Today was my first visit here and Dr Richard and his physical assistant, Adam Mogil both saw me and I did some ultra sound on the spot enabling them to give a diagnostic on the spot I really appreciate the efficiency and the knowledge of this doctor The clinic is super clean a little bit on the old-fashioned architecture side, but the rooms are decorated with Dr David's photos; his hobby!The staff is super good and efficient and friendly. Destiny is super lively and helpful I really love my experience at this doctor's office today read more

See all

I recently came to see Dr David for a second opinion. I really appreciated him, his staff, and the way that everything worked out. Dr David took the time to really listen to my concerns, talk me through the prognosis and potential treatment options. I really appreciated his willingness to answer all of my questions, and not make me feel silly for asking. He and his team did a very thorough job, and I left our consultation with a lot more confidence about the way forward. And I really appreciated that. There's a pretty ample sized parking lot, which is nice, although it is shared. But I've never had a difficult time finding a parking spot. The front desk staff is helpful and I don't think you'll have any issues scheduling or other administrative things with them. The one thing that I would say, is it can be a little difficult to get an appointment with Dr David himself. The nice thing is that he has some nurse practitioners and PAs on staff and you can easily book an appointment with them. read more

Bad business! While doctor Richard is one of best doctors I have met, I will never go back to that office again and won't recommend anyone going there. Rude, unprofessional and ignorant nurse is what you will get before getting to the doctor. read more

I previously reported that this practice made us wait too long and took too much of our time. The fact is that they're not effective communicators. The reason for the long wait time is that they have their own in house lab and do urine and blood tests while we wait in the examination rooms. This saves patients from having to go to an outside lab. Given this information, I whole heartedly give them the highest possible rating. I only wish they had communicated with me why the wait was so long. I did mention the wait a few times, they certainly had the chance to inform me. read more

This is a follow-up to my initial review where I had visited Dr. David on an issue I had. I thought he was excellent in the initial consultation. Following up on my initial appointment and based on what I was experiencing and Dr. David's assessment of the issue he performed a medical procedure which identified my having stage 1 bladder cancer. As one would expect news that you have cancer is unsettling to say the least. He proceeded to remove the malignant tumor. He discussed with me the fact that since this was caught early and he was able to completely remove the fairly large tumor, the prognosis for recovery was excellent. He prescribed a plan of care to reduce the risk of recurrence. Throughout this situation Dr. David took the time to thoroughly explain every aspect of this issue, and put my mind to ease that a cancer diagnosis is not the end, that with a proper plan of care including lifestyle interventions like diet, exercise, weight management, etc. one can lead a normal life for years to come. These discussions really helped me deal with this situation. I would also like to say that all the staff in his office were very professional, caring and very supportive for every appointment that I've had. I was very lucky that Dr. David caught the problem early and would recommend to all readers to not put off having Cystoscopies to catch problems early. read more

Susan S Salzwedel, PA is great. She has helped me over the years with my ongoing issues and always personally calls me if I have questions. I truly appreciate this and I am thankful to have found her. Jennie is an outstanding receptionist and always helps me when I call in. Dr David is wonderful- he has great bedside manner and I truly trust him as a doctor. read more

he is the best doctor I have ever had in my life. great guy and explain everything to detail I wish him the best of life and great time for good. i am so happy i meet him and he diagnosed my symptoms right away. in my job also i tried to be like that give 100% my knowledge to my clients. thank you Doctor Richard. read more

Yes I do as I thought the staff were conscientious at providing a good tasting pizza on time...that was my 1st impression.

Aquablation from Dr David seems life-changing: 27 days after the procedure, I sleep through the night - used to wake up to pee every 2 hours. A round of golf meant hitting every bathroom and running for discreet trees, but now go once or not at all. Procedure was done at Providence-Ceders Tarzana, and everyone there, from admitting through nursing, were outstanding, as were Dr. David and his team. Overnight in the hospital, then home the next day: my first time urinating post-procedure, completely unprepared for the level of increased flow and horrified/thrilled to hit the wall behind the toilet. All functions preserved. Great doctor and great procedure for enlarged prostate. read more

