"$1220 bill for a 10 minute consultation on my foot-- absolutely no evaluation... I just have no clue how this cost could be justified."

"Dr Stravakis is an amazing doctor, she did amazingly difficult surgery, I am very grateful to her and her staff at the UCLA orthopedic department."

Yahoo Local (User: Mo Y.)

"Expect very long wait times and plan to pay for parking. I didn’t get to see my doctor until an hour after their scheduled time."
