Modupe Aiyegbusi, MD

I was in need of new doctor since my previous went boutique. Going to urgent care for basic medical needs was not doing it for me.
My coworker recommended Dr. Modupe Aeyigbusi. He has been seeing her for years. She is conveniently located in Torrance. Plenty of parking in the back of the building.
You sign in and they call your name and you fill out all those typical medical insurance forms.
Dr. Aeyigbusi is very caring and listens to your concerns and finds solutions or directs you to a specialist that can further assist in getting you better.

Love this office. wonderful staff and wonderful Doctor! I highly recommend this doctor to everybody. Dr. Aiyegbusi knows her stuff! The staff is so nice they always greet the patient when they walk in.
so many people post such negative reviews and i don’t understand why.
must i also say, i’ve been a patient for over 10 years! and never had i have an issue like this other reviewers claim to say!

Like some of the other reviewers, I’ve also had some negative experiences with this office. Dr. Aiyegbusi is a very intelligent doctor, however, her bedside manner can be downright rude at times and I’ve had enough. The first couple visits I could definitely tell that she was not the friendliest doctor, and she was also impatient. But like I said, I can tell she knows her stuff and she is competent, so I was fine with just going in and making sure everything was okay with me. But this last visit was the worst. In general, she doesn’t like if you ask questions – she just wants to run the show and then rush out of the room. She was fine and cordial while going through my test results from my physical during my appointment, but then after she was done talking she just headed toward the door to leave without asking me if I had any questions or concerns, which I did. So I said, «Um, excuse me, Dr., I was wondering…» and she stopped, sighed heavily and stared at me with an extremely annoyed look. It was like night and day – she was fine when I was just sitting and being quiet but when I wanted to know something more she acted like I was bothering her. When I asked her my question she was very impatient, made no eye contact with me, and didn’t even give me a clear response. She then proceeded to exit the room and I was confused as to if I should follow her or stay in the room, so I just followed after her and stood next to her as she typed things in her computer without saying a word to me about what she was doing. Then a nurse came and told me to go back in the room and wait, which I did. Then the nurse handed me an appointment card for my next appointment in six months – without even consulting me on which days/​times work best for me! And of course the day and time they had chosen for me did not work with my schedule, so I had to reschedule it. What an unnecessary situation. Just wait and ask me my schedule before you make an appointment for me – common sense.
Before I left, I asked the doctor if I could have a certain thing checked for my next blood test in six months and she literally scoffed and said it wouldn’t do me any good or give any insight into my health (I have an autoimmune disorder), so no. All it would take for her to do is to just check one check mark on my lab sheet, but she wasn’t willing to do that, and if the answer is no, at least be nice about it. I left the office feeling horrible. She treated me like I was bothering her for simply asking two questions. She’s just one of those doctors who wants you to take your medicine and be quiet. In reality, I as a patient have a right to know what’s going on with my body and a doctor should encourage you to be proactive about your health and at the very least make you feel like they care about you. I felt the exact opposite after my appointment.
At home, I went over my test results on my own and was concerned about one area being in the out-​of-​normal range. She didn’t think it was a big deal during my appointment, but I felt uneasy about it, so I called the office to ask for a referral to a specialist. The receptionist questioned me about why I wanted the referral and made me explain to her in detail, then offered me her advice, which was very dismissive. I didn’t know that the receptionist was qualified to give me medical advice. Isn’t that the doctor’s job? So I had to re-​state firmly – I would still like to see if the doctor would give me a referral, and she said very begrudgingly, «Well, I’ll have to see if the doctor gives an O.K.» It’s been four days and they haven’t called me back with a yes or a no. I feel like their way of dealing with requests is to just ignore them and hope they disappear. I also wonder if the receptionist was so hesitant to deliver my message to the doctor because maybe the doctor is the type of person who shoots the messenger and would be very unhappy and grumpy with the receptionist for simply delivering a patient’s request.
I could have called to check on the status of my request, but I figured, why put myself through that stress? If they’re going to treat me like I’m inconveniencing and annoying them, then I’ll just take my business elsewhere. I switched providers with my insurance company and hopefully this new doctor I will see soon will have a much more acceptable bedside manner.
Again, Dr. Aiyegbusi is a competent doctor, however, her demeanor can be quite off-​putting in certain situations. In my past experiences, her staff has been fine (like someone else said, just fine, not super friendly or anything), and the nurses who work for her are generally nice, but this last visit for me was a very unpleasant experience all around, from the doctor to her staff, so because of this I do not recommend this office.

Very nice staff. Very kind and calm Dr. In two different occasions she allowed me to walk in understanding the urgency of the situation. Helped me fast and brought my health back. Front office ladies are all extremely kind, patient and thorough. I highly recommend her.

I had a bad experience here. Avoid her if you have a brain because if she sees evidence of sound independent thinking, she becomes very upset. Also, her manner of pretending she’s a robot makes communication stressful.
Her way of finishing a conversation is running out the door, even if you still have questions.
She also hates doing diagnostic tests and doesn’t readily send you to specialists. Prescribes high dose painkillers and physical therapy for everything without finding out the cause. For me physical therapy made things worse.
Office wait 35 min to an hour. Appointments two weeks in advance.

