A fantastic doctor! Extremely patient, caring, timely, and trustworthy. Her faculty is also fabulous (Lucy is the best). Thank you!

Dr. Israel is such an amazing Doctor. I am very fortunate to be able to be her patient. I have seen many Drs over the year an no one comes close to the care she provides. read more

Dr Israel is the best and most thorough doctor I have ever been to. to be under her care is a privilege

A total elitist. She won't accept any insurance. Charges $1600 for the first visit insurance will not reimburse you for that. Basically she saying she'll only treat the wealthy because who can afford $1600 for a simple office visit where she'll do everything that every other doctor would do. This is what's wrong with our healthcare system and why we need Medicare for all. It's elitists like this setting up a system of healthcare only for the rich. read more

I've been seeing Dr Israel for 10 years now. I could not recommend her more highly. She is always there to listen and has great bedside manor and she just might have saved my life. read more

Michelle is what you want your doctor to be: uber-smart, caring, thoughtful, and cool. I inherited her after the great Dr. Rudnick retired, and she's surpassed my already high expectations. read more

My wonderful Dr. Paul Rudnick retired and I now see Dr. Michele Israel. She is a kind, thorough and gifted Doctor. She takes time to cover all the issues and I could not be more pleased to have her on my side as I pass my 71 birthday. read more

After searching for a doctor for over a year, I was referred to Dr Isreal. I read a Yelp review saying she wasn't caring of a patient. That was not the case for me. She showed me such compassion, took her time with an overview of my life long medical history. For the first time in a very long time I felt like I was in capable hands. I am very happy that I made my appointment and saw her. Waiting for test results. So far I'm extremely happy with her! read more

We have all been searching for the perfect Doctor- Well, I have found her- Dr. Israel, is (in all my years of dealing with many many Dr.s) the most professional, the most caring, the most nurturing and on top of all that- she is always there for you-- gone are the days of multiple emails, multiple phone calls, multiple hours of waiting for someone --anyone- to get back to you. She and her staff make you a priority - Dr. Israel makes you feel as if you are her only patient, your issues are super important regardless of how small they maybe or how unfounded. I have found her to be so genuinely kind and patient, she listens intently to your most mundane problems, is never dismissive and then fixes it! She makes sure you have the best Specialists. What is probably the most impressive? is just how SMART she is-- her incredible medical knowledge of literally everything! she amazes me with her ability to answer questions on the spot- I have yet to stump her and believe me I try- do yourself a favor if you want the best medical care- she is that one of a kind- ---a rare breed of Doctors who's calling has legitimately been to take care of others- read more

I love Michele Israel. She is kind, thorough and very interested in me as a patient. I highly recommend her to everyone. read more

I am a new patient of Doctor Israel's. I have only had one visit, but I was very impressed. I expected to be hurried through my appointment in 15 minutes, but she spent a lot of time with me answering my questions about a potentially scary health issue. She also called to check up on me over a weekend :) She was very kind and very approachable and made me feel so much better. I feel very fortunate to have found her. Definitely 5 stars! read more

Our experiences with this doctor ended-up being the same as what Iris F, wrote on 11/8/2013. Our experience with Israel was as follows: my step-father had a serious brain injury in late September of 2008. Eventually, about 3 1/2 years or so after his injury, he had become a patient of Israel. She made big promises to always be there for them, would not abandon him, etc. And, at first, she kept her word. She even made a few trips to the house when it was not feasible to bring him there (to see her). So, it seemed she would keep her promise to help him--and my mother--to the very end! So we thought... Well, last year, about August or September, my step-father was having complications to what appeared to be an infection of some sort. So, my mom called Israel and asks for her help. But instead of responding to her call, which ended-up being many calls for help, Israel would not return calls or claim that her assistant never gave her the message that my mother called! (Incidentally, Iris so correctly points out that Israel's assistant is rude and makes access to Israel difficult.) Eventually, Israel finally agreed to make a house call, but would not show up! Didn't even have the courtesy to let them know she wasn't coming! For whatever reason Israel TOTALLY ignored my mom's repeated calls to her for help and apparently abandoned them, even though Israel "promised" to always be there when my step-father needed help! Just as Israel ignored Iris's repeated calls for help for her elderly mother, so did Israel ignore my mother's repeated calls for help! In the meantime, my step-father's infection continued to get worse! Eventually, for another reason, my step-father was taken to UCLA hospital, where we found out that he had an abscess on his prostrate (by now it had been about a month since Israel began ignoring my mother's call for help!) Unfortunately, despite UCLA's best attempt to get rid of the abscess (without performing a general surgery while under general anesthesia, which could not be done due to his brain injury), it could not be removed. Eventually, his lungs had become so compromised due to the infection, my mom had to make the difficult choice to let him go in peace. So, do I blame Israel for his passing? No, I don't. what I blame her for is her TOTAL lack of professionalism, and instead of letting her know in a timely manner that she would no longer treat my step-father, she just simply ignores them. We will never know, to any degree of certainly, that if Israel had been more responsive when first called about his condition, if the outcome would have been different. I only know that she just simply abandon him with out warning, and apparently didn't care as to what happen to him. As Iris F. said, "Pathetic" I double that sentiment! Incidentally, Iris F posted her comment on 11/8/2013, the same day that my mother decided to stop my step-father's treatments, and to allow him to go in peace. He died on 11/12/2013. read more

