This review is long overdue!!! Dr. Taymour is truly the best--worldwide! He has delivered two of my children, and I only wish I had found him sooner to deliver my oldest as well. In addition to my deliveries, he's performed two other procedures for me, including my most recent laparoscopic hysterectomy. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my care! Not only do I trust him with my life and my children's lives, but I've referred countless friends and family to him--some of whom he literally saved when other doctors dismissed their concerns and sent them home. He takes your health seriously, listens, and acts when it matters most. I will continue to refer him time and time again and will always choose him for my care. Dr. Taymour truly has your health and your whole well-being at heart. read more

Thankfully this is not my normal OB. I was referred to Allsafe for a colposcopy and biopsy following an abnormal pap-smear. 1st- they've outsourced their nursing team to the Philippines, so there are no actual nurses in the office; just 1 CNA to do everything the RN on the screen can't do: take temperature and pulse etc. 2nd- the outsourcing doesn't bother me much as long as the ball isn't dropped, but this office COMPLETELY DROPPED THE BALL when they sent me home with ZERO aftercare instructions. It was only 2 days later after having intercourse with my husband that the profuse bleeding started, which ended up in an Urgent Care visit. How did I have a BIOPSY and then be sent home with ZERO AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS?!?!?! And how the hell am I supposed to know on my own that I was to avoid ANYTHING IN THE VAGINAL AREA for 2-4 weeks????? Terrible service. RISKY service. I could have ended up with an infection!!!!! I called their emergency nurse who consulted me to go to urgent care, and NO ONE HAS EVEN CALLED ME TO CHECK AND SEE HOW THE SUNDAY URGENT CARE VISIT WENT! Terrible. I'd give no stars if I could. read more

I would not recommend this office. Nurse practitioner Tiffany Lin was the first OBGYN I've seen since I've been diagnosed and it was very disappointing. She truly looks at you look you're silly and is very dismissive. Almost a robotic exchange. If you have fibroids or think you may have Endo I would not recommend this Office. The appointment also felt rushed and the office was also very dirty looking and run down read more

Ever since Dr. Essam Taymour left this practice, it's basically gone to hell in a hand basket! Once Dr. Taymour left, I was passed on to Dr. Velasco, then she went to work at a different office, so they passed me on to Dr. Addias Mervin, who would not refill my prescriptions unless I came in to see him even though I had recently been seen by Dr. Velasco. However, I abided by his request and went in. He literally just sat across from me, haphazardly checked my chart, and then assured me that he would submit my prescription refills to my compounding pharmacy, but he put the wrong dosage on one of them, and I had to come back. I don't understand how he could've messed that up since I brought in and handed him both of the prescription bottles so that there would be no mistakes! I went directly to the pharmacy, but they made me aware of his mistake. I decided to go back to the office to have Dr. Mervin fix the mistake, but I waited two hours for him to fix it so that I could get my refill, but then he forgot to submit the refill for the second medication. He has since moved to the Torrance office. Once again, I literally had to go into the office in person because there are no phones in the office - they use some overseas answering service so patient calls never go directly to the office staff. I was supposed to have a follow up with Dr. Mervin this month, but I got a call from the service saying that his schedule had changed and he wouldn't be available for my appointment date and I had to reschedule, so I did, but my understanding was that I was going to see Dr. Mervin again; however, not until the middle of October. Now, for the fourth time, I'm being passed on to Dr. Francois Bui and without any warning. I had to go into the office today to once again request a refill, a refill that should have been ordered at my last visit in June, but Dr. Mervin failed to do it. I asked the staff to contact him to get him to sign off on the request, but because he had never submitted the refill in the first place, Dr. Velasco's name was on the request. Dr. Bui, who was in the office, and who I'm supposed to see in October, was not willing to review my chart and sign off on the prescription request, so now I have to hope that Dr. Velasco will actually sign off on the request. I am utterly disappointed and angry! Save yourself the frustration and lack of standard of care from Allsafe and all of their locations. Go somewhere else where there is continuity of care, professionalism, and the doctor's actually care about their patient's wellbeing! This place is a total joke! read more

