This OB/GYN is not well equipped to handle the demand. When I scheduled my first appointment for my recent pregnancy i waited about 3 weeks for the next available one. On appointment day expect to wait 2 hours or more after being checked in. No one can give you a clear reason why the wait time is long. There are fliers posted acknowledging the wait and requesting your patience. But two hours or more? Even before COVID precautions the wait time was ridiculous. Once I'm in the exam room Dr. Myers and her attending nurse are very apologetic for the wait and thank you for your patience. Dr. Myers is kind, thorough and willing to talk about any test results, questions or concerns. She does take her time with her patients. I would recommend this office for Dr. Myers. Otherwise, if you value your time, want efficienct an medical/office staff it would be best to choose another office. read more

Ive been trying to set up an appointment for a months been promised they would call back but they never do. I would call every week to ask what the status is but no one can give me an answer. I get ask the same questions pertaining to pregnancy again and again and provided my insurance info again and again: Everyone that answers the phone is just oblivious of the process. Save yourself some time and never go to this place. I bet ill give birth before they actually are able to schedule me. read more

If you have any other option, take it. I don't mind Dr. Meyers, who've I've been seeing since the beginning of my pregnancy, but I do mind the 2+ hour (at least) wait times, the constant overbooking, the lack of response when you call, etc. Lastly, I have never seen the waiting area being cleaned/sanitized even though it's a revolving door of patients and is always packed. If you're looking to have labs done at Foundation Laboratory, I highly recommend going to the location down the street (located at 1331 W Ave. J). The people are nicer, the wait times are shorter, and it seems much more sanitary overall. If you have literally NO other option: bring food + water, headphones, and plenty of hand sanitizer. read more

First of all SH** place . Equipment was dirty as hell and the staff is a joke I feel sorry for the girls that feel so miserable working there that they have to take it out on patients. They have you waiting hours on end. I was waiting and they completely skipped me and took in a girl that came in after me that was waiting about 15-20min while I was there for over 40min!!! I confronted them about it and they easily caught an attitude with me saying "we didn't skip you" after I pointed out that the girl that came in after me was seen first after I was there for over 40min they gave me a sh** "shut up" apology and made me wait another 15min to be seen. It took me 2 years to get an appointment with them because they kept rescheduling and pushing back my appointments. I was already nervous as it was my first time seeing an obgyn the dr examined and whole time he was smiling and laughing trying to explain whatever the hell it was that he was trying to explain JUST for them to send me home and tell me they'll call me to let me know the results then out of nowhere he's not working in the office anymore so I have to find a new obgyn??? They never even called me for the results nor did they call me to inform me he won't be in office anymore they just sent me a letter like 2 damn months later letting me know he's not working there anymore. This place is a damn near circus . What A JOKE. Save yourself the time and money on gas. read more

I wad referred to them with possible ovarian cancer, I waited 3 weeks and I did not hear from them, a the nurse to me they have guy who look through the paperwork to see who they will & will not see & this guy connect with them once a month, WOW. were looking at possible C word, are you kidding me, you could mor have picked up the phone and told me this, BETTER YET YOU COULD HAVE TOLD ME THIS WHEN I WASTED MY TIME FILLING OUT THE PAPERWORK, WOOOOW read more

I am updating my former review. Sometimes you do have to wait alittle longer than expected. But once you are seen the nurses, (especially one in particular whom I always forget to get her name) the ultrasound tech and especially my doctor Dr. Meyer are very kind and attentive. When I leave I have a peace of mind knowing that my visit was thorough. Like I said only thing though is some visits you are waiting to be called wondering if they forgot you but they do have lots of patients and possibly overbook. read more

This place is the worst obgyn . They had me waiting for 4 hours just to get seen for 1 min . My appt was at 9:00 i was seen at 1:51 pm . Please if you're pregnant and you care about your health and you're babys health . DO NOT GO THEIR! read more

