Dr Berdjis is by far the best PCP I've had after living in LA for 10+ years. I've never really encountered staff issues like those that were described in other reviews (and they seem to be from a few years ago, so maybe the office staff has changed or improved since then) -- they answer calls reliably, have always called me back, and are really good with communication. Like all doctors, Dr Berdjis is very busy, but he doesn't rush or make you feel like a burdon, and he's great at explaining things in a calm, matter-of-fact way. I really like them, and hope you'll have just as good an experience as I have! read more

While I found Dr. Berdjis to be good as a physician, his staff is way below grade. It would take weeks to get my phone calls returned (if ever), my emails went unanswered, and when I finally switched doctors because of it, and needed my records faxed over - I was told that they were - and all they sent were last year's blood tests. I am now three emails in, and four phone calls (with up to 15 minutes hold times before I hang up)in to get my records transferred. Grateful to be out of his care. read more

Office is disorganized, Dr has good personality though office never follows up on anything and appointments you wait even phone tele-meds are never on time. you have to keep calling for anything over and over. read more

I found Dr.Berdjis by doing a simple google search when my mom was discharged from the hospital. Having had horrible experiences with a previous Dr. I was very much on my toes making the appointment and attending it with my Mom. As we spoke to the Dr. I immediately knew we made the right choice. His bedside manners were so great that I knew my mom did not need me to be her advocate for the first time in years! She has been his primary for almost 3 years now and she couldn't be happier. *Also Maria the medical assistant is an Angel! She is so sweet and goes out of her way to make sure the patient is taken care of. Whether it is appointments , paperwork or prescriptions needed she is on top of it and is extremely patient of you and the situation! read more

Top quality care from a doctor who listens to me and is extremely caring. The office staff was nice and even though I was a little late they were able to accommodate me. read more

I recently made this doctor/office my primary care. I think the doctor is great! I have only seem him once so far but he was very helpful. However, the office workers seem disorganized. They never respond to my emails regarding scheduling and its always hard to reach someone. I think some organization will help. read more

Dr Berdjis has been my primary doctor for over a year, and honestly I can say that I'm very pleased with his work. He is very detailed in explaining everything. He has a great staff thy supports him. The wait time is no more than 20-25min. read more

This doctor became my primary care physician. I told him that I was an insomniac and that I need Xanax to sleep, This doctor prescribed Valium and it didn't work. I mailed him two letters pleading for him to give me the Xanax again. He ignored both of my letters and never called me back. This is a terrible doctor, find another one. read more

Dr. Berdjis is a Phenomenal doctor. He really truly cares and made me feel in great care under his expert advise. He was my doctors stand in while my doctor (Dr Kamara, whom is also a great doctor) was away on vacation. Dr. Berdjis treated me with amazing care and spent time with me, and answered every phone call promptly, to really help me and guide me through a scary situation of covid. I would strongly recommend Dr. Berdjis if you want the best care possible. I feel very lucky to have had him be my doctor through covid and now for any health care needs I have in the future. Dr. Berdjis is a stellar doctor offering outstanding and tremendous expert care. Thank you, Dr. Berdjis :)) -Julie H read more

note this review was posted for a friend so is nt comuter savvy... I have been going to Dr. Berdjis for just over 2 years through a recommendation from one of his patients after losing my Kaiser insurance in 2017. I live in Bakersfield & the drive is 125 miles one way , but he is worth it. Dr. Berdjis has been a God send. Being in pain for a decade with chronic gout. Kaiser could not put their finger on the problem, so they treated the painful symptoms temporarily with hard meds & Percocet . Dr. Berdjis, after doing some bloodwork came up with a hypothesis and put me on 2 meds. I have been gout & pain free for the past 2 years ! I try and eat right too as I never want to go back to crawling on the floor in pain again as I did before. I went from taking 30 minutes to get out of bed or staying weeks in bed in pain and I can now awake & hit the floor running ! Yes I have the aches & pains of any 63 year old man , but I no longer have to use crutches to get around. Dr. Berdjis in essence, gave me my life back . Dr. Berdjis office costs are also more than reasonable for someone on SSI. I can not thank this sweet man enough for his help & his genuine care, and for giving me all the time I need to explain what's going on in my formally painful world . BTW, I have Kaiser again and still went back to Dr. Berdjis despite his services not being covered under Kaiser. I respect his opinion & knowledge that much ! Thank you Dr. Berdjis ......

