I was Dr. Bellaros first patient when she was interning at Mesa General Hospital. She delivered my last two babies who are now 25 and 22 years. Additionally , she delivered my last two grand sons. I am so sad to hear that she's retired. I'll never find a doctor like her again. read more

A New Beginning OBGYN - Dr. B delivered my son 9 years ago. I adore you - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

5 stars isn't enough for this office! I had an incredible journey here during my pregnancy. from the first appointment to labor and delivery to post partum, Dr Bullaro and her wonderful staff took such great care of me, I cried I couldn't come back every week anymore!! Dr. B and her staff truly made me feel like more than just a patient. If you're looking for an OBGYN, this is the place you will feel most at "home". read more

A New Beginning OBGYN - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I had been going here for about 2 years. FIVE STARS for Dr. Bullaro. She delivered my baby and I was lucky enough to see her for most of my prenatal visits. The times she was delivering other babies, I saw the NPs who were fantastic. They had in-house ultrasound and the sonographer was Sarah- she was AMAZING. Unfortunately now it seems her practice is closed. They had moved the patients over to Women's Care but it's really far away from the Higley and Southern location and they no longer deliver to banner Gateway . Going to have to find a new OB that's in the north Mesa area. Hopefully I can find one that was half as good as Dr. B!!! If you call the old phone number outside of business hours you will be super confused. They only give you the information for the new place on the recording during business hours. Someone should probably change that. Women's care is: 3530 s Val vista dr in Gilbert. They are only open M-Th 8:30-5 and Fridays until noon. Their phone lines are closed from 12-1:30 so I assume they close the whole office for lunch. You can't even leave a message during that time. Hopefully this saves some patients some confusion. read more

Deanna Bullaro is 5 star, she's the only good thing about this place. I've had issues multiple times with the front desk staff being rude. The nurse practitioners rush you through appointments and don't take the time to listen to you. After this pregnancy I will NOT be returning for any care. I'm just stuck since I'm so far along. I have had enough of the lack of care and needlessly rude attitudes. read more

Dr. Jeffrey Izenberg and staff are absolutely amazing!! Sorry, this review is long. Full disclosure, I am not a fan of going for my annual wellness check. I would venture to say, although very important, most women don't look forward to this type of exam either. I would even go a step further in admitting, seeing a male physician for this type of appointment, can be a bit challenging, for some. Naively, I often felt only a women can understand some of the health related issues associated with being a women. To some degree that may be true, but one should not discount the abilities of a male provider. I most certainly stand mistaken. In my opinion, Dr. Izenberg truly stands above the rest. He is professional, has a great disposition, very respectful, actively listens and is clearly able to tap into his years of expertise to provide quality patient care. I have struggled for many years for answers that never came. Based on key pieces of medical information provided and a solid clinical assessment, Dr. Izenberg was able to provide me with a much needed clinical diagnosis. That in part, came from simply listening. Soon, I will be able to partner with Dr. Izenberg and determine a treatment plan most suitable for me. I trust his clinical opinion and know he has my best interest at heart. For that I am ever grateful. read more

The worst office experience, and overbilling for services not performed. Your medical records are held hostage for months

This is a two-sided review. Dr. Bullaro is a wonderfully competent Obstetrician who safely delivered our 6-week premature son with no complications; she is very good at what she does. HOWEVER. Her front office team does not communicate well to patients. I can see where other patients have said the receptionists are rude and it is true that they try and get your schedule to suit theirs; often calling you to pretty much demand you change your appointment to suit other patients' needs. We kind of shrugged this off during my wife's pregnancy because we felt the care given was worth it. In retrospect, I can see that's just one aspect of how patients don't seem to matter in the course of this office running its affairs. After we lost our insurance, we inquired as to the cost of a pap test for cash-paying patients. We budgeted for the exact amount; we were billed in-house and all was settled. Two weeks later, we received a bill from a third party we had never been told about. Upon calling Dr. Bullaro's office, it was confirmed that somebody 'dropped the ball', and that all that office manager Judy could do was offer her apologies and that nothing further would or could be done. Also, most of the secondary fee came from an additional test that I did not consent to, nor have the option to as it was never explained to me; Judy told me that they did it for the good of my health because they need to perform a preventative cancer screen. We ended up paying twice the amount quoted because of their shortfall and communication breakdown, and when we questioned this practice she was incredulous, surprised that I could not pay the extra bill. All this could have been avoided if they had simply communicated that they needed to do this additional test -- and that I would be directly billed for both - at which point I could have made the decision whether to prepare for, and budget for the extra cost. Dr. Bullaro has all my confidence, but due to the conduct of the office staff, we have decided to not come back and unfortunately will be looking for a new OB. read more

