Beach Cities Medicine: David H. Wallis, MD

"A part of me wants to keep Dr Wallis a secret but on rare occasions you run into someone so great you just feel obligated to let people know, Dr Wallis and his team at Beach Cities Medicine are such people. For years I paid an arm and a leg to see all the big shot Beverly Hills doctors thinking they must be expensive for a reason. I had pretty much just accepted that it was unreasonable to expect good service from a doctor’s office. Good service in general seems to be a thing of the past but Dr Wallis created his private practice to be able to give each of his patients the time and attention necessary to provide an exceptional experience. There is a reasonable annual fee but I have found that I am saving money with the costs of doctor visits. Dr Wallis is truly a brilliant doctor so it’s no surprise all the professional sports teams in LA have used him. Yet he is incredibly humble and down to earth. He’s just a really great guy and very friendly. He’s done a lot of volunteer work in developing countries, that’s just the kind of guy he is. In my experience even if you’re able to find a great doctor, their office is always poorly managed but that is not the case with the Beach Cities Medical Team. They are all very well organized and friendly. There is no sense of being rushed like you get with everyone else. Last Friday night I discovered I would be running out of my prescription on Tuesday, being that Monday was Presidents’ Day I had already resigned myself to the fact that I wouldn’t be able to get it refilled in time but I emailed them anyways at 10:17pm asking for the prescription to be refilled. Without me ever needing to speak with them again the prescription was delivered to me on Tuesday. Good luck finding another doctor’s office that will do that. If you’re tired of having bad experiences with doctors give Dr. Wallis a try, you’ll be glad you did."

"I recently switched my internist to Dr. Wallis, and to say that he has been the most thorough physician that I have ever been to, is an understatement. He took the time to really understand all of my medical needs and concerns and addressed all of them. He actually helped me with an issue that no other internist or specialist was ever able to figure out. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Wallis. To top it off, he also happens to be a really cool guy with a staff that is second to none. Going to his office is really a pleasure, they are truly one of a kind. I wish I had made this change years ago."

"Dr Wallis and his team have been fantastic and are a pleasure to work with. Dr. Wallis is a great doctor and his team is incredibly easy to work with and all are to be commended for creating a great patient experience."

"I have been a regular patient of Dr. Wallis and his care team for almost 20 years. Choosing to stay with the same doctor for that long may speak for itself but let me add that Dr. Wallis and his team have always been very knowledgeable, caring, responsive and personable. I feel like he always views me as a “whole person,” with continuity across visits and with a holistic view of my health and welfare. He always gives thoughtful and well-considered advice in a kind but direct manner. I trust Dr. Wallis and look forward to being his patient for at least another 20 years to come!"

"My experience w/Dr Wallis & his staff has been nothing short of fantastic. I started w/him about 5 years ago because my internist was retiring soon & I wanted a new doctor who knew his stuff, was a good listener, detailed oriented & conscientious. Dr Wallis was recommended to me by a colleague who is a health care professional like myself. I found Dr Wallis to be all those things & more. I love his business model. Iʻm never put on hold for more than a few seconds, if at all when I call his office. His staff are professional, friendly & conscientious. If they tell you they will follow through w/whatever you are requesting, you can bet on it being done. If I call due to a medical problem, Iʻm promptly scheduled to be seen that day. The appointments are scheduled with enough time for Dr Wallis to spend as long as he needs to listen to me describe my symptoms, repeat them back to me to make sure he accurately understands what Iʻm describing, do a thorough exam, make his diagnosis, explain it to me as well as my treatment options & answers all my questions. He follows up your appointment with a call or email to see how you are doing after starting a treatment. He makes himself available whenever there is a need for a specialist/specialists to consult with him on a diagnosis or treatment. He also takes your call if you need to speak to him after hours. I know all this from personal experience & could not be more appreciative for his & his staffʻs services. Doctor T"
