Santa Monica Gastroenterologist Dr. David Yamini Named Best Gastroenterologist in Santa Monica in BusinessRate Best of 2026 Awards

BusinessRate has recognized David P. Yamini, MD, with its Best of 2026 award for gastroenterology in Santa Monica, a distinction drawn from verified customer feedback and publicly available Google review data. Dr. Yamini is double board certified in Gastroenterology and treats patients from offices in Santa Monica and Beverly Hills.

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BusinessRate has named David P. Yamini, MD, the Best Gastroenterologist in Santa Monica for 2026 as part of its Best of 2026 awards program. The recognition, communicated to the practice in an award letter dated August 13, 2026, is based on verified customer feedback and publicly available review data compiled by BusinessRate, with rankings drawn from Google reviews within each business category and market.

BusinessRate describes its Best of 2026 program as a review-driven recognition that identifies businesses ranked highly within their category and geographic market. According to the company, its evaluation draws on a review database spanning more than 26 million businesses and 1.7 billion reviews compiled over 18 years. The Best of 2026 designation for gastroenterology in Santa Monica reflects the volume and consistency of patient feedback the practice has received rather than a clinical or peer-review evaluation.

Dr. Yamini has practiced gastroenterology on the Los Angeles Westside for more than twelve years, seeing patients from offices at 2021 Santa Monica Blvd. in Santa Monica and 8920 Wilshire Blvd. in Beverly Hills. A Los Angeles native, he completed his undergraduate degree at the University of California, Los Angeles, earned his medical degree at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, completed Internal Medicine residency training at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, and completed fellowship training in the Department of Gastroenterology and Liver Diseases at Loma Linda University Medical Center. He has been credentialed at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center since 2010 and at Providence Saint John's Health Center since 2014.

The practice treats conditions affecting the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, liver, gallbladder and pancreas, including acid reflux and GERD, irritable bowel syndrome, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, inflammatory bowel disease, peptic ulcer disease, celiac disease, hemorrhoids, hepatitis, fatty liver disease and cirrhosis. Screening colonoscopy and upper endoscopy are performed at accredited ambulatory surgical centers, while wireless capsule endoscopy, SIBO breath testing and rubber band ligation of hemorrhoids are performed within the Santa Monica and Beverly Hills offices. Across his career Dr. Yamini has performed more than 5,000 endoscopic procedures.

Patient reviews frequently cite the same practice characteristics: same-day appointment availability at both locations, consultations that are not rushed, in-office diagnostic testing that avoids an outside referral, and follow-up communication handled directly by Dr. Yamini. Those operational choices are the ones most visible to patients and most likely to be reflected in the public review record that informs the BusinessRate ranking.

Alongside the review-based recognition, Dr. Yamini has been named to Castle Connolly Top Doctors, Super Doctors and Los Angeles magazine Top Doctors lists, most recently in 2026, honors determined substantially through nomination by physician peers. He has authored and presented more than twenty peer-reviewed papers, abstracts and posters, with published work appearing in journals including the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, Liver International, Digestion and the Journal of Viral Hepatitis, and research presented at the annual meetings of the American College of Gastroenterology and Digestive Disease Week.

"Patients do not leave a review because of a credential on the wall. They leave one because somebody listened, explained what was actually going on, and followed up," said Dr. Yamini. "Most of the people who come to see me have already been told their symptoms are nothing. Being recognized on the strength of what those patients said afterward means the part of this work that matters most is the part that is showing up."

Dr. Yamini is an active member of the American Gastroenterological Association, the American College of Gastroenterology and the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy.