I felt compelled to leave a review after a rather nasty phone interaction with the office staff. I am a mother of two, a birth photographer and Doula. I work with midwives and obgyn's weekly. The lack of professionalism and outright rudeness I received over the phone was appalling. I called to schedule a meet and greet apt. I explained I was not sure of the conception date and was not comfortable with an ultra sound yet. The person I talked to assumed my status of motherhood (that I was an ignorant first time mom), my financial status (saying that maybe Planned Parenthood could get me an ultra sound) and flat out would not listen to what I was saying. I had to repeat multiple times I did not want an ultra sound yet, but was certain a capable midwife would be able to measure my uterus- yet she kept saying I HAD to get one. I am shocked that a grown woman could act this way. I will not be visiting their offices because I don't want to work with people who are so disrespectful to strangers with questions. Their job should be to offer unwavering support- not make someone feel alone and belittled. I am very disappointed in their front office staff and sincerely hope that they take the time to retrain in regards to customer support and satisfaction. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this office. Even while being extremely busy all the time, everyone is beyond wonderful and so helpful. Dr. B is amazing and made me feel so comfortable through everything! I will definitely be using this office in the future and recommending them to anyone who asks :) read more

I transferred as a new patient at the beginning of March 3, 2022. The front desk assistants were unfriendly, rushed and very distracted. I saw a Nurse Practitioner that was leaving the practice 4/1/22. I was taken off all my hormone meds, sent for bloodwork and an ultrasound was ordered. I was never called with the results of the ultrasound, or bloodwork. I called twice to the front desk and was told they lost my chart. Then I called the Office Manager and left a message regarding my experience. It is now the middle of April and I still have not received any follow-up calls from anyone in the practice. I have since found a new OBGYN. If you are looking for a new practice don't go there! They billed my insurance for the tests but can provide proper patient follow-up, I think that is medically unethical. read more

The Nurse Practitioners are so great & answer all your questions, with such patience & detail. The woman at the front desk, not so much. Very harsh & not too friendly. & don't anticipate being seen at your appt time, wait is usually 20+mins after scheduled time. read more

First visit was good -Tammy was great. Tammy answered all my questions. I was seen by Becky for my second visit to verify my due date. Becky was the sweetest and great! I love her energy. Now I hate to confirm the front office girls are a different story. I called in today in hopes to receive my results sooner rather than waiting an entire month until my next visit. Susie (front desk) answered the phone, she instantly sounded annoyed. I asked if my results were in, she said yes and went over them with me. She then made sure to be clear...next time just so I know results are given on my next visit. I reminded her again I was calling in hopes to receive them sooner. I am a first time mom, so as you guys can imagine I was anxious to know if my blood work came back good. I know this office is busy, but honestly they need to learn how to work under stress a little better. They seem bitter when you walk in the office. Like their unhappy to deal with people in general. The manager from this office should consider these comments more seriously as its giving this place a bad name. Before I booked my first appointment I too read through all the yelp comments and well I was hoping the bad comments were not true. I am giving you all confirmation now the office ladies are rude, the back people are great! read more

Update: just had baby #2 in January and Dr B once again delivered, and once again totally happy with my experience. Not much to add other than she is consistent! read more

Being a first time mom, I've been overly terrified with every little thing that happens so far in this pregnancy, but I've been handled with nothing but care and compassion from every employee.Janielle and Judy, the manager are the absolute best. They have both gone way above and beyond to ensure I've been comfortable, taken care of, and even followed up with me on occasion to ensure everything is going smooth. I can't thank them enough for helping make this pregnancy enjoyable! read more

I've had four babies and my last 2 were with Dr, B. She was amazing for both! I love her and her staff! Everyone is so kind and loving and treats you like family! When you are trusting your body and your sweet baby to someone, that means a lot! Dr B and her staff are hands down the best in AZ! LOVE her! read more

