Malena Law, MD

Dr Law is an amazing doctor! She is really caring and very knowledgeable. Unfortunately she is leaving UCLA. It will be very hard to find a doctor to replace her.

Dr Law has been my favorite doctor to date. I love how she considers the environment of my life to help diagnose as opposed to just giving me pills. For example, I was having terrible back aches and when i met with her, she examined my back and asked about work.
In the end, it was the result of stress and more regular yoga sessions helped.
And i agree with another reviewer — Dr Law is quick where you want her to be but is a great listener and really gets to the root of the problem.

Best doctor ever!!! Always thorough and exceptional at troubleshooting problems. Every time Dr. Law sends me to a specialist the specialist always say they think that Dr. Law is the SMARTEST Dr they have ever met. When other doctors say that, that is a much better compliment than I can ever say or write about. She is always kind and has the best bed side manner.
I think its unfair that other patients gave Dr Law less than 5 stars because of their poor insurance coverage. Thats not the Doctors fault. If anything, write a review about UCLA or about your own insurance. Dont blame the doctor. The doctors dont even handle billing.

Dr. Law is fantastic. Appointments are on time. She takes time to answer all questions and learn about your concerns. I actually moved to SF and kept her as my PCP. If you appreciate someone who actually listens to you, this is your doctor.

I was referred by a co-​worker. Called twice, both assistants didn’t call back to even schedule an appointment. Must not want new patients. Horrible.

i like dr. law quite a bit as an internist. her bedside manner is friendly and warm and she takes the time to answer any questions you may have. of course, if you have any specific issues or need a specialist you will need to see someone else, but for general health issues she is great.
i prefer this location to the main hospital at westwood, which is much more crowded (the lab there is ridiculous) and seems to bill at higher rates. that being said, it is still UCLA so it will still set you back a pretty penny.

Dr. Law is nice. She is a little rushed for time, but is easy to talk to and pretty thorough.
My main problem is the billing is INSANE! I went in for a 15 minute check up. That’s it. No real concerns, just had been a few years, so I thought I’d go in. No poking, prodding, disrobing. etc. Dr. Law wanted to check cholesterol and a few other routine blood work things. Fine, pretty normal. She sent me to the lab down the hall. Fine, it was convenient.
Now, however, I have over $ 1k in medical bills (out of pocket) and my insurance usually covers everything. And, it was «in network.» When I called the lab about the routine blood work, I said I would have opted out if I had known the price. They said for medical safety I can’t know the price and opt out. What?!? That is crazy! I wasn’t having real health concerns. It wasn’t like I was in danger of needing to be checked in to the hospital. I have never had that happen and won’t go back! I would warn others not to go there either. (And, I hope Dr. Law reads this so she knows what her office is doing.)

Love Dr. Law! She answers my ridiculous questions as if they were completely normal. She’s quick with certain things (you know what I’m talking about, ladies), but doesn’t rush you at all. I love that I can see her for just about anything!

I have been going to Dr. Law for about 8 years now. She’s the best. Very knowledgable and cares about her patients. She doesn’t just rush people out to move on to the next one. UCLA health is great in general, but she is amazing even for their standards. She will always get back to you even just on an emailed question. If she is in your health insurance I highly recommend using her.
