Dr Romeroso took her time with me ( once again) to review my regimen that took me more than a year to start. She went thru everything, answered all of my concerns, kindness, patience, and was very thorough. She really knows her stuff and has great bedside manner. She always is so informative and helpful like a friend or a sister. She always has a smile on her face! I am so grateful I am on the regimen that she put me on. I feel like a new woman and the hormones have helped me to fall asleep, be in a better mood and I am hopeful for more goodness to come out of HRT. She is brilliant. read more

Dr. Romeroso performed a hysterectomy on my fiancé at the Santa Monica UCLA Center today. First, I want to express my profound appreciation to Dr. Romeroso, the resident doctors, nurses, and supporting personnel who were involved in the processing, preparation, and the surgery. Everyone, at every step of the process, was professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. My fiancé and I felt a much lower level of stress and worry, and more confident about the success of the procedure, when we saw that every single person who interacted with us was extremely knowledgeable and invested in their specific tasks. We highly recommend Dr. Romeroso and her team. read more

I've never had a doctor put me more at ease by covering all possible scenarios or avenues of treatment for my fibroid tumors. I had an open myomectomy for the second time in my life recently. I'm certain this second very invasive surgery would have been avoided all together had I found a doctor as experienced as Dr. Romeroso the first time I'd needed surgery years prior. There would've been interventions before it got to the point it did. She gave me options where other doctors callously said I'd need a hysterectomy. It's what would have been easiest. This was a much more difficult surgery than my last one too. I had 35 fibroids destroying my quality of life, three of them qualifying as massive. That said, I had no complications this time and my recovery was so much easier. My questions were answered before I could ask them. A lot of people on here complain about not finding her warm. She's a bit clinical, but I think if she was a man this wouldn't be mentioned. I find most people are conditioned to expect women to be much more intentionally hospitable or accommodating where they'd not expect the same from a dude. She's honest and excellent at what she does. I thought she was gonna take out a nurse for letting me walk around post op without an abdominal binder. She cares. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone for care. I highly recommend her for anyone with fibroid issues. read more

Dr. Romeroso is THE BEST. This is my second pregnancy with her, and I have also been going to her for routine GYN before becoming pregnant. I don't live anywhere near the office now, but refuse to find a new doctor! Better for me to make the drive to see a doctor that I vibe with and trust. If you are looking for a doctor to braid your hair and whisper sweet nothings into your ear, this is not her (though I do not think her bedside manner is lacking, I think she is just not a sugary person). If you are looking for a doctor to be real and honest and straight forward, look no further. She is not one to scare you with unnecessary procedures and tests just to put your mind at ease, she practices evidence-based medicine, and is extremely practical and logical, which is what I need in a doctor and love about her. Additionally, I find myself laughing with her at most appointments, which to me, makes for a very comfortable experience. A lot of these reviews are about her office staff, which she has no control over (an BTW I find scheduling to be very easy, and the staff is always friendly and accommodating), or her not delivering every mother in her care...how would that be physically possible? That's what you get into when you go to a medical group like UCLA (or any medical group). If you take out negative reviews having nothing to do with the doctor, you'll see that she is extremely loved by her patients! Dr. Romeroso for President! read more

I would give five stars if I were just for Brianne. This not great rating is for their no so great office staff. I called their office that was running 10 min late to my appointment and their office assured me it was ok if I was within the 15 mark. Cool, I show up within that time and they check me in without any indication that I was too late or anything. Then I wait an hour in the waiting room and see all the patients in the waiting room get seen. Finally, I ask reception when I was going to be seen. They said I was next but did not know when I would be seen and this was because I was late. Ok, totally understand I was late and that's 100% my fault but it common courtesy and professionalism to let people know they may be waiting over an hour to be seen. I could have rescheduled my work meetings, I could have rescheduled this appointment etc. Nope, no indication of anything from them. Since I didn't have time to wait for a vague time when I'd be seen, I ask to reschedule and they say the next appointment is in 2 months. Seriously? How did being 10 min late equate to having to wait over an hour, then 2 month wait? This staff needs to be more professional and communicative. I love Brianne, but I'm going to find another gyno with better office staff. read more

