I LOVE LOVE LOVE Dr. Suriel. I had not so great experiences for my first couple pregnancy appointments nearby. I literally lost hope and was going to throw my fist through a window if someone mentioned one more time that I was too old to be pregnant and should ONLY consider C-section. 40 in LA should be like a 20-something pregnancy but whatever. She is super warm and caring to the point where I had to question where this woman gets all this empathic energy from. She is genuinely very sweet and has a wonderful personality. I recently had to deal with surgery and yes, being pregnant- I was very worried and scared. Dr. Suriel put me at ease and she even held my hand when I burst out crying right before surgery. I really thought I had it together that day but apparently not. My recovery wans't as smooth as I thought it would be but she called me to make sure I was doing okay before the weekend. She takes the time to answer all your questions even my seemingly dumb ones. She calls me to discuss test results and I always feel comfortable calling with questions around discomfort or other pregnancy-related symptoms. Not to mention Desiree and Doris are also AMAZING. They are very friendly but so on top of their jobs. The whole office is run very well and the longest I've ever waited to see Dr. Suriel is 15 minutes. They always return your call within a matter of 2 hours. I am so happy I found Dr. Suriel and will stick with her as long as she is practicing. COME SEE HER! read more

Dr. Suriel is incredibly friendly and immediately puts you at ease. She listens intently, explains things clearly, and is very up-to-date on modern hormone and replacement therapies, which made me feel informed and confident in my care. read more

I love Dr. Suriel so much. I have followed her from Manhattan Beach to Beverly Hills and even after moving to Ventura County, I still make the trek to see her, even if her only appointment has me leaving at rush hour (which should speak volumes). This is why I love her: 1. She keeps hand warmers in her pockets - Ladies, you get it. 2. She is respectful of your time. She is ALWAYS on time for her appointment with you and on my first appointment with her, she had a sit down with me, clothed, in her office to talk about my history before I donned the paper gown. It felt real, friendly and way less awkward than what I was expecting. She is compassionate and considerate to her patients who she sees in the most vulnerable positions in their lives. 3. Her office is warm and super clean 4. Her staff is amazing. Professional when they need to be and light-hearted when you need a little comedy while feeling uncomfortable. 5. I TRUST her implicitly. Her treatment plans are thoughtful and appropriately aggressive or conservative. I honestly feel like gives me all the information to make a informed decision and is comforting and wise when asked what she would do if you were her daughter. 6. She is professional, but makes me feel like we're friends. She doesn't rush out of the room and always stays for a couple of minutes of connection-time. I really appreciate that. read more

Dr suriel is one of the most caring obgyn I've ever had. She was always available to squeeze me into her schedule when I needed help in my first trimester. She called me back many times and once even when I didn't call she called me to see how I'm feeling and spent 20 min on the phone when I told her I wasn't feeling well and at ER. She went over my symptoms and checked the labs online to help me. She is accountable and always looking out for me. She also has a soft tone, demeanor, and she believes in gd. She made me feel comfortable and that I'm in good hands. She also never dismissed any of my concerns. For example when I wanted to recheck a lab she didn't complain or protest, she understood me and ordered the labs to check what I'm concerned about. She is an amazing Dr and loved by her patients. I found her through a friend. read more

Dr. Suriel was our OB GYN throughout our 1st pregnancy and delivered our perfect baby girl. Dr. Suriel is everything you want in a doctor - warm, decisive, honest, experienced and supportive. While she has a gentle demeanor, she is all business in the hospital and operating rooms. She takes total control of the situation and the room - making you feel like it will all be okay! Child birth is a major experience and trauma on the body but she knows how to comfort and deal with complicated deliveries. I ended up having to have an unplanned (and not desired) c-section but she really helped me at ease with that decision and during the procedure really calmed me. I cannot thank her enough for delivering our perfect angel! read more

