I can't recommend Dr. Kumetz and her team highly enough. She delivered both of my children, and her care is so exceptional that she almost makes me want a third! She is compassionate, incredibly knowledgeable, and never makes you feel rushed--even when you have a million questions. Both of my deliveries involved complications and inductions, but Dr. Kumetz handled everything so expertly that the process felt easy. If you want a doctor you can trust implicitly who goes above and beyond, she is well worth it. read more

Went a few times, mainly to try to sort out menopause issues, hoping a female "woman" doctor would be empathetic and knowledgeably. Its fairly certain that Dr. Kumetz is not a menopause doctor but probably rather just obgyn focus. She gave me a very basic paper of how to diet, yes weight gain is a common menopause symptom, but if you're a fairly active person who eats normally, it means your hormone, cortisol, testosterone levels are not balanced. She didn't seem interested in helping, and I left feeling much worse than when I arrived. It's ridiculous that in 2026 we don't have more insight into something every woman will face. read more

Can't say enough nice things about this doctor and her office. Beyond feeling comfortable, they make the effort to coordinate related appointments for same day care read more

Just had my second baby in 2 years with Dr K. I cannot recommend her and the team enough! You are soooo supported throughout your whole pregnancy they become family. Starting from routine visits to delivery they go above and beyond. From office experience to care quality and Dr Kumetz herself; a dream! Looking forward to future visits already that should tell you something read more

I cannot recommend Dr. Kumetz highly enough. She was the most attentive, accessible, knowledgeable and compassionate OB I have ever seen. She delivered our child with such care and expertise and was extremely present for every step of our journey. Always taking the time to answer all our questions, discuss options and concerns we brought up, shared her wisdom, and always made time to see me if something came up last minute. Her staff is incredible and the only reason I am no longer with her is because she no longer accepts my insurance otherwise I would continue to see her for as long as she continues to be in practice. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. What an impeccable dream of a Doctor that truly goes above and beyond. read more

Dr. Kumetz singlehandedly restored my wellbeing in one visit. I spent 6 months in debilitating pain, unable to work, undergoing multiple surgeries, with 2 incorrect diagnoses, under the care of bad doctors. I was desperate to find someone who would actually just LISTEN to me. My first appointment with Dr. Kumetz ended up being almost 2 hours long. She calmly and intently listened to every word I said and asked me every question possible to understand my case. I walked out with a diagnosis, a plan, my mental health improved by about 500%, and a hug. She is the best of the best. read more

Responsive and caring. Doesn't take insurance but it seems that is the way all doctors are going in LA.

Dr. Kumetz is truly the best! I have been seeing her for 7 years now and I can't imagine going anywhere else. She practices up to date, evidence based medicine with love and compassion. I've had a few bumps in the road over the past 2 years, and the whole time she made me feel like she was right by my side. She is the type of doctor that views her job as a calling rather than work, and she was made to care for others. I feel so lucky that I found her. To boot, her office staff are wonderful!! They are cheerful, friendly and knowledgeable. read more

I looooove Dr. K and her staff! I have been going to her for 15 or so years and she's always been super nice and taken her time (never rushed), considerate of pain management and fast to follow up on any tests/labs. I have a lot of trust in her. In addition, the staff is kind and courteous, and if they've had a bad day I wouldn't know. This is a pretty big testament - there's a lot of grumpy offices out there and it sets the tone for a lot of people. So kudos to the team! read more

Dr. Kumetz is by far the most amazing doctor I have ever been to. I truly wish all doctors had the same compassion, knowledge, ability to explain that knowledge and overall kindness that she delivers consistently. I truly wish I could duplicate her and see her as a GP and any other doctor I have needed or may need. read more

Highly compassionate and caring and patient OBGYN. I came with some major health issues and she was able to help me find a plan of action. I'm going to start seeing her for my fertility hopefully in the next year. read more

