Doesn't respect different perspectives and talks at you. Equally as unkind as the front desk staff

I can not say enough how grateful I am to have Dr. Liu since my daughters birth! I am beyond…read moreindebted to her, her staff and her partner. They have provided this first time mom more comfort knowing we are in reliable good hands. They have not only been extra attentive to this inexperienced first time mom but have given extra valuable advice to raise a healthy, good eater and happy baby. It is invaluable to know you are able to reach Dr. Liu off hours and to receive immediate responses to emails. Dr. Davari is also amazing!! Thank you for being you, for being thorough, for being considerate to your current clients, making sure we are seen at the appointment time, allowing us to do walk-ins and truly caring for our daughter's well being. Thank you for accepting us as a client and being considerate by not overbooking new patients. Your time with us thus far is invaluable! We have taken away so much in the past 23 mos that we would not have if we chose another Doctor. I can only say good things. If you can get in to this office, you are extra lucky!

Big fan of both Dr. Liu and also Dr. Davari. My only comment is that the doctors tend to be so…read morethorough that we are often waiting quite some time either before our appointment or during the room waiting for the doctor. Dr. Liu is our primary doctor but we have seen Dr. Davari for last minute visits due to unexpected illness. Dr. Liu has always been very thorough and conservative in care. She would rather be safe than sorry. After each birth she makes it a point to check in with me as the mom and offer advice and always takes time to answer ask our questions. Dr. Davari has always been very comforting and reassuring each time I have spoken with him on the phone and also when we saw him in person. I feel good knowing that I trust with doctor with the care of my children. I am also very grateful for their after hours answering service. For emergencies they can take messages and forwardd them to the doctor that is on call. This is such a reassuring service!

First visit was yesterday and had a not-so-great first impression. Yet another review to vent about…read morethe front desk staff, specifically Erica. Why does she work in customer service but lacks any type of customer service skills? She is unknowledgeable, dismissive, and rude. My daughter is under two separate insurance plans and I asked to make mine her primary and her dad's secondary, just like how it was at her previous pediatrician's office. She said she couldn't do that because the primary HAS to be my husband's due to his birthday being before mine. I told her that's how it was before and she very confidently said "well you're going to have issues then".. I was with them for 2 years and had no problems, but ok. She shooed me away with a phone number to call, which I did- the UCLA billing department made the switch at the click of a button. I was wanting to establish care with this pediatric office for my daughter, but am reconsidering based on my experience with her. I do need to rave about nurse Natalia- she was so amazing. She is so kind and warm and wonderful. Extremely helpful and seemed to truly enjoy a customer-facing job and interacting with others. I hope if management reads this, they do something with Erica (ummm get rid of her?), and give some type of recognition to Natalia who is a true diamond in the rough that is UCLA Pediatrics.

Do NOT go here, they will over charge you with all kinds of hidden cost. I took my son in for a…read moresinus infection and ended up with a bill more than $1000 dollars after insurance. During the visit the doctor asked if it is okay to check his ear for infection, naturally I said yes. They had to remove a little ear wax to see the inside. A week later i got a bill for $129 to remove ear wax. That is utterly ridiculous. I would have removed it myself if they told me that ahead of time. I've been coming to this office for a couple of years now and it is getting worse. There is no price transparency and many surprises on additional charging. i will not be returning to this office.

I am so happy I found Dr. Miller to treat my baby girl! I honestly wish I had been in her network…read moreas soon as she was born.We started seeing her when our girl was only 9 months for her well check-ups, and instantly I felt like we were in better hands. To start, the front office staff is so friendly, and kind. It's as if they like being around children (which weirdly, was not the case at my previous pediatrician's office)! The waiting room is also very roomy, well-lit, and all the times I've been there, never overbooked. I've had to go in pretty frequently since my little girl keeps getting longer but not wider, but every time I've gone, it hasn't felt unnecessary or unwarranted. Dr. Miller and her staff genuinely care if your kid is doing well! She takes time to answer any and all nagging questions, patiently and thoroughly. Finally, and perhaps most important to the new moms out there (especially in a big city like Los Angeles), Dr. Miller & her staff, will actually call you back to answer any worrying questions about symptoms! It's a big deal to me, because more often than not, most doctors in this area either don't respond to messages/voicemail, or will just have you come in, take your co-pay, and then say, well, the illness just needs to run its course (something that could have simply been said on the phone). On the flip-side, if you're genuinely worried, Dr. Miller's office will happily try to arrange a same-day appointment. Really can't recommend her and her office enough. They're amazing.

