Essam Taymour, MD

Unfortunately, I knew I would have to have surgery, again.
The first time I had this procedure, it was with a different Doctor and it was a horrible experience, but my second was great and it was because of Dr. Taymour and his team.
Look for another doctor, No way! Due to circumstances, I didn’t/couldn’t monitor this fibroid like I wanted to. But I knew where to go when I could.
He’s an excellent Doctor. I ACCIDENTALLY, REFERRED TO HIM AS MY PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN AND TRIED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR MY PHYSICAL.
Not big on chit chatting. Not looking for it. I needed his expertise and I got it. Concerned? Have questions? Very open to answering all your questions. He’s a really nice doctor. I have referred my mom, sister and now my cousin to him.
My mom and sister love him.
I know he cares and it shows in how he listens and addressed all my concerns. Like the last, this surgery was another amazing experience. Thank you, Dr. Taymour!!!
I pray you don’t have to but if you have to have surgery, I recommend Dr. Taymour.
I thank the Lord, for sending me a caring and dedicated Doctor!

Dr. Taymour is very professional. Explains every drop of what he wants you to know. Makes you feel comfortable and has the time to listen.
Alana, is such a great nurse. I felt very comfortable with her, she’s not like other nurses that are just doing her job. She’s very friendly and very nice! Gave me a couple is laughs.
Highly recommended!

Im updating my review as I have given birth and my pregnacy is over. I am still going to recommend Dr. Taymour. Here is the truth, if you are looking for a friend, do not go to him. If you are looking for chit chat, do not go to him. However, if you want a wonderful doctor who knows what he is doing efficiency, go quickly to Dr. Taymour. He knows his stuff and well. He will not chat with you, but he will answer straight questions. He can be late to appointments by a while, but every time he was, he had surgery or emergency at the hospital. He never canceled an appt.
AS TO MY EXPERIECE WITH HIM:
I had a hard time bc at first I wanted and expected a Dr who would talk a lot… He is not one. He got down to the point if and when there was a problem. He doesn’t joke or chit chat. My pregnancy was rough, and my labor was even rougher. But I’m glad I had Dr. Taymour. He was efficient when he knew I needed a csecection and assured me I would be fine, even when I freaked out. We had a great surgery and I was up and going a few hours Later (which isn’t normal). He even came to visit and check on me and the baby in nicu twice. His office staff is great, and I loved Alana who was my nurse throughout my pregnancy and esp wiki started going twice a week at 30 weeks.
I def Recommend Dr. T.

After a terrible experience with another OB/​GYN doctor, I am so glad I found Dr. Taymour as my new doctor. When I met him, he made sure to ask me questions for information he needed to know, as well as answer all my questions in great detail. He is very genuine with his patients, which I appreciated very much. The nurses and staff are very nice and helpful as well, which made me feel welcome and comfortable.
I wish I could say more, but giving too much information is too much information, in a medical sense, haha. Overall, I just am very happy with this doctor and I will continue visiting him from now on. Thanks!

I give Dr. Taymour five stars because he saved my mom’s life. Last year my mom was diagnosed with cervical cancer and after talking, asking… pretty much begging other doctors in the San Gabriel Valley to take my mom’s uterus out they turned her down and instead they wanted to start chemo/​radiation. We desperately searched for a different doctor and were referred to Dr. Taymour, we made an appt and he did a vaginal ultrasound the day my mom went to his office the first time something they never did at other medical facilities. Dr. Taymour is very professional and explains everything very well. A month after my mom’s first appt. she had a hysterectomy. The surgery went well and my mom’s recovery was fast. Dr. Taymour called our house and asked how my mom was doing. That was very nice:)
Since my mom doesn’t have health insurance, her surgery was paid in cash (price was very reasonable). He and his staff will work with you. They are awesome and I Thank God we came across him.
Dr. Taymour Es un gran medico. El año pasado mi madre fue diagnosticada con cancer en el cuello de la matriz. Vivimos en El Monte y los medicos no le quisieron sacar la matriz primero le querian dar quimioterapias y radiaciones y despues sacarsela. Entonces buscamos a otro medico que si estaba dispuesto hacerlo y mi mama no sufriera mas. Ella estaba tan desesperada que se iba ir a Mexico pero gracias a Dios dimos con Dr. Taymour. Hicimos cita y lo primero are hizo fue hacerle un ultrasonido vaginal a mi mama y luego nos explico bien lo que estaba pasando y si acepto que sacarle la matriz era la mejor opcion. mi mama no tiene aseguranza medica y pago toda la cirujia cash. El doctor y sus empleadas le ayudan a llegar a un areglo con lo de el dinero para pagar la cirujia. Son muy flexibles .La cirujia fue muy rapido y mi mama sano bien. El Dr. Taymour nos hablo personalmente a casa para ver que mi mama estaba bien. Muchos medicos no lo hacen. Lo recomendamos al 100%

