Ladies, it's time to start care with Dr. Bravo. I have never met a more kind, generous, and sweet doctor than Dr. Bravo. I have been in care with her for about 2 years now and I am looking forward to seeing her every time. I recently got an IUD and,rightfully, I was nervous. Dr. Bravo melted away my fears like ice cream on a hot summer day. Did I go a little gray and almost faint during the procedure? yes. is that dr. bravo's doing? nope. I couldn't recommend her more. read more

Claire V. Bravo Md - dr bravo thank you so much! - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I came here to write a review because I can't believe how many bad ones are on here. I saw Dr. Bravo my whole pregnancy in 2020 and delivered my baby. She was amazing and so encouraging and caring. I then started seeing her again because of symptoms i was having and was diagnosed with uterine polyps. I booked a surgery with her to remove them and everything went super smooth. She was reassuring and since she knows that we might want another baby one day, she even shared with me that she would be extra careful in the way she approached the surgery. I love that when I get an ultrasound, Dr. Bravo goes over them with me right after. Sure, she is straight forward but she always refers to me as "my dear" and I have never thought she was rude. About the fees...Dr.Bravo is one of the best OBGYN's in LA and even though she has a private office, she delivers babies and performs surgeries at Cedar's Sinai, one of the best hospitals in the united states. I will pay however much I need to. I love that hospital so much and feel so safe and taken care of there. I have a lot of anxiety so thats important to me. About the staff...I have never had a negative experience with the front desk, the nurses, or DJ (shoutout to DJ, she's the best). The current ultrasound tech is also really great. read more

I've been very happy with the care I've received and continue to receive from Dr. Bravo as my OBGYN. She is straight the the point, but also still caring and personable. Her bedside manners are excellent and I've never felt uncomfortable. She will be a step ahead of you and ask a question for you that you may be thinking or something else you should know and go ahead and tell you. More information the better for me, so I appreciate that. She made time during her holiday break for a phone call to discuss results, much appreciated as well. I don't think I've ever seen her on time for my scheduled appt, but it's never that long of a wait and the all the women in the office are friendly. You never know what the previous pregnant person is going through before you so I don't mind the short wait. I've never had any issues with scheduling or paperwork, its all been smooth. Dr. Bravo is worth the extra fees and I would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you, Dr. Bravo & team! Parking: There is some free parking around the buildings, but the spots are usually taken. I always find free parking on Olympic and walk a few blocks instead paying for the structure. read more

I am Dr Bravo's patient since 2016 and I always had good experience with her and her staff. She delivered both of my kids and I am grateful to be her her patient. I was confident as she is the expert in the most complicated pregnancies . read more

Terrible front desk with such a bad vibe and attitude ! Stay away from that place if you want a place that you feel belong and comfortable it's not that office! read more

The staff is terrible unapproachable, rude and not professional. The doctor seems nice but all the visits they made me wait 40 minutes to 1 hour and then they kept knocking the door every 2 seconds to tell her to speed up So annoying! They have all extra fees 150 first time then they expect 2000 extra for not sure what I saw the bill to my insurance and they charged 1000 for one visit ( plus my 150) The office it's dark, very old and not welcoming. read more

I've tried to book an appointment with Dr. Bravo two different times over the last couple of years. Both times their front desk has been nasty to deal with-- so much that I've had to walk away. I'm not sure what's going on but I will not be going there after this last incident. Too bad because I've heard good things about Dr. Bravo. read more

I chose to go based on the positive reviews of Dr Bravo. She was kind but it's such a shame they have unprofessional and ghetto front desk staff who are not just rude with us patients but amongst themselves! Dj and Martha were very disrespectful and constant misuse of words always attempting to degrade me and others as I've witnessed when I was just there to get care being a first time mom. No sympathy I was really shocked with the way I was treated plus a clinic in Beverly Hills seemed like I was in a clinic in Compton or south central surrounded by gangsters. Will not be going back such a shame for the Dr hopefully she can get new front desk staff it would make a difference for us patients who clearly we don't come first. I sure didn't. Dj was very confrontational and she calls herself the assistant manager but I highly doubt her education went as far as high school and has no professional train as well as no manners Martha was also very unkind and rude. Worst experience ever very unfair. First point of contact is everything I can't stress enough how shocked I was being in a nice neighborhood surrounded by such unpleasant front desk workers!! If you want to be treated fairly with respect don't come here! Hope it helps others and don't have to experience the same unpleasant experience I went through I will not be coming back! read more