Dr. Israel is a kind, knowledgeable doctor. She never rushes through an appointment. She always answers an email within a day. I've been going to her for about 15 years. Not only has Dr. I. been an excellent diagnostician and comfort for me... but she also has a vast network of specialists she has referred me to. Thank you, doc, for always being there for me and making me smile with your never-ending support. read more

Dr Michelle Israel is amazing. I don't think she takes insurance so it does end up costing some $ but I really believe its worth it. She spends time talking about questions and concerns and also follows up through email. I highly recommend! She's the best doctor I have ever seen! Thanks Michelle! read more

I find it hard to believe the negative review. Dr. Israel is kind, understanding and listens to your concerns. She explains things clearly and I have never had a problem of her not getting in touch when I called for help. read more

Dr. Michelle has a wonderful bedside manner that would put anyone at ease. I am generally very skeptical of doctors and try to avoid them as much as possible, but she is so caring, and so knowledgable, that I actually love seeing her. I have recommend so many friends and family members, all of whom have been impressed. read more

Dr Israel has been my doctor for over 2 years now and she is the absolute best. Always goes the extra mile and is a great listener and kind as well. read more

This was a dream scenario for someone like me. I don't have the best history with doctors because I've always felt they were desensitized, hasty in diagnosis, and always rushing through their examinations to get to the next patient. However, Dr. Israel, couldn't have been more understanding, compassionate, gentle, kind, and thorough in her examinations while taking her time during each visit. She follows up with my results as soon as she receives them from the lab and takes the time explain everything thoroughly. Not to mention, her bedside manners are simply ideal--she is warm, engaging, and thoughtful--always remembering whatever I express is going on in my life, aside from my medical health and history. I only wish all my doctors could be as terrific and as intelligent as she is. read more

Dr. Israel called me in mid January at 11:30 pm. Guessing she wanted me to take off my post. Looks like she found someone else.

Dr Israel has been my 91 year old mother's dr and mine as well for the last few years and we have always found her to be responsive, professional, delightful and helpful. I have emailed her at all hours of the night with issues and I have always received a prompt email response or follow up phone call. Just know upfront that she does not take Medicare or insurance but if you do have a PPO, the office will give you a claim form and you can bill your own insurance for partial reimbursement. When my mom (who has severe dementia), could not continue with Dr Israel because she needed a Medicare Doctor, Dr Israel graciously referred one to Mom. The truth is it will be a great loss for mom because no one is more compassionate and respectful than Dr Israel. She treated mom like a queen and the new Medicare dr certainly does not have Dr Israel's compassion, warmth or bedside manner. She is a very special lady and takes pride in knowing each and every one of her patients personally and I know that I am in good hands under her excellent care. I know I can find a doctor who is on my PPO plan but I don't want to leave this very special Doctor. read more

Dr. Israel has been my doctor for several years now as a matter of fact now that I in FL I fly all the way back just for my annual physical and if there would be a serious Issue she is the only one I would see. She is thorough and makes you feel calm no matter what the situation is. I am very picky about doctors as most of them have no bedside manner and brush you off - she listens and knows what she is talking about. 10 stars! read more

I have been coming to see Doctor Israel for over 4 years and I can't say enough good things about her. I have been meaning to post a review for a very long time, but I always forget. Anyway - I just got my annual physical yesterday in her new Beverly Hills location. Nice change! Small waiting area. Fabulous attitude by her new staff. Though her location has changed, she remains the same. Very kind and down to earth. I am 60 years old and have to say that Dr. Israel is quite possibly the finest physician I have ever met. She is wonderful. She is cautious and preemptive at the same time. Right on the money. She is a trouble shooter and the cornerstone of my medical care. She takes a personal interest in you and remembers what you tell her. Unlike most doctors, she truly listens and I never feel rushed. You will not find a better Doctor anywhere. The fact that my wife and I can have lunch in Beverly Hills on 'doctor days' is just a bonus. ha In my opinion, Doctor Michele Israel may be the best doctor in LA.She is no longer on Wilshire. Her new location is 435 N Roxbury, in Beverly Hills, CA.310-550-6026 is the new office number. read more
