Not to be dramatic but Dr Labrant saved mine and my baby's life. I developed a blood clot during what was otherwise a very normal and uncomplicated pregnancy. Unrelated I also ended up in an emergency c section. During both of those things, Dr Labrant was calm, thorough and knew exactly what to do. I owe her our lives. Outside of that she has amazing bedside manner and was so calming and reassuring for an anxious first time mom. She always listens and makes you feel like you are her only patient and only priority. Would recommend her to anyone. Might get pregnant again asap just for an excuse to come see her weekly again read more

Dr. Labrant is an absolute gem! I needed to find a new OB after getting pregnant and a friend who had recently moved cross country said, "I would fly back for every single appointment and the birth just to have Dr. Labrant!" I was sold. I had a high risk pregnancy with IVF and my age and Dr Labrant was cautious, kind, funny and thorough throughout. She encouraged and coached throughout pushing and brought my beautiful boy in safely. Can't recommend Dr. Labrant enough!! read more

I have been a longtime patient of Dr. Labrant and cannot say enough good things about her! I work with a lot of women and always send my clients her way. She's very knowledgeable, smart and thoughtful. She is a great bedside manner and I love her energy. read more

I'm pleased to write that Dr. La Brant is a wonderful, patient and caring physician and I highly recommend her. She was thorough, informative, approachable (and funny). Wonderful experience. The office staff was polite and also kind. The only thing I'll mention, as a small deterrent however, is that contacting her Receptionist, Angelina, is challenging. She doesn't seem to answer the phone and there can be a bit of confusion regarding appointments when she does. Other than that, I was very happy with my experience. read more

Doctor Lia LaBrant saved my life and my baby's life. How's that for an intro? Lia is the absolute best OBGYN on planet earth. I'm 100% sure of it. I had a life threatening complication of pregnancy that required an emergency C-section and delivering my daughter 7 weeks early, and I'm so incredibly thankful I chose Lia as my doctor. She saved us both. She was as cool as a cucumber in a very bad situation. She is a rockstar. She is not only a super awesome human being, she is also an exceptional surgeon. I was walking the day after my surgery. Her work is impeccable. Her instincts are on point. She is so easy to talk to and will never make you feel bad about any ideas you might have. She listens. She cares. It shows. If you're looking for an OBGYN, look no further than dr LaBrant. You won't find better. Thank you for everything Lia. We will never be able to thank you enough. read more

Unfortunately, my experience is similar to another reviewer who mentioned how cold and impersonal Dr Labrant is when things go wrong in your pregnancy. First of all, on a regular basis her communication is poor because she speaks really quickly and uses a lot of medical jargon that makes it hard to understand. I have multiple graduate degrees and I had to ask a lot of clarifying questions. When I asked questions she was a bit condescending. Nevertheless I ignored my gut instincts and stayed with her through my pregnancy because I thought she was well trained and would be a good doctor. Sadly, almost halfway through my pregnancy I got a genetic diagnosis for the fetus. Dr Labrant called me one afternoon while I was out in public (didn't ask if I was in a quiet place where I could talk) and told me about the diagnosis in one sentence. I had never heard of this condition so I asked her to repeat what it was called and when I asked her to tell me what it meant she said the genetic counselor would tell me about it, then basically ended the conversation abruptly. That was the last I heard from her. She didn't call me for at least 6 weeks (left me a very short voicemail). I can't emphasize enough how cold she was when giving me the most devastating news of my life. It was one of the worst things I've ever gone through made only worse by how cold and insensitive she was. The experience was so traumatic it's taken me almost 2 years to write this review. read more

Historically I've had a great experience with Dr.Labrant but as of recent her staff has made it extremely unpleasant. I recently moved out of state yet still see my doctors in LA since I travel there frequently. For the past 6 weeks I have called over 30 times with little to NO communication from her assistant Angelina (SP?) to schedule while I'm in town or requesting my medical records to be faxed over to my new local doctor. She never returns calls, never answers the phone and if she responds via email it's literally with 2-3 words and no clarity. When you send a follow up ema requesting more clarity - she simply ignores it. It's a shame that a patient has to have the additional stress of an unprofessional staff , especially when our medical system is already stressful. The first line of communication is with the staff and this has been an absolute horrible horrible horrible experience. Therefore a reflection. Of Dr.Labrant. I simply want my records and to never visit this office ever again as long as the staff is not properly trained. read more