I AM NOT pleased with Dr. Taymor’s services. He saw a cyst (which might be a bartholin gland cyst) And yelled out «What is this!». Scared Me so much. I was shocked of his response (even the nurse looked at him awkwardly). Then he basically tells me to hush because he was thinking, For in his 34 years of work he has never seen one my size of cyst! How Embarrassing! I was shocked and embarrassed. I already requested for another OBGYN. He is unprofessional AND he told me my insurance SUCKS! Who says that. I have insurance Thank You Very Much. I will take my self somewhere else. Just don’t expect a sincere Dr– Let me tell you.

Dr. Taymour was referred to me after I suffered a miscarriage and it was the best referral I’ve ever had. Dr. Taymour is very knowledgeable and thorough. He is very patient and his staff are really nice. This combination is very hard to come by.
Anytime I call his office with any question, Dr. Taymour always stops what he is doing to answer my questions. I finally feel like I have the right person on my team and he makes me feel like know I am in good hands.
UPDATE: He delivered two healthy boys for me :-) My first was born in 2012. My second was born in 2015 :-) Flawless execution!

Dr. Taymour’s team is always accommodating/​friendly and they run a very efficient office. I never have to wait more than 10 minutes before they check me in and Dr. Taymour is never far behind. I was under Dr. Taymour’s care during/​after 2 pregnancies. He is very calm, direct and Answered any questions I had (often citing research which I appreciate as a healthcare professional). I was referred for further testing with my second as he thought she was small for age and there was no delay with getting appointments for further testing. I highly recommend Dr. Taymour. He definitely is an experienced OB who will clearly present information and answer questions. During the deliveries themselves he was very calm which was also reassuring. He is a seasoned Obstetrician who knows his «trade» very well and advocates for his patients when needed (with my second he sent me from his office to the hospital and met me there. When he arrived I still wasn’t in a room… he made sure I got checked in immediately as he knew my labor was progressing quickly… I had my baby 2 hours later). Thank you Dr. Taymour and staff!

Had a laparoscopic surgery for my endometriosis and poly cystic ovaries yesterday, my third with Dr. Taymour since 2001. Although his bedside manner is very straightforward, he is the BEST obgyn in the area! I have been to doctors all over the country for my PCOS after having a few miscarriages over the years but doctor Taymour is the one who fixed me and I have two teenagers now with no IVF. I LOVE HIM and he is on my family’s prayer list forever now! I have read his other reviews here and it’s true he may not be very reassuring if you are an anxious person because he is very straightforward and he is like a father figure you don’t want to disappoint. But in the end have faith in him and trust his judgment and just do what he says because he knows what he is talking about! His nurses are very helpful in answering questions you may have lingering and can always call them to ask anything you are worried about. He works with a great group of doctors for breast care and other things so his referrals are always going to be to high quality specialists. He also has a hand in a surgical center on long beach blvd that is better than going to long beach memorial for minor procedures like mine. I remember when it was really hard to get an appointment with him before he expanded so if you can become a patient of Dr Taymor it would be a blessing for you and your family. Everyone I have ever sent to him has had relief and improved their health. I myself am at a healthy weight with regular cycles and greatly improved quality of life ONLY because of his guidance and my willingness to trust in him. Long live Dr. Taymor!

Dr. Taymour has been great. I have had continual vaginal infections for over a year. Dr. Taymour had tried everything to cure it, and nothing worked. I have a thinning vaginal wall which has caused severe burning during intercourse and urination. He told me about a new procedure called Mona Lisa, a laser treatment that thickens and lubricates the vaginal wall. It consists of three consecutive treatments and then once annually. The infections are gone. I highly recommend this procedure and Dr.Taymour.