One of the most friendliest and nicest staff as well as the Dr himself very knowledgeable and one of the most patient Drs I've ever seen. Definitely 100 % recommend read more

Three words- Laser Hair Removal. Dr. Berdjis is a board certified family practice physician with privileges at several hospitals including Cedars. That's how I met him. He's one of the doctors I work with in my territory on the west side. I became his patient when I decided to visit his Laser Hair Removal Clinic. As a Latina (Colombian and Spanish) with light skin and dark hair, well, my obsession with hair removal started at around age 14! I have had permanent hair removal via laser on various parts of my body for about three years now- on and off at different medical spas. I take long breaks between treatments. If I didn't I might be done by now! Anyway, I came to see Dr. Berdjis because he personally told me about his state of the art laser that does not require numbing cream or gel. The technology is already part of the actual treatment. Before he zaps you, a cooling spay hits the skin and softens the pain. Don't get too excited- it still hurt!! But it was less messy. Another selling point to his laser is that it can treat all skin types and skin tones. For years laser hair removal has been exclusive to light skin only. His laser can treat all skin tones! Dr. B. is very professional, sweet and he has that impressive laser! His office manager Fay is an absolute doll! I love her. They often run really great deals making the price for these treatments very affordable. No prepaid packages needed. This is just more proof that beauty is pain, but hey! No pain, No gain. read more

The best Dr. I have had in a very long time! I have a Very rare Brittle Bone D. I was born with 2000 broken bones 98 operations all very serious 10 to 14 hours each. oi.com check it out I was in a rest home two years & he was my Dr. there finely was getting out I asked him can I keep you said yes I was Very lucky too have him! in every way He's a Great Doctor read more

Beverly Hills Family Medical Center This review is long overdue. For the past 9 years I have been a patient of the exceptional Comprehensive Liver Transplant Team at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (CSMC)... and I thank my lucky stars... that the extraordinary Peiman Berdjis, M.D. was selected as my Primary physician. He has always been insightful and referred me to the best-of-the-best dedicated specialist at CSMC. Furthermore, his staff has always been professional, accommodating and cheerful... especially "Nicole" and up-on-the-scale "Lilly". read more

He's the best doctor. Sandra and Katarina are very helpful and knowledgeable nurses. I'm very happy with laser and their skin products . I listen to their advice and I trust them. prices are affordable. everything is very clean and everyone is very kind. All I need in one place! read more

Dr Berdjis spends time with his patients and explains everything. He is thorough and professional. I am very happy he is my doctor. I recommend him 100% read more

I have been with Doctor Berdjis for years now. He really does care about his patients and takes as much time as you need. I am often hospitalized and he is the best doctor to have in the hospital!!! read more

Dr. Berdjis is great. He is very caring and knowledgable. I would say his front staff isnt on the ball. Sometimes they take days to return a simple call. They are not prompt in following up when they say they will. Other than that the doctor is a good man. read more

Great doctor. Always available and returns calls quickly. Office staff is friendly and overall just enjoy coming to this office.

Had my very first visit here today after not having a physical exam over 3 years... I had schedule an appt. and came to find out that I will not be seeing Dr. Berdjis but a nurse practitioner (thought it would been nice to know that prior to my appointment) - I was however treated very nice and staff at the reception area were also very courteous! I really like it here and will be staying as a client here! The only downside is that they don't validate parking and you might have to find yourself paying $7- 20 depending how long your consultation is. Overall great experience here and they made me feel comfortable and that is what matters! read more

See all

My family has been seeing Dr. Berdjis for several years. Even when our insurance changed, we continue to see him and pay cash for our visits. His bedside manner is wonderful. He spends time listening and caring. I highly recommend him. But, I would definitely suggest you see him personally and no other in his office. And Jen at the front is wonderful and smart! read more

He is extremely caring and knowledgeable. He apparently takes his OATH very seriously and is actually focused on his patient's health rather than what insurance card you are holding. He takes the time to listen about your issues and then takes the time to explain your situation and the course of action. My mom is his patient and I am going to start going to him as well. if he is open to new patients and you are looking for a family doctor he should be on top of your list. read more

