Dr. Gator always treated us very well. And so did the rest if the great people at this special office. The office always smells so lovely and is decorated so cute. It's a kids dream :) They put nutrition first in line when it comes to children's health. So, we dig that. Dr. Gator responded very timely to any questions we had on the app. It's honestly rare to find that kind of dedication and help, especially in Los Angeles. We are moving and are super sad about having to find a different pediatrician because NO pediatrician is as special and awesome as Dr. Gator. Thanks to Maria for always being so kind to us. Hopefully we will come back!!! read more

Dr. Joel's passion for the health of our children is evident in his continuous research and drive to get to the root cause of issues our children may face. He is one of the most proactive doctors I know, always striving to be the best and bringing health practitioners together to connect and create a community of knowledgable leaders. I admire his holistic approach and am grateful to have been introduced to his Ayurvedic practitioner on ​staff who has resolved my own longstanding stomach issues. I find comfort in knowing that if anything arises with my kids, I can trust in Dr. Joel. Thanks Dr. Joel for what you do! read more

Dr. Warsh is an excellent and knowledgeable pediatrician who gets to know his patients and spends a considerable amount of time to find out the root cause(s) of his patients' health issues. He is a very compassionate doctor who uses a holistic approach in his treatments and emphasizes prevention through nutrition and lifestyle changes. As a health care professional, I have referred numerous patients who come back to tell me on how impressed they are with the level of care, knowledge and compassion. read more

Dr. Warsh is a consummate professional and has a wonderful way with kids. I'm also very impressed with his approach to medicine, and I can tell from his offices and demeanor that he takes a great deal of pride in providing his patients with a comfortable experience, top to bottom. read more

Dr Joel was so amazing with my kiddo. He was so professional and knowledgeable about western and eastern medicine. I am a western trained surgeon and I'm a believer! I have known dr Joel for a long time and would be very confident in his skills. Easy to get ahold of, they always answer the phone right away. The front desk staff is exceptional. He is connected with many of the top practitioners in the city. He is very savvy with social media and helps not only his patients, but also many others around the world. Everyone needs to check out this office if they are looking for the concierge experience!! read more

Dr. Joel is amazing! Personal attention always and he has gone above and beyond! He combed through my son's medical records and emailed personally with questions and suggestions. RX refills are just an email away and get filled in just around an hour. We've never had better! read more

In the provider's own words, this is not the right practice for every patient. Although we experienced multiple issues with this practice, including many of those mentioned in other reviews, the marked disregard that BIPOC members of our family received here is the primary reason we will not return. read more

***** UPDATE: Dr. Warsh claims I treated his staff inappropriately... nothing I said in my review was untrue , I tried to to be as honest and even handed as possible... I have never mistreated anyone in his practice... multiple staff members? He doesn't even have that many staff members or providers? He is lying to make what he did sound less offensive-- to try and make it sound like i deserved to be kicked out if his practice and it's just simply not true. Maria and I have a good relationship and dr. Kalstein is still my dr...My son has dozens of drs and therapists, I would not get anything in this world accomplished for him if I was not kind to his providers and staff. I As for prescribing things he felt uncomfortable with, that's fine ... but i asked for betaine - which is actually an over the counter supplement! I just wanted it compounded at a lower safer dose. I also told him that I wouldn't ask for anymore RX since he wasnt comfortable... but I still just wanted someone nearby for regular pediatrician stuff. The fact that he is trying to make the mishandling of this case sound like MY fault with false accusations of mistreating staff speaks volumes to his integrity. He is right about one thing-- he is not the right dr for my family. ORIGINAL POST: Really disappointed in what I hoped would be a great dr for my son who has a rare genetic condition. We had a wonderful integrative dr, Pejman katerai Im Santa Monica. However the drive was becoming cumbersome so I was thrilled to see this office open up down the street from me last year. I called and explained my sons case/-it's complicated--so it needs someone who can really handle it--Dr. Warsh assured me he could and happily took my son as a patient. One thing I explicitly told him in that initial phone call was that my son has severe GI issues and I need a ped who really gets that... I didn't want to just be referred to another western med GI doc... at that point I had been to five and was battle weary. He told me he understood and was ready to help. As the year went on it became apparent that my sons case was indeed too complicated for him -- and that's ok - I'm not sure we will ever find a dr who can truly help us ... but I was just happy to have someone nearby who could follow his growth, do ear and strep checks and fill the ocasional rx without me having to drive to Santa Monica. I recently asked him to refill a medication dr. Katerai had prescribed to us and my son had been on for many years. His response? I'll refill it once, and I think you need to find another pediatrician. He kept telling me what he would do if it were his child, implying that I wasn't doing the best for my son by not being at CHLA. Gimme a break we were at CHLA FOR YEARS owhen my son was little -- not one dr there ever helped him in the way the others I have pounded the pavement to find have. He has no idea what it's like to have a child with so many complications...how dare he presume to know what's best? . I told him I wouldn't ask him for any more rx but that I would still like to be his patient as I need a pediatrician close by. With all my sons other appts and therapies, it's nice to have someone nearby to do regular ped stuff. He essentially said no and told me to leave his practice. Super disappointed to add him to the long list of drs that have failed my son. He said what he needed to get a new client when his practice was brand new... but now that he's busier I guess he didn't want to deal with us. Beyond his manner in this scenario the only tangible thing he ever did to help us was refer us to the naturopath he shares his office with. She's very good kind and helpful... far more holistic and integrative minded than he is. ***** read more

