Hi everyone! I'm a new member and am so happy to have all this information at my fingertips. I am in search of a doctor/obgyn in California (preferably female) who supports veganism or even vegetarianism. I live in LA, but I'm desperate so willing to travel!

I'm not familiar with the LA area, but I recommend you look for a Seventh-Day Adventist hospital/clinic. You might even call Loma Linda University Medical Center (about 75 miles east of LA) to see if they can refer you to any Seventh-Day Adventist physicians in your area.

The Seventh-Day Adventist faith stresses healthy eating and healthy lifestyle, and it embraces vegetarianism as a means to achieve this. Loma Linda University Medical Center (indeed, the entire town of Loma Linda!) was founded by Seventh-Day Adventists, and we have many doctors in the San Bernardino-Riverside County area who are graduates of Loma Linda University medical school.

My family doctor is SDA, and when I told her I was following a Vegan diet she was extremely supportive.
