Keck School of Medicine of USC

In the last couple of years it’s gotten pretty bad with appointment making and the Office managers via phone seem stressed and confused. I’ve had problems with appointments but today’s problem put me over the top so I’m seeking a private practice for my Internist. I am in need of an important prescription and called for a physical early in the week since it’s been 2 years and I would have to see a doctor for my prescription anyway. The best they could do was get me in to see my doctor the end of Dec. I agreed to see anyone so the appointment was made for today at the end of day.
I had to take off a whole day of work for this due to where I work. I sat all day at home waiting to drive many many miles for a 4:20PM appointment. Well upon arrival I’m told there is not any record of my appointment. One day of work lost, now behind at work, PLUS no prescription which I really need. Seeing the front desk struggle to find a future time for an appointment I decided to walk out and start looking for a private practice. Appalling.

Love Keck and am using it for most of my medical needs. A bit frustrated yesterday when I took my husband for a Colonoscopy. Although the procedure itself was brief, we waited for most of the day for our turn in line. It felt quite unnecessary.

The medical campus is beautiful, and houses the medical school, pharmacy school, and allied health professions schools. They have a library that requires a special student ID card to access, and a bookstore that has everything you need as a professional student.
The medical school itself is a great place to get your education. The staff really cares and goes a long way to make sure their students are well prepared. Their administration is the most efficient I’ve experience out of all the schools I’ve attended. While it is not an easy school to get into, once you’re in, you’re golden!

Keck is an amazing place to be. Sure it doesn’t look like much on the outside but it’s what’s on the inside at keck. The staff at keck are amazing and extremely personable. All the teachers are great at what they do and they’re really easy to understand. The clinical experiences at keck are like no other. It is a university that serves primarily the under served at county hospital. It also has it’s own private hospital so you get the best of both worlds!

Small campus so you don’t have to break a sweat to get to classes. People are friendly here. Campus lacks a good food court. You basically get panda. Weather is always sunny and nice. Parking can be a pain though. Lots of research and doctors you can shadow.

I was a Patient at Keck. USC was great. Hoping I don’t have
to have another Surgery but if I do my trust is with them.
My Surgeon and Team were the BEST!

I love being a student at Keck! It is one of the places where the administration is really supportive, responsive to student concerns, and most of all, you get to interact with some of the sickest patients in LA at LA county! fight on!
