*WARNING! REVIEW CONTAINS SENSITIVE AND TRIGGERING TERMINOLOGY/SUBJECTS*…read more I have never been shy of sharing my journey with Stage 4 Endometriosis and cancerous ovarian cysts. I was diagnosed at 16 with this horrific illness and still suffer into my 40s. It is one of the worst conditions imaginable and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemies but being that 1 in 10 women suffer in the US alone... I am not alone in this hellscape that has no cure or treatment. Despite being in perimenopause; my cysts are still out of control and I recently had a two-pronged crazy emergency: 1) I had so many large cysts that they were a danger to me and needed to be vacated 2) the cysts made my body think it was pregnant and created a sac! I basically needed an emergency procedure in the vein of a surgical abortion so that it be would less evasive than cutting me open like a frog in a high school biology class. I have Medi-Cal public health insurance and my gynecologist said to go through Family Planning Associates. I have seen my Medi-Cal health plan boast about Family Planning Associates but I never thought twice about it because I assumed it solely services for expectant mothers. What is FPA, ACTUALLY? FPA is a system of private clinics founded in 1969 (several locations in LA and Orange counties) that provide gynecological services, STD testing, pap smear testing, cancer testing, birth control, the distribution of condoms, the expectant mother services I assumed and... the ever so controversial: abortions. Basically, Family Planning Associates is like Planned Parenthood's cooler, rich cousin as it is not publicly funded but instead a privately-owned medical group but luckily DO accept public insurance in addition to private insurance. Plus, they have AMAZING Yelp reviews at every location, online, etc; so, I was feeling good about my gyno's suggestion. I initially called FPA in Glendale and explained my situation and that I basically need a surgerical abortion for my endo. The female (it seems all locations are teamed with an all-female staff: woo hoo!) was so very kind, patient and said that their location doesn't provide that service but she can make me an appointment through the computer reservation system for another location versus making me have to make an additional call. I was quite relieved with this being I was already anxious and made an appointment for the Mission Hills location. Amazingly, they had openings the very next day (each location only does these procedures one day a week) but I opted for the next week. While waiting for my appointment, FPA sends you texts to fill out online paperwork in their portal to speed up the process upon arrival and offers online supplements to prepare you and answer any questions beforehand helping to ease any confusion. They also send reminder texts and are with you every step of the way. The Mission Hills location of FPA is located in lovely building that almost reminds of an apartment building or hotel and isn't 'shady' in the least. Also, a bonus: no protestors outside which I honestly was expecting and I was ready to give THEM a lesson on endometriosis and the importance of saving women's lives. The office opens to spacious lobby with natural light, artwork and a large television and has a calming presence which is important in such a stressor-setting. Check-in was easy and the female staff at FPA Mission Hills were also super kind and courteous. I will complain about the fact that the cellphone internet service signal is awful at FPA. Even the employees complained but that is often the case at medical facilities. I won't get into details of the procedure as Yelp isn't the place for that but I will say that I was in great hands. I was worried that FPA would be ill-prepared for my endo and ovarian cysts with little experience; but all of the staff seemed confident and the doctor was amazing being educated and professional but also with a friendly, disarming bedside manner. I had slight complications when I woke up from my anesthesia and they took care of it immediately. After two weeks; I returned to FPA Mission Hills for my recovery checkup and I was met with the same kind service from staff who answered all my questions with expertise and even some humor and assured me that if I have ANY issues moving forward; to call them without any hesitation. Luckily, they said I was healing perfectly which is actually shocking for my 5x autoimmune body. One of my favorite parts of FPA is that they have a 24-hour nurse on hand to call with any issues or questions and they kindly text you after the procedure reaching out with the lovely intent of asking if you are healing well. FPA definitely makes you feel secure in your recovery. FPA is amazing and absolutely recommended to the fullest extent for all your gyno needs with private or Medi-Cal insurance. You are in good hands with FPA!

She gets to the heart of what it is to be a woman and Mom. I honestly love her. She is empowering, strong and has an amazingly quit wit. I am grateful for every interaction in the past 15 years. She handles every situation with brilliant intelligence, grace and compassion. Her care and knowledge post menopause was better than any website. I've learned so much from her over the years.

Dr. Wright is by the best doctor I've ever had. Truly incredible. She is not only brilliant, but…read morekind and funny. She really cares for her patients. I had a tough pregnancy and she was there for me every step of the way. My labor was extremely long but she did not force or even consider a C-section. After over 2 days she decided on a method that allowed me to have a successful vaginal birth! Thanks to Dr. Wright I am not recovering from a major surgery. I would have given up if it weren't for her! She truly had my best interest in mind! Even during my challenges in post-partum, she's continued to help me through it. She is truly an ANGEL, and answer to my prayers! Hands down she is not only the best OB\GYN you can find, but the best physician around. I would not hesitate to choose her as my doctor!

My baby was breech, and Dr. Yasharpour made me feel safe and well taken care of throughout the whole process. I've now been able to experience both types of deliveries with Dr. Yasharpour, and both were beautiful experiences. Even after the delivery, I visited his clinic to make sure everything was healing well with my incision. He always listened to my concerns and helped me with anything I needed. He truly takes the time to listen and asks how he can help, which means a lot as a patient. He will always hold a special place in my heart for delivering both of my baby boys. I definitely plan on going back to him for my next (and final) baby. It has always been a great experience with him.

I recently came back here for a check up due to my health concerns now that I am in my late 30s. I…read morehave been dealing with changes for the past two years. I requested for a blood work to see what's going on with my health. I got my blood drawn at the office and told to wait for 2 weeks for a tele-health phone appointment for the results. Last Friday I was scheduled at 12pm for that call. The day went by and I received no call from the PA or doctor... I called this Monday and was told to make another appointment because the PA or doctor forgot to call me back. I got scheduled for today's appointment at 10:40am.. few hours pass by no call. So I called the office and the front desk lady said the PA will give me a call by 4:45pm or 5pm. Again the time got changed around. After 5pm I still have not received any call. At this point I am struggling to just find some answers and figure out what's going on with my health. The management there is so unprofessional. No one seems to care about patients health. I feel bad for the pregnant women who go to this clinic now because I've seen how long of a wait they all have to wait as well to be seen at the office. Service was never this bad before. So much has changed. I have been a patient here for over 15 years and Dr. Yashapour has taken great care of me and all 3 of my child births in the past. I am a very understanding person but in all honesty I have never seen a medical office so careless and unprofessional until now.

It was a simple problem that has caused immense shame in my life that Dr. Long addressed compassionately from our very first visit, and continued to care for me as her patient with the same amount of genuine compassion and warmth. She follows through, she is personable, she is enthusiastic, she is everything you would want in a gyno (especially as a young Queer woman). Women deserve doctors like Dr. Long, and nothing less. I am forever thankful to have found a doctor that normalizes women's bodies and advocates for her patients. Dr. long, youre a real one. Also, shoutout to the staff up front and in the back.

Dr. Long was opposite of him and really glad to have found a female obgyn who is compassionate and walked me through my pregnancy/recent miscarriage. I explained to her the rollercoaster I went through after being told by my other obgyn that I miscarried 2 weeks ago and then went to ER last night because I was bleeding and was told I was still pregnant and everything was ok/good. The ER doctor spoke with my male obgyn and he said for me to come back in 2 weeks. She apologized that I had to go through such an awful experience and gave me a hug. I feel at peace now that I know I've found Dr. Long who will be the one who will help me with my next pregnancy. The office staff and nurses where awesome and saw me on time.