There isn't a 0 star option. This facility was not only over booked, but absolutely filthy. The first appointment landed a used and not yet cleaned room after waiting 3 hours. Dirty instruments everywhere. Second apt, again 3 hours of waiting, the file they had was incomplete, didn't have the ultrasound, didn't know why I was there. The room was filthy. Instruments aren't bagged, just placed in a dirty basket. They left the door open during the exam and invited random staff into the room. Calling the health department. read more

See all

Dr. Farid's practice WaS once decent, he delivered my first 2 kids.... And in 2013 Dr.warren from his practice delivered my 3rd child, but like all reviews here had a very bad experience! Staff are high school grads, no experience no respect or sympathy. They are not mothers so they don't know s*** I went to this office for my 3rd pregnancy thinking it would be ok since my last pregnancy experience in 2007 was ok. But little was I WRONG! the wait is wayyyyy unacceptable! It's extremely hot and stuffy in there.. turn on ac you get enough money from alllll Ur patients insurance. It's filthy of dirt ! Hire people to clean ..they leave it up to their staff wich I remind you they are 18yr olds that don't even know how to clean their own a**. DR. FARID was never there, not once did I see him .. Now I am pregnant again ... I would NEVER COME HERE AGAIN ..EVEN IF THEY PAID ME! read more

They're GREAT! The. doctors, nurse practitioners, the medical staff are all sweet and kind and just awesome! They give their full attention to you and care!! They spend time with you, see if you have any questions and they make sure all of your complaints and concerns are addressed and explained! I have been coming here for YEARS... and it has always been a pleasureful and pleasant visit! Thank you SAMY F. Farid M.D, Medical Group and staff, you All ROCK! read more

Staff is ok, they just do their job you do wait for more than hour to be in a room. Ghetto clients to just be prepared lol

Dr Rodney Francis from Dr. Farid's office was supposed to replace an IUD in me. Instead he added a second one without taking out the first one. I found out months after it happened by having xrays done at my Chiropractor's office. I was flabbergasted. When I took Dr. Francis a copy of the xray he looked at me and shrugged his shoulders and said it happens sometimes like it was no big deal. I will never let any Doctor from this office ever touch me again. read more

I feel for all the new and former mamas that come to this office. This office and the manager that runs it are all very unprofessional and rude to the moms that come here for care. I have personally witnessed multiple people tell the front office how inconsiderate they are to patient calls and in office care. They disregarded my needs as a new mom and did whatever they wanted even when I had requested specifics. They will leave you on hold for over 20 minutes and then hang up on you. This has happened multiple times to me personally. I even addressed the issues with the office manager and she didn't take responsibility for how her team operates, instead she hung up on me as well. They do the bare minimum to ensure the practice doesn't get shut down but eventually there will be enough complaints that they will get shut down. STEER CLEAR of this practice if you can. No new mom deserves to feel like she's not being heard or cared for properly ESPECIALLY if it's her first child. This office is an example of people who don't actually appreciate the job they do and the moms they help but are only really in it for the money that's made. They would not be up and running if it wasn't for the moms that have no choice but to be seen at their facility. Truly praying no mom dies while in their care because of the lack of care. read more