I saw Dr. David in the Sherman Oaks office as I wanted to get advice and treatment for urinary incontinence after having my two children. On my last visit, as I described my symptoms again, Dr. David and Susan Salzwadel, the nurse, did not take my concerns seriously. Throughout my visit, they exchanged looks that indicated to me they didn't believe what I was telling them. At one point, Dr. David told me to drink one glass of water per day to cut down on my need to use the restroom. I honestly couldn't tell if he was being sarcastic or serious. Either way, I left the office knowing that I wouldn't consult him any further. I recently received an email that Susan Salzwadel is offering Viveve treatments at the office. This type of treatment sounds like something that would benefit me and other women who experience urinary incontinence. However, I won't be seeking treatment with either one of these people. I'll look for another doctor and office that provides more understanding and compassionate care for their patients. It's definitely not this place. read more

They have no respect for the patient's time. I wish I read reviews on here weeks ago before I booked my husband's appointment. They scheduled him for 8:30am, being that early in the morning I would have thought they would be on time too. I expect to wait 10-15 mins but, we waited for an1 hr, then I walked out of the office. We sat in the waiting room for 50 mins and then we sat in the doctors actual office and not even the exam room. They didn't care or apologize because they knew that it was ridiculous! read more

This urologist is excellent! My mother in law Irene was operated on, and the surgery went well. She was operated at Tarzana Medical Center, a long with an obgyn doctor from a different facility. Dr Richard David was willing to be in the same operating room with the obgyn doctor, even though he had never worked with her before. Dr David was extremely humble, patient, and caring since the first day he starting seeing Irene. You can tell he loves to help people, and advocate for his patients health. He took his time to explain the surgical procedure to Irene and her husband to make sure they felt comfortable with the surgery. Jenny, who is part of his administrative team, was so helpful. She is also extremely nice to all patients, and answers all questions with such pleasure. You can tell she loves to work in the healthcare industry. I totally recommend this urologist! read more

Simply excellent. The top of the tree in urology knowledge and skill, and charming and personable as well. He identified the tumor inside my bladder, and removed it swiftly with such surgical skill that a week later I was completely back to normal. Grateful to have found him. read more

incredible Physician and wonderful staff Dr. David has been caring for my husband for 7 years Couldn't find anyone better read more

I recently visited Dr.Adam Mogil, at this office Skyline urology. He is most excellent at the procedures that he performs.. I would recommend him over other doctors super good no problems.. Very happy.!!! read more

The reviews are all true, this is a great office. Dr Richard David is real friendly and an extremely competent doctor. His energy level and knowledge are unbelievable. I went to 3 other doctors before going to his office and none of them could figure out what was wrong with me, but he was able to help. Thank you Dr David. I don't know what I would have done without you. His staff is also great. I had a 3 o'clock appointment, and when I arrived at 3 there were about 10 other people in the waiting room. I was thinking to myself, "Oh crap, I'm gonna be stuck here all day." But literally 30 seconds after I walked in, they called me back into the doctor's office (there are a few other doctors in this office, so maybe those waiting were the other doctors' patients). I was just relieved that I didn't have to wait. I love when a medical office is on time with their appointments, it shows that the office staff knows what they're doing. I definitely recommend this place, great doctor, great nurses, and great office staff. Everything a doctor's office should be... read more

I left my previous urologist because of poor patient care. I was told by my previous urologist I had a few issues which were not curable but could be mitigated with daily medication or an implant. I had expected to go to Dr. David just to get a new prescription & receive better care for the issues I thought i already had. I had been living with uncomfortableness, pain & stress for over 2 years. I met with Dr. David & told him the diagnosis I had received & my symptoms. He had me give a urine sample & he did a quick physical exam. Immediately after, he told me I had a bacterial infection that could be cured with a round or two of antibiotics. What? These non curable issues I have are really curable and I've been suffering for over 2 years because my previous doctor was incompetent!?! I was ecstatic, but skeptical. It was too good to be true. I took the first 21-day round of antibiotics and felt the same. Then I took another 21-day round of a different antibiotic and all my symptoms cleared up!!! Thank you Dr. David! Not only was I suffering, but my relationship was as well and you have made my life so much better now! Dr. David is not the most punctual, but he is personable, takes time with his patients and is educated. If I have to wait a few extra minutes for proper care, I'm fine with that. The staff at the office are also very pleasant & personable. Oh and there's a free lot to park in, which is always an added bonus. ;-) read more

Dr. David performed a much needed surgery recently. I feel so much better now. He is a fine doctor. I feel comfortable with him, he knows his stuff. Very pleasant office staff. read more

Dr, David is a fantastic doctor. He genuinely cares about his patients and is very kind. I was getting UTI's and no other doctor had the expertise to send my urine to DNA to figure out what was going one. He acts very humble and easy to talk to. He is your super expert friend. read more