This is the first yelp review I've ever written- but the medical care I received from Dr. Kumetz was so amazing that I decided to write one. I wish every doctor was like Dr. Kumetz. She truly cares about her patients, is extremely thorough, knowledgable, and takes her time with you to make sure every question is answered. Dr. Kumetz saved my life when she found a lump in my breast and literally was at my side through 7 years of breast cancer treatment and its aftermath. To say she went above and beyond is an understatement. I have referred many friends to Dr. Kumetz and everyone has been so happy with the quality of care they received. As a side note, her office is also a pleasure to deal with. It's easy to always reach a real person who knows what they are talking about. 5 stars isn't enough! read more

Dr K. Delivered my second baby last year. She went above and beyond again to make sure my delivery went as smoothly as possible. She also did everything she could to make sure she was the doctor to deliver my little girl. I recently moved, but will still travel to see her for appointments when possible as she is who makes me feel comfortable. read more

If you want a birth that will most likely have an intervention, performed by a doc who only cares about your money, then Dr. Kumetz is the doc for you! I came to her before I had fully figured out my birth plan, and the visits were very basic: A loooong wait at the front, followed by intake by a technician, then finally about a 10 minute impersonal visit with the doc herself! She seemed very by the book, and initially I didn't question it, but when I realized that a hospital birth was not for me, and shared those feelings with Dr. Kumetz--she judged me so harshly that I left her office in tears. "It's not just about you, it's about the baby!" she had the nerve to say to me. "Women die in home births!" It was disgusting. If you want to be put in a position where you have NO choice regarding how you want your baby to be born, then by all means, hand yourself over to her. I switched my care over to 2 wonderful midwifes that day, and ended up having a successful home birth to my daughter several months later. No drugs, no interventions, no tearing on my part. I'm so glad that I left her practice, because later I also learned about her staggeringly high rate of c-sections. Women, you DO have a choice about your baby should be born, and no doctor has the right to tell you that you are a fool for not wanting your child to be born in a hospital. read more

Posting another review as I just recovered from my second pregnancy overseen by Dr. K. I am "advanced maternal age" since nearing 40 and have some other complications which make me high risk, however, I was never concerned due to the care and caution of Dr. K. I had new insurance this pregnancy, which she unfortunately does not accept and I was a cash patient. While I could have changed to an in network provider, I decided not to change to given my history/concerns/not wanting to start from scratch but the main reason being how much I loved my experience with Dr K throughout my previous pregnancy - Dr K, Flora and their team are incredible! Always available to answer any questions, amazing/attentive care and safely delivered another healthy boy. Due to her caution, my son is still here. Cannot recommend this office more! Thank you so much Dr K, Flora and team for another healthy amazing boy read more

Layne Kumetz, MD FACOG - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Dr Layne Kumetz is hands down one of the nicest most sincere people you will ever meet! Her staff is also amazing! She will definitely make your birthing experience a pleasant one. Highly recommend her to parents out there looking for a OBGYN that knows her stuff! Thanks again Dr Kumetz! read more

Layne Kumetz, MD FACOG - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I scheduled my daughter her annual women's wellness appointment after seeing the awesome reviews. Daughter said Dr. Laney was gentle and thorough and pleasant. The staff was nice and professional. They are out of network but my daughter really likes the doctor so will come back again. read more

I just tried to make an appointment with this doctor for an annual check-up. Even though I'm in-network, there's a MANDATORY annual fee of $300. They told me this doctor provides a "higher level of care" than other doctors, and that is the reason for the $300 yearly fee. It's disheartening how greedy people can be and gives a glimpse into the kind of doctor she is. read more

Dr. Kumetz is by far the best doctor of any kind I've had. But on top of that, her office has the best staff. Flora and Marlyn are not only the nicest people, they are so on top of everything from insurance to appointments and paperwork. Dr. Kumetz was my normal gynecologist but when my husband and I decided to have a baby, she was so great at letting us know what the process would be and what to expect. She's also extremely flexible with her patients' needs and wants for a delivery. When I ended up going into labor 7 weeks early due to my water breaking, she was there for me immediately even with another patient who also went into labor early. The high risk doctors at cedars wanted to do a c-section but dr. Kumetz knew how important a vaginal delivery was for me. She advocated for me, allowing me to labor as long as there weren't any complications. I ended up not getting a c-section and delivering our wonderful baby boy naturally. She came to visit me at the hospital afterwards in the evening on her day off (it was her daughters birthday). She was super reassuring and so calm yet so warm. She was amazing! From a logistical standpoint, I've also never waited long for an appointment. At the most I'm in the waiting room for 5 minutes (at the very most). The one time I did wait it was because one of dr. Kumetz's patients went into unexpected labor and she was at the hospital. I would want her to do the same for me for sure! All in all, dr. Kumetz and staff are amazing. I highly recommend her office! read more

