The best of the best OB-GYN's. He is so caring, kind, and takes his time. Truly the best OB/GYN out there! He is beyond caring, thorough, and diligent in his work. I cannot recommend him enough. Amazing bedside manner and wonderful care. read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Richmond. He was there every step of the way for my pregnancy and his office goes above and beyond to handle anything you need. They can always squeeze you in on a pinch, and you are well taken care of by his office staff (Theresa & Wendy!) When my husband and I first met Dr. Richmond, we were nervous and paranoid first time parents. It meant a lot to us that he promised that he would be there to deliver my baby and sure enough, he was! He always took the time to carefully explain things and answer any questions I had. Thanks to him, I had a safe vaginal delivery and a speedy recovery - not to mention a healthy baby boy. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an OBGYN at Cedars. read more

Richmond Harvey, MD - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

He is by far the best OB-GYN I have been seen by. He is so caring, attentive, empathetic, informative and pretty much anything and everything you could ask for. I am just thankful that I got to meet him. He is one of those doctors you wish that would never retire. read more

The receptionist is rude! And I waited over an hour to see the doctor on lunch break. Wouldn't recommend going if your in a rush or not in the mood to be talked down to. Parking is $2.00 per 15 minutes....so expect to pay $15.00 for parking. read more

Richmond Harvey, MD - Where the rude people are! Haha - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This address is wrong. It said 240 East but the address is actually 285 west. I walked around for 40 minutes trying to find the place. I went to the wrong office and had to awkwardly talk with the receptionist about why I'm at the wrong place. I finally found the correct office by chance wandering around and noticing the name on the wall. When I first came in, they said they need to check my insurance and will call me back that same day. They didn't so I called the next day to verify and they said they'll do it over the weekend and will call on Monday. They didn't so I called on A week later and they said they'll let me know when the person is back from lunch. They didn't so I called a week later and the person say they'll check immediately and call me back in a few hours. They didn't so I called back the next day and they just said "yeah you're covered" ... why did it take so long? I've never had to do this much work to schedule an appointment read more

Hands down the best, nicest, and most knowledgeable doctor in LA! Dr. Richmond was highly recommended by my good friend whose twins were delivered by the doctor 18 years ago. If it weren't for him, those twins will not be here (their mom's words, not mine). He was also highly recommended by 2 of my coworkers. We love Dr. Richmond. Our whole pregnancy and post natal experiences are just very pleasant, wonderful and awesome. He has excellent bed side manners and he listens! I couldn't have wished for a better doctor. My husband and I can't stop telling each other how wonderful Dr. Richmond is, we were so blessed that he has not yet retired, hahaha. I hope he is still working when I am in my 2nd pregnancy. read more

Dr. Richmond is the best! He is the kindest, most patient, professional and responsive doctor I have had the fortune to know. He stays up to date on current practices and treats every patient's situation as unique. He responds to patient concerns 24/7 and recognizes when a patient requires out of the box care. He has been there for me in emergency situations, pregnancy and childbirth included. Yes, he is the gynecologist and obstetrician you want by your side! read more

I have to completely agree with the woman above. I wish more people would come forward to speak about what a HORRIBLE, disgrace this office is. They are completely negligent and have made so many mistakes that my head is spinning. All I can say is PLEASE do yourself a favor and do not, I repeat do not make the same mistake I did by leaving your health in the hands of someone who is so incompetent. His staff is worse!!! If you want more information send me a private message and I will tell you the experience. In addition feel free to check but he has been written up for negligence and had disciplinary actions taken against him. STAY FAR AWAY!!! read more

