Tarzana Treatment Centers

I will keep it short. I didn’t have a choice to come here really, due to Medi-​cal.
Nurses were pretty friendly. My bone to pick with is Dr. Alberto Y Encina, who according to the internet, has been in medicine for 44 years. I visited here on 9÷4÷2015 with stomach problems. He ultimately decided these problems were either related to being gay (because apparently all gay men have HIV), or legionnaires disease. He took some test of sorts (which I never heard back about) and sent me to the ER. The ER took 5 hours, and concluded I don’t have legionnaires disease. They laughed because Encina is a crock for thinking I had it.
Avoid like the plague.
PS I still have my condition :(Wish I could’ve gotten it fixed when I took the time off with these people.

I came here with an appointment on Friday only to find out that the doctor called in sick. Nobody called to inform me of this. The next available appointment was today at 2. I got here at 1:40 and nobody at the reception desk would tell me anything. Even though there were four people here. One was talking on the phone. Another was spectating the phone call. One was in deep meditation while the other was playing with a pencil. This crew is unprofessional and obviously secure in their positions. There is another lady arguing with them because she gets 30 minutes a month to see psychiatrist and they are 15 minutes into her time yet she has seen no one except these clowns doing nothing.

If you value your life DO NOT GO HERE!
My fiancé was assigned here a year ago and it has been a NIGHTMARE! When he got out of the hospital because he couldn’t breathe, we were told to make sure he had tests run to find out how bad his lungs were. When I brought this up to the Dr I was told basically to shut up they only wanted to speak to him. He was given an appointment in 2 months and was told the tests could only be done by referral even after my fiancé told him was in lot of pain. 2 weeks later he was back in the hospital with 8 blood clots in his lungs and almost died .The last straw was when the Dr didn’t write the name of the drug on a prescription and it can’t be filled. I called 10 times for a week and the pharmacy called twice. In that week. I was told. the Dr is at another clinic, he has 5 days off, then he called in sick. The last time I called I was on hold for 10 mins then passed to 4 people, and the last one said the Dr would get around to it then hung up on me!
The Drs are the bottom of the barrel and incompetent, nurses are rude and condescending, and receptionists are lazy and clueless. You’d get better care from a witch doctor!
Oh yeah he STILL hasn’t gotten a referral!

This place has a serious problem with professionalism and high regard for patients there is no need for long waits for 2 — 5 minutes of talking to doctors that’s no right I hope the medical staff and office become aware of this trend of horrible patient experiences at this center

Stay away! This place is a terrible place to receive medical services. This place is the most incompetent medical office I have ever experienced.

Wow! Not even 2 stars anywhere on here, so we all know collectively that this place is horrible. YES, they have made me appointments and was put in a room one hour later and made to wait in that room for an hour. …and that’s pretty much what every visit is like. I bring food there now to make sure I don’t flip out on them cause im hungry! Dr. A is a perv, asked me on 2 consecutive visits if ive had a recent pap smear. and im like you have my records in front of you.. Look at them dude! Felt very uncomfortable there. .only had this one perv doctor and the rest of the medical staff are all psychians assistants, the one PA I got stuck with was a little, blonde female who thought she was mightier than God with this really sarcastic tone and even made an inappropriate comment about the patient before and they’re drama, and scoffed…
medi-​cal patients. …sooooo not professional! And that was 2 years ago.. Now when im absolutely FORCED to see my dr office (PA office, cause there aint none here!) I always see a new PA each time I’ve come, all of which know nothing about my medical history! !! What kind of care is this? When I go to ever try and contact my PA. its an average wait time of 20 min in which many of the times ive gotten hung up on at the end! ! I hate this place! ! Now im in for a follow up appointment, and they’re trying to tell me the appt is not in their system! I have it written down on an appt card guys!!! Get it together! ! They said they’re squeezing me in, but im sure im gonna b here for 2 hrs waiting. …I should just go to the korean bbq place next door and bbq it up and have them call me when they re finally ready! !!! This place suuuuuuuuucks!!!