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do yourself a favor and avoid this Dr's office at any cost. It doesn't even deserve a one star! I had an appointment in June but two days before my appointment they called and said that they had to reschedule me. So guess what? I had to schedule an appointment for July. This made my appointment two months out. They have several doctors in that office but the one that owns it is Dr. Farid, he has nothing but bad reviews. Anyone that I ask about him that has seen him always has something negative to say about him. I was afraid to go there but figured if I could see one of the other doctors than I would be Ok. The day of my appointment. I walk into a waiting room that was spilling out with patients and pregnant woman. I waited for an hour and went up to the counter to ask how much longer it will take. She wouldn't go back or call anyone to check. She was lazy and didn't care. She said that it will be a few minutes. I found out that this is the line they give everyone. One hour later (after two hours of waiting) I went up to the counter to find out how much longer I will be waiting and the Dr. Farid's wife that works at the front dest gives me the same line that it will be a few minutes. I explained that I had kids to pick up and couldn't wait much longer! I waited another 30 minutes and went back up again. She just avoided my and continued on with her personal conversation totally ignoring me. I stepped outside to contact my referring office and asked them to refer me elsewhere that I was not going to sit there and wait all day. I walked in and by now I had been there for about 3 hours. She lies to me and says that I was next. This is another lie they tell customers. I spoke to another person that walked out just like I had and they told her the same lie. I explained to Dr. Farid's wife that they have people overbooked and there is no wifi, no magazines and no television to occupy your time as you are waiting. I told her that waiting this long was not acceptable. She asked if I would like to reschedule my appointment? I said NO! I asked myself is this woman crazy? She does not address all their shortcomings and all the time that I sat there waiting. She didn't care. She was just trying to bring me back in so she can score my insurance money. Two days later I get a message by one of her assistants that she needs me to call his wife back to make an appointment. I called back and explained that I will not be back, never be back! Today 9-24-14 I get a message back from another one of their assistant Debbie. She was calling to make an appointment for me. These people never stop. PLEASE KNOW THAT THEY OVERBOOK SO THAT THEY CAN RAKE IN THE INSURANCE MONEY. THAT PLACE IS A GOLD MINE FOR THAT. THIS IS THEIR GOAL. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU, YOUR TIME OR YOUR CONCERNS. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY NOTHING BUT THE MONEY. THEIR POCKET BOOK IS WHAT MATTERS. THEY ARE RUDE AND INCONSIDERATE WITH YOUR TIME BECAUSE YOU DO NOT MATTER, YOU ARE JUST THERE TO BRING IN THE MONEY. IF THEY CARED THEY WOULD HAVE MAGAZINES FOR YOU TO READ, TELEVISION FOR YOU TO WATCH, WIFI FOR YOU TO USE. THERE WAS AT LEAST 60 MEN AND WOMEN IN WAITING ROOM AND THEY HAD NOTHING. I ASK YOU IF YOU THINK THAT WAITING FOR A DOCTOR FOR 3 HOURS IS REASONABLE? Don't waste your time and aggravate your self. Read all the negative reviews. We have dealt with it and are placing reviews to warn others. Don't waste your time on someone that doesn't care about their patients. read more

My experience here was cool in when I had my daughter in 2013. Only issue I had then was Dr Rodney Francis he had no empathy no charisma and he made the visits miserable after while. He never checked on me during the Cesarean surgery that I was having. Now in 2017 I decide to come back mainly because I didn't feel like committing to the valley or LA to see a Dr, I ended up having to settle. So now I'm upset more than ever, because they moved my date to today and they changed my doctor without letting me know. Which meant I had to sit in the lobby more than an hour before being prepped for surgery. I'm livid! read more

I wish I didn't have to put a star, they don't even deserve one. If you have a PPO insurance policy, do yourself a favor and do not go here. The front and back office run some sort of scam and steal your money. They claim to verify your insurance but they don't. Here's my story: by the time I started going to this doctors office my annual deductible and co insurance was already paid for the year, so technically I should of had to pay anything. When I was told I had to pay a $40 co pay every visit and asked I was told by the office manager that it was what my insurance company is showing I owe. So I paid $40 every visit from Aug 2021 to Dec 2021. Jan 2022 came along and surprisingly, in order to be seen, I had to pay my annual deductible In full, which was $1500. I was having concerns in my pregnancy so I had to see the dr. The office manager said that they bill the insurance company as a maternity global billing so at the end of the pregnancy if there is any money owed back to me then I will get a refund. Well, they never reported to the insurance company that I paid the deductible so all other medical bills I am having to pay because I technically haven't met my annual deductible. On top of that they billed my insurance company after my child was born and was paid in full for their services and I have yet to receive my refund from my deductible that was paid in Jan. Called the office and no manager will call me back. So there is some insurance fraud going on with this office manager and I am going through sources to get an investigation going. Please save yourself the hassle. This office caused so much more stress on me during my pregnancy than what should of been. Dr. Meyers is awesome, but the office and management needs to be reconstructed because it's terrible. read more