This review is mainly against Dr. Richmond's staff and not him (although I also question his practice, which I will explain later). However, I think a staff is just as important as the doctor. If they are not doing their jobs, records can be misplaced, mistakes can be made, and billing can be totally screwed up. I experienced issues with my records once, but it didn't end up being a disaster (thank God). What I'm most upset about is their billing process. I was in their office over 1 year ago for some testing and procedures. At the time, I was on HMO and it was explained to me that each procedure would be paid for in total. I was in his medical group at Cedars Sinai, and it was all good. Today, I open my mail and receive a bill from his office for over $800 for procedures that happened OVER 1 year ago!!! It wasn't a past due statement, all the charges were listed as current. Which means, they were just getting around to processing items from that long ago!?! Whoever heard of such nonsense? Normally, a doctor bills the insurance, and within a month (2 max) they know whether or not it will be covered. The difference is then billed to the patient. That's how it works people, in any normal medical office! You don't wait over a year to collect billing! It's just BAD BUSINESS. I called to discuss with their billing lady (don't know her name) and was very patient at first, describing that there must be a mistake because I had HMO and it should have been a $0 balance, and even if it weren't a $0 balance I should have been billed long ago. She was absolutely no help, and gave me the typical "call your insurance, it is an issue with Blue Shield, you are not in the correct medical group, blah blah blah". At this point I became very angry and told her it was ridiculous how they were running their business and that I would NOT be taking care of this, and I would NOT be paying it. I'm anal about my finances (I'm a CPA for goodness sakes). So, of course I was bluffing and I called Blue Shield ASAP. They explained that yes, I was correct that I should have paid nothing. They referred me over to the Cedars Sinai medical billing department. The lady I spoke to here was VERY helpful. She knew it was mistake and immediately called Dr. Richmond's billing (I assume the same lady I just yelled at 30 minutes before) and came to the conclusion that yes, it should be a $0 balance and their billing people screwed it up and will reprocess. So basically, Dr. Richmond's staff is completely unreliable and unprofessional and I would NEVER recommend anyone give them their medical business. Back to Dr. Richmond, the procedures mentioned above were done based on his recommendations. I recently went to my new lovely OBGYN (Dr. LaTanya Hines in Pasadena) and she told me the procedure wasn't necessary for my condition. It was an extreme choice to make by the doctor. I hated to hear this, especially since it was quite painful and took awhile to recover from. Knowing it wasn't needed? Wow, I'm so glad I left his care. Never again! read more

People are often hasty to complain before they compliment so I feel like I need to take a moment and tell you all how AMAZING this doctor and his staff are. From the moment my fiancé and I met with Dr. Richmond we knew he was going to be our doctor for the delivery of our first child. He took his time and explained the entire process, the appointments, anything and everything. He's very warm with a great bedside manner. The staff are just as great! His lead nurse is a gem! When she did my initial blood draw I didn't feel a thing. My second appointment had to be pushed back a few hours because the doctor was called into ER surgery. Unfortunately I didn't get the message due to the phone number being written incorrectly. Oh well. I was more than happy to come back when the doctor was out of surgery. These things happen! To those complaining about insurance... Know your coverage. I work in healthcare and know that 90% of people don't know or understand their coverage. Don't expect the doctors billing coordinator to do it for you and don't jump down their throats if something isn't covered. read more

Dr Richmond performed the circumcision for our son Milo. He came highly recommended from our OBGYN Dr. Arie Schwartz. We had absolutely no billing problems, and the staff were lovely and attentive. The reason I am leaving this review however, is not to comment on the other two negative reviews, but to relate my experience to anyone considering Dr. Richmond to perform circumcision for their son. Our experience was great. As a new Dad, I was apprehensive about the operation, but my wife was adamant, and after weighing the options I decided that for health reasons it was a better way to go. Dr Richmond explained every step of the procedure beforehand so I knew exactly what to expect. I was told that many Dads/Moms actually pass out during the operation, or find it incredibly hard to be in the room while the baby is screaming. Expect your baby to scream - prepare for it mentally and you'll be fine. Dr. Richmond explained that its actually the rolling back of the foreskin that babies find most objectionable, and not the cutting. the baby feels little or no pain once the anesthetic is applied. I chose to stay in the room to support my son, and make sure he felt safe and secure. I knelt next to the operating table and put my head against his, cradling his head with my hand, and talking to him through the whole 5 minute operation. I simply focused on him, and didn't watch, which worked for me. No passing out or dizziness. The next week went exactly as expected. Dr. Richmond directed us on how to care for Milo at home, and what to expect in terms of scabbing, redness, etc. After about ten days, he was completely healed. Everything looks good down there, and Milo doesn't remember a thing. Dr. Richmond deserves better than a 1 star review because of some billing problems. If you live in California, then you gotta get used to the fact that office staff are not always going to get it right. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. Richmond, and had no problems with the office staff whatsoever. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Richmond since I moved to LA four years ago. He's nice, non-judgmental, and always makes me feel comfortable. He inserted my IUD and I've had no problems. The staff is helpful as well. read more

