I went to Dr.King for an IUD removal/replacement consult (my first insertion at another OBGYN…read moreclinic was horrifically painful and traumatic, and I've been neglecting going back to an obgyn and getting annual pap smears because of how scared I felt). I decided to come here for the first time for a consult of IUD replacement options, and was comfortable enough during the consult to go ahead with a full general exam/pap smear, and Dr.King even offered comprehensive bloodwork to be done as I had some concerns. He was extremely professional, compassionate, listened to every concern I had and addressed every thing I was worried about. He mentioned things I hadn't even heard of other clinics doing like performing an ultrasound during the IUD insertion so they can see it being inserted properly, as well as anesthetic options. Dr. King gave me a few options to choose from for replacement/pain management and I'm so grateful to have gone to him. He made sure that I asked every question I can think of, and I really felt heard. Women's health care should be a much bigger priority when we are discussing pain management, long-term care, and making sure that patients feel comfortable enough to go back to maintain health. I felt like this office and Dr.King really care for their patients, and the Office Manager also came to check in with me to make sure if there was anything else they can do to make my visit more pleasant, and also gave me detailed information about costs that I had requested. I made an appointment for my IUD replacement, and I have already recommended this place to a couple others. I saw that the other negative reviews were mostly about not being vaccinated/boostered for COVID. I am grateful that this clinic prioritizes their staff and patient's health and was even more of a green flag. Everyone was mindful, polite, and made my experience comfortable

I was told that microneedling and prp would help reduce the stretch mark, I decided to go for it. It all went downhill from here. I came in for my appt. after work and they were running behind, I waited for almost an hour, fine with me. Then I was finally taken in the room and I showed her which areas I wanted to get done and she proceeded to tell me "oh that's a big area, I won't be able to get everything done today, can you come back tomorrow for the rest?" I said that's fine. Then we proceeded to get my blood drawn and she added numbing cream to the area but of course.... she was running out of numbing cream so she barely put any. She leaves the room while we wait for the numbing cream to kick in but then I waited for almost an hour cause she was still trying to take care of another patient, she kept apologizing and kept saying she doesn't understand why the front desk only books for X amount of time for these kind of session. When she finally came back to do the microneedling, she warned me it was going to be prickling... fine but then she also kept going over the same area because she wanted "to go deeper to get the most out of it"... I was in pain but I held it in because I trusted her.... she kept going over the area MULTIPLE TIMES!!!! I left there in so much pain and couldn't shower for days... I paid a pretty good amount for the session, came back the following day to another esthetician and paid for "another session" even though my first session wasn't done. I told the front desk but I didn't want to argue with them and was just glad that something can be done with the stretch mark. The second session was much less invasive and the healing process took no more than 3 days. The first session was still no where close to healing after 3 days... all in all it took almost a month for it heal. It took almost a whole week before I could shower normally and tolerate the pain from the wound. I was told that I would need a series of this process and should wait 4-6 weeks to come back. I was also told the healing process would take no longer than a week... true for the second session but completely false for the first session. For almost the entire month I was in pain but I thought it was normal because she had done it deeper, nor did she tell me to put anything on it to help with the healing process. Fast forward to 6-8 weeks later, I started getting hyperpigmentation... it was done wayyyy to deep that it damaged my skin. I called them and sent them pictures about it and I was told... "it may have been because I was stress" I ended up going to another place asking about it and the doctor told me that they should have been more careful as this area is sensitive and that they had damaged my skin due to the fact that they went too deep. I was given a hyperpigmentation bar to use and a cream to help with this but I've been even more self conscious about my legs than I ever was before. It's summer and I've not worn shorts or any type of clothing that would show my legs... I tried to come back but my schedule was getting pretty hectic and then when I was finally able to make an appointment it got rescheduled because the doctor was going to be out at which point I just gave up because I don't think they would have been able to help me, I was really curious to see what they would have said but I don't think they would have done anything.. they were no where near apologetic about what happened nor where they trying to help out. Now I'm down almost $600 only to leave with even worse feeling than before. Long story short, don't come here to get anything done for your skin otherwise you'll just walk away with worse skin than before and $$$ money short. Worst money I've ever spent!!!!!!!!!! I regret ever coming here.

I recommended this place to a friend. She had an in person visit then called 3 times for a follow up so they could go over her results. Televisit scheduled, same thing happened to her. When the doctor finally called, they lost her ultrasound and could give her results. Are you kidding me?

While I appreciate Dr. Kafali's medical expertise, my overall experience with this office was very…read morenegative. The most difficult part was the handling of my colposcopy. I was extremely anxious about the procedure after an abnormal pap smear. During the colposcopy, I was crying due to past trauma, and the doctor seemed oblivious to my distress. When I apologized, her response was dismissive, putting the blame back on me. A doctor should prioritize making their patients feel comfortable, especially during sensitive procedures. Beyond that, the office's communication was a constant source of frustration. Results took far too long to be delivered, and I had to schedule virtual appointments just to get simple information (and was charged for 2 minute long phone calls). My last visit was a time that I was supposed to wait 5-10 business days for results and had to call after 3 weeks to get the results. Those results required an additional procedure (another coloposcopy) and medication for a yeast infection that had since resolved itself. When I called to schedule this additional procedure, I was told the doctor was on vacation and would have to wait several weeks to be seen again. This would have been avoided had the results been shared to me within the initial timeline. On another visit, I was left waiting half-dressed in the exam room for 30 minutes. The office also tried to charge a fee for me to get my own medical records. This office needs to focus on patient comfort, care, and communication to provide a better experience. I have never had such a negative experience with a doctor's office in my life. I HIGHLY recommend you go elsewhere!!