This place is extremely unprofessional. The staff is rude and condescending. Simple referrals are delayed and do not happen in a timely manner. My wife was transferred to this office after I was transferred within my work from out of the area. My wife was high risk with complications and at week 38 was finally referred to a specialist after the doctor made a call personally to another office. I dropped off FMLA paperwork to enable myself to take time off from work to care for my wife following an emergency C - section and was told it would be 5-7 business days. This is unacceptable. My physician would regularly complete this same paperwork and hand it to me during the same visit. I spoke with a supervisor and she assured me that it would be expedited. I strongly recommend finding another office with similar services. This practice thrives on those that do not have insurance that allow alternative options. I should also mention that this place is VERY dirty in the waiting room and in the rooms. read more

Farid F Samy, MD - This photo reveals unsanitary equipment. This is an ultrasound machine. Nasty! - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Lancaster, California

I've never had to wait almost 2 hours after my scheduled appointment to be seen! The waiting room is filthy with stained chairs & trash on the seats as well as the floors. The patients waiting in the waiting room are always loud. Blasting music, watching videos, or talking loudly on their phones. The staff seems to careless whether they get their patients out of here in a professional & timely matter. I am absolutely switching to another doctor. read more

This office is totally filthy! I wouldn't refer my worst enemy to this office for anything. They totally overbook and a 3+ hour wait is a common occurrence. I had to see one of the associates, a Pedro Cepeda, MD. What a phony he is. My husband refused to let me see this physician without him. He wasn't to be trusted. Plus, he refuses to exam his patients, he is just plain rude. read more

This place has extra chromosome monkeys working in the front office. The nurses there never did their work when it came to them working on my moms file. They never updated when my mom had appointments nor did they reserve her a spot to get her C-section done at exactly 38 weeks because mind you my mother is pregnant with twins and is high risk. This is place disgust me because they are a bunch off lazy workers there. Once they also left my mom hooked up to the non stress machine for over an hour when the nurse told her she would be back in a few and that lady ended up going home. PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE FOR YOUR PRENATAL CARE! They do not know what they are doing. Its sad that a front desk personal can't do what they are suppose to and make the whole place look like junk. Once again I do not recommend this place unless you like to be forgotten and not have set appointments read more

I would rate 0 if I could. I was waiting to be seen for 2 hours. At that time they sat me in a room where I waited another hour. Then when the Dr came in they tried to over charge me $200 for birth control. I called my insurance and insurance told me, by them doing that they are breaking their contract. I will NEVER come here again! read more

Had a visit on 12/17/13. Was NOT told over the phone that they only accept cash or check for co-pay. Get there, try to pay co-pay with credit card, told I need to go to an ATM to get cash. They offer to let me do that after my appointment. In the appointment, the female doctor is curt and seems disgusted by me. Cursory breast exam, cursory vaginal exam, no rectal exam. I explain that I have a lump near my rectal area I'd like checked. She glances down at me, says it looks normal and leaves. Never received a call regarding the results of my pap smear. I leave upset and disgusted. I go to an ATM, get cash for the $30 co-pay. ATMs only dispense $20s so I come back with $40 cash. The receptionist seems disgusted that I'm interrupting her chatting time and says they don't make change. She says I can "carry the balance to my next visit" and I tell her that I'm definitely never coming back. She seems put out, tells me to sit in the waiting room (which I do for the next 10 minutes) while she tracks down change. Gyno visits are somewhat uncomfortable to begin with, but I left feeling like less than a human being. Would never recommend this place to anyone. read more

Dr. FARID walked in the room and told me my babies are dead just like that, he is going to hell. I was only 17 it has been 11 years and I'm still traumatized . I worry so much about hearing those words again. read more