This will be a "historical review" as Yelp wasn't around in 1986. I was seeing Dr. Taymour for fertility issues back in 1985. He's a wonderful, compassionate human being. After seeing him, and going through many tests, I conceived and delivered what I deem to be my "miracle baby." I had only one child but she was/is my everything. She will be 39 years old this year and has three babies of her own. I hope Dr. Taymour is retired with grand babies of his own. I think of him often. read more

Dr. Anubhav Agrawal was very nice, understanding. He took the time to listen to me, asked appropriate questions about my 'POP' situation. He did NOT Rush to tell me I Needed surgery. Every woman is different, we all need different treatments. Dr. Agrawal understands and HEARS you, No pressure! I feel so much better, THANK YOU DOCTOR! Samantha and the front staff was friendly n helpful. Btw, the bathroom is very nice too! read more

See all

I went here to see Dr. Velasco and had a horrible experience. She seemed dismissive of me completely, was uninterested in discussing what symptoms I had and told me to wait for menopause to feel better. I requested any kind of testing or treatment such as a biopsy because I had been having chronic pain for more than two years and couldn't just wait for menopause to start on the off chance that would resolve it. She told me I needed to eat more fruits and veggies and lose weight. I got up and said we are done and walked out. Turns out I have had deep pelvic endometriosis all this time and it's now attaching to my colon, which could cause other major health challenges. Telling someone to lose weight without any actual medical treatment or care is a recipe for disaster and cause for malpractice liability. read more

i had a routine pap. they suggested that i make an appt to get the results. unclear on the concept. If there was an issue I would be notified. Staff is quite rude. oh how i miss Dr Taymour. read more

This is the best OBGYN office I have ever been to. I am so lucky I found this place. Dr. Taymour not only is an EXPERT in this field but he actually cares. I'm not even scared of getting surgery because he will be the one performing it. This office is so nice. Britney, the receptionist is the sweetest person ever. She is on top of her job and 10/10 customer service. Briana I have had twice now being the one to take my vitals & go over information with me & she is also so sweet with 10/10 customer service. Thank you all for everything!!! read more

AllSafe Medical Group - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Long Beach, California

Stay away from AllSafe Medical Group. Dr. Taymour was an amazing doctor until they pushed him out last week. When he sold the practice to AllSafe in 2024, the service went from personal to not. It went from excellent to horrible. I experienced several mistakes with my prescriptions after communications with AllSafe. They repeatedly called my prescriptions into a pharmacy (CVS) that I had never been to. This occurred after I explained where I had obtained my prescriptions for the past 2 years and where I requested them to be sent (Walgreens). They made multiple mistakes with my appointments, billing, and lab requests. The staff in the office and people who answer the phone are completely incompetent and don't care about you as a patient. I can't believe that they are working in the health care industry. Please stay away from the AllSafe Groups if you want what's best for your health. I'm thankful to have had Dr. Essam Taymour as my Ob/Gyn and wish him the best of luck with his future endeavors. I will not be returning to AllSafe Medical Group. read more

I would give 0 stars if I could for the current state of this business. Very seldom do I feel compelled to write a review, however after being exposed to the incompetent and nonexistent patient support by the "new" provider support staff, I felt it was my civic duty. It took over a day for staff to confirm my basic patient information from my last appointment scheduled (after escalating and following up on my side since I never heard back). I was informed they couldn't somehow find me in their system despite having been a patient for years... When I inquired about my previous appointments and records, I was told that I had to come in person and sign a release form in order to access my own medical records due to this transition. In 2025...I am stunned they are expecting people to take time off work to drive to and from an office to sign documents easily emailed via DocuSign. Dr. Taymour is a great doctor, and it is a shame I will not be able to see him as a provider anymore because of this poorly handled company transition. However, I truly cannot endure the incompetence and unprofessional nature of the new customer support staff in continuity. Should the business happen to read this, the "Scheduling Supervisor" ignored my requests and questions, gaslit me, and then hung up my last call to do avoid having to do her job and provide any type of support. This is incredibly frustrating, and I would expect that questions surrounding a new transition (when no information or direction was shared with prior patients), would be met with empathy. As evidenced by the influx of recent 1 star reviews, this lack of service is an unfortunate pattern. Do better, because you are driving patients away from a highly skilled doctor. Wishing all the best to Dr. Taymour though, he is a fantastic doctor! read more

