Rude. Not the friendliest doctor. I believe many people may hesitate to write a review, but my experience was far from pleasant. The appointment felt extremely rushed, leaving little room for questions or discussion. When questions were asked, the responses were delivered in a tasteless and dismissive manner, which made the experience uncomfortable as a parent. Dr. Monk came across as very condescending and lacked the warm, reassuring demeanor one would expect from a pediatric doctor. There was little empathy or effort to build rapport, and the overall interaction felt transactional rather than patient-centered. As a parent, it is important to feel heard and supported, especially when it comes to your child's care, and unfortunately, that was not the case during this visit. Due to this experience, I would not recommend her as a pediatric doctor to anyone's children. read more

Dr. Monk genuinely cares and fights for her patients. She listens, she hears, and she goes above and beyond. She's super busy but she will go the extra mile to get things done. She advocates for her patients. We are grateful and hope that our kids can be with her until they're 18. read more

Simply put, she's AMAZING! Dr. Monk has been our provider from birth of my child. She is patient, understanding and efficient! read more

The best pediatrician I've ever seen. Writing this review from NY as I've seen several since Dr. Monk and NOBODY compares. She is so knowledgable, reassuring, compassionate, and patient. read more

Dr. Monk is a lifesaver! She might be my child pediatrician but she goes above and beyond for us as well. When I couldn't get any straight answers from multiple doctors, hospitals and nights in the PICU for my son, she finally put me at ease and answered all my questions before I even had to ask reassured me resulting in my first good nights sleep in weeks! Dr. Monk is thorough and truly knows what she's doing! Now I know the reason why she came highly recommended by my all the OBs and everyone at the L&D wing of Cedars during my delivery! Thank you Dr. Monk! I'll gladly make the drive!! read more

Five stars isn't enough. Dr. Monk is the absolute best! My husband and I didn't go around interviewing a million different pediatricians when we were expecting. We ended up asking another doctor for their referral and I decided if she was good enough for another doctor's kid, she was good enough for ours (And that doctor did meet with a lot of pediatricians). I was just looking for a competent doctor and didn't really have expectations outside of that. She is so much better than any doctor we could have hoped for. She and the nursing staff are amazing. Dr. Monk is smart, kind and patient. I'm that mom who asks a million questions and brings up everything I googled (because I'm that person too). She has never made me feel rushed or brushed off my concerns. She is attentive, listens and explains everything to me so I understand even the most basic things that are going on. As far as how she is with my baby- she's amazing. She's gentle, and seems to genuinely like babies and kids. There are some doctors who just go through the motions, and she's not that doctor. She examines him, but also talks to him and holds him so he's comfortable. Dr. Monk also, always remembers us, even before I see her looking at the charts. She doesn't mom shame, and has never shown any sort of judgement about decisions I've made. She's always supportive of the decisions I've made (I should note, I don't make too many controversial choices about my baby, this mostly comes down to what I feed him, how long I wanted to nurse for, whether or not I let him cry it out, etc...). I drive from the valley to go see her, and it takes anywhere from 35-60min for me to get to her and I don't regret the time spent at all. The nurses who administer his vaccines are so gentle with him, and I don't know if it's required of them or not, but none of them have long or sharp nails where I'm worried they'll scratch him. They're super sweet to him while they're giving him vaccines too, again, they don't just go through the motions and rush us out. We are moving out of state and I legitimately considered flying with my son back to LA, just so we could come back for check ups. My husband said that was taking it too far, but we'll see.... If you're looking for a pediatrician who will take the time to explain every worry and concern, no matter how silly it might sound, and will treat you and your child with kindness and love, you want Dr. Monk. I now realize a pediatrician is seeing two patients at a time, me and my baby, and she takes such good care of both of us. read more

Kyle Monk, MD - Dr. Monk taking care of my sweet baby boy! - Pediatricians Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Dr. Monk is the best for many reasons. She's insightful, personable, compassionate... the list goes on! BUT we absolutely LOVE Dr. Monk for one main reason: she keeps it real. She tells us what we need to know and is very direct about it. She's very good with our son and we look forward to his checkups. She's also quick to respond to any messages - we always hear from her within a day. Highly recommend Dr. Monk. If you're searching for a pediatrician, look no further, you found her! read more

