We had a wonderful experience with Dr. Livingston during the birth of our daughter this weekend. As…read morefirst-time parents, our precipitous labor was completely unexpected. I arrived already 10 cm dilated, and the doctor came in while things were pretty chaotic but handled everything very calmly. I wasn't able to get an epidural in time, but she still advocated for me and supported my request to try, which meant a lot. She also guided me through different positions to help me push more effectively, which made a big difference. I especially appreciated her communication when our daughter's heart rate was dipping during contractions. She kept us informed and gave us a thoughtful heads-up about possible next steps without making us feel rushed or pressured. Very grateful to have a healthy baby and such a smooth recovery so far!

After being unsatisfied by my previous primary care providers due to always feeling rushed and dismissed, I am really glad to have found Dr. Livingston. The appointment did not feel rushed, she asked many questions and also listened to my concerns seriously. She is very knowledgeable and gave feedback on what could be done / tested on my concerns & what wouldn't be helpful, and she also help set up any follow up tests necessary. My only wish is that it's easier to find appointment availability as I had to book months ahead, but I think that speaks to how great she is! Although it was just my first appointment, I'm looking forward to working with Dr. Livingston as I feel like she genuinely cares and will take care of her patients! Also front desk is efficient & friendly even though they were very busy. It was easy to book other appointments with the front desk.

In addition to my deliveries, he's performed two other procedures for me, including my most recent laparoscopic hysterectomy. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my care! Not only do I trust him with my life and my children's lives, but I've referred countless friends and family to him--some of whom he literally saved when other doctors dismissed their concerns and sent them home. He takes your health seriously, listens, and acts when it matters most. I will continue to refer him time and time again and will always choose him for my care. Dr. Taymour truly has your health and your whole well-being at heart.

It was only 2 days later after having intercourse with my husband that the profuse bleeding started, which ended up in an Urgent Care visit. How did I have a BIOPSY and then be sent home with ZERO AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS?!?!?! And how the hell am I supposed to know on my own that I was to avoid ANYTHING IN THE VAGINAL AREA for 2-4 weeks????? Terrible service. RISKY service. I could have ended up with an infection!!!!! I called their emergency nurse who consulted me to go to urgent care, and NO ONE HAS EVEN CALLED ME TO CHECK AND SEE HOW THE SUNDAY URGENT CARE VISIT WENT! Terrible. I'd give no stars if I could.

Dr. Karm is truly a one-of-a-kind physician who I am so fortunate to have as my OBGYN. She is…read morecaring, kind, professional, dedicated, and personable (to name a few). Patient care is her top priority. During my visits, she spent the time to listen and answer my questions. Her answers were thorough, thoughtful, and based in science. If she was ever unsure, she would research it and then get back to me. I always felt secure in knowing that I was in great hands. She is absolutely the best and am lucky to have her as my OBGYN. She also has a group of incredible nurses who are efficient and kind. Every time I have messaged them (either via the Memorialcare portal or over the phone), they have responded back within minutes to at most a couple hours even to questions that are not time sensitive. When I have an appointment, rarely do I have to wait. The nurses get me in and take my vitals and information. Dr. Karm is usually close behind. Overall, she is the best at what she does and has a great team of nurses. If you are lucky to have her as your OBGYN or even get to have an appointment with her, you've hit the jackpot!

I wanted to share my experience being a patient of Dr. Karm. In my opinion, Dr. Karm performed two…read morecervical biopsies on me without appropriate pain management. The first time she performed this procedure on me, she said told me to take an aspirin before I arrived. Then prior to taking the biopsy she told me it might "Pinch" or there might be some "Pressure." I didn't know what to expect since I had never had this procedure done outside of a surgical room under anesthesia with a previous doctor. After the experiencing this procedure with Dr. Karm, I found this procedure to be incredibly painful - and was really shocked that all I was provided was advice to take an aspirin prior to arriving. The second time Dr. Karm needed to perform a cervical biopsy on me, I asked her if I could have something for pain management and she said no because, "It's too quick of a procedure to justify needing pain management." She went on to explain that the pain management she could provide would take longer than the procedure itself, so she said she would not be providing pain management for my cervical biopsy for that reason. Taking an aspirin prior to having someone perform a biopsy that felt like having your cervix hole punched repeatedly was not proper pain management as far as my needs were concerned. In my experience, Dermatologists perform skin biopsies and Dentists pull teeth quickly, but both do so with appropriate pain management. I feel the amount of time it takes to perform a procedure does not equate to the level of pain management needed.

Don't bother. This doctor has a clear bias against Black women in my personal experience with her…read more She was dismissive, condescending to me and my husband, who attended the appointment with me. The appointment was to discuss test results after I came to her about pain. She told me my condition doesn't cause pain and refused to treat my pain. She made it seem like I was looking for pills. Thankfully, another doctor in Torrance listened and developed a treatment plan- something Dr. Several would not do for me. I left her office crying and my husband was in disbelief. This is the kind of medical neglect that kills Black women. Stay away.

She was well-prepared and very knowledgeable about our past visits and current circumstances. She made us feel so comfortable and safe under her care. She put our fears at ease and created a sense of trust so effortlessly. She is warm, kind, empathetic, and makes you feel so cared for. She truly goes the extra mile for her patients and has a way of making complex medical language understandable--taking the time to listen to you and explain things so well. Her blend of professionalism and personal touch is extraordinary. She is truly a gift to her patients. She is the type of doctor any person would be so lucky to have on their care team. Our only wish is that we had met her sooner in our journey.

In particular, I had a scare during the pregnancy and rushed to the office to try and get seen by a doctor and she made magic happen to get me checked ASAP.