This dr. has no consideration of the patient scared the heck of me and then walks out without going back to check on me. Never never will I go back there heart less read more

This place is the absolute worst. My doctor left this practice and I am trying to get my prescription for thyroid medication . The system at all safe is that there is no system at all. They are very disorganized and everything is computerized, so the disorganization makes no sense.Dr Taymour was the only good thing about this place, and he is now gone. Do not get involved with this medical group unless you have a good psychiatrist on retainer. read more

All Safe ruined this practice. I had been a patient of Dr Taymour's since 1997. In 2024, unknown to me, he merged or sold to All Safe. I had trouble for a year getting prescriptions because AllSafe put in the wrong year for my last physical. They missed, or Dr Taymour wasn't informed, that a test showed another problem that should be investigated. I could not get through the phone maze to reach ANYONE to get help. It was like Dr Taymour was untouchable. AllSafe should be investigated. Yes, Dr Taymour was getting old, and his practice was mostly paper not computer records, but they never messed up until AllState took over. read more

Amazing experience, excellent staff, and quality care! Highly reccomend this place and will definetly be coming back.

What happened to Dr Taymour? Did he re-locate or retire? He has taken care of me for over 25 years. Excellent Dr! definitely conducted business with passion and dignity. Everything went downhill when AllSafe Medical Group came aboard. Now no one knows where he is or what happened. Had an upcoming appointment on 12/12. I will never step foot back in that office. Thank you for everything Dr Taymour! read more

Changed doctors after the first visit. It was my first prenatal visit and he walks in burping and eyes rolling back from eating too much. Unprofessional and made my family and I uncomfortable. Considering I was 10 weeks pregnant seeing him burp made me violently nauseous. read more

No consideration for patients. I scheduled an IUD a month in advance was told I had to coordinate it with the last day of my period I took two pills to vaginally the night before I left work as early as possible to make it on time for my appointment and unfortunately got there 3 min late since traffic pushed my ETA further back. I was told there is no grace period and so my appointment was cancelled. I genuinely couldn't follow through with rescheduling to put my body through a change in preparation for this appointment and cancel over 3 minutes. I'd rather find a new clinic than to be a patient where they justify treating their patients like this over "protocol". read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Taymour for the last thirty five years. He delivered three of my children and assisted in a failed pregnancy. He has always been professional, proficient in his craft, skilled in his profession. I have recommended many friends and family over the years. As of today, I am utterly disappointed in the level of service of the office staff. He has shifted to some sort of office support company who no longer considers patients as patients, now I feel like a number and a dollar sign. I am trying my best to stay a patient of his as there has been a rapport established over time and history. I am now unable to speak to the front office staff. I call and the system routes me to inevitably end up leaving a message. It is nearly worse than being on the Apple website and chatting with technical support. At least with Apple I walk away with an appointment or my issue is trouble shooted hence resolved. Sadly, I overheard a front office staff member speak poorly about the doctor. Unbeknownst to him, I speak the office staffs native language fluently as it is my first language as well. It was very unfortunate to hear the office person say what he said in reference to the well established and esteemed professional who employs him. The only reason I stay is for the doctor himself and his institutional knowledge and skills. I am not sure what to do at this point. Sadly, look elsewhere if you would like a marriage of service and skill in your obstetrician. read more

