My experience with Dr. Gersh and her staff, has been outstanding. I am thankful for her effort to educate women like me, about their longterm health. They are kind, thoughtful and very helpful. I always appreciate that Dr. Gersh knows, and follows the latest research and analysis, so that she can best serve her clients. I am very grateful that she is in practice. My hope is that there will be more Doctors like Dr. Gersh to help restore women's health, as they get older and face many challenges. It is a pleasure to see her, and learn about my health & well being. Tracy V. read more

Dr Gersh is amazing ! I will say though she cannot resolve the issue in 1 appointment it will take several and you doing your own research. It's a team effort. She does a deep dive into your health whole body. My didn't know she had graves and hashi which is very rare and Dr Gersh ran all.the right test to figure it out. Yes she has a very busy practice and it's not cheap but has a ton of FREE information on her YouTube channel and Instagram. You will learn tons before you even meet her. read more

Do not recommend for my pelvic pain conditions (dyspareunia and vestibuldynia) who I saw January - July of 2024. I recommend urologist Dr. Yih at UCI or OBGYN Dr. Davis at Hoag who take insurance and will save you from excessive prices here. Also recommend Sarton PT (you can see my review for them). Meredith Morisoli for acupuncture has been helpful as well. Dr. Gersh's recommendations included: lidocaine cream, low dose naltrexone, excessive supplements, blood work (19 vials with micronutrient panel), menstrual mapping urine test, estrogen patch and progesterone pills, estrogen cream, and their expensive nutritional reset program. Lidocaine irritated tissues (might be helpful for others) and low dose naltrexone made me depressed when I do not experience depression normally (uncommon side effect). Lab work was expensive and not useful. Progesterone made me extremely tearful and emotionally labile and they recommended I discontinue and continue estrogen and then it stopped my period! (I'm in my 30s and menstruate regularly). Period came back when I discontinued HRT and got extra period to make up for time not menstruating. Subsequent doctors don't support why she put me on HRT as a premenopausal woman. Estrogen cream was the only useful thing I'm continuing just to treat the affected area. Got special testosterone free and s3x hormone binding globulin testosterone test from new doctor and starting combo of testosterone and estrogen cream. Part of my problem is likely from birth control pill messing up my hormones in the past. I share these details in hopes to help others suffering. Didn't sign up for expensive health reset program. Although I have pelvic pain, I have never experienced a pelvic exam so rough in my entire adult life of going to OBGYNs and pelvic floor PTs. Although she respected when I spoke up about this, it is bad that I even had to request this. One would think someone would be more delicate when dealing with someone with chronic pain. Perhaps Dr. Gersh is more helpful for other kinds of issues and this is a complex and under researched area, but some elements were not acceptable to me and I do not recommend. read more

I came to Dr. Gersh after years of being ignored with Kaiser insurance. I have PCOS and I suffer from recurring yeast infections every month. At the first visit I felt hopeful that she was going to address my issues since she kept reassuring me that we would get to the bottom of it. I did the initial blood work she recommended at the consult and brought it to her at the follow up and thought she was going to set out a treatment plan. But she wanted me to do even more additional testing for something I felt was not even related to my current issue ( sleep apnea test) that I just could not afford or even get approved with Kaiser insurance. It also took months to even be seen by her since she got booked out so quickly. Unfortunately I did not get the help I needed and spent a lot of money seeing her. I am still suffering with these infections and looking for another naturopathic doctor. read more

9.15.20 I've read great reviews about Dr. Felice Gersh so I gave her office a call this morning @10:52am. The lady who picked up the phone sounded like she was super busy & asked me for my name & number so I have it to her but she never returned my call back. read more

This doctor is unprofessional and UNEDUCATED. See her yelp reviews from 2019. She lied to her patients. Just like another reviewer had posted, the information I presented to her was completely ignored, it felt like the doctor and staff are too busy to really listen to what's going on with me and help. I to also saw random charges on my credit cards. She lacks attentiveness and is not educated to solve specialty issues. She presented me with the wrong information. My specialist gave me the correct information regarding my health Dr. Gersch knew nothing about the problem, nothing! She is a gynecologist so she has no business giving me "professional advice on oncology, hematology, endocrinology etc!!!!" She has no training in these areas! Don't go hero it will be a complete waste of time and money run!!! I too feel so I lost 15 years of my life. read more