I have loved this office and staff from day one. Kind and very helpful. My only complaints would have to be scheduling and lack of availability. I recently went in for an appt on a monday and was told that I had miscarried at 11.5 weeks. This being our second miscarriage, I chose to opt for a D&C to spare the emotional and physical pain. Once I completed the blood work I was told that the anesthesiologist would be contacted and I could have the procedure by Thursday or Friday of that week. I tried not to move a muscle the entire week so as not to cause the miscarriage earlier. I called to check up on the details of the procedure and was told the anesthesiologist would be out of town until Monday. Needless to say I was terrified and upset. I was also very frustrated that only ONE person was on call and happened to be unavailable. I ended up painfully miscarrying the night before the scheduled procedure. Something I can't imagine going through again. This is such an incredible practice with wonderful people, but I truly wish they had a FEW people who are on call to be available in situation like this. Also to allow more flexible scheduling to high risk patients. I would have loved to get my first appt around 7 weeks but had to wait until 11.5. read more

I can not say enough good things about this office, the staff and Dr. B are absolutely amazing. I recently had my first baby in April, the office staff was friendly and helpful. Its a busy practice and they are always doing their absolute best to schedule and accommodate patients anyway they can. I had complications and ultimately had a c section. Dr. B continued to advocate for me throughout the entire process, I knew I was in great hands with her. Yes this is a busy office, yes wait times are sometimes longer than anticipated. Id rather wait extra or be rescheduled to see MY provider and not just any provider in the practice that doesn't know me. This provider is the absolute the best, i highly recommend this office. read more

I have been a patient of dr bullero for over 8 years and she has delivered two of my babies and she is the best doctor ever I would not trust my baby to any other doctor she treat you like family and she does not rush you answers any questions that you have she's very to the point and doesn't sugarcoat anything I highly recommend doctor bullero read more

Absolutely amazing. Was recommended to this office for my second pregnancy because my original dr does not to OB anymore. Dr B is AMMAZING!! The entire staff there is fantastic. Highly recommend them. read more

I recently became a new patient here looking to switch to an IUD for my birth control. I live in flagstaff for school and commute to the valley for my medical care because in my opinion there is better care available here. My first visit was amazing! However, I was called two days ago to be told I was still to come to my appointment today even though we could only do the exam not the IUD procedure, so I immediately left my class to get home that night. Yesterday I was called again by someone else telling me to be at the office at 9:50. Well this morning as I'm walking out the door I receive another call telling me I'm late to my appointment (it's 9:30 at this point) and that I wouldn't be able to come in anymore because my appointment was at 9 not 9:50 and they had no time. On top of that I can't be fit in for weeks now and this was the only reason I drove the three hours down here for this weekend. Ridiculous. I'm furious the staff here couldn't communicate not only with each other, but with me properly and they have just absolutely wasted my time. read more

I really really love this office and would recommend anyone I know to become patients here. Dr. Bullaro was recommended to me by people that had actually worked alongside her. I loved this because doctors can often not be too kind to staff that work under them. This was a huge deal to me as I wouldn't ever want to go to a doc that was unkind to people they work with. She is genuine and a realist, and frankly that's what a good doc should be. I also really liked the NP's Becky and Wende. They are very kind and professional. I only saw the ultra sound tech twice as I went to a perinatologist for my ultra sounds, but the times I did see her she was very sweet. I'm seeing a lot of complaints about the desk staff and I don't know why. They were always nice to me and I also felt comfortable talking to them on the phone or in person. The MA's are great as well. read more

I started going here before I was even pregnant because I needed a OBGYN that took my insurance and this place was pretty close to home. I had maybe 3 or 4 appointments before I got pregnant and I saw Suzie and Becky! They were amazing. Weeks later I found out I was pregnant with my first! I called the office right away to get in but unfortunately they didn't have anything until over a month out because one of the doctors was getting married. So I had my first appointment about a week ago at 10 weeks with Wende & Suzie and they were both amazing! They next day I had a sizing ultrasound with Sarah and she is the sweetest most cutest thing ever. The front desk at first seems a little cold, but now that I've been there a lot more they are GREAT! I haven't met Dr. Bullaro yet, but I'm meeting her at the end of this month! read more