This was my doctor many years ago and left for a reason. First of all he was a great doctor when I had him I never had any complains about that but the wait in the waiting room is horrible!!! The last time I was there I left without seeing him or any other doctor. I waited for over 2 hours never had my name being called. I remembered there was over 10 people ahead of me. I left and never came back to this place ever again. Waiting room was literally jammed packed with people you couldn't sit down. Who ever makes appointments for this office sucks. He hasn't been my doctor in years and I'm glad I don't have to wait hours just for a 2 minute visit. I do not recommend this place at all. read more

I started going to Dr. Farid's Office November of 2013 for treatments of Artificial Insemination. I wasn't sure what to expect at first and just thought I'd give it a chance, but holy NO!!!!! I've never dealt with a more unprofessional staff in my entire life! The girls that run the front office are so rude and disorganized. Its very sad, because I actually loved my Dr. there, but i just can't do it anymore! They are very unhelpful when you call in for anything and you will get nowhere. They always lost my paper work and prices for my appointments were always changing. It just seemed a little off. The last thing you should be doing in a situation where your trying to get pregnant or are currently pregnant is ALWAYS stressing out about stuff like this. Its not worth it, Go and have a peaceful pregnancy somewhere else!!!! read more

The only reason I'm okay with rating a 1 is because the Doctor was good ... First of all the wait time is beyond terrible. The front receptionist I spoke with asked me how much my OWN deductible was. I answered with what I assumed I would have to pay that day and she said "OK so can I collect that"? I had to tell her No and make her check my insurance! Shouldn't they be verifying insurance before anyone's appt? The medical asst didn't even seem very happy to be at work either. I would not refer this place to ANYONE !! read more

I've never had a problem with waiting to get seen! I love how friendly they are as soon as you walk in the door. The nurses are so nice too.

They have no respect for your time. Can care less how long you have to wait. Appointment was at 11:30, at 12:30 asked why the long wait. Was told the doctor wasn't even here yet, and he was on his way. At 1:00 asked if it would be much longer. Was then put in a room. I asked the nurse if the doctor was in yet and she said no that he was on his way. It is now 1:30 and still no one has came into the room to provide an update. I can't even believe a place could be so unprofessional. All I can say is wow. read more

This place has long waits and has no sense of urgency to patients. They never answer their phones, and to get a call back forget it. Please avoid this place and find yourself another doctors office to have a pleasant OB experience. read more

It's just bad here. Unorganized & not helpful. That was was back in 2012-2014 seems to me like it has gotten worst.

DO NOT GO TO THIS OFFICE!! Dr. Farid was my OB/GYN over 10 years ago. I was NOT impressed with anything regarding this office. I have never heard ANYTHING positive about him! 1) The office regularly overbooked & had a tiny waiting room. 2) I had to have a tumor removed. He gutted me like a fish (I've had 3 abdominal surgeries since & have not experienced such pain since). 3) He moved my surgery up a day & gave me less than 12 hours notice. I had many work related tasks that had to be finished that were affected by his office's poor planning & lack of proper notice. They had no consideration for my time. 4) The day of the surgery he a) gave the wrong info to the hospital & they almost removed the wrong ovary, b) was asleep at the time of the surgery & the nurse had to call & wake him up so my surgery started an hour late while I was laying in the hallway, c) the hospital staff spoke poorly about him until they realized I could hear them, d) he told my family that I should of had a full hysterectomy which was WAY TO EVASIVE and then e) he told my boyfriend to get me pregnant ASAP. 5) Dr. Farid left me in the middle of a procedure with all the equipment inside me for over 45 minutes! I couldn't move for fear that I would damage my body & when I yelled for help no one came. read more

The wait time is horrible!! Everyone is there at least 2 hrs. I was rescheduled for my appt at least 3 times. My original appointment was in February I didn't get seen until May. And when I finally got to My appt they made me wait an hour in the lobby to call me up and tell me they don't take my insurance. The office is so unorganized and unprofessional they have files stacked across the front desk. I talked to the office manager she was the person who schedule me and ran my insurance the first time so it goes to show you they don't know anything!! This has been the worst experience I have ever had! I would highly recommend finding another office read more