Terrible! Don’t go here! They don’t care about you they just want to get paid. They won’t do treatments at one time but make you keep coming back and waiting for at least an hour each time. This is awful especially if you have a high copayment. I called them 4 times when I had bad coughing and they didn’t call back when they said that they would. Bad bad bad!

I waited in a small room for over an hour and the doctor didn’t give me any help, I am never coming here again.

Can’t even make a review since I had an appointment, waited an hour and never heard a word.

What a joke of a clinic, avoid, avoid, avoid!!! they are so unorganized its pathetic… two times doctors came into my room and started asking me questions only to find out they were in the wrong room, no one including doctors know what the hell is going on… pretty scary if u ask me. then Brian Scheslinger has the nerve to be rude on top of everything else… JOKE, JOKE, JOKE!!!

It is absolutely ridiculous how bad of a medical center this place is. Literally, from the office staff down to the physicians. I have been there maybe 6 or 7 times and it is unexplainable how bad every experience has been. The staff are the biggest retards you can think of, not to mention rude and unprofessional. You make an appointment for 1, and you will not see a doctor until 230, guaranteed.
As a side note, I have used Unilocal for years, and this is the first time I have actually written a review. That might help explain what bad of a past this is.

This is the most unprofessional medical center I have EVER stepped foot into. I now appreciate the WIC office so much more and the patience and care they have in comparison to this joke of a medical center. The girls behind the desk are incompetent. They lack customer service, let alone common courtesy. And the Dr. What Dr? There is no REAL Dr. I have tried on many occasions to make an appointment because I was not feeling well and they tell me there are no appointments for the next 2 weeks. I told them it was urgent and they said they couldn’t see me and told me to go to an ER hospital! WHAT!!! This is not what I pay insurance for! I’m not on medi-​cal, I have insurance! I gave them one last try today, and oh boy I wish I would have just gone to an ER. I have been here since 1:30 (my appointment time)… 2 hours later and I still have not been called in!!! I can’t imagine that this place will stay in business much longer. DO NOT and I mean DO NOT come to this place. Consider yourself warned! This place is a nightmare and everyone who works here is a joke. I’m calling my insurance company now to complain and get my dr changed. This place treats you like they rather let you die then help you!

I can’t afford health care so after an overnight stay at Northridge Hospitals ER with a bill that came to 10 thousand dollars in which the result was «we have no idea whats wrong with your stomach»…they referred me to the Tarzany Toot toot Center. My first visit they took some blood… the doctor who seemed more like someone posing as a doctor said it all looked ok. I was still having stomach problems and went back. This different doctor type person looks at my chart and tells me that I have tested positive for H pylori. The county or state doesn’t give them money for antibiotics just antacids. So prescription for those is what I got. He never offered to prescribe the drugs I needed even though it would cost me. Fast forward to a year later when my stomach gets worse. I once again go to the standing only crowded Tarazny Toot Toot Center where another doctor sees me and prescribes more antacids. I few weeks later i am worse I go again and finally get a good doctor who tells me I need antibiotics and I said I’ll take a prescription if she could do that. She did and told me in detail about the illness and how I should treat it. She also told me to do a follow up and she would try to get me a colonoscopy. Well when i had my follow up it was a different doctor who told me it was most likely my bra under wire causing the pain under my left rib. I made another appointment with the doctor I wanted and when I got there and made my way through the maze of people speaking different languages and addicts the receptionist told me the doctor called in sick. WHAT!!! She handed me a card and told me to call and make another appointment if I wanted to see this doctor. Out of anger I said «You know what people who can’t afford health insurance just die» When I exited the building I threw their business card into the air. The receptionists and nurses don’t really give a crap about you. If your lucky one of the PA’s will care but good luck getting an appointment with one. Most of the PA’s just want to get you out of there. I say PA’s because most of the doctors aren’t really doctors just PA’s. Bottom line if you want to have a close up and personal look at the state of Health Care in California go spend a few hours there or just 1 minute in the lobby. I will die because I can’t afford health care and Obama care is a joke. It will just penalize people who can’t afford health care and by the way the price of health care goes up as you age as well as what area you live in… kinda like a car but i think cars are more important to folks than people are these days…
