Scott P Serden, MD

When I was employed at Cedars I was a patient of Dr. Serdens, oddly enough I also worked for him. I can honestly say Dr. Serden is that amazing of an ObGyn doctor that it was well worth it seeing him as a doctor and feeling comfortable going to work after. He explains everything and puts your concerns at ease. If it wasn’t for management and office politics, I would not have left Cedars and would gladly still work for Dr. Serden and be a patient. If you’re looking for a caring and dedicated ObGyn he’s definitely one I’d recommend.

Over a decade as a client and he is still the consumate professional!

I met Dr. Serden when I was 31 years old, and expecting my first child. It has been 12 years since I gave birth — and every step of the way, I have received the very best of care. I’m sorry it took me so long to thank my doctor!
When you are frightened, nervous, or dreading the worst– Dr. Serden has a unique way of calming you down in an honest and caring manner. He is always gentle, and he doesn’t rush you through your questions. Many physicians get annoyed and almost become condescending with patient questions. It can be frustrating, especially when you fear the worst already. Dr. Serden never seems pained or bothered. Even when you are well over the normal weight in your 8^th month, he will still genuinely smile at you and tell you that you look great — hinting that maybe you should ease off the cookies if you can…
I came to his office in 2002 — armed with a complicated birth plan. I had ideas of grandeur for how my child’s birth was to play out. Dr. Serden took it all in stride, and on the day of my son’s birth, we didn’t adhere to any of my «amateur» birth plan– my son’s cord was stuck in his armpit, and I’m so glad Dr. Serden didn’t waste any time trying my silly dictated wishes… He was the total expert, And my son and I were in the very best of hands. My son was delivered perfect. No cone head, (least of our worries) No blue lips — no loss of oxygen-​perfect!!! He is a beautiful, bright 12 year old these days!
Recently, I had some health scares and Dr. Serden helped me get through the whole process– from biopsies to treatment. He would call me at home, he would move me up on the schedule if he needed to so that I didn’t have to wait a month to begin my treatment.
His staff is exemplary. You will notice that his RN’s and his phlebotomist never change. Why would they??? His office conveys such a peaceful feeling, the employees are HAPPY. They are the BEST, and they have a sense of pride knowing that they work for one of the best physicians in the United States. Hands down.
I am now married to a surgeon. I constantly try to emulate the same work ethic and compassion that is delivered daily at Dr. Serden’s office. It is not easy– believe me… Bedside manner is a true gift. You have it or you don’t… Dr. Serden is not only highly trained, tops among his colleagues, he is also Genuine and Sincere. I am so grateful that I have him as my physician. I truly look forward to my annual appointment, knowing that no matter what the results are, I’m with the best OB/​GYN should anything need to be addressed.
Thank you Dr. Serden

I found Dr. Serden when I had been told I was having a miscarriage during my last pregnancy. I saw him and immediately be told me that my baby was fine and developing normally. I had mentally prepared to have a d and c as that is what my previous ob had told me. I knew something didn’t feel right and sure enough, Dr Serden gave me the great news. He was amazing during my entire pregnancy and delivery. I have referred several friends and family members who all agree he is the best! Thank you Dr. Serden!!!

The best of the best!!! Such a nice and caring man. I’ve been going to him for many years. He is always there when you need him.

What an incredible man and doctor!!! Felt like I stepped back into the 80’s when physicians were really physicians!!! Dr. Serden is the real deal!!! Awesome!!! Office runs like none I ever seen before. Perfect! Thank you Dr Serden and staff!!!

Best OB ever! Was there frrom the day I saw the egg that ended up being my son to the day he delivered him and the experience from start to finish was impeccable. Truly can’t say enough good things.

Dr. Serden: listens, asks pertinent questions, offers options for treatment, level-​headed, straightforward and very calm approach. Delivered my now-​18-​year-​old daughter. Many are the times I have met women who respond «I go to Dr. Serden too!!!» when the subject comes around to talking about gynos. (Girls will talk) Do yourself a favor and go in for a consult/​exam and make your own decision. You will not be disappointed.

—UPDATE. 7−7−14 Came out of a bilateral cystectomy for endometriosis through laparoscopy surgery. AMAZING!!!
The best bed side manners EVER. Dr. Serden even called the evening before to see if I had questions and concerns. The surgery was at 7am in the morning, I got home and am feeling no pain and walking around. Even my stitches looks like a plastic surgeon’s work. I am very VERY confident in his work. If I could vote for the best doctor and surgeon EVER. He is the guy. Always prompt in answering questions and patient. Genuine smile, warm, and just make you so comfortable. This is my first surgery ever; first time in a hospital for myself. The Doctor made it so comfortable, I wasn’t even nervous.
By 6pm, I got a call from Dr. Serden on a follow-​up to make sure I was doing ok, and if I had any questions. After he found out I was coherent and alert, he asked if I had time for him to explain what happened and if I had time for him to describe the photos to me… Of Course I have time… thank YOU for making time. So after clearly explaining to me my health problem and his next steps. I have stage 4 endometriosis. But Dr. Serden explained it and I was feeling even more comforted to know what is going on. HOW Amazing is that for a doctor!
Pre-​surgery comment — –
Having lived all over the country, I’ve had many OBGYN’s. I have to say hands down Dr. Serden is THE BEST I’ve seen. I am scheduled to have surgery in July, so I’ll update my review after. In the meantime I will share with you my experience.
The office is very clean.
Staff– Very friendly and efficient. I was waiting in line behind a lady who was having insurance issues while on her cellphone and drinking her Starbuck, the staff politely asked the lady to take a seat as they try to sort out her insurance and had me sign-​in.
Everyone was super helpful. I had drop by to make a deposit, and Diana came out to tell me I didn’t need to do that and reminded me to make a post-​op appointment while I was there since it has obviously slipped my mind. So professional and efficient and friendly. I just want to hug them.
The doctor– Dr. Serden was so friendly, I forgot about my nervousness. I was in there for a second opinion and to find a doctor for my chronic pain. Had a consultation in his clean and organized office. Then went to the exam room for a quick exam so he can take a look and see if there were any changes to my condition.
He explained what I was seeing in the ultrasound and helped me understand why I was feeling the horrible pain. Did I mention, best bedside manner I’ve ever experience. He was quick and did not make it awkward.
I didn’t feel rushed and after the exam, I met him back in his office to discuss the next step and my condition. He answered all my questions, walked me to where I need to make my surgical schedule, and was just WARM.
Check-​out — fast and now they use a system called CS Link that makes making appointments, contacting the doctor, making payments, viewing your history, and everything else at your fingertip.

