Having worked in both HMO and group environments in the past, I have built my current practice to be altogether different. Dedicating my practice to personalized care in a serene setting allows plenty of time to get to know my patients and to individualize their care. The only way to do this is to allow plenty of time for patients to express themselves and get the care they truly need, making their care more personal. For new patients, I offer one-​hour time slots, and a half-​hour for annual gynecologic visits. Patients are never overbooked. I do not accept HMO plans. I personally push with every patient in labor. I do all of the ultrasounds and blood draws in my office, so that patients never have to see another doctor, and I have the results immediately. I have found that by practicing this style of medicine, the delivery of medical care is more personal and rewarding for both my patients and myself.

Dr. Ben-​Yehuda is my favorite doctor of all time. My entire pregnancy and delivery was comfortable and enjoyable thanks to him and when I am ready to have my second baby I wont hesitate to go see Dr B-​Y. He is kind, patient, understanding and extremely informative. He takes his time with his patients and he is always available to answer questions when you need him. I tell all of my friends planning to have kids to go see Dr Ben-​Yehuda. Even the nurses at Providence Tarzana Hospital where I delivered call him their favorite doctor, which says a lot!

Dr. Ben-​Yehuda is by far the best OB I’ve seen. My first pregnancy was a c-​section and I was told by my doctor a VBAC wasn’t an option. When I became pregnant with my 2nd child I just thought another c-​section was my only choice. At about 27 weeks into my pregnancy I started looking online for a doctor who would review my case to see if I was in fact a VBAC candidate. Even at 27 weeks pregnant, Dr. Ben was a tremendous source of encouragement from our first visit. Not many people switch doctors mid pregnancy:). But he evaluated me and it turned out I was a VBAC candidate. I’ve had not one but TWO successful VBAC deliveries with Dr. Ben! Another important thing to note about him is how he is respected and loved by those working at the hospital. Every nurse that took care of me only had wonderful things to say about him. I’m so thankful for the reviews I read that lead me to him. He is now my regular OB even though I had my last baby and won’t need another VBAC.

Pay him a visit and u will know what I’m talking about !

Dr. Ben-​Yehuda is a fabulous doctor! He’s kind, empathetic and supportive of your needs as a patient. He also has the heart of a teacher. When I came to see him, I had a high-​risk pregnancy as I had blood clotting issues associated with elevated estrogen levels. He was thorough in his explanations regarding my condition and possible outcomes.
He also explained to me that I might have to have a c-​section and why. During the delivery, he made me feel as an equal team partner regarding the medical procedures to be done. I ended up having a c-​section, but it was under a mutual agreement considering the circumstances. I was thoroughly satisfied that I was not having a c-​section for the sake of it.
He is, by far, one of the best OB-​GYN doctors that I have ever had! I would highly and strongly recommend him to anyone who needs a doctor in this specialty. I wish I could find other doctors as great as he in other specialties.

Dr. Ben delivered my daughter and he is the best. He explains everything and takes the time to answer all of your questions. I never felt rushed. My husband also loves him. I had to have an emergency c-​section and was so grateful to have such a calm and trustworthy OB there with us!

Dr. Ben Yehuda was very supportive in my decision for a VBAC. Dr. Ben Yehuda made it a point to thoroughly educate me about some of the issues that could arise with a VBAC but as not to scared me aware from my decision as other doctors have tried to do in the past. In the end, he made sure the decision was my own. I had a smooth VBAC delivery, something that I worried wouldn’t be possible because so many other doctors just refuse to even attempt.
Dr. Ben Yehuda really cares about what you have to say and won’t ignore your concerns, he truly listens. He makes sure that you are educated with every decision you make and comfortable. He’s awesome!

Dr. Ben-​Yehuda is hands down the best OB! He delivered my baby and the entire experience from my first appointment through delivery was top notch. He is always on time for appointments and the office staff, Lidia and Gen, are very friendly and helpful.
What’s great about Dr. Ben is the amount of time he takes to provide detailed medical explanations that are easy to understand. I really appreciate how he is up-​to-​date on the most recent medical research to provide you with the best possible evidence based care. He is very supportive of exercise during pregnancy, which was important to me as I maintained an intense fitness program five days a week throughout my entire pregnancy.
Additionally, he was very respectful of my birth requests and did everything within his power to support my requests. I wanted as natural of a birth as possible and Dr. Ben was extremely patient with me in applying natural interventions while waiting out the arrival of my baby– I ended up delivering at 42 weeks! Dr. Ben was there from my very first push, even before I started pushing he was in the hospital and checked on me various times. He also was very supportive of my Doula, which I hear isn’t always typical of OBs.
My entire pregnancy, labor, and delivery experience was as smooth as it could be knowing that I had Dr. Ben on my side. When it comes time for baby #2 Dr. Ben will be my first call for an OB appointment!