Dr. Gersh is a fantastic MD! She truly takes her time to go through your medical history to try and pinpoint what is going on with your body. For years I've been passed along by MD after MD whereas Dr. Gersh is working to find out the root cause of my hormonal irregularities. I went over 6 months without a menstrual cycle and Dr. Gersh's expertise has regulated my cycle! I can't wait for my follow up appointment! I also want to give a shout out to Stephanie at the front desk for always getting back to me in a timely manner! read more

Anyone who doesn't/can't accept insurance but who charges $595 for an initial consultation is in it for the money, not to help people. This ruins her medical credibility in my eyes. I am very disappointed because I had been hopeful. read more

Dr. Gersh has been my physician since 1986. She's always been there for me, and for that I am very grateful. She was my OB/GYN for years, and I still see her for my well-woman exams. She has now become incredibly knowledgeable in other fields, incorporating integrative medicine into her practice. I see her for all my health issues. She is very easy to talk to and that's very important to me. She is now also my youngest son's physician. The office staff is always courteous, friendly, and professional. I'm sorry. I must update. I am thankful to the practice for all they have done. But after 35 years, I was basically thrown to the wolves when my Tricare insurance had some sort of problem. I understand that a physician may grow tired of insurance debacles. That, I understand. Thirty-five years. Again, I am thankful for all the years that I was taken care of. I don't need a very young person in the practice to tell me about ethical medical practices. I truly do not. At any rate, on to better things. I feel that it was meant to be, and I hope that the above mentioned practice thrives and grows. I am very happy to be back in the care of an internist. It's very important that a physician supports vaccines and even elective surgery. read more

Dr. Gersh is an amazing doctor. She keeps up on research and genuinely gets to the roo to the problem. I love her enthusiasm and care. I have PCOS which is why I travel to see Dr. Gersh. I travel 2 hours to see Dr. Gersh and she is worth every minute! I have been to many, many doctors for my PCOS and Dr. Gersh is one of the only practitioners who listened to me and took an integrative approach! I just love her read more

We appreciate the wise counsel and care of Dr Gersh! We were recommended her by two close friends who are also in her care.

Dr. Gersh is an AMAZING doctor and such a breath of fresh air ! She really takes the time talking to you about what's going on and explaining it in detail unlike most doctors. I'm so happy that i found Dr.Gersh because she sat and listened to me and my concerns, and came up with a plan to help me best. I could tell she really had my best interest in heart and I'd highly recommend! read more

Dr Gersh was recommended by a friend. She is super caring & really listens to my issues, then prescribes care based on medical evidence. I appreciate that she researches to find new & innovative ways to help me. Her office staff is always helpful & friendly. I have tried & continue to use so many of the therapies she has recommended for me as they have helped me with my chronic illness. Integrative medicine is the way to go! Come see her for amazing medical care! read more

The front desk is so nice and Dr.Gersh is extremely educated and a great physician. So happy I found her and this practice.

I went to Dr Gersh for many years. She is a wonderful, caring gynecologist. I stopped going about 3 years ago. The office had gotten too large and the service suffered. The billing was done by an outside group. I had a credit of $200 plus dollars that wasn't automatically refunded. It was difficult for the staff to determine the amount of the credit and using the credit to cover the latest service was harder than it should have been. Also there were more doctors with different specialties joining the practice and the advertising of those services permeated the office. I ultimately switched gynecologists because Dr Gersh stopped accepting any medical insurance. I can't afford to pay out of service rates (typically higher than a person covered by insurance) and not get any reimbursement from my PPO. I miss the old Dr Gersh but now the practice is too large, impersonal and expensive. read more

