He seems to love what he does. I'm sad I'll have to find a new doctor when we move in a couple months. I highly recommend Dr. Mahller and his team. The entire staff at Orange County OBGYN is great. I also had the pleasure of seeing Tabitha Indries, NP, for a couple of my appointments during my most recent pregnancy, and she was kind, genuine, personable, and went out of her way to discuss and address all of my questions and concerns. Lastly, their patient portal is very convenient, and Dr. Mahller answers questions through the portal extremely quickly, which has been SO helpful and appreciated!

I rarely write reviews, but I don't want anyone else to go through what I experienced. This review…read moreis not for Dr. Broad personally, as I never met her, but for the office staff, NP, and ultrasound tech. During my first pregnancy, I was abruptly told by the ultrasound tech that there was no heartbeat and that I was miscarrying, in a very rushed and insensitive manner. What followed was weeks of poor communication, delayed lab results, unanswered calls and portal messages, and lack of guidance during an extremely emotional time. After being told my only option was medication because a D&C would take weeks, the medication failed, and no one returned my calls when I asked what to do next. I sought a second opinion, which confirmed retained tissue and recommended a D&C immediately--something that should have been done much earlier. Despite repeated attempts to reach the office, I received no response. I ultimately ended up in the ER with symptoms of infection and had to find another doctor to perform a D&C. I didn't hear back from Dr. Broad's office until after the procedure, nearly three weeks later. The lack of communication and urgency was unacceptable, especially given the emotional and physical risks involved. As a nurse, I've seen a lot in healthcare, and this experience left me feeling helpless and unheard. I would not recommend this practice.

Words cannot express how deeply grateful I am to have found Dr. Marinescu. He was my second opinion…read moreafter I was diagnosed with a massive 14 cm dermoid cyst on my left ovary -- which had doubled in size during pregnancy -- along with a new, smaller cyst on my right. My original surgeon panicked, telling me he could no longer perform the surgery laparoscopically, that it would need to be open surgery, and most devastating of all -- that saving my left ovary would not be possible. As a brand new mom with a 3 month old hoping to grow our family, this sent me into a spiral of fear and heartbreak about my fertility. Dr. Marinescu was the complete opposite: calm, compassionate, and confident. While he was realistic that there were no guarantees, he believed there was a good chance he could save my ovary and even do so with robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery. After days of tears, the moment I met him, I felt a sense of peace. I knew I was in the best hands. My experience with Dr. Marinescu and the entire Hoag Hospital system was nothing short of exceptional. I never waited more than 10 minutes for any appointment, lab, or scan. Everything was organized, smooth, and patient-centered. The surgery prep was seamless, the staff were warm and reassuring, and I went into the OR feeling truly cared for and at peace. When Dr. Marinescu came out to tell my husband that the surgery had gone great -- and that he had saved both of my ovaries -- my husband literally cried. It was such a relief that this was all behind us. My only regret is that I don't live closer so that Dr. Marinescu could be my OB for future pregnancies. We live in Ventura County and gladly traveled the distance because we knew this was the doctor we could trust with something as precious as our fertility. Thank you so much, Dr. Marinescu. My family and I are so SO happy that we found you and trusted you with this surgery!!! Brianna

From the very first appointment to postpartum, he was the one I saw--never just a tech or PA--which made me feel seen, heard, and genuinely cared for. He's personable, warm, and has an incredible bedside manner. He listens to his patients with compassion and respect, and you can tell how deeply he cares. Beyond that, he's extremely knowledgeable and confident, which gave me so much peace of mind--especially during the more complex moments of my pregnancy. Dr. Illeck is everything I would want in a doctor and more. I can't recommend him highly enough.

When I called the number, I was told that I would need to contact billing to see if this office takes my insurance. When I left a VM there, I didn't get a response. I decided to call again and was able to get a hold of someone. That person told me that I needed to call my insurance company to verify if the doctor office accepted my insurance. She gave me the doctor's NPI number to give to my insurance company. Usually, when I go to a new doctor, the doctor's staff asks me for my information and then perform verifications on their side. I've never had a situation where I'm the person who is responsible for performing the verification. I guess they're busy enough that they don't need to do what most other doctor offices do to get business.

