Dr. Rita is so knowledgeable and is a wonderful pediatrician. The office is always clean and the check in process is efficient and easy. We love coming here as a family. As both being healthcare workers, our standards are very high and Dr. Rita's office consistently surpasses them. read more

Great doctor. Referred by our friends and she is pretty amazing - great bedside manner, truly loves babies, and articulately answers questions parents have with information and thoroughness. We love her passion for work and babies. Calls with questions are answered in a day or two. Please don't hesitate to call again and follow up if you are needing sooner attention for your little one. The front desk staff - some of the younger ones are friendly, and attentive. We have also encountered others who have a sour attitude - they seem unhappy to work and are snappy with people. I would love the professionality of the front desk to match the doctor's and nurses who sincerely attend to and represent care for the patients. That would be my only feedback. Apart from that, truly a great place. Plenty of parking available in the lot. This is a great area. read more

Doutora Tenenbaum cuidou de meu filho desde que nasceu até ter 4 anos. Ela é incrível, muito capacitada, humana, amorosa. Passei por uma disputa de tutela do meu menino qdo ele tinha 2 anos, ela prontamente escreveu ao juiz a forma como eu regularmente o levava ao consultório para seus check-up, vacinação em dia, enfim, detalhes no relatório que fez ao juiz, mostrou todo seu cuidado e interesse de que meu filho continuasse sob meus cuidados devido a forma como eu o cuidava. Me surpreendeu imensamente seu carinho e dedicação em mostrar o qto queria o bem para meu filho. Acima de ser uma excelente profissional, ela é um ser humano de valor. Muito obrigado doutora. Hoje meu filho tem 24 anos, o tempo passa muito rápido. Estou morando no Brasil. read more

Love this doctor. I'm a first time mom and Dr. Tenenbaum is awesome. I feel like she truly cares about my child. She listens to my concerns intently, reassured me of what's "normal" and respects my choices as a parent. read more

Dr. Tenenbaum and her staff are absolutely amazing!! She always takes her time during our appointments and makes sure to address all our concerns. In addition to being nurturing and thorough in our appointments she's up-to-date on the latest medical research findings. I would expect all doctors to be up-to-date on the latest, but she called out a study that was published not even a month ago that was similar to my son's eczema issues, which impressed my husband. We are very lucky to have her as our son's pediatrician and appreciate her insights. read more

Unfortunately, I never had the chance to meet Dr. Tenenbaum due to the front office. I've heard wonderful things about her. Before deciding to switch my son's doctor, I scheduled a consult with Dr. Tenenbaum. I informed the front office I would be paying cash PRIOR to the visit. The day before our appointment, I received a call from the office manager informing me I had to switch the name of my son's doctor on the policy otherwise they would not see me. I explained to her I was already informed paying out of pocked would be ok. She didn't care- and was frankly trying to bully me into changing my son's insurance policy to show Dr. Tenenbaum's name without even having a chance to even meet the doctor. I ended up canceling my appointment and would advise other's to look elsewhere. read more

As a first time mom, finding the perfect pediatrician was essential. After doing my research, I selected Dr. Tenenbaum and I am so happy I did. She always has me smiling from ear to ear when she interacts with my baby. (Excellent bedside manner) She is also very knowledgeable and explains the science behind things so that you have a more complete picture of the situation. I never feel like she is rushed and encourages lots of questions. Also all the tips and tricks that she gives new parents is amazing. (Positions to soothe a fussy baby, explanations behind why she recommends certain brands of vitamins or medicine) I am always looking forward to see her, she is definitely passionate about her profession) Her office is also just the most adorable and spacious place with an easy parking garage that has plenty of parking. read more

Rita Tenenbaum, MD - Pediatricians Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

I felt compelled to share my experience with Dr. Tenenbaum and her staff. We have been with her for almost 13 yrs, the first time in 2008 when my under 4 lb. baby had her first appointment. Dr. T has been nothing short of amazing. She and her staff are top notch. She is so very smart and wise and caring, and those 3 things do not often come together. Just a huge thank you for her time and commitment to her practice - we trust her implicitly and are forever grateful. read more

Best doctor ever. She takes her time to see my baby, and always explain to us what's going on. Only one time I had to call after hours and she was amazing call right away and follow up the next day... I'm so happy with her. read more

