I've previously written a review for Dr. Ilan Kedan, but after my recent experience, I felt compelled to share another one. I recently called his office because I was experiencing sharp pain in my calf. His team immediately told me to come in within the hour. Dr. Kedan arranged for a specialist to perform a scan that same day, personally reviewed all the results with me, ordered a full blood panel, and called me the following day to follow up. I was born and raised in Los Angeles and have been receiving care at Cedars-Sinai throughout my life. As a cancer survivor, I've also been fortunate to work with many excellent doctors, so I understand what exceptional medical care looks like. I can honestly say that Dr. Kedan stands out among all of them. His bedside manner, genuine compassion, thoroughness, and efficiency are unlike anything I've experienced. He is, hands down, the best doctor I have ever seen and I have many close friends who are physicians. I only wish I had met him sooner, but I feel incredibly fortunate that our paths crossed. I would never consider seeing anyone else when it comes to my heart or overall health. I trust him completely and recommend him to everyone I know. Dr. Kedan is truly one of a kind. Most of all, his staff is wonderful !!!!!! read more

There are many things my wife and I like about Dr. Kedan. He's genuinely caring and he's very knowledgeable (he's also a professor at Cedars) and he's extremely accessible. However, one of the things I like most about him is that he's curious -- and that extends beyond his specialty of cardiology. So when he works with us, he's looking at more than just our hearts. Now that he's opened his own practice -- still at Cedars Sinai, but unfettered from the corporate business model -- our experience of his care is even better. Among other things, he is able to spend more time with us when we go in for a checkup. His new office at 99 LaCienega is modern and attractive and his staff people are super friendly and caring. When we visit Dr. Kedan for our regular checkups, we feel more than cared for and supremely confident we are in good hands with a cardiologist who truly cares about us beyond just our heart health. read more

Dr Kedan was responsive, thorough, with great expertise. Highly recommend his office for effective and trusted cardiac care!!

Dr. Ilan Kedan is hands-down not only the best cardiologist but the best doctor that I've ever experienced. I initially went to see him after being hospitalized with extremely high blood pressure and diagnosed with atherosclerosis. Dr. Kedan immediately impressed upon me the importance of becoming lean and fit, focusing heavily on nutrition and overall wellness rather than solely relying on pharmaceuticals. He spends more dedicated, personalized time with patients than I've seen from any other doctor, truly embodying a VIP concierge medical experience. I also really like the staff that he has assembled. They're friendly, polite, attentive, and smart! His use of handheld ultrasound technology is uniquely powerful, allowing him to quickly and effectively diagnose health issues and detect potential problems early. Dr. Kedan's proactive approach and genuine care have profoundly impacted my life--I highly recommend everyone visit him regularly for optimal cardiovascular health. read more

Dr Kardan has been my cardiologist for at least 10 years. I initially saw him because I had a lot of skipped beats training for the Los Angeles marathon.He is always very pleasant and most importantly always spend time with you and is very knowledgeable. I went to his new office which is extremely nice and his staff is wonderful. I cannot wait to go back for my next visit . What a breath of fresh air to see that there are still doctors that care about spending time with patients ! read more

I started with Dr.kedan more than 10 years ago. He was a very young doctor and I was afraid because I had a very experienced doctor at Cedars previously it turns out that Dr. Kedan is probably my favorite doctor. He is extremely thorough and direct and takes the time to really understand me as a patient not just a number he is very pleasant and engaging and I trust his knowledge. I feel grateful that Dr.Medan is my doctor. Additional note, he is easy on the eyes ! read more

I have been a patient of Dr KEDAN's first at Cedars and now at his new office. Dr Kedan cares. He follows up- a rarity nowadays. He listens, takes copious notes, and asks questions. He'll also answer all your questions. All of them. I had a major heart attack in April 2024 and am convinced I'd be dead by December if I hadn't switched to Dr Kedan as my main cardiologist. Discretion being the better part of valor, I will not elaborate on my previous statement nor name names. Dr KEDAN's level of care is way above and beyond other staff cardiologists. I know this from my personal experience. If you are searching for a cardiologist because of dubious genetics or actual cardiac issues I urge you to contact Dr Kedan. His staff is accommodating, incredibly efficient, caring and truly respectful of your fears or condition. I'm a newcomer to this cardiac world and was quite upset about the lackadaisical care I was receiving at my previous dr's office. I believe in Dr Kedan and his vision of being the best doctor he can be. I urge you to reach out and experience his office. It might save your life. read more