They canceled my appointment when I was already parking at the building - 5 min prior my scheduled time . I was waiting for this appointment for 2 months and the office offered to reschedule in another 2 months - unbelievable!!! I will never come to This office and obviously will Not recommended to anyone -terrible read more

the most impersonal doctor you will ever have. unreachable and will answer your messages weeks later, if at all. find another doctor if you want someone who cares read more

I love Dr. Lia Labrant. She makes me feel comfortable in her office and is always open to answering any questions I have. Everyone else working under her in her office are also really nice! If you're looking to establish an OBGYN, you won't go wrong with her. read more

Dr. LaBrant is the best OB hands down. She has a holistic approach, is caring, personable and very patient. She's amazing!

Everything I said in my previous review is still true. Honestly, I wish Dr. Labrant could be my doctor for everything. During my pregnancy, I had concerns and questions throughout. Not once did Dr. Labrant act like I was wasting her time or anything to make me feel less than valued. She always responds and does so with calmness, so easy going but attentive. She never did anything unnecessary either, yet made sure to check into anything of concern, including my own concerns. When I was in labor, Dr. Labrant saw what was going on but rather than alarm me or anyone else, she made everything calm and directed what I needed to do. Because of her, my baby was safely delivered in a calm environment. She didn't divert from the things I told her for my birth plan either. She is all around amazing, and so are the staff and nurses that work with her. They are all amazing. I highly recommend Dr. Labrant for anyone looking for an OB or GYN. read more

If first impressions are worth anything, Dr LaBrant is already on a roll. It took a minute to get my foot in the door, but she was well worth the wait. Dr LaBrant is warm, relatable and thorough. That created safe space for me immediately. It was like night and day for me in terms of her professionalism is explaining why my former gynecologist informed me I needed to have an invasive procedure. Whereas he told me via rapid-fire voicemail, his rationale being "everything is normal and I still want to do it," Dr LaBrant made me part of the process, giving me dignity, humanness, making sure I understand the what and why of it needs to be done. I value these qualities in her. The two in-office exams I had weren't at all uncomfortable as I'd come to expect them to be. I actually had to ask if she had done and she even called me over the weekend with my (normal) results. That gentleness extends to her nurse Marina, and the technician I also saw. Dr LaBrant is exactly the kind of physician I've been looking for. I couldn't be more happy or feel more safe. Only 5 stars? Can I give more? read more

In a word, Dr. LaBrant is PHENOMENAL. Not only is she extremely thorough during office visits, she makes it her mission to stay up to date on the latest advancements in obstetrics so she can provide evidence-based support to her patients. She even did her own research to understand the risks and benefits of the various covid vaccines for her pregnant patients, which helped put my mind at ease. But what truly sets Dr. LaBrant apart is her commitment to her patients: she patiently answers questions no matter the hour and is supportive of her patients. I recently delivered my son via VBAC, an accomplishment I achieved because of Dr. LaBrant's unwavering support and optimism throughout my pregnancy and labor. I am so grateful to Dr. LaBrant for everything! read more

Dr. LaBrant is the best. She is very knowledgeable. I had 2 amazing deliveries with her. She takes time to explain everything and answer my concerns. My delivery went really smooth for both times. I had really fast recovery both times time. Hardly any pain. I am highly recommended her to everyone. The best Ob doctor!! read more

