We've been taking our two children to Dr. Julie Douglass for the past six years and have consistently had a great experience. Whether it's routine checkups, sick visits, or annual flu shots, Dr. Douglass and her staff have always been caring, attentive, and professional. The team does a wonderful job making our kids feel comfortable and well cared for. We're very grateful for the excellent care they've received over the years. read more

She was always a kind person! She would go out of way for you! She is what a real doctor is all about! read more

We love Dr. Julie and the staff! No waiting! Easy to get appointments...but more importantly, she has been both my kids pediatrician for the past 18 years! Thank you for the excellent health care!! Also, when my kids were younger and I would need advice on caring for them when they were sick, I would call the office and they were there for me! It was so reassuring to have a team helping me care for my kids! I'm forever grateful!! read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Ryan. He's kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. He actually listens (which is rare these days) and makes you feel comfortable asking questions. He takes his time and thoroughly goes through everything. If you're looking for a doctor who truly cares, this is the one! read more

Dr Douglass and her staff have taken care of my son for 18 years. The office makes the scary parts of office visits, like shots so easy for the kids. They also understand when new parents need an extra office visit when kids get sick even if it's just for peace of mind. I highly recommend Dr Julie Douglass. We will miss this practice! For the little kids, they have shows and toys in the waiting room to keep them occupied. read more

Lady who answered the phone 5/19 @ 10am was incredibly rude with attitude for no reason. Do not recommend this office.

Dr Douglas is great but her receptionist is terrible! So rude! She treats me so bad and she's just a receptionist! I needed a past record because my sons got older and I changed doctor and she gave me an attitude that I changed doctor !! read more

I usually don't like to write any negative reviews but I just really want other people to be aware. First off, the girl at the front desk is EXTREMELY EXTREMELY RUDE. How she still has that job, I have no clue!!! She has a horrible attitude (this is an understatement). Hangs up on you without saying thank you or even a simple BYE!!! She should NOT be working there with that rotten A** attitude. Never ever have I experienced such HORRIBLE patient treatment. My feeling is that she is either related to someone there or has some kind of connection. That isn't even it. My very first visit with Dr. Julie was pleasant. She was welcoming and I had a good vibe from her. After that, it just went downhill. They overbook and each visit I'm waiting at LEAST 45 minutes. Once I see her, she rushes the appointment and I literally only see her for MAX 5 minutes. Such bad practice. I understand it gets busy but don't overbook! No wonder there's always availability. I'm glad I no longer take my kids there. I've always sucked it up, grinned and beared it but for the sake of my children, I can no longer receive this horrible treatment. read more

Dr. Douglass has been my teenagers' pediatrician since they were born. I have always appreciated her smart and practical approach to their care. I can't recommend her enough if you are looking for a new pediatrician. She has a great rapport with parents and with children of all ages. My son and daughter both feel comfortable talking with her. Through the years she has ALWAYS been available for same day appointments when we have needed to be seen. Also her nurses are incredibly friendly and sweet. read more

We love Dr. Douglass! She has been our pediatrician for the last 5 years. She is so lovely and caring and my girls love her. She always remembers them and my oldest always refers to her as Dr Julie :) Jenny in the office is also wonderful, she has been so helpful with insurance and referral issues I've had and is always so lovely if I call. She gets how frustrating it is with insurances and really is on your side! They will usually get you seen the same day if you call in and that is so reassuring with little ones as they can become sick really fast and accidents happen. No one wants to go to the urgent care or the ER if they don't need to! read more

Talks so fast during office visit. Doesn't listen. Upside, the office was always accommodating.

Dr. Ryan Sawelson is the BEST! He is fiercely passionate about taking great care of his patients and their families.

You are in great hands with Dr. Ryan. read more

Dr. Ryan Sawelson is a one of a kind pediatrician. He takes wonderful care of my children and I am so glad that we found him. Would recommend him to anyone and everyone with kids! read more

After 22 years through three children, Dr. Julie and her staff now feel like an extension of our family. I always gladly made the short trip to her office from Manhattan Beach knowing that my kids were getting the best care and attention. She is so kind, and just a joy to be around. Your baby deserves the absolute best! read more

