I've been to him a few times, and I really like his demeanor. He's very nice and quick and just personable. The office is located inside a big medical plaza with a not-so-good parking situation. I try to park in the free lot in Westwood and just walk there. I don't really like how the bathroom works. Actually the bathroom is fine as a bathroom, but as a sample collection location, it's a bit lacking. I was used to having a "mail slot" kinda thing inside the bathroom at the UCLA medical center for the sample collection, but here you just put it on top of the toilet. And there's no hook or stand for me to put my sweater/purse. Minor inconvenience. The wait here is not bad. The only time I've had to wait for more than 30 minutes was when I was about 20 minutes late to my appointment (totally my fault). The other times I only had to wait about 15 minutes or so. For some reason, I always get put on hold for awhile when I call the office. Dr. Pushkin is awesome. While writing this review, I realize its because he's very fatherly in a way (one i can talk to about my female health issues with), like I feel like he actually cares instead of being "get in, get out"-ish. 1 star off for the location/parking. read more

I went to Dr. Pushkin because he was the only one with good reviews on Yelp who also happened to be on my insurance list. He was great! Very friendly and warm, happy to explain everything to me in detail. He looks a little bit like a very genteel version of the scientist from Back to the Future. They do validate for parking, but you have to be careful because it's not the parking in their building, but the one right next to it. Be sure to get enough validation stamps when you leave! The assistants sometimes forget that even though the first 1/2 hour is free, that "free-ness" is canceled as soon as they give you a validation. So you have to get stamps for the first 1/2 hour as WELL as anything over that. read more

I have been going to Dr. Pushkin for 20 years and he is one of the finest, most careful and capable doctors I have ever had.

Dr Pushkin is compassionate and kind. He takes his time to listen and provide supportive care in a professional environment.

I went to this doctor from April 2018-November 2018. I liked him initially because my old obgyn was very rude and made me uncomfortable so I had no good experience to compare to. Robert Pushkin tends to talk to you like you are a child. I wanted help finding the best birth control for me given I have a chronic illness and didnt want anything to interfere with that. We came to the conclusion that I should get the depo provera shot which he did not tell me reduced the effect of one of my medications for my chronic illness by 50% which in turn created a nightmare for my health for 3 months! My new obgyn right off the bat told me that birth control affects this medication in this way. He also didnt warn me that this birth control may cause breakthrough bleeding leaving me on my period for 4 months. When I came in to ask about this he said "you're not actually on your period- just lightly bleeding." As a man he has know idea how awful it is to be "lightly bleeding" for four months straight. He didnt even care. The absolute WORSE part about this man and my experience is that I was raped and when I told him he literally said, "They must of really liked you. It's a compliment." What an absolute horrible person. On top of it I had experienced awful pain with sex and asked him about it and instead of doing an ultrasound or ordering an MRI he told me everything "looked fine from what he can see" and that I just needed to deal with it. Finally, my new obgyn ordered an MRI and found that I have adenomyosis. I would have lived my life in pain with no solution if it were for this man. Stay away! read more

I am 43 years old and I was referred to Dr Pushkin's daughter Sharon Pushkin who came highly recommended by numerous mothers I know. I was unable to get an appointment with her and they asked me if I wanted to see her father, Robert Pushkin. I didn't necessarily need an OB/GYN just a GYN (he doesn't deliver anymore) and since I'm done having babies I figured why not. Sharon was so highly spoken of, she shares a practice with her father and I'm sure her father may have something to do with why she's such a great doctor. I saw Dr Robert Pushkin today and it was one of the most comfortable and lovely visits I've ever had with a gynecologist. He listened to my concerns, took his time answering my questions and made sure I was well treated. I'm shocked to read some of these allegations against him. In my experience he has charisma, a great sense of humor and most importantly a comforting bedside manner. I feel like this blend is rare for a doctor and can possibly be mis-interpreted. He's exactly the Dr I was looking for. Paps don't have to be "so serious" to be professional. He's comfortable, light hearted, competent and professional with what he does. read more

PLEASE click on the "not recommended" hidden reviews at the bottom for this doctor! They are absolutely recommended to anyone who cares about their safety. Thanks. read more

The staff is SO rude. I thought maybe it was just on the phone, but even in person and even when I called back with a few questions they were equally JUST AS RUDE. I'm apalled that a business would keep such a receptionist. Honestly, she makes me not want to go back there. read more

I like Dr. Puskin and felt VERY comfortable with him...I feel we all have an opinion, we also interpret things differently. Personally I trust word of mouth NOT YELP of mouth. I am a medical professional who would clearly see and feel if a person/MD was a creep. That's too bad people had a bad experience I thought he was great!!! read more

