James Elist, MD

He is kind and knowledgable He is the best so if the staff is punctual and extraordinarily helpful I don’t think you could find anyone is skilled in his profession

I was referred to Dr. Elist by my son’s doctor, Dr. Doostan, due to a Hydrocele which was making my son’s pants not fit right. He is only in high school so he was very self conscious. Dr. Elist took my son in with his step father and saw the situation. He made my son feel very comfortable and explained that he needed surgery. I was a little shaken up when I heard surgery being he was my son, but Dr. Elist and his PA reassured me and my son was very upbeat about it. So I started to relax. His office staff, Silvia, was very sweet and did the insurance verification quickly and we are making the surgery appointment shortly.
I was impressed with Dr. Elist being he knew Dr. Doostan and my boss very well. I would recommend him to anyone with a urology problem as his demeanor was both professional and personable. Way to to Dr. Elist and staff. Thanks a million!!!

I visited Dr James Elist 3 times for the same problem and he always gave me medication based not on any analysis but from our talk. When i visited him forth time he said i have to visit another doctor for a second opinion. I spent money on medication but nothing helped

I consulted with Dr. Elist recently at his office, he listened to me, and I think he understood immediately what the issue was. He recommended an easy solution and a more difficult one. I will try the easy solution soon to see if it works. He spent the time to talk with me and I did not feel rushed. So, I give him five stars for the consultation. However, I must remove one star because the office wait was about 35 minutes later than my scheduled appointment time.

Exceeded my expectations in everyway! Dr. Elist and his staff made me feel very comfortable. The results I have seen are fantastic. Thank You Dr. Elist!

Doctor Elist has been my doctor since 2008. He has helped me with, erectile dysfunction, he removed a growth I had in my scrotum and he has also increased the size of my penis which has given me much more confidence. I feel he is a fantastic doctor and I would never think of going to any other urologist.

Hello Unilocalers,
My husband and I have been trying to conceive for quite some time now. My doctor recommended my husband have a consultation with a urologist after seeing some abnormalities with his sperm analyses. I found Dr. Elist on Unilocal.His receptionist Silvia was extremely friendly and very patient in answering all my questions. She was also very accommodating in scheduling us in ASAP.
The day of our appointment Everyone in the office was extremely kind an helpful. Everyone had a positive attitude and a welcoming smile. Something you don’t usually see at clinics. When we finally met Dr. Elist he was very patient with answering all our questions, he did not rush us and took his time explain further treatment for my husband.
This is what my husband had to say:
Just had my first visit with Dr. Elist and he was very informative in regards to my sperm diagnosis, getting the right tests, and proper medication. He communicates very well and I left with concise knowledge about fertility. Last, he drew my blood, quick and painless.
Both my husband and I, are extremely happy to have found Dr. Elist! I would highly recommend him to any couple dealing with male infertility.

I met with Dr Elist in April for a necessary procedure. He was very professional and helpful in answering all my questions. My surgery went very well and I’m very happy with the result. Dr. Elist has been very attentive with my recovery — scheduling multiple follow-​up appointments. I’m happy I went with Dr. Elist over other physicians for my particular issue.

I have know Dr Elist for a number of years professionally and socially. He is at the top of his profession.
People travel from all over the world to visit him at his Beverly Hills practice, I have had the chance to meet many of these patients and the common thread is the way Dr Elist’s procedures have changed their lives for the better.
His manner, bearing and conduct are faultless and his work is of the highest quality. He lives and breathes his profession — a dedicated and genuine individual.

I went to see Dr. Elist’s about two years ago for a second opinion because my wife and I were unable to successfully have kids. After interviewing and examining me, he determined that I had a varicocele on my testicle and it was causing my infertility. Shortly after he was able to successfully remove the varicocele. I can happily say that today, thanks to Dr. Elist, my wife and I are the proud parents of a beautiful three-​month-​old boy. Not only did he save my marriage, but without his help and guidance I don’t think I would be where I am today.