Dr Taymour is an excellent obgyn. He saw me thru my hysterectomy experience from A to Z. I had a million questions thru the process and the doc was patient in answering all with no rush. We had several appointments to assess and confirm my issues (fibroids and endo), and review treatment options. Ultimately decided laparoscopic hysterectomy best for me and his bedside manner before and after surgery has been informative and comforting. Also I know everyone heals differently but I must say after going thru YouTube rabbit hole I was convinced I wouldn't be able to sit up on my own for days after surgery. Following my procedure with Dr Taymour I sat up without assistance the same day and have been feeling great ever since! read more

Dr nurses and office staff were fine but it seems they merged with another provider who is just horrible. Everything is routed through their call center and the staff there doesn't have any idea what is going on-or even know enough to say so instead they just freely pass out inaccurate information. Totally wasted my time on multiple occasions. I was paying cash for elective services so I'll take that business somewhere else read more

Dr. Taymour and his staff are so special. In a world of rushed and generic healthcare, this office sets itself apart. I've never waited longer than 5 minutes. The office is extremely clean and inviting. Parking is easy. The type of exams and help needed at this type of office can be daunting and nerve wracking but Dr. Taymour and his staff put you at ease while getting the job done. Dr. Taymour discusses sensitive and personal issues with such class, care and tact. He always has a great action plan with many solutions and options. Never judging or pushy. He's performed 3 c-sections on me and the dreaded Pap smear and all have been performed flawlessly. I truly appreciate this office and wish they could handle all my health needs. read more

Great experience..everyone was wonderful front desk nurse doctor ..so happy my GP recommended this Office and Dr

Waited for an hour and a half and still never saw the doctor. There was literally no one else in the waiting room. Staff assured me several times that it wouldn't be much longer. I have to say I'm beyond disappointed. read more

Well it is good to know they don't need the business. I found them on yelp years ago and liked them because they" were"a small local office. Hmmm not anymore they use a call center now and don't have accurate information. According to them they had no patients or information prior to November 2024 LOL ok I guess I need to find a real Doctor. read more

Dr. Taymour and his staff are awesome. I live in Fullerton and was under the care of a gynecologist locally for my heavy periods caused by fibroids. I discovered Dr. Taymour's website because he offered the Sonata Treatment for fibroids, which I wanted to look into as a possible treatment. (My other gynecologists did not offer this procedure and I have been dealing with heavy periods for at least 4 years.) I wasn't a candidate for the procedure but he moved forward with options that weren't offered to me by my prior doctors. He also performed my hysterectomy and I am recovering well. Other doctors said a vaginal hysterectomy would not be possible for me but Dr. Taymour did it. He is experienced and was thorough and followed up with my care. I like his office and I drive from Fullerton to see him. He's really nice and caring. read more

Being from San Diego I already know I need to travel to Los Angeles in order to get a good doctor, dentist, or any other professional. Dr. Taymour is AWESOME - he is 100% worth the 100-mile drive. Dr. Taymour is extremely knowledgeable, skilled, and professional. During my surgical consult, he thoroughly explained the procedure for my diagnosis, and he also provided probabilities which eliminated unneccessary concern. My laproscopic Gyn surgery was a bit tricky, but Dr. Taymour's expertise allowed him to navigate through the added surgical complexity without a problem. Not only did he perform the procedure flawlessly, he even went the extra mile to use 2 prior incision points from a previous scar. Dr. Taymour is also current on a variety of other gynecological treatments, including Biote HRT, as well as PEMF therapy. The office staff has been great as well, especially Cindy who was able to schedule my surgery in only 2 weeks after she had another cancellation. If I need to reschedule an appointment a couple days later, the staff is always very accommodating. I highly recommend Dr. Taymour - he is an exceptional OB/GYN. read more