Three kids in and I cannot recommend Dr Tenenbaum enough. She is smart, kind, thorough and funny. My kids love her and her staff....especially the lollipops! Her nurse Genna is the BEST! I never feel rushed when I'm at an appointment. Things are explained clearly and succinctly. Dr Tenenbaum and Genna really take the time to know the kids and connect with them, which is important to me. We are so fortunate to have her care for our kids. My daughter brought her baby dolls with her (and stroller and carrier!) for several appointments and both Dr T and Genna "examined" the baby doll as a way to connect with my daughter. This was especially important since I had just had our youngest and helped my daughter feel valued. read more

Dr Rita Tenonbaum has taken care of our son since birth, he is now 18 yrs. words cannot describe the admiration we have for her as our sons Pediatrician. I personally have not seen her level of care, medical knowledge, intelligence ,professionalism and class in decades. We now have a beautiful healthy young man as a tribute to her skills. I would trust Rita unconditionally. There is no better. read more

We love Dr. Tenembaum and staff! There is hardly ever a wait to be seen. Whenever our daughter is sick we are seen that day or the next day, either way the doctor calls back right away. Dr Tenembaum is probably one of the smartest people I have ever met, and the only person I want/trust to treat my child. read more

I have one child who is healthy and does not require a lot. We have been seeing Dr.Tenenbaum since 2007, and she has been our child's only doctor. Other than a broken arm, where I was able to take my child directly to her from the school (no emergency room), our only meetings have been for well check ups and vaccinations. In our meetings she and her staff are friendly and professional, and I am happy to have her in our lives. read more

We are new patients of dr tanenbaum and are impressed. My girls are 10 and 13 and dr tanenbaum gave them lots of time in each of the appointments. We never feel rushed out and the waiting time hasn't been too long. I find her knowledgeable and compassionate. She seems to really care about her patients. The rooms are clean and the staff is nice. We are very happy with the quality of care. read more

We have been going to Dr. Tenenbaum for over a year. I absolutely love her, she is caring with my kids and so educated on all the issues that come up as my kids grow. She also does a delayed vaccine schedule for my kids which I love since it allows my kids to get their vaccines without their little bodies being overwhelmed. I also love that she has same day appointments for emergencies so I can avoid the ER. I definitely recommend her to any families looking for a doctor that actually cares and understands our concerns! read more

Dr Tenenbaum is an amazing pediatrician! Everyone in the office goes above and beyond to make sure your needs are met. We feel super lucky that we found Dr Tenenbaum. I would totally recommend her. read more

Without a doubt the best in Orange County and Los Angeles county. We travel 45mins+ to see her. We had to change insurance to Kaiser and can't find a Pediatrician to compare. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. MAs are the best and have the best techniques for administering shots/vaccines. Rita gets the kids involved in the checkup and doesn't talk to the parents as ignorants. We are all too excited for the day we can have Dr T again. read more

Not sure I can truly articulate just how amazing of a pediatrician Dr. Tenenbaum is! She truly is the best and you should be rest assured that your kids are truly under the watch of an angel. Dr. Tenenbaums perspective, knowledge, and approach to medicine is superb. She is the perfect blend of Western and Eastern medicine... specifically, she doesn't prescribe antibiotics unless necessary and has a very hollistic and wholesome approach to child development and medicine. She's an excellent diagnostician and her knowledge base is nothing short of a walking encyclopedia. I'm incredibly picky regarding all things for my beautiful babies and Dr. Tenenbaum is nothing short of excellent!! We absolutely love her and highly highly recommend! By far the best! Rachel, Ellie, and Sam are incredibly lucky to be her patients!! Now if only we can find a grown up primary even half of her greatness, we'd be golden. Thank you Dr. Tenenbaum for being amazing!! read more

We had an annual check up appointment scheduled for 4:00 pm for our son and arrived early today. We asked if they could accommodate an early arrival. They said they would try. We waited and around 4:00 pm the front desk ushered us into to the exam room. A female tattoos weighed and took our son's blood pressure. Around 4:30 I asked how much longer the wait would be to see the doctor. The girl attendant appeared surprised I would dare ask her. That sort of set me off. So around 4:36 my wife and I decided we would leave. My wife told the attendant we would reschedule and the female attendant said "sure that's fine." I retorted.... NO we will find another doctor. She replied "your appointment was at 4:00." I replied "What time is it?" She replied "4:36." I replied "this is totally unprofessional, I have practiced law over 15 years and I have never made a client wait this long." I will never take my kids here again and I would never recommend anyone deal with such a nonchalant and arrogant staff. read more

