Kim Marie Reyes, MD

I chose Dr. Reyes when she partnered with Dr. Beth Julian Wang. I selected them when I was pregnant after finding them listed in my insurance network’s directory. Unfortunately, at my first ultrasound (around 11 weeks) Dr. Reyes had to inform me that the pregnancy had ended (there was no heartbeat.) This is an awful moment for a woman flush with the joy of being pregnant, unaware anything could possibly be wrong as I was. Dr. Reyes delivered the news harshly and when I told her I wanted a second opinion began to talk about me to the nurse as if I weren’t there. Worse, she «read me the facts» of pregnancy loss in a harsh tone, implying that it was my fault for having waited too long to try to conceive (I was 36, having gotten pregnant naturally after trying to conceive, using a fertility monitor, for a year.)
The LAST thing a woman in such a sad situation needs is someone trying to BLAME her. A woman who has just been told that her Pregnancy isn’t viable needs comfort not BLAME. Based on this experience I can’t possibly recommend this doctor.

TWICE, I have been scheduled as the first appointment of the day, and BOTH times, Dr. Reyes showed up over half an hour late. When I told her I was sexually active, her response was more of a disapproving mother than a professional doctor. During the pelvic exam, she inserted her finger into my butthole without warning (NOT COOL). She scheduled me for every blood test under the sun– took me over a year to pay for that –and scheduled me to come in for results.
I showed up nervous, of course, and Dr. Reyes rushed in (late) and told me coldly that I had HPV «which could lead to cancer,» and PCOS. She then went on a ten minute rant about what it means to have PCOS, but my mind had already shut down. When she finally finished her scientific explanation, I said, «Are you telling me I have an STD?»
She sighed, and said, «You didn’t hear anything I just said, did you?»
Two years later, and with a daily dose of birth control from a much better doctor, all of my medical problems have been alleviated. Dr. Reyes made me feel dirty and disrespected, and I will never return to her office.

I am searching for a new ob gyn because sadly Dr. Reyes has retired. She was amazing! She helped me deliver all three of my children. I loved that she was open and comitted to her religion. I loved that she prayed over the birth of my babies. I loved that she wasn’t another cookie cutter Dr. just following what they were taught to do in medical school. She took incredible care of me and my babies while I was pregnant. I read the 1 star reviews and I feel sad that they didn’t realize what a gem Dr Reyes was. Yes, she was direct and ran her practice with conviction in her beliefs. I admire anyone that doesn’t allow society to force them to follow everyone else’s ways. With Kim she was more than a Dr. she was a friend and someone I trusted my babies with. I miss her.

Billing department Blows… Client has motion Picture insurance refused to submit claim for office visit even though they collected thousands of dollars for major surgery and sent to Collections. Refused to fix… Don’t go there if you have insurance. ruin your credit
Evelyn at billing refused to take any responsible and advised billing insurance is a courtesy.. BEWARE.

This is by far the Worst Dr’s office EVER. I stopped going. Aside from the Birth Control issue, and her not prescribing it, Their receptionists are TERRIBLE. They NEVER do what they need to. They over book and you end up waiting an hour or more! I was left 45 min in the waiting room AND then when they got me in the room i was there another 45 min ! ridiculous ! The VERY last visit i had with them, and will ever have, is when they LOST my test. Yes thats right. THEY LOST IT!!! the lab never received it, and ALL the woman at the front desk could say was «oh, they never got it… i don’t know what happen». This BTW was told to me MONTHS later when i went in to request something. She never called to tell me i had to re-​do or anything. WORST DR’s OFFICE !!!

I went to this doctor when I first moved to L. A about 2.5 years ago. WHAT A NIGHTMARE! She doesn’t prescribe B. C because they are Catholic. Whatever you believe is fine by me, but this is HEALTH CARE we’re talking about. The least this office can do is inform every new patient that they don’t perscribe B. C before you decide to go through with the appt.
Fine…I let it go. Got my pap-​smear and never heard back from them about the results. Eventually I called, and they said they lost the test…
Do i really need to continue…

As in Cori’s experience, I am no longer a patient of Dr. Reyes solely due to the fact that she no longer prescribes oral contraceptives. For me personally this birth control option is critical, so after almost ten years as a patient I had to find a new doctor.

I gave birth to my baby in ’03 but my main OB was Dr. Julian-​Wang (who was WONDERFUL but left & went to Pasadena). I only saw Dr. Reyes a few times. Once I waited in the waiting room for 2 hours, then waited in the actual room for at least 45 min. She came in, rushed us & we left… had to pay parking for that visit was NOT fun. Another visit the baby wasn’t moving as much as she wanted her to be. So after freaking both my husband & I out saying that we may have to do an emergency C-​section (at 34 weeks or so) she had us go to the hospital where the nurses even said that she jumps to quickly. She finally answered her phone after the nurses kept calling her to see if I could leave (after not finding anything wrong) & I couldn’t hear a word she said, on her cell, driving. I was SOOO happy that when I was eventually induced that she was NOT on-​call. I even asked the desk to make sure that Dr. Julian-​Wang was going to be there. Had Dr. Reyes been there, I would’ve had a C-​section because she wouldn’t of waited the 15 hours of labor that I went through.

So sad to hear the others didn’t have as positive of an experience as I have had with Dr. Reyes.
Yes, Dr. Reyes prefers natural family planning and holistic options. However, her reasons are sound and she is willing to work with you to best meet your medical needs. She just prefers it does not involve hormone-​purging medicines. Though I was a bit skeptical of this at first, Dr. Reyes was very informative and honest with her medical preferences, and won me over by the end of the visit.
I can say with confidence that my visit with Dr. Reyes was my most positive medical encounter — ever! She listened to every word I uttered with care and compassion. In addition to examining my medical history, she wanted to dig down into my life story for a larger picture of my health. She even offered to pray with me, and said I could call her office any time with questions, concerns, or simply for prayer! Love it! She took the time to talk with me after I left the examination room and go over diet choices and vitamin supplements. She got on her hands and knees to get some handouts on the Christian spirituality of healing out of a filing cabinet to share with me. I couldn’t help but hug her and her staff when I was done — if only all doctors offices were so honest and genuine!
Her office is now located at 1624 West Olive in Burbank; the staff speak both English and Spanish.

I went to Dr. Reyes for about 4 years (of course, never even met her). It was always OK. It was close to home so I figured it was better than nothing.
My prescription for birth control pills ran out and I called to ask them to give me a one month extension because I got married and things were hectic. Come to find out, she no longer prescribes BCPs! Now, I’m supposed to be on day 1 of the pill, but I’m left our to dry (and so is my new husband!). This is completely ludicrous. They wouldn’t even consider a one month grace period. And they were rude on the phone. I have never encountered anything like this, and I definitely will NEVER recommend Dr. Reyes to anyone I care about.
So here I am, having to find a new Gynecologist in no time flat all because they suddenly changed their practice 180 degrees. It seems that they have no consideration for their clientèle.