Doctors and staff there are weird . Even with insurance card they charge you fees, like 150 dollars when i supposed to pay only 5 dollars copay. It is like a machine to make money . Wont never go back. Also Dr. Bravo is always rushing, shaking, nervous and make me nervous. read more

Dr Bravo delivered my first son during pandemic 2021, had I gone to another OBGYN I'm almost certain my vaginal delivery would have ended in c-section. She's very patient, nonjudgemental, and easy to talk to. I'm writing this review now years later because I am almost due with my second baby and am sad and having anxiety that Dr Bravo is not delivering my second baby (distance is too far). read more

i LOOOOVE Dr. Bravo! I can't speak more highly of her, She truly is the best! I've never had luck with finding good doctor care, i usually settle with subpar care honestly because the time and effort it takes to find a great doctor was too much for my busy schedule. But when i became pregnant, i knew i had to change that and find a Doctor i can trust to really listen and care for my baby needs. Thankfully, i found this and more in Dr Bravo. She really goes above and beyond for her patients, professional and caring! She listens and answers all of my questions, in full detail to make sure i understand! I am one of those patients who constantly calls to question even the littlest of concerns lol Dr Bravo always calls back, (with impressive timing for a doctor with her patient volume might i add), and patiently goes over everything & never once made me feel like my questions weren't valid like most of the doctors in the past have. Coincidentally, Dr. Bravo was also pregnant during my care & due before me, and get this, she STILL took care of me while she was on her OWN maternity leave at only 5 weeks post-partum!!! SHE IS SUPER WOMAN! She STILL monitored my pregnancy from home and followed up with me with calls to check in on me and baby. She still came to deliver my baby and post birth, she made sure everything was ok and recovering well. When i had issues with admin papers from work, She would personally follow up with me with things like that, she's so on top of everything. I had personal issues i was dealing with during pregnancy and hormonal pregnant me vented to her about it and she was so sweet and listened and talked me through it. I felt comfortable enough to discuss things like that with her because she cares and that's what makes her amazing. I am really happy to be in her care and i recommend to her all my friends and coworkers. Aesthetically, her office is always clean with nice decor. I'm always seen right away during my appointments, hardly any wait time. The ladies in the office are great and responsive, shout out to DJ for always being really helpful and always with a smile. Love her too. DO YOURSELF A KINDNESS AND GO SEE HER. read more

I highly recommend Dr Bravo. I was her Patient at the old office in Century City. She is very caring and she explains everything in detail. She also calls afterward to give you your test result. The old office staff were ok too. Sometimes I had to wait a lot in the waiting room but overall they were ok. I haven't been to her new office so I don't know much about her new office staff so I'm not gonna give any comment about the new office but at the old office I was happy with the with Dr. Bravo. too bad she left. I hope doctors would give better training to their office staff and receptionist so their employees don't make the office look bad. I give a 4 because I don't know about the new office. read more

I LOVE Dr. Bravo. She is very patient and kind! If I have any questions, she takes her time and answers them. I have never felt that comfortable around a doctor till I met Dr. Bravo. I have been with her for 3 years now and I absolutely will recommend her to anyone! I don't understand these bad reviews because I have not experience this. Also for a patient who was always late to her appointments, they would always take me in right away. The staff is amazing as well! read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Bravo's for 7 years and have always thought she's great, knowledgeable, patient and kind! DJ at the front desk is also wonderful, helpful and super friendly. 10 stars for Dr. Bravo and DJ!!!! I'm grateful for them. read more

This ONE star review is based on my horrific front desk experience with Dr. Bravo's wanna be secretary and bad excuse for a medical assistant, Martha. I was booked for Dr. Bravo's office in SAWTELLE. Martha is her rude secretary and she definitly does not like her job. I came in to get a pap and exam with my fiance. Even if I have insurance (or not) Martha angrily snapped "If you had your exam in less than a year, WE WONT SEE YOU" What kind of idiotic and non logical person in the healthcare field says that to a new patient when they are in the exam room? Who hired her? Who trained her?She had terrible bedside manner and her energy was gross. She was disturbingly unfit to be a representative at the Sawtelle location. Not to mention while I waited for Dr. Bravo in the exam room, one of her employees walked in with a gallon of milk and put it inside of the fridge that they use to store specimen. Who does that when the patient is in the exam room? UNCOMFORTABLE DISASTER! On a positive note, Dr. Bravo was nice and informative but I will never set foot to see her or her unfriendly secretary. Not worth it when there A+++ OBGYN with state of the art offices. read more

