We recently moved close to the Cedars Sinai medical center in Los Angeles. My OB/GYN who was based in woodland hills does not practise OB anymore, and besides I found out I am 6 weeks pregnant.

I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could recommend a good and efficient OB/GYN practicing at or anywhere close to cedars sinai.
Thanks.

So What Happened?

I would like to thank each one of you for taking the time to give your recommendations. I was quite tensed about moving to a new place and starting over the search of looking for a new doctor as I was very comfortable to my old OB/GYN. But thanks to you all I know whom to look for.
Once again thank you all.

I LOVE my OB, drove from the westside to BH (on Robertson, near Wilshire) to see him, and, although, I wanted to give birth at St. Johns in SM, he only delivers at Cedars, so I switched.

He is a younger doctor, gentle and kind, I had a blood clotting issue and was on meds, so I had many questions throughout my pregnancy, and he was patient and listened and walked me through in a very understanding way.

I wanted to make sure that he wasn't going to be one of those OBs who's in a group and may not show for the birth, but, he was there, every step.

He also was voted doctor of the year by the doula association. I had a birth plan and wanted to stick with it, he did his best, but, of course, let me know when he had to stray from it.

My husband really liked him too.

I highly recommend him.

Hello,

Congratulations on your pregnancy! It's an exciting time for you I'm sure. I can happily refer Dr. Lewis Wyatt Jr. He is located in the East Tower of the Cedars Sinai Medical Towers. Which is great because when it comes time for delivery, he or you can walk over to the hospital directly from his office. I interviewed several OB's when having my first child and Dr. Wyatt delivered both of my children. My husband also really liked him. He has a great bedside manner and he has many years of experience. He's the only OB in his practice, so you won't be in a medical group. His office is well run and his staff is very efficient. His office number is ###-###-####. Best wishes to you.

Good luck with your pregnancy and I wish you a safe delivery.

The absolute best Ob/Gyn in BH is Susan Cohen, MD, 8920 W Olympic Blvd., ###-###-####. She's very honest, very real, non-judgmental, extremely personable, caring....I could go on and on about her. She's very thorough, takes the time to answer all of your questions, gets to know you. Her office is beautiful. I've referred too many of my friends and colleagues to her, and they all rave about her as well. She once called me personally before office hours to say that she was delivering 2 babies and would not be able to keep her appt with me, and she apologized profusely. She then said she would come in on Sunday to see me for my (very routine) check-up! Even though I moved away before she could deliver my baby, she's delivered many of my friends' babies. She doesn't just show up and catch and deliver like many OBs either. She checks up on you personally through the whole labor. Also, her office has free parking!!

Dr. Karen Morse is the BEST!!! She delivers at Cedars and her regular office is right next door. She is the sweetest, most competent doctor. Always reassuring and helpful. I am 10 weeks pregnant with my first baby, but I have heard from other women in the waiting room that Dr. Morse has the best bedside manner. We live in the valley but I would drive anywhere to see her. The office number is ###-###-####.

As you can see there are many great OB/Gyn's at Cedars. I go to Peyman Banooni, his office is on Robertson Bvld (No. of Wilshire). I've been with him pretty much since he started his practice several years ago and I've always been happy with his care! He is busy, but when I am there he makes me feel like I am the only patient there and all that matters. He is patient, honest and very calm. I have an almost 2 year old son and plan on having another, I would not go anywhere else.
Good luck and Congratulations!!

HI

I see someone has already recommended Ayanna Walden at the Heldfund Medical group at Cedars. She was excellent. I had a cesarean due to breech presentation. Her bedside manner is spectacular and when she was visiting in the hospital following the birth, she told the nursing staff and everyone to not wake me so I could rest and she returned to check on me a second time. This was on her Sunday! She also signed off on letting me leave the hospital early as I was anxious to get home. Cedars is excellent. Definitely use their lactation consultations.

best of luck,
liz
