Dr. Berookim is responsive & caring. His office staff is a pleasure to work with. He is easy to talk to and tries different options before resorting to prescriptions. read more

Yesterday I had my first colonoscopy ever. It was with Dr. Berookim. He is caring and brilliant. I feel like I am in really good hands with him and confident in his abilities. He's also got a wonderful bedside manner. I was petrified to have this procedure, but he really put my mind at ease. He also takes care of my husband and I would highly recommend him. read more

Great guy. Takes interest and looks you in the eye. Hoping to have a smooth colonoscopy and endoscopy.... No pun intended. A very warm office. read more

Dr. Berookim is a thoughtful, patient doctor with an amazing bedside manner. As someone that is afraid of illness and hesitant to see a doctor at all, he made me feel completely at ease and trusting of his recommendations in his office today. Can't recommend him enough. Same to his office staff who were cracking jokes -- I truly felt like everyone was on my team. One thing to note about him being out-of-network: many of the facilities he uses for procedures do take insurance which helps lessen associated costs significantly. Returning patients also pay much less than his initial fee. Your health is worth the cost of seeing the best and Dr. Berookim is certainly up there. read more

Given all these glowing reviews , this may be an outlier. This doctor is considered to be "The Best GI Doctor In LA" however my personal experiences with him don't reflect that mantra. I'm not sure if it was because I'm younger and thus less likely to return for more appointments , but Dr.Berookim seemed to rush with me and skipped over some tests he said he was going to take. Now , when you pay $400 for a consultation fee , one expects to find out what may be wrong with them , especially when visiting the "The Best GI Doctor In LA" right? Wrong. This doctor gave me a fecal test and antibiotics and sent me on my way. Didn't receive a follow up phone call after antibiotics were finished with advice to take probiotics and stay away from certain foods. Maybe he is the best GI doctor but likely only to his loyal and returning patients that he knows he will be profiting off of much greater. read more

Dr. Berookim is an astonishing doctor. I couldn't have felt more taken care of than I did with all his recent treatment. Caring, patient, knowledgeable... everything you'd want from a healthcare provider (which is rare these days!) If you're looking for the best, he is the man! read more

Fantastic doctor. The best gastroenterologist! Experienced and concerned about his patients.

I have had mysterious stomach problems, including extreme bloating, for years. The first GI I saw back in 2017 said he could tell something was sting but didn't know what it was. He sent me off with Zantac, never to contact me again. I gave up until a few weeks ago. Dr. Berookim suspected SIBO the first time he saw me. He sent me home with some tests, and turned out to be absolutely right. I'm currently on medication to treat the condition, which he's confident he can cure. His confidence is very assuring. His bedside manner is great. He's funny and doesn't gaslight. His staff is helpful and informative. I know I found the right doctor. read more

Went to see Dr. Berookim for my dad whose been suffering with GI issues for 20+ years. Super caring bed side manner, extensive knowledge, and on the cutting edge with lab testing for getting to the root of the underlying mechanism behind chronic digestive disorders. I am not sure how integrative his approach is, but I can tell you "he gets it" in the sense of balancing between lifestyle and the use of allopathic medicine. I look forward to partnering with him further on getting to the root cause of my father's long haul of GI discomfort and suffering. The staff that works there - also great, and on their A-game. #GetItDone read more

The doctor does not seem like a bad guy, but I had a really bad experience here, with the nurses in particular. I came here to take a breath test for SIBO and was given an inaccurate diagnosis. I had to figure this out myself by going over the protocol and numbers that were jotted on the result sheet and noticing she had done the math wrong. She had diagnosed me with the wrong type of SIBO. This error would've suggested I needed a completely different treatment which could've been harmful and totally unhelpful for me if I had not taken it apon myself to double check everything. I had to go back in to the office for another appointment and pay extra to see dr brookerim directly, just so he could fix their error and correct my diagnosis. Despite the incompetence from his staff, I did not even hear an apology, I was just quietly handed back my corrected results. I also decided to test for H. pylori to rule it out while I was there this time and was charged exponentially more than this test costs anywhere else. The whole thing left a poor taste in my mouth about this business and has kept me from going back. I since switched back to a naturopathic doctor who has been very helpful. Moral of the story: always double check and advocate for yourself, even when you might think you are going to a medical professional that you can completely trust! read more

If you care about health and recovery of yourself or a loved one, there is other choice but Dr. Berookim, MD !

