I now understand why she is one of the few pediatricians accepting new patients. Can't wait to get back to Torrance Memorial where their pediatricians are OUTSTANDING. Best thing about a PPO -- firing her!

When I was expecting my first child, we met with Dr. Becker about a month out (one of the only…read morepediatricians who do this!) and she took the time to talk with me and answer any questions. She wanted to make sure we were a good fit, and I truly appreciate that. You can tell she is not trying to just get as many patients as possible and make money. She wants to have a healthy, trusting relationship with the parents and their children. She will not work with everyone, but I find that to be a good thing. She wants to be comfortable with the relationship between doctor and patient, and she wants you to feel the same! After deciding on her on as our pediatrician, Dr. Becker came to the hospital the day after our daughter was born (again, one of the only peds who do this!). To make a sad and long story short, our daughter ended up passing away two weeks after birth. Dr. Becker and her staff sent a card and flowers. It was very touching. When my son was close to being born a year later, we again decided to go with Dr. Becker for our peds. When I called her office, I was shocked and a bit emotional when they remembered me! And my daughter. Anyone who can relate to this type of loss understands what a big deal this is. Dr. Becker again came to the hospital the day after my son was born--this is her common practice, not special treatment! She helped me so much that first year of being a "new mom"--answering questions in person or by phone, always in a very timely manner. I have gotten a same-day response from their office every time. My son had a severe milk and soy allergy, and Dr. Becker helped us team up with an amazing pediatric gastroenterologist. Together they helped us tremendously. I now have my third child, and I confidently went through the process yet again with Dr. Becker. With Covid and everything else going on, I can't tell you enough how important it is to have a pediatrician you trust. With Dr. Becker I have peace of mind. To round out this review, I'd like to mention that the staff is excellent! They are knowledgeable, friendly, on time and organized! And best of all, you can tell they love children, and don't get tired of seeing them! I hope we never have to move because I never want to find another pediatrician.

One aspect I truly appreciate is her commitment to follow-up, demonstrating her deep concern for her patients' well-being. My three-year-old looks forward to visiting Dr. Shoji's office because she feels very comfortable there and loves the fact that Dr. Shoji always offer a small gift or treat at the end of the visit. Dr. Shoji takes the time to listen to our concerns and offers many suggestions. Additionally, she maintains direct communication, not just through her front desk (by the way, the sweet lady in the front is a gem, too!) If you are looking for a caring pediatrician, I highly recommend Dr. Shoji, especially if you reside in PV.

Dr. Flores (aka, Dr. Jim) is a fantastic doctor and one of the most naturally kid friendly…read morepediatricians we have ever met! We were looking for someone who was close to us, thorough and detail oriented, knowledgeable and experienced, and possessing a kind and engaging bedside manner. Dr. Jim is all of those things! He takes plenty of time to listen to and address all of our concerns and then asks us important questions about possibilities we had never even considered. We really appreciate that we are talking to an obvious expert who is actively drawing upon his years of experience to help us. He has a quick memory for detail and patient history like you would not believe, which makes us feel like we are always getting exactly the advice and specific care we need for our little one as an individual. Also, I saw a couple of the other reviewers had trouble with his office several years ago. We have only had the best experiences with the office staff. They all seem to be a lot like Dr. Jim - kind, caring, thorough, and detail oriented.

As a FTM, I looked for a pediatrician that took my insurance for my baby's first wellness visit…read morebefore he gets his ow insurance. I met with Dr. Berman to provide care for my son. I was nervous at first but he definitely made me feel comfortable and seen. As a FTM and choosing to breastfeed, but being an under suppler; he gave suggestions to help boost my supply. Because my baby was underweight, he suggested combo feeding adding formula while I boost my supply to make sure my baby is eating enough. Honestly I was very insecure about being an under suppler and I felt like I was an inadequate mother because I couldn't provide for my baby. But he reassured me and understood how I was feeling and made me feel seen. As someone going through postpartum, he made me feel better about something out of my control. On top of that, he was a wonderful pediatrician to my son. He gave me an ample amount of formula samples and even a diaper bag to help me. He made me feel comfortable about combo feeding while breastfeeding and choosing whether to continue whichever method of feeding for my child. As long as my baby is being fed is the most important thing. Unfortunately the new insurance I got for my son does not cover this office or Dr. Berman, I would've love to have kept him. But I really cannot recommend him enough.

An easy way is to use the top floor (P4) parking area, and then take the elevator down to the required floor. Mom needed to some imaging done for bone density, so went for an early morning appointment. Because the mall wasn't fully open, finding close parking was easy. Check-in needs to be done at the floor of the procedure, so after some up and down, found the place. The appointment started right on time, and was completed quickly...not much of a wait.

This practice has big pros and cons in my opinion. Pros:…read moreeasily accessible from rooftop parking of promenade mall, high quality physicians, very clean facilities and easy to schedule appointments via phone or app. Cons: the practice is impersonal and has the feel of a large UCLA location rather than a local, Palos Verdes medical practice, staff turnover seems high as I don't see many of the same faces frequently, impersonal staff interactions, difficult to reach staff for follow up action items, their electronic health record (EPIC) is not always viewable by the primary local hospital system of Torrance Memorial (who uses Cerner). This can be challenging if you're receiving care from both hospital systems. Overall- if you're comfortable with all these aspects of care, the caliber of medical care rendered here is very good.

Dr. Saad had great reviews and many years of experience and when we saw how well she was able to work with our child who had an ear infection we knew we would be seeing her for the foreseeable future. The office is very clean and they even have different entrances for sick patients vs. Not. The staff is super friendly and our son quickly made friends with everyone there! There is plenty of parking, but the only problem is that it can take about 15-20 minutes to get to the correct third floor entrance from the parking lot on a quiet day. We would recommend arriving to the parking structure at least 30 minutes just to be on the safe side. Overall we were very satisfied with the care and service of PVMG!

First I paid $120 which is a little steep but I knew my daughter was going to be in great hands. My daughter and I were placed in a room and one of the nurse gave me a placard of all of the earrings that I could pick for my daughter. I picked the smaller gold earring for April's birthstone. The doctor came in and explained everything to me. She gave me an ear cleaning solution to use on my daughter at home and she showed me the earrings and then I realized they were too small. I asked the doctor if I could get the bigger size and she got them. I really appreciate that. The doctor cleaned my daughter's ears 3 times on each side and used a marker to mark where the earrings would go. I was happy with the placement and the doctor even asked if I was comfortable holding my daughter and I was. The doctor pierced the 1 ear and my daughter started crying and then switched to the other side and pierced the other side. My daughter was crying for quite some time and she was very angry at me on the ride home. Almost a week later her ears and piercing looks great. I am thankful for the staff here for doing such a great job on my daughter's ears. I would definitely come here again for my future daughter's ears. Thank you Dr. Liu and staff.