Unfortunately, our experience with the front office completely overshadowed what should be a happy and meaningful time for our family. When we called to schedule our first appointment, the front desk staff member was shockingly rude and dismissive. There was no warmth, no patience, and no professionalism. Instead of guiding us through the process, she abruptly informed us that my wife was "too far along" at 16 weeks to be accepted as a new patient -- something we have never encountered before, especially in a healthy, uncomplicated pregnancy. The tone and manner in which this was communicated were incredibly cold and condescending. The conversation was handled so poorly that it reduced my wife to tears. No expecting mother should ever be made to feel like an inconvenience when seeking prenatal care. We understand that offices have policies. What is difficult to understand is the complete lack of compassion and basic courtesy in how those policies are communicated. An OB/GYN office, of all places, should recognize the emotional vulnerability that can come with pregnancy and treat families with empathy and respect. It is deeply disappointing that what should be a joyful chapter for our growing family was tainted by such an unprofessional interaction. We hope the practice takes a serious look at how patients are treated at the front desk, because first impressions matter -- especially in healthcare.

My ob was not on call that evening (sad, because he's great!), but I had the privilege of receiving care from Dr. lao! My first baby I got the epidural, but this one I was hoping to go unmedicated. MAN is that so much easier said than done! As I lingered for awhile at 9/10 centimeters, I was becoming more and more tired, scared, and indecisive on my next steps for bringing my son into the world. Every contraction made me less confident that I could do it, but Dr Lao was one of the 3 in the room who reassured me and helped me through! My biggest praise has to go to her CALM CALM demeanor. What a difference that made! She was incredibly patient with my indecisiveness, never pressed me for what she wanted over what I wanted, but also (so) kindly gave her recommendations and gave me both the space to think things through and all the options before me. She also took great care and extra steps in physically delivering my son, and honored my wish to delay cord clamping until the cord turned white. Never with a hint of annoyance either. Thank you Dr. Lao!!

I had a high risk pregnancy and vulnerable to preterm labor both times, so I was in Newport twice a month). The distance was well worth the care I received. I lost several pregnancies before having fertility treatments, my fertility doctor recommended Dr. Flora and I am so glad she did! She was very careful in her monitoring and even urged me to stay in the hospital on bedrest, even when I wanted to go home. I now have two healthy babies (who could have both come super early and not survived) thanks to Dr. Flora and her team! I will continue to go to her for annual check ups.

After a four-year fertility journey with many ups and (mostly) downs, I was very anxious throughout my pregnancy about something going wrong. I also had significant, daily physical discomfort (including nausea throughout all nine months of gestation!). From my husband's and my very first appointment, we were impressed with Dr. Kurtzman's office. They were able to schedule us around our travel plans for our first visit. The scheduling/administrative staff members are very efficient and great at getting back with patients swiftly about both scheduling matters and medical questions requiring the doctor's input. They effectively multi-task and are very invested in positive patient experiences. When you call the office, you speak to a real human located inside the building! No automated phone system, portal-only care, or extra hoops to jump through blocking you from receiving timely care. When I once needed to speak to the doctor about a time-sensitive matter on a weekend, I was able to promptly contact him by phone without any issues. The physical office itself is spacious, impeccably maintained, and beautifully furnished. Medical and nursing staff, including the sonographers and personnel monitoring non-stress tests (NSTs), are good-natured and seem to genuinely enjoy their jobs, expressing happiness and excitement when monitoring the baby and a desire to meet the baby once they are "on the outside!" In addition, Dr. Kurtzman is clearly an expert! He addressed my many questions thoroughly during each visit, and with empathy and caring. He is passionate about the work he does (including his research contributions to the field), and it really shows, having a significant positive impact on the quality of care patients receive. I always felt I was in good hands and never a burden. He took my complaints seriously and prescribed several medications to ease my discomfort. His office sent prescriptions to the pharmacy swiftly and effectively communicated with my regular obstetrician's office, as well as my daughter's future pediatrician. Furthermore, when I was at risk of pre-term birth, he increased my medications, monitoring, and physical restrictions, additionally ordering steroid injections in the event of an early delivery. It all paid off, and my daughter and I had a smooth induction at 39 weeks, on the day I wanted. She was born healthy and well. In a nutshell, the quality of care I received at OCMFM was significantly better than my experiences at other OB offices, with my family members and me feeling supported as individuals in more of a personalized, human-centered way that is hard to come by in these days of AI assistants, online portals, and low-contact care. I would highly recommend their services to anyone with a high-risk pregnancy who wants to feel respected, valued, and attentively cared for as a patient.