I Called here because I was recommended by a close friend. And The experience I had was annoying, irritating, frustrating! I talked to one of the nurses, by the name of Nisha. She kept me on hold for almost 30 minutes, and to top it off she was very rude. Nisha was unable to adequately answer any of my questions. Afterwards I Asked her if I can please speak to her manager. This was even worse! The manager by the name of Jennifer was in nowhere close to speaking to me like a manager. She was unable to answer any of my questions she was as well rude and I would never recommend this place. Please double check with other patients,better recommendations, or call before coming. If this is how I'm treated over the phone I cannot imagine how they would treat me in person! They need help on their communication with others. read more

I love the doctors here. Seriously they actually talk to the patients to understand not only the physical ailments but the emotional side effects. That said, the office staff is discombobulated. I have insurance that needs referrals to get a specialist. I get there is paperwork and such but nobody calls me back. I have to pester them to get the information. Someone needs to teach them customer service from the phone and follow ups with patients. In person they are amazing but following up on patient needs is severely lacking. If the office staff stepped up their game this place would shine!!! read more

Really great doctor. Nice guy, cares about his patients. But the absolute worst, most disorganized, rudest staff on the planet. Came here for over 5 years, but I'm done. Too many other really good doctors that have excellent support staff. Go elsewhere. read more

The doctor and nurse practitioner are lovely, but the front desk staff is completely incompetent. They are nice and helpful in person, but there were months of confusion regarding my paperwork and insurance authorization. I had a mass that I needed to get checked out (to make sure it wasn't cancerous). Here is what happened: Authorization went through for X-ray, but they never sent over my paperwork. Authorization took three weeks to go through for my MRI, until they realized they had been sending over the wrong patient's information. They sent me to a surgeon who didn't specialize in what I needed. Then they sent me to a doctor was no longer practicing. Then they sent me to the correct doctor, but I couldn't make an appointment because they never would send over my MRI results to the doctor. I had to take it over myself! Then, I had to wait for another authorization BECAUSE THEY AUTHORIZED SURGERY ON THE WRONG LEG. I'm so ready to be done. It's insane how incompetent they are. Months. This took months. I even sent them cheesecake as a way to get on their good side. Didn't work. Stay away from this place if you want anything to be done in a professional and prompt manner. read more

I have been going to this office for over 10 years, There is I think at least 4 different languages spoken, one of them is English so I was ready to go. The part that this is a private practice when the Doctor and a NP are independent of any corporate rules allows sometimes a big plus! read more

Let me preface by saying my experience with Dr. Berdjis, the nurse practioner and their medical student has been fantastic. Great bedside manner, patient in explaining processes and helpful. However I cannot say the same for the receptionists/nurses. The front desk staff is nice to you when you arrive, however they are incompetent on the phone and either forget you're there or treat you like you are a nuisance to them. I have arrived 15-30mins early for each appointment, only to wait 5hrs my first appointment and 92mins for my 2nd. The nurses are not helpful and though Dr.Berdjis may be competent and a good doctor, it's nearly impossible to determine who exactly to lay the blame on as I can't imagine it's solely the staff. There does however appear to be zero communication between them and the doctor which results in: urgent phone calls not returned, messages not being relayed, test results never being delivered or followed up on, appointment times not kept by the schedulers and absolutely no desire to help patients in any capacity. Last week I was waiting for critical test results (from over 2 weeks ago) and after calling for 5 days in a row and being told the doctor would call me back, by Friday no one had called me back and I had to call 3x before the nurse told me that I had to come in to get my results. In my experience only bad news is delivered in person, so you can imagine how upset and scared I was going into the weekend to hear that something was wrong and I wouldn't know for 4 days!!??? After calling 3 more times I finally got the nurse practioner who was kind enough to give me some answers and out my mind at rest. Ok have to add more, 5/25 I show up 15mins early for my appointment to be the first of 8ppl to wait outside the office that claims to open at 830am. At 920 the first employee shows up and over the past 20mins the rest of the staff EXCEPT the doctor, who I apparently have to pay $45 (co-pay) PLUS 2+hrs parking to wait to see about a new medication. I've been here an hour and still no doctor in the house. This place is a joke!!! I generally give people the benefit of the doubt but this is one of the most poorly run businesses I have ever seen. read more