I have been accompanying my elderly father to his appointments at Skyline Urology every month since 2014, and can only express my gratitude to Dr David, his assistant Mr. Adams, and his friendly and hardworking office staff and nurses. Dr David had been managing metastatic prostate cancer of my father for more than two years and I am grateful we are still full of energy and hope. But the wait time is horrible. Thank you! read more

Richard D David, MD - Urologists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I had made an appointment with Dr. David in April to discuss if I would be a good candidate for his specialty procedure - called the HoLEP. He took a great deal of time explaining to my son and myself the pros and risks of the procedure. We set an appointment for June 1, 2020 at Tarzana Providence Medical Center. Dr. David was better than advertised. I was out for about 3 hours using anesthetics during this time, and woke up in no pain. Frankly - the only pain was the insertion of the IV needle for the fluids that would flush my bladder after the operation - not much more than a scratch. He elected for me to stay overnight, which I was upset about, but in retrospect that time was well spent stabilizing the bleeding from the prostate wounds until they had started to knit. At 2 PM the next day I was discharged - feeling no pain. And - that has how the recuperation has been: No Pain! Dr. David is a UCLA Med. guy, and he is nothing short of stellar! Other than retraining myself - my life is very much better not having to worry about my prostate. I would seriously recommend anyone with an enlarged prostate that is giving them problems to contact Dr. David for a consultation. You will indeed be in good hands. He is a 5 star out of 5 star HoLEP Specialty Urologist. P.S.: A NOTE ABOUT SELF CATHETERIZATION: Please see my comments about the potential relief this technique offers to those with chronic urine flow issues due to an enlarged prostate. It should be undertaken after discussing with your urologist as an appropriate remedy. read more

The criterion to evaluate a medical professional is a challenge. Having been thorough the spectrum of services with Dr. Richard David, I can certainly reflect on, and present my experience. Yes, like others, you can expect to wait to see him; and at least 45 minutes was the norm for most of my visits. More importantly, let's reflect on the doctor. I used Dr. David for a basic overnight/outpatient procedure he claimed to specialize in, at a local hospital he recommended. Using both Dr. David for the procedure and Mission Community Hospital was a huge mistake. I learned the equipment he used at the hospital was provided by a rental outfit, requiring diagnostic testing by both the delivering technician and the MCH Bio-Med technician before use. The equipment failed during the pre-op check in the presence of Dr. David, but was still used, and then failed 15 minutes into surgery. As a result, Dr. David opted to use a contraindicated alternative surgical procedure that I specifically told him I did not want, and also ill-advised by the medical community. The hospital was ill prepared to handle the failed outcome, and the staff untrained for the consequences and post-operative care. My urgent calls for Dr. David to respond were ignored for 3 hours. When Dr. David did finally respond, he recognized the urgent need for a second surgery to control bleeding, and I ended up in intensive care. Dr. David was consistently flippant to my concerns, after care and follow-up office visits for weeks. After weeks of agony, and a few follow-up visits with Dr. David, I sought and received treatment and a second procedure from UCLA to fix the complications and problems from Dr. David's surgery. Dr. Davids office was so arrogant, they charged me $25 for my medical record copies to take to UCLA. The care from the UCLA doctor and UCLA was superb, and marked contrast from my experience with Dr. David and Mission Community Hospital. I can say with complete conviction that using Dr. David is not only a bad choice; it is not a choice at all. read more

I brought my father to see Dr. David for a second opinion and we are very happy we did. His previous urologist gave us bad news about posible prostate cancer and didn't really care to treat my dad. His previous urologist had horrible bedside manners but after visiting Dr. David we found out it was only a prostate infection my father had. Dr. David treated my dad with 1 month of antibiotics and was very respectful, caring, concerned, and was very detailed with us about my father's history as current health exam. We left his office feeling much better and happy to finally have a doctor that is knowledgeable and with many years of experience. We are very thankful for Dr. David and his staff. His office staff was also great! Everyone is nice and knowledgeable. I would 110% recommend Dr. David / Skyline Urology to anyone that needs this type of care. And a big plus Dr. David is fluent in Spanish so that was a huge plus for my father. Two thumbs up to this office!! Thank you Dr. David and staff for a great experience. read more

