Patient Concierge

For Patients Living Outside California

Many women travel from outside California to take advantage of the continuity of care provided by Dr. Bruce McLucas and his medical team for fibroid embolization. In fact, Dr. McLucas is the only OBGYN that performs this procedure. We've had patients from as far away as New York or Philadelphia and from countries such as Mexico, Nigeria, and Kuwait.

We're here to help. Your experience before, during and after surgery should be as worry free as possible. That's why we've assembled a list of resources to help with travel and accommodations.

Air Transportation

Patients traveling from outside the Los Angeles area fly to LAX, Los Angeles International Airport located at 1 World Way Los Angeles, CA 90045

Convenient transportation is offered from LAX airport to Westwood via LAX FlyAway Bus. They offer convenient regularly scheduled service, seven days a week, from LAX to Westwood and returning from Westwood to LAX for a flat one-way rate of $10.00

Public Transportation

Passengers can take the "C" Shuttle from the LAX Shuttle & Airline Connections sign on the Lower/Arrival Level islands in front of each terminal to get to the Metro Bus Center, where they can board city buses serving the Los Angeles area. Information on city bus services is available by telephone on the Information Display Board in the baggage claim area in each terminal. In addition, passengers can obtain local transit information by calling 323.GO.METRO (323.466.3876) or by visiting Metro.net.