Dr. Gersh has been a beacon of light in a cave of worry and uncertainty in my life recently. She became a touchstone for me when I was afraid that my D&C results came back with something I didn't want to see: abnormal cells. After being pushed aside for years by a doctor, then being told some devastating news with no clarity by another, I happened to meet Dr. Gersh at a post-conference book signing who gladly gave me a second opinion. Really. She had so much to do where she was - and didn't know me from Eve but she stopped, tuned in, turned on and was completely present for this second opinion in a way I had never seen before. With that second opinion came expertise, frank conversation, and a gentle but deeply grounded assuredness for my future- that I could and will indeed have everything that want in my life. Then when my head stopped spinning, she even went into how my body got here to begin with and what needed to be done in the future to make sure that I never had to hear this kind of news ever again. Thank you Dr Gersh, from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and for being a champion of my health. read more

Dr. Gersh is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about helping her patients, especially through natural means. I had a history of migraines and heart palpitations when I sought her advice (diagnosed with PVC's after wearing a 24 hour monitor) and she put me on supplements that resolved these issues. She also started me on probiotics which have made a HUGE impact on the management of my IBS!!! All the research she does, all the teaching and learning are all for the benefit of her patients. I truly believe she wants to be the best she can be so her patients can be the best they can be!!! I will be forever grateful! read more

I had a wonderful first appointment with Dr. Gersh. She took the time to explain everything to me very clearly. She even went above and beyond to read through some evidence-based peer review articles through my appointment. I feel as though she really listened to all of my concerns. I cannot recommend her enough! read more

Wanted a comprehensive and holistic approach to health. Nailed it! Could not be happier with Dr. Gersh.

I strongly value and deeply appreciate Dr Gersh for many of reasons. She has excellent credentials in both conventional, functional and integrative medicine, and experience to match. Furthermore, she is not condescending (like so many other medical professionals) and she has a genuine interest in understanding what is going on health-wise with her patients and helping them get better. There is a lot of hype in healthcare these days and it is important to look for someone who is not just promoting the latest trend or taking advantage of naive patients. Dr Gersh knows her stuff and her unique background allows her to integrate more conventional medicine with appropriate, well vetted alternative approaches to optimize patient health. I am grateful to have such a well educated, well informed, practical and experienced person as my doctor. At this point, I have known Dr Gersh for several decades and have been a direct beneficiary of her growth from a strictly conventional doctor to one who offers integrated and functional care. In my own case, it was her persistence and insight with regards to my situation that eventually lead to an important diagnosis ( a congenital defect in collagen), along with much better support and management of the condition. It would be great if there were more doctors as approachable, capable and helpful Dr Gersh is. Unfortunately, there aren't, and that makes her that much more valuable. read more

Dr Gersh is an AMAZING Doctor. She has extensive knowledge in many fields and is STILL always learning. I don't know how she does it! You can tell she thrives on understanding the science and loves to help people understand - by teaching. She is tenacious and will always rise to a challenge. The Medical group is well-rounded, integrating western medicine with a holistic approach. It's one-of-a-kind and truly a breath of fresh air to walk into a Doctor's office that has the feel of a Medi-Spa, without the feeling of superficial acknowledgement that sometimes permeates in a setting like this, and have it feel like the people who practice their callings here - really care to provide the tools and help direct you on a path of well-being. She is the best! read more

Gersh implanted pelvic mesh during a hysterectomy even though I was not incontinent. There were Immediate problems post surgery - basically I could not pee - like having a kinked hose. She "removed it" 8 months later and failed to disclose that she left the mesh arms inside me. She never disclosed that she planned and executed cutting out ONLY the center section of mesh. During all the many visits, both pre and post surgery, the only word used was "remove". 13 years of horrible debilitating illnesses followed. I never suspected the illnesses were due to the mesh because Felice said she removed it. Felice Gersh cannot be trusted. She lies to her patients to protect herself. 13 years later this is what was taken out of me - embedded in muscle, twisted backwards, horribly oxidized degraded plastic adhered to bone, adhered to my bladder wall, adhered to my urethra. You've no idea the pain and suffering this woman caused. She should have her license pulled. I know first hand she lied to me and with that lie took 13 years of my life. read more

About a year ago I developed eczema. Dr. Gersh and Dr. Kowata worked tirelessly to help eradicate it. My skin is now completely healed. I can't recommend them enough! read more

Dr Gersh has been an amazing resource of wisdom and care for our family. Thanks for all you do to help our family stay well!