I haven't seen Dr. Bravo since I left LA in 2019, and it took me years to write this review. Dr. Bravo was my OB/GYN for many years, and I always thought she was amazing, until my last visit. I had stopped the birth control pill and put on 30 lbs in a month. I had addressed this concern with Dr. Bravo, who brushed off my experience, said people usually lose weight once they stop it, and to quote her words "maybe just put the fork down". This was extremely invalidating and very inappropriate, especially as she had seen me for years and saw that I kept my weight steady (and could lose easily when I did gain weight during the holiday season, for example). It turns out, after seeing another doctor, that I had a hormonal imbalance that needed to be fixed. Dr. Bravo - shame on you for not believing me and saying I had to stop eating to lose the weight. This sort of behavior is not professional and not acceptable. read more

Ive had many docs during my time in LAand I can assure you, Dr Bravo is one of the good guys. Ive never felt so listened to...it's amazing what a little of that can do when you've been suffering with lady pain for many years... Thank you Dr. Bravo. read more

Have to leave a review for Dr. Bravo because she is just one of the best doctors I've ever had. I just recommended her to a good friend so wound up looking her up on Yelp. I was her patient for several years and unfortunately she is out of my new HMO network but I can't wait to change insurance and go back to her again. Like other reviewers say, she is incredibly caring and patient, answers all of your questions, and never rushes you. That can result in a 30 min appt lasting 2 hrs but it's worth every minute of wait time. A wonderful human being and incredibly knowledgeable physician - five stars or more! read more

I absolutely ADORE Dr. Bravo. She's young and super knowledgeable (it's hard to believe she's a doctor despite looking so young...) I met with other obgyns before, and they would ask me some questions, and throw some birth control at me without explaining too much. I got super depressed on the pill, broke out like crazy, and gained 10 lbs. When I went back to change it, my old obgyn recommended me another brand... which people said made them break out even more. WOW. she had no idea what she was talking about. When I went to Dr. Bravo, she thoroughly examined me and answered my NUMEROUS questions. I believe my first and 2nd visits were around an hour long! You can just tell she's super helpful and just knows what's she's doing. I asked her so many questions that I had because I had some health concerns that were plagueing me for the longest time. She calmly explained it to me and told me not to freak out. She prescribed bcd to me too but the pill actually worked on me pretty well (almost no side effects). I highly recommend Dr. Claire Bravo! :) read more

I went to the century city location and it is by far the worst practice hands down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The bed side manner was horrific. read more

So far I've only been to her office at the Nippon clinic, but will be visiting this office in a few days. Dr. Bravo was very professional and charming. I felt relaxed and comfortable during my exam. She carefully explained every step, and was not patronizing. She asked about my general health and took time to answer all of my questions, no matter what the subject. I felt like she really listened to me, which not all highly-educated doctors do. I wasn't rushed at all, and didn't have to wait more than a few minutes to see her. Basically, I could imagine hanging out at a bar with her, and it wouldn't be weird like it sometimes is when you socialize with your gynecologist. You know what that's like, right? read more

Still wonderful! Dr. Bravo , despite having a busy practice, is always calm and inviting. You would never know she had a fully booked day by the way the office interacts with each other. The same receptionist/scheduler and nurse/MA have been there since I have been a patient. This truly tells the morale of the office. Wish I knew their names to thank them personally on Yelp:) read more

Doctor is unethical and her receptionists are rude and disrespectful. They continue to be condescending and talk over you when you try to speak. They also try to defend charging $150 for a follow up visit letting you know nothing is wrong with you. Would never go back to this doctors office and hope everyone know that they have extremely shady billing practices. read more