Hands down, there is no better pediatrician in Los Angeles. My daughter is almost 18 now and has been a patient of Dr Tenebaums' since she was 2. I am going to miss our family pediatrician! This Dr is extremely knowledgeable, she takes the time to explain and discuss everything, she is very calming and reassuring - she has even comforted me when I was a nervous, sleep-deprived new mom and helped my daughter emotionally get through my own breast cancer treatments. This Dr is always aware of the latest medical advancements, she is so smart, yet so down to earth and has a great sense of humor. From toddlerhood all the way through to young adulthood, Dr T has never let us down. From well-checks to hospitalizations to calling me at home to see how we were, she has been there for us. I even choose a more expensive Insurance Plan so that we can go to this doctor - she's that good and that important to our family. Dr T loves to say that "bacteria are deathly afraid of soap and water" to remind kids to wash their hands - my kids and I say that all the time now too. Please look no further for a pediatrician for your child, you have found the best. read more

First let me say this. Dr. Tenenbaum is the most amazing pediatrician ever! Not only did she help us out 13 years ago when another pediatrician misdiagnosed my son, she was very sting a d comforting and from that moment on absolutely love her. Moved away for six years and when I moved back, it wasn't a problem returning as a patient. On our first visit back, Dr. Tenenbaum remembered my son and that was awesome. It's comforting to know that as many children she sees, she remembers so much about each one. It's because of Dr. Tenenbaum, my son's asthma is better controlled. His eczema is practically cleared and overall in better health. Dr. Tenenbaum takes her time with patients and I love how she right away takes to the kids. She always ask, what wrong today? Or why did you have to come in? I like that. It makes the kids feel important and they tell their story. The office staff is amazing beyond words. A pleasure to deal with and always so nice. I would recommend Dr. Tenenbaum and her office to any new patents expecting their first or fourth babies. She will go above and beyond. And when my son was hospitalized for a few days a few years ago, she made sure to see him and make sure he was well taken care while in the hospital. read more

My daughter actually makes up reasons to come to this office. We always receive optimal care here. Dr. T is very compassionate and patient. read more

We switched to dr t from dr Lauren in childrens medical group. We like her SO much better. She takes a lot of time at each visit and is so caring and thoughtful. She is careful explaining things and has a wealth of knowledge (cites new research regularly). She gives more info than a typical well visit (I know bc I had several of them with dr Lauren). For ex, she talked to us about the difference in brain development in girls and boys and gave us suggestions about types of toys to get for our son that would encourage proper brain growth. She spent 25 minutes with us in our 1 year well visit. She observes the child in addition to listening to what you have to say. I really like her. Plus-the new office in hermosa is state of the art and the rest of the staff have been very kind and helpful. They have "sick" and "well" exam rooms. read more

I agree with the other reviewers, Dr Tenenbaum is the BEST Pediatrician!. She is very caring with our daughter and takes the time to answer any questions you may have. She considers what's best for the child, rather than what's convenient. Her staff is also very friendly and gentle with the babies. read more

Dr Tenenbaum is the BEST Pediatrician! She has taken care of our 3 kids(& me) for over 15 years. Her staff, Angie (aka Angelique) goes above and beyond helping with all our needs as well. You won't find a better more compassionate, honest, and educated Doctor around. We love love love Dr T, staff and her wonderful family. read more

Our kids have been going to Dr. Tenenbaum for more than 3 years now. She is a fantastic doctor. She is always up-to-date with the latest pediatric medical research. She recommends natural remedies whenever reasonable and never over-prescribes. Besides her obvious intelligence and knowledge base, she has that extra talent that only some doctors have. It can't exactly be quantified but she just has an ability to diagnose before she has even done the test to confirm. For example, she has diagnosed an ear infection before even looking; and she could tell us our baby was going to burp seconds before baby burped. We joke that she may have some kind of magic abilities. Her staff and billing department are also extremely helpful and wait times are not too long. read more