Through two very tricky pregnancies and a major surgery Dr Labrant's compassion and utmost professionalism has been outstanding. If you're looking for a Dr who is passionate about their field, keeps up with all the latest studies all while always being a truly caring person LaBrant is for you! Dr Labrant makes time to explain and answers all questions no matter how many times your baby brain doesn't retain the information. My first pregnancy was complicated by fibroids. She supported me through a 40 hour induction, delivered my son and came to see us while we recovered. I suffered postpartum depression that she picked up at my first check up after birth. That saved me from so much pain and missing out on the joy of being a new mom. MY ANGEL! 11 months later she took out my fibroids. The surgery was smooth and I recovered with no issues. I recovered so well in fact I was able to deliver my daughter myself. She came a week early so sadly LaBrant was visiting with her father who was in treatments or cancer when I went into labor. But she never left my side, she was with me on my phone and also taking charge with my treatment remotely. She made sure the staff at cedars knew my plan and that it was tricky and advocated for me so I didn't have to have a c-section. LaBrant gave me an effortless painless IUD recently, so sadly I'll only get to see her annually now. I've never known a more knowledgeable, kind, and even funny Dr. as Dr Labrant. She puts all her passion and wisdom into the best bedside manner and skilled practice. read more

Excuse the long review, but Dr. Labrant is one of the most outstanding health care providers I've ever had and I want to recognize how wonderful she is, especially if my feedback can help others. As an African-American pregnant woman, I had concerns about receiving adequate medical care during my pregnancy given the above average maternal mortality and morbidity rates among women who look like me. I initially selected an African-American OB, but during my first trimester I decided to switch doctors given that I wasn't satisfied with the OB's level of care. After conducting a lot of research, I switched to Dr. Labrant and was so happy with my choice. Although her practice is in an area that doesn't have much socioeconomic and ethnic diversity, she has extensive experience working with women of color (volunteered in Ethiopia, worked with Medi-Cal patients); so even though this time around I didn't have an OB that looked like me, Dr. Labrant's familiarity with women from my community made me comfortable and I always felt seen (no medical gaslighting). Throughout my pregnancy, Dr. Labrant was very accommodating. She always took the time to answer questions during each visit; my husband and I never felt rushed, which is unfortunately such a common feeling in the healthcare system. I worked with a doula and also had specific birth plan requests, and Dr. Labrant was very supportive of these decisions. When she had a different perspective for some of the requests, she was polite and pragmatic in her approach. She would often provide medical evidence to support her recommendation, which always led us to happily agree with her and feel confident in our joint decisions. She also balances her medical knowledge and proficiency with a friendly and down-to-earth vibe, so it always felt like a safe space with her. My pregnancy ultimately led to an induction which eventually led to a C-section. I was terrified because this was my first time ever getting surgery and also because a lot of maternal deaths occur among C-section patients, including a very well known case with an African-American woman at the hospital at which I was delivering. However, during this stressful time, I was so grateful to have Dr. Labrant by my side. She was very clear and thoughtful when explaining why a C-section was necessary. A lot of women of color are pressured into C-sections, but Dr. Labrant didn't pressure me and instead provided strong medical evidence on why this was critical for the health of my baby and me. She also accommodated specific requests I had about how the surgery would be performed to ensure I would be comfortable. Her approach and support allowed me to feel confident and relaxed as I prepared to get major surgery. Right before the operation began, she even thoughtfully asked me if I keloid easily to preempt post-op keloid scars. I am someone who experiences keloid scarring, yet this didn't even occur to me as something to look out for, so I was pleasantly surprised and grateful that Dr. Labrant brought this up and incorporated steroid treatment during the surgery to minimize this risk. After my delivery, Dr. Labrant continued to provide excellent care during my 6 week post-partum period. I am so grateful for her and look forward to getting her care again in the future. Thank you so much, Dr. Labrant! read more

Dr. LaBrant is the gold standard. Originally found her when I was 6 months pregnant with our first child and knew my experience at my former OB's office was not what it should be. From the moment I met Dr. LaBrant she has been an incredible listener, thorough, compassionate, and truly cares about my health, the baby's, and working with our family for the best possible care. We live over an hour away but wouldn't want anyone else to deliver our baby but her. This will be our third child for Dr. LaBrant to help bring into this world. No worries, just peace of mind with her in the delivery room. read more