I LOVE Dr. Suriel and would go back to LA in a heartbeat to have our second when/if that happens. I was pregnant with my first and had the typical questions. There was a scare that my son could have had Down Syn. and she was there for us. I called her twice the day she told me to make she she meant me and didn't get me confused with someone else. The staff at both offices are GREAT. If you can get in to see her, I would highly recommend her. read more

Dr. Suriel took excellent care of us during my pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum care with our twins boys. She provided us with all the resources and referrals we asked for and was always prompt in answering our questions and returning our phone calls. We would highly recommend her to our friends and family. read more

NOTE: I came into her office, Beverly Hills Group of Women Physicians, in order to see Dr. Lily Lee, instead I had the unfortunate luck of being seen by Dr. Suriel I came in for my appointment as a New Patient 20 minutes earlier in order to fill out all the paper work, which took the normal 10-15 minutes. Once I gave them all my information I sat there and waited... for an hour and a half!!! I asked various times when I would be seen, and they kept on saying "soon." I couldn't take it any more and asked a 5th time, to which the lady at the front desk informed me that there were FOUR patients ahead of me, and that Dr. Lily Lee was behind. I was beyond frustrated at this point, and reminded the lady politely that I had been there way before any of the people. So she brought me to the back to a room, which was still dirty, to which I had to ask them to fix up.. After waiting another 20 minutes in there a nurse came in and got my vitals and asked me to change into the usual robe. Another 15 minutes past while I sat there half naked in a cold room. Finally a Doctor came in quickly, didn't even introduce herself and started asking me some personal questions in a very uncaring, and brief manner. After 5 minutes of talking I referred to her as Dr. Lee, to which she said, in an offended manner, her name was DR. NAOMI SURIEL.. Then she realized I wasnt her patient and quickly left the room to talk to the front desk, another 5 minutes past and she came back to inform me that I either see her, or wait another hour or 2 to see Dr. Lee. At this point I just didn't even care, and just wanted my exam to be over. For some reason, I had some false sense of hope and trust in this Doctor. For the remainder of the appointment Dr. Suriel was very aggressive and uncaring. I was with her in the room for a total of 7 minutes! With pap-smear and all she only took 7 minutes! I remember because I sent an email right before she walked in and checked the time after I walked out the room. After I changed I walked out to the reception area, and on my way out I saw Dr. Suriel just browsing the internet.. like was that so much more important than taking your time to make sure I was comfortable and answering my questions with true knowledge? It was a VERY disheartening appointment. I honestly left there feeling disgusted. Every time I tried to ask Dr. Suriel a question she would just wave it off. None of my concerns were addressed that day. Honestly STAY AWAY from this place. Not worth your time to go any where near there!!! There are PLENTYYY of other amazing gynecologists who can take care of you in the area. read more

I actually have had a positive experience with Dr. Suriel but I do need to voice my concern over the policy her partners have of not allowing patients to see other doctors within the practice. I phoned for an appointment last week and was told that Dr. Suriel would be out for a month or so. Since my insurance is about to run out (losing job) I asked if I could see another doctor for a basic annual exam. I was told no because "the doctors get mad when we do that." It has been three years since my last exam and I'm about to lose my insurance. But no exception to this policy would be made. This tells me the office where Dr. Suriel works cares more about internal politics than patient care. So, unless I was misinformed (and I did press and ask if I could talk to someone how makes the rules) I would not recommend seeing anyone at this practice. read more

Dr. Suriel delivered my son two months ago, and we are lucky to have such a knowledgeable and caring medical professional on our side. She is very passionate about her field and well-versed in the latest medical research. My husband and I trust her expert opinion, and we know that she keeps our best interests in mind. Her staff is also very personable and kind. We highly recommend her without any reservations. read more