She is the best doctor ever. I'm super uncomfortable going to the gynecologist, for obvious reasons, but she was so reassuring and comforting. I'm excited for her to deliver my first baby. The office is nice and clean, the location is ideal, the receptionist and medical assistants are great. The person who drew my blood didn't hurt me at all! They're fast and u don't wait or your appointments. My insurance doesn't cover her but she's so good it's worth paying out of pocket. I highly recommend her for people that need a doctors office to be clean & the doctor to be comforting and professional. She's everything! read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Kumetz for several years. My newly adult daughter is also her patient. I am not a western medicine devotee. I love eastern and energy medicine as well as western brilliance. Dr. Kumetz is a western doctor who respects my views and stands behind the life-saving science and technology she's so versed in. She's kind, loving, and attentive. Highpoints: --never waited more than 15 mins to see her --she's meticulous in documenting the specifics of my care --she expresses her disagreement with some of my choices and educates me with researched-based feedback --her hands are small and she's quick --SHE CARES (year after year) I found her after trying out 2 other doctors when my very-loved 10+ year ob/gyn closed her practice. She's never gauged me or overcharged. One last small plus, easy parking in the building and they validate! read more

I have lived in several different cities in my life and seen numerous obgyns, but Dr. Kumetz is by far the best doctor. Her bedside manner is superb. She is intelligent, knowledgeable, gentle and feminine. She explains every single detail about treatments, diagnosis, tests, etc in the way that anyone could understand. She is very quick and efficient but takes time to listen to my questions and concerns, and gives me the most sufficient advice. In addition to Dr. Kumetz' professionalism, her staff are all nice and the office has pleasant atmosphere. I feel very lucky to have found her. read more

The office is lovely but my experience was not. First of all, they don't accept insurance and their fees are EXTREMELY pricey. I was told they would bill insurance for me and I would be reimbursed, never happened. And my attempts to follow up were ignored by the staff. I felt like Dr. Kumetz was rushing me out of there, not really listening to me, and didn't provide me with any actual options for my EXTREMELY debilitating and painful periods. I was experiencing cramps that left me unable to do anything for about 2 days each month as well as very large clots and she kept telling me "some women have bad periods." I understand that, but I also know my own body and what was going on with me was absolutely NOT normal. Maybe she's great as an obstetrician, but for any gynecological needs beyond the basic woman's exam I'd go elsewhere. read more

Best OB around, I'm so happy to have found her! Great bedside manner, Dr Kumetz always made me feel comfortable. She delivered my son, I can't thank her enough! Absolutely the most amazing woman and OBGYN ever. Highly recommend her, she won't disappoint. read more

Dr. Kumetz is an amazing physician. It's clear that my health and the health of our baby was always her top priority. Working with Dr. K is a collaboration in healthcare, she is patient, attentive, and supportive. When our son was measuring small for his gestational age, she recommended induction and it was 100% the right decision. I was worried before each intervention, but I felt safe knowing they were recommended and monitored by Dr. K. Even though induction was not what I wanted, I had a 10 out of 10 birth experience thanks to Dr. Kumetz. Her team is amazing too. Marlyn, Flora, and Joanne continue to support me past delivery and postpartum. I would choose Dr. Kumetz in a heartbeat as our OBGYN if we become pregnant again in the future. read more

Dr. K is the absolute best doctor! She is amazing!!!! I was so blessed to have her deliver my beautiful son and to take care of me during such a fragile time in my life. She is understanding, compassionate, energetic and extremely knowledgeable. She single handedly made my pregnancy experience an unforgettable one (in a great way!!) Thank you doctor K! read more

