She is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and easy to talk to, which made me feel supported throughout my pregnancy.

I have complete trust in her care and am very grateful to have had her as my doctor.

# They take the liberty of canceling your appointments even without your confirmation!!!…read more If you ever want your doctor's appointment to be canceled, even without your knowledge, then you are in luck, and the Doctor's patient service manager takes all the credit and liberty in doing this. Personally, I don't know the doctor, but I saw really good reviews for her and her team. Thinking that they would all be professional and provide an excellent diagnosis and service, I scheduled an appointment with her by calling Sutter Health's patient care line back in June this year for a UTI/Vaginal discomfort diagnosis. I got very frustrated when they cancelled my appointment today (10/4) for the one I had on (10/6) without even asking for my confirmation. They called me around 11:30 am while I was still in an office meeting, and even before I could hear the voicemail and respond, I got a message on the Sutter Health app saying that my appointment had been cancelled. My husband and I kept calling the Los Altos office from noon to 3 pm to find out why and how they could proceed without my confirmation. We just kept hearing that the manager was still in her "lunch". Only after speaking with patient relations was I able to connect with the relevant person. The staff member (Betty) who spoke informed me that they had the right to cancel my appointment without my consent, and I should be aware of all the conditions related to OB/GYN that Dr. Shin would diagnose. We found these comments to be unprofessional and rude, lacking empathy for me. Additionally, in the reason for cancellation, they mentioned that since I have already established my patient care at another facility within Sutter Health, I should go there instead. This seemed absurd, as I had already scheduled an appointment with the Los Altos center earlier in June. How can a patient be expected to be aware of all this information? Isn't this the duty of a patient relations manager? In the end, the staff sounded a little rude and even said, "I know you have a patient relation number, and if you want to proceed with the grievance, go ahead." This kind of attitude in health care is unacceptable, and it is not fair to cancel a critical appointment without a patient's consent. My right as a patient to reasonable continuity of care, advance notice of appointments, and participation in care decisions was violated. I request that the Sutter Health Patient Care Team investigate this matter so that, in the future, no one can end up in a similar situation.

I wish Dr. Anderson was my OBGYN since pregnancy, but she wasn't accepting new patient for treating…read morepregnancy at the time (about 4yrs ago now). I was in labor for 4 days. They tried everything from induction to breaking my water. But my baby was just too comfortable to come out. Mind you, I was going for all natural so I wasn't given any type of epidural anesthesia for the first 3 days. Until day 4, they wanted to try the maximum amount of induction medication and worried that I wouldn't be able to handle it, so I was then given epidural. One of the doctors broke my water on day 3 evening, hoping it would trigger the baby to go down more, but unfortunately didn't do much. Dr. Anderson came and greeted me on day 4; I told her that I recognized her because I was trying to get her to be my pregnancy OBGYN. She was the most caring doctor throughout the 4 days I was there. She came check on me as she promised every hour. She came in to let me know that she was performing a C-section for another mom so it would take longer for her to come back to see me. Then, she came right after she was done. In the evening of day 4, she recommended C-section because it was almost 24hr since my water broke, and the baby might be too big to come down any further any time soon. I asked if she can perform the C-section for me - although she was time for her to go home, she said yes and promised to be there for me. I agreed with the C-section and they started to get the surgery room ready. Dr. Anderson talked and explained every step throughout the surgery. My baby came out perfect and she was weighing at 9lbs. Perhaps that's why she wasn't going down. Again, how I till this day, wish I saw Dr. Anderson from day one of my pregnancy or my labor. I really think that my experience would be a lot better than it was. I recommend Dr. Anderson for all the moms out there.

She is so knowledgeable, would be thorough when answering my questions and go through all my options. She is friendly and always made me feel like a priority.

I'd like to update my review for Dr. Ecklund now that I'm expecting my first child. As a newbie…read moreparent, I am nervous and rather ignorant about pregnancy and childcare. I ask a lot of dumb questions to be honest. :) But Dr. Ecklund is so reassuring, caring and competent that I feel much more at ease whenever I speak to her. Her response times are prompt too. At each of my OB visits, Dr. Ecklund walks in the room knowing my exact medical history. I don't know about you - but I've had doctors in the past who had to refer to my file multiple times or ask a ton of questions during my visit. Dr. Ecklund seems to really know and care about her patients. As a GYN, she is great too - though you'd just have to wait awhile to get an appointment since priority is given to us preggo ladies. And of course as an OB she is fantastic!

