Exceptional... Dr. Bernard David Geller, The Very Best, and Kindest Doctor, one could ever ask for!! You are Missed and So Appreciated!! read more

Friendly doctor and nurses/medical assistants. Dr. Gellar made me feel understood. He was absent one of my appointments and the staff didn't offer to reschedule the appointment, so I had another doctor and medical assistant administer my skin test. The other doctor and medical assistant duo applied more pressure to my back when administering the skin tests, so my welts and hives were more significant than others. I was legitimately severely allergic to everything according to that day's test (food). I've had a normal diet and have never reacted to eating or touching food before. They're pretty safe w covid protocols. My gripe is that you need to make a separate appointment for your allergy test results. Over a month of visiting, I spent more than $500 after insurance for the consultation, 3 allergy skin tests, and a review of my results. If insurance didn't pay anything, it was about $250 for consultation, then $800 for the three allergy tests, then another $150 for the test results telehealth appointment. I was about to attend my follow up appointment three weeks after my last skin test, but didn't want to be charged again. At other offices I've been to, you get your results same appointment. Another annoying thing is with my dermatographia, I didn't really learn any information since the skin pricks from the allergy tests showed that I'm allergic to everything. Wondering if a blood test would've been more conclusive. read more

Bernard David Geller, MD, PhD - Allergists Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Truly an outstanding doctor: exceptionally knowledgeable and caring and attuned the individual. He is very generous with his time and actually listens to patient concerns. Office and staff are warm and supportive also, and very well organized. read more

Couldn't be happier with Dr. Geller ( no relation btw) Extremely thorough, very kind and super knowledgeable. The doctors staff is equally amazing and always going above and beyond to accommodate and ensure the visit is a great experience. I see the doc for exercise induced asthma and mild allergies. Needless to say under his expert care I continue to push the limits of my running and triathlon sports. I know my long term healthcare and goals are are his top priorities! Thank you Dr. Geller ! read more

Dr. Geller is the best. I have had allergies my entire life, and he successfully manages them. He is one of the nicest people out there, and I can't recommend him highly enough. He feels like family. The people in his office are very nice, and parking is easy in the underground parking area. read more

I'd like to start with I've never written a review on any of my doctor's before, and this is not for Dr. Geller specifically, rather some (not all) of his staff. I hope they take this into consideration to speak to them and help train them on situation such as these to give their patients better service. For the first 3 years up until today, he'd get 4 stars from me, but hopefully this sinks in as it was quite disappointing. Dr. Geller is great, and I've been going to him for 3 plus years now. He himself is someone I would and want to continue to see, however, his staff (and not all the staff can be blamed, I will pin point two nurses for allergies shots and one back up office manager) are not so great. After being a patient for three years, I unfortunately experienced today some of the worse customer service I have received in quite a awhile, and what is more frustrating is it is one of my doctor's, and it will set me back on my allergy shot routine due to their lack of service. Two weeks ago I filled out a form to have my allergy shot serums sent to another doctor (purely to get my shots at more local location, not to leave Dr. Geller as my primary allergist). On the paper - it clearly states it could take up to two weeks - well it has been. When I filled out the form originally, I was told it would be at the other office early the next week (that should have been last week), then I checked in last week as a I am due for a shot, and it was not shipped yet. I was then told it would be early the week after that (meaning yesterday), but when I called today to check in, it still hadn't been shipped. Calling Dr. Geller's office I was informed "it could take up to two weeks," which I said, "I understand, I read that, it has been two weeks, and your team told me otherwise for the past two weeks." They then explained how busy it has been during the holidays, which I simply replied with "Understand, had this been what you told me two weeks ago or even last week, I would not be upset, but you continued to tell me it was on it's way to be shipped to another office." I was then told, it should be there by early next week, I am now so behind in my shots they will have to take me back a dose, so I'm upset. They also said, they would over night it so I could go in tomorrow "but I would have to foot the bill." Not a great choice of words, but rather rude actually. The end result is they would not ship them over night and take on that cost even though they made this mistake of misinforming me two weeks in a row, and instead said "all I can say is sorry," but at this point, they won't even own up to the fact of how rude their team was (one was raising her voice to me defensively and arguing when I was staying calm and expressing why I was frustrated - better to explain that just get "mad") and how at the end of the day, it was their fault to give me continuous incorrect information and great customer service (you would think for a patient at a doctor's office) would have tried to make something happen so I would not only be happy, but so my continue regiment would not be altered and I would not be missing a shot. I would say this is not only a bummer from a doctor I've gone to for three years, but sad the situation was handled so badly. It didn't feel like they cared for one moment my situation or that I was a patient of that office. It will sadly made me see (if any) other options for offices are out there for a more permanent solution. read more