I was not comfortable here. First off, this doctor has a rule that he'll only give you a prescription for BC pills for 6 months without regard to your health. I have never heard of this before and was annoyed that I would have to waste another hour plus to come back in 6 months just to get my blood pressure taken to refill BC pills. Second, I probably waited in the exam room for 40 minutes before I finally started to get dressed and then poked my head out to check what was going on. And once I was seen, the doctor and his staff made me feel uncomfortable and rushed. I will not be back, and do not recommend. read more

Dr. Pushkin, his daughter and staff are amazing! They were so nice when I had a little scare and were very accommodating, soothing and professional-all the while helping me to remember to laugh! I highly recommend him and his daughter-their staff is phenomenal! I couldn't be any luckier to have a great team by my side! read more

DR. Robert Pushkin is absolutely amazing. I've had terrible experiences with other doctors before but he made me feel really comfortable and is also hilarious! The staff is very friendly and appointments are taken right on time. Very efficient and nice offices. So happy I found him! read more

I saw Dr Robert Pushkin for my well woman exam and a follow up test. He is professional, very knowledgeable with decades of experience, and answered all of my questions. Dr. Pushkin personally called me to discuss my ultrasound and pap smear results. Based on my test results, he recommended a schedule for future testing in the next 3 months. I discussed my gynecological history without feeling rushed and feel he has a kind, gentle disposition overall. He has my respect as a medical professional, my trust and confidence as his patient, and my gratitude for providing good care. He is the best gynecologist I've had. read more

I am Barbara, and Dr. Robert S. Pushkin has been my physician - Ob-Gyn - for almost 20 years. He is very thorough and very careful. He has an excellent staff who really care for and remember their patients. His office is absolutely beautiful and very well organized, clean and neat. If one's finances are not so great, he and his staff are more than happy to work out a schedule so that it is made easier to make payments, and they do accept most insurance plans. I highly recommend Dr. Pushkin and his entire office staff. They are extremely professional, and I would never go to a different physician. Barbara read more

My wife has been a patient of Dr. Pushkin for 25 yrs. His care for her is as if she were his (good) family. I am very glad he is her Dr.

I regret waiting so long to write this review, but I needed time. Dr. Robert Pushkin sexually assaulted me in June, 2014 at the Culver City office. Everything about that appointment from start to finish was a traumatizing violation. I didn't even know this "Doctor" and he immediately wrapped his arm around me and pulled me close upon calling me from the lobby. Once in the exam room he told me what clothing to remove/leave on and then made a joke about if I was wearing underwear. He did such a great job distracting me once the actual exam was starting that I didn't notice that NO NURSE was present in the room until it had already begun! He just kept asking me questions and keeping me talking before groping me while on the table mid exam. Afterwards he had me meet in his office. He then proceeded to ask me very detailed questions about where I live, what kind of place, who else lives there, do I have a boyfriend, etc. He also tried to tell the Lab Corp girl to not charge me for a urine sample (even though it's covered through my insurance) and told her he'd "take care" of any charges. I was in shock and it took a few hours to fully realize what just happened. For over a week following the appt. he incessantly called my cell phone, mostly after 7pm. I never answered because I sure as hell didn't want to and because I had filed a police report the next day. This is only a summary, it's actually much worse. He is a disgusting old man who has clearly been getting away with this horridly unprofessional criminal practice for years. Thanks to the wonderful people at the Rape Treatment Center at UCLA, the Culver City Police Department and the Medical Board Investigator, all efforts were made to charge him. Unfortunately the justice system often fails in these matters. Please feel free to message me if you are a former patient with a similar story and/or have questions. I urge anyone who had a bad experience to report it no matter how insignificant you think it was or how long ago it may have been. Every report helps. read more

If I could, I would give him no stars. He was grossly inappropriate with me and made me highly uncomfortable during the exam, which he insisted on doing although I told him I did not need a pap smear. He then patted me on the butt when I walked out of the room. He is completely unprofessional. read more

I have read some of the reviews here on Dr. Pushkin, and I wanted to write in his defense. He has been my OB/GYN for many years, and also for my younger sister. I switched to him after he treated my sister and gave her a needed hysterectomy. He was soooo caring towards her, and opted to do her surgery vaginally, rather than abdominally, because he knew she had some other issues, and did not need a lengthy recovery, even though the vaginal surgery took him hours longer. Altho' I understand how some women might interpret his ways as inappropriate, I do think he has a warm caring manner, and has always offered a hand for support as a slid off the table, or patted my leg after an exam. He had always shown concern for me as a person and for all the things that affect me, like the big stresses in my life with my grown children. He put a sling for my bladder years ago, and I have absolutely no problem with that, thanks to Dr. Pushkin. I saw Dr. Pushkin this morning and he told me that younger Dr.'s are not doing this surgery anymore, due to lawsuits. I'm so glad mine was installed by an expert!!! read more