I haven't always been the easiest patient. I can be very neurotic and stubborn and it's not uncommon for me to walk into an appointment with a running list of anxieties, some of which are probably very irrational. However, in over ten years of being Dr. Richmonds patient, I have never been met with anything but a gentle smile, a patient ear, and a plethora of knowledge. Simply said, he's the best doctor I've ever had. I distinctly remember a moment early in my pregnancy last year when I shared some of my concerns with him and I will never forget what he said to me. He told me that if anything should come up, he'd be right there with me and we'd get though it together. I went on to have a very healthy pregnancy and gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on Christmas Eve. Because of him, I was able to really enjoy my pregnancy without much worry. I felt safe and taken care of and it made a difference. I'll always be grateful. Now about his team.... Teresa, his nurse, is ah-mah-zing. I love her and you will love her too. She's not someone who sugar coats things for you. She tells you what you need to hear. Thank god for that and thank god for her. She's a beautiful human being. Wendy is awesome. She works at the front desk and does all the administrative stuff. She's a busy girl who gets stuff doooooooone. She's very sweet and always on top of it. Love her too. read more

Great first impression! The phone staff was kind and helpful booking my appointment, the intake when I arrived was quick and easy with hardly any delay like at most doctors offices. Once in the room the nurse helping out was super friendly easy to talk to and understanding of all my special needs. Then once Dr. Richmond came in he was kind and warm demeanor :) very important when picking a gyno. He's exam was quick and painless (and usually I'm a wuss at these things). Dr Richmond also took the time to review my health conditions and go over all of my questions and concerns. I am very much so looking forward to my follow up! Thanks Dr Richmond & Staff! read more

I started seeing Dr. Richmond in 2014. He was my gynecologist who I saw about once a year. I liked him because his office was within walking distance from my house and my office and he always had appointments available that were convenient. Cut to 2018 when I thought, maybe, I was pregnant. I went in for an ultrasound to confirm what three pregnancy tests had said. That's when I found out i was pregnant with twins. It was at that visit that Dr. Richmond, Theresa, and Wendy joined my life. From that day on, my husband and I came to the office twice a month for nearly nine months. During that time, Dr. Richmond, Theresa, and Wendy became a part of our family. I actually changed my insurance mid-pregnancy to ensure I could continue to see Dr. Richmond after my husband had a job change. Dr. Richmond kept me cool, calm, and collected during these crazy months leading up to the birth of my twins. And when I went into labor unexpectedly early, he was there. And when I saw his face walk into my hospital room to assure me everything would be okay, I instantly calmed down and felt like a family member was there to deliver my babies. Every moment I spent with Dr. Richmond was calming and exactly what I needed. He delivered my preemie twins and left an incision so invisible, my girlfriends can't believe it. After the birth, he was there to calm me down because my babies had to be in NICU for a few weeks. After they were released, I brought my babies to the office, and it was as if I had brought them to a family member's house. Dr. Richmond, Theresa, and Wendy were so thrilled to see them. It was like coming home. I even inquired if Dr. Richmond could be our pediatrician! I cannot say enough good things about this office or Dr. Richmond himself. All I can do is give them all five stars and recommend to you and all my friends that you see him as your OB/GYN. read more

See all

Let me start by saying that I have theeee worst luck with my pregnancies with morning sickness and I am at times overly emotional and a worry wart. Dr. Richmond is great at listening to my concerns and addressing them. The office is great at calling me if there are issues with my health and to follow up. I delivered my first son in February of 2014 and it was the best experience ever! I had tons of people freaking me out about how my delivery would go, but it was everything I had hoped. My husband, against my wishes watched the whole thing and was equally impressed. He loved being part of the experience and Dr. Richmond answered all his and my questions during the process. I am now pregnant with my second, and receiving services from him as well. I wouldn't trust anyone else but Dr. Richmond with my babies. As far as what other yelpers have mentioned, parking fees are not a reflection of his services (but seriously Cedars, get it together!) insurance issues happen more often than not with any provider... It's not their fault... And Teresa and Wendy are the best! I remember he first time I called and mentioned I had taken a million pregnancy tests and they were supper supportive and scheduled an appointment the next day. They explained everything I needed help with as a new time mommy. As far as a wait time.... Things happen! Come prepared in case you need to wait. What if YOU had an emergency that required more medical attention. You would want your questions answered and issues addressed. This kind of stuff happens everywhere-- welcome to the real world. Also, he is an ob/gyn -- which means he can be called to deliver at any time... Be prepared as it is a possibility. If it were you in labor, I'm sure you wouldn't mind him canceling an appointment for you... read more

