We love Dr. BK! We have felt completely at ease, informed, and happy with our daughter's care since the first 24 hours she was born. We couldn't ask for a more knowledgeable and kind dr than Dr. BK. We have also been very happy with Dr. Zak who we've seen at the office too. Westside Pediatrics is 100% worth every penny for the absolute best care for our baby girl. read more

See all

Dr BK is the number one and only reason why we don't want to move out of West LA. I'm a first time mom that falls prey to over worrying and researching; however, I like doctors that can cut through all of that and provide opinionated guidance without being dismissive (or entertaining too much of it!). Her family is well established in LA -- several of which are pediatricians as well -- only increasing her abilities as your child's doctor. read more

Dr. Bruckner is truly THE BEST! I'm not surprised to see that she has a nearly perfect 5 star rating. She has been our 2 sons pediatrician for about 3 years and we couldn't be happier with her service. She is an incredibly knowledgeable doctor, who is also kind and fun. I only wish I could be her patient too! read more

We have been fortunate enough to have Dr. Emily as our pediatrician for the past 4+ years. Her background and medical experience at UCLA and CHLA are top notch. I also love that the office has separate entrances for well vs sick patients. Plenty of parking too which can be tough on the westside. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars! read more

We absolutely LOVE our doctor, but always cringe a little when we have to call the front desk. Maybe its just a medical office thing, but the rudeness we've experienced is pretty unacceptable. Again, the doctors are wonderful, and thats what matters. Its just difficult because we are calling in and feeling vulnerable, calling about medical issues about our child, and have been treated rudely each of the few times we've called in. Hopefully this improves! read more

Dr Bruckner was our Dr for our first born son and was amazing. So sad we moved out of state!

An amazing pediatrician! I can't say enough about Dr. Bruckner. From her bedside manner to her knowledge and approachability, she truly is second to none. Our daughter (now 9 months) has been seeing Dr. Bruckner since day 1 in the hospital and absolutely loves her. Dr. Bruckner's office is beautiful and her staff phenomenal. Dr. Bruckner has made us first time parents feel heard and comforted. She listens to all our ridiculous questions and concerns without us feeling like they are just that. She returns calls and emails quickly and is extremely honest regarding the care and direction of our daughter. I don't know what we would do without her in our corner caring for our baby. I highly recommend her to anyone! read more

We've been with Dr Bruckner since my daughter was 6 month old and now 2.5. Dr Bruckner is professional, dedicated, efficient and caring. She let us know what's to worry and what's not to which saved us from unnecessary office visits without delaying any diagnose or treatment. We feel so lucky finding her! Highly recommend. read more

Dr. Bruckner is absolutely wonderful with children and has a laid back but attentive bedside manner. She is so responsive when you have a need and is by far one of the best doctors I have ever been to. (Wish she saw adults!) The staff is friendly and efficient. Couldn't say better things about Dr. Bruckner and the Westside Pediatrics staff. read more

I couldn't be happier that I found Dr. Bruckner at Westside Pediatrics. She is always very knowledgeable, caring, compassionate, calming and always has a smile on her face. You can tell that working with children and their families is her true passion. Our son loves visiting the doctor's office! And the entire staff is very friendly and quick to respond to anything we need. We highly recommend Dr. B! read more

I am so happy we were referred to Dr. Bruckner by my OB-GYN. She was at the hospital on our son's day of birth and every day after until we were discharged 4 days later. Her bedside manner is casual, and she is extremely knowledgable. She made us feel at ease about some of the common worries of first time parents. Her office is beautiful, and full of friendly staff. I am sad we had to move across the country and lose her. read more

I just got off the phone with this practice. Explained to them that we are visiting here from the UK and my daughter ran a very high fever last night and I would like her to see a doctor. I asked if they have availability and also a first time exam fee. Though they had availability and I also agreed to the fee, I was told they can't see her unless we are planning to transfer ourselves to their practice as primary care. I said well, since we live in England I'm not sure how that happens and so the receptionist says "Yeah so basically that means we can't see you". Not sure if the policy is at fault or the receptionist is ignorant. Either way, here's one frustrated mother moving on to call another doctor who may actually want to do what doctors are meant to do - HELP. read more

Dr. Bruckner comes from a long line of Pediatricians and it shows in her knowledge, bed-side manner and report with parents. I've never felt so much at ease taking my children to the doctor as I do with her. She is pragmatic and solution/evidence based. You won't find her toting any of the obnoxious, over the top, hippy dippy stuff that is so popular right now in West LA. Her office is inviting and cheerful and I've never waited to bring my two children in when they needed to see her. read more