My family has been going to Geller's office for years! He is a very warm, efficient and brilliant Doctor, who has changed my life since telling me the million things I'm allergic to (thanks Mom and Dad)! Now that I know what foods to stay away from, I have more energy. Also, when I was living in Orange County, Geller recommended me a doctor whose standard of care was as high as Geller's. This was nice because Geller and the OC doctor worked together to make sure that I was being treated perfectly to help reduce my allergies. Now that I'm getting tested again (allergies change, ugh), I am excited to see how my energy level changes again. Let the fun begin! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Geller for over thirty years and have always found him and his staff to be knowledgeable, thorough, and kind. It feels like I'm around family whenever I get my allergy shots or have a medical appointment. Shirley B. read more

Horrible office!!! The doctors office manager is motivated by money with no real compassion or care for individuals with medical issues. After collecting over $1100 from insurance and copay, they threatened the patient with sending an $80 balance to collection. Again, HORRIBLE OFFICE!! read more

Overall, I'm quite impressed with my experience at Dr. Geller's office. I originally made an appointment because I was considering immunotherapy. From my very first appointment, the thing I liked most about Dr. Geller is that I felt he was in no rush to get me out the door. In plenty of other experiences with doctors, I've felt like they are rushing me, eager to get to their next patient, annoyed with my questions. But Dr. Geller listened intently to what I had to say, asked me very thorough questions to get an idea of my allergies, and very patiently answered my own questions. (In fact, I once apologized for interrupting him with a question, and he replied, "Not at all; this is YOUR time.") I ended up getting two separate scratch tests to get an understanding of the breadth of my allergies. The first test, I experienced an unusually high reaction, and Dr. Geller immediately took the results and had the nurse apply cream and ice to help with the reactivity. He was incredibly sympathetic to the fact that I was very clearly uncomfortable. Speaking of his nurses, during my second test, I was feeling nervous about the intradermals that needed to be done. But the nurse took the time to assuage my discomfort, citing her own experiences with receiving intradermal testing, and asked multiple times during the test if I was feeling okay or in pain. I felt like she genuinely tried to make me more comfortable. In the end, I'm really glad I went because I learned about a host of allergies I wasn't even aware of! My ONLY concern with the office was that I submitted a form containing my credit card information for them to charge me the portion of services for which I was responsible, but on two separate occasions I was told they had no card on file for me but would check on it. I thought that was a little strange (where did my form go???), but frankly, payment got figured out in the end, so I didn't think this was worth giving 4 stars instead of 5. Dr. Geller and his staff are kind and genuinely seem to care. I'd definitely recommend this office to others - give them a try! read more

Where do I begin? From the moment I called to schedule an appointment, to the minute I walked in, to the amazing medical assistant weighing me and doing the intake, to the amazing incredible Dr. Geller sitting with me going over my symptoms and concerns, to the amazing medical assistant coming back in to administer a few breathing tests, to the incredible team members there that assisted with the allergy testing, to the amazing incredible Dr. Geller spending a lot of time explaining the "why" behind what is happening in my body...WOW! In today's social media age, we know a little bit about a medical practice before going. We are putting trust in professionals. You can 100% absolutely trust Dr. Geller and his team! When making decisions on care, quality, consistency, expertise, follow through, follow up and the way one feels treated in a medical practice ...all should be important. With Dr. Geller and his team, they not only meet expectations, they exceed expectations. I stand by this review so much, if you have any questions about this practice, please reach out and I can share even more details in regards to "why" Dr. Geller and his team should be where you go. read more

Dr Gellar is an outstanding, warm, smart physician! Thank you for taking care of my daughter Kailani and me!