I’m very happy with this doctor’s office since my initial review. The front office staff is now friendly and efficient, and the new P.A., Dr. Noor, is wonderful. She is smart, pleasant and a great listener. Dr. Aiyegbusi has also been helpful and cordial. Good and positive changes all around. Excellent care from this practice.

Went here for a simple Acne problem for my son and was denied medication. Had to wait over a week to get in and when we went in it wasn’t as bad as a week ago but will get bad again. Is Acne Medication addictive or something that we cant have access to it unless our son looks like the Elephant Man. Bottom line, we went here for help and got none. Like another person posted, most people probably don’t go here unless their insurance makes them. Avoid this doctor if possible.

Modupe Aiyegbusi, M.D., saved my life. I presented to this doctor for a gynecological referral. During the initial consult, she lifted my t-​shirt and noticed a suspicious mole on my back. Because she didn’t like the looks of it, she referred me to a dermatologist. A biopsy confirmed malignant melanoma. Thanks to Dr. Aiyegbusi, the cancer was caught early and my prognosis is excellent. Granted, her style is no nonsense and direct. Nonetheless, I am so thankful and I have no doubt that this doctor saved my life.

I agree with everything Cat. N said on 2÷6÷15. Definitely not very personable, but then again, most doctors make up for in smarts what they lack in social skills. God doesn’t give you everything. The reception area is also a bit too cold (personality-​wise, not temperature) and disorganized for my liking as well. I’ve had to call for blood and urine results, even when I waited way longer than I should have — and the results were still not even in the computer. They will also put you on hold at least 5 times and you’ll have to re-​explain why you are calling each of those times. You get the feeling that you’re bothering them even though you’re just being proactive about your health. I’ve asked for referrals a couple of times and never heard back from them (didn’t follow up because the issue resolved on its own, so much time had passed). I’ve chosen urgent care over this office (see my great review for that) a couple of times when I had tonsillitis and wanted a more pleasant experience. Had to pay cash but it was worth it (sadly?). One positive note is that Dr. A’s office will mostly fit you in her busy schedule (same day) if you feel it’s that urgent.

Well I arrived 15 minutes early for my first time. My appointment was at 3:30, and I was finally able to go into a patient room and have my blood pressure checked etc at 4:00 so after 45 minutes of waiting. Then was in a room and waited for about 30 minutes, then one of the ladies moved me into another room. Finally at 4:45 they check my hearing. Now at 5:00, after waiting an 1:45 minutes I still have not met my doctor. Impatient and in pain currently still waiting. Also the office hours close at 5… Me and my mom were getting very annoyed. She finally came in a little after 5. She seemed smart and knowledgable. She told me I have a heart murmur and needed physical therapy, medicine, and a blood test within five minutes. Which was just way too much info and not necessary. The two hour waiting was definitely not worth it. After she gave me a letter about what we talked about. Which didn’t even mention what to do with half the things she had told me about. She also asked me if I was sexually active in front of my mom!!! Like aren’t doctors supposed to ask the guardians to step out for those kinds of questions? That was very awkward and I did not like that one bit. Before going into the room we noticed their were maybe 1 – 2 patients after me. But when we left my mom noticed the nurse were ready to leave and that the doctor had made me last priority and had seen the patients after me, before me leaving the long wait. When we left we had seen the patient after me already at the car so I guess we were right about that. Not the best visit. Definitely just augments my hate for doctor visits though.

The front line of communication for this office is horrendous.
Nothing is a bigger turn off then having to call more than twice to schedule one appointment.
The first time I called I talked to a member of the staff (not answering service) and he stated that he can not give me an appointment. He told me to leave my number and that, «someone will call you back in an hour or by the end of the day».
No response after 24 hours. So, I call again. I was put on hold for 4.53 minutes only to have the receptionist tell me that she needs to reboot the computer to schedule an appointment.
When the receptionist got back on line she told me that she shut down the computer. What came out of her mouth next shocked me.
The receptionist told me; ’ I am not going to reboot the computer for one appointment. We are going to close in 40 minutes. You have to call back tomorrow at 9AM’.
I explained to the receptionist that calling the office again will be my 3^rd attempt to schedule an appointment. The receptionist had zero empathy, patience, and overall professional courtesy. The receptionist’s response was blunt, curt, and just plain bitchy. ‘I already told you that the computer is down and I am not rebooting it for you’!
I changed my primary care provider asap. God forbid I might have a urgent/​emergency situation and I actually need the staff’s help… I’d be screwed.

This no nonsense lady, from Africa, definitely remembered her medical lessons from the missionaries quite well. So far, I haven’t had an ailment that she hasn’t helped me defeat. Aiyegbusi knows her shit, I definitely recommend her to anybody with the need for a DOCTOR, DOCTOR