Ridiculously rude office staff. Not worth it to develop a relationship w this doctor. Wise to look elsewhere.
Update: no worries as it seems that this practice feels the need and actually has the time to attempt to defend unprofessional behavior. I have happily moved on. Hope this is a wake up call and that things improve. Best of luck in your future endeavors!

Dr. Ben has been my personal OB and has delivered both my babies. He is absolutely the best doctor out there. He is amazing and I feel that i would trust him in life threatening health situations. He is so very detailed that you leave his office with no questions or doubts on any situation. He cares a lot for his patients. I had unique health and pregnancies that would be considered life threatening and he handled it so well that left no fear or concern with me. He handled it so well and did what was the best for my baby and myself. I had the best experiences with him and would not want to be in the care of any other doctor. He is simply amazing and I constantly recommend him to all my family and friends.

Dr. Ben-​Yehuda was highly recommended to me by my coworker. I found out i was pregnant and did not have an obgyn at the time. i decided to give it a try. The Dr. is amazing. He is very passionate about his field and on top of all the current research. He spent the needed time with us and answered every single question we had during a regular check up appointment. He did not rush and made sure all of our questions were answered and all our needs were met. I loved that it was a one doctor practice and the dr knew you personally. My delivery was superb. Not only the dr made me feel extremely comfortable and made sure the «damage» was minimal, but the total time of pushing was minimized to 20 min. I would highly recommend this doctor. I changed jobs in the middle of the pregnancy and the new job had insurance that Dr did not accept. I obtained cobra just to be seen by Dr. Ben-​Yehuda. Also, as an additional perk of being his patient is that his wife teaches a class to all new mommies at his office. The material is extremely useful and interesting.

Dr Ben-​Yehuda is fantastic. He was recommended to me by my acupuncturist when I was trying to conceive. I only had one appointment with him before I found out I was pregnant. Through the early parts of my pregnancy I was still getting to know him but felt more and more confident that he was the right doc for me with every visit. He was thorough and patient. I always wanted to approach things as naturally as possible and he always respected that. I’m definitely more of a fan of eastern medicine and can be skeptical of western med docs, but I always felt incredibly comfortable with him. I had a very specific birth plan and he was very accommodating in regards to that. After my labor and delivery, I am even more of a fan! He was incredible, supportive and patient through what was quite a tough and trying delivery. His follow up with me the day after was wonderful and he really spent a lot of time talking through everything with my husband and I. I HIGHLY recommend him!

It turns out that Covered California is an absolute joke. 9 out of 10 respectable doctors/​hospitals have been excluded from the network. Sadly any woman looking for good care and/​or Vbac is left with very few options. I appreciate the insurance specialist and Dr Ben Yehuda’s help in trying to help find a solution. I have the utmost respect for vbac/​natural birth supporting doctors. They are definitely in short supply!

Dr. Ben-​Yehuda was my OB for the recent delivery of my daughter. From start to finish, the whole experience was A+. There was never any wait for office visits, his staff is friendly and thorough, and he performs the ultrasounds on-​site. He explains every exam and scenario in great detail, but in a way that didn’t leave us with more questions. Our parents accompanied us to one of the ultrasounds, and they loved him too!
His wife holds the baby class (no charge) so we could skip the weeks of classes offered with the hospital. Tons of great information.
The delivery held some surprises/​challenges for us, and he visited the hospital and monitored us from home. He made every effort to give me a vaginal birth (he says every woman deserves the chance for one), and never pushed a c-​section on me.
I did have. C-​section, and he’s an excellent surgeon (our pediatrician said the same thing when we interviewed her prior to the birth). The scar is hardly noticeable only ten weeks later. Better yet, and I can’t say this is normal, the pain management was a breeze — I only needed Advil a few days after the surgery.
He does not perform episiotomies (one of my requirements in an OB), he delivers his patients’ babies (surprisingly rare, especially in group practices), and the nurses at Tarzana clearly respected him and his work.
Looking back at the pregnancy and birth experience, I would not have changed a thing, and will certainly have Dr. Ben-​Yehuda deliver any future babies.

