Kevin R Pimstone, MD

Best. Doctor. Ever. That’s all you need to know. If you want a doctor who will write prescriptions based on your complaints — this isn’t your guy. If you want a guy who cares not only about fixing broken anatomy but about the well-​being of the person, go out of your way to see him. I drive over an hour to see him for all my upkeep and visit a local urgent care to fix sniffles and sneezes. Dr. Pimstone is everything that is right about the medical field. Period.

I waited 12 minutes to to make an appointment. They says the average wait time is 10+ minutes.

Dr. Pimstone really is a great doctor, my only problem is not with him, but having to wait on line 10 minutes just to get an appt.

Dr. Pimstone is an attentive and personable doctor who does NOT feel the need to push products. It really doesn’t get better when the doctor is truly concerned about what you need. One of the best I’ve seen!

FIve Stars! I first went to Dr Pimstone on a referal from a family friend that was extremely satisfied with her care. Dr. Pimstone has been my Primary Physician since 2005. He is very focused my care and concerns each time I meet with him. He is easy to talk with bluntly about my health. He asks questions about my general health and specific follow up during each appointment. He takes time to discuss my concerns until my questions are anwered. He makes re-​fill prescriptions easy. He personally called me to follow up with me about my progress and my condition after I saw him.
He is a very smart and informed doctor. In May 2012, He discovered I had a very rare virus in adults when I felt sick by asking me questions. He explained the situation clearly and gave me treatment options. He confirmed his diagnosis through a blood test and personally made an appointment to two specialist for same day appointments. The situation was much worse than expected and I was treated at UCLA Westwood and am currently in recovery. The Neurologists at UCLA Westwood told me I was lucky to have such an engaged doctor to catch something so unlikely. He is moving his practice to Westlake Village in July and I will make the trip to visit him at his new office even though I live in West Los Angeles. I strongly recommend Dr. Pimstone.

I have only been seeing Dr. Pimstone since January 2012 when our insurance changed but I can say he is by far the most thorough and conscientious doctor I have ever experienced (and I’m in my 60’s!).
I came to him with a problem that ultimately required serious surgery. Dr. Pimstone always takes the time to listen and ask questions, and he made sure to have the appropriate tests done to determine the problem. In addition, his referrals have been outstanding.
Dr. Pimstone’s follow-​up has been nothing short of extraordinary — calling me in to discuss the diagnosis and checking up on me after surgery to make sure I understood the results.
I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Pimstone as the most compassionate and competent doctor.

I have been a patient of Dr. Pimstone for 6 years. Even though I have moved to Orange County I have kept him as my primary physician due to the fact that he is one of the few doctors that truly care and take the time to really know their patients. I suggest you visit him for yourself

I’ve been going to Dr. Pimstone for over 5 years now and he is really one of those doctors that really care about his patients. He is of the «old school» where he still has bedside manners and never rushes you off. He actually listens to what you have to say. He follows up, even after office hours to see how you are doing.
I picked him, because he is close to work and I made the right choice. Believe me, If he were to have a practice near my house, I would make him our «family» doctor.

Dr. Pimstone has been my doctor for 13 years. He’s so patient and has always called me back the same day I’ve called him if I had a question. He’s honest and caring. He called me back the other day just to tell me my blood work was fine… how many doctors do that? I have actually picked insurance so that he could continue to be my doctor. I HIGHLY recommend him!

I moved from Oregon, where I’d had a fantastic primary care doctor for 10 years. I was skeptical I would be able to find someone comparable in Los Angeles, but I DID! One of my coworkers suggested Dr. Pimstone; she said he was a wonderful doctor and she was right. He is very kind, unhurried (he didn’t make me feel like I was on a patient assembly line), and really listens. He also has a wonderful sense of humor, which makes it a lot easier to discuss sensitive issues. His office staff is pleasant, friendly and professional. They don’t validate parking but, if you don’t mind a 5 minute walk, you can park free on Bundy before you get to San Vicente, or on Montana, the street that runs parallel to San Vicente.

Great Doctor.

Dr. Pimstone is kind, generous and has a great bedside manner. On top of that, he returns phonecalls promptly. It may only take a minute or two, but considering the demands on his time, it’s a sign he cares for his patients.

Dr. Kevin Pimstone has been my primary care physician for almost ten years and displays both professionalism but also is very personable and I feel comfortable telling him any and all of my concerns in relation to my health and things going on in my life. He’s always kind and allowed me to bend his ear. I highly recommend him for both young and old patients looking for a Doctor whom displays a genuine concern for his patients well being.

Dr. Pimstone is an amazing doctor. He truly cares about his patients… he will listen to you and take the time to answer all your questions… if you want a doctor who is passionate about his job and his patients then Dr. Pimstone is your man…
Im lucky to have found this doctor!

I did a little homework before choosing a primary care physician. Unilocal and
made Dr. Pimstone look promising so I went ahead and scheduled an appointment. I love that it was so easy to make an appointment. Compared to when I had Kaiser and had to wait several months before I could see my primary care physician.
All the other reviews are pretty much on point. Dr. Pimstone makes you feel like he really cares about you. He really lets you take the time to talk and ramble. I feel like tempo of his speech is slower than other physicians that I’ve seen. It reassures you that he’s really listening. He’s not just acting on autopilot, listening to a complaint and shooting out some textbook answer.
There’s metered parking on the streets that’s significantly cheaper than parking in the building. I’m horrible with parallel parking, however, so I’ve decided to just suck it up and pay a few dollars extra. Parking’s not validated.

Have been seeing Doctor Pimstone for over 5 years and can’t say enough about this practice. If you’re looking for a compassionate internal medicine doc that has great referrals as well — look no further. Happy to see him back with UCLA– as the network rocks — although the new office feels a little hectic…

Pimstone is a great doc. Nice, attentive, quick. He really ASKS you how you feel and what you’re concerned about. Personable bedside manner. Always very reassuring. My hands-​down pick for a great Marina internist. UCLA educated.
