Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Doesn’t communicate or refill prescriptions timely
Scheduled my yearly checkup but could not get an appointment until after my medications would expire. Dr’s office never responded to my refill request via the portal or to my pharmacists requests. I even followed up a week later and was told by the UCLA phone operator they would put in an urgent message and I would receive a response within 24 hours and never heard back. Finally reached out to my PCP to pick up Dr. Kuklinski’s slack and his office’s lack of professionalism. I cannot recommend him which is unfortunate as I’ve had great experiences with everyone other Dr. I’ve seen at UCLA.

Friendly and Thorough
Dr Kuklinski was thorough and calming. He answered my questions and didn't rush me. He also clearly looked at my chart and asked me questions about my cancer history which I appreciated.

Avoid Dr. Lawrence Kuklinski and the UCLA office.
Avoid Dr. Lawrence Kuklinski and this office. They took around 2 months to send in the prescription to the pharmacy and we had to follow up multiple times (4 times, I believe). Insurance and the pharmacy confirmed that the Dr.'s office was the holdup. The appointment costed roughly $600 AFTER insurance and they still provided awful service.
