I was referred to Dr.Garg as my OBGYN for my pregnancy. I wish I would have listened to the horrible Yelp/Google reviews but I decided to give her a chance. Things started off fine. She would always rush me out of the appointment and never ask if I had any questions, which I figured is a common doctor trait anyways. She made me feel like I couldn't ask questions because it would be a bother to her. I had a completely healthy pregnancy the whole time but for some reason Dr.Garg would always mention "inducing" and "c-section", which I knew I didn't want to go that route if I didn't have to. Finally I was around 32ish weeks and went to see her. I figured it would be good to start preparing for the big day, I brought up to her that I wanted to try other positions other than my back to give birth, like side laying. She cut me off and told me "I don't do all that voodoo stuff, giving birth upside down, so if you want to do that you can find another doctor". She was so rude, I was crying for days after. My first time being pregnant and the experience was tainted by her lack of understanding. I didn't go to any more of my upcoming appointments since the thought of going into her office would stress me out. And luckily I chose a hospital that wasn't her primary so was ecstatic she wasn't the one to deliver my baby. If you have any sort of opinion on how you want YOUR childbirth to go, I don't recommend this provider. read more

Wow !! I never ever treated me a Doctor so awful until this lady !! Am still in shock!! She so rude, doesn't care about what happens to me , she make feel like I came to her clinic to waisted her time , she had a rushed , I told to my primary Dr to not recommend this kind of Dr , I request to a new gyn. Dr . And yes I agree with most of the goggle reviews. Awful Person,!! The front desk ladies they were so kind. read more

Dr Garg is an amazing Gyno. She is so nice and caring. Bonnie the front office lady couldn't be any more professional and sweet. They get you in and out quickly. Make sure to answer any question you may have. I have never felt more comfortable than this office for my annual exams. I highly recommend Dr Ambica Garg if you have ever felt uncomfortable at a gyno appt. read more

Terrible provider. Terrible bedside manner, did not want to answer questions and would cut me off in the middle of talking. I left the appointment in tears because of how awful it was. The only redeeming quality were the nurses who actually answered my questions and checked on me. read more

Dr. Garg immediately wrote me and my issues off as overweight without any other consideration for my concerns. She took about 3 minutes (not an exaggeration) for my appointment, which included the pap smear, and had no interest in listening to me. The front desk and ultrasound tech are pleasant but I'll never return to this doctor. read more

Bunny the receptionist is so sweet and friendly, Crystal is so down to earth and warm. Dr Garg was great- I can tell she genuinely Happy cares are wants to help my symptoms and get down to the bottom of my issues and concerns. It's a relief. The office is super clean and cute. To be honest i was a little afraid of negative Yelp reviews haha, I am so glad I didn't listen and still kept my appointment. I am so happy to have found Dr. Garg, I'll happily travel from Brea to be a patient. I wish people would write reviews when they are happy and pleased not just if they are upset. Have a great day if you're looking for an Obgyn look no further :) read more

I have been happily seen Dr. Garg for about 6 years now and have found her to be a caring and Knowledgeable physician. Dr. Garg was the first doctor, who understood and empathized with my painful exam experiences. She always looked for ways to make my exams as comfortable as possible and if that was not possible, she would looked into other diagnostic options (ultrasound...) I highly recommend Dr. Garg as she runs a very successful practice with professional and efficient staff, who always greet patients with a welcoming smile! Having said the above, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that we are all humans and sometimes we might have 'off' days and that how terribly unfair it will be to be judged by our behavior on those occasional days! read more

Dr.Garg is the most unprofessional doctor I have ever been to, all she cares about is money and not her patients. Each and every appointment I went to was rushed and so quick and when i had any concern or questions she would dismiss them or get mad at my partner and i for asking, her temper was so bad she even went as far as to yelling at my fiance when he asked her a question for me. Dr. Garg is so unprofessional i have no clue how she still has her license, do yourself the favor and find another doctor. read more

I have seen Dr GARG for GYN services. She was very attentive a great listener and respectful. The whole office is kind and attentive!

Dr. Garg and her staff are the best! I've been seeing her on and off for 5 years now and every time my visit has been nothing but amazing! Dr. Garg takes the time to really get to know her patients! She's friendly, caring, and so knowledgeable. She and her staff are always accommodating, work around busy schedules, and always come up with solutions to make things easier! Would 100% recommend Dr. Garg and her staff to all my family and friends always! She's the best! read more

She's very kind and compassionate with patients. Always asked how I was feeling and if my treatment (an IUD and irregular cycles) was working ok for me. And when I felt pain during exams, she'd say, "I'm sorry and I know it hurts, but we're almost done, ok?" Very sweet doctor that I would definitely recommend to women. read more