We had our first baby delivered by Dr. Harvey, H. All I can say is that he is the best Dr. As well as his staff. He followed up with my wife, after the baby and has been very knowlegable with his recommandation. We will definetly go back to his office! God bless him! read more

I went to Dr. Richmond because my health plan no longer covered my previous OBGYN. I've been with him for four years for well woman exams. I feel very comfortable with him. I don't know what it is but he has a nice energy. I asked my previous OBGYN about testosterone, she blew me off with a high horse attitude. When I asked Dr. Richmond, he explained the benefits and drawbacks, then let me decide. I haven't had to see him for anything other than well woman exams so can't comment on his expertise in terms of pregnancy etc. But I can say he is great for me so far. read more

Dr Richmond is a very kind caring gentle doctor. I don't like to go to men gynecologists because I don't feel safe. He made me feel safe right away. But from week to week he said totally different things. He recommended very outdated procedures and seemed to struggle with his memory. He misdiagnosed me, and reprimanded the doctor that I went to after him who was giving me a hysterectomy that he didn't think I needed. Not only did I need it, I would've died without it. I'm very worried for him. He has spent a lifetime helping women, and it doesn't seem like anyone in his life is letting him know that there seems to be problems with his memory. I would advise another doctor. read more

I would like to show my appreciation to Wendy she has been very resourceful and helpful in regards to my billing issues and Dr. Richmond did a great job on my surgery thank you read more

Dr. Richmond himself seems to be very knowledgeable in his profession and I would keep going to him if he had a different staff. His staff especially his nurse, Theresa is unprofessional, incompetent, and unapologetic. Your team is only as good as the weakest link and that can't be more true regarding this office. I felt some pain when I peed so I suspected an infection of some sort. They tested my pee and told me no news is good news. After a couple days I assumed everything was okay. Three weeks later a day before my next appointment Theresa calls to inform me I actually have a very serious infection and it needs to be treated right away. Like really right away? So I come in the next day Dr. Richmond tells me if I had waited longer to get it treated I could have went into premature labor. They also tested my pee that same visit and got the results back confirming I still had the bad infection. So there was no excuse as to why they waited three weeks to tell me. That was the first issue of many. My doctor appointments never seems to feel like it was about me. Theresa would only make conversation with my boyfriend and when he didn't come she would ask where he was and that's that. I don't have a good relationship with my mom and Theresa knows this as my mom is a patient of theirs as well. She only talks about my mom and how "sexy" she is and that I should love her. Theresa has no right prying into my personal relationships and telling me what to do especially when she doesn't know anything about my relationship with my mother at all. She even told my mother that I was ungrateful. Ugh I could go on and on but I've had it. Now I have to find a new doctor at 28 weeks pregnant!! read more

Dr. Richmond is amazing. He delivered all my children (3). He helped keep me in fantastic health during all my pregnancies. He treated and still treats our entire family like gold. I love him like family and trust him completely. read more

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Richmond. It is always nerve racking to test out a new doctor , but he made me feel very comfortable from the second he walked in. His nurse, Theresa, was equally as wonderful. They are a great team and I am feel more relaxed going into my follow up appointments. read more

How can I not give him 5 stars? He helped deliver my precious handsome son, Liam. He is now 13 months. ...Dr Harvey is compassionate and more importantly very knowledgeable. THe other Ob i saw prior to him pretty much encouraged me to have a c section. I was determined to deliver vaginally and Dr Harvey helped made that possible. I am in my mid 40s and having an expert OB is critical. His staff are nice as well. I recommend Dr Harvey .. read more
