better on it’s own. We asked about an MRI but the doctor told us that we’d have to see an orthopedic specialist to get an MRI referral, so he’d write us a referral for the orthopedic specialist. He said the referral may take up to three months to go through so we should «look up» the referral number, because for some reason he couldn’t take an extra fifteen seconds to find the number for us.
Then after two months of calling wrong numbers, we found out that not only had the doctor not ever written a referral, but the clinic had no record of our visit. Now we have to go down and start over, and by this point the knee injury has gotten much worse.
The US Healthcare system is complete trash and this clinic is some of the worst of it. Thanks to these people’s incompetence, my partner might walk with a severe limp for the rest of her life.

H. Claude Hudson Comprehensive Health Center
Is a county run medical facility that specializes in everything from dental to STD testing as well as urgent care and trauma. They accept all health care insurance and if you do not have any they will provide you with service still and referral you to their local county insurance provider.
They also have a local pharmacy for pick up medication and they are really quick at getting your prescription filled.
The doctors here are very good and have taken the pay cut in their profession to help out the community and do what they do best, help people in need.
If you do come here, the major down side would be that you will be waiting in the seated lobby area ALL-​DAY literally so early arrival is highly recommended unless its an emergency expect to wait at least 6 – 8 hours for real!

part of the LAC+USC healthcare network. County run clinic. I’ve been to the urgent care here and the doctors are nice&helpful. They will help you with referrels to vision, nutrition, ect. and explain medications to you. It’s urgent care so you can only get a 1 – 2 month script on bp medications and your regular doctor has to approve to extend you which stinks sometimes. I love the pharmacy here better than all the other facilities because it’s 20 minutes to an hour at minimum wait. At county USC it’s 4 hours even for prescription cough syrup. And the crappy part is that even though they are all in the same network they don’t fill each others prescriptions (smdh).Can’t say much about there other services because my doctor is at LAC+USC.