I went to Dr Geller with a number of problems that doctors had never solved over the past 30 years that I didn't think were related.. I had spent thousands of dollars on tests for food allergies and never got any relief. Dr Geller spoke with me for 5 minutes and said here is what I think is wrong with you and how they were related. We conducted a two day series of skin tests that confirmed his original diagnosis. He was exactly right and I haven't had any problems for years afterword. He also taught me how to see the subtle signs of problem foods. Best money I ever spent!!! What a great doctor!!! read more

Best, most compassionate, kind and highly skilled doctor out there. Cannot recommend more highly. Has been so spectacular for our son who suffers tremendously from allergies. Changed his life, but beyond that, is just the loveliest human. Very grateful to him and the office for their great care! read more

I developed allergies in my early thirties. But I thought I was just getting sick a lot. Well I went to Dr. Gellar and he was awesome. His staff were really nice and they came in like Star Fleet officers with their iPads. I have a ton of tattoos on my back so they ran out of room for the scratch tests. But when I got the results and found out I had a lot of allergies it explained everything. Like my whole life made sense. I was at first overwhelmed but Gellar explained that everyone has an allergy and he told me how I can still eat the foods I like and not die. I loved his attitude and attention to detail and the time he took with me. He's just an all around great doctor and I recommend him to everyone! read more

I've been subject to plenty of allergy testing and seen my fair share of allergists in the past few years. Dr. Geller is one of the really great ones. He has extensive knowledge and experience (he's been practicing medicine longer than I've been alive!). Plus he really cares about his patients, is very approachable, and takes the time to listen. His staff is equally great- they're friendly, helpful, and efficient. The nurses are very responsive and experienced. Getting allergy shots in the office is a breeze as no appointment or specified day is required, the wait (if there is one) is very short, and there are lots of magazines to flip through in the waiting room. If your allergies are taking over you life, go see Dr. Geller. He just may change your life. read more

I've been seeing Dr Geller and Dr Ho for years now and have recommended many friends to their practice. Both doctors are INCREDIBLE. Part of why I like this practice is because they really take the time to listen and understand what is going on. Dr Geller and Dr Ho are also incredibly knowledgeable. One time I went to an ENT with what I believed was a sinus infection and what the ENT misdiagnosed as a sinus infection. When I finally had the sense to see Dr Geller - he recognized immediately it was in fact allergies. They also saved me when my allergies came back out of the blue after moving out to LA with testing and then shots. Both of the doctors truly care about their patients. If that wasn't enough, the front office staff is just as amazing. They have helped me with countless insurance issues. They are just as knowledgeable and always happy to help! I highly recommend seeing Dr Geller or Dr Ho if you struggle with allergies or asthma. This is some of the best care you can possibly get and I'm so grateful I found them. read more

Dr. Geller is the best doctor ever. Both myself and my children all suffer from allergies and he has diagnosed and treated all our symptons with a gentle, kind, and efficient manner. His staff is top rate and makes billing and insurance easy and his nurses are comforting and caring. He has always gone above and beyond to be there for us. I cannot recommend Dr. Geller highly enough! read more

Dr. Geller turned me from a cat-fearing runny-nosed malcontent into a cat-loving allergy-free dude who's married to a girl and via said marriage became stepfather to a cat that sleeps near or often flush up against my face every night. Fantastic office, friendly folks, problem solved. read more

My family and I have been going to Dr. Gellar for years. He has been very helpful with the allergies and is always willing to listen. Dr. Rafi,his partner, is also very good. They have helped many of my family members over the years I would give it five stars but sometimes it's very hard to get an appointment. The staff is very good with submitting the insurance bills so all I have to worry about is our health. read more

Since I have year round allergies, I decided to finally start getting allergy injections a couple years ago to lower the effects. When I moved to LA I needed to find a new allergist and Dr. Geller was highly recommended to me. He's a great doctor and very kind and friendly. He recommended allergy medication and daily sinus flushes which have helped immensely which is on top of my allergy injections. The office staff and nurses are all very friendly as well and are always there to help. The nurses are great, even if they have to poke me with needles every 2 weeks. :) Also, the office is clean and free allergies which is a plus! read more