I see both dr. Gersh and dr. Kowata at this office and have different reviews for both. I have PCOS (lean and non insulin resistant) which is why i booked my first appt with Dr. Gersh. I have had a terrible time getting help with this syndrome and don't respond to any typical treatments such as low carb diets or insulin-sensitizing medications. I have a very unique case and no one thus far has been able to pinpoint a root cause. I felt that she did a very thorough analysis of my past and ordered lots of blood tests which gave a lot of valuable information. However, I didn't feel like she really addressed what to do about my test results besides commenting that yes, this was off and yes we will fix that, vaguely giving hope without giving concrete directions. I've been left after multiple appts with knowledge that a lot of things are wrong but still with no personalized treatment plan, making it feel like all of those tests were a waste of money. Ultimately, I spent hundreds of dollars on tests just to be told the same thing every pcos patient is told (low carb diet, exercise, spearmint tea, fasting, antioxidants, etc). I have spent months researching pcos and treatments as well as causes for my specific case of pcos, and most of the information she told me I'd already found previously through Google scholar. I will say that if you have just been diagnosed with a typical pcos case, she has a wealth of information to help you get started. She does really try to address the root cause, and I would recommend her highly over any typical MD since she takes a holistic and integrative approach. I do think my case is different than most, as my pcos seems to come from some mysterious origin and I can't blame her for not having a direct answer. But I was hoping for a little more personalized treatment plan, seeing as she's an integrative doctor. I also notice that every appointment she seems to repeat the same things she said last appt for the first 20 or so minutes, which can be aggravating since you're paying by the minute. Overall, she is a very nice lady with her heart in the right place, but I dont feel that she has specifically helped ME yet. I have hope that perhaps with a few more in depth appts she might have some novel recommendations though. I do plan to see her a few more times, so perhaps then I will get better results. I do think she is highly educated and very in depth, which is why I still have faith she may help me in the future. I also see dr. Kowata, and I really can't recommend her enough. She is so attentive and thoughtful and spends all the extra time in the world to really think about your case and talk through treatments. I see her for SIBO and other gi issues I aquired due to taking spironolactone, and her treatment has made an IMMENSE difference in my well being. I feel like I am heard when I talk to her and you can tell she's contemplating what you say and really trying to figure out the root of your issues. I also occasionally take acupuncture from her, and that has helped too. I would say this office definitely has potential to help, just be careful with tests and costs, as they add up quickly and lots of them aren't necessary. read more

I started going here to see Dr Gersh as I had been diagnosed with PCOD and a few other things and needed a doctor to help guide me in the right directions paying out of pocket because insurance doesn't cover was a pain, but then learning that she charges for visit length really upset me. Nothing she recommended worked and whenever if ask a question, she would just go off about God only knows what and didn't answer anything. She is a very sweet woman, or so I thought up until my last visit. She straight up told me I'd never be able to have children because of PCOD. I'm only 19 and that hurt. Now I've found a new doctor who is amazing and is helping way more than Dr Gersh ever did read more

I am so happy I found Dr. gersh. She is caring and thorough and extremely knowledgeable. After years of frustration with thyroid and hormones and I have finally found a doctor who looks at the whole picture and helped me feel so much better with small tweaks instead of drastic changes and loads of supplements. She listens carefully and is accessible between appointments. It is also not impossible to get an appointment which I love as my levels need to be tested frequently. Her staff is responsive and friendly too. I highly recommend Dr. Gersh! read more