Dr. Warsh is the most caring and enthusiastic pediatrician I have ever met. I would recommend him 1000% to anyone seeking exceptional primary care for their most important loved ones. He always goes above and beyond to ensure holistic care. Always a great experience, please see Dr. Warsh first if you're looking for a pediatrician! read more

I was hesitant to write this review, however I felt imply to do so. first of all if you're going to visit this doctor and they have you Docusign please read carefully before you sign they're really aggressive (in charges and fees!! )I had to get this done, a physical for my son he has a wonderful group of Pediatricians in Sherman Oaks but due to the fact that they doing a fundraiser for my son's school at Notre Dame High School and contributing to our athletic department they were very busy so I was late to file my son's physical exam so I decided to give this Doctor warsh a try since some parents in our community said he was taking appointments well it took me 2 weeks trying to get ahold of this doctor call him more than 3 times and never get a call back I've also left a couple of messages.I chose to do it one more time and the doctor picked up the phone in a very casual manner like "hello?" I thought I got the wrong number then I explained the doctor that I was trying to make appointment for over sometime and nobody picks up the phone he said not sure WHY ."you can come in" and he took my appointment felt odd but I was happy that I was able to get my son appointment . 2 hours before my son's appointment I get bombarded by these emails highlighted in Orange and neon yellow colors having me sign a bunch of documents which I am not sure if I'm doing the right thing by giving them my signature and lot of personal questions so I stopped doing that. My son came home from school we walked there , nice building and when we walked into their reception desk we were like nobody came into the door that from desk lady Maria looked at us whilst on the phone completely ignores us ,she you didn't even greeted us and continue on the phone ,we where there for a while,the only people there . I'm standing in front of her she's on the phone talking staring at me and I asked her ., it's at me you talk to? because I was completely ignored with her attitude she didn't even apologize for being in the phone. Long and the doctor came and ask us to come over to start rushing my son give me a paper and it said I didn't sign all the documents because I wasn't sure what I signing t and I need Some explanation doctor said let's go get started with your son, you sign later .it was the most unprofessional experiencing in my life with the doctor my son was there for not even 15 minutes and then the exam was done my son a was also very rushed . He Usher us to the front desk to Maria to have me sign this papers and I said well I need to know what the fees are For this"membership"( concierge administrative $300 fees ) let me explain said doctor because photo copies and paperwork" all doctors are doing it now". something really fishy to me then I go to the front and Maria is demanding that I leave a credit card on file she wants me to give her my credit card and get a copy and put it in file in case something doesn't cover by my insurance i said I am sorry but I not comfortable with that immediately Tri gave me an attitude walked away like a5 year old to complain to the doctor very unprofessional with an attitude saying she's the front desk manager but she's the only person the doctor has in his Clinic apparently doctor aide nurse / front desk manager receptionist that he stole from children's hospital he said! Like a Cheesy line from convincing car salesman ! I told the doctor once again I was not going to give him my credit card if he needed it for the future well I will not be there in the future and I am sure my insurance will cover 100% for my son's physical examination so that he didn't have to worry about additional payments that insurance will not cover. Obviously the doctor said well maybe this is not clinic for your son you don't have to leave the card on file at said yes it's not I will not come back. everything was really odd another family came in and now the doctor completely ignored me to introduce her to the receptionist and said let me give you a tour of my premises then he left here and her children in one of the rooms came back and told me maybe this place is not for you if you're not comfortable leaving your credit card as it is not now for sure we will never go back. read more

Dr. Joel was my sons favorite pediatrician! His calm, gentle way made my apprehensive sons feel comfortable and actually look forward to seeing him! His vast medical knowledge and his alternative medical suggestions made him the greatest doctor we've seen! He was so patient and reassuring on the phone, always calming an anxious mom! read more

I highly recommend Dr Joel! He's so patient and answers all my questions in detail. I'm a first time parent and have had many questions and every time Joel has been more than happy to help. He never tries to push medicine at me which I like and even recommends natural remedies first. He really knows his stuff and explains everything to you. read more