Great doctor - she's been my GYN for many years. She's smart, caring, thorough, and will answer as many questions as you want to ask. I'm surprised at the 1 star reviews. Most doctors' offices have waits because it's hard to predict how many questions patients will ask. Or one patient will be late and it will have an effect on the rest of the schedule. Most of the time, the wait is less than 15 minutes but there have been a couple times the wait was longer. I just take a book to this and all other appointments with doctors so it's less of a big deal. And honestly, that should take her down to 4 stars not to 1 star. I think the other reviewers are being over entitled whiners. The only doctor I have ever given a 1 star rating to was the jerk who did a root canal on the wrong tooth and then lied about it. THAT deserves a 1 star rating not a good, smart, doctor whose only crime is that she cares enough to answer all questions thoroughly and might run late because of it. read more

Dr Suriel is the best. She's been my OB for twenty years and delivered both of my babies. Caring, direct, and thorough--I have recommended her to family and friends over the years, and they feel the same. A fantastic physician. read more

Dr. S is awesome. Only gyno I will ever see in LA. She is a strong cool chick and anyone who doesn't leave a 5 Star review is super confusing to me... read more

It is true that you will need to wait for appointments and she can be quick during routine exams. BUT during deliveries, she is simply amazing! She delivered both of my babies and was respectful of all my choices including no epidural and laboring in the tub. There were serious complications during the second delivery and her skills 100% saved my baby's life!! Does not get any better than that! read more

THE KINDEST most gentle doctor in town. Extremely experienced and knowledgeable. My daughter and I both see her for ages. She is always considerate and thorough. Most of all she actually takes the time to listen and cares and follows up! Very rare in this busy and crazy world. The office staff is kind and efficient too. I hate waiting and they were extremely respectful of my time. Loved that they do blood work on the premises. One stop visit! Great experience! read more

Dr. Suriel is absolutely incredible. She's the most professional Obgyn! She kept me reassured and informed during my whole pregnancy. She was there to answer all my questions and made me feel safe during my c-section. She always returns my calls and answers any question I may have. It is a privilege to be her patient. Highly recommended! read more

I went to Dr. Suriel on the recommendation of my internist. I wanted a female OBGYN who I could "relate to." Dr. Suriel is friendly and warm. I think she has a good bedside manner. The reason why I don't give her 4 or 5 stars is that the front office is a bit abrupt and aloof - and they make you wait quite a while. Then, when you meet with the doctor, the visit is so quick (seemed like less than 3 minutes). read more

Honestly I dont reccomend anyone to visit Dr Naomi Suriel. Maybe as a doctor she can be fantastic (I dont know) but her staff and the attention you get from the dr is SO bad, that is not sth a woman is looking for her pregnancy controls. I really dont undertsand how a doctor that knows is dealing with feelings and such an important matter does have a better team. THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE WAS A NIGHTMARE!!!!!! Starting from the receptionist and the staff that are there in the office SO rude and moody, I went on a private consultation, spent USD 550, waited for more that 1 hour to start the process. Then the doctor called me after I left, and since then, I have been trying to get back her. I put a daily reminder and call to her office. She is always "busy" with a patient according to their secretaries, and never had the chance to speak again with her. Imagine if you are about to deliver, or not feeling well, or having any kind of emergency or question, and you are willing to contact the doctor!!! It is crazy that having some many options and doctors around you, she is not the one and only, so I hope the DR gets this message for her future patients. I definitely wont pick her as my doctor, cause I am looking for someone to be there ready and steady, and with a team that speaks the same language! I´m so pissed off, that I would like to have a full refund of my visit actually. Please, if you have any other option, DONT visit Dr Naomi Suriel and her disgusting team. You deserve much better that this! read more

She is so caring and nurturing. She delivered ALL 3 of my children and still is my ob/gyn 15years later. I feel very comfortable sharing personal information with her. No judgment. I'm so grateful for Dr. Suriel. Xoxoxo read more

Dr. Suriel is an amazing doctor and person. She not only delivered our son, she has delivered at least 4 other children for friends of ours. Her bedside manner is wonderful. She is empathetic and makes you feel heard and taken care of. She also knows how to take charge when it counts. We struggled with fertility issues and when we finally got pregnant via IVF and were able to be transferred back to Dr. Suriel's office we felt like we were in good hands. Her staff is warm and personable as well. Pregnancy and childbirth were by far the most vulnerable moments of my life and I am so thankful we had Dr. Suriel and her team to shepherd us along. I cannot recommend her enough. read more

