My wife and I are nervous first time parents of a 2 month old girl. We need someone really gentle who has a professional staff.

My husband & I love our pediatrician. He is one of 3 where we take our 6 mth old daughter to. All of the doctors there are awesome but I believe he is the only one accepting patients right now. They are on Ventura Blvd at Rubio. Their info: Dr. Jeremy Shapiro, Boulevard Pediatrics, 16550 Ventura Blvd. Ste. 414, ###-###-####. Their office is clean, the staff is friendly & efficient, and one of the best things (in our opinion) is that they will always put an infant in a room away from the sick older kids!!! Also, we never wait more than 10 minutes to see the Dr and from what I understand this is really fast for most of the Dr.s in the area. They return all phone calls or emails the day you call (write) them. I could go on & on but they do "open houses" or if you shoot him a phone call you can do an interview over the phone. If you have any other questions feel free to write me & I'd love to give you some insight.

That's exactly who I was going to refer. Dr. Zimble and the staff are the best. They are right on Balboa, very near the 101 Balboa exit. ###-###-####. Dr. Zimble is our doctor, but when she wasn't there one day, one of the other doctors saw our son and we like him alot. Dr. Zimble is from New York, and is a little...abrupt. Dr. Howie is great!

Hope that helps.

Dr. Nancy Zimble and Dr. Howard Reinstein - Encino Medical Plaza at 5400 Balboa Blvd # 103 - Encino, CA 91316 - ###-###-####

I've met Dr. Nancy and she's fabulous and I hear Dr. Howie is great too - he does tricks. The office is very nice, comfortable and they have a lot of fun things in the waiting room. The office staff is wonderful also.

Best wishes

P.,

I absolutely love my pediatrician's office. I got a referral from a friend who used to live in the Valley and has now moved to Culver City. She still makes the trek over the hill to come to them.

The practice is called Valley Pediatric Medical Group. They are located at 5353 Balboa Blvd, Suite 104, Encino. The number ###-###-####. My daughter has seen Dr. Lynn Osher (she is pregnant and due at the end of Sept.) and Dr. Marshall Goldberg (has been in practice for 40 years) Both are INCREDIBLE! I have called the office twice and have received phone calls back within a few hours (not urgent issues) There is also a pediatric urgent care unit on the second floor with after hour and weekend hours!

I mentioned to a freind who my daughters pediatrician was and she got tears in her eyes- Dr. Goldberg was her doctor as a child and was so sentimental about him!

Good luck!
K.
