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 agree with everyone here: Dr. Ogez rocks. A lot of reviews for gynecological care tend to be from…read morefolks who are pregnant/are planning to be pregnant/delivered a baby, so I figured I'd throw my review in here since I do not intend to have children so my care experience is oriented around wellness visits / preventative care -- so if that's the boat you're in, read on! :) I know many forego gynecological care because it can feel invasive and nerve wracking. I certainly am someone who fits into that boat, as I have so much anxiety around doctors offices and anything medical. Also as a queer individual, there's an extra layer to reproductive care that (in my experience) is often overlooked. Dr. Ogez is so thoughtful, patient, and informative in her practice -- I've never felt safer during a wellness exam. Her bedside manner is exceptional; I felt heard in what I was saying during my visit, and also felt empowered about making choices about my body because Dr. Ogez took the time to really talk through things with me (and it is so clear that she stays very well informed on contemporary approaches to gynecological care that help empower patients.) That enough is worth 5 stars for me, but I should tack on that the office was so well organized that I think I was in the waiting room for about 3 minutes in totality? And then maybe waited alone in the exam room for about 2 minutes. The visit itself did not feel rushed at all, and yet I was stoked on how quickly I managed to get in and out of the office. Highly highly recommend.

She is young, patient and wise when it comes to bedside manners and her making choices with you about what is best for you and your baby. The office staff is professional and friendly. The office itself is very clean. Whenever I got to my appointments the nurses were all so sweet. I never had to wait a long time at my appointments, except for one time when Dr. Ogez was not there and someone else had to see me so they had to read my chart to get familiar with my pregnancy status, which was understandable. I can't wait to share with you all my experience once I deliver. I will be back to update this review but for now, I'm blessed with Dr. Ogez as my OBGYN.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience trying to schedule an appointment with this OB/GYN…read moreoffice. For the past two weeks, I have been going back and forth with the front office staff just to get an appointment scheduled. What's ironic about all this is, I was transparent with the front office in letting them know my pregnancy was achieved through IVF. The office informed me they could not schedule me until I provided proof of a viable pregnancy through an ultrasound and information on my frozen embryo transfer. I had to wait a whole week to be seen by my out of state IVF fertility doctor to get this ultrasound done. When I finally have this information and I call them back so I can scan it. I am told they only accept fax or walk in to drop of paperwork so then can review it and contact me if they can proceed with scheduling. I am 6 weeks and 2 days pregnant. On my ultrasound it was found the pregnancy is viable and there is already heart beat. Yet, this office is unwilling to see me. This has been incredibly frustrating, especially during such an important and emotional time. As a patient with an IVF pregnancy, I expected better communication, clearer instructions, and more support from the front office. Instead, the process has felt confusing, stressful, and unnecessarily difficult. I hope the office improves its scheduling process and communication with patients, especially those going through high-stress pregnancies. What's more ironic in all this is if I hadn't informed them about my IVF treatment they would have added me on the schedule without even knowing and would have confirmed that I am in fact pregnant. This office obviously does not want my business. My only mistake here was trusting my pregnancy with this doctor and their staff.

