Doctor Recommendations in Santa Monica

I second the recommendation for Tristan Bickman, OB/GYN. She's been mine for years and is fabulous. She also always has good recommendations for other specialists should you need them.

Hi D.,

I can help you out with an excellent dentist in Santa Monica. It's a husband and wife team and they are awesome w/ a very friendly staff.

Dr. Brent & Susan Hale
2901 Wilshire Blvd. (cross street is Yale)
SM CA 90403

Hope this helps and welcome to SoCal.

Dr. Sheryl Ross is an outstanding OB - my daughter had lots of complications during my pregnancy and she's a healhty 4 month old now. Dr. Michael Nagata is a terrific family practitioner and is super - his group also has a clinic.

A great dentist on Westwood Blvd in Westwood is Dr. Scott Kubota - he's a short distance from SM... all are great and I've been going to them for years!

The best OBGYN ACTUALLY he is gyn oncologist his name is James Heaps, M.D. phone number is ###-###-#### he is in Westwood at the 100 UCLA medical plaza He is the best Dr. in the world unfortunetly he does not deliever babies anymore but a great GYN wouldn't go anywhere else.

Hi,
I would recommend Dr Tristan Bickman for OB-GYN, she is GREAT. Also, Dr Richard Levy for the pediatrics. They are in the same building.
Hope this helps.

My OB is Lisa Masterson on Ocean near Santa Monica. I think she is AWESOME. Beautiful office that has a spa upstairs. I love going to the OB.

We LOVE our pediatrician: Dr. William Gurfield at 10th Street Pediatrics. We have also seen 3 other doctors in the group and they are all wonderful. You can call them and ask which doctors are taking new clients, and you can meet with them in advance. For OB/GYN, try Women's Medical Group on Wilshire near 22nd. Jacquie Snow, Karen Blanchard, Marki Knox - are all great. Very nice staff, too. Not sure about a dentist in SM. Good luck.

my obgyn dr is manoochehr yashari ###-###-#### and he is wonderful... i love him... he's an older man... so i was hesitant to go to him... but i am so in love with him... (i know that sounds weird)... but he's very calm and patient and very sweet... before i got pregnant my husband was hesitant for him to be my dr during my pregnancy because he hadn't met him but when he met him he liked him so much as well. He has a partner... her name is shamsa amersi.. and she's great as well... they are both very nice and caring ... and not the kind of dr.s to charge you and your insurance crazy amounts of money.. specially dr. yashari...

I really like our family practitioner Steven Seizer at St. John's (20th and Santa Monica) ###-###-####. I've been going to him since I was in high school and he's just very kind and straight forward. He speaks to you frankly, and seems to really respect your choices as a parent and patient. He's part of the Santa Monica Bay Physicians http://exchange.smbp.com/patients/home.htm.

Also, in the same building is my OB/GYN Aminah Bliss. She is smart, enthusiastic and flexible. She delivered my daughter and I cannot say enough about her. She's part of Plaza Tower Obstetrics ###-###-#### I think. They have some other decent folks, but stay away from Drs. Bruksch and Ewertz. They both have really crappy bedside manner and were very "I am the doctor and you are the patient"-- kind of paternalistic.

Hope that helps!