I went to Dr. Bravo's office in Century City yesterday and I have to say I was very impressed. Under my HMO plan she is only available on Mondays from 2PM until 5. It sucks that she is only available during those times because she is great to go to for any OBGYN need. She is younger but carries herself as a knowledgeable, well mannered doctor. She answered all my questions and was able to get me in and out of the office at ease. She seems to generally care about the overall health of her patients and explained to me what to expect for follow up etc... After visiting certain "difficult and uncaring" doctors in this building I can say Dr. Bravo knows how to efficiently run an office. Dr. Bravo, can you please talk to the other doctors in that building and teach them a thing or two? read more

Dr Bravo makes you feel comfortable from your first visit and takes the time to listen to you and to respond to any questions you may have. She is caring and very thorough, gives you the feeling that you are in good hands........ No long waiting time and her staff is very professional and helpful. Highly recommended ! read more

I just left my appointment with Dr. Bravo and had to write a review! After experiencing some pain and wanting to make sure everything was okay, I found Dr. Bravo's information under a preferred listing with my insurance carrier. Yesterday I called the office she's in on Sawtelle (Wednesdays only, my luck!) and was able to book an appointment for this afternoon. The woman I spoke with (Marta/Martha) was very professional and quickly told me whether or not my insurance was accepted. She then took my information and ensured me if she had any issues she'd give me a call. Today I arrived 10 minutes early to fill out paperwork. I was immediately greeted and began to fill out the proper forms. This office is no frills, however I didn't mind so long I received proper treatment. Within a few minutes of completing my new patient forms I was taken back and my appointment began. In my experience this whole process has taken anywhere from half an hour to nearly two hours! I was impressed by the efficiency and consideration Dr. Bravo and her staff had for my time. Once Dr. Bravo came in, she was very thorough to go through my history and concerns. I felt like she truly took the time to understand what was going on and how she could help. I left the office feeling at ease and very thankful for the positive experience! read more

I wish I had looked at Yelp first, but unlike the other reviews I did like Dr Bravo. My problem was with the billing. They told me I wasn't covered and made me pay out of pocket. Af that with out my permission and after having already been paid they billed my insurance i only found out because my insurance send me a letter stating they paid them as well. The doctors office maintained they never got paid by my insurance even though I sent them the documents saying they did. So they got paid twice and wouldn't refund me. After looking at the reviews and seeing other people had been billed twice I felt this was not right and I filed a complaint with The Medical Board and dmhc. read more

I went into Dr. Bravo's office after setting a 9:30am appointment. I came in a little early and they informed me my appointment was actually at 9am not 9:30am. Fine. Probably my mistake. But I must say that was the only inconvenience for me. The doctor was great and knowledgeable. Not judgmental at all. She took my questions and answered everything giving me as much information as possible. Overall I'd say she was pretty great. My only concern was we talked a lot about having to set several appointments instead of getting everything done in one day. read more

Dr. Claire Bravo is amazing! She really takes the time to get to know you. I never felt rushed during any of our visits. She is extremely knowledgeable, genuinely kind and professional. I never waited long to be seen. She took the time to call me personally to make sure I was ok & if I had any questions the day before I was to be induced - this personal touch is what makes her excel as a doctor. All nurses at the hospital spoke very highly of her and held her in such high regard. Office Staff is efficient and will answer any questions thoroughly. Other reviews here on yelp about billing have a simple solution - read your billing statement! If you don't get it, just ask :) Highly recommend Dr. Bravo! read more

I am so pleased with the services here. Everyone is just friendly and professional. Dr. Bravo is amazing. I'm so happy that she's reachable if there is an emergency and it's after hours. I am just so thankful for Angie, DJ, and the office manager. They've been so helpful and patient with me. Love you guys!!! You guys rock!!! read more

I'm very surprised to see negative reviews on here as well. I've been a patient of Dr. Bravo's for about 6 years and have never had any billing issues or problems with the staff. Her current receptionist DJ is great, as is her phlebotomist Diana. I love Dr. Bravo so much that she acts as my GP (primary doctor) as well. read more

Dr Bravo was great, but her office charged me twice for a lab. Be aware for an envelope with a second bill a while after you pay in the office. I can't support this. I won't be back. read more

