I love Dr. Drake and I love Roxanne and the two of them make such an awesome team. I've seen her…read moresince I was 7 weeks along. I was with Dr. Ramos originally but her office tried to put me on two weeks' worth of bed rest without even seeing me. It was ridiculous! I switched over to Dr. Drake who at the time didn't have much of a presence on review sites, but then I fell in love with her. She's super chill and makes me laugh. She definitely would soothe me in the throes of pain and labor hell. She also tells it like it is, which I like. More than that, I really like how I get to see her every time I go whereas at other doctors' offices I just saw this revolving door of midwives and maybe the doctors themselves. Also, I love Roxanne and her choice of music. Can't wait to have this baby out next month!

I never thought I would rave about my Obgyn but Doctor Drake is fantastic! She was recommended by…read moremy IVF doctor (full disclosure--they're actually married), but I also received several recommendations for Dr Drake from doctors, midwives and nurses. In fact, everyone I interacted with during my pregnancy couldn't say enough good things about her. As a first time mom I appreciated how responsive Dr Drake was. She was knowledgeable but also compassionate and it was easy to feel comfortable with her and ask all my questions. She took time at appointments to go over everything and managed my care well over the course of my pregnancy. When it came to my care she laid out options and presented the pros and cons while being supportive of my choices. I felt she had a good understanding of IVF, which some doctors didn't always understand (like when it came to calculating my due date). I also felt like most importantly my daughter was in good hands, which after the intense journey it took to get pregnant left me more nervous than most patients. My daughter was a complete breech and I credit Dr Drake with my super fast recovery. The nurses were shocked I was a c section and not a vaginal delivery given how quickly I was moving around and how little pain I had. She had me on a non narcotics protocol and I had very little pain and hit all my milestones ahead of schedule. I'm currently 11 week's post delivery and I'm already back to playing hockey! It's so hard to find good obgyns in town taking new patients. Santa Barbara is lucky to have Dr Drake!

Dr. Abell is a fabulous ob/gyn. It's been my experience that the vibe you get from the office staff…read moreis telling. That is true in this case. The office staff takes ownership of my questions/concerns. Gets answers and stays courteous. Dr. Abell advised me to have a procedure, under general anesthesia. As with many things related to female reproductive health my concern were the lab results. Dr. Abell is generous with her time, well informed and shared with me that while the results could be problematic, she'd seen four cases of the thousands she'd performed over a lengthy period (I don't remember, 5 years, 10 years) were positive. That changed my outlook from bracing for the worst to expecting the experience to be unremarkable - which it was. The remarkable bit is how wonderful have been my interactions with every member of the team. I wish every physician shared her approach. I can't say I'm looking forward to my next visit - she is a gynecologist but, I trust I'm in good hands and will be treated well.

Dr. Ramos is truly the best in the game. I've always had a hard time connecting with doctors, but…read moreDr. Ramos shines like no other. Throughout my pregnancy, she made every appointment special by doing an ultrasound every time, which was such a comforting touch. She's empathetic, funny, genuinely excited to see you, and her top priority is always you and your baby's health. During my labor, there was a moment of downtime when she had to step out for an emergency, and the nurses mentioned I might be heading toward a c-section. But when Dr. Ramos came back, she was confident, determined, and fully focused on getting my baby here safely & vaginally--and she delivered in every sense of the word. Postpartum, when I suspected I had mastitis, I called the office, and they got me in that same evening. Dr. Ramos made sure I had what I needed before it turned into something worse. Since moving back to Orange County, I still haven't found a doctor like her. She's one of a kind, and here I am writing a review a year later--but boy, does she deserve it! Jack says hi!

Always the best care from Dr. Ramos and her staff. Thank you for always making me feel comfortable.read more

They are kind, knowledgeable, and supportive, but the front office and administrative side has been consistently frustrating. The administrative staff is disorganized and unprofessional. They frequently mix up appointment times, give conflicting information, and make even simple tasks feel unnecessarily difficult. They don't use email or an online portal to send updates, test results, or appointment confirmations, which makes it almost impossible to keep track of anything. Everything has to be done by phone, and the communication is often curt or dismissive. Another major frustration is that any time I need bloodwork, I have to schedule a completely separate appointment with a third-party lab instead of being able to do it in-office. This makes routine prenatal care far more inconvenient than it needs to be. I really wanted to have a good experience here, especially since the clinical care from the midwives has been positive, but the front-office management has caused so much stress and confusion that I'm choosing to switch practices. I hope they improve their administrative processes and communication in the future.

Dr. Steen and the entire team at Main Street OBGYN were exactly the kind of care team I needed throughout my pregnancy. Mine was a high risk pregnancy, and I was looking for not only excellent medical care but also a personal, supportive team I could trust. They exceeded every expectation. Throughout the entire journey, I consistently felt heard, supported, validated, and respected. Dr. Steen was especially wonderful. She was kind, genuine, patient, and always took the time to listen to my concerns before reassuring me. She respected me as an individual and my decisions while providing the medical advice and guidance I needed. Having a doctor who could balance both was so important to me, especially while navigating such an emotional and intense experience. I truly couldn't have asked for a better team of doctors to have by my side. They made me feel safe, cared for, and confident throughout my pregnancy, and I'll always be grateful for that. A special shoutout to Dr. Hood as well for her kindness and support. Thank you, Dr. Steen and the entire Main Street OBGYN team, for being such an important part of our journey.

I didn't like that experience and actually met Dr. Rashti in the hospital while I was in labor for that pregnancy. I really loved his presence and personality, so when I got pregnant with my second I immediately knew I wanted Dr. Rashti to be my OB. I called his office and was able to get an appointment quickly and on a day and time that worked with my schedule, the appointments were longer and I was actually able to get questions answered, talk about what to expect, talk about our lives, and he really got to know us. We ended up with a C-section and he did such an amazing job. I haven't had any issues with pain at all, and the scar is virtually non-existent. He checked in with us multiple times afterwards to make sure healing was going well. Overall it was a great experience, worth every penny.