I'm very impressed with Dr. Berookim and his colleagues. I've had a history of digestive issues; the usual MD would shrug and diagnose GERD/Acid Reflux and prescribe PPIs that did nothing. Dr. B has cutting edge knowledge of digestive health. His recommendations have made a 180 degree difference in my digestive health. In addition, I underwent an endoscopy/colonoscopy with Dr. B and his colleagues and I can't imagine a more efficient, professional experience. His hard-working office staff is also a model of professionalism. It took me years of effort to find a GI doctor with Dr. B's skills and I'm very grateful I did. read more

Dr. Berookim is phenomenal. Fantastic depth of knowledge and a warm, friendly bedside manner. He has successfully seen me through several gastro issues where he was extremely thorough and communicative. Followup has always been great. Recently, I had a colonoscopy and every single member of his team shared the same caring, competent and calming demeanor. I can't recommend Dr. Berookim highly enough. He deserves six stars. read more

Dr. Berookim is amazing and so kind, I went 10+ years without a diagnosis. Other GI doctors and specialists basically told me there was no issue despite being in the ER twice yearly. Dr Berookim figured it out immediately, recommended the appropriate tests and assured me that it was not normal to be vomiting that often. He's got a great bedside manner, his office is kind and easy to schedule with. I've now been 3+ years with amazing results due to small tweaks and meds. He definitely deserves the best GI Doctor in LA, would venture to say in all of Cali. Thanks Dr. Berookim! read more

Needed to go for my first colonoscopy. Kept pushing it off... really stupid of course. But I finally just set it up. I had a great experience with Dr Berookim's office. Lexus and the other staff were prompt and clear. Dr. Berookim is friendly and informative. I did the google thing and of course heard all the horror stories... None of that with Dr Berookim. I just followed his instructions and it was a piece of cake. A month later I sent my elderly parents to him. Highly recommended! read more

Dr. B is literally the best GI doctor you will ever have!!! This doctor has helped me with every GI issue I face. He moved mountains to get me in for a colonoscopy & endoscopy. He is very understanding, an amazing listener, and genuinely cares to see his patients get better & have healthy lives! His staff are all so kind, quickly get me in for appointments, and the facility he works out of is really clean and beautiful. There's no other GI in the world that works as hard or fast as Dr. B! You won't be disappointed with your treatment! read more

Dr. Berookim is the best!! I am so grateful to have found him. I went to him for severe pain in my abdomen. Nobody could figure out what was wrong with me. He did!! It turned out I had SIBO. and E.coli . He put me on a plan to heal. He also helped me to lose some weight. I am so happy and thrilled and feeling great!! THANK YOU!!! read more

I feel so lucky and blessed to have been treated by Dr. Berookim because from the very first appointment he figured out what was wrong with me. After almost 17 years of suffering from unexpected flare ups (bloating, pain in my abdomen, muscle spasms, and the list goes on) that would leave me bedridden for days, I was finally able to get answers. I've literally been to so many GI specialists, primary care physicians, gynecologists, and have even taken a holistic approach but no one was able to give me answers. And I know I can put a name to my symptoms and no longer feel crazy. I am proud to say that I have been symptom-free since April 2021. Thank you Dr B! read more

Amazing bedside manner, didn't bother with unnecessary tests and gave me a treatment where I can live a pretty normal life. Highly recommend! read more

Best gastroenterologist in California!! We are so grateful that we found Dr. Berookim. My hubby was suffering from really bad stomachaches and we went on two separate occasions to the doctor and after running test they would tell us he was fine and nothing was wrong because everything was coming back normal. Since he didn't improve for a long period of time and we weren't convinced that nothing was wrong with him, we started to look for a new doctor. We finally found Dr. Berookim online and we decided to make an appointment. On the first appointment on that very same day, Dr. Berookim examined his tummy and ran tests. The very next day he called us to let us know what was happening and told us he needed strong antibiotic ASAP. To our surprise, before he called us he had already sent the prescription to our pharmacy on file and within an hour it was ready to be picked up. Now that's showing interest in your patients!! My husband's stomaches went away and he has improved tremendously. Something that we really appreciate is that if your appointment is at certain time he's there exactly at that time; he doesn't make you wait. He sits down and he actually listens to you carefully while he's looking right at your eyes (unlike other doctors who don't even look at you or just say "sure" "hmmm" "uh huh"), he doesn't rush in order to get to the next patient. Our first appointment lasted about 45 minutes and the follow up about 30 minutes. Also, he takes his time to explain to you with pictures what's going on and what the medication is for. At the front desk there is a girl named Bianca, she was very nice and accommodating. The first time I called I wasn't sure if they would take our insurance or not so she took my information and she took it upon herself to call our insurance and check it they were on our network, that is what I call service! For these and many other reasons we are so thankful that we found Dr. Berookim and we don't mind driving 3 HOURS and 45 MINUTES to get excellent medical services, to us is soooooo worth it :) read more