The most offensive doctor appointment of my life . DR. AMBIRA GARG had the audacity to walk out on me twice during my appointment making it very clear she did not care or have the time to address my concerns. I was referred to her after I left the ER because of two cysts I had that were causing crippling pain. I made an emergency last minute appointment to discuss my options and ask for diagnostic help. THE DOCTOR WALKED OUT OF MY APPOINTMENT MID SENTENCE TWICE. TWICE! The first time I was advocating for myself telling her I have a hard time asking for help and addressing my pain tolerance she interrupted me and told me to take Motrin and walked out. ( I hadn't even gotten dressed yet, she left me while I was unclothed AND extremely vulnerable) I then called a friend, she advocated for me and she got the Dr back in the room. While my friend said to her "we are trying to figure out what's going on and ask you vs using Google for diagnostic help" she walked out on my friend mid sentence and told me " I don't have time for this I have other patients to see" and LEFT THE ROOM AGAIN WHILE SHE WAS ASKING FOR HELP ON MY BEHALF. THIS ALL HAPPENED IN 8 MINS. MY ENTIRE APPOINTMENT WAS 13 MINS LONG. WHO THE FUCK WALKS OUT ON ANOTHER HUMAN BEING WHILE ASKING FOR HELP DURING A SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT. It was tramatizing. I already felt scared. She dismissed me. This is my scathing review. Doctors with this poor of bedside manner should have their license removed. read more

Dr. Garg Delivered both my babies both premature & c section, I trust her with our life. Lol I have more positive things to say but it's too long to write. I've always had a good experience here. Except the parking lot it gets full sometimes. Lol hooray for dr. Garg and her wonderful staff! read more

Dr. Garg lacks empathy. If you don't care about your body then go here. She doesn't spend the time with you to ensure you are okay after surgery. She rushes you in and out of the office. She believes to be explaining everything however will talk over you and just repeats herself rather than try to understand what you are asking. I had surgery with her 2 months ago and i wasn't told what to expect and when I would be able to do the things I am used to doing so as I am healing I naturally have questions. I've had some pain and swelling even after 2 months so I called and they said to go in just in case. Once again repeated herself didn't even check me out and said I should get a second referral and hurried me out again. For some reason she is defensive because I have the same question that I am asking again because they weren't answered. I really thought she was going to be a different kind of doctor but she's not. read more

Doctor Garg is amazing, I trusted her with our life due to her experiences. She was so easy to talk to, and always ask how I was feeling, care n sweet. Both me n my sis went to the same obgyn. She's very thoughtful about everything and her staff are so friendly n welcoming. I was 39 weeks and 1 day, my Baby was big and Saint Joseph hospital were all booked and I need to hv a c section the next couple days, so she jus transferred me to to KPC hospital which is next door of her office, n operated my c section there.. as long as she was there, I don't really care much about hospital but it was also nice there all nurses n foods are the best, jus a lil smaller than saint Joseph. I don't really understand about those ppl that left negative comments here, Mayb they re being a bitch n demanding, nothing in the world can need their expectation. I highly recommend doc Garg. Best OBGYN read more

She is a true professional, very kind, dedicated to excellence, she saved my life. I was diagnosed with a 10 cm ovarian Cyst. So big and painful, she operated me, all went very well. Excellent successful surgery, the stitches on my belly were done so professionally , you barely can see them. I just am back to my lovely active normal life. She is caring, and very educated in her field. I truly recommend her to all my girl friends because I want the best for them. Dr. Garg is truly an angel in human flesh, God bless your heart Dr. Garg, a big thank you from Victoria Shokri and her family. You are a blessing to those who know you. read more

First time seeing Dr. Garg today. Super cute office with such a feminine touch - it was great! Both Dr. Garg and her staff were sweet, caring, and very intelligent. I was also in and out of her office in less than 45 minutes which is always nice. I would definitely recommend Dr. Garg to my friends, family, and co workers. :) read more

IF NO STARS WERE AN OPTION... I was referred to dr.garg from an ER visit I've visited the ER multiple times due to ovarian cysts. Abdominal pains and cysts rupturing. Recently come to find my right ovary could not be found or seen and also have had a missed period for 3months. So that is why i was referred out to an OBGYN / GYNO. Anyways upon arrival nobody Acknowledged me. I signed in then sat down and was forgotten due to the front receptionist and Dr. confusing me with another patient. Once I was in the room with dr GARG I gave her my back history and reason for my visit. She did a vaginal exam and said everything feels fine try losing some weight and your period may start again. I was so in disbelief! This appointment was so important to me. Me and my husband have been trying to conceive. And she told me I seem like the type of person who doesn't agree with a Dr. and their opinion and should see someone else. I had to advocate for myself. I said it's not that I don't agree with a doctors opinion but you can't just give me a vaginal exam tell me everything feels normal and I should lose weight she didn't want to do any type of further testing to see if I may have PCOS possibly or if I am having an ectopic pregnancy or any other type of health issues. She said well then you tell me what you want me to do. I stated I am not a Dr that is why I am here and suggested what is listed above ECT... Then rudely left the room without even saying goodbye or anything overall it was a terrible experience I've been dealing with so many different types of health issues where I thought that this would be a positive visit and that's not what it turned out to be I am extremely disappointed and saddened because for everything I've been dealing with healthwise I would hate for another woman to come to see this physician and experience the same experience I did as well because I left in tears. read more

