Be careful, she will find a tongue tied in your baby. She will talk about the latch and the pain... and it will end up in being a tongue tie! And she will cut your baby with absolutely no reason. Ask for a second opinion. Dr Elias attend more tongue ties than flu. She is a very nice lady who runs a business around newborns and tongue ties. I don't recommend. read more

HIGHLY recommended pediatrician! We first met Dr. Elias at the hospital where our first baby boy was born. We did not have a pediatrician selected at that time but were recommended to Dr. Elias by our OB/GYN. The second we met her, we instantly knew she was the right choice for us and baby. She was very warm and kind with her soft spoken voice. Her staff is great and very polite. We have been with Lighthouse Pediatrics for about 6months now and have recommended this office to multiple friends. You will not wait more than 5-10mins and never feel rushed during your visit . They also provide great prenatal seminars and help to answer any questions you have. We are definetly happy with Dr. Elias and her staff. read more

One of kindest and most patient doctors I have ever met. Hope to have both my boys going to her until they are grown.

We came to Dr. Elias after our previously planned pediatrician just didn't work out. We are sooooo glad that we switched! Dr. Elias is very compassionate and caring, with great bedside manner with our little one. She has been extremely helpful in getting a.large number of labs ordered and several great referrals to get a full health baseline for our newly adopted son. She makes herself very available and is an amazing parter for us in the healthcare of our child. We really like that she isnt quick to prescribe unless necessary. She really is fantastic. read more

By far Dr. Elias is the best pediatrician in the South Bay if not in all of Los Angeles! My wife and I were catapulted into a situation that is completely unheard of, we have found ourselves not only young grandparents but raising twin boys from their discharge from hospital! Raising them, for now, for my daughter who lives in Las Vegas. It's been challenging, but rewarding in knowing that the time that we have them will offer my daughter the opportunity to be in the best of mental, physical and the ability to put the boys best interest as her priority in life. We are so grateful for the love, support, professionalism of Dr. Elias and her staff. Just simply amazing! My wife and I are eternally grateful! read more

I love taking my daughter to this office! I really enjoy the new remodel. Doctor Elias and her assistants are very knowledgeable, especially Ali my daughter loves her! This will forever be my favorite pediatrics office. Thank you! read more

Forcing vaccinations. Put the health if the child aside, during a time of illness, to forcibly put vaccinations in baby.

My son has been coming since he was born seeing Dr. Elias who we both adore. The nurses and front staff are always polite. I hope to keep my son here for a very long time. They have an a awesome team and it is always a pleasure to come in. Scheduling is very accommodating as well. read more

Love love love the doctors here! They are all amazing and patient with my children. Super sad to see Dr. Hakim leave :( I moved an hour away from office and I refuse to find a new office. Won't go anywhere else. Dr. Elias and Dr. Savitt are awesome! Thank you Thank you! As good health care these days are hard to find! read more

Omg! I absolutely fell in love with this place the moment I walked in. Staff complete friendly, wait time was less then 10 minutes, and Dr. Elias was outstanding. I was with a prior pediatrician prior to Dr. Elias and had to leave because I was feeling pressured about my baby's vaccines and literally told me my baby was gonna Die! I mean who says that! And Dr. Elias gave me a choice, and told me me to let her know when I was ready! Wow. Completely different attitude then my previous pediatrician! And if I may say I was amazed by Dr Elias wore gloves, equipment was clean something the prior pediatrician did not do! Loved it here. A must see Dr. Elias thank you! :) read more

My son has been going here to see Dr. Elias since he was born. The staff is always very friendly and informative.

The only reason we stopped going is bc we moved across country. I wish I could've taken them with me. The entire staff was warm, responsive and accommodating. read more

I would like to thank Dr. Lydia Elias for a wonderful free seminar for moms and dads to be. For three hours Dr.Elias and a lactation consultant Terry Gass shared very valuable information with us. I learned so much and my anxiety is pretty much gone. A very generous gesture from both lecturers and the Lighthouse pediatrics. It's obvious how knowledgeable they are and kind and supportive on top of that. Thank you so very much! read more

Dr Elias is such a wonderful doctor. We had my daughters tongue and upper lip tie clipped by her. I did a lot of research prior to choosing her and I am so glad we picked her. She is so calm, sweet with babies, understanding and patient with all of your questions. She has kids so she gets it. One of the most important things when getting a tongue tie fixed is the follow up visits. They can reattach very quickly. But if you go to her she will make sure you are doing your exercises and that things are healing correctly. I just wish she could be our regular pediatrician but unfortunately her office is to far from us. read more

Dr. Savitt is the best! Staff is friendly and convenient scheduling. We always get great care!