My daughter just left there in tears. Now to be changing doctors in her 9th month. Office manager and staff extremely condescending and rude. Dismissed my daughters concerns and acused her of trying to fraud insurance. Her last visit, she and the doctor discussed her leave and was told to let her know when she was ready. Today, a month later,, few weeks from due date,, she let the office know she was ready being only a couple of weeks away. She was dismissed by both the staff and manager. After calling back to discuss her experience, she was told she was upset because she was being hormonal because of her pregnancy and then was told she was trying to perform insurance fraud. What????? What does insurance have to do with leave. She has the benefits, she just needed a start date documented. The amount of time off doesn't change and is between HR and my daughter, not the doctors office. Unbelievable. I'm gong to contact the insurance to have an audit done. 9 months. Saw doctor one time for two minutes. Let's hope they are not billing out fraudulent Levels of care. read more

Avoid this place at all costs. Office manager is absolutely disrespectful, rude and nothing will ever be done about it because she is close friends with the doctor (from the mouth of staff, not my opinion). I went in and was clear about desire for a VBAC, I was an excellent candidate, and surprise surprise. Was coerced into a csection. They tried to get me to have one two days after my due date. I had to fight and threaten to no show for them to allow me to wait one week after my due date. Big day finally rolls around, all went ok aside from my incision being nearly 12 inches long, blood pressure dripping so dangerously low I couldn't move or talk to get their attention while they chatted away not paying attention to my vitals, was rushed out of the hospital (discharged literally less than 48 hours after surgery). While home, on day two (just under day four from surgery) I ran out of pain medication. Called to get relief and was promised another prescription. Meanwhile the pain is excruciating and come to find out the pharmacy hadn't heard a peep from doctor. Called back multiple times and no answer during business hours. Next day got ahold of manager, "oh sorry I need a code to submit that prescription and she won't be here until 830" so I wait. Noon rolls around. Call back. "How bad is it REALLY? Take ibuprofen and Tylenol you shouldn't be in this much pain" WOW...oook. My husband was LIVID and it took everything in him to not go down there to have a little chat with these people. If you'd like to be treated as drug seeking after being given two days worth of pain medication after a major surgery, degraded by staff, all kinds of extra unanticipated charges, this is definitely the place for you!! Ps-give the front office staff a break. Often times it is the manager answering the phone and she is extremely short, rude and condescending. read more

Dr. Bullero delivered my second baby at Banner Gateway, and has been my OB GYN doctor for nearly 6 years. This office has the friendliest, most efficient staff around. The well woman exams are done by a nurse practitioner, and Becky is ultra fast and so sweet. Her bedside manner coincides with Dr. B's and you really feel valued as a patient. I would highly recommend this office to anyone looking to have a personal relationship with their doctor's office and to have their baby delivered by the ABSOLUTE best doctor around. read more

We had a GREAT experience here. The front office staff was nice and we had none of the problems of some of the other reviewers. I LOVED how accommodating they were to our schedule. When I came in for my first appointment they asked what times and days work best and we told them it had to be 3 or later due to work schedules. They gave us a schedule I believe the next week with every appointment through the end of my pregnancy. We had nothing but good experiences and positive interactions with everyone. I believe there was one time we had to reschedule due to dr.b delivering a baby, and one time we saw the NP instead for that same reason. But that to me is COMPLETELY understandable. I would hope if I went to deliver my baby during the day she wouldve missed a few appointments to make sure she was there. The first few months were always with the NP and the last few were with dr.B if possible. We had a great experience and will be going back next time I am pregnant! Also quick shout out to the ultrasound tech. She was super fun and nice and explained EVERYTHING we saw on the screen (including getting a video of his heart pumping the blood and showing us the chambers of his heart and which color showed the blood was going away vs. towards us) which made it really fun and cool. We felt like she really cared and really loved her job. read more

I've been trying to talk to a real person for weeks. When I call the front office, they put me on hold and then forget about me. When I leave a message, they don't return my calls. In the meantime, their robocalls have been blowing up my phone and leaving the same message every day telling me to call a different number to access a message from them, which I can't access because I was never given the password. I can only put so much energy into something, and then it's time to move on. read more