Dr. Bignami was my OB in my first pregnancy. In many ways, I found her competent and compassionate…read more However, I believe that two of Dr. Bignami's actions have harmed me greatly. Action 1: I made multiple requests to Dr. Bignami for an elective c-section based on personal/family medical history. However, Dr. Bignami repeatedly told me and my husband that I could not have an elective c-section because her hospital and/or her "board" would not allow it. Grievance 1: I have since been told by leadership at Dr. Bignami's hospital that patients do, in fact, have every right to an elective c-section, and that I should have been allowed one. This leadership went on to acknowledge that hospitals often require low c-section rates to receive certain financial incentives. I can only imagine that such policies could put pressure on individual OBs to keep their personal c-section rates low. Action 2: As I believed Dr. Bignami that I was not allowed a c-section, I agreed to an induction of labor and gave birth vaginally. Dr. Bignami delivered my baby and stitched my tears. When I asked about my tear severity, Dr. Bignami said that it was only 2nd degree (typical). However, to my husband and me, Dr. Bignami seemed surprised and uncomfortable discussing my tear. She also made comments that I considered inconsistent with her diagnosis, like that I should expect pain for at least a year. Dr. Bignami's behavior, combined with my difficult postpartum recovery, made me suspect that I had actually torn more severely. Grievance 2: As a result of this suspicion, I went to a new OB in a different hospital for my second baby and expressed my concerns to this new OB that my tears from my first birth were somehow more severe than diagnosed. However, in my opinion, this new OB placed greater weight on Dr. Bignami's assessment that I had only 2nd degree tears. She told my husband and me that she could not advise a c-section to a second-time mother based on Dr. Bignami's assessment of my birth injuries. Thus, I gave birth vaginally, against my wishes, a second time. After the birth of my second child, my new OB said that I had torn to 3rd degree (a severe tear). She also said that she believed that I had probably torn to 3rd degree in my first birth (the one with Dr. Bignami) as well, due to the scar tissue exposed by my new injury. Having suffered a previous 3rd degree tear would also make the 3rd degree tear I suffered in my second birth less anomalous, insofar as I have understood birth injury statistics in the primary literature. Harms: I have now sustained what are believed to be two 3rd degree tears. If I had instead received the c-section I requested from Dr. Bignami, I believe that neither tear would have occurred. If Dr. Bignami had instead classified my first tear as 3rd degree, I believe I would have had a c-section for my second birth and my second tear would not have occurred. While recovering from my first tear was challenging, the long-term effects of my second tear have been life changing. I suffer daily fecal incontinence and various other pelvic symptoms. This has robbed me of so much joy, freedom, and professional opportunity - it feels like a large portion of who I am has died. Moreover, the damage from my tears is so extensive that some doctors have cautioned me about having a third child, even by c-section, as any additional stress on my already damaged pelvic region could exacerbate these already debilitating issues. For my husband and me, the potential preclusion of our long-intended third child is something that we can only liken to a loved-one's death. I appreciate that Dr. Bignami has an incredibly challenging profession, but there is no valid reason for the unnecessary and avoidable suffering that I experience every day. Adhering to arbitrary c-section quotas and avoiding the guilt/scrutiny that their consequences evoke is not worth a woman's life, but I believe that much of my life has been forfeited to it all the same.

She left me without even putting a bandaid on the arm she poked and I had to struggle to put the bandaid on one handed while still maintaining pressure on it. Next MA comes and draws blood and when she's done she yelps I don't have a cotton ball (to put on the vein she just drew out of) and my blood is just pooling while she puts a bandaid on. Luckily I'm well versed enough to know I needed to put pressure on my bandaid. The NP who saw me was new to (per the MA) she really didn't put my mind at ease. Her expertise and knowledge seemed lacking based on the answers to my questions. First thing she asked me was, why are you here and not the ER? I told her my PCP sent me here because she didn't feel it necessitated a ER visit. She wanted me to be evaluated by YOU to assess and in your medical opinion, do I need to be seen further or what course of action next? She swabbed me for flu and covid and I verbally questioned her because I had isolated severe GI symptoms. She said sometimes those present wither GI only. Does it? I don't know, I'm not an MD but I'm also someone who works in healthcare and it didn't feel like the proper procedure. When I asked if she would be ordering any stool samples, I heard through my closed door "do we do that?".