I just had a second surgery by Dr. Taymour. I can’t say enough nice things about Dr. Taymour and his staff. Both times, several years apart, the office staff has been both friendly and efficient. Because of the nature of my problems, I was able to be seen quickly, the problems evaluated and surgically resolved.
Dr. Taymour is compassionate but has a no-​nonsense approach. We discussed what was going on and what the outcome should be. He took excellent care of me and after each surgery followed up in person. This evening he called to see how I was feeling. I appreciate that.
I highly recommend Dr. Taymour for any feminine medical needs. He definitely gets 5 stars.

I can’t thank Dr. Taymour enough he was so helpful and wonderful. i had a bad experience and procedure done and had bad results that gave me more problems that i expected a… that were done in this other gyn facility on long beach blvd. all women doctors… anyways …when my own pcp told me to go see Dr. Taymour i did he explained everything about the oblation… i had previously done at this other office wrong thing to do I REGRET IT… …he told me i had to have a laparoscopic hysterectomy which i had done and i feel WONDERFULLLLLLL!!! i feel like knew i strongly recommend Dr. taymour…

I have been a patient of Dr T since 1991. I love him! I drive 45 miles to see him.
I was experiencing severe pain with intercourse. Dr Taymour treated me with a new procedure called the Mona Lisa”. It has been life changing. My husband and I are both very happy with the results. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is having the same problem.

We just had our first baby, and Dr. Taymour is my first ob/​gyn since moved here in California. I’m very lucky to find such a great doctor for my first pregnancy. For either my woman’s need or another future baby, I will definitely stick with him. The office staffs and nurses are great, very professional and friendly.

15 years ago I moved back to Long Beach and was looking for an OBGYN. After a couple of bad referrals, I did some research and found Dr. Taymour. I’ve been seeing him now for about 12 years. He is, by far, the best! Major pluses of his practice: 1. Minimal wait times to be seen, 2. Very friendly and helpful nurses, and 3. Dr. Taymour is respectful and honest — tells it like it is. I struggled with fertility issues and he was sympathetic, but not coddling. I’ve had a few surgical procedures (laperscopic) and my recovery has always been quick — and I believe his minimally invasive techniques are to thank. He is a kind and gentle doctor, and I highly recommend him.

Best doctor ever. Straight to the point no BS
Tells you what’s wrong what you need to do about it. He fixed it, made it possible for me and my fiancé have an opportunity to have children.
Hardly any marks after my surgery
he did it all laparoscopically
minimal pain
If I had to do it all over again I would go straight to him instead of screwing around with other doctors

Amazing! My mother referred Taymour to me when I found out I was pregnant and he has been a blessing. His office staff is incredible! The girls are sociable, open, and a pleasure to be around. Taymour is not chatty but he tells you what you need to know and that’s all I need. He’s blunt, honest, and direct. I will continue to come to him for years to come. Truly blessed to have found him and his staff.

I can not say enough great things about Dr. Taymour. He’s so passionate about his work and he’s great at what he does. Very caring and always takes the time to explain things. He delivered my first baby and dealt with all my millions of questions, fears and anxieties wonderfully. I highly recommend him!

Dr. Taymour has been my OB/​GYN and primary care physician for the last 34 years. He delivered my three children and performed some necessary medical procedures, both inpatient and outpatient. I have found him to be warm, caring, professional and extremely knowledgeable. He gives excellent medical advice, is always willing to listen, and is always available by telephone for after hours emergencies. Although his office is not convenient to my home or office — I have lived in Orange County for the last twenty years — I have never even considered changing doctors. I would highly recommend Dr. Taymour to anyone who is looking for a professional, competent, and very experienced doctor.

Dr. Taymour did me the service of removing a couple of tumors from my ovaries last year. It was after my ER visit to Long Beach Memorial Medical Center with a rupture that I realized the importance of seeing an ob-​gyn, rather than a PA, every year for my «women’s health stuff.» Making & changing appointments with his office is easy, and he’s located in a somewhat-​shady part of Long Beach just off Atlantic Ave (great proximity to LBMMC, which is probably why he did my surgery!). Park in the lot behind the office; if you park to the left you are in the CVS lot and apparently they will tow your car (so says the sign!).
Although it’s only been a year, I do feel more confident in the exams I’m getting, and that any weird growths or abnormalities will be caught sooner than they were before. I also like that he follows the newer guidance from the ACOG that recommends a 2-​year schedule for paps, rather than every year, so long as your results are normal and your recent history is clear. Less poking, prodding, and scraping for me!