Romeroso has seen me throughout my pregnancy. I give her three stars because she's not a horrible doctor, but there is room for improvement. To me she "hears you" , but she doesn't know how to identify or empathize with her patients. Whenever I told her about a concern I had, she would simply say "it's normal". After a while, I just chucked it up to her not being a mother, and never having to go through pregnancy. I was also told that when I go into labor any of the doctors in the office will deliver my baby. I was hoping that the same doctor who saw me throughout my pregnancy was going to be there. I don't know these doctors and have no relationship with them. I like physicians who are passionate about their job and don't treat patients like a number. However, that is their system and it works for them. On a different occasion, Romeroso checked her cell phone while she was in the room with me. It wasn't a "whip your phone out and check", but more like a quick three second glance. I know it's not much to some people, and yes, I know she is a doctor, and maybe she felt comfortable to do that since I have somewhat of a laid back attitude, but still, I found it unprofessional. Sweetie is an OB/GYN, not an emergency room surgeon. Lastly, the only reason I draw attention to these things is because my sister and I have the same due date. I went with her to see her OB, and I received more information and better care from her, and I wasn't even her patient. Like I said, she's not horrible, but there is room for improvement. A good thing is that I've never had to wait more then ten minutes to see her after I checked in. The front office staff knew who I was by my second trimester and are always friendly. However, if I do get pregnant again, I want another physician. read more

The office staff here is pure garbage. Horrible attitudes. Lacks phone etiquette when you do get through. Will not return phone calls after numerous messages. read more

I had a great experience with Dr. Romeroso. I loved her practical approach and I always felt like she took her time with me and listened to my questions. read more

I went to see Dr. Romeroso for a procedure. It was scheduled and done. I had complications and I called her. Her receptionist said what I felt was normal. She never returned my call. I waited as she suggested. I ended up in the ER. I am not happy with this doctor. You need to take responsibility as a doctor for your patients well being. I put trust in a doctor that had no care or interest to make me feel better. I do not recommend this doctor. I am very disappointed in the service I received. read more

Dr. Romeroso was my OB/GYN this year for my first baby. I found her to be an excellent doctor. She was prompt in responding to all my questions through the UCLA message portal and the times I called when she was on call, she was very helpful. As a first time mom, I was a little nervous about everything and I found her to be very professional and direct (in a good way). I also felt that she was very open and not judgmental about any of the decisions I felt was best for me or my baby during pregnancy. Since UCLA has a rotating system, unfortunately, another doctor had to deliver my baby but she was excellent as well. I would highly recommend Dr. Romeroso and the entire Santa Monica UCLA OB GYN team. They took great care of me and my son during my pregnancy, delivery and follow-up care. - Andrea Darrington read more

Doctor Romeroso is an Awesome doctor. She delivered our first child. Highly recommended. From a dad's perspective she's A+ both on the prenatal visits and the birth. My wife felt the same way. She's extremely competent and has a great sense of humor. If you can work with her, she's excellent. read more

I went to Dr. Romeroso off a recommendation from a friend. She was polite and straight forward during my first pregnancy which was healthy and normal. However, I was given what I strongly believe to be unsound medical advice that she refused to acknowledge before I miscarried my second child. I had an IUD in for 1.5 years after my first pregnancy and my period disappeared meaning I had a very thin uterine lining. Dr. Romeroso told us we could start trying immediately after the IUD removal. I ended up falling pregnant with a day or two of removal. 6 weeks later I ended up in the ER with excessive bleeding. The doctors discovered a blood clot around the gestational sac (called a subchorionic hematoma) and 3 days later I went through a very traumatic miscarriage even though the baby had been growing and had a heartbeat. For whatever reason the gestational sac could not hold on and it seems very rational and obvious that the detachment occurred because of an issue with my uterine lining and implantation. Dr. Romeroso told me there was no evidence of any connection between falling pregnant so fast after the IUD and miscarrying, even though the anecdotal evidence online is vast and most other doctors will recommend waiting one cycle before trying. Dr. Romeroso, however, refused to even entertain my suggestion. Then, when I went in for my appointment after I miscarried, I was basically given a handshake and told to wait a few months and try again. No resources, no empathy, no suggested follow-up. I was just a number in the gigantic UCLA health system. The care at UCLA is incredibly impersonal. If you have a healthy pregnancy it works but you never know what complications are going to arise. I do not recommend this practice to any women who are pregnant and looking for an OB. read more

Dr. Romeroso is excellent. I had my first appt with her back in 2017, that first pregnancy ended up in miscarriage, her bedside manners definitely made a difference in the way my husband and I received the news. Then later when I consulted with a fertility specialist outside UCLA, she helped me order labs recommended by this other Dr., they communicated via email and worked together just fine. In September 2018 when we confirmed my current pregnancy with an US at 10 weeks, she hugged me and congratulate us, and it felt genuine. So this is Dr. Romeroso: professional, informative, caring, and with a good attitude. Gotta love her read more