Dr. Julie has been our family pediatrician for 22 years. All three of my kids have seen her since birth and our youngest, at 17, is finally about to age out of her practice, which is almost traumatic after the incredible care we have experienced for over two decades. Dr. Julie is kind, empathetic but also practical. Her staff is incredible and they are ALWAYS aware of what is "going around" and can set your mind at ease when they've already seen something a million times that month. Her office is spotless and comfortable and parking is plentiful and free. Please know that your children will be in the very best of hands with Dr. Julie and her staff--and I hope someday your family will have the pleasure of "aging out" of that office. Thanks for an amazing journey, Dr. Douglass! read more

Dr Julie is a caring and proactive doctor. My children started with Dr . Julie over 30 years ago. Now my youngest daughter takes her son to see her. She always spends the needed time and goes above and beyond for the best care of the child. I couldn't feel more grateful for Dr. Julie and her wonderful staff. Always kind and helpful. read more

I absolutely LOVE Julie Douglas! You can tell she truly cares about her patients. Whenever I call her office with a question, she will call me back directly. And her response time is extremely fast. It's so nice to talk directly to the doctor instead of playing telephone with the receptionist. Dr Douglass really takes the time to listen to your concerns and answer all of your questions. She's such an amazing doctor!!! I can't recommend her enough!!! read more

Dr. Douglass was thorough, empathetic and a true professional when my son had his physical.

They seem to stay in contact between visits. Positive attitudes of staff. As a new patient, I feel more than welcome. Clean environment and service. read more

We love Dr. Julie! My kids actually don't mind going to doctor appointments. Everyone in the office is super friendly and always helpful. I have never had a problem getting same day appointments when my kids get sick. read more

Julie and her staff are so incredibly nice and helpful. They always make my sons care feel like a priority. I am so thankful to them for making my son feel better and always finding a way to fit him in. They are real angels. read more

Our family has had the pleasure of having had Dr Julie as our pediatrician for 22 years. She is the best! She is kind and caring and never leaves a stone unturned. We will miss her when our youngest (16 years old) moves from a pediatrician to a doctor for adults. We love you and your staff Dr Julie! Thank you for all you do! read more

Its now been 7 years and the quality of care is still top tier. A+ service and the Doctor is always attentive and knowledgeable to all your needs and questions. She is a great doctor and I would recommend her to everyone!! She has decades of experience and her staff are awesome as well. This is one of the best pediatricians you need to book for your children. Just do it ! read more

Thank you Dr Douglass for keeping my daughter healthy for the full 18 years! We will miss you and your wonderful staff! read more

Julie Douglass MD - Pediatricians Near Me - Torrance, California

My children have been patients of "Doctor Julie" since my oldest (now 16 y.o.) was four days old. Dr. Julie is just the kind of pediatrician you'd want for your kids . . . kind, knowledgable, upbeat and VERY VERY caring. She has never missed a step with us, whether it be having a nurse (go Gladys!) who can administer nearly pain-free shots, a staff that can turn around all those forms you need for school, camp and other activities in a fast and friendly manner, or having the spot-on recommendation for additional medical/developmental professionals should your child need additional outside assistance. Doctor Julie's office (which she shares with four or five other doctors) is always spotless, and each examination room is clean and well-prepped for each visit. Her building's parking lot is large, never full, and free. On the occasion that Dr. Julie is away, she has always provided the best in stand-in care during her absence - Dr. Andrade (now with the practice) and Dr. Craig have been fantastic. There is only one drawback: One day my healthy, happy kids will outgrow Dr. Julie, and that is a day I am not looking forward to in the least! read more

Dr. Julie is wonderful! My boys adore her. We were referred to Dr. Julie through my pediatrician growing up and she has been the best! I appreciate the flexibility to always find an appointment for my boys. Her staff is wonderful as well - kind, caring, and show true interest in our family! Dr. Julie, you are truly amazing! Thank you! read more

Had to come in to see Dr. Douglass for a "sick visit" and the office and Dr. Douglass were quick and courteous. Always a pleasure to see them and Dr. Douglass is just so fun for my 17yo to chat with! read more

