It's not in Pasadena but Cedars Sinai has a PCOS center of some sort that is supposed to be very good. I have not been yet but I hear it's a good place to go.

No, I have not...but I also havent been looking. Maybe if you called Cedar Sinai they might be able to direct you to a practitioner in the pasadena area.

best wishes!

I did have a referral, though don't know if it was necessary (since I don't think my insurance covers anything infertility related...)

Dr Kornafel (MD, PhD) was up-to-date with current diagnostic/treatment standards, very friendly, easy to talk to, took time to explain how things works (we were in her office for a whole hour!) and was happy to answer questions.

Default Great Doc in Pasadena area

I found a great doc in the Pasadena area several years ago who diagnosed and really helped me with my pcos. His name is Dr. Morrison and he's in Arcadia.
