Getting to us from Compton

What the drive looks like from Compton

Compton sits about 15 minutes west and south of our office at 8500 Florence Ave, Suite 100, in Downey. Two freeway routes and one reliable surface-street option cover every part of the city.

Via the 710 freeway (fastest most hours): Take the 710 north from central Compton toward Long Beach. Exit Florence Ave and turn right (east). Our office is on the right side of Florence, roughly one mile from the exit, between Brookshire Ave and Paramount Blvd. This route runs about 14 minutes off-peak. The 710 can slow through the Long Beach corridor during the early-afternoon merge, so check real-time traffic if you are leaving between 1 PM and 3 PM.

Via the 91 freeway (east Compton and Rosecrans corridor): If you are coming from the eastern part of Compton near the 91 corridor, take the 91 east to the Paramount Blvd exit, then north on Paramount to Florence Ave, left on Florence. The office is on the left side. About 16 to 18 minutes from Rosecrans and Central Ave.

Surface streets from Compton Civic Center area: Atlantic Ave north to Florence Ave, then right (east) on Florence. This all-surface route avoids freeway on-ramps entirely and is often competitive with the 710 during peak hours. From Acacia and Long Beach Blvd near the courthouse, expect 15 to 20 minutes depending on signal timing on Atlantic.

Parking at our office: We have a free 30-space parking lot behind the building, accessed from the alley off Brookshire Ave. No paid parking, no garages, no street-parking stress. The lot is ADA-compliant with two accessible spaces directly adjacent to the suite entrance. If a family member is dropping you off after IV sedation, they can use the designated curb pickup zone on the alley side.

The Compton we serve

Compton landmarks our patients know by heart

Compton Civic Centeranchors the city's administrative and cultural life along Acacia Ave near Long Beach Blvd. The courthouse, city hall, and main library are all within a short walk of each other. We see a steady stream of Compton city employees and court-adjacent workers from this corridor. The Civic Center is about 14 minutes from our Downey office via the 710, making a lunchtime consultation feasible for staff on a standard one-hour break if the freeway is clear.

El Camino College Compton Center on Wilmington Ave serves thousands of students and employs a large full-time and adjunct faculty base. Several of our Compton patients are Compton Center faculty or classified staff. The campus schedule creates natural appointment windows: semester breaks in mid-December and mid-May tend to be the most flexible for multi-appointment cases like All-on-4, where the implant surgery and the final prosthetic seating are spaced four to six months apart. We have worked with Compton Center patients to schedule around finals and registration cycles so no appointment conflicts with a teaching day.

MLK Transit Center on Willowbrook Ave is the main Metro rail and bus hub for central Compton, connecting the Blue Line (A Line) with multiple bus routes. For patients without a car or who prefer not to drive after sedation, the A Line runs south from downtown LA through Compton and then connects at Willowbrook. From the transit center, a rideshare to our Downey office runs roughly 15 minutes and $8 to $12. We can coordinate arrival time with any patient using the transit center as a pickup point.

Crystal Park area in north Compton sits near the 91 freeway corridor and Central Ave. Residents in this neighborhood have a direct surface-street path to our office via Atlantic Ave north and then Florence Ave east, avoiding freeway traffic entirely. Several patients from the Crystal Park and North Compton area have noted that the predictability of surface streets makes it easier to plan their appointment arrival time compared to guessing freeway conditions on the 710. We encourage patients to add an extra 10 minutes of buffer regardless of route so the consultation begins without any stress from the drive.
