United Care Family Medical Center

I’m really on the fence about this place. It’s super close to my work and has positive Unilocal reviews so I decided to give it a try.
It definitely has a clinic vibe. If you’ve ever been to a clinic or planned parenthood in a not great part of town, that is what this place is like. It’s located in a strip mall with an el pollo loco and a smart n final. Literally every single chair in the spartan chilly waiting room is stained. I was waiting for over an hour from my scheduled apt time to be called to the back. The entire time I was waiting a small child was screeching and throwing toys. Non stop. By the time I got to the back I was freezing from the overly conditioned waiting room and had a headache from the incessant high pitched screaming. The back area is similar to the front in that it’s very utilitarian. More stained chairs, scuffed dirty looking floors, bright fluorescent lights.
First I was seen by a medical student who was very sweet and seemed a little nervous. He listened attentively and took careful notes. Next I saw Kristina, the doctor, who is awesome. She listened, addressed all my concerns and gave great advice. The rest of the staff seems great too.
However one more thing that I found really off putting was the presence of several med students during what is an extremely personal and private procedure. It made what is usually already an unpleasant experience very uncomfortable.
So I’m knocking 2 stars off for the negative aspects, but giving 3 stars for service.

Dr. Lavi is so wonderful! He is such an amazing doctor!
I went to see Dr. Lavi just once a few months back and my experience at this office was amazing. I initially went in for a routine check up, but ended up getting blood work done and some refills on prescriptions. They are so flexible and always accepts walk-​ins!
One thing I noticed about this office is that it is a teaching clinic. When the doctor came into the room, he explained to me that his students go into the room initially to get started on the patients and assess them first, then the doctor comes in. I didn’t mind this because I loved the PA students there. They are all well-​educated and have good bedside manners.
I have referred many friends to Dr. Lavi and his PAs, Rebecca and Kelly, and they all love this clinic. I highly recommend this place!

This place provides the best care. From the front staff to the Drs in the office, I have never felt so comfortable. They are quick in getting you in and out. They care about your patients are especially good with children. I am so happy that I found a place that I know my family is deeply cared for.
Thank you !
