Dr.Paul’s Immediate Care

This place is awesome. There is never a huge wait and it is new, clean, and the staff is incredibly friendly. I have always had a great experience and I am sure I will later when I visit today.

I highly recommend Dr. Paul… He’s great, as is his staff. There quick, efficient and local… Thanks for patching me up…

Close to home, clean office, takes my insurance (can’t beat a $ 10 co-​pay). I didn’t get to meet Dr. Paul, but everyone I saw was just fantastic.
Was treated for dual ear infections, acute rhinitis, acute sinusitis and acute bronchitis. I was sick for several weeks and had to go back a second time (needed a different antibiotic for the ear infection), and again the experience was top notch.
The first time I had a short, very reasonable wait for a walk-​in (I’ve waited longer when I’ve had appointments!), the second time I was seen immediately. Quick turnaround, yet they manage to take their time with you and treat you like an actual person.

Highly recommend. The staff is amazing and checking in is easy and quick.

Went to Dr. Paul’s today for a 2^nd degree burn on my hand. When I walked in I was blown away at how clean and nice the office was. Two very nice people greeted me at the front desk and helped me very quickly. I don’t know if this is the typical experience, but on a Tuesday at 11am I was the only patient there. My trip was super fast and they took great care of me. They suggested I come back in 2 days for further aftercare but are not charging me for that visit. The Dr even said I could email her pictures of my burn if I thought it was getting worse.
Long story short — this place was outstanding. They accepted my insurance and made me feel so fantastic! I will be returning for any medical needs and recommending them to everyone!

The best doctor experience I have had in a while. The 200 dollar cash price might seem step to some but it’s totally worth it! A ER visit can cost upwards of 1000 dollars and can cost hours of your life. The whole staff is exceptional. Check in is easy! They don’t take appointments but because the staff is so good it takes no time and the sign in paper work is straight and to the point so it doesn’t take forever! Dr Paul spends ample time with you and never makes you feel like he has one foot heading out the door. I was very straight forward with him and I was given honest answers and was referred to another primary care doctor who also handles cash patients. I have never felt more at home and honestly I left feeling much better.
Thank you Doctor Paul and staff!
You guys made my day so much better!

Although their own website says they accept most major PPOs and HMOs, it’s not true. I called and they don’t accept any HMOs. Update your website.

Had to run in just minutes before closing and the friendly and accommodating staff took excellent care of me. The clinic is «in network» for me, so it was also not overly expensive.
I am very happy with the care I received. I was contacted in the days following my visit just to see if I was feeling better.
I had a positive experience and a positive health outcome from my treatment. I would recommend anyone who needs urgent or non primary care to visit.

MONEY HUNGRY DOCTORS!
they forgot to prescribe cough medicine and now they want me to come back and pay for the visit again just for the prescription!!!
DON“T GO TO THIS OFFICE. there are a lot of doctors in this area who’ll be happy to take care of you.
completely agree with the review by Tttt. They’re interested only in MONEY.
These guys are CROOKS.
STAY AWAY!!!

Went there weekday. Could not get a straight answer on how long it would take to be seen, only a couple of people were waiting. After a couple hours I was seen.
I tore ligaments in my ankle, my whole foot was purple. Luckily I got a quote on the xrays before they took them because the xray tech implied they were going to cost me more than what I was quoted, or «per angle.»
The Doctor never pulled off my shoe and sock to even look at my ankle. He also never went over the x-​rays with me that I paid hundreds of dollars for. He tried to sell me a splint instead. As far as I know he did not look at the x-​rays.
I settled my bill at the front desk and asked if I was fully paid. They said I was full paid and I was all set. 3 weeks later I get a bill in the mail claiming I owe them more money because they only did an «estimate» of what total costs would be.
These guys are crooks, stay away. They also had the nerve to try to get me to come back in for a check up. You never looked at my injury the first time, why would I come back a second time??? They are only interested in your $$$.

Another 5 star review for Dr Paul’s!
So I got a pretty bad gash on my knee from tripping and falling onto rocks and dirt. I sent my doctor friend a pic, and he said that it looked bad, and that I should get it treated right away and get a tetanus shot.
I called my doctor and told the receptionist what happened. She said they had no appointments available and that I should go to an urgent care. I had passed by Dr. Paul’s Urgent Care in the past so I looked on Unilocal and called.
I explained that I probably needed a tetanus shot and Suzanne, the manager, said no problem come on in! I asked if they take appointments and she said no only walk ins, which worked for me that day.
I went in, and from start to finish, it was a great experience! It was a bit of a wait that afternoon, but if you want, you can sign in and go to the Starbucks next door and come back when they tell you to.
Just like all the other reviewers said, the staff is super nice! The manager and co owner Suzanne, the receptionist Chelsea, the nurse Norman, and although I didn’t get Dr Paul, Dr Christine was fantastic! They are all so nice and the office vibe is great! The whole place has this friendly, open air atmosphere. It’s really rare to come across a doctors office that gives you a good feeling nowadays.

I really dislike going to the Dr and normally will just wait my colds out. This time, my bf insisted I see a Dr. A quick Unilocal search and he found Dr. Pauls. Luckily they’re open 7 days a week, and took my insurance.
We went in on a Saturday afternoon and it was quite crowded. The people at the front desk were cheerful and friendly and let us know about how long the wait would be and that there was a Starbucks next door if we wanted to grab something while we waited.
Jennifer brought me into the room and was so friendly. She eased my nerves and really was a wonderful when checking vitals and giving me a breathing treatment. Dr Paul was very friendly as well. He took his time with me and was thorough. By far the best experience with a Dr that I’ve ever had.
The rooms are lovely and feel spa like. They have the sounds of the ocean playing softly in the background. Very relaxing. They even called the next day to check on me.