First of all this review is towards the front office they are unbelievably rude and they have a attitude towards patients. As someone that as well works in the medical field we understand Life happens and especially with infants and at times patients arrive minutes late but that's no reason to turn away a NEW PATIENT THAT'S WILLING TO WAIT FOR A DOCTOR THAT ALREADY IS RUNNING BEHIND! Sad to see how such an Amazing doctor that delivered my baby has horrible front office staff and the sad part is i was hopeful the reviews on front office would be wrong but apparently they are all True! read more

Another complaint on the front desk staff I had two positive recommendations on Dr. Bullaro from my sister-in-laws and was excited to have a female doctor to deliver my third baby. I wanted to meet her and get a feel for her office, so I called to have my IUD removed and have my annual. I was told I could be scheduled 11 months later. I can understand being busy and wanting to give priority to existing clients. So when I was pregnant I called back and made an appointment. I was able to get an appointment about a month later. At that time I told Chelsea, the front desk receptionist, that I had had a previous ectopic pregnancy. She didn't seem to be concerned by this. So I made a standard first appointment. A few weeks later I started experiencing light cramping. Under normal circumstances I wouldn't be concerned. But with my previous ectopic pregnancy, my left fallopian tube burst, and I almost died from hemorrhaging because no one recognized the symptoms and assumed it was a standard miscarriage. Slightly concerned by the localized cramping on my right side, I called Dr. Bullaro's office to ensure I could receive an ultrasound at my upcoming appt. The front desk clerk Chelsea seemed annoyed or at least severely disinterested. She's probably a very nice person, but she does not come across that way on the phone. Anyway she told me I couldn't be seen for an ultrasound and if I continued cramping I should go to the ER. Luckily I found another doctor who got me in immediately and found that I had a large but harmless cyst on my right side that was causing the pain. Now, I think Dr. Bullaro is probably a great doctor. I've heard nothing but praise of her. And I appreciate that her office is very busy. But situations like this make me very wary of proceeding. read more

I vistied this office for years because this is where JoEllen Embry practiced and she has been my go-to WHNP for 10 or 12 years now. So this review is NOT a reflection on JoEllen but of this office and how they run their business. They're so busy with patients but they refuse to extend their hours and on Fridays they even close at noon! Then you get there on time but you're not taken back to a room for at least a half hour over your appointment then you sit in the room for another half hour before your doc comes in. However, if you're running late they won't work with you. Plus, I would literally have to schedule an appointment with JoEllen 8 months ahead of time. That is absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable. JoEllen also had no time to discuss much while I was there because she was so swamped. I've known her for many years and while she was here she always seemed overworked and stressed. Other office quirks I didn't care for were the long hold times when I called in or being made to feel like I was a bother to the front desk ladies. I also kept dealing with billing issues with this office with how they coded things for my insurance. I have not had issues since following JoEllen to her new practice in Mesa. Lastly when JoEllen left their practice no one from their office bothered to inform me. Knowing that I have ONLY seen JoEllen they should be well aware of my opinion on who sees me and they allowed me to keep my appointment and not tell me someone else would be seeing me. That is unprofessional. I just so happened to call to confirm my appointment with her the day before and they said it wouldn't be with JoEllen. I immediately cancelled my appointment. Dealing with woman issues is stressful enough on its own, I don't need excess stress added to it. read more

I have never been treated so badly by a doctor's office on an initial phone call. I was two days away from my missed period when I took the positive home pregnancy tests. Being new to the area with my obgyn in Scottsdale Im trying to find a new doctor. I called to schedule an appointment and the receptionist was so unbelievably rude. I realize that doctor's typically won't see you until you ate at least 7 weeks but God doctor's are hard to schedule they usually schedule out so I figured I'd call early to ensure I could see the doctor. She actually told me that I might not be pregnant and that she wouldn't schedule me. She told me to wait a week and call back. Now she had no way of knowing this but I miscarried five months ago. To have a RECEPTIONIST who is NOT a medical professional not only refuse to schedule you which is her sole job but to hand out her "medical" opinion is just plain wrong. I called back a couple days later to speak to the office manager because I was so upset at how I was treated. I left a message and never heard back. I tried not to let it reflect the doctor because for all I know she is amazing but her front end staff is ruining her practice. This practice clearly does not care about it's patients our potential patients if they are letting people like that run their front office and handing out first impressions like that. I am appalled...I would totally see this doctor...if she got rid of her rude front office staff. read more