Excellent experience! It was my first appointment and I'm very impressed by her professionalism and her knowledge. I strongly recommend Dr. Suriel. read more

Terrible to patients. Moved offices and stopped taking my insurance without even calling to let me know after I scheduled an appointment. Now I'm stuck trying to find a new doctor (and ridiculously long new patient lists) while having a medical issue that needs to be addressed. read more

Had the best possible experince with Dr. Suriel!! She delivered my daughter and made the whole experince comforting! She is amazing all around! Excellent bedside Manner and just all around an amazing doctor. Sometimes the wait was long but well worth it! Anyone would be lucky to have her as their OB!! I don't live in LA anymore and I am having a hard time finding someone who i trust and like as much as Dr. Suriel!! read more

Dr. Suriel is not just a doctor. She's a hero. She will stand beside you, holding your hand through it ALL! And ladies, let's face it, isn't that what we want? What we NEED? If you're looking for a doctor who is on her A-game AND truly cares about her patients, look no further than Dr. Suriel!!! read more

Yep. What the other one-stars said. I hate writing bad reviews, but this one deserves it. Worst bedside manner I have ever experienced with any doctor. Brusk, unfriendly, judgemental, unkind. And that is just during a routine PAP. Does not discuss or explain issues to the patient. Mentioned an issue in passing, and I didn't find out until I later researched it that it was something serious. Dr. Suriel should consider taking a class in how to talk to humans. I wouldn't even put up with this kind of icy bedside manner from my pet's veterinarian... :( read more

Dr. Suriel is one of the most caring doctors we have ever met. She spent significant time with us during each pregnancy. She is experienced as evident by her calm and confident judgment. We recommend Dr. Suriel to friends and family alike. -Shaul and Emmanuelle Lent read more

Dr. Suriel is incredible. She's warm, gentle and kind along with being an expert in her field. You'll feel completely at ease in her care. And she'll make you feel like a priority not only a patient. Dr. Suriel is the kind of doctor you go to and have your future daughter go to as well. She's just amazing! read more

Best doctor I EVER had. Warm, caring, prompt and great follow up not to mention her awesome bed side manners and personality.

I have been a patient of Dr Suriels for a few years with no major problems. This year however I wanted to go on birth control to regulate my cycle. Dr Suriel took NO time discussing options with me and instead just shoved a pill on me that didn't work at all. When I called to ask to discuss other options she just said she called in a different pill and didn't address any of my concerns. I was having problems with this pill too but when I called her response was "it's better then getting pregnant". I was extremely annoyed but decided since my appointment was coming up anyway I would just wait and try to have a real discussion in person. But they left me naked on the table for a full hour before Dr Suriel came into the room. By that time I was so annoyed I had already gotten dressed and told her I was leaving. Extremely dissatisfied with the service and level of care!! Choose another doctor! read more

I went to Dr. Suriel for over 12 years and decided to go elsewhere after my last visit. The other reviewers are right - you wait forever for a 5 minute visit. This practice has turned into a factory over the past years. It's about as personal as going to the post office. The clincher was when I found out that she charged me $55.00 to write a new prescription. Really??!! Isn't writing an RX part of the $400 office visit? read more

I will never schedule an appointment at this dump again. I only came to this place per a co workers referral. First of all I was seen an Hr 1:15 minutes after my scheduled time, I had to keep putting money in the meters and going up to the front to ask how long,I totally ran over my lunch. Dr. Naomi is such a douche bag, this woman has the worst attitude. During the 10 minutes or less that I was with her I was insulted several times, she even questioned if my medical records where mine although they were in a certified envelope from my previous doctor along with the request for my records. She has no compassion or empathy for her patients. I would have been better off diagnosing myself off of web Md. You'd think since this place is in Beverly Hills that these folks would have a little class. Syke not anyone in this office. read more