*Re. Alex E's commemt, Dr. Kedan has left the Cedars Sinai Medical Group, but is still affiliated with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Dr. Kedan has been my cardiologist for over 10 years now. He is a superb doctor and a wonderful, caring person. When I recently tried to schedule an appointment, I learned that he had left the group practice. I was shocked and chagrined, thinking that he may have relocated to another city. I soon learned that he had opened his own private practice (still affiliated with Cedars-Sinai), in the interest of delivering top quality, focused care, to fewer patients. The practice, named CardioLucent, is in Beverly Hills, right near his previous office. The practice does not accept medicare, but it's more than worth it for the focused attention and access to the doctor (including appointments) provided. I had my first consult last week and it's a whole new world! Highly recommended. read more

I have had the pleasure of having Dr.Ilan Kedan as my cardiologist since he started at Cedars. My first visit was as I left the Medical Center after my second open heart surgery, for a upper ascending aortic aneurysm and valve replacement. As I recall I was having some difficulty so he ordered a TEE.Trans Esophageal Echocardiogram. He has always taken great care of me and has the latest gadgets to check on my heart and orders what tests he deems necessary, along with being very easy to talk to. Dr. Kedan is loved by his patients and staff alike. If you are looking for the best, look no further. You have to love a doctor who rides a unicycle to work! read more

Dr. Kedan is an extraordinary physician. He is both brilliant and deeply caring. I could not recommend him highly enough.

I had my first cardiology appointment with Dr Kedan in March 2024. His standard of care is high and he is extremely knowledgeable. Communication and follow-up from him is excellent. And he is a very pleasant person. read more

Dr. Kedan is very thorough. I went to him because of a possible issue with high blood pressure. He has a hand-held scanner that he used to check not only my heart, but other parts of my body too. As a result of what he saw, he referred me for an ultrasound of my thyroid and my abdomen, and after reviewing those results, and calling me, he sent me for a needle biopsy and a CT scan, respectively. Dr. Kedan went well beyond the scope of just checking my heart, and I'm grateful. You never know what's going on inside your body. (Everything turned out okay, but there are things that need to be watched that I would not have known about without Dr. Kedan's thoroughness.) He has a process he goes through during appointments to make sure he covers everything. After he completes his checklist, he leaves time for (and welcomes) questions. (I always go to doctor appointments with a list so I don't forget my questions, and I don't waste the doctor's time.) He listens well. Even though my blood pressure was high in his office, I told him I had been tracking it at home. He reviewed my data and concluded that my BP was in the normal range. I was grateful that he didn't insist I take medication, but carefully looked at the information I presented, and saw that every time I went to a doctor appointment my BP shot up, but it was normal at home. In addition, Dr. Kedan is accessible and responsive. If I send him a message on CS-Link, he responds promptly. I can attach my Excel document (showing my BP readings) to my message so he has it a day ahead of my appointment time. I am very impressed with Dr. Kedan, and would not hesitate to recommend him. read more

So sad Dr. Ilan Kedan is leaving his position at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. He has taken care of me for 11 years since my open heart surgery. As my Cardiologist, he has given me solid and professional advice. Whoever will be his future patients or students(He is also a professor) will be so fortunate. Good luck Dr. Kedan. read more

I really can't articulate how well I'm treated by Dr Kedan and his office staff; however i will do my best effort. Dr Kedan always listens to me and I feel he does everything right with me. He has spent a lot of time making sure that the cedars heart transplant team has me accepted for a heart transplant. His offices are always clean quiet and private. His staff goes out of the way to help me deal with our complicated health care system. A special thanks to Catherine who goes out of her way to make things easy on me. Also Jackie the nurse practitioner is very knowledgeable just as patient and understanding of how important listening is. I have over the years been with Dr Kedan and I have no regrets and I feel 100% confidant in his hands. I have been in need of a cardiologist for 11 years and I'm so happy to have Dr Kedan. Im 46 and I've been in his care for about 5 years. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Kedan over 10 years that is a review in itself. It's a shame that there is Yelp that allows people who rate their laundromat 5 stars and tries to rate a professional. It's also a shame this is set up as an opinion pole not a professional network. Always remember to read these people previous post to show you who they really are. Dr. Kedan has always been professional and in fact probably saved my life. read more