The sadness and disappointment I feel to this day about my pregnancy experience with Dr Kroll won't let up. The level of disinterest in my case, the dismissal of my concerns and downplaying of my situation was horrifying. For example, once, I was crying at an appointment because I was frightened and in pain. She actually said to me : "why such drama?" Turns out the UTI she diagnosed was much more (premature labor after which I had months of mandatory bed rest ) discovered by her partner after she hospitalized me. The "acid reflux" she diagnosed turned out to be gallbladder disease confirmed after another emergency surgery was performed when my daughter was a month old. She was constantly late for appointments and once after I waited two hours (in pain) for her she then cancelled my appointment. After seeing the look on my face one of her partners who happened to be at the front desk mercifully said she would see me. She was so kind. There's more to my case that led to an emergency c section but you get the point. I felt like I was a bother to her and a pest. My one and only experience pregnant was nothing short of extreme frustration, disappointment and twenty years later it STILL saddens me. I truly think she just didn't give a shit.

Wonderful office staff and set-up - office was easy to get to and not a massive set of offices with a myriad of doctors. Very personal, which is comforting for gyn issues. Will definitely be making Dr Marinescu my gyn -- thank you, Dr Marinescu!!

I've been with OBGYN CARE since 2016, and Dr. Marinescu was amazing with my c section! He has…read morealways been so detailed, and makes sure that the baby, and the mom is in good health! He was even able to make my scar better from my first c section! I had keloids and he was able to make it a clean line. Now in 2023... I went in for my Annual check up, and he found that I had a cyst on my left ovary! My stomach was growing and I have been having pains but I thought it was my other issues that were causing them. He quickly issued tests to see the cyst, and found out I had endometriosis and the endometrium (chocolate cyst) on top of all my other issues... he then ran other tests to see if I was fit for surgery and got me in as soon as possible! Now I'm 5 weeks in recovery after a successful hysterectomy, and cyst removal! I've heard horror stories from other women about other obstetricians just minimizing their pains... you will not go through that here... He truly cares! And will do the very best for you! Dr. Marinescu... He is a gem! He's brilliant! And he's such a skilled surgeon... And I feel blessed to have him as my Obgyn... I will forever be grateful to him! And also his staff are all super sweet, and amazing too!!!!

I scheduled an appointment, took time off work, and they cancelled my appointment 25 minutes before…read moreI was scheduled to come in. I didn't even get the voicemail, I was already in the parking lot when I called to confirm some information. Absolutely unacceptable that there is no consideration for a patient who now has to spend more time and money looking for another doctor. What a waste of time

I can't name a better OBGYN! I made a switch during my pregnancy to see Dr. Singh and I'm so glad I…read moredid. She is truly amazing and hardworking. She is so friendly and appointments were always a delight. Her team is just as amazing as well. They are always on time too, I never waited past my appointment time. She also came to deliver my daughter and she rushed over in no time! I would recommend Dr. Singh to everyone looking to have the best prenatal appointments and an amazing delivery experience!

I saw a post on Reddit about someone having a bad experience with Dr. Wells because she didn't feel…read morecared for. I can see how she may not be for everyone but I have no doubt in her ability to provide proper care. She may come off cold but I never once felt like she didn't care. As annoying as it was, she ordered an extra glucose test for me so we knew what my baseline would be. Her threshold is also higher so I had to do the longer test after failing the first one. I did end up with gestational diabetes the second time I tested so it ended up being the right choice. Most importantly, she was there the day I went into labor even though she had PTO. According to my nurse, she prefers to deliver her own patients which I'm learning is not the norm. She came in to check on me the day after also. If you're looking for an OB to feel like your friend she may not be the best fit, but if you want someone who takes your care seriously, she's the right person,

Great knowledgeable doctor. Puts your health, safety and your baby's safe arrival at highest…read morestandards. Very professional and direct communication. I'm blessed to have her as my OB as I had few complications (fall, gestational diabetes). Dr. Wells and her nurses always called me if I had any questions and office staff is friendly. I delivered at saddleback and all the nurses said Dr. Wells delivers all her patients herself. On my delivery day she was working the night shift, had whole office day and still showed up for my delivery between 7pm to 10pm and guided me through every step. First time mom and had a great experience.