A dude rating an OBGYN? Weird, right? Not really. Dr Bullaro delivered our daughter and will be delivering our second child in December. She is fantastic. My wife and I recommend her every chance we get. read more

I made my appointment a month and a half in advance. When I got to my appointment this morning I was told by Chelsea she cancelled it because she couldn't get ahold of me. She said she called me twice and I had no voicemail set up. Which instantly irritated me because I get calls and voicemails left constantly, so there was some dishonesty there. I took this day off from work specifically for my appointment and then she said she's going to try to see what she can do. She wasn't able to get me in and she said per policy they cancel appointments if you can't confirm it. I never got a call so i don't understand how I was going to confirm it. On top of that she told me someone needed to get in more urgent then me so she gave that lady my appointment. I honestly think it's ridiculous that she most likely didn't even call, there was no other way she could've tried to get a hold of me. And almost importantly she was so rude. She did not care at all. It was horrible. I'm not one to make a scene so I didn't. But this is so unprofessional and absolutely ridiculous. read more

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. B. I just delivered my first baby and it was so much easier than I had expected and honestly, I think it's because I have an amazing doctor. First off, the staff at her office are great. I transferred to Dr. B once I found out the NP I was seeing did not do deliveries. I did not meet her for the first 2 visits (I transferred later than I should have) but understood as she is a very busy woman. Becky, one of her NP's, is great as well. Now before you go further, if you are someone that does not take direct feedback well; go elsewhere. Dr. B is very direct and to the point. Honestly, I LOVE that about her. No sugar coating there. Anyway, back to delivery; Dr. B was not working that day; however she came in to deliver my baby girl; my little girl was being uncooperative with my contractions and Dr. B fixed that right up. I absolutely love her and thank God for having me transfer to a doctor who is not only compassionate, direct but you can tell she loves what she does. The smile on her face when she held my baby for the first time says it all. I won't be going anywhere else and I just want to say thank you SO much Dr. Bullaro. Lily and I are very grateful for you. read more

Really really disappointed in this place. I called and made an appointment in JUNE for what I felt was a pretty urgent matter. I understood they book out fast so I just decided to make the appointment and wait until August. Yesterday I received a call to confirm my appointment, and immediately called back (and 7 additional times yesterday. I have the call log on my phone to prove it) and could not get through to someone. Even during office hours it sent me to the after hours voicemail (for emergency/physicians only). I finally got through to someone this morning after calling a million times, only for them to tell me the doctor had left for a patient in labor. Obviously I understand that happens, but was someone going to call and tell me that before I was 5 minutes away? Would have been nice. Nexts appointment wasn't available until late September so I will be having to find a new doctor now. This office does not care about you and has horrible service. read more

Dr. Bullaro is awesome - she has delivered two of my babies and will deliver the 3rd in a couple months. My husband and I wanted to do as natural a pregnancy/delivery as we could and she was super supportive of everything, answered all my questions, etc. She is very personable and goes the extra mile to know me and make sure I'm taken care of and my wishes are met. We even thought about birthing at a birth center this time but why fix what isn't broken? Thanks to Dr. B having our back, we had 2 great natural deliveries in the hospital and look forward to the 3rd. She's so fun with my kids now, they love to go see her, which makes the many OB appts a lot more bearable! Yes she's busy, but it's nice to not be juggled around several different doctors, and I've only had to wait to be seen an extended time maybe once or twice - understandable for the profession. read more

This is my wife's 3rd OBGYN in the last 5 years we have been married. We transferred to Dr Messer after she delivered my nephew and when we found out we were expecting our first. She and all her staff have been incredible. We typically see Dawn who has been a joy to work with. We absolutely love everyone here and have had such an awesome experience with them. Such a refreshing experience after several poor experiences with other offices. read more

Love Dr. Bullaro and ALL staff including the front office. Everyone is very friendly and helpful!

I love this DR office. They are hands down the best. I have had an amazing experience and I am so happy my friend recommended them to me. The office staff, medical staff and the Dr. all deserve 5 stars. read more