So let's start off by saying, I haven't been to the doctors in over 3-4 years. Last time I went it was a total nightmare of I hated my last doctors and they were either too expensive ( without insurance ) or just not knowledgable. Dr, Pieman is very knowledgeable and thorough, amazing bedside manner, his staff is friendly, fast and very professional. It does not feel like most doctors offices where they are rushing you in and out. Parking is a little scarce, but I walk there, so... Not a problem for me! Haha. I had an all around great experience. read more

I've been a patient with dr Berdjis since 2013 and he has been by far the best doctor I've had. His always concern about your health and not only that his very knowledgeable in every aspect. He is beyond great on what he does. I have nothing but good things to say about him. I've gone through so much this past 2 years and had a cardiac arrest ( and im only 36yrs old) and had about 5 back surgeries and believe me when I tell you that Dr Berdjis went to my hospital and saw me every single day to check on how I was doing. I've never had a doctor that was so much concern about their patients but dr Berdjis is one of a kind dr. He won't leave the room until he finishes answering all your questions and not only that I take my husband with me to my appointments and God knows my husband ask a million of questions but dr Berdjis is always there to answer them. I am definitely bringing my kids here when they are a little older. Im giving 5 stars to him if I could ill give more. I highly recommend this doctor if your seeking for one. read more

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE SERVICE!!! If you don't mind waiting in the waiting room for an hour than to be taken in to another room and waiting another 30 minutes than this is the place for you. My appointment was at 3pm and so was for another 4 other patients, I wasn't taken in until 4pm than waited for the dr. to come and see me for another 30 min, oooh but they expect you to PAY upfront before being seen by the dr. and they seem to always be in a big hurry to get PAID. SO I WALKED OUT , On top of that you gotta pay for parking. THEY DO NOT VALIDATE PARKING. I received a call from them apologizing. Ok I went back. BIG MISTAKE same problem an hour and forty minute wait. FORGET IT NOW LOOKING FOR A NEW DR. read more

Called. "Hello, Dr. Berdjis office can you please hold." No asking of whether it was urgent or an emergency. Proceeded to be put on hold for over 10 minutes. Hung up. Awesome. read more

I've been twice and on both occasions I waited 2hrs before being called, despite having an appointment. On my second visit they took a blood test, but rang a week later to let me know they had lost my blood and I needed to go back in. I will never return to this practice. read more

I went to Dr Berdjis to take a simple yearly blood test, when my lab sent blood test result to his office ,I called 3 times and talked to Dr's secretary and asked for copy of test result with no avail,after 2 weeks I went to Dr's office and asked for copy of my blood test result , I was told he hasn't get chance to look at my test result yet !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! finally someone brought my result and suprise suprise my prostate antigen agent (PSA) had jumped from normal 1 from year before to over 11 which is very dangerous and could be result of acute prostate cancer,he even hadn't have time to see my test result .save your life DO NOT GO THERE read more

I have been a patient since Nov.2014.I was struck by a vehicle and after I was released from the hospital,I was recommended to Doctor Berdjis. My knee became filled with fluid and Doctor Berdjis removed the build up of fluid. I was rather apprehensive,but while I was laying down the doctor insertrd a syringe into my knee and drained the fluid. He did such a great job,I was lying there waiting for him to do the procedure.The doctor held up the syringe filled with the fluid form my knee and never felt any pain or discomfort.I have been to his office numeous times and the receptionist and his office staff were always polite and friendly.I highly recommend Dr. Berdjis to anyone in the L.A area needing a great doctor who really knows the medical needs each and every patient requires. Rod Brown read more

Dr. Berdjis is a knowledgeable and warm doctor. He is great at accommodating sick appointments.

Extremely horrible service. I went to the doctor 9 days ago with a bad cough and sinus. I am still battling with the front desk people to call in my prescription. I was told it was called in, I even drove to the Pharmacy, waited in line, to find out they never called it in. Then I spent the entire day calling for updates and they never called it in. Now 9 days later I call my insurance company for a refund since I need to find a new doctor.... I find out they called in the prescription to a pharmacy far away Friday around 4PM. (Its Wed.) but never called me to inform me. Im sure I have placed over 20 calls now and Im still on a waiting list for someone to assist me and hopefully call me back. As of today... I have been waiting 2.5 hours and was told they are too busy to assist me at this time. Do I keep bugging them or do I call my bank and cancel that co payment transaction? Since I never received help and my cough is now worst and its affecting my business. My scare if I let this cough go on too long it could become serious. read more