Thank God she's retired. God who knows how many people she caused pain to. Thankfully, I now have a…read morehealthy 7-year-old (naturally with no intervention or fertility treatments), and I credit that to stepping away from Dr. Ecklund's care and finding providers who truly listened. I'm currently under the care of a physician affiliated with El Camino Hospital and Bay Area Maternity, and the difference in attentiveness and support has been night and day. I would not recommend Dr. Ecklund, particularly for anyone dealing with sensitive or complex reproductive health issues. While she was helpful when I first saw her nearly a decade ago, my later experiences raised serious concerns about the level of care provided. Over the years, I experienced four miscarriages. After the first, Dr. Ecklund was completely unreachable, and another doctor had to step in. During my second miscarriage, she did not follow appropriate protocols, such as conducting a full panel of hormone tests -- something I ultimately had to advocate for myself. Most recently, after discovering I was pregnant again, I reached out promptly, given my history. Despite previously telling me to notify her immediately in such a case, her office stated she would not see me until 8-10 weeks. While this may be standard for most pregnancies, it is not appropriate for someone with recurrent pregnancy loss. Fortunately, I was able to find a more responsive and compassionate provider, recommended by a friend, who saw me right away. In addition to the lack of individualized care, I felt there was an overall emphasis on promoting fertility treatments rather than investigating the root causes of my miscarriages. After my second loss, Dr. White -- covering for Dr. Ecklund at the time -- strongly pushed IVF, despite the fact that I had been able to conceive naturally each time after only a few months of trying. It felt less like a thoughtful recommendation and more like a rushed, sales-driven approach. Finally, I find it concerning that my original review on Yelp appeared to have been hidden or removed without explanation, requiring me to repost it. I believe it's important that patients are able to share honest experiences, especially when it comes to critical matters like reproductive health.

This is my second review (second pregnancy!) for Dr Thompson because he is just that amazing and by…read morefar the BEST doctor you can find. 11/10 recommend if you are pregnant and are looking for someone that will provide you with the absolute best care around. Dr Thompson cared for me throughout my first pregnancy and I had a great experience. When I got pregnant with my second baby, I already knew I wanted Dr Thompson to be my doctor especially as he had opened up his concierge practice. For starters, Larissa, who works the front is incredibly warm, friendly, and helpful. Scheduling any appointment was so easy, communication about information was fast, and she was always empathetic and patient with any questions/concerns. She helped us get scheduled for our first appointment so quick! From our first appointment to our last one, Dr Thompson was incredibly supportive, kind, patient, understanding, empathetic, professional, and helpful. He answered all of our questions and concerns at every single appointment, provided me with so much encouragement, and always made sure to let us know he was available at all times if needed. I unfortunately got COVID during the earlier part of my pregnancy and got so sick. I texted Dr Thompson late in the evening and he called me within minutes to check in with me and made sure I was ok and addressed my concerns I had. It was such a relief to have those answers immediately when you're feeling so sick and worried about your baby. This was the case throughout the rest of my pregnancy; anytime I asked Dr Thompson a question or had a concern, he responded to me quickly giving me peace of mind within hours. When I went into labor and my water broke, Dr Thompson walked us through what to do and supported our decision until I was ready to get to the hospital. We had such a great experience during labor and delivery, Dr Thompson checked in on me and walked me through my progress each time. Right before it was time to push, I had a tough emotional moment and amongst the chaos, Dr Thompson took the time to recognize that and made such a difference reassuring me that I was safe and in charge, and gave me a moment with my husband to make sure I was ready to go. Our perfect beautiful baby boy was safely delivered by Dr Thompson and we couldn't be more grateful for such a safe and healthy experience. He checked in on us twice afterwards to make sure we were doing well and addressed any questions/concerns. I've unfortunately had some breastfeeding issues postpartum but Dr Thompson has been there every step of the way, responding incredibly quickly providing me with the much needed care to get me feeling healthy again. All this to say is that the experience during pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum with Dr Thompson is unmatched. You need to have him as your doctor if you're expecting, it'll be the easiest and best decision you'll make for one of the most important moments of your life! We're forever grateful!

In my opinion of most doctors, you see them when something is up and they will fix the issue. Dr. Amy Teng will try to prevent you from getting the issue in the first place. She is knowledgeable, understanding, and open to discuss your medical preferences. If you feel you lack medical knowledge or if you simply like to be told what to do (what will happen) come to Dr. Amy Teng and she can work with you however you prefer. In my case, I like to be informed and am my own advocate and she respects my wishes and will work with me towards a common goal. I have not seen any other doctors that are part of El Camino Women's Medical Group (yet) but the people managing the front office are amazing. You have your own patient portal where you can send them a non-urgent message and a/your doctor will respond asap. All your lab results are on the same portal which is very convenient. When making a new appointment, the front office will also put this up in your portal. If you are looking for a great OBGYN or Women's Clinic go with them and talk to the doctors and front office about your needs and also if you feel they can improve their service. With some good feedback and open communication, all parties involved will be better off.

I wanted to take a pill and she strongly rec against that and said it looked like a possible molar pregnancy. I asked her about risks of D&C including scarring and her exact words were "for you? There's no risk of that" We scheduled the D&C and she completed it. At the post op she said everything looked fine and that she herself had had a miscarriage and it's only my first one and it'll be okay. After 6weeks of no period (and regular periods my entire life like clockwork) I reached out to her. She said maybe I have pcos and wanted to put me on progesterone and do additional tests.

I did research myself and went to a specialist Reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist who confirmed that I had scarring from the D&C procedure.