Best doctor in town for colonoscopy! Don't fear....Dr. Berookim is here!! Easy in and out procedure and he provides you details before and after. Don't hesitate and call him today! read more

Excellent, thorough, attentive, kind doctor. Lovely, compassionate staff. I highly recommend. read more

I have been suffering from stomach issues my whole life. After my first appointment with Dr. Berookim I have hope that I can get better. He was very knowledgeable with great bedside manner. It's rare to find a doctor that makes you feel like he cares! On top of that the office staff are prompt and friendly! read more

Just finished with a follow up visit with Dr. Berookim. His staff was pleasant as always and he took his time with me and answered all of my questions. I never feel Like I'm being rushed out of his office. Dr. Berookim is genuinely concerned about his patients well being. Since I live over 100 miles from his office, He does what he can to cut down my travel time, by allowing me to email him questions or concerns and/or calling him. And Dr . Berookim always responds to my emails and calls within 24 hours or less. And he has called me several times just to check up on me to see how I am doing. I have no concerns whatsoever recommending Dr. Berookim to anyone seeking a gi doctor. read more

Dr. Berookim is the best. He listened to all my concerns and gave me several suggestions to help my symptons. He is very caring and I feel I am in the best of hands. read more

Dr Berookim is the BEST! I've been to a number of gastroenterologists over the years and none have taken the time to explain conditions and offer suggestions like he does. I had a phone conference to review the results of an endoscopy, colonoscopy, and biopsies and he literally took me on a journey throughout my system with excellent and easy to comprehend explanations. He even complimented me on my "thorough cleansing" :) He reviewed my current meds and suggested replacing one with his recommended choice. Once again, he provided a detailed and understandable explanation as to his reasoning. My last doctor had a staff that was painfully inefficient. His staff is on top of everything, responds to email and phone calls in a reasonable and timely manner. They are pleasant and helpful and that really makes a difference! I am so glad I found this doctor! read more

At all points, Dr Berookim stood out as professional, reassuring, and hyper competent. He explained everything I needed to know, and stood up to every question I had, regardless of how informed they were. I never felt rushed or the lack of his focus or attention. His office felt personable and warm, so the visits werent a chore or something to dread. All told, in just a couple appointments he was able to look to the symptoms I was experiencing, provide a diagnosis, and I'm good to go. read more

Doctor B is an excellent doctor and kind human. Iv had on going stomach issue before I arrived in his care and doctor B has been there with me every step of the way. We have systematically eliminate my symptoms and getting down to the root cause. He always on-top everything, super kind and highly informative. Most importantly he is very honest about and transparent. Highly recommended for any stomach issue you may be having. read more

Dr. Berookim is the man!!! Let me tell you after months of dealing with horrible stomach issues Dr. B was able to get to the bottom of it. This man definitely takes his craft serious and is a master at his craft, don't even waste your time going to anyone else but Berookim. So Thankful for the internet these days & after hours of searching for a good GI specialist I was beyond grateful to find him and get tested and treated properly. I'm finally able to feel normal and healthy again. Thanks again for everything doc. Keep up the good work read more

Went to Dr. Berookim after suffering from stomach pains for over a decade. Had a procedure, everything went so smoothly. Dr. Berookim is so professional and knowledgeable. He also is kind, caring and understanding; makes the patient feel well cared for. I'm pain free and finally living a normal life. I owe this to Dr. Berookim. read more

