EDMOND M. LAZARD, M. D.

 

 

            Under leading medical instructors in this country and abroad Dr. Edmond M. Lazard made exceptionally thorough preparation for his profession, which he has followed successfully in Los Angeles for many years, and is at his best in surgical work and in the treatment of the diseases of women.  He was born in Los Angeles, March 20, 1876, a son of Solomon and Caroline (Newmark) Lazard, who settled here in pioneer times.

            After mastering the branches of learning taught in the grammar and high schools of his city Dr. Lazard enrolled in the University of Southern California, which awarded him the M. D. degree in 1897, and he supplemented this by post-graduate work in Berlin, Dresden and Munich, Germany, and Paris, France, the leading medical centers of the world.  Well equipped, he entered upon his professional career in Los Angeles in 1902 and has practiced here for thirty-two years.  A renowned specialist in gynecology and obstetrics, Dr. Lazard delights in research work and as a result of his scientific investigations has ascertained valuable truths.  These he has contributed to the literature of his profession and his published works include monographs on eclampsia and other obstetrical subjects.  He is senior attending obstetrician to the Los Angeles General Hospital; attending surgeon to the California Lutheran Hospital and the Cedars of Lebanon Hospital; consulting obstetrician to Hollywood Hospital; and professor of clinical obstetrics at the Loma Linda Medical College.

            On August 9, 1911, Dr. Lazard was married to Miss Ida Schwab, of Cleveland, Ohio, and they now have three children:  Flora, Rosalie and Manfred.  Dr. Lazard belongs to Los Angeles Parlor of the Native Sons of the Golden West.  His fraternal affiliations are with the various Masonic bodies, and the Independent Order of B’nai B’rith.  He has never lost the attitude of a student toward his profession, of which he is a learned exponent and distinguished representative.  His membership therein is with the Symposium Medical Society of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Obstetrical Society, the Los Angeles County Medical Society, the Southern California Medical Society, the California State Medical Society, the American Medical Association, the American Association of Obstetricians, Gynecologists, and Abdominal Surgeons.  Dr. Lazard and his family reside at 547 South Kingsley Drive, and his office is at 1930 Wilshire Road.
