When my long-time family doctor passed away, I was racing against the clock in search of a new internal medicine physician due to a fast-approaching major surgery. After several attempts to find a new internal medicine doctor who was knowledgeable, skilled, compassionate, & willing to accept a new last-minute patient with a complex case, proved unsuccessful, a family friend recommended Dr. Amanuel Sima. Although located on famed "Restaurant Row" in Beverly Hills, California, if you're looking for a trendy or "luxe" medical office, you're in the wrong place. What it lacks in luxury, however, is more than compensated by the warm & welcoming staff & treatment you receive as a patient. When Dr. Sima walked into the room during our first meeting, I immediately felt cared for. Not only is he knowledgeable & intelligent, but he was friendly, down-to-earth, kind, funny, & reassuring. He graciously agreed to step-in & assume the role as my primary care physician, & from the moment we met, Dr. Sima reached over, touched me, & said with a warm & reassuring smile, "we're going to get you better." He took care of my exams, tests, & pre-op. He tackled issues that presented themselves as major stumbling blocks to the upcoming surgery, & immediately called his colleagues on my behalf (while I was sitting there), & coordinated additional treatments & visits with other experts from Cedars-Sinai who were immediately added to my care team. Considering that time was of the essence, Dr. Sima helped eliminate practically all of the "red-tape" that I may have had to endure on my own, & helped enable me to quickly access the care I so desperately needed at that time without delay. During my stay as an inpatient at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Dr. Sima visited me on numerous occasions. He not only checked-on my status, made recommendations, & noted my progress as an inpatient, but he showed genuine concern & compassion as he aims to treat the "whole person." Understanding that smiles & laughter are wonderful additions to modern medicine in the promotion of healing, Dr. Sima even hung out for a little while & watched my favourite cartoons with me during an inpatient visit! I never thought I would giggle so much from my hospital bed! A doctor who is knowledgeable, compassionate, kind, funny, AND loves cartoons as much as I do? BONUS!!! Seriously...he really brought a smile to my face when he would visit. I may have a long way to go, but I want to say "Thank You" to Dr. Sima for everything. You made a positive difference in my life during a very challenging time, & I cannot thank you enough. You were truly a Blessing & a bright star on my care team. read more

Professional care at Amanuel Sima,MD. Highly Recommended. I have been a patient with Amanuel Sima for several years. I highly recommend his professional worth. read more

Dr. Sima is now my PCP and he has been there for me through the past few years. When I call for help he is always there even if I am on work travel or during that lockdown era. He is an amazing doctor who knows how to treat complex breathing and allergy symptoms and doesn't give me antibiotics unless I actually really need them! I have gone to both offices and they are both great. I come from far away to see him and it is totally worth it for such great care. read more

I love this office!!!! The entire staff is friendly, professional, welcoming and super accommodating. Myra met with me first to take the standard vitals. Her energy was fantastic and she set the tone for the rest of my appointment. Next I was greeted by Dr. Sima. He was on time and personable which is a rare encounter when dealing with doctors. He genuinely was engaged with me as his patient. He was able to make proper diagnosis during our exam. I love that his office is a one stop shop! I had to get an ultrasound & blood work while there, and I just walked 5 steps to the next room to complete. The epitome of convenience. Dana completed an ultrasound of my neck. She made sure I was comfortable. She was quick but thorough. Last, but certainly not least, Alem was the phlebotomist. I am not a fan of getting blood drawn, however, she made it painless and quick. I barely felt a thing. If you are looking for an internal medicine doctor, I highly recommend. I am truly grateful I found this office! Note: This doctor has two offices. I went to the office in Beverly Hills. read more

Amanuel Sima, M.D., F.A.A.S.M - Business card - Internal Medicine Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Dr. Sima and his office team have been taking excellent care of me for the past 14 years. They truly are the most dedicated, caring, and amazing healthcare team I have ever known - truly, they are more like family. Over the years, I have been in several urgent situations where hospitalization was necessary. Dr. Sima's dedication to his patients goes way beyond the call of duty and he does not rest until solutions to root cause problems are found. Always quick to respond, you will not find a better doctor than Dr. Sima. If I could give this review 100 starts, I gladly would. read more

I've been going to Dr. Sima for many years now, and I can say with absolute certainty that there is no one like him! His professionalism and amazing service as well as his general care for his patients is one to be valued. I recently had a physical and had a few concerns before going in. He called me back with my results and went over everything in detail, answering all of my questions and putting my mind at ease. I highly recommend Dr. Sima without reservation!! read more

Dr. Sima is an amazing physician. He treats his patients like family and practices medicine with heart.

