Messina Alex J MD

I got very sick and couldn't get into my normal doctor. Dr. Messina stepped up and helped me, seeing me that day and getting me onto antibiotics so I could feel better almost immediately. He was professional and helpful and went out of his way to accommodate me.

Dr.Messina - has been my primary care physician for the last 4 years, he has improved the quality of my overall health by 75% and my numbers are excellent as a result. I couldn’t be happier with his professionalism and expertise.His front office is highly efficient and every request for authorizations or referrals are promptly attended to by nurse Tina. This doctor is a true Santa Monica gem. Highly recommend. ????

- Super unorganized office. Doctor even admitted they're understaffed. At one point the secretary said “hurry up and write this down because I have other calls”
- High chance they won't return phone calls if you leave a message, or they'll take a few days
- I asked to get lab results emailed to me multiple times and secretary said she sent it multiple times and I never received it. Apparently their system struggles to send an email.
- Doctor is showing signs of mental degradation (started reading someone else's chart to me on the phone) and is hard to understand and doesn't instill confidence
- They forgot... read full review