Everyone here was SO nice, the office is bright and clean, and I was in and out really quickly. Dr. Paul was extremely friendly and thorough and I didn’t feel like he was trying to rush through our meeting at all, which is an issue I’ve had with other doctors. This will be my new go-​to urgent care!

‘Twas the week before Christmas and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring… EXCEPT FOR A NASTY POISON OAK RASH FROM LAST WEEK’S MALIBU HIKE!
On Chelsea, on Jorgen
On Jennifer, on Shannon
P. A. Christine with your brain so bright
Wouldn’t you know it, Xmas is going to be alright*

I had a close friend who doesn’t know english very well ask me to help her find a medical provider that would take her school based insurance. I called her provider and they recommend Dr. Paul. She does not have extra $ as she is a foreign student on a visa so getting work is not easy. I tell her to go to Dr. Paul as he is scheduled to take her provider. I tell her it will only charge her the deductible amount 20 $ apprx. Not only was she charged 200 $ to see someone but the office repeatedly refused to take calls and discuss the situation with her or myself.
Unfortunately Southern California medical companies like to take advantage of people with poor English a they are easy targets.

Amazing experience. Clean, nice. They gave ocean photography and ocean mood sounds in the patient rooms. Kids movies in the waiting room. Easy parking. Fast, friendly professional. Came in for a head laceration and received amazing care and a follow up call the next day. This place is much more comfortable and convenient than most doctors offices and a great way to avoid a creepy hospital. I can’t wait to get injured again knowing I’m in the capable hands of Dr. Paul’s Immediate Care. :) Go here!

My daughter is going to Science Camp with her class and needed a current Tetanus shot, so we quickly slipped this into one of our busy Saturday mornings before heading out on a road trip!
Now we have plenty of urgent care visits to other places to compare to this one a) because my kids play sports and yes, sometimes they get little injuries; b) I’d rather visit an urgent care over emergency rooms any day to avoid huge waits or the potential for even larger bugs; c) My kids’ physician is not near our house because I stick with the Drs. I love and so for little things like this, I rely on urgent care places. I’m telling you we will never go anywhere else BUT Dr. Paul’s now.
1 STAR for their amazingly clean and new offices — I never once worried about what germs other people may have left lingering — everything is pristine
2^nd STAR for their staff — everything was taken care of, including the forms I need for my records, so quickly and easily
3^rd STAR for the gal who gave my daughter the shot who put her at ease and distracted her so she didn’t even stop talking when the shot was administered (and apparently I’m a huge wimp by comparison because that is one shot that I know hurts compared to other shots)
4^th STAR for being able to do the shot the day I called them
5^th STAR for being open on the weekend for a long time — in other words for being available when I needed them and in a way that worked with my crazy schedule
I have recommended them to all 3 5^th grade classes who are leaving for camp next week because they did such an amazing job with my daughter.

Note I’m not a big fan of health clinics but this one’s changed my mind on the business.
I didn’t meet Dr. Paul but his staff and wife (the other co owner) were extremely friendly and professional. They got me in about 15 – 20 minutes which is excellent for a first time patient and i went in for this bad cough i couldn’t get rid of.
They verified my insurance then a Technician lady started me in the process and examined me initially, then they had one of their PA ladies examine me and make some judgements and do a breathing treatment where they had a LVN check on me every 5 minutes or so and then prescribe some medications and even call my pharmacy to set up an easy pick up.
I was in and out in about 50minutes and it was an excellent experience. Highly recommended.
The parking is ample though (especially if you have a low car) enter from the west entry on Artesia if you can as their back exit is quite steep.
The décor is nice and new, and the whole place seems very inviting and beach themed.
Dr. Paul’s is great place to take yourself or kids, and I was very impressed by the professionalism and staff. Every single staff member treated me well, and I highly recommend this place to any of my friends.

I had to come in to get fixed up from the flu. Unfortunately the they didn’t cover my insurance plan so I had to pay out of pocket but it was fine. Very clean and friendly staff.
They also were able to give me the medication without having to go to the drugstore.

The first thing people say when they step into Dr. Paul’s Immediate Care is how nice it looks. His wife created a beach themed medical clinic that is very appropriate for Hermosa Beach. The office does not look sterile like most clinics and you feel very welcomed in the waiting area & patient rooms. Each room has a beach poster and ocean sounds to help calm your nerves.
It is conveniently located across the street from Starbucks so if you have a love one that is waiting on you they can go get free wifi and coffee.
I was so delighted that this clinic was open on a weekend! Also, they do in house pharmacy if you are out of town and just want to get your prescription and leave.
All of the nurses and PA have been wonderful and very caring. I have visited Dr. Paul’s office three times in one Thanksgiving week and each time I have received the best care and attention.
I was in there yesterday and was cared by Dr. Paul himself, he was very knowledgeable and «as a matter of fact» type of doctor. Good to know. Was given some vitamin shots and some medication.
Still recuperating but it is definitely reassuring to know that such a wonderful clinic is right up the block from my house.
Thanks again!
