Bjelica David, MD

Dr. Bjelica is «The Doctor» that has answered my prayers. I have fought with Type II Diabetes for a long time now and the first time I saw him, he had things turned around for the better for me. I have had a few ups and downs, which were all my doing, but he has stuck this out with me and sets me on the right track everytime. Thank you Dr.!!
I am forever grateful to you!!!

This is a true example of a highly decent, involved, caring physician. Dr. Bjelica is smart, impressive beyond belief, but leaving brains aside, certainly he gives quality care to his patients — more than that however he truly is concerned. He followed through with me on all aspects of my health, seemed really upset about issues and challenges and resolved to fight on and work with me to improve my life and my health. I put him in a completely different category than «factory assembly line» doctors I have seen over the years. I highly and I mean highly recommend him!

After seeing another so called Endocrinologist I was Lucky enough to get referred by a very good Friend to the WONDERFUL Dr. Bjelica. I cannot begin to tell you how detailed and precise he was. He took notes on my current medications and really seemed to care about my serious diabetes issues. The other doctor I had seen told me I was going to need 3 shots a day and I was very upset. There wasn’t even blood drawn !!!
I would highly recommend Dr B to everyone if you want someone who is professional and knowledgeable in his field.

I received a note from Unilocal that Dr Bjelica had hired a «high profile» law firm to sue me for defamation for this review! I advised them that I was a lawyer and that truth was a defense. I invited them to initiate litigation and that I was forwarding the info to the California Medical Board as I considered it to be threatening. What does this tell you about Dr. Bjelica? If you are experiencing the same results you can Google California Medical Board to file a complaint against a California physician if you feel it is appropriate. It may be. It may not be depending on the behavior but it is my opinion they do want to hear from you, from my experience.

I have been in the care of Dr. Bjelica for over 2 years now. He is ALWAYS on time, has a beautiful office (no weird smells) and his front staff have always been friendly and helpful. I have felt much better since transferring to him. Yes, he lets you know when your blood work is not good, but when it IS good, he practically dances around the room. I feel he cares for my well-​being. There is nothing wrong with telling a patient the doctor will return a call at the end of the day. If Sara C. was in an emergency situation and needed to talk to him immediately, I’m sure he would have spoken with her. He DOES return calls. Thanks for providing great care, Dr. B. and Staff. Happy I found you.

I’m not sure what’s up with the other reviews but I’ve had very good experiences with Dr. Bjelca. I have never been put on hold and have had to call daily to get blood test results. One Friday the doctor was not in to talk to me about my results but called me on SATURDAY to discuss them. He was very concerned about me and even gave me his cell phone number to reach him over the weekend. He ended up sending me to the ER and he was in touch with me and the ER doc during that time. I was able to text him the following day (Sunday) and he got right back to me. My GP who referred me to him said he was very thorough and after being sick for 9 months with no answers I did not mind his thoroughness at all.
His office is gorgeous and lacks smells of any kind. Not sure what the other reviewer was talking about.
Dr. Bjelca was able to diagnose my problem in a week after my GP and specialist at UCLA could not. He’s a great doctor.

This doctor’s prices seemed high for what i’m used to (cedars-​sinai group). But this wasn’t what turned me off.
When my labs came in, their office receptionist called to give me the results, which I’ve never experienced (though maybe this is standard in some offices?). The receptionist couldn’t answer any of my questions on the medication being prescribed, but acted like it was a strange request to talk to the doctor. «He’s very VERY busy and he sees patients ALL day long» was her reply.
«Okaaaay, I responded. I can talk to him anytime he’s available.» She said it would have to be later (no problem for me!) but still I felt like I was asking too much.
Later, after a few minutes of talking to him, in the middle of a question, he let me know he couldn’t spend any more time talking to me. Had he at least said he would call me back when he had more time I’d have fully understood.
I may be spoiled with my other doctors but after having great experiences I feel I have sound perspective. I’m sure there are plenty of patients that think this doctor is just fine, but I’m the type of person who really appreciates a good bedside manner and expects a certain level of responsiveness that I just didn’t experience with this office.

I have been seeing Dr. Bjelica for a couple years as a diabetes patient. He was recommended by my cardiologist. Dr. Bjelica is friendly and informative. But, I am no longer seeing this doctor because he began piping a strong, flowery scent into the waiting room. He claims many of his patients like the scent, but I am hypersensitive to chemical scents and found it very uncomfortable.

my wife and I both have been patients of Dr. Bjelica for several years now and he is an amazing, caring and skillful doctor. His staff is pleasant and efficient and our appts always start on time. I fully recommend him to family and friends!
