I Am Here To Help

My first priority in leading a successful practice is giving my patients the expert care they need and deserve. Together we will journey from a preliminary intake at my office.  This is a process that includes a detailed history and physical exam to determine what tests, including laboratory tests and imaging, may be needed.

Next, we conduct tests with state-of-the-art technology to arrive at a diagnosis and produce an effective treatment plan. A correct diagnosis can mean better quality of life—and oftentimes even a saved life. I am with you all the way.

Dr. Berookim saved my life. I can’t stress that enough. I was admitted to the hospital back in October and my internist referred me to Dr. B. He immediately got me in for testing. – Lauren H.

Over the years, I have discovered a way to prioritize my patients.  This has led to remarkable success stories and patient satisfaction. Along with arriving at the proper diagnosis, I place great emphasis on cancer prevention of the esophagus, stomach and the colon. As Benjamin Franklin said, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

My Skills as a Gastroenterologist

I am a board-certified Gastroenterologist and have enjoyed many successes in my specialty. I am an honorary member of the Fellow of the American College of Gastroenterology (FACG) which is granted only to the Top GI doctors in the nation in recognition of expertise and accomplishments.  As a member of various colleges and societies, I placed a unique emphasis on continually educating myself on the latest and most advanced procedures and treatments in the field.  I have received many awards including Best Gastroenterologist in Los Angeles, and been recognized by magazines including Los Angeles Magazine Top Doctors and Super Doctors as one of America’s top gastroenterologists.

My Journey to Medicine

It was clear that medicine was my future even as a teen. At the age of 16, I suffered a head injury while playing on the ice. Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs), were the first responders who stabilized me at the scene.  They stayed by my side in the emergency room for several hours to assure my well being until my parents could be reached. Observing their skill and compassion was the reason I went on to become an EMT in high school. That was just the beginning. During my fourth year of medical school, I studied under a passionate physician who practiced gastroenterology. From this exposure, I saw the tremendous good that this specialty could do and the unique opportunity it allowed me to develop meaningful relationships with my patients. His mentoring was the major influence that led me to this wonderful specialty.

It is rare to find a doctor that is knowledgeable in his field AND has great bedside manners but that’s exactly what you get with Dr. Berookim. –David E.

My Family

On a personal note, my wife is also a physician and together we have three young children. Balancing my busy work schedule by spending valuable time with my family is extremely important to me.  My passions are traveling and sports of all kinds–skiing, tennis, basketball, and recently working on my golf game. I am happy to say my children have become big sports fans just like their dad.
