Need to Find a Pediatrician- Somewhere near Hermosa/Manhattan/Redondo/PVE

I love Dr. Elliot Sumi in Torrance. I do not know the address offhand but you can google his name and it will come up. I was not happy with my old pediatrician Dr. Rowe and just recently changed after a year and a half with Dr. Rowe. Dr. Sumi's patients are mainly Japanese which I am not, but he is great! Very friendly with my 2 year old daughter. Rowe was more cold and businesslike. I have never waited longer than 20 minutes. If my child is sick she gets in the same day. Good luck!

He is affiliated with Little Company of Mary I believe

Dr. Elaine Gutierrez in Torrance is great.
She's affiliated with both Torrance Memorial and Little Company.
Besides being very knowledgable about current practices in medicine, her other big thing is being respectful of her patient's time.

If your child is sick she gets you in the same day.
Well visits are 10 minute waits at most.
Her practice has 2 doctors.
We love her... she treats the parents and child as one unit (if that makes sense) and is very humanistic in her approach.

Good Luck!

Lots of Love,
Linda

Welcome (back) to California. We also see Dr. Joanna Wong ###-###-####). However, I believe she may not be accepting new patients. If you decide on her practice (she is co-heads of Manhattan Beach Kids' Docs with Dr. Lettie Burgett -- also great), and you can't get either Dr. Wong or Dr. Burgett, I have a brief suggestion (please feel free to PM me).

We love our pediatrician in Hermosa Beach.

Dr. Galfouri with UCLA Medical. She is affiliated with UCLA hospital I'm Santa Monica.
We have always had very short wait times with our son on his well visits.
And we have never had a problem getting him in quickly when sick.
She is very caring and takes time with us each visit to be sure all our
questions are answered. I have never left feeling rushed, or frustrated
by a long wait and not getting adequate attention.

I love Dr. Patricia Rowe. She is at 3440 Lomita Blvd. #136, Torrance, CA ###-###-####. I know she is affiliated with Torrance Memorial. She is very patient and sweet with my children. Takes her time with each one and always asks about the one who is not with me. Waiting time is reasonable - 15-20 minutes no more than that. I have called the office early in the morning to schedule an appointment for a sick child and have always been able to get in within hours. Welcome to Southern California!

Dr. Joanna Wong
Manhattan Beach Kids Doc
Torrance Hospital
She is absolutely wonderful with children and a knowledgeable practitioner. Love the office staff as well.

I usually wait not more then 5 or 10 minutes. There have been a couple of times during cold/flu season where we are getting squeezed in and have waited longer.

They always find someone for us to see same day for sick appt, but it may be another doctor in the practice.
There are four doctor's in the practice.

Dr. Galfouri with UCLA Medical is the best!!!!
I second what the other person said about her.
Also Dr Vinzon is great and they just added a third Dr

Welcome to the southbay...We moved here about a year ago from Houston.

Vivian Liu in the Manhattan Beach Mall area. She's the bset. Her partner is Keith Bayan, also very gentle & great. Love their practice.

I believe they are affiliated with Torrance Memorial & Little Company of Mary Hospital. They are both really sharp & really sweet. Wait time is very minimal for either visit. I always get appt when I need (same day or future date) and there are only 2 Drs in practice.