As both a patient and a nurse, my labor and delivery experience with Dr. Salasche was extremely…read moretraumatic. It has taken me one year to work up the courage to write this. I arrived in spontaneous labor and was having strong, regular contractions on my own. My labor was progressing normally and was not prolonged. Around 5 cm dilated, my daughter experienced her first heart rate deceleration. Rather than taking a more cautious approach after that change, Dr. Salasche told me she wanted to start Pitocin and manually break my water. I questioned why these interventions were necessary. As a nurse, I understood that Pitocin would intensify my contractions and that breaking my water would remove the protective cushion of amniotic fluid surrounding my baby. Given that she had already experienced a heart rate deceleration, I was deeply concerned that these interventions could place her under even more stress. My labor was already progressing naturally, and my contractions were strong and effective without augmentation. I specifically told Dr. Salasche that I did not want my water broken or Pitocin started at that point based on both my clinical knowledge as a nurse and my intuition as a mother. Despite making my wishes clear, she forcefully broke my water and told me I "didn't have a choice." They did not start Pitocin after I repeatedly refused. In that moment, I felt powerless. No one should ever be made to feel that informed consent no longer applies simply because she is in labor. What happened next was equally disturbing. My labor nurse advocated for me, asking that we respect my wishes and allow my daughter time to recover from her heart rate deceleration before proceeding with additional interventions like breaking my water or starting Pitocin. Rather than engaging in a thoughtful discussion, Dr. Salasche yelled at the nurse in front of me, stating that she had given her an order and instructing her not to undermine her. As both a patient and a nurse, witnessing a physician berate a nurse for advocating for her patient was heartbreaking. Instead of fostering teamwork during a critical moment, it created an atmosphere of fear and intimidation. I will always be grateful to that nurse for having the courage to advocate for me and my daughter when I felt my own voice had been taken away. Nurses truly are the heart of healthcare. Throughout my labor, my daughter continued to experience episodes of heart rate decelerations, and at the time no one knew why. After delivery, we learned that she had a short and marginally inserted umbilical cord and cord compression. Looking back, I can't help but question whether attempting to augment my labor with Pitocin and manually breaking my water after those initial decelerations could have placed my daughter at even greater risk. While no one can know with certainty what would have happened, those decisions continue to weigh heavily on me given what we later learned. In fact, while under Dr. Norlin's care during my pregnancy our daughter's heart rate had dropped from 150/160 to 120 about a week prior to delivery. I thought it was clinically significant and also mentioned I felt really small being so close to my due date and that my sister had placenta issues so I was concerned. I asked for a scan and she said no. Now we know this: After delivery, pathology revealed multiple abnormal findings, including an extremely short 14 cm umbilical cord, a significantly small placenta, and circummarginate membranes. My labor was not prolonged. I received my epidural around 2:00 a.m., and my daughter was born vaginally just after 10:00 a.m - healthy and happy. I was progressing naturally, yet I was repeatedly pushed toward unnecessary interventions. I never felt heard, respected, or safe in Dr. Salasche's care. Every patient deserves informed consent and respect. I'm incredibly grateful that my daughter is healthy, but I cannot recommend this practice based on my experience. My hope is that no other woman leaves her birth feeling that her voice was taken away.

He literally saved my…read morelife and has continued to go above and beyond for what has been a very complicated and emotional journey with stage 4 endometriosis and infertility. I first met Dr. Shashoua after a failed embryo transfer that left me septic, internally bleeding, and in critical condition. I was so sick that I didn't fully understand what was happening -- I was truly dying. Dr. Shashoua stepped in with the urgency, skill, and calm confidence that only an exceptional surgeon can bring. He performed the emergency operation that saved my life, and I will forever be grateful. After stabilizing me, he did something that shows how deeply he cares about his patients: he referred me to a far better fertility doctor because he knew I needed more specialized and attentive care than I had previously received. That referral changed everything for my fertility journey. A few months later, he performed my endometriosis excision surgery and removed my tubes. These were major, life-altering procedures, and he approached every decision with precision, empathy, and extraordinary expertise. I now see him regularly to monitor and manage my endometriosis and infertility, and he continues to provide the highest level of care. What sets him apart is how closely he works hand-in-hand with my fertility doctor, ensuring that every aspect of my treatment is coordinated. My case is extremely complex and often overwhelming, but he has never once made me feel like a burden. He treats me with compassion, respect, and true dedication. If you have endometriosis, fertility challenges, pelvic pain, or any complicated gynecologic or urologic condition, Dr. Shashoua is the doctor you want in your corner. He is an extraordinary surgeon, an exceptional physician, and someone who genuinely cares about his patients' lives and futures. I owe him mine.