I am a first time mom and was very picky about choosing a pediatrician. Dr. Elias has far exceeded my expectations. She is very accessible and returns calls quickly. Her office staff is very helpful as well. I am sure I have asked some very obvious questions (first time mom here!), but she always answers my questions thoroughly and with compassion. When we are in the office, there is hardly any wait time and she is willing to give you plenty of time during your appointment so as not to rush you. She is also very caring and good with my son whenever we are there. I definitely recommend her. read more

Dr. Elias came by a word of mouth recommendation. I am so grateful to have found her.My daughter has been going to the same dr. since birth and i as nervous about the change. Dr. Elias was sensitive to my young daughters extremely early prepubescent body issues. My daughter was very comfortable and the Dr. was careful to explain everything so she understood as well.I highly recommend her ! read more

It was my first time and really liked this clinic. Staff was very nice. It was quick in and out and doctor answered every question I had without rushing. read more

We have been on a tour of pediatricians and so far dr. Elias might just be our favorite. She is not only patient and took her time with us, she specializes in many things and was very thorough! I like that she is someone who continues to learn and teach her patients. I felt so much better after leaving her office. She had everything I look for in a Dr and I highly recommend her. read more

Dr. Elias performed a frenotomy/frenulectomy procedure for my 10 week old daughter and I am so grateful to her. I chose her because she has follow up appointments included with the procedure fee. It was good to have those weekly followups because the procedure is the first hurdle, the stretches (and doing them properly!) are the main way to success. She was so caring, kind and gentle with our baby. I wish we lived close by because I would definitely choose her as my daughter's pediatrician in a heartbeat! If you're getting a frenotomy/frenulectomy procedure done here, don't hesitate! Dr. Elias will help and guide you through it. read more

Dr Lydia is one of the best pediatricians in the area. Ive done my research and called many places and trust me, she is the one you want to care for your baby. She is nice, patient, and keeps her self updated on ALL the current information. For example: most pediatricians will tell you to start feeding your baby solid foods at 4 months. That is a huge no no for your babies health. She informed us on the importance of starting solids after 6 months. When I was having trouble breast feeding, she made sure I had the number to her lactation consultant, Terry Glass. Who by the way is also fantastic. She is able to answer all my questions with the most educated responses. And best of all, she loves her patients and loves her job read more

Today we had our first visit with Dr. Elias and everything went great. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Dr. Elias is warm, welcoming and has a great bedside manner. She greeted us with the biggest smile and was so sweet. I'm so happy we found her. read more

I was referred to this Clinic by my sister who takes my niece there and she always has said that the Dr there is amazing and as well as the staff , as I had my first office visit recently with my 4 year old son , I would have to say I was very pleased with the whole visit , up from having so much parking space and not having to struggle with parking , from the staff being so friendly and helpful, they made my son feel so comfortable, and as for the Dr Elias , first time meeting her and she is so kind , sweet , humble, she made us feel like family . I don't usually post reviews unless I had a horrible experience or great experience. But as soon I walked out that office , first thing came to mind was to post a review for the staff and Dr Elias . First impressions matter to me. I always look up reviews and if I read negative reviews on some , I always try to give them the benefit of the doubt. But this place is AWESOME! Hands down . I hope my review helps any moms or dads searching for a new clinic for their kids ! I would definitely recommend this office read more

Dr. Elias is the best! She is very patient and even returns calls the same day! My 2 boys and my niece are her patients.

Dr. Elias came by word of recommendation by my OB/GYN. I visited her right before I had my son and knew right away what a warm and wonderful person she is. She was also able to visit us in the hospital when we had our son. She is genuinely compassionate and caring. She is so great with my son. She always available to answer all of my questions. Her office staff are wonderful too. They are very kind and helpful and great with my son. I definitely recommend her! We love Dr. Elias!! read more

This place is wonderful. I wish I was coming since my son was born, but I just started coming after his 1 year appointment. I couldn't believe that after calling Dr. Elias on a Sunday at 11pm due to son having a fever and strange breathing she called me back so quickly. Dr. Elias is great! She is very friendly and personable. The nurse and front desk staff are so nice and welcoming as well. I love how quick the appointment was and all my questions were answered. This is what a doctor facility and staff should be like. Don't settle for less! read more