I went to see Dr. David because he was close to my house and had good reviews. BIG MISTAKE. I got there on time for my appointment and filled out all the paperwork. 45 minutes later and no doctor to be seen. There were, however, lots of nursing staff standing around talking about Claire's Boutique visits they had at the mall on their lunch breaks. I asked the receptionist where the doctor was and she said he had to go downstairs. Hmmm. OK, well it would have been nice if you could have told me and the three other people who were waiting. I asked the girl to refund my copay and destroy my information. Over a week later and no refund of my copay and GUESS WHAT? They billed my insurance for services I never received! Yep, insurance fraud at it's finest! STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. read more

This doctor only cares about how he can charge your insurance. One of my biggest regrets in my life is ever going to him. If you are a woman with kidney or bladder problems he is the worse choice you can make to visit. read more

Few negative comments that people left in reviews regarding wait time is that they don't understand what kind of caring person Dr. David is. He takes his time to answer all questions you may have and help address them accordingly, rather then rushing thru, as many doctors do this days. Dr. David is the most genuine, caring, honest, friendly doctor you could ever meet and most importantly is a great human being. I have been a patient of Dr. David for more then 25 years and I trust him with my life. His wealth of knowledge in medicine is amazing and yes I will wait for Dr. David 5 hours if I have to, I know at the end I'm getting the best care possible. I'm just surprised on some peoples ugly comments, knowing how untrue they are. DR DAVID WILL ALWAYS BE MY CHOICE AND I WILL NOT HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY. read more

I have seen both Dr. David and Adam Margol PA. They are amazing!Joey at the desk is professional and kind. Most recently went in for a kidney stone. I was seen immediately and diagnosed quickly. On occasion I have had to wait for an appointment, but seeing how fast they saw me in an emergency explains why. read more

Dr David is a truly renaissance doctor. He knows so much about so many ailments. An expert diagnostician, he gets to the root of every ailment. I would definitely recommend him. read more

I called first thing Monday AM. as Dr. Safran suggested since i had an emergency situation over the weekend and he couldn't help. When the nurse answered the phone first thing in the morning, she didn't care. She said, she can fit me in 10 days from now. That's not cool. I went somewhere else. read more

Wish I had read the negative reviews before I went to Dr. David. Under his treatment I wound up with a life threatening health problem. Run, do not walk away, run. read more

I saw this doctor as a result of blood in my urine - WHAT A MISTAKE. After waiting for over an hour all the doctor wanted to know about was my sexual activity. As he was not a preferred provider under my insurance it was agreed that my internist would run and an all tests. I then get a bill for $2,000 for tests that I never authorized. I will not be paying this bill. Then on a follow up visit after a wait of 90 minutes I walked out. I have now found a doctor that is more knowledgeable, caring and on time!!!! read more

I feel fortunate to have found Dr. Richard David to care for my mentally-challenged brother's urinary tract issues. After leaving the "care" of a negligent urologist, Dr. David was a breath of fresh air. He treats my brother with respect, addresses him directly and quickly diagnosed a kidney stone and a urinary tract infection our previous urologist missed. read more

Dr. David was hands down much better than the last 2 Dr's i saw. great bedside manner, very efficient, and gave me the procedure i needed. which was not even mentioned to me from the last 2 Dr.'s .this has changed my life. I would highly recommend this Dr. and staff. read more

Went to Dr. David after a horrendous experience at Tower Urology. Although, yes, there was a wait (When was the last time you didn't wait at a doctor?), I found him to be a personable, caring, experienced and knowledgeable physician. He spent as much time as was necessary to fully evaluate and address my symptoms. I would recommend him wholeheartedly. read more

Dr. David is by far one of the best Urologists in LA. He has an amazing bedside manner and treats his patients like one of his family. I would highly recommend him. read more

Showed up on time for my appointment and waited for close to an hour until the guy next to me went up to the front desk to ask how much longer he would have to wait. Front desk told him that the doctor was running behind because of an emergency earlier in the day. That's fine, but it would have been nice to hear about that when checking in - so that I could have the option of waiting or rescheduling. When I then proceeded to ask for an update, I was told that it would still be another 20 minutes before I would be called back to the exam room (where I would wait some more). Dr. Richard was asked within line of sight for an update by the front desk on how long the delays would be and his body language really made it look like he could care less about the inconvenience to the lobby full of waiting patients. I decided to leave and find a different Urologist in the area that will value my business. This is not a review about the quality of his care, because I wouldn't know. My advice would be to ask how far behind schedule he is when checking in. read more
