Teresa: I'm looking for recommendations for a HMO family doctor in Lakewood...would love a referral instead of just trial and error! (...same with dentist if you have one!). Many thanks!

Dr. Grant Uba with healthcare partners on spring across from johns burgers is fabulous!! We have 4 generations going to him, he is great with kids, and great with my grandparents, he takes his time to listen, and never rushes. He is also the sports doctor for LBCC. You can call 562-988-7000, press 0 for the operator and ask for Dr. Uba at the spring street office to be connected and then you can ask what type of insurance he takes. I work at Long Beach Memorial in the OR so I know he is highly recommended from others in the field as well 😊

I have gone to Healthcare Partners on Willow and Redondo for over 20 years, there is a new Dr there who is accepting new patients, his name is Dr. Long. I have always had great care there. The phone number is: 562-988-7000. I have been in the healthcare industry for a long time and have worked on the insurance side and at a free clinic. I am happy you now have insurance! Good luck!