I really only have positive things to say. He delivered all 3 of my kids so that should say enough that I never left. He is competent, caring, made me feel heard and I never felt rushed. Him or someone of the staff always answered my questions in a timely fashion. Basically just a great experience every time.

Wow. I know there are a million other 5 star reviews on here for Dr. Serden, but I have to add one more!
He’s kind, thorough, answered every question I had, never made me feel rushed and explained his conclusions in clear, understandable terms. Most of all, he never treated me like a ‘hysterical woman’ for being worried, which was such a relief after dealing with my regular doctor who tried to tell me that 2 months of constant pain wasn’t an indication of anything being wrong :/​ (Spoiler alert: something *was* wrong).
His office staff was also lovely– in fact, this was the shortest in-​office wait I’ve ever had. I was seen 10 minutes after arriving!
Despite the fact he’s out of network for me, I will ABSOLUTELY be going back. It’s worth the added cost to have an OBGYN who treats me as a person, not a case number.

Dr. Scott Serden is very warm and caring. He is gentle with his exam. He has the best bedside manner. I typically don’t see male OBGYNs, but he was highly recommended by a friend. I’ve been a pharma rep for 18 years and don’t think I’ve met a nicer doctor.

I’ve been Dr. Serdens patient for over a decade. He is the most amazing Dr. Very carrying and personable. He takes extra care of his patients. He makes sure you feel very important and well taken care of. He is there for you whenever you have any questions. He will never wait till the end of the day to call you because he knows that you might have some questions that need immediate answers. He truly is one of the best Drs I have ever met. If you don’t have an OBGYN or looking for one to make you a priority, then you shouldn’t be looking any further. Love my Dr. and so happy that one day soon he’ll deliver our bundle of joy. Wouldn’t have it any other way.

Great doctor, so glad I went. When other gynecologists said I needed surgery, Serden recommended I not. He was right. He is confident and smart and conservative in his approach. Calls back quickly when I have concerns.

I have never met such a caring and great doctor! Dr. Serden is definitely the best ob/​gyn in LA. He makes you feel extremely comfortable, never rushes you, always returns a phone call, is always running on time, and really cares. His office staff is super friendly and always answer the phone. You’re never on hold waiting for long periods of time and they return phone calls quickly.

I can say enough good things about Scott Serden He is a fantastic doctor. He’s super personable. Dr Serden is an expert in his field I was single when I started seeing him in 1993
. I got married and pregnant in my early 40s Dr Serden totally put me at ease He is calm and warm. He delivered our beautiful daughter in 2003
I feel I can speak freely about anything with him. I’ve been his patient for over 20 years

As a pharmaceutical rep for the past 8 years I am quite choosy about my doctors and I pay a lot of attention to their bedside manner, knowledge, and their overall demeanor. Dr. Serden is the real deal. He always greets me with a smile and usually a hug on my way out. He takes the time to talk to me about what’s going on and I feel like he is really listening and trying to understand my issues or concerns. He answers questions thoroughly and patiently. He has called me at home after-​hours on numerous occasions for something as simple as a follow up to a well-​woman exam or to answer questions about medications. His credentials and experience speak for themselves but what makes Dr. Serden truly special is that extra effort of personal care reminiscent of a time when doctors had more time to treat patients and had strong and enduring relationships with them.

I was recommended by my best friend to Dr Serden. Dr, Serden is an amazing doctor with a very kind and caring approach .I have never had a doctor call me at home before to ask if I had any questions beforehand — Dr. Serden doing it all the time. He always returns my call, but I know he is a very busy man, and he has many patients. His office staff is also amazing. If you are looking for an obgyn I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Serden has been my GYN many years but I’d not been to his office for about five years. Recently I had an emergency situation and he and his staff were understanding and kind enough to schedule me an appointment within a couple of days. Realizing that he is scheduled to be out of the office a couple of weeks, I now appreciate how challenging this must have been and certainly beyond the call of duty. Despite being a last-​minute appointment, as soon as I completed my paperwork, I was seen by Dr. Serden immediately, first in his office for a pre-​exam consultation, then in the examination room for an exam, followed by an exit consultation after dressing and returning to Dr. Serden’s office.
I love how he runs his office. Very on-​time, proffessional, dignified and humane. There was no sense of the clock ticking as I discussed my issues with Dr. Serden or asked several questions. I’d forgotten what an outstanding, talented and amazing physician he is. His patience and bedside manner, along with the professionalism from my initial contact with his office far exceed the highest standards for medical care.

I was introduced to him by a friend’s sister, and I had never been to an ob/​gyn in the States. Well, I was very lucky that my first is Dr Serden.
He is very personable, and will answer all the questions a patient may have.
Once he obtains the lab results, he will walk through any concerns there may be.
The first appointment may take a while to book, but so well worth it to have him as your ob/​gyn. Would recommend him to anyone.