Claire is the best such a kind patient super smart OBGYN. She was beyond supportive and wonderfully thorough and patient with all of my many many questions during my pregnancy and the actual delivery of our baby! I can highly recommend Claire, she is simply the best! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Bravo. I moved to Los Angeles from Chicago a few years ago and needed to find a doctor for my annual check up. In Chicago I bounced around with different doctors and was unable to find one that I connected with and felt comfortable. Fortunately I found Dr. Bravo on Yelp and have had the best experience with her. She is a great listener, explains in terms that I understand, and makes me feel comfortable. The staff in her office have been nothing but professional and responsive as well. Shortly after seeing Dr. Bravo I became pregnant with my first child. She was amazing through the whole process and delivery. Even my husband comments about how much he loves her. I have found my permanent doctor and when baby #2 comes around Dr. Bravo will definitely be our doctor. read more

I had a terrible experience at this gynecologist office. Not only was the service the worst I've ever experienced, but this completely ruined my day, made me late for work, and also put me in an infuriating mood. I found this gynecologist through my insurance company: Cigna and made an appointment that day. My appointment was for 2 weeks after that call. When I got to the office on time the secretary told me there is nothing in their system saying I have an appointment. However, I said that is outrageous because I wrote down all the details surrounding this appointment AND you guys called me with a confirmation of this appointment and I confirmed it! The secretary just stared at me and hardly apologized for THEIR mistakes. All they said is fill out these forms, take a seat, and the doctor will be with you shortly. So I filled out all the forms and waited and waited and waited. I could not even reschedule because they have hardly any availability so I chose to wait. After they put me in a room 40 minutes went by and still I had not seen the doctor!!! Unbelievable. I have never been treated like this. Absolutely terrible service. After that I left infuriated and I will NEVER come back. The secretary did not even apologize for having me wait 2 HOURS and making me late for work. This place should be shut down. Learn how to run a business... Because that is not how. read more

Dr Bravo is caring, patient and thorough. I always felt like me and my baby were safe under her care. If your looking for an OBGYN I would definitely recommend her. read more

If I could give this a negative rating, it would be the highest negative possible. Let's not even rate her on a Doctor level, let's stick to simplicity and rate her as a human being. She's awful. First prenatal doctor's visit I ever went to, she bothered to take 10 minutes of her time to make us feel complete unimportant, defeated and STOLE what should have been an amazing moment from us. This woman's bedside manner is TERRIBLE. She had the nerve to tell me (a first time mom) that she could only answer TWO questions from me? Huh? I have / had many and she should have took the time to review them with me. I basically wasted my time & energy and left there in TEARS. I truly wish I would have read her review's prior to going and having all the wind taken out of my sails. DO NOT GO TO THIS DOCTOR. read more

This review is for the Century City Office. Horrible. Horrible. Horrible. You are putting yourself in medical danger if you go to this office. They are horrifyingly irresponsible and unreliable. Expect them to cancel your appointments with little to no warning. Expect them to promise they'll call you back later that day and then leave you hanging for a month or longer. Expect them to lie. Expect them to neglect you, forget about you, and disrupt your course of treatment or vaccination even in urgent cases. Don't jeopardize your health like I did. read more

These negative reviews for Dr. Bravo baffle me. My husband and I moved to L.A. mid-way through my first pregnancy. Dr. Bravo was the first OB we saw out here, and we liked her right away. She is thorough, professional, and really knows her stuff. She spent lots of time with us and answered all our questions. I felt completely confident in her ability to handle anything that might arise during labor/delivery. I experienced one minor complication at the beginning of labor and Dr. Bravo was all over it. She is highly respected at Cedars, where I delivered - the nurses there sang her praises. During the actual delivery, she was calm and encouraging, and really gave me the confidence to get through the final hour (which, as those who have been through childbirth know, is the most difficult). She managed the team in the labor/delivery room in a calm and professional manner. She was the first to tell us that we had a daughter (we chose not to find out before the birth), and told us she loved the name we picked. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better experience and are so glad we delivered with Dr. Bravo. I got Dr. Bravo's name through a friend who also delivered with her and had a great experience. Do NOT judge this doctor based on reviews of her front desk staff (which, incidentally, we thought were totally helpful and friendly) or overdramatic assessments of her "bedside manner" (which we thought was great). You will be in great hands if you deliver with Dr. Bravo! read more

I really love me some Dr. Bravo. She really takes her time with you and answers ALL questions you may have. She is thorough, warm and friendly. I never feel uncomfortable talking to her about anything. The rest of the staff is incredibly pleasant too. I'm very happy with Dr. Bravo! read more
