A Message from Our Founder
Creating this practice has been deferred for almost two decades; please take a few minutes to read the story that brought me to this place and the dream driving Beach Cities Medicine. While I know that this model will not be possible for the majority of the patients I’ve had the privilege of serving over the last 20 years, I’m excited to be even more integrally involved in the care and lives of those who do join me on this journey.
David Wallis, MD, is a board-certified and fellowship-trained family and sports medicine physician who has been practicing in the South Bay area of Los Angeles for almost 20 years. He lives with his family in Hermosa Beach and has now opened his new practice at Beach Cities Medicine, located nearby in Redondo Beach.
Dr. Wallis graduated with honors magna cum laude from the University of California, Los Angeles, with a degree in biology before attending the University of California, San Diego, for medical school. While he planned to go into a surgical subspecialty, he found his greatest “emotional paycheck” came from getting to know his patients over time and helping them with a wide variety of ailments. He completed his residency and internship in family medicine at UCLA Santa Monica Medical Center, followed by a fellowship in Primary Care Sports Medicine.
Professionally, Dr. Wallis has been fortunate to work with amazing colleagues and patients. He has worked with athletes on the recreational, collegiate, and professional levels, including serving as a team physician for the Los Angeles Dodgers, the LA Galaxy, Chivas USA, the US National Soccer Team, the Ontario Reign hockey team, All-American Heavyweights Boxing, and others.
Dr. Wallis has also worked as an expert reviewer for the Medical Board of California and consulted for pharmaceutical companies. He has published over a dozen academic journal articles and book chapters on a wide variety of topics and served as a peer reviewer for academic medical journals as well.
Personally, Dr. Wallis is even more blessed. He and his wife of over 25 years have four healthy kids. He loves the outdoors and staying active, and has completed several marathons including Boston, several triathlons including five Ironman’s, and competed in other endurance adventures such as Paris-Brest-Paris. He tries to “practice what he preaches”, however, is also the first to admit he’s only human and recognize that we all need to give ourselves grace for our shortcomings. He currently offers a variety of services including cancer screenings, immunizations for travel, physical exams, sports medicine, and non-surgical orthopedics.
Whether working in a massive stadium or an intimate office, treating world-class athletes or the elderly in their last days, making a house visit to a bed-bound patient, or visiting them in the hospital, the doctor-patient relationship has been something Dr. Wallis has cherished as he has built his career in volume-based care models. He is especially excited about the new depth of relationship and care he will be able to provide in the new context he has created at Beach Cities Medicine, with a more patient-centered model of personalized healthcare that is what both the doctor and the patient truly desire.

She then completed her Family Medicine residency at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, where she honed her expertise in pediatric, adult, and geriatric care.
Dr. Madani’s impressive background spans notable hospital-based practices in Scottsdale, Arizona, as well as urgent care settings, enriching her perspective on both acute and chronic disease management. With a special focus on preventive medicine, women’s health, and the complex interplay between obesity, lifestyle, and mental well-being, Dr. Madani approaches each patient holistically—ensuring that treatment plans are as unique as the individuals she serves.
Dr. Madani and her family made the move to the South Bay in 2021 when she joined Torrance Memorial Physician Network. She is thankful for the relationships she has established and has been privileged to serve patients from adolescence through all stages of life. In addition to her primary care experience, her obesity medicine background enhances her ability to care for individuals with weight concerns through evidence-based approaches, such as medical weight management and lifestyle interventions.
Now settled in the South Bay, Dr. Madani is proud to join Beach Cities Medicine, where she can provide the access and communication that is so critical to building meaningful, long-term patient relationships.

Outside of her practice, Dr. Madani finds joy in family life with her husband—whom she met during medical school—and their two children. She is an avid indoor cyclist, runner, and fitness enthusiast who loves discovering new activities to stay active and balanced. Committed to excellence at every turn, Dr. Madani welcomes the opportunity to guide you toward optimal health and a more vibrant life.
Why Choose Beach Cities Medicine?
PERSONALIZATION
Your needs are unique. From your genetics to your lifestyle, from your medical challenges to your strengths, ‘Cookbook Medicine’ – just isn’t. We study best practices and keep up on the latest research in medicine, however, the intersection of these sciences with the mind and body you inhabit is as much an art as a science and it needs to be personalized. By focusing our full attention on fewer people, we can individualize the care of each patient as we would want for our own family.
COMMUNICATION
Trees in a forest are things of beauty, however phone trees almost never are. We endeavor to optimize every channel of communication the way we would want as patients ourselves. Just want to schedule an appointment? Your appointment is just a few clicks away online. Routine requests? Email works great for that. Yes, we still believe in telephones and you’re free to call us anytime. And if our patients really are in a pinch, they have my cellphone number for urgent needs as well. One way or another – we’ve got you.
DEDICATION
Our practice is fully dedicated to our members. While we enjoy great relationships with our local hospitals and specialists, we answer to nobody but you. Whether it be an after-hours visit or a housecall, taking the time to thoughtfully research alternatives in your treatment, or simply taking the time to explain things in a way that you understand and are empowered in your own health – we are dedicated to ensuring your optimal health at every turn.
INTEGRATION
It is a true privilege to have highly qualified, world-class experts right here in our own backyard. However, one of the unintended consequences of receiving treatment from multiple specialists is the fragmentation of care that very often comes with it. As your ‘Medical Quarterback’, I help advise you on choosing the plays and the players, and I take the ‘time in pocket’ to ensure everything comes together well without gaps in your care.