Love love love Dr. Labrant and her staff. I went to her for my first baby 12 weeks pregnant and desperate for help due a horrible experience from previous doctor. She met my husband and I - explained the facts and calmed my nerves. We proceeded with the pregnancy and actually looked forward to our check ups. The previous dr had me in tears each time I left. We welcomed a healthy boy. Dr Labrant then helped with my fertility issues and guided me as though it was her going through the process. We welcomed a baby girl after all her help. If I enjoyed being pregnant I would do it again just to be around dr Labrant and her team. I miss seeing everyone from Angelina to Lauren to all the techs! Dr Labrant - Wish she could be my GP, pediatrician ... read more

My doctor was out of town when my son was born, and Dr. LaBrant was on call. The first time I met her was when she walked into the delivery room, which could've been super awkward, but she made it no big deal. She was very professional, friendly, and really great at what she does. She also came to my hospital room to check in the next two days, even though my doctor came back on the final day, which was really nice and appreciated! read more

I've called 6 times over the course of a week and a half trying to make an appointment. What is going on? This is very strange treatment from a doctor's office. read more

If you want a doctor who is empathetic, cares for you on a human-to-human level, and is actively involved in your treatment then steer clear of Dr. LaBrant. After delayed test results (which she told me were not a big deal and why was I so worried) came back positive for a fatal genetic disorder, Dr. LaBrant said to me on the phone "I don't know what to say to make you happy." Nice. Since that phone conversation, Dr. LaBrant has never once called to check up on me after I hysterically cried to her on the phone, checked in to see how the procedure I was supposed to have done went, or offered any words of comfort or encouragement. She has gone completely silent. I am truly disgusted by her handling of this situation and my pregnancy will no longer be in her hands (not that she would notice or care). read more

The best doctor ever! I did not have a good experience with my first baby (I was rushed and threatened to have a c-section if I did not hurry up) so I searched for another MD and Lia LaBrant was amazing! When giving birth she patiently waited in the hospital (she was called at 11 pm) until I was ready to push (at 12:30 am) and I gave birth at 1 am! Everything was smooth. When she arrived at 11 pm she even said I may give birth until 11 am the next day but she was not concerned with speeding up my delivery in any way and I ended up giving birth sooner! She's awesome! She always listens and followed my labor plan perfectly. She is just amazing! read more

excellent doctor. she is part of womens group of beverly hills and we have seen many of the doctors there and she is top notch. absolutely wonderful. if you're looking for a reputable OB/GYN, Dr LaBrant is excellent. read more

Very kind and knowledgeable doctor. Helped me resolve everything. I highly recommend dr. Lebrant

This is the first time I went to Dr LeBrant. Everything about the visit was great, especially knowing that she agreed with me that pap smears should not be stopped at 65 (something many doctors are doing now). She was thorough, knowledgeable, and very nice. read more

I can't say enough about Dr Labrant except that she is an incredible doctor who recently, safely delivered my baby girl. If you are looking for a doctor who is brilliant but extremely caring at the same time then you should see Dr Labrant. I'm so grateful that I got to have her as my OB-Gyn and anyone else would be very lucky to have her as their doctor. read more

Dr LaBrant is absolutely the best doctor I have ever come across in my LIFE. When I first learned that I was pregnant I planned on having a home birth. I started going to Dr LaBrant as a backup if for any reason we would end up in the hospital. I immediately fell in love with LaBrant and knew it would be a hard decision to not just go with her from beginning to end. Turns out we didn't even have to make that decision because I had some complications with my pregnancy that prevented me from having the option of a home birth. My husband and I had full confidence and trust in LaBrant throughout my pregnancy and especially during the birth of our daughter. She made us feel safe. She answered all of our questions and concerns with compassion. She listened to our wishes but never compromised on the safety of myself or our daughter. She is pragmatic, she is not an alarmist, she has an ease about her that puts you at ease, she is responsive when you leave her messages, she cares about her patients. She is dynamite people. If you are female and live in Los Angeles, go see Dr LaBrant!!! Oh and her entire team is awesome. They remember you and our family by name and are genuinely happy to see you when you walk into their office. read more