Dr. Geller is a knowledgeable and personable doctor that really does seem to care about his patients. His office staff is professional and efficient. I never have to wait more than 5 minutes from arriving to when I receive my shots. I would definitely recommend this office. read more

Dr. Geller is the best allergist that I have come across. He is very sensitive and sensible in treating allergy problems. His office staff is outstanding. read more

Dr. Geller has been treating my allergies since I was a kid. He is the most knowledgeable physician I have ever had. I went in for allergy treatment and he and his staff helped me resolve my symptoms right away. I have come to rely on him for more than just allergies. I'm not sure if he knows this but he is my primary care doctor. Whenever I have any illness, I call his office first. I trust him and his team to treat anything that comes up for me and if something is out of his scope of practice (broken bones, etc) he refers me to the top specialists in Santa Monica. I think he's been practicing in Santa Monica for about 30 years and he knows just about everyone. He is by far the best doctor I have ever seen! read more

I am not surprised by the 2 star review of this doctor. Dr. Geller was pompous, arrogant and uncaring with me. Most of his advice came straight off a handout that addressed certain allergies in a very general fashion and his personal advice ranged from OK to downright ridiculous. His partner, on the other hand, Dr. Raffi Tachdjian, is outstanding. The office staff, with one exception is very kind and helpful. Nurse Lynn is excellent as is Dr. Tachdjian's assistant, Andrew. read more

I like Dr. Geller. He has helped me with my allergies. He is good and very kind. He is a wonderful and caring doctor. He and his staff makes getting shots twice weekly very easy and painless for me. read more

Going to Dr. Geller was life changing. I have been to a variety of allergists through out the years but even with allergy shots I was still getting bad sinus infections four or five times a year. I would end up having to take antibiotics and steroids several times a year. Dr. Geller changed all that. He discovered not only did I have environmental allergies but I also had food allergies which no one ever tested me before previously. Armed with this new information, avoiding foods I am allergic to and his serum for shots (environmental allergies) I have felt much better than I have in the past. I have not had serious sinus infections nor have I been on an antibiotic or steroids since I have been to see Dr. Geller (over four years.) The added bonus that in the same practice is Dr. Tachdjian who does trigger point injections. The trigger point injections have helped me tremendously when my allergies are really bad due environmental allergies flaring up certain times of the year. What a difference trigger point injections have made in relieving my allergy symptoms when they flare up. This includes sinus headaches, sinus pressure and congestion. The staff is also nice and easy to work with at this office which is hard to find in medical offices in general. Thank goodness for the referral four years ago to both Dr. Geller and Dr. Tachdjian because they both have contributed to changing my quality of life. read more

Dr. Geller is the real deal. if you want a smart, up to date, caring doctor, he is the one.

If you're looking for an allergist, don't waste your time any where else. Dr. Geller and his staff is amazing to say the least! I cannot believe the treatment they have given to my daughter and I. We drive from Laguna beach all the way up here to Santa Monica. Sometimes we are late due to traffic and they offer to stay later to accommodate us. One of the nurses, Liz is the most friendly, personable, amazing down to earth person's I've actually ever met. The whole staff is but Liz stands out and dr. Geller is one of the most gracious person's I've ever met as well. Pleasure and privilege to be not only a patient but now friend of his amazing drs office. Wow! Thanks dr. Geller. Getting the word out. read more

Dr. Geller is one of my favorite people on the planet. I have been seeing him since the mid nineties when he literally saved my life when I developed adult asthma and allergies. He is incredibly kind, patient, funny and a brilliant doctor to boot. He very sweetly endured me complaining the entire time I had my first set of allergy shots which almost 100% cured my allergies and lasted well over seventeen years. I just finished my second round of allergy shots and again no more endless sneezing, congestion, red eyes and congestion. Allergy Shots Work! His staff are friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. If Dr. Geller retires I will be showing up at his front door for treatment, I would never want to see anyone else. read more