Just truly most awful Dr. Misdiagnosed and ignored cat scan results. Said I was fine and I am and was far from it. Missed the boat. To busy talking about himself in alpha male style to see the problems I had needed more than their unsanitary machines to find. A spit test. So many more missed exams would have been smart. Find another opinion maybe. read more

A friendly and approachable doctor that was very engaging. He was very thorough with my physical exam. I would suggest morning appointments because of street parking. read more

I just had the worst experience with Dr. Sima's office. I have been a patient for several years and found him to be a very good doctor, even though the wait times to see him were always long. I was recently prescribed Meloxicam when I was diagnosed with arthritis after visiting my Orthopedist for pain I was experiencing in my elbow. He prescribed Meloxicam which worked. When I called his office to give him an update, he said that I should see my Internist and get future refills through him. So I made an appointment with Dr. Sima and discussed the situation and he gave me a refill for Meloxicam when I ran out. I was preparing to go out of the country for 2 weeks and didn't have enough pills to cover that time period so I called his office for a refill. I called several times over the next few days and got no response. The day before I was to leave for vacation, his nurse informed me that he WOULD NOT refill the prescription and that I needed see a doctor that handles pain management. Why did he give me a refill initially? Why didn't he just tell me that I needed to see a doctor for pain management, I would have been happy to do so? What kind of doctor does that!? I am horrified that a highly regarded doctor would treat a patient in this manner; the least he could have done was prescribe enough pills for me to get through my trip. I am 75 years old and I have never had a doctor show such a low-level of compassion, that will cause me to spend my vacation in arthritic pain. read more

This morning I visited again Dr. Sima and I am as excited as always. That's the reason why I would like to share my feelings here and help make the right decision for those who suffer from asthma like me and who are looking for someone to help them. I have never met a doctor who would be more concerned about his patients. I've been going to him for a few years now, and even though I've moved to San Francisco, I still want to go to him because I believe no one else would be as caring and attentive as he is. And not only the doctor, but his entire clinic and staff is amazing. I always feel at home there. The place is perfectly clean and well organized, everybody is smiling and helpful and as I have already said... Dr. Sima is the number one!!! read more

I am a senior citizen suffering from chronic asthma and/or COPD. I have been to many doctors for this issue, but still no relief. Dr. Sima's reviews were impressive, so I made an appointment for Friday 5/28 at 2:40 PM, around 10 days in advance. I know the neighborhood on La Cienega well and I knew that parking might be challenging. The office informed me in advance that I could park in the building for $19, but I found a convenient space on the street with a one hour meter, when I parked at 2:30 PM. As this was an initial consult, I was confident I'd be done before 4 or could run out briefly and move the car. I checked in with the receptionist. The waiting room crowded and more patients streamed in. By 3 PM no one had said a word to me. I asked the receptionist how far behind the doctor was and mentioned that my meter would expire at 4. She could not tell me when I would be seen, but told me that I should be finished by 4. I was finally brought back to an exam room around 3:20, 40 minutes beyond my appointment time. A nurse took my vitals. She was nice enough. Before she left, I asked again, how long before the doctor would see me, but she couldn't answer. At 3:45 still no sign of the doctor. I went back to the receptionist, quite angry and wanting to leave, but hoping she might apologize/explain and tell me the doctor is ready to see me. She was on the phone. I said, "I'm leaving" and she gestured that I should wait, but no thanks. Dr. Sima may, in fact, be a great physician, but only he is responsible for how his practice is run and the quality of the patients' experience. As a senior citizen, I have obviously experienced many visits, with many doctors, but this office and this practice are an absolute disaster, to be avoided at all costs. read more