I'm not sure if it was inexperience or distraction but this doctor almost missed my ectopic pregnancy a few years ago. I came in with bleeding in early pregnancy and the technician was rude- only saying my "uterus was empty" during my first exam and pulling out a bloody vaginal ultrasound wand without so much as giving me a wipe. The doctor was also not very sympathetic and made it seem like I should just enjoy a day off while I wait to see what happens with my likely miscarriage. I had unusual symptoms like one sided pain that she didn't seem to take seriously. I went in to get checked weeks after my "miscarriage" because of acute pain and she said maybe I'm about to get my period. She called with my results a few days later and said "everything looks good" when I actually had an ectopic pregnancy and my blood levels were clearly off. Had I not pointed this out to her, I could have suffered serious and even fatal complications. When she realized her mistake she just said ok come in for a chemo injection to end the pregnancy. She was caring during the administration of that shot but I could not trust her after this series of interactions and especially her error at the end that I only caught because I had done my own research and advocacy. read more

Dr. LaBrant is a gem! I scoped out a bunch of OBs in Los Angeles, and we decided to work with her for the pregnancy & birth of our first child. She's exactly the mix of calm, reassuring, warm, knowledgable, and open-minded that I was seeking. She answered all my anxious first-time parent questions openly and never made me feel I was taking too much of her time. I also liked that her c-section rate is low and she supports options for natural childbirth in a hospital setting - just what we were looking for. When it turned out our little one was breech, Dr. LaBrant helped suggest various things I could do to help turn the baby, and even referred us to a doctor who does vaginal breech deliveries for a consultation. In the end we decided to stick with her because I trust her - and I'm so glad I did. I had a very positive c-section experience and would be eager to work with her in a future pregnancy if I am able to (she supports VBACs too!). You are in great hands with Dr. LaBrant! read more

I've gone through 3 different doctors. No one was giving me what I was looking for. I was looking for someone that made me feel like a person not a patient. That was curious and always learning and researching what was relievent and new findings (staying in the know) and most important putting the safety of me and my child first. When I found this GOLD of a human-being she not only had all of those, she exceeded all my expectations in the delivery room. She's an exceptional person and wildly talented doctor. Since finding her, I won't let anyone I love go to anyone else. 5 months after I delivered I had the pleasure of watching her deliever my sisters baby as well. Watching it from the otherside was even more amazing. She's becomes a coach, a friend and a doctor in the room. read more

I never saw the doctor, but frankly, you need to hold them accountable for their front staff operations. I went far out of my way for an appointment with this dr today only to find out they are out-of-network for me. I had asked on the phone about my insurance and told I was in-network, so filling out all the paperwork (both online and printing forms to bring in) was a massive waste of my time. I was kinda annoyed about the redundancy in documentation to begin with. Why am I printing things?! But for me to come in for an appointment and then find out they are out-of network?!?! This could have easily been avoided with a better process. The dr may be great, but I feel I dodged a bullet, as the office was jam-packed and I got the sense that even though I arrived 15 min prior to my appt as directed, I was in for a loooong wait. If you are looking at multiple appts for pre-natal care, and have other obligations that prevent spending half a day unproductively every couple weeks, this office is not in your best interest. read more

Better late than never - Dr. LaBrant was my OB 2 years ago but I was just searching her name hoping by some chance she had moved to Northern California like we did (no luck). I had to change practices in 2018 mid-pregnancy for insurance reasons and am SO lucky to have been referred to her! It ended up being a complicated pregnancy and I couldn't have been in better hands. She worked seamlessly with our maternal fetal specialist. She was up-to-date on all the latest research about what was safest for me and my daughter. She was incredibly responsive to our questions and seemed genuinely invested in how we were all doing. I really felt like we were all a team and that I was well-informed of our options at every moment. Her knowledge and experience are incredible - I felt like if she knew how to deliver babies in Africa we were going to do just fine at Cedar-Sinai!!! Heading into delivery I had 100% confidence in her decision making about how to manage my labor and potential complications. She has a very low C-section rate and seems to really understand how to help the body do its job whenever possible. She was extremely calm and supportive all through labor, delivered our tiny baby perfectly, and continued to be wonderful in the days and weeks post delivery. We miss you Dr. LaBrant!!! read more

Dr Lia LaBrant was absolutely amazing through our entire pregnancy and she was the absolute BEST during the labor of our baby girl in May 2018. We are so lucky and thankful we found her! read more
