Lorraine Anderson's Online Review Report Card

Very detailed and thorough in explaining everything I needed to address during my visit, and then some! She made it very easy to understand how everything tied together, holistically, and that’s not always the case when you go see a care provider whose specializes in an area you know nothing about really. Very happy with the visit and Dr. Anderson overall.

This doctor left me feeling horrible. Doctors shouldn't be expected to be personable or even amiable, but they shouldn't be condescending toward patients. I think this doctor has an extremely low tolerance for patients who speak about their symptoms instead of limiting the conversation to the tests she wants to prescribe. She prescribes these irrelevant and expensive tests, and then there's nothing left to talk about when the tests don't show anything...

First, I want to say that I have read all of the comments about her bedside manner. She doesn't have one. She isn't capable. She has Aspergers. During our visit, she clearly remembered to stop what she was doing and look at me and give a brief mechanical smile. That is Aspergers. There are many brilliant people, including doctors, that have this condition. My issue is that I was sending her to try to get to the bottom of something, and she completely misdiagnosed me and wanted to put me on a medicine I don't need. I feel that she is the person you go to for allergy desensitization, so that you don't have to worry about misdiagnoses or anything that is more critical. I am rating her one star, because in my case, she was more dangerous to me than helpful to me. Needless to say, I am not going to take the medication I don't need, and will not see her again.

Dr. Anderson is by far the best doctor I've ever had. When I came to her I was at the end of my rope with dealing with asthma. It was unmanaged despite seeing multiple other doctors and taking many prescriptions. She was the first doctor to truly sit down and ask about my entire medical history. She also answered every question I had and made it clear she wanted to hear all my questions. She explained things precisely and thoroughly, and created a plan for me that instantly helped my asthma. I haven't had an attack since and my life has improved vastly. She also cares about the whole person, and I always leave feeling more supported. I don't usually leave reviews but I am very grateful for my experience with her.

Dr. Anderson is by far the best doctor I've ever had, and I've had many good doctors. I have seen doctors for both asthma and other conditions, but she was the first person to really spend time answering my questions in an unhurried and intentional way. She truly cares about the whole person, and asks about my personal life in order to treat me better and because she cares. She is very thorough and ...

DR. Lorraine Anderson is the worst doctor I have ever seen at UCLA and anywhere in the world. 1. She has no bedside manners and is robotic. She does not know how talk to patients. Tells patients to be quite and listen to her. Had her back to me during the entire visit and kept typing and staring on her computer screen with pre-written diagnosis without asking me anything. Asking the patient for symptoms is apparently secondary. 2. Administered a breathing test without determining the cause nor telling me it was going to cost me over $200 for breathing into a handheld equipment. 3. Recommended allergy test without explaining the cost and stuck me with over $1000 bill. 4. During the testing I complained of tingling sensation and she refused to listen to my complaint and carried on with the test and since then has refused to hear anything about symptoms because tingling was not her problem nor her specialty of medicine and I should visit my primary doctor. Please avoid Dr. Anderson, she is only there to write prescriptions and make money by prescribing unnecessary procedures. There had been no response from UCLA medical or her office regarding billing and fees that I am stuck with not the tingling that continues.

Poor experience with Dr. Anderson. I decided to give her the chance even after hearing other patients recommendation to stay clear. Dr. Anderson didn't know this, but my sister who is a Dr. was with me the day of my appointment. All I can say, she was very unprofessional and did not give accurate answers.

Late without apologising. Do not see her. There’s a reason she had availability quickly-she doesn’t know how to interact with patients, displays no empathy and only likes to recite facts repeatedly.