She has been my children doctor since the day they were born and I can't complaint! She is amazing. We don't mind the drive from OC to LA just because we know our children are well treated by her. read more

Dr. Monk is an amazing pediatrician. We only had her for a brief time because we left Los Angeles...but I wish we could move back, in large part because of her. She was available for all our first time parent, middle of the night questions. Our kid was born in the height of COVID and she put us at ease in a really difficult time. I recommend her to any new parent or anyone looking for a pediatrician in the area. She is amazing!!! read more

Dr Monk is awesome! She's very knowledgeable, but not an alarmist. She's funny, nice, and manages to hold a conversation with you while examining your child so they don't feel like they're in a Drs office! I brought my two girls to her for the first time this year, and I feel like I've found their Dr for the rest of their childhood. My youngest daughter does not talk to people easily. By the time we got through half of the visit, she opened up and was telling her the colors. Also, even though her main office is in Beverly Hills, she goes to the Playa Vista location every Thursdays. Which is great if you live on the Westside. Parking is easy at both locations. The front desk staff are friendly at both locations as well. read more

We love Dr. Monk. She has great bedside manners and is a great pediatrician. When we moved to la we had vivity hmo and she was the dr assigned to us. At first I wasn't sure if she would be good but at our first appointment my son had a fever and she fed him medicine and made sure he was comfortable. I was so surprised because I'm the past when my son had a fever the nurses would just give us a paper of how much medicine to give them when we got home. We have been to her for the past two years of check ups and all I can say is great things about her. read more

Dr. Monk is amazing! She is always current on the latest research and won't prescribe unnecessary medications. My daughter and I both love her. She is very knowledgeable and super sweet! read more

Kyle Monk, MD - Pediatricians Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Dr Monk is a fantastic doctor!! Our son Auggie has a rough birth and Dr Monk discovered that he had a depressed cranial fracture as soon as she saw him and referred us immediately to Dr Danielpour at Cedars who heads up pediatric neurosurgery. Her quick action and referral got Auggie in the right hands to get a quick surgery to repair his skull, all during the beginning of COVID. She is always responsive and is a wonderful doctor. We strongly recommend Dr Monk!! read more

I was looking for a pediatrician for when I had my baby. This lady is very sweet and patient with babies. She is very through. What a God send the only way I could thank her was by making a comment below. Don't pass her up she is really good. It's hard being a new mom and not knowing the right direction all the time but she is there for all of your questions. Thank you Dr. MONK read more

Professional Resourceful Friendly Punctual What can I say? We absolutely love Dr. Monk. She is comfortable using all of the baby apps. Dr. Monk never rushed any of our appointments and made sure that we had all of our questions answered before leaving. She helps sooth nervous new parent minds. We highly recommend her to anyone. If she measured her NPS score it would be over 9000. read more

Doctor Monk simply amazing she was there the day my daughter was born to check on her and start this great relationship, that is above and beyond. Very thankful for her love and dedication to our doctor since day one. She been always on top her health. Thanks Dr. Monk read more

Simply the BEST!!! Dr. Monk is so thorough and explains everything in a very simplistic way. She takes time with my children and really cares about their development and needs. She also takes time to ask me how I'm doing (being a new mom of two). I have a 6 year and 10 month old, and Dr. Monk is my favorite pediatrician ever!!!! read more

We just finished our visit with Dr. Monk and my son said mom she's awesome And smiled I said were you comfortable he said yes.

Dr. Monk is the best! She is personable, highly intelligent, funny and empathetic! She takes her time with us. I am thrilled my daughter has her for a pediatrician! I highly recommend her! read more

I love doctor Monk. Both of my children have been seeing her since birth (2 1/2 and 7 months). She is knowledgeable, caring, kind, and approachable. My kids never cry with her. She has a magic touch with children and we plan to stay with her as long as we live in California. read more

LOVE her! So sweet and kind. We've been to several doctors and some have a hard time remembering you and the kids from previous visits, but Dr. Monk always remembers us and even refers to conversations from our past. She is very attentive and makes everyone involved feel very comfortable. read more

We are so glad to have met Dr. Monk. She is personable, professional, and caring. The staff is easy to work with as well. Didn't have a bad experience so far. read more