I adore this woman and trust her with my health and the health of my unborn child. Her bed side manner is so calming and soothing, and I feel so insanely comfortable every time I see her (or even just think that she's my OBGYN). Layne Kumetz is the best of the best out here in Los Angeles, when I can change my insurance, I plan to change to one that she takes! Oh and her office staff are equally as amazing! I just love this place! read more

I LOVE Dr. Kumetz and her entire staff. I found her after having a bad experience with another OBGYN. I got pregnant a few months after my first visit with her and have delivered my baby. Therefore, I've been to her office a lot! I love her staff!!! They are so kind, patient, and nice! She uses a portal where all of your medical test results can be accessed at any time, you can e-mail her questions, pay bills, etc... It's very convenient! Dr. Kumetz is very laid-back and easy going. Every time I had a fear, she would put me at ease. I just feel so lucky to have found her. She has a very high rate of delivering her patients and delivered mine as well---even while she was on staycation! Note: As with most of DR's office parking in LA, parking in the building is expensive, but I found street parking about 70% of the time. read more

Absolutely LOVE Dr. K! She's been my OBGYN for several years and I'd highly recommend.

Dr. Layne Kumetz is the BEST OB, IMO! She delivered my beautiful baby last year in October and I just had the best experience. From the moment, I found out I was pregnant until my baby's birth, she gave me the best care. Her professionalism, sweet bedside manner and experience comforted me throughout everything. And I love her staff (Marlyne, Flora and Joanne) too! It is an office filled with professionalism and genuine nice people. Location is great and the office is super clean. I will always have Dr. Kumetz as my doctor! read more

Layne Kumetz, MD FACOG - My little Rocco a day after my cesarean with Dr. Kumetz. - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

i dont often write reviews, and when i do, they are usually negative. Dr. Kumetz, however, has been nothing but helpful throughout the entire process, from the initial interrogations to post-delivery. I don't know which side of the mommy movement you might be on, but i wanted the least pain for my wife in delivery and it was granted without B.S., (fyi get the epidural early) I could not give a higher recommendation read more

The staff here is amazing and Dr. Kumetz is great. I felt very at ease. They make you feel very comfortable and answer all of your questions. The facility is clean and they validate parking which is nice. read more

Dr. Kumetz has got to be the most amazing OB/GYN in history! I had been going to her for about 4 years for Pap Smears, endometrial issues, etc. She always had amazing bedside manner, assisted via phone call, etc. 2 years ago I raced back from Japan because I was pregnant and only wanted her to be my doctor and help me decide what to do. I had a very rough and trying pregnancy and she was there for me the entire time. She made sure I had the best care from fetal specialist to Gastrointestinal specialist. She got me through the pregnancy and brought a miracle of a child into the world. I moved 3k miles away and still fly back for my annual. I don't and won't go to anyone else! Her staff is an exhibit of who she is...amazing! Marlena and Flora are the best assistants and work for the best OB/GYN ever! They're like my 2nd family and I know that no one will ever compare! read more

Layne Kumetz, MD FACOG - The day Dr. Kumetz delivered via c-section my first and only child @ Cedars-Sinai - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

See all

If you're looking for a doctor who truly has your back, Dr. Kumetz is it. I had to switch OB's (due to insurance) just as I found out I was pregnant and as you can image, that wasn't an easy task. I asked a few friends of mine who are nurses who they recommend and almost every single one of them told me that Dr. K is the best. I'm a high risk pregnancy with a lot of complications and she has gone above and beyond to make me feel like I'm in great hands. She has amazing bedside manner and her staff is really friendly and welcoming. I can't say enough good things about Dr. K, I'm so happy (and relieved!) she's my OB! read more