First let me start by saying Dr Sima and his staff are awesome. Dr Sima genuinely listens to your complaints and treats you with respect. Which is important when it comes to establishing a patient, doctor relationship. When I showed up to Dr Sima I was a walking wreck, but he said I'll get you back together and he did. He will definitely get to the bottom of your medical problem. The medical care I have received by Dr Sima is beyond spectacular. Thank you Dr Sima read more

Best Doctor good advice I seen different doctors past 20 years but Doctor Sima exceed my expectations clean office helpful staff good to keep them family doctor and all medical advice read more

Dr. Sima is awesome. A delightful man with positive energy and knowledge base that will blow your mind. My first visit, I was sitting in the waiting room and he walked by on the way to see another patient flashed me a great big smile and said hello and immediately made me feel welcomed. You can definitely tell he loves what he does. He takes his time with you to really get to know you and tries to get understand the problem instead of immediately pulling out the script pad. He is up on the latest research and studies so he knows his stuff. I feel really lucky to have found Dr. Sima and highly recommend him! He also has an office in Inglewood. read more

Dr.Sima has been my primary doctor for over a decade and I have to say that he is one of the most patient and compassionate doctors that I have ever had. He's professional , efficient and always gets to the root of the problem. He listens and engages with his patients and makes you feel comfortable and assured that whatever is going on with your health that he will diagnose and treat the problem or get you to the right specialist that can . He's the best and most knowledgeable doctor that I have ever encountered . I've referred him to family and friends. -Tracy Keeling read more

AMAZING doctor-- I am so thankful for Dr. Sima. I went to a highly rated allergist who was convinced that I had asthma, but Dr. Sima determined that diagnosis to be 100% false. He reviewed the allergist's paperwork and did comprehensive testing of his own, and found that none of the tests (including the allergist's) would lead to a conclusion of anything other than allergies. I would have been on an asthma inhaler indefinitely, perhaps for the rest of my life, if I had not sought a second opinion from Dr. Sima. His office staff is so nice and thoughtful, too. I can't thank them enough for such a great experience. Dr. Sima is an absolute gem. read more

After three years of being misdiagnosed with chronic bronchitis by numerous ER doctors and my then doctor, taking steroids several times a year, chronic use of antibiotics, being told to use Advair, and using a daily rescue inhaler, Dr. Sima correctly diagnosed me in less than five minutes. After being in and out of ER's for so long, I had developed a horrific cough that led to stress incontinence, inability to talk, drive or work, and inability to sleep for more than a couple hours a night. Dr. Sima literally gave me my life back! I just wish I would have met him sooner. He is THE most amazing physician I have encountered in decades. Because of a childhood orthopedic problem, I have been to more doctors than most people see in a lifetime. Dr. Sima is compassionate, knowledgeable, kind, super upbeat and positive, and overall absolutely wonderful! He and his staff take exceptional care of all of their patients. I HIGHLY recommend him to anybody looking for a doctor who genuinely enjoys taking care and serving his patients. You will not find a doctor with a better bed-side manner. I just wish he could open offices in the South Bay and/or Calabasas area so I didn't have to drive to Beverly Hills or Inglewood. Because he is such an awesome doctor, I would drive anywhere in Los Angeles county to see him. I love, love, love him and his staff! read more

Dr. Sima is knowledgeable, compassionate, kind, super upbeat and positive. I HIGHLY recommend him to anybody looking for a doctor who genuinely enjoys taking care of his patients as he and his staff do. He listens, cares, and he gives you all of his attention!!   You will not find a doctor with a better bed-side manner. read more

Exceptional! Outstanding! Top Notch! First Class! I can't say enough about Dr. Sima. He is not only an amazing physician and diagnostician, but he is an amazing human being. From day one, Dr. Sima literally took the time to get to know and listen to my husband's medical history. When problems arose, and I called his office, he personally took the call. He made sure my husband was seen that day. After all that, he still took the time to make a follow up call in the evening. Dr. Sima not only treats your health, he treats you with kindness and respect. He is holistic in his approach and is genuinely interested in helping his patients. Also, I'd like to mention the kindness of his staff, in particular Myra. Myra listened to my concerns with patience and understanding. read more