I am a returning patient to Dr. Felice Gersh's new Integrative Health Center in Irvine. Initially, she seemed friendly and concerned about my health status. On my first office visit, the doctor asked me lots of medical questions. I had to fill out a lengthy medical questionnaire. I made three separate office visits in eight weeks time in order for her to treat my hormonal imbalance. What I didn't realize, this doctor was using a clever strategy by charging for excessive office visit time, overbilling my insurance to increase her revenue. I noticed Dr. Gersh was selling multiple vitamins and supplements to her other patients. However, she never offered any nutritional advice to help me lower my bad cholesterol, triglycerides and a elevated blood sugar level. After I received my Medicare billing statements, I was shocked to see there were more charges added to my super bill for a back pain problem which this gynecologist never even treated me for. Her medical biller is very aggressive and trys to get you to pay up front with a credit card. I would run away, not walk to this doctor's overrated gynecology practice. read more

Finally a Dr. who puts her patients first! Dr Gersch is so knowledgeable and I am so relieved to have finally found someone who gets what is happening to me and is as committed as I am to stopping it! read more

I came to Dr. Gersh willing to pay out of pocket for her expertise.Her credentials are impressive and I needed someone I could trust to evaluate and direct my health. Dr Gersh sold me a boatload of supplements based o fears she created. I followed her program to the letter. Three months into her program i began losing my hair. As i dug deep to learn about her supplements I found that she had depleted me of biotin which is necessary for hair growth and she had overlooked a Zinc deficiency. She overlooked these known deficiencies that are harmful but sold me hundreds of $$ of herbs etc. that caused me more problems than I had to begin with. Very sloppy medicine and to think I paid out of pocket for her expertise!!! Stay away. read more

Where do I begin? It's painful just writing this review reliving my terrible experience and sharing what happened to me as a result of seeing this woman. I've been putting it off but I feel if my health has been ruined at least others can be warned. Do not fall prey to the sales woman pitch, the smile or charisma unfortunately behind it is empty. I was given a drug that triggered autoimmune disease, it is a side effect but she never shared that that with me and my life will never be the same again as I'm suffering from the horrific symptoms which I never had before I saw her. She advertises holistic medicine just to get on board with the cash business part of it but is actually not certified in any of those fields if you check with the accrediting institutions. All that's there is the verbiage used and as a result asking for cash. Check with the accrediting holistic institutions anti-aging, functional medicine, holistic medicine and she is not accredited last we checked. Just advertises and smiles. So be careful and don't be a victim and fall prey to it. read more

I have been in the care of Dr. Gersh for about a year. During this time, I have gotten to know her and can confidently say that she is caring, genuine, and extremely committed to research and learning so that she can provide the best options for her patients. She has an incredibly nurturing bedside manner, which is critical for me and calms the nerves I usually have going to the doctor. I feel as though our relationship has evolved and she cares about me not only as a patient, but also as a person. That is much appreciated as I face some challenging issues. She thinks outside the box, which is so needed nowadays with many doctors who stick to the status quo and don't dive deep into health issues. I'm grateful to have found her practice. read more

I recently saw Dr Gersh and I am excited to begin working with her toward wellness. I was looking for an m.d. Because I felt I may need some short term help with prescription medication but wanted to be sure it was an m.d. That looked at the whole person. I feel like Dr Gersh is a great listener which I have found to be rare with doctors in general. She was so personable, kind and is putting together a whole person approach for me that I'm really excited about. I would highly recommend her! read more

Excellent attention. I wasn't rushed at all like in other offices. They provided super detailed information about all the different birth control methods that are out there nowadays and they were very clear on their point of view about each one of them. A little expensive as they are EXCELLENT physicians with extremely amount of knowledge. Being that said you should know that they don't work with insurance companies. If you are a sucker for NATURAL and alternative medicine... SAVE UP and make YOUR health a priority. read more