Dr Kedan is excellent at his job and I could not recommend him enough. I was having intense chest pains and after a battery of tests he was able to diagnosis me with vertigo. He was patient and thoughtful. You are in good hands. read more

I saw Dr Kedan and immediately knew he was the right doctor. I have recommended him to friends and my Husband. This is where the trouble began. Dr. Kedan found that my husband needed to see a Pulmonologist and recommended a doctor that turned out to be awful . we called Dr Kadan to find out what to do and have not heard back from him and it is has been 10 Days. I am so disappointed in him and his treatment of my husband I do think he is a wonderful doctor but this situation is hard to swallow It turns out that my husband does have a serious condition. read more

A while back, I switched insurance and learned that Cedars was in my HMO plan. That was amazing as Cedars in general has such a great system (easy appointments, great technology, wonderful staff). Dr. James Caplan is my PCP (5 stars) and I had had open heart surgery when I was 5 years old (congenital birth defect, stenosis). I suspected I would need surgery again at some point, but since I made it to 40 years old and hadn't needed it, I thought I might be out of the zone. Well, my very first referral to Dr. Kedan, he ran all the preliminary tests. When we went to the office, he began taking down my medical history. (Once your history is in the system, all doctors can see it, so Kaplan and Kedan can both see what each other have recorded) That took a few minutes, but what he did next is the definition of a GREAT doctor. He stopped the note taking and wheeled over on his doctor's stool, looked me straight in the eyes, and said very calmly and reassuringly, "You are going to need surgery. (tiny pause) BUT, don't worry. We will get through this together." He added something like "You and I are going to get to know each other very well." That was over 2 years ago and since the surgery (performed by Dr. Alfredo Trento - also 5 stars, but not very chatty or effusive), I have felt SO much better. I really didn't realize that I actually had been suffering from a real lack of oxygenation. One thing I had had wrong over 10 years were irregular rhythms. My Electro Physiologist Donna Gallik (ALSO, 5 stars!!!) had helped by doing chemical and electro cardioversions a few times, and by identifying a rarely used drug that helped a bit. But, since the surgery the irregular rhythms have almost completely stopped. But, back to Dr. Kedan. I still go in twice a year. He has ALWAYS been supportive and made me feel like more than a patient. He offers fantastic advice. I knew I needed to lose some weight and I said to him. "I know what you're going to stay. Lose some weight." His replay was "I'm not going to tell you you NEED to lose weight. I'm going to TELL YOU HOW to lose weight." He even had me watch the trailer for 'Forks over Knives.' I haven't gone vegetarian, but I am very conscious of how I eat now (and have lost 40 pounds). He is a great proponent of technology. He has shown me how to use my iPhone to store medical data and to use it to stay healthy. I shared an app with him that I find useful: Cardiograph, and he has touted the benefits of FitBit. I haven't gotten FitBit yet, buy I use MyFitnessPal and I use Pacer to track steps (10,000 a day!!) I'm not a man of substantial means, but each year I try to make a small gift to Cedars, and when I do, I always do it in his honor. Anyone lucky enough to have Dr. Kedan as their doctor should feel blessed. He is genuinely amazing. read more

Dr. Kedan is great, however Dr. Kedan's resident Dr. Mays no so much. She was asking me questions from another patient's treatment plan or records, when I stated that wasn't me, Dr. Mays stated: "but that is what is our notes for you". Out of fear I left. read more

Ilan Kedan is a great cardiovascular doctor. He has been my cardiologist from 2007 when I had an angioplasty with him. He has been my prime reference for all medication I have. He is man of principles and knowledge. In short I love him. read more

First time to visit Dr and the office, staffs and Dr are very great and helpful. I am very pleased to see Dr.Kedan today as the first visit.

Hi just saw Dr, Kedan today for the first time. He spent a good amount of time with me asking me a lot of questions and answered all of mine. He made me feel very confident that he will find a solution to my problem. His office staff was wonderful and kind. All in all it was a great experience. read more