I have been wanting to complain to the Medical Board about this doctor due to his unprofessionalism and inappropriate examination. However, I've been told that dealing with the Board is like the fox guarding the henhouse and haven't wanted to bother. He did not have a nurse in the office while doing a breast exam and did a bizarre style breast exam and then invited the nurse in for the rest of the exam. After the exam he said, "you're mine, you're mine, you're mine..." It was the most bizarre and inappropriate GYN visit I've ever had. Ick! read more

While I liked Dr. Pushkin as a person, I thought he was a bit too slick as a doctor. Before we even got to the reason I was there, he was trying to sell me on a device to stop urinary leakage. He did a very cursory physical exam and I thought based on why I was there, he should have been a bit more thorough. When I told him I was originally hoping to see his daughter (Dr. Sharon) and that I normally preferred a woman GYN, we made a derogatory remark about how female doctors might pooh-pooh my problems, which has NEVER been the case with any female doctor I've been too. He was very accommodating, saying that if I had a problem in the future to call and he would make room in his schedule. But I won't be calling him back. Sorry! read more

Dr. Robert Pushkin is great! I found him to be very kind and gentle. He listens to you and you can sense that he cares. It was my first visit and I will return. The staff was very nice both in person and on the phone. I did not have to wait. But, parking is very very difficult on the street. The doctor's office does not validate. I was there for a little over an hour and it cost me $10 in the building's parking lot.. If you're looking for street parking, be aware that some of the streets are one-way, so it takes a long time to traverse the area. I gave up after 20 minutes and just parked in the lot. read more

So My insurance referred me to Dr Robert Pushkin, and of course! I read the reviews and my feelings were mixed...I admit, but I ended up going anyways. Soooo I was really surprised and after I left I felt totally stupid and ignorant for having certain assumptions bc I had a really good experience. Dr Robert Pushkin was super nice and professional!!! He gave me options for a certain procedure, explained not only the options but also insurance procedures, pros and cons. Now a few months later I changed jobs and therefore my insurance changed, I keep my fingers crossed that Dr Pushkin takes my new insurance as I really liked his services. read more

What a wonderful, thoughtful doctor. He is great, and worth the hassle of parking. I hear his daughter, who is also in the practice, is a great OB as well. Highly recommended. read more

Please do not see this man -- protect yourself and read the reviews! I was a patient of Dr. Pushkin's in 2004/2005. He saw me about 3 times -- each time I felt he was creepy (patting me on the leg after the exam, a nurse was not present in the room). But on the third time, he inappropriately touched me during the exam. It was fast and somewhat professional the way he assaulted me, so it didn't occur to me until after the fact that what he did was wrong. I think I was in shock/denial. To be honest, I think I repressed the memory, until recently when I was discussing 'creepy' docs with a friend. I looked him up to see if he was still practicing, was lead to the Yelp reviews...and horrified to learn of other similar experiences. I want to express my gratitude towards the other women for speaking out. You are not alone! He has prayed on many people -- protect yourself and do your research. Shocked he is still practicing... read more

I never had the time to write a review with this doctor who acted very unprofessional towards me during physical exam, (like the previous comments of the blue girl and others) I was one of the patients who've had very bad experience dealing with him in the past, and same nightmare for my friend who suffered so much emotional and physical pain....., we hope by now this doctor should either taken away his medical license or retired, with so many reason(s): #1 inappropriate behavior during physical exam, #2 very unprofessional as medical licensed doctor (the medical office rules) he should have his female nurse standing next to him whenever he perform Pap smear or any physical exam unless he wants solo, #3 he performed unsuccessful surgery thankfully without the other doctors help my friend could have died that day, #4 unnecessary personal questions and follow up phone calls even house calls. She reported him to medical board and he denied all allegations.....we are hoping that someone out there will finally listen and take seriously all complaints against him. We strongly believe that when you took an oath to save, respect, and keep your patients healthy, comfortable, and happy NOT to violate their rights and trust, not to disrespected them, you must take your profession seriously with pride. God help us. read more

I've gone through 3 ob's in my adult life. the first was through kaiser. the second was horrible, and she never even saw me! only a NP did! Dr Pushkin is my third and whereas I was a little uncomfortable going to a man at first... Now, I can't say how much this man means to me. He's like a father. I switched to him at the end of my first trimester with my son. He's always caring and affectionate, yet professional. He knew I wasn't completely following his directions but never got on my case about it with my son. He's sort of by appointment only. You'll wait less if you call ahead and try to get a time to come in. average wait isn't usually that bad, though he has had emergencies once in a while that left us waiting for a while. his office staff is friendly, and care about you as well. he will give discounts for cash patients if needed, He's also up to date with newer procedures and treatments, which to me is wonderful, as well. read more