Dr. Gersh is an amazing medical doctor. I have been to many gynecologists over the years, but she is hands down the most caring one I have found. She exudes warmth, yet she is also very sharp, which makes me rest assuredly in her hands. She's addressing many medical issues that I've taken to other doctors, but none of them had answers like she does. I highly recommend her. Charlotte, her nurse is also one of a kind. She is very friendly and makes you feel at home. She's extremely bright, which unfortunately isn't always the case with nurses. She is also gentle. She drew my blood and did not bruise me. One last note....Karen, the receptionist, is sweet and friendly, too! :) She is also patient with the patients (yes, I know, bad joke.....) While I was there, a rude one kept calling to complain about being on hold, but there was nothing she could do about it. The patient wanted to talk to someone who was on another line. She explained all of this to the patient each time he or she called back. Karen never once seemed frustrated. Good for her! My short fuse would never last with patients like that at Dr. Gersh's office. :) If you make an appt., you won't be sorry! AND, you'll get the answers you are looking for- finally! What a relief! read more

Dr. Gersh is passionate about helping her patients to get well! She's constantly studying and attending conferences to bring her patients the best that integrative and functional medicine have to offer. read more

Felice Gersh lies to her patients and the result is 15 years of being kept in the dark, having trusted her, and I lost the best 15 years of my life because I didn't know she lies to my face. Protecting her own butt at the expense of her patient has robbed me of 15 years of my life. 15 YEARS of illness after illness having no idea she lied to me when she said she REMOVED the pelvic mesh, not just a section of it but the mesh in it's entirety. She ruined my life single handed with her lies. You have no idea the suffering for 15 years, only to discover Gersh knowingly left most of the mesh in me. I will not rest until the world knows what a horrible person she is. She lied through her teeth knowing full well she did not have the skills to get it out and making me wait 6 months to attempt to remove it knowing it would only be harder over time to remove. Gersh never once said anything about the mesh attaching and entertaining with my body or that it plastic that oxidizes travels adhering to bone urethra bladder nerves traveling into my leg. I am so completely utterly violated by her unethical treatment of me her patient. Do not go to Felice Gersh. She is in it for the money and her own selfish profits at the expense of the people she was was supposed to help. Gersh cannot he trusted!!!! Run!!! read more

Dr Gersh has been my primary physician for 31 years. I have absolute faith in her interest in my physical, emotional, and mental well being. She is imminently patient with me and shows care, compassion, and insight each time I see her. She is also constantly involved with expanding her knowledge base about conventional and alternative treatments. So glad she has an open mind and thinks outside the box! She knows that there is absolutely a connection between our mental, emotional, and circumstantial state of being as it relates to our physical health and well being. She also surrounds herself in her practice with top notch specialists to further expand the service to her patients. I highly recommend Dr Gersh and her group to anyone seeking knowledgeable and compassionate care!!!! read more

Vicki is gone and so is Dr. Martin. This practice has gone down hill drastically. Dr. Gersh pushes supplements and unnecessary testing. She ignored my female problems to talk about trends in medicine and thus I have had to find a new gynecologist. This practice does not accept insurance. They will send in the paperwork, but you have to pay your bill in full at each visit. They make it very difficult to get your records as well. The practice offers Saturday morning appointments because it is hurting for patients. I am very disappointed in the treatment that I have received especially considering the number of appointments and money I spent there this past year. read more

Dr. Gersh is a money minded physician who tries to upsell you on hormone creams and vitamins verses her ability to provide delivery of quality patient care. I've received letters from her staff that she won't longer accept Medicare reimbursement. However, she will continue to be your medical provider to you for additional costs. I had left her Irvine office due to the fact that she was upcoding for an unrelated diagnosis and also double-billing my insurance carrier. Dr. Gersh recommended and prescribed me a compounded bi-estrogen which I had developed a terrible reaction to it. My estradiol level went sky high through the roof which made me quite ill. She had requested expensive lab work on me that was done exclusively at her office. Some of these tests were invalid because the labs were not drawn fasting in the a.m. I had needed these labs to be repeated again. As being a patient consumer, need to think twice and go some where else to obtain reasonable gynecogy care for much less. Overall, this was a bad outcome and costly experience for me. I do not have any level of trust in the care of this physician. read more