10000% Best pediatrician and staff in the South Bay. Dr. Douglass and the entire staff go over and beyond to ensure you leave the office happy and all your concerns are addressed. I'm not one to leave reviews but My daughter just had her physical and I was so impressed that I felt I had to share. She is now 15 and has been coming to Dr. Douglass since birth. Typical teenager dislikes appointments but was happy to go in and see the doctor and say hello to the staff. She was actually excited to share her hobbies and update them and have them see how she's grown up. Made me happy to see how comfortable she was and how they are like family to her and are invested that she is healthy and happy. Always easy to schedule appointment, minimal wait in lobby, clean office. Too old for her now but they have great toys/books/ and a playground that she enjoyed when younger. Dr. Douglass and staff have helped us get thru it all -sickness, dislocated shoulder, brocken arm, teenage acne, ear infections, rashes you name it and My girl actually enjoys going to their office, that speaks volumes!!!. Not sure if Dr. Douglass is taking new patients but if she is you won't be disappointed and very lucky to have her and her staff be your child's care team and genuinely feel like you are family. read more

Dr. Douglass is our absolute favorite. You can tell she genuinely cares for our son and wants the best for him. She's always available to take my calls and questions without a hint of annoyance. She spends quality time with us each visit that we never feel rushed. I trust her wholeheartedly as our pediatric doc. Thank you Dr Julie!! read more

Dr Julie has been my 18 year old daughters doctor since she was born. She has been the most amazing doctor! Dr Julie is smart, compassionate and really listens to us. We are so lucky she has provided excellent care for my daughter over the years. All of the staff is extremely friendly and accommodating as well. The office is clean and lots of parking too. I highly recommend Dr Julie :) read more

Love this doctor's office. Nurse Gladys is amazing and caring! She is always so attentive which makes my kids feel better and makes me feel more calm. We keep going back because of Gladys! read more

If i could give zero stars i would and i will be removing my child from this practice. The office is DIRTY. The restrooms are disgusting the floors are dirty and the walls are as well i would not let my child walk barefoot let alone crawl on those floors or play with the toys in the rooms and definitely not the toys they have in that waiting room. You can tell the Drs here cut corners when it comes to cleanliness and entertainment. I've spent more time in that crowded waiting room than with the Doctor. Dr Douglass is constantly "running behind" and rushes our visit and brushes off any questions my partner and I have. Our last visit there she ran out of our room to tend to her dog who was crying and paraded him around which is not very professional or sanitary in my opinion. The staff looks overwhelmed with patients and are honestly the only reason we've stayed this long. Very accommodating but they should schedule accordingly due to long wait times and the lack of Doctor patient support. It seems to be easier to get an appointment than a call back from Dr Julie. We are definitely not happy and unfortunately will be leaving her office. read more

I can't say enough about how wonderful Dr. Douglass and her team have been over the last 12 years. If we could stay with her longer we would. Today was the last visit for our son as he's 18 and going off to college. She has always been professional, friendly and is great with the kids. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a doctor for your kids. read more

We have loved having Dr Douglas as our chikdr pediatrician since the day she first examined our first born baby girl in 2004.

I called in to have my son check out the receptionist pick up and asked me if it was Medi-Cal or cash I said it's cash, then proceeded to ask me what was wrong with the patient. I told her the symptoms she check with her doctor and the doctor said that she's not willing to do second opinions so I proceeded to tell her that I don't need a second opinion I just need a solution to his cough. She checks back with the doctor and they come back with we don't take Medi-Cal or cash it seems the doctor don't have no value for patients read more

Dr. Douglass has been my children's pediatrician for years. I love the way she interacts with my kids. Appointments are always available for emergencies. Even now that I don't live nearby, I make the drive to take my kids to see Dr. Douglass. She is an amazing pediatrician. read more

Hello to those who are looking to see Dr Juile Douglas. I find that Dr Juile Douglas is not a very good Dr. She is Always rushing to get through the visit an I understand she has other patients but when your a Dr you are suppose to listen to what health problems the patients are having and refer them to the right Dr to address those problems without trying to take care of the issue with words of what to eat and do. Besides the Dr Rushing through your visit it just seems like a money scam for insurance for her to tell you you have to see her to get a referral to a specialist. The problem is we have seen Dr Juile twice about the same problem my daughter is having and each time she just gives words of encouragement... well that has Not worked out an it's to the point now that my daughter is in Severe pain because of what Dr Juile lacks in that area of need. So now she wants us to make another appt to see her again about what we have already been telling her about the ongoing issue. This just seems Wrong to me that we have to see her again for the 3rd time to get a referral for the specialist to take care of this problem that Dr Juile does Not handle in her office. So this to me just seems like an abuse of the insurance system to gain more money at the patients health expense. read more

Be warned that if you choose not to vaccinate she will refuse you as a patient. You do not always have to agree and take the advise of your doctor. Clearly we were just dollar signs to her. read more