Although I have been coming to the Beverly Hills clinic for years, I am thinking of switching. When I come on time for my appointments, I wait at least 15 minutes in the waiting room. Once I get inside and the nurse has done the questioning, I am told that the doctor will be with me in a moment...At this point, I have uncomfortably waited anywhere from 15-20 minutes for the doctor to come in. But once she is in, she is done and out in 3 minutes...Although it is somewhat of an uncomfortable situation, I still would desire a little more patient care and/or friendliness from the doctor. On the other hand, the best part about Dr. Suriel is she is so fast with the check ups that I really don't mind going for a visit once a year. So if you are looking for a doctor who will take her time with you, this is probably not the best match, but if you just want a no fuss, 3 minute check up then give her a try, but do expect long waits and a very very busy, rushed doctor. read more

I have been going to Dr. Suriel for 5 years now. I have a lot of confidence in her as a doctor. She is knowledgeable and caring. She is able to answer all my questions and she returns phone calls in a timely manner. I read some of the other reviews about her being rough and rude- I can't even imagine her like that. Whenever she does an internal examination, she is always very clear with what she is about to do and when she will be applying some pressure. She warns me before the uncomfortableness will begin. Also, whenever she makes a medical decision for me, if I have some issue with it, she hears me out and takes my reasoning into consideration. The only issue I have is with some of the office staff. Sometimes they aren't the most friendliest and patient. There are times I have to wait to be seen, but nothing like an hour, like others were complaining. Every doctors office makes you wait- a little bit. When I was in the delivery room, she was constantly in touch with the nurses and came a bunch of times (back and forth to the hospital), as I generally have long deliveries. I would definitely recommend Dr. Suriel. read more

I've been Dr. Suriel patient for the last 10 years and I my entire experience was only positive and beyond satisfying. My experience with her and her co-doctors (who assisted or replaced her at times) was excellent. I felt they all preformed very professionally, with great bed-side manners and work ethics. Also her office staff was always very responsive, efficient and kind. I definitely recommend Dr. Suriel to whomever is looking for a trustworthy, dedicated, knowledgable and highly capable ObGyn. read more

Dr. Suriel delivered my two daughters and she was great. She is very calm and relaxed and a complete pro. I had to change doctors due to my health insurance and miss her, but at least I was already finished having children so I don't have to entrust all of that to someone new. The only downside was that her office always was very busy and I had long wait times, but an acceptable price to pay for a confident pregnancy and birth experience(s). read more

Dr. Suriel is amazing. She delivered my first born, and I only wish I could have had her for my second and third, but I lived too far away and didn't want to do all that traveling with little ones in the car. I was planning on having a natural birth, but because my son was breech, had to have a csection. I was freaking out the birth day, and she was so comforting. She was my pillow (hugged me) as I was getting my epidural and talked to me throughout the surgery. My last two doctors never did anything like that! Even on her busy days she never seemed to rush me. I can go on and on about how great she is. I miss her! read more

I used to see Dr. Suriel but I got tired of the dry, callous responses and very rude staff. Dr. Suriel does not seem to care about her patients at all....just getting them in and out! I had the worst delivery with her as my doctor. Instead of giving me a c-section (when I had a spinal lumbar herniated disc, and my daughter was facing upside down with her head pushing on my spine - excruciating pain for over 6 hours of pushing), I ended up with a fourth degree tear!!!! To make matters worse, she didn't even tell me why I was in so much pain and only prescribed "sids baths and motrin". I couldn't sit down anywhere let alone a couch for 4 weeks due to the pain of the huge tear!!!! She is a insensitive, rude, mean doctor and I wouldn't EVER recommend her to anyone that I cared about!!!! I am SO glad I switched to an OB that connects with their patients and is competent....my second delivery with this new OB was amazingly beautiful and relaxing. My new OB office is a god-send!!!! read more
