New LA Resident - Need Doctor Recommendations (Los Angeles, Glendale: obgyn, dermatologist)

[DCNita]

Can anyone recommend any good doctors? I'm in the Toluca Lake/N. Hollywood area. I need the following:

1. General Practitioner
2. Pediatrician
3. Cardiologist
4. Rheumatologist
5. OBGYN
6. Dentist
7. Dermatologist

I'm open to doctors located in the greater LA area including Glendale, Burbank, Mid-City, Santa Monica, Hollywood, Los Feliz, Silverlake, West Hollywood, Wilshire/Hancock Park, Sherman Oaks, Studio City, etc. as long as they are good and don't have you sitting for 2 hours waiting to be seen and can get an appointment in a reasonable amount of time.

Please continue and/or feel free to PM the doctor information. Thanks to those that have responded so far. I assure you I will be checking on all of them. It's hard to find good doctors and I just don't want to have to go through a whole heap of bad ones.

I have lived here almost three years. The first year I tried a dentist in Glendale, not so great. Second year saw one in Pasadena, he was horrible and overpriced. This year found one I like a lot, the third is the charms! I highly recommend Margaret Berkey, DDS. She is in Glendale and her phone number is 818-242-3731.
I see a dermatologist, Dana Kang, in Glendale. Her phone number is 818-248-4936. I like that she is a dermatologist who is interested in treating medical issues, not just cosmetic. I hope this helps.

Dentists in Los Angeles are notoriously awful. They tend to be crooks who will try to do as little as they can for as much money as possible. If at all possible go to TJ....

Thank you! I will be calling Dr. Berkey on Monday I'm overdue for my cleaning this move to LA took up all of my time.

Does anyone know of a good pediatrician or GP? I'm still looking.

Majoun,
I think you are right. The first one I saw had yelp reviews that were nearly identical, just the gender of the reviewer changed. The one I saw in Pasadena charged me nearly $7,000 for two crowns and said I needed a third. Got second opinion at that point and did not need crown, not even close.