New patient of Dr. Berookim. Really like this guy. Starts with a well-run and efficient office and front desk, who are kind and patient with all the usual insurance crap everyone has to deal with. Appointment at 1130am and actually taken in to meet the doctor, shortly thereafter. Imagine that? Can't tell you how much I appreciate a physician who actually takes the time to get to know his patient and try to obtain a full understanding of the problem, like he managed to do in spending 20-30 mins with me. Also, very patient to answer the many questions I had. I'm day 2 into his proposed remedy for my illness, and so far so good. If you're looking for a new Gastro specialists, look no further. Thank you, Dr. Berookim. read more

Just saw Dr Berookim and couldn't be happier. After several years of stomach pain and questions I finally have answers and no pain. Highly recommend him and his office staff is friendly as well. Plus they work quickly getting you in and out right away. read more

Let's start with the staff. Professional and courteous. I arrived very early and the sweet receptionist said she would do what she could to shorten to my wait. And sure enough, as soon as Dr Berookim was available, they brought me in to be seen. This was my first time in the office and I was thrilled that Dr Berookim was so attentive and caring. I went in a bit nervous and he totally put me at ease. (He has a great sense of humor). I'm very comfortable kowingthat I'm in good hands and Dr Berookim will make sure I'm feeling well. I'm adding this 2 weeks later...Dr B calls to see how I'm feeling! Who does that anymore????? He's the greatest. read more

Whoever was picking up scheduling calls on December 4, 2017 at 2PM was very condescending and rude. Wont be coming here due to this experience. It is such a shame because I heard such great things about Dr. Berookim. Dr. Berookim: please hire staff with more etiquette. read more

Dr Berookim literally saved my life. His incredibly thorough colonoscopy found a very rare stage 3 Cancer. He helped get a great team of doctors together - primary care, oncologist and surgeon He visited each day while I was recovering from surgery even on a weekend. His bedside manner and professional treatment inside and outside of his office are wonderful. If you are in need of a top notch GI doctor you've found him. read more

Dr. Berookim is an extremely thorough, no bs dr. I was due for an endo/colo and both he and his staff could not have been more accommodating. From the procedure to the post procedure appointment, everything went very well. The prep(which is always the worst part) was ordered by his staff and there was no charge for it and I picked it up at my local pharmacy. After the procedure, he briefly spoke to me but then had a longer visit at the post appointment with him. He's patient and answered all q's. I highly recommend Dr. Berookim and the GI institute. Excellent experience. read more

Dr. Berookim and his office staff are the best! I went in with stomach issues and ended up getting a gastric scope. The facility he sent me to was amazing! The nurses were super attentive and the anesthesiologist was great. Everything went smooth and it turned out I needed medication . He was very thorough, supper nice and is incredibly knowledgeable and uses cutting edge methods that really work. I would absolutely recommend him and I felt very well taken care of!!! read more

My reviews way over due. Almost a year ago, I googled best GI Doctored Los Angeles Beverly Hills. I saw Dr Berookims, reviews on multiple sites. I really wasn't happy with my GI Doctor and made the appointment to see Dr. Berookim. Best choice I've ever made. Nice office easy to find. His staff works like a well oiled machine, they are extremely professional when your scheduling an appointment or need to talk to them. (I've been to 5 other GI doctors) Dr. B is actually human and really cares about his patients. He did all the proper testing, then prescribed medications. He did personal follow ups which was great. Anyone that has IBS or any digestive issues knows how life altering the problem can be. I'm really happy I found this Doctor. Thank you to all the great reviewers. read more

I completely understand why Dr. B has 5 stars, and while yelping a medical doctor seems weird- I feel it necessary to do so. Let's start with how cool he is. He's approachable, funny and kind. But all that does not take away from his professionalism. While he is kind, he also knows his **it (pun intended). He has a wealth of knowledge, asked questions up the wazoo (another pun- your welcome) and takes his time with his patients, providing them with information and knowledge. He was concerned about my symptoms and recommended a procedure which ended up preventing what could have been catastrophic had I waited too long. Had he not been alert and attentive...well let's just say you-know-what may have hit the fan in the future. Very grateful! read more

Dr. Berookim is one of the most caring, professional and amazing doctors and human beings I've met. His bedside manner is very comforting and his support leading up to the procedure was on another level. His office staff is always responsive and they always follow up on all inquiries and questions. Dr. B knew I was anxious going into the procedure and he even went out of his way to give me a call and give me a boost in confidence prior to my endoscopy. Thank you Dr. Berookim, read more