Have been seeing Dr. Ben-​Yehuda for 10+ years. Very personable and puts you at ease. Most important, Dr. Ben-​Yehuda is thorough, asks questions and listens carefully and in turn carefully explains what he is doing or recommending. From my visits, I can see he keeps himself and then you the patient, up to date on the latest medical /​pharmaceutical advances. For me, this translates into 5 stars for excellent patient care.

My wife and I couldn’t be happier with the level of service and care we received from Dr. Ben-​Yehuda. He was always eager to address all our concerns throughout the pregnancy. They also offered a class to first time parents at no additional charge that was very helpful and informative. Our little baby girl secretly thanks him also:)

This doctor’s focus is on getting paid and then patient care. He is thorough, and is very good at explaining and giving a complete exam. But when I took my daughter (15) for her first check up after the health care law went into effect, I did not expect that she would be charge for the office visit. He questioned her in his office without me and asked her about her periods which she said she had every other month. He did not treat her for it and in fact told her she did not need to come back to him until she was sexually active. We don’t think there is anything wrong with it at this point in her life, but he sure billed it to the insuracne company that is was an after hours emergency visit so he could collect his $ 20 co-​pay. REALLY??? I think there is something very wrong with him financially.

Dr. Ben-​Yehuda is the best doctor I’ve ever seen. Not just OB or gynecologist, but overall doctor. He was my OB during my pregnancy and was extremely thorough in every appointment. My consultation with him really put me at ease because he answered all my questions and explained procedures I didn’t understand. After the consultation, I was given a complete physical exam. Dr. Ben-Yehuda’s office staff is absolutely wonderful– always helpful and organized. They obviously take great pride in keeping the office very clean and inviting.
During the labor and delivery of my son, Dr. Ben-​Yehuda came in very often to check on me while I was in labor. When it came time to push, he was there from push #1. The cord was wrapped around my son’s neck twice, but I had no clue. Dr. Ben-​Yehuda kept calm and I couldn’t even tell there was an issue. He got him out quickly and safely, quickly cutting the cord (and apologizing to my husband for having to cut it ;)). Dr. Ben-​Yehuda explained my tearing while stitching me up and checked on me again before I went downstairs to the postpartum rooms. He visited me again the next day to check my stitches and answer any questions I had.
About a month after my son was born, I received a care package and thank you letter from Dr. Ben-​Yehuda and his staff. Throughout my pregnancy they made me feel so special. They still do. I was never rushed and always comfortable. I very highly recommend this office to any woman looking for a doctor who genuinely cares about his patients and their unborn child (ren). I will absolutely be staying with Dr. Ben-​Yehuda for gynecological services and my next pregnancy.

I could not have chosen a better OB than Dr Ben Yehuda to deliver my son.
Needing a new doctor to work with later in my pregnancy, I asked around for referrals. Dr Ben Yehuda’s name was brought forward by a respected doula as a good doctor who is happy to work with women who would like to have a natural childbirth within a hospital. After choosing Dr Ben Yehuda and seeing him for prenatal, child birth, and post partum care; I found him to be a fantastically skilled doctor who was happy to treat me as an individual. He offered me options at each stage of care with varying levels of medical intervention. I was impressed by his versatility in style of care, depending on the mother’s desires and needs (and his flexibility when said desires adjust throughout the process).
In choosing an OB, it was of high priority to me to find a doctor who would listen to me throughout and not be set on their preferences, rather than my own. I truly appreciated that Dr Ben Yehuda treated me as a person and not just another pregnancy walking in his door. I cannot say how much this was appreciated. Dr Ben Yehuda went above and beyond to ensure I had a healthy delivery and a very positive birth experience. I will very highly recommend him to anyone looking for a new OB/​Gyn.
*Note: it’s a good sign when you check into the hospital and after each nurse asks who your doctor is, they each rave when you mention his name

I had a higher risk pregnancy and a difficult labor. Thank goodness I had Doctor Ben. He did his best to keep me comfortable and informed. Right from the start he spent as much time with me as needed. He is one of the only doctors I have ever had who didn’t make me feel rushed and answered every question I had, making sure I understood everything that was happening to me. He even made sure I saw a specialist on the SAME DAY when there was a possible issue so that it could be put to rest immediately instead of me worrying about it the entire weekend.
I have had issues finding a good OB/​GYN for the last 15 years (since I moved to the valley). I’m so glad my fertility doctor recommended him because I now found the perfect one!