Dr. Elias is simply amazing. My son was only 10 days old when our Pediatrician discovered his tongue tie. As any new mom, I was extremely nervous about the procedure, but Dr. Elias has a very calming personality. She did the procedure in office with follow up in a week- my son is now one years old and I couldn't be happier we did it early on. Thank you Dr. Elias and staff! read more

Really love this place, I have seen every Dr for my daughter, now 15 months. Dr Elias saw her since the day she was born. They always find a way to squeeze you in for emergencies which I truly appreciate as a working mom. Def schedule appointments in advance, Dr Elias fills up quick. I have called after hours and there was always a Dr. Available on call to answer my questions and offer advice. The team was recommended by a friend to us. read more

Dr Elias is wonderful. We are so thankful we found her and love her services. She is knowledgable, patient and thorough.

She did a marvelous job on my son's tongue tie release. I had both of my kids checked by my doctor who did my posterior tongue tie release (turns out we are just a tongue tied family) and she did the better work. Do the follow up visits after the procedure with her. We did Cranial sacral and chiropractic visits as well which may have helped healing. As an adult those visits made a world of difference for me! If you are on the fence thinking laser is better that was not our experience. Just go here and get it done right the first time! read more

Both our kids have gone to Dr Elias since birth and we love their practice. We would definitely recommend them.

I absolutely love Dr. Elias best pediatrician I've ever had for my kids I have a 5 yr, 9m. Old and they both enjoy there Dr visits. She always makes her self available for same day appointments and returns my calls at any time. I would strongly recommend her as your family Dr. Very clean office and the staff is super nice. read more

This review is very late but I brought my daughter there once for a physical to get paperwork filled out for K/1st grade. My daughter is pretty much scared from this first visit. Dr Elias's exam was completely I inappropriate for a 6 year old child. The office was also filthy. If you need a simple tongue tie laser go to Dr Pinto in Beverly Hills. She is the sweetest and the best. If you are looking for a pediatrician please go elsewhere. read more

Dr. Elias is fantastic! She is patient and shows how much she cares about each of her patients. There is very rarely a wait for an appointment and she gives you time to explain about your child's needs and concerns. read more

Same day appointment when my child is sick, never rushes, always answers any questions. Absolutely recommend and looking forward to my second child being cared for by her since she did such a wonderful job with my first and as a first time parent with so many questions and worries, having her care so much just made it easier. read more

Love Dr Elias! She is so sweet and very caring and gentle. The nurses are sweet too. Two thumbs up. I can trust them with my baby! I like that if I have a question for Dr, I can call and if she is busy, she returns the call by the end of day. read more

Great doctors and nurses are wonderful. They all know my son and I love how sweet everyone is when we come in.

Had a great first experience. Dr. Elias and her nurses were VERY kind and patient with my 4yr old son. She answered all of our questions and there were many. Never rushed and was very sweet with both my children. Definitively a plus that she has 3 young children herself including a 4 yr old son like myself so was able to sympathize with my sons behavioral challenges. Great! read more

Dr. Elias is so compassionate! I had so many questions regarding everything from breastfeeding, rashes, spit-up, and vaccines. She is so patient in explaining everything in a way that I would understand. She performed the tongue and lip tie surgery on my baby at 10 days old. I was very skeptical at first, whether it was necessary, but I am so glad we decided to go through with it. My baby feeds extremely well and has been exclusively breastfed for four months now! Wait times...what what times?!?! The staff does a great job in scheduling patients accordingly and as soon as I would check in, I would be assigned a room within 5 minutes! My baby was weighed and measured immediately by a medical assistant. Dr. Elias would enter the room within minutes and be very thorough in her examination. She is amazing! Any child would truly be privileged to have her as a doctor. I wish that I could have continued to have Dr. Elias as our pediatrician, but since I resigned from my job, I no longer have Blue Shield PPO and her office does not accept medi-cal. It is very unfortunate my baby can no longer have her as her doctor but I hope we can go back to her in the future. read more

Lighthouse Pediatrics was recommend to me by my insurance company, my daughter doctor Dr. Elias is amazing. Dr. Elias visited my newborn at the hospital and is super caring about my daughter's health. Dr. Elias performed the tongue tie and lip tie surgery on my baby girl days after birth and my baby has been breastfeeding much better ever since. Best pediatrician for my daughter my husband and I are very happy and will not go elsewhere read more