I would like to start off by saying Dr. Taymour did do a good job with my procedure. The recovery this time around was much less painful than the first time I had it done by another physician. However, his bedside manner is lacking. During the consultation visit before surgery he rushed out of the room while I was still asking questions and I didn't even get to ask everything I wanted. He was literally standing in the doorway on his way out as I was still talking; this should have been my first clue to find a different doctor but I figured I needed to have it done ASAP. I believe that visit lasted a total of 2-minutes. I also recall being very nervous before the procedure and he did little to make me feel at ease (I know he is not a therapist but some encouraging words would have been nice.) After the procedure, while in the recovery room he never cared to ask how I felt physically. He proceeded to inform me that another procedure will need to be done at a later date and tells me that my odds of conceiving were slim to none. After that, he then walked away and he yelled down the hall to another nurse or surgeon "I told her she would need "xyz" done," which felt like a violation of HIPPA Law as well as an invasion of privacy and to be honest, it was embarrassing as there were staff and another patient being prepped alongside me. I felt he could have told me all of this at my follow-up appointment. To top all of that off, during my follow-up appointment he provided me with some unsolicited advice about alcohol which had nothing to do with the reason for my visit/procedure. He kept trying to get me to schedule another appointment and I refused three times. Overall, I feel that he was more concerned about the amount of money he'd be receiving for surgery rather than how he made me feel. If he thinks he will be doing another surgery on me without a second opinion he is out of his mind! Definitely won't ever go back! read more

Being that I just moved from FL to LA for the second time , I'm here to stay so it was time to find a Kitty doctor. I had the same OBGYN for about decade so it wasn't easy for me to let any one in. I did some research on yelp found Dr. Taymour and all I can say is.. WOW!! I really believed people who make comments about his demeanor were either extremely sensitive or not friendly. In the 20 min I spoke to him not only did he answer all my questions, I learned about his family his daughter in NYC and his back-round and country of origin. I did a PAP and some blood work it was fast and efficient. In and out. I recommend him to any woman who wants a personable, knowledgeable, efficient OBGYN. Edited Review: Please be mindful of them billing you correctly. For example I went in for a wellness check up which is considered preventative and 100% covered. Not only did I receive a bill for the Wellness check up but also a bill to receive results, results that was readily available to me through LabCorp. Just be mindful of hidden charges always ask what you will and will not be charged for. read more

Best OB EVER!! I've recommended him to every woman I know! He really knows his stuff if you know what I mean!

I wouldn't waste my time going here. I went there and after he gave me my diagnosis just sat there with a blank look and didnt give me any information whatsoever his suggestion was do kegals. I decided to go to a professional another dr elsewhere and she gave me a lot of info and even said that his diagnosis was inaccurate and found a solution. Worst experience ever will not be returning. read more

I was thinking about Dr. Taymour today and wondered if he was still practicing. I am delighted he remains an amazing resource for so many women. Dr. Taymour delivered my first and only child in 1986 after I sought advice for infertility. He had taken over my physicians practice and I was so glad he did! After several different procedures I became pregnant! He took such good care of us throughout my pregnancy and I shall be forever grateful he was my doctor. My daughter would be my only child but I adored being a mom and I am now enjoying the benefits of being a new grandma! Forever grateful, Joan Rodrigues P.S. I don't know why but Dr. Taymour always reminded me of Billy Crystal - maybe not the humor but his looks! read more

Dr. Taymour did me the service of removing a couple of tumors from my ovaries last year. It was after my ER visit to Long Beach Memorial Medical Center with a rupture that I realized the importance of seeing an ob-gyn, rather than a PA, every year for my "women's health stuff." Making & changing appointments with his office is easy, and he's located in a somewhat-shady part of Long Beach just off Atlantic Ave (great proximity to LBMMC, which is probably why he did my surgery!). Park in the lot behind the office; if you park to the left you are in the CVS lot and apparently they will tow your car (so says the sign!). Although it's only been a year, I do feel more confident in the exams I'm getting, and that any weird growths or abnormalities will be caught sooner than they were before. I also like that he follows the newer guidance from the ACOG that recommends a 2-year schedule for paps, rather than every year, so long as your results are normal and your recent history is clear. Less poking, prodding, and scraping for me! read more