I'm a holistic health coach and doTERRA Essential Oils Advocate and many of my clients are proud parents who often ask me for referrals for like-minded pediatricians. I love referring them to Dr. Warsh because you can rest assured you and your family are in the most expert caring hands at his office from the moment you place your first phone call. Upon meeting him you will see he is kind-hearted and open-minded about how you can integrate an allopathic approach with natural remedies (depending on your personal family's preference) so you feel your perspective is heard and respected. He can support you with the highest quality natural health care products, including doTERRA for safe and effective optimum results. Most parents prefer not to have to do tons of research so they you can leave the office with what they need and have more time to spend doing what's really important w/ their family. Your children will receive the best care and also experience the best health of their lives with him at your side. What could be better!? read more

I've heard about Dr. Warsh through a colleague of mine. I had brought my wife for a consultation and the Dr was very knowledgeable and professional. Making an appointment was easy and efficient. Especially Maria who was very helpful and she was very thorough with all the information that was provided to me. I was so impressed with everything that I will switch my primary doctor to Dr. Warsh and I recommend him to anyone who needs a Dr. read more

Was referred by my prenatal chiropractor as well as my midwife! Been with him for 2 weeks now with our newborn. Him and his team have been amazing, they are very responsive and polite. He is always available for questions. Also has a very nice facility! read more

Our family found an amazing pediatrician two weeks ago in Studio City. My 11 year old son had trepidation at first about meeting a new doctor who was going to examine him. Dr. Warsh and his helpful nurse Maria met us at the door and ushered us into their delightful, colorful office. Dr. Warsh made certain that his young patient felt fully at ease before bringing him into the exam room. Afterwards my 11 year old exclaimed enthusiastically, "Doctor Warsh is the best pediatrician ever! " read more

Dr. Joel Warsh is a wonderful professional with a unique take on medicine that is refreshing to see in today's world view on healing and wellness. The encounters I have had with him have been nothing but fruitful to see his take on wellness and what he is bringing the community of medicine. Excited to see where his practice goes! read more

My daughter got sick for the first time and had a high fever of 103 to 104.4 during the course of 14 hours on Christmas Day. Dr Warsh's office was closed but I was communicating with him through the OhMD app. Long story short- he had recommended Tylenol & a bath during the time that she was sick. I was also told that it is not concerning unless above 105 or consistently above 103 (which she had been consistently above 103) & if I was worried or if she had other symptoms to take her to a pediatrician who was open that day. Once I arrived to the other ped office they immediately gave her ibuprofen. Over the course of the next few hours her fever started declining and she was feeling great that next morning. The following week was her 1 year checkup with Dr. Warsh. I wanted to discuss the fever situation. It was the first time my daughter got sick and I wanted to know all my options for the future. I asked why he never recommended ibuprofen. It could have brought her fever down sooner if I would have known to give it to her. Anyways- later that day he contacted me and said that It is very important for there to be a great trust and strong bond between family's and their doctors and told me he no longer wanted to see my daughter. I then apologized (which I didn't do anything wrong. Just asked questions) I said I didn't want to make him feel like I was questioning his judgment and that I trusted him and would like to continue having my daughter go to his practice. He then contacted me back and said his decision was final. Where's the compassion?!! I was so easily written off. Typical LA. read more

Dr. Warsh is an incredibly patient, compassionate and methodical pediatrician. I recommend him to everyone I know. We moved our son's care over to him, because we hoped to get away from the bureaucracy of a big institutional pediatrics approach and to have our son be healthy and happy through all the means available. Those goals are met by Dr. Warsh in his beautiful private office and through his approach to care, that blends both traditionally western and traditionally alternative therapies to provide the best possible results. I hope that more parents and their children discover this practice for themselves! read more

Our neighbor recommended us to Dr Warsh and we finally made an appointment for our girl, who has food allergies and gastrointestinal issues. Our first appointment was not disappointed. Dr. Warsh is super friendly and open to answer all of our questions and concerns. Our girl is very shy, but somehow he got her to talk, which never happened on first tried! His expertise, is beyond our expectations! Our daughter was re- tested for all common food allergies and Dr. Warsh re- evaluated and eliminated food that causes her to be sick. Its great to know that Dr. Warsh was able to help our girl feel better and healthier with proper treatment. We bought lots of natural supplements and preventative care herbal from Dr. Warsh's office. My wife loved it, because she does not have to search on internet to purchase any natural supplements from other companies. We highly, highly recommend Dr. Warsh. He also has a team in the office that specializes with other areas like a ND, as well as a Dietitian, lactation, Psychologist,etc. If we can rate a 10 star, we definitely would. read more