I did not research pediatricians prior to having my son. I was assigned a pediatrician and gave birth on January 4th when he was out of town so in the first week of my son's life I happened to see four different pediatricians that were on rotation. It gave me the opportunity to get a sense of what I liked and what I didn't like about each one. None of which felt like a right match. In fact the actual pediatrician we were assigned was really not a match. My husband got weird vibes and my son peed on him in the first check up.... Dr. Monk ended up being a referral from one of the nurses at my request after not really feeling connected to any of the doctors I had worked with. I made the switch and it's been one of the best decisions I've made in regards to my son's care. She is attentive, knowledgeable, and has put my first time mom anxiety at ease. I have never felt rushed even when I have gone in with dozens of questions. I genuinely look forward to all of our well baby exams and not because I like going to the doctor but because she's just that great. With all that said my first interaction with her happened before our first scheduled visit with her when I ended up going in after my son slipped off the counter in the kitchen. She sprung into action to run all the tests necessary to make sure he was OK and that included getting on the phone with the insurance company to make sure everything was approved that same day and we did not have to wait to get a scan. She literally called us minutes after results came in to assure us that everything was OK. That experience made me realize that she was willing to go out of her way to make sure my son was OK and that I as a parent was at ease. Over the past nine months I reached out to her twice for non-emergency questions and she has replied back within 24 hours. These are just a few of the examples as to why I genuinely think she's amazing. read more

Kyle Monk, MD - No doubt about it Dr. Monk loves her babies! - Pediatricians Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Been our pediatrician for the last 2 years. Fantastic! I couldn't give a higher recommendation.

I like Dr Monk personally but I had a very poor experience. These rules which enable the doctor to run behind 15 minutes but do not allow the patient similar flexibility are challenging and limiting for me. I can't remember a visit with her that began on time. My 2 yo potentially sprained her ankle and because we arrived 13 minutes after the scheduled time on an unlikely rainy day with no parking in their garage, we were denied a visit. That is not good care, especially considering our situation. This was a reminder of the value of seeking independent and actual personalized care, which is often lost with large health system practitioners. They recommended I take my otherwise healthy child to the urgent care downstairs which was filled with masked and unmasked adults coughing in a tiny wait room. No read more

Dr. Kyle Monk has eased my anxiety of all the things that the motherhood (to a first time mom) journey entails. She has been such a joy to my family. My son just turned 1 and we are truly so thankful to be one of her patients. Her bedside manner is calming, nurturing and very informative. We are so happy that we found Dr. Kyle Monk through a referral, we can't thank our friends enough for recommending! She cares about our son as if he were her very own; this does not go unnoticed! The practice as a whole is great as well; from the front desk staff to the nurses, our experience has been great from point A to Z. read more

My 12 year old daughter feel very comfortable with her. Dr Monk listens and ask questions to understand her patiences. We love her.

Dr. Monk is by far the best pediatrician in Los Angeles! She is so caring, kind, passionate, and efficient. She eases new mothers' worries about their babies in a way that no one else can. She is so knowledgeable and professional. I rave about her to all of my mommy friends who tend to complain about their child's doctor. It is an absolute pleasure to have her as our doctor!! We love her so!!! read more

Dr Monk is awesome! She is a great role model for girls!! I completely trust her with my daughter's health.

Dr. Monk has been my son's pediatrician for almost 1.5 year so far. She is very knowledgeable and gives you detailed information to make sure that you understand the situation. I have found her very caring and responsible for her patients. She always gets back to us through phone to answer our queries. She loves children. My son really likes her and always goes to his appointments enthusiastically. read more

We love Dr. Monk! She has taken wonderful care of our son since he was born. She is attentive, knowledgeable, caring, and always takes the time to answer all of our (many!) questions. Her office staff is great and there is someone available 24x7 if we need help off-hours. read more

She's been my sons pediatrician since the day he was born. I couldn't ask for a more professional, friendly, well mannered doctor. My wife and I are always pleased to take our son to her. She gives us a lot of advice and recommendations. She's very detailed and organized with things. One of the best traits about her that I like is she hasn't forgotten us like some other doctors would forget their patients and we love that. I definitely recommend her if anyone is looking to have a pediatrician and looking for the best! read more