She's amazing! Caring, attentive, listens to your concerns. I followed her when she left the…read morepractice where we were at. Love her!

I don't usually leave reviews, but I wanted to throw my two cents in after reading some reviews…read morewith lower star ratings: My wife and I have been at Manhattan Beach Kids Docs since 2005. Our first child was a really bad refluxer and screamed her head off almost nightly. As first-time parent this was terrifying! Dr. Burgett took many of our phone calls at all hours of the night and helped us through this tough time. Dr. Burgett often would call to just check in to see how we were doing and that meant the world to us to know that someone was thinking about our daughter. Aside from the medical treatment, Dr. Burgett provided our family with invaluable advice that went above and beyond her responsibilities as our primary care physician. Dr. Burgett genuinely cares about each of her patients, has a way with kids and makes it very clear what your responsibilities are as a parent. Because of her advice and care, my wife and I gained the confidence to become good parents. Today, we have four children, all of whom are patients of Dr. Burgett. We attribute this "courage" to the fact that we always knew we were in good hands. Recently, our family was contemplating moving out of state. The first thought that came to mind is that we would have to change doctors... never mind that we would be moving away from friends and family! If you are a parent, you know your kids come first, and that's why we love this practice. Lastly, the front office doesn't ever get much credit, especially here on Yelp. I can say from 9 years and 50+ office visits worth of experience that the front office staff is amazing. As stated by other users, they are always polite and never rude. As far as comments of them not being overly friendly, you have to remember that communication is a two-way street. My wife and I have taken the time to learn the front office staff members' names, as they did ours. We greet them by name, both on the phone and in person, and we think of them as family. They've all seen and/or held each of our kids from birth to now and we couldn't imagine going anywhere else. In closing, if you are looking for a Pediatrician who will exceed your expectations in every way possible, go to MBKD. Although Dr. Burgett is our doctor, we have seen all the doctors at the office. In fact, my wife and I both saw Dr. Wong and Dr. Burgett as kids ourselves early in their medical careers. So if 9 years and four kids isn't proof enough that we trust in this practice, add 2 more kids and 22 years (combined) to that mix.

Dr. Susy Yusung is EVERYTHING!!! We have been seeing her since 12/2019 and with a very active…read moretoddler, we seem to be seeing her frequently. She is the most caring, compassionate, calming and attentive pediatrician. It feels like we've known her forever because she is so personable and welcoming. I highly recommend her to everyone. She has nailed every ailment we've come to her with whether it was a video, phone or in person visit. We are so thankful we found her!

As first time parents, you don't always know what you're looking for in a pediatrician, and…read moretruthfully, we chose this office because it was right next door to my OBGYN's office and 5 minutes from our home. We also went with Dr. Brucker since we have a baby boy (but we've seen Dr. Miller at TMMC after my delivery and once in clinic when Dr. Brucker was unavailable, and she's just as great!). We couldn't have gotten luckier with Dr. Brucker! He is so thorough, takes the time with each family (we never feel rushed through our appt), has great bedside manner, and meets the parents where they're at and what their values are. He works so naturally with our baby and we are so grateful to know our baby is in the most competent hands. I wish there was a Dr. Brucker for adults - I'd have him as my PCP in a heartbeat! Julissa, the MA, is always professional, organized, and warm with our baby. We can't say enough about the amazing care we get at this office!

Dr. Brucker is kind, thorough, patient, extremely skilled and well-read, has an immense knowledge…read morebase, has excellent clinical decision-making skills and judgment, and is so respectful towards children. He is what you wish every pediatrician were. He treats kids with so much compassion, and is even kind to stressed out moms with 400 questions. I'm a physician as well, and I am consistently humbled by his expertise each time we visit him. I have 2 girls who went through a really rough few years with Covid & POTS. They also have anxiety & ADHD. The older one also came out as trans. These are not straightforward healthy kids who go to see Dr. Brucker for just well-child checkups. Talk about the golden trifecta: physical, mental, and gender identity health issues. We were in the UCLA system for the longest time, which was excellent too, but transitioned to Dr. Brucker when our health insurance changed. He's been caring for my girls for about 2 or 3 yrs now. He has surpassed every other amazing pediatrician that has taken care of them. His attention to detail and keen vigilance are unmatched. He's probably the smartest doc they've had. And both girls are now thriving because of him. They are always sick duh, but this is the best their physical & mental health has been and their ability to function within their limitations has been. Thank you Dr. Brucker :)