I really like Dr. Geller and find his staff to be wonderful. You don't have to make an appointment for routine allergy shots and there is barely any waiting time. I am usually in and out within 15 - 20 minutes - I know this to be true because the parking garage charges $2 if you leave within 15 minutes, and I rarely have to pay for going over 15 minutes. This makes the commitment to get allergy shots easier, because it is quite a commitment. The bottom line - I barely suffered any allergy symptoms this past Spring and Fall is here and I barely know it is hay fever season. This is huge for me given that I love the great outdoors and gardening. read more

Every time I go it is always a pleasant experience. I'm always greeted kindly by Shanna and the front desk staff. I never have to wait long, which is great! It is relieving when I go because the doctor just takes one look and knows what is wrong. He diagnosed me with shingles before I even knew what shingles was. I would recommend anyone to go here. read more

I can't say enough nice things about Dr. Geller. He is incredibly knowledgeable, kind and caring. The office was amazing at getting me squeezed in. I've seen Dr. Geller and I'm so limitations and have consistently had a great experience at the office. Even though he squeeze me in I only waited a few minutes to see him. I would have no reservation in referring family and friends to Dr. Geller read more

He's not only a good doctor, but very personable. I suffer from allergies, but Dr. Geller seems to have found the right cure for me including the shots - which changed my life. He's also very well informed and up to date on all the latest over the counter and prescription nasal/allergy pills and/or sprays. He never gives up on you and he always has good logical advice. read more

I love Dr. Geller and most of his staff. the receptionist is very nice and has always gone beyond to find me the appointment time to my convenience preference .I have been seeing Dr. Geller for over 14 years and I can't thank him enough , his great knowledge , his wonderful and kind attitude and very well equipped office . Dr. Raffi is also very nice , I love Dr. Geller Knowledge and experience . I feel at home when I am at his office with his present and he has helped me managing my Asthma and extreme Allergy for many years, very caring man, with a great deal of Medicine knowledge. I have used other allergy specialist before I be referred to him, and no one has been so helpful as Dr. Geller for my health .at his office the staff take care of all insurance paper works, find the most convenience lab which be accepted by my insurance plan, I have never been bothered even for a phone call to any other providers since they take care of everything for me and I am sure for their other patients is the same. there was times years ago , financially I was not very comfortable and Dr. Geller was providing me with lots of free samples so I don't have to buy the medicine ( without making me feel embarressed). Thank you all for your exceptional service . read more

Dr. Gellar has a gift. He is possibly the nicest man ever and he knows how to make you feel better! He knows allergies and he can help get them under control. I always feel a lift after a visit. The entire staff is kind and helpful. Allergy shots have changed my life and I am grateful. read more

Dr. Bernie Geller is smart, considerate, caring and has the ability to really listen to his patients. Everyone I know who I have referred to Dr. Geller feels the same as we do. His reputation is stellar in the medical community and it is for good reason. The office staff is incredibly welcoming and understanding. I highly recommend Dr. Geller to anyone in need of a top-notch allergist. read more

Dr. Geller is one of those doctors that sits down, takes the time and really listens to you and your needs. He is patient and incredibly knowledgable. We have been seeing him for 9 years with my son. He no longer has huge red swollen bags under his eyes, sleeps well and doesn't cough all the time. Dr. Geller is a life saver. I can't imagine ever going to anyone else. read more

Such a nice and caring allergist. I highly recommend for patients of all ages. Office staff is friendly and the nurses are great.

Dr. Geller has been my allergist for more than 30 years. More than that, he has provided me with care that goes far beyond the bounds of what one would normally expect of an allergist. In fact, he has performed the role of multi-dimensional medical expert who treated not only my allergies, but also helped me in a much broader range of medical areas. I consider him my primary care physician, although I have another doctor (whom Dr. Geller recommended, I might add) who plays that "official" role. I feel very fortunate to have been Dr. Geller's patient for all these years, and I would not hesitate to hop on an airplane and fly to LA to see him if I needed a doctor with his multi-specialty set of skills. read more