No one enjoys going to the gynecologist. That's just a fact of life. However, yelp didn't lie here; Dr. Kumetz was about as comfortable as this experience was going to be. The office is lined with pictures of absolutely adorable babies and while I'm not at that stage in my life, I can see why people come here when they are. Scheduling was a breeze, and I never felt bad being one of those people who needs a late afternoon appointment because of work. They did schedule about six weeks out, but it wasn't an emergency and had it been, I'm sure they could have worked something out. They also scheduled me for another visit in a year, which I feel like is a good thing because we all know we put these things off! I really like the patient portal they have online. It makes seeing your test results now and in the future easy, and Dr. Kumetz personally responds to messages on there. It also allows for you to see your balance easily. Dr. Kumetz spent almost an hour with me late on a Thursday afternoon and I really felt like everyone in the office was very kind and respectful. They even called to let me know they were able to take me early if I could make it, but were clear that if I could not, they were happy to take me at my originally scheduled time. I ran into a situation where my insurance only paid for half the visit initially. I panicked, because I really like Dr. Kumetz but I definitely don't have the $400 it looked like I owed. However, the office was happy to appeal with my insurance, and must have done a good job, because my insurance paid in full after first claiming they didn't cover the procedures at all. It did take my insurance about a month to come back with the decision and in that time, there was absolutely no pressure to pay them while we waited. I have had awful experiences getting offices to appeal before, so this was a welcome change, and made me feel like the office cared about me as a human being, instead of just a source of income. read more

Dr. Kumetz is a GREAT gyno. The office is super comfy. They offer you water or juice and have complimentary candy AND condoms. They sell fancy vibrators! The magazines are always current! Flora, the person who is at the front desk is fantastic. She is friendly, knowledgable and incredibly helpful. I've had a couple different nurses take my vitals and they have all been professional and gentle. Dr. Kumetz herself is a freaking GEM of a doctor. She has a degree in psychology and it shows. Personable yet professional, informative but not condescending, patient and also efficient, charming but not over bearing. Of course choosing a doctor is personal based of subjective preferences but Dr. Kumetz and her practice seem to cater to many different types of women at different stages in their lives. Weather you want an IUD or if you're trying for twins, she seems to provide excellent care. I've only been the former but there are pictures of adorable babies all over so I have to assume the latter is true as well. Highly recommended. read more

I normally don't take the time to write an review because I do not feel like its worth the time. But Dr. Kumetz really deserves taking the extra time because she truly is amazing. I am originally from Europe and I always had troubles finding the right doctor here in LA. I don't want to be just a number, I would like someone to take the time to listen to my concerns and think about alternative options than always prescribing antibiotics. Dr. Kumetz is my Rockstar here. She really listens to you, she always takes enough time and you can tell that she really enjoys her job. She is super professional but also very sweet and caring. I am very happy I found her and even though I don't want her to get too busy ;) I would recommend her to really everyone! read more

Dr. Kumetz was amazing. Professional and friendly - a very pleasant person to be around. She made me feel very comfortable and asked lots of questions, which made me feel taken care of. Her staff was incredibly friendly as well, and her practice was clean, modern, and pretty. Bonus: I got an appointment the next day, which is not something I'm used to, especially as a new patient. I very much recommend her, she's one of the best doctors I've been to. Parking was easy, lots of street parking around the building. read more

Dr Kumetz has been my doctor for a few years now. She is wonderfully gentle, patient and caring. With most doctors you will never have the opportunity to know if they genuinely care, or just see you as another patient. Dr Kumetz has shown beyond her obligation, that she does in fact care about me as a person. I thoroughly appreciate it. In her office, I have always been greeted in a friendly manner and treated with the utmost respect. No matter what my situation or concerns, Dr Kumetz and her staff have always been wonderful and have never made me feel rushed. Oh! And they run on time! It seems difficult to find a doctor who respects my time as much as they require we respect theirs, but she does. I recommend her to all of my female friends who are looking. read more

last year, my wife and I were so excited when we knew about the new baby , we had hard time trying to find a doctor. We went through every Gyn's website you might think of, we went through every single review of all the doctors we already picked. Dr.Kumetz by all means was on the top of the list. After the first appointment with her , I know my how she was onxious about everything and the exams etc , but all these things were found to be nothing with Dr.Kumetz , super super friendly and knowledgable , zero-risk tolerance , informative and supportive. the staff who are working with her are just amazing, you feel that they dont have anything except you to look after, on top on every single details. Today, my wife had an apointment for after giving birth ( five months ) and we are so grateful that we made the right decision by going to Dr.Kumetz. thank you Dr. Kumetz for being next to my wife in early morning that day, being patience and supportive. Dina , Joanna and I cant thank you enough.. read more
