I'm finally back to Dr. Ballon-Reyes and I couldn't be happier! She is kind and supportive every…read moretime I've seen her, she asks questions and what's to get to know what you need and want and how best to help you. Yes, she can seem cold at first but I think it's just the way it comes off before you get to know her. I highly recommend her. I was originally referred to her by my oncologist after he saw the mess that my OBGYN at the time caused. She stepped in and helped me heal after a very long and painful experience. I will always do my best to get insurance within her network.

WORST DOCTOR I HAVE EVER BEEN TO IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. SHE BREACHED PATIENT PRIVACY AND DID NOT OBTAIN…read moreMY CONSENT. I went to her yesterday morning after years of dealing with vaginismus. I was finally able to get myself to go after the emotional distress it has been causing me. The nurse asked me why I was there and I told her pelvic pain and can't even put a tampon inside of me. Then Ballon-Reyes (I refuse to call her a doctor) came in. She didn't even really talk to me. She just asked me if I was sexually active and I told her I have tried to do it a couple times, but we couldn't even get it in because it was way too painful. She told me she wanted to do a chlamydia test. I told her I definitely don't have chlamydia (I cant even stick a tampon in never mind a p*nis). She told me I had to do it and gave me no choice or say. Practically FORCED me. She just told me to lay down. Did not consult with me or ask me ANYTHING about my history. She tried to stick something in to swab me, but I was tensing up a lot (which was literally the main reason why I came into her office to begin with. She would have known this if she took even a second to talk to me about it). She tried for about 2 minutes or so and got up angrily and said "I'm not gonna be here all morning trying to do this. You're never gonna be able to have s*x like this". I was already crying at this point because she gave me no choice in what she is doing to me, which felt SO TRAUMATIZING and INVASIVE. She left me in the room, bawling my eyes out (she saw me crying), and then I heard her in the hallway talking to the nurses saying "I don't have all morning to waste on her. She didnt even let me put it in." This was by far the worst doctor I have ever been to.

Dr. Roy Ayalon is truly exceptional. From the very first visit, he was calm, attentive, and…read moreincredibly professional. He takes the time to really listen, never makes you feel rushed, and explains everything in a clear and reassuring way. That level of patience and communication made such a difference, especially during a time when you want to feel confident and supported in your care. What stood out most to me was his skill and bedside manner. You can tell he is very knowledgeable and experienced, but he also approaches everything with genuine compassion. I always felt heard, respected, and taken seriously, which isn't something you find everywhere. He created a comfortable and safe environment where I felt completely taken care of every step of the way. His calm demeanor helped ease any anxiety, and I always left appointments feeling reassured. I'm very grateful to have had Dr. Ayalon as my OB/GYN and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a doctor who is not only highly skilled but also kind, patient, and truly cares about his patients.

Dr. Ayalon and Dr. Manzano are truly amazing doctors. I experienced many complications and was…read morehospitalized for five weeks, and my baby boy is now in the NICU. During such a difficult and emotional time, they showed nothing but compassion, dedication, and genuine care. They always wanted what was best for both me and my baby, and I never once felt unheard or unsupported. I am beyond grateful to have had such caring and attentive doctors through this journey. If you're looking for an OB/GYN who truly cares, look no further. Thank you, Vanessa.

I had my first prenatal care and birth with Dr. Kohn, and because of the exceptional experience I…read morehad, I chose to travel almost an hour to be under his care again for my second pregnancy. Not all OBs are created equally. Dr. Kohn is a physician of the highest caliber--professional, highly competent, and deeply attentive. I was considered high-risk for multiple reasons, yet he consistently listened with care, respected my concerns and requests, and took my medical issues seriously. His approach made me feel truly supported and confident throughout my pregnancies. His office and medical staff are also wonderful.

Dr. Kohn is truly the best doctor. He came highly recommended by many friends and the hospital…read morestaff, and I now understand why. He is kind, patient, calm, optimistic, and extremely knowledgeable and experienced. From pre-pregnancy through delivery, he took care of me every step of the way and made sure I delivered a healthy baby safely. He is also incredibly responsive--whenever I called, he made sure to return my calls. Even when I was on vacation and had a scare, he called me back within minutes and calmed me down. On the day of delivery, even though I was scared and facing many challenges, he was so reassuring and created such a smooth experience. After delivery, he continued to check up on me every day, which meant so much. He was always thorough with labs, appointments, and follow-up, and his positivity gave me the strength to carry to full term. I am forever grateful to Dr. Kohn--he will always be a part of my son's story.

Is it overstating to say that this woman saved my life? Maybe ... but I feel like she did. She…read morediagnosed my condition THOROUGHLY (it is rare), got me better in days ... and back to full health in a couple weeks ... and continues to help empower me to live and thrive as my body changes. She is also WAY more personable than a typical "in and out in 15 minutes" doctor in today's modern medical system. I have great doctors at Cedars - and she eclipses them ALL ... literally BY MILES AND MILES AND MILES. No comparison!! NONE. I am a 60+ yo woman with excellent health and insurance - but I suddenly had a "downstairs" issue - and no Cedars or UCLA Gyn's were available for two months!!! In "desperation" - I came to Yelp and found Dr. Perlow. I had really not heard of the concept of "concierge" medicine ... but had to see someone immediately. I signed up for her service and as promised by her office staff - she got me in "the next day". The NEXT DAY. Going to see her is FAR more extensive and personal than the "usual" doctor. She gave me a comprehensive "head to toe" exam. Since she is a specialist in many areas beyond OBGYN - she has the experience and knowledge to be able to diagnose and treat special conditions like mine - AND she actually spent time with me to get to know my situation. She has excellent demeanor with her patients, understands a woman's body and hormones and gives each patient the time and respect that they deserve. She was wonderful about having my partner accompany me during a diagnostic procedure in her office as well. For those of you seeing her due to having babies - never fear that this is the only time you can have a doctor this good ... you can see her the rest of your life AND SHE IS SO worth every penny. My partner actually said not to post a review so we can keep her all to ourselves - as she will soon be a new Dr. Perlow patient too! The annual charge for a concierge doctor is pricey - not going to belittle that fact - but I am prioritizing her annual fee into my budget because I feel she is just THAT good and I want to be able to reach my doctor directly (if needed) at a moments notice. You can divide up the annual charge quarterly or semi-annually to make it easier to handle. I feel blessed to have found her - and thanks to her - got treated easily and early for a rare condition that could have developed into cancer. Cost of that? Priceless. And PS - the negative reviews here??? Read them closely ... they all have to do with HOW BUSY she "was" and how difficult it "was" to get in to see her BEFORE she became a concierge doctor - SINCE SHE WAS (is) SO popular!!!! There "IS" a reason why she was / is so popular that she can now charge an annual fee - because she is the BEST, most caring and personal doctor you will ever have - at any life stage you are in.

Dr. Perlow has been my wife's OB for many years and the amazing doctor who delivered our baby. We…read morehad a very complicated and stressful birth, but Dr. Perlow gave us the best care both physcially and mentally. She not only took the most amazing care of my wife, but she constantly pulled me a side to check on my mental health and helped keep me stay calm. We had a couple issues with the hospital and nurses, but Dr. Perlow made sure to get everything fixed. We literally owe our baby's life to Dr. Perlow. She will forever be our concierge doctor. SHE IS WORTH EVERY PENNY. Thank you Dr. Perlow!