Dr. Bruckner is hands down the best pediatrician out there, she truly cares for my kids well being and goes above and beyond what most pediatricians do. My daughter has been a patient with her for two years now and my son was born in June and we moved shortly after to Pasadena yet still drive to see her, that's how much I like her. The office is unbelievably clean and we saw dr Kagan when dr bruckner was out of town once after a night my daughter was in the ER and he was absolutely fantastic and saved us another trip to the ER. I know they don't except a lot of insurance and we pay cash to see her and as cheesy as this sounds it's worth every penny. Thanks Dr Bruckner for always being there for my million and one questions. read more

Dr. Bruckner is fantastic! I can't tell you how many times she has seen one of my girls off hours or on weekends, but it's been many. She's very good and very accessible and that is very refreshing. My girls are in great hands! We're so grateful we found her. read more

My baby girl is now 6 months and since she was born, Dr. Bruckner has taken care of her. I just love her. She is the best pediatrician that I ever met. She is concerned about the whole family well being. Also the clinic is very professional, clean and organized. I love the fact that they have an exclusive room for healthy babies. If you are looking for a pediatrician, consider Dr. Bruckner. She was recommended by my OB and I don't regret choosing her. read more

Dr. Bruckner is the dream doctor. She has helped us navigate all things health for our first child, including less than fun rashes. She's always available and responds quickly via email if you have any questions (and I've had plenty!). The office is clean, organized, and we have never had to wait more than 10 minutes to see her. They offer same day sick appointments with a separate waiting room for sick kids. We are totally gutted losing her as we are moving out of state - I couldn't ask for a more compassionate doctor for our little guy! read more

Emily is the best. She was the first pediatrician I interviewed and I was so confident in her, she was the only pediatrician I interviewed. She is confident, available and clearly enjoys what she does. I have had nothing but great experiences with her! read more

Dr. Bruckner is great! My wife selected their practice and now I know why... she is compassionate, caring, makes you feel your child is at the right office. From the second we met her she's have been positive, making the new world of parenting as simple as possible. We appreciate the vkeep it simple approach but have the upmost technology if needed. We look forward to having our son be a part of this office. read more

We met Dr Bruckner when she was at her previous office and she made such a good impression on us that we changed our insurance so we could have her as our pediatrician and we're so glad we did. Dr. Bruckner has exceeded all expectations. She is that rare breed of doctor who is able to look beyond the medical texts to understand what your child needs. She is extremely competent and knowledgable, offering insights into our child's complex medical needs that hospital specialists were unable to. And at the same time she's extremely warm and caring. She takes so much time to ensure you and your child feel comfortable and have answers to all your questions and respects you as a parent and your choices for your child. It seems nothing is too much trouble and we feel her genuine care for and interest in our child. She's well connected and seems to have to a network of other equally skilled pediatric specialists and we feel reassured there is so much expertise available when our child needs it. The office is lovely, we've always been seen exactly on time with no waiting (separate waiting rooms for well and sick children in any case) and been able to get urgent appointments when needed. We are so impressed with Dr. Bruckner on all levels and happy to find her on Yelp so we can share how wonderful she is. read more

Dr. Emily Bruckner is a wonderful doctor and person! My husband and I are soon-to-be first time parents and Dr. Bruckner was so helpful, knowledgeable and generous. Not only did she spend a lot of quality time with us, but she went way out of her way to help get us started. She loves being a pediatrician and it shows. We highly recommend Dr. Bruckner. Thank you! Lori B. read more

Dr. Bruckner is an amazing pediatrician! She is very knowledgeable and she makes herself extremely accessible to her patients, demonstrating how much she's cares. She answers emails regarding our son very reliably and promptly, and her easy going nature and warmth are very comforting. read more

Dr. Bruckner really is as good as it gets. As a first time mom I searched high and low to find our perfect pediatrician. I was looking for someone who could help guide us along this new journey and we feel so extremely lucky to have found her. She is incredibly kind and so amazing with my daughter. Dr. Bruckner goes above and beyond for her patients and is always there to help calm my new mom panics! read more

Dr. Bruckner is so wonderful. We met her when I was pregnant and she has been so great and there for us since day 1. We have seen her a TON since our baby started daycare (he is now 10 months). She goes above and beyond in every interaction with her and makes us feel like family. She is very knowledgeable, caring, and makes you feel like her only patient when you see her. Our little guy absolutely loves her and is so happy every time we visit (he didn't even cry the last time he had shots). Being a new parent can come with a lot of questions and worries and she has always taken every concern, call, etc seriously and made time for us even on very short notice. We are so thankful to have Dr. Bruckner not only as our baby's pediatrician, but also now someone we are sure will be a lifelong friend. read more