BEWARE!!! I went in for a free consultation--never saw this office or doctor before. After waiting over an hour--the front office is very rude and horrible--I had a consultation with the doctor on call. Dr. Sima is not there anymore. During the consultation, the doctor advised an unnecessary procedure that was sent to their lab and billed to my insurance without my permission. In fact, I had insisted that the test be thrown out and not sent to their lab. Resulting bill was outrageous, complete price gauging. Horrific experience-I have never had this happen before at any other doctor's office. read more

Dr. Sima Is the best doctor i have seen in years. I very much so highly recommend him to any of my friends and family. He really cares about every patients needs and questions. Thank you again Doctor you are amazing read more

Dr. Sima is such a wonderful, rare find of a doctor. After seeing a handful of terrible and unhelpful doctors over the past few years, I had almost completely lost faith in western medicine. I was continually having various issues and symptoms dismissed as nothing, or stress/mental related. I showed up to Dr. Sima's office, skeptical and expecting the same sort of treatment. However, he was the complete opposite. He is so attentive, warm, energetic and knowledgable. He spent a good of time with me, listening to the list of issues I'd brought to him. After a quick examination, he identified I was having bad allergies that were causing pretty much all the issues I'd been having these past few years. So simple and yet somehow my previous primary care doctor I'd seen 3x in the past year, a nurse practitioner, and an ENT specialist didn't catch. Dr. Sima spent time explaining to me what was going on, and was very thorough in his approach. As someone else mentioned below, he has great energy and I felt very at ease in his presence. It's SUCH a relief to find a competent, amazing doctor that actually knows what he's doing and with such a phenomenal bedside manner to boot. I'm incredibly thankful to have found Dr. Sima. read more

Dr. Sima is a great big ball of energy! I've never met another doctor like him. He listens, he cares and he gives you all his attention!! I knew something was wrong but for years no one could tell me what was going on. FINALLY!! I have the answers and the program to move on to a more productive life. When my health insurance changed to HMO and I learned that I couldn't go to him anymore, I did what I had to do to get back into Dr. Sima's care. No one else will do. He's just the best! And his staff is great too! They are very friendly and seem to enjoy working there (which is always a plus). read more

Dr. Sima came highly recommended after seeing another specialists I didn't like. I was very pleased and thankful to have been seen by him. His office is clean and his staff is professional and friendly. I was seen at my scheduled appointment time and didn't feel rushed through the visit. Dr. Sima took the necessary time with me to explain and showed he cared. I highly recommend Dr Sima. read more

Dr. Sima is charming, patient, kind, and helpful. You can tell he truly loves his job and helping you find a solution for whatever your issue may be.

So I know I'm not alone here :) read more

Dr. Sima is a awesome doctor, professional, knowledgeable, compassionate and funny. He's been my private doctor for many years and I can't imagine going to anyone else.

Today was my first appointment with Dr. Sima- And I feel like I just won the lottery. A bit of my history- I am the daughter of a doctor so i have been very lucky and priveleged to have always had great medical care until i moved to LA 7 yrs ago and did not know anyone in town. I relied on reviews online and for the past few years it was fine because luckily I did not get sick or need any major attention-my drs. were mediocre at best. Well, now that i finally needed some medical treatment i needed to find someone ASAP and i was referred to Dr.Sima by a collegue. He is AMAZING for the following reasons: 1.) You will feel his energy the moment he walks in the room- its a breath of fresh air. And for someone who has been beat down by horrible medical care, believe me, this is huge. 2.) He is one of the most down to earth, friendly, and compassionate doctors I probably have ever come across. Amazing bedside manner!!!! 3.) I opened up to him instanteously- I felt comfortable and honest with him. 4.) He knows his stuff- my father had researched alot of things regarding my condition with his doctor friends and everything he told me Dr SIma repeated. 5.) His staff is amazing - very friendly, very efficient, and great blood test takers !! :) 6.) You leave his office feeling secure and confident that you are in great hands. All I know is that I will sleep well tonight knowing I am going to be well cared for. read more

If I could give this wonderful Doctor-Amanuel Sima a million stars I would. He is compassionate, patient, kind and incredibly intelligent.