I know when you read yelp reviews you question if someone/place can really be that bad. All I have to say is, believe the one stars and RUN! I'm truly not one to write yelp reviews, but I do not want anyone to go through the turmoil this "doctor" put me through. Long story short, she said, (and I quote) "That I must have a mental disorder because I don't want to have kids". read more

Unfortunately, Dr. Garg so doesn't care about people but money. She can't stay in the room for more than 2 min. All ofice staff is rude. And I wasn't even checked properly. When I asked if she didn't want to do some exams, she answered (standing on the other side of the office) that she could see from here and it looked fine, and left... I mean, this is how breast exam should be done? And what do I pay for then??? read more

I only went here for one appointment related to a pregnancy (before switching to a different doctor) when my insurance changed. I was kept waiting for almost an hour despite an empty waiting room. The exam was minimal and merely to establish that I was in fact pregnant before continuing treatment. Fine. I understand that. However, Dr. Garg's office failed to request insurance coverage of the NIPT test after explicitly telling me they would request it. And I just got a bill for genetics testing for the NT test because Dr. Garg's office never gave them my insurance information. The whole experience was as frustrating as it was brief. read more

This doctor told me to go somewhere else if I felt uncomfortable, as I sat on an exam table without any clothes on from the waist down. I came for a Pap smear and I got a yeast infection for the first time in a year, a few days after the pap smear. I expressed concern to the office staff that maybe the speculum could have been dirty. Dr. Garg, who is supposed to educate patients and explain to me why this wouldn't be the cause, apparently took this as a personal attack and used the opportunity during my next visit to tell me "if you feel uncomfortable coming here, go somewhere else," as I sat without any clothes on from the waist down on an exam table. I felt vulnerable, uncomfortable, and so upset. I couldn't believe a doctor would treat their own patient this way. I never blamed or accused the office of giving me the infection. I merely said the only thing I did different in my routine was I got a Pap smear and now I have an infection. Shame on you Dr. Garg. I felt attacked by you. I have a right as a patient to be concerned. You as a doctor are supposed to explain to your patients how these kinds of infections occur and why the speculum would not be the cause, not make me feel ashamed for being concerned about my own health. read more

This was the worst experience with a doctor I've ever had. I've never been so humiliated by a doctor in all my life as I was by the treatment I received from Dr. Ambica Garg. I had been in the ER for a complex ovarian cyst and was told my next step was to get a referral to an OB to closely track my health to ensure there weren't complications and to determine if surgery would be necessary. Both my PCP and the ER had run ultrasounds and labs, and I had been off work for 3 days already due to debilitating pain. When she came into the room, she was clearly not interested in hearing about my symptoms. When I tried to tell her where and what my pain was like, she blew me off and said, "Well, I'll examine you," as if an exam was some magical communicator of my pain level. Her examination was about 15 seconds. When I attempted to fill her in on what the ER had done for me, she immediately criticized them for giving me too strong of drugs, saying they weren't necessary. I was there to look into what the deeper cause of recurring very painful cysts were, and she treated me like a druggie looking for my next high. I was trying to enter into an informed conversation with a healthcare provider, and she told me, "Well, take a Motrin and come back in two weeks." She then left the room without addressing any of my questions or how to go about getting to the bottom of a recurring health issue. I felt completely powerless to advocate for my own health. I got my best friend on the phone and told her what had happened. When the (very kind) nurse got Dr. Garg back in the room to talk to us, Dr. Garg bluntly said, "If this person wants to talk to me, she has to come down here," and she turned to leave the room again. I explained my husband was unable to attend my appointment, so I had asked my best friend to be there with me via phone since she lives out of state. As my friend and I attempted to explain I have a very high pain tolerance and this is actually a big deal, she interrupted us to say, "If you're in so much pain, just go the ER." My friend tried to speak up and tell her a little bit more about my health history, and she spoke over her as she walked out the door to say, "I have other patients to see. I don't have time for this." I had been to the ER. I was sent to her as an OB specialist to get to the bottom of the issue, and she told me to take a Motrin and walked out on me without addressing questions, concerns, or what the underlying medical causes could be. I have shared this experience back with my referring physician and with my insurance company to ask them to refrain from sending any further referrals to Dr. Garg due to an utter lack of professionalism. read more