I was treated with nothing but respect and kindness from Dr Farids office. I saw him recently and he treated me amazing and the office was clean and I was seen quickly even tho they had to fit me in. I am completely happy with the treatment and care I have received here and will continue to come back read more

This is a county building. If you have an app plan to wait 4 hours if not plan to wait 9. Full of people, receptionist even are overwhelmed. I walked out and changed my PCP. I don't pay $600 to sit in a county office this is the exact reason I got off medical. Find someplace else read more

I was referred to this office through my assigned PCP for an annual exam. First, the wait was over 2 hours past my appointment time. Then, I had to call the office 3+ times just to request the results and never got calls back from the office. I will never return to this location. read more

Dried boogers smeared on the wall. Trash littered throughout the waiting room and guaranteed minimum 2 hr wait PAST your appointment. Extremely rude and incompetent staff. If you have a choice go somewhere else. Their phone lines dont even work. If you are able to get through they immediately place you on hold, just to hang up on you. Their excuse for everything is that they have a lot of patients to see. Go see another medical office! read more

This is freaking ridiculous. My appointment was at 10:30 . It is now 1:15 and I still have not seen the dr. I was called to a room probably to shut me up because I keep asking what is taking so long. Now I'm waiting in this room naked .. which has been 20 mins. This office makes this beautiful experience, horrible! With my first son down in the San Fernando valley I literally only waited no more then 20 mins.. I wouldn't give this office 1 star .. 0 stars or negative stars is what this office deserves. read more

I absolutely LOVE Doctor Farid! I couldn't ask for a better doctor/Gynecologist. Thank God and thank you Doctor Farid for the utmost care and attention. The office staff is extremely pleasant, courteous, professional and assists with my needs in a timely manner! This is extremely needed when it comes to my unborn baby and regular check ups. I have too specifically send love and appreciation to the office manager Violet, she takes care of anything and everything needed to make sure I have the proper care, prescriptions and paperwork necessary. She is a large help to my 5 star rating. Violet has AMAZING customer service! Without Doctor Farid and his staff I wouldn't have had such a healthy pregnancy. Thank you a million times for the utmost attention and care! My heart is cushioned by the love and care from Doctor Farid's office! I couldn't imagine my pregnancy without them. All my love . I appreciate you all! Thank you, thank you, thank you! read more

Do I really have to give the office a Star ? I have not dealt with un professional staff as this office. I called because I get a referral from Dr. Hunt that a pap smear is needed. The letter says to call Them, give them the info, I have waited 2 weeks. The letter states I AM APPROVED for the pap smear. Just make appointment. The approval is only good until sept 29, 2018. The staff tells me, I can not make appointment because they don't have any openings until Nov 2018. Today is June 1 st. I really have to wait 6 months for a appointment Oh, I have to start the process all over, since my Approval Expires on Sept 29. I had to call five or six times before anyone even answered the phone. It was 3 30 pm. Not Lunch time....It took me another 8 or 9 minutes for staff to tell me they do not have me in their system. WWHAT, I HAVE THE LETTER OF APPROVAL IN FRONT OF ME..FINALLY, AFTER ANOTHER FIVE MINUTES, SHE SAYS, WHAT IS YOUR SOCIAL SE NUMBER. Oh I got it that way she says. If she could use my social 15 minutes ago, why didn't she ask me for it then. I got a feeling I was bothering her. I said to her, NO THANK YOU , I will go somewhere else. I see, this place has bad, VERY BAD, since 2014...... read more

They had me do a switch with my insurance because supposedly my insurance is not good enough with authorizations. I felt like i was pressured so I made the switch at the moment which I now regret because its giving me so many issues ,I went in today and they told me that I was not showing active with blueshield so violet wanted me to waste my minutes and go back on my phone to let them know to update me on their system! I was really upset ,,, why do they have us switch if there's going to be issues. That is horrible!! And worst of all I barely found out my primary doctor was changed So I made a complaint today.sounds more like fraud read more