I have seen Dr. Romeroso throughout my uncomplicated pregnancy. She seems knowledgeable but there is no warmth or empathy in her bedside manner. She was all business and did not either have the time for or care to take the time for patient education. There were times when I asked her to help me identify the location of my growing uterus or how the baby was positioned (later in pregnancy), she never once touched my belly. She just brushed off my requests saying "We can check at the next ultrasound." I just found this odd for an OB! There is nothing really "wrong" with her as a doctor but I want more from my OB, especially as a first time mom. The front office staff is great though, always friendly and helpful. I also never had a problem making an appointment. Lastly, the UCLA online portal for appointments, lab results etc is really great too. read more

I just had my baby in June and i can only say positive things for Dr.Romeroso, she was always understanding and always replied via mychart when i had a question or concern. The staff is GREAT overall. read more

My wife and I were very pleased with Dr. Romeroso--I'm actually quite surprised to see the negative reviews here. To us, she was understanding, knowledgeable and very helpful. And she is very approachable and easy to talk to. She even went out of her way to rush and see us at the hospital! I would certainly give her a try to see if she fits your style. We give her an A+! read more

Dr Romeroso has been fantastic for me and my pregnancy with my first child. She is very down to earth and I love her real approach. I don't like things sugarcoated and she makes sure that she is always honest with me. She has also been EXTREMELY supportive, and a delight throughout each appointment. I trust her completely and am always happy to pay a visit to Santa Monica! read more

Poor 'bedside manner". She is an apathetic doctor. I found that she had a hard time being genuinely friendly, empathetic, and concerned. And any small ounce of friendliness felt fake and forced. She has the pedigree and looks good on paper, but lacks the personality to be a caring physician. The other reviewers were spot on - decent doctor but treats you like a number rather than a person. For example, didn't even say congrats when I gave birth, after seeing her for 9 months! Didn't ask how my newborn was. Nothing! As of this review, she also ISN'T BOARD CERTIFIED - only 'board eligible' - which means she either didn't take the test yet or didn't pass the test. (food for thought) read more

I left her an URGENT message two months ago and never heard back. I called dozens of times hoping to speak to someone but ultimately I had to see another doctor. I called this morning about another urgent matter and I don't expect to hear back from her at all this time either. Don't even bother going to this doctor, she's terrible. read more

Dr. Brianne Romeroso is a fantastic doctor. She's attentive, relatable, and answered all my questions. She was also very kind and supportive during my surgery recovery in the hospital and in her office. Because of her skill with my surgery, my husband and I were able to finally get pregnant a year later. I can't say enough wonderful things about her, only express my thanks. read more

Very dismissive. I've had bleeding and cramps between cycles and after the regular pelvic ultrasound showed nothing, she said this was all normal and sometimes they don't know why. Well it was NOT normal for me. That's why I was there! There are other imaging tests besides that one that could have been performed. She offered me an endometrial biopsy. And "offer" is what she said. How she went from "it's normal" to "let's schedule an invasive procedure" is beyond me. I wouldn't let this woman give me an injection let alone deliver something as precious as a baby. read more

I'm updating this review. I had a panel of tests done for in preparation for a procedure. She scheduled the tests, didn't really comment on anything irregular and what to watch out for. I had one test result that was borderline. Didn't mention anything until I prodded her. Then she said. "Well, I guess you may have [the condition], if the other doctor says so, since you're borderline." Well, I guess I'll find another doctor. I also find it weird that I'm considered the first to have reviewed her, but there was another negative review posted prior to mine that was taken down. That's who "Kiki" is in my first review. read more

I read these other reviews and can't believe we're talking about the same Doctor. Dr Romeroso is one of the best docs I've ever had. I had a very abnormal pap & she emailed me (via the UCLA my health website- which is a GREAT tool in case you don't use it) and personally called me to talk through it- she was very kind, empathetic & went out of her way to ensure I felt OK emotionally. I also had some sharp lumps and she sent me for a Mamogram immediately & followed up with me after this. When I wanted to learn more about types of UDI's she sat with me in her office & talked about pros & cons of each. I've had nothing but an incredible experience with her! read more

Dr. Romoroso is the BEST. She is by far one of the most responsive doctors -- in any specialty -- that I have ever dealt with and I'm a senior so I've dealt with many doctors over the years. She is presently going to bat for me with my insurance company over a drug I have taken for years and that suddenly my Medicare part D does not want to pay for. I call her my warrior/OBGYN because of her tenacity. In response to some of the comments, I think she has great bedside manner, is smart as a whip, certainly not an alarmist -- someone I am very happy to have on my team. read more