I have been a surrogate and been in a dozen doctors offices and never been to one so ill equipped. They don't do in office labs. They don't have an ultrasound machine. She won't do any high risk, or vaginal birth after c sections. The office is extremely outdated and dirty. I waited one hour to be sent two additional places which also require appointments just to complete my first visit. I'm sadly disappointed and this is all with real insurance. Not Medical or Medicaid. Its never a good thing to stress when you're pregnant and I left there in tears and completely at a loss. read more

Dr. Garg is amazing. One of the best Obgyn's I have had in a long time. She is quick but makes time for you. Professional and answers all your questions. She recently did a procedure on me. Made me aware of all what will or could happen. Very happy with her care. Her staff, amazing! Those ladies are great. Bunni is the best! read more

I will never go to another Gynecologist again as long as Dr. Garg is practicing. I had a very large tumor (grapefruit+orange) discovered by my wonderful new internist that other gynecologists and family care physicians, for the previous 2 years of seeking help, had either overlooked or dismissed. For whatever reason, they never gave me referrals for blood tests or sonograms for my emotional or physical conditions or the pains I was experiencing during my monthly cycle. Because of the lack of care I had experienced previous to this severely life changing event, I went into Dr. Garg's office with very low expectations as to what I could expect- both health and surgery wise. Dr. Garg way overshot all my expectations and made me feel comfortable for the first time with a gynecologist. She not only explained all my options and what needed to happen, she also took the time and consideration to explain it all to my mom in a manner she could understand and made her feel comfortable; which was my biggest concern. Over the course of the insurance paperwork I needed in order to be scheduled for surgery, I experienced major insurance company end issues such as "lost paperwork", "typos", insurance renegotiation with hospitals, cancelled referrals- if it could go wrong, it happened to me. Luckily, Dr. Garg's staff was there and came to my rescue, saving me from having a major mental breakdown from all the stress. Throughout this frustrating process her staff kept me informed and feeling as in-control of the situation as possible. The surgery went off without a hitch and I have very little scaring or abdominal muscle issues to show for the abdominal myomectomy that Dr. Garg performed. My recovery in the hospital went very well. Dr. Garg and her practice partner both came to visit me on different days, and the nursing staff was very helpful; I couldn't have had more dedicated nurses during those 5 days I was in Recovery. Now, 8 months later and getting ready for my 6th month sonogram checkup, I feel healthier than I have in years and won't even contemplate looking for another gynecologist. read more

hippa issues re: waiting room privacy while listed as a pcp this dr seemed to not want to do things that pcp does ithink a better classification for this dr would be obgyn full time... read more

I definitely recommend going to Dr. Garg. She is very thorough about everything and her staff is very lovely and welcoming.

The doctor is professional, but the nurse, Jane, should not be talking to patients!!! She comes off offensive because I called again. Yes, I called again for my test results, but why should I be made to feel bad for asking about my own health? They told me I can call today to see if the doctor can talk to the lab and get the results sooner. If Jane cannot handle taking another phone call from a patient who is concerned with her health, she should not be a nurse at all! She does not take into consideration the background of patients and cannot sympathize with patients! She makes it seem like waiting a month for test results is not a big deal. Would you not make a big deal if someone had an arm infection and had to wait a month? Why is this any different? I understand that they cannot do anything at the moment because it depends on the lab, but I don't think I should be treated any less because I am concerned with my health! read more

I love Dr. Garg. She is professional, honest, and direct. She won't tell you what you want to hear; she'll tell you what you NEED to hear to ensure your long-term health and the health of your baby. When I expressed concern about breastfeeding because I'd had difficulty with my previous two children, she talked honestly about it and was very comforting, but in a clinical, non-patronizing way. She presented the facts to me and let me know that I should not feel guilty about my low milk production. Of the three OB/GYNs I've had, she is by far and away the one that has behaved as a doctor, helping me make the best decisions for myself and my baby. Thank you, Dr. Garg. read more

If I could give her zero stars I would. Came in knowing what kind of birth control I wanted, but she would not listen and kept trying to force me to do another kind. Additionally, the whole time everything she said was aimed at making me feel stupid about my choices. Did not consider or even take my medical history. Did not really know anything about non-pill birth control methods, as was proved by her writing me a prescription without sizing me for what she was prescribing. When the pharmacy called her for a size, she just guessed. I feel that under no circumstance should I have known more about birth control options than an MD specializing in OBGYN, but that was my experience. I will never return to this doctor and I would not recommend this doctor to anyone. Finally, even though I paid day of visit, she has billed me over a year later to say I owe her more money for her poor doctoring and terrible service. read more