Best doctor ever. Straight to the point no BS Tells you what's wrong what you need to do about it. He fixed it, made it possible for me and my fiancé have an opportunity to have children. Hardly any marks after my surgery he did it all laparoscopically minimal pain If I had to do it all over again I would go straight to him instead of screwing around with other doctors read more

Great surgeon! Seeing Dr. Jacobs for my annual, it was clearly known I had severe endometriosis along with a few other issues. That is when I met Dr Taymour. Straight forward kind of guy. I've had two surgeries with him and both have been very successful and my last one -wow recovery has been awesome. One thing I suggest for those who say he doesn't chat much- well he's a busy man so I suggest u do ur research and make a list of questions and or concerns you have. He will answer them but he can't read your mind. I've always been seen on time. His office staff is great and always very informative. I'm happy I found Dr Jacobs thru Yelp becuz i don't think I would have met Dr Taymour. read more

Dr. Taymour was referred to me after I suffered a miscarriage and it was the best referral I've ever had. Dr. Taymour is very knowledgeable and thorough. He is very patient and his staff are really nice. This combination is very hard to come by. Anytime I call his office with any question, Dr. Taymour always stops what he is doing to answer my questions. I finally feel like I have the right person on my team and he makes me feel like know I am in good hands. UPDATE: He delivered two healthy boys for me :-) My first was born in 2012. My second was born in 2015 :-) Flawless execution! read more

Dr. Taymour is very professional. Explains every drop of what he wants you to know. Makes you feel comfortable and has the time to listen. Alana, is such a great nurse. I felt very comfortable with her, she's not like other nurses that are just doing her job. She's very friendly and very nice! Gave me a couple is laughs. Highly recommended! read more

Im updating my review as I have given birth and my pregnacy is over. I am still going to recommend Dr. Taymour. Here is the truth, if you are looking for a friend, do not go to him. If you are looking for chit chat, do not go to him. However, if you want a wonderful doctor who knows what he is doing efficiency, go quickly to Dr. Taymour. He knows his stuff and well. He will not chat with you, but he will answer straight questions. He can be late to appointments by a while, but every time he was, he had surgery or emergency at the hospital. He never canceled an appt. AS TO MY EXPERIECE WITH HIM: I had a hard time bc at first I wanted and expected a Dr who would talk a lot.... He is not one. He got down to the point if and when there was a problem. He doesn't joke or chit chat. My pregnancy was rough, and my labor was even rougher. But I'm glad I had Dr. Taymour. He was efficient when he knew I needed a csecection and assured me I would be fine, even when I freaked out. We had a great surgery and I was up and going a few hours Later (which isn't normal). He even came to visit and check on me and the baby in nicu twice. His office staff is great, and I loved Alana who was my nurse throughout my pregnancy and esp wiki started going twice a week at 30 weeks. I def Recommend Dr. T. read more

I have been a patient of Dr T since 1991. I love him! I drive 45 miles to see him. I was experiencing severe pain with intercourse. Dr Taymour treated me with a new procedure called the Mona Lisa". It has been life changing. My husband and I are both very happy with the results. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is having the same problem. read more

After a terrible experience with another OB/GYN doctor, I am so glad I found Dr. Taymour as my new doctor. When I met him, he made sure to ask me questions for information he needed to know, as well as answer all my questions in great detail. He is very genuine with his patients, which I appreciated very much. The nurses and staff are very nice and helpful as well, which made me feel welcome and comfortable. I wish I could say more, but giving too much information is too much information, in a medical sense, haha. Overall, I just am very happy with this doctor and I will continue visiting him from now on. Thanks! read more
