Violet W.

GYN Oncology Institute saved my life. Literally. Last December of 2014, I had my routine pap smear and was notified by my gynecologist at the beginning of January 2015 that I had a large cyst and it needed to be removed by a specialist immediately as I was already feeling uncomfortable to even perform day to day activities. My gynecologist referred me to Dr. Alan Schlaerth, who is a well-known and respected GYN oncologist in the San Gabriel Valley. Consultation: I called GYN Oncology the day my gynecologist told me to schedule a consultation with Dr. Schlaerth. The receptionist I had spoken to was able to squeeze me in the NEXT day at 8:00 a.m. to see Dr. Schlaerth, During the consultation, Dr. Schlaerth answered all the questions my mother and I had about my condition and the procedure. I felt safe and comforted knowing that he would help me. Facility: State of the art, pristine clean facility--my dad commented that all the machines are state of the art and it was one of the nicest rooms he's ever been in. They have two large procedure rooms, an exam room, a private family consultation room and a large, family-centered waiting room. They also have their own parking lot with plenty of parking spaces, the institute is located on the south side of the Methodist Hospital campus, if you drive down north of Huntington Drive, there is an entrance to their parking lot. Procedure: Since I was knocked out for the procedure, my parents told me that Dr. Schlaerth was professional and helpful when he delivered the news of the results. He was able to conduct the laparoscopic surgery procedure in less than an hour and I only had four small incisions on my stomach area. I was able to go home to be on bed rest the day of my surgery. He successfully removed the cyst (cancer-free yayyyy) and my recovery time was 1.5 months. Follow-up: Ms. Nancy Galustians is the physician assistant who did both my follow-ups. She answered my silly questions about recovery and was efficient in conducting the follow-ups. Service: I have no idea how the front desk lady was able to schedule me a consultation the next day I called but I am forever grateful to the front desk ladies at this institute. They always have a cheerful and pleasant demeanor while answering the phones and are able to assist me with my questions regarding doctor's notes, office visits, scheduling. The nurses are also very personable and friendly, I felt at ease. I owe my health and happiness this year to GYN Oncology and Dr. Schlaerth, their professionalism and services can be counted on. Thank you (:

My experience with Rose Women's Health have been great. All the front desk staff and appointment…read moreschedulers have been easy to work with. There have been times they had to cancel my appointments but it happens. It's frustrating but no need to take a step further and write terrible reviews. I have been seen by both Dr. Rose and Dr. Gau and they are both very wonderful and knowledgeable. As a healthcare worker myself, I rarely see good reviews regarding hospitals and clinics. What people tend to forget is that doctors, nurses and medical staff are also humans, and will have good and bad days. They may not smile as much or may seem rushed to get things through on some days. Many people "perceive" these subtle things differently and some will take it personally and write nasty reviews and I find that to be very unfortunate. I express condolences to those that may have had geuninely negative experiences. But before you write up a review that could hurt the clinic, maybe think twice before you do so, because women are complicated, and pregnant women are extra hormonal and emotional. Healthcare burnouts are real because people expect great customer service, but hospitals and clinics are not part of that industry, so that's technically not part of their obligation.

Highly disappointed how a woman's facility could leave me hurting emotionally, medically and…read morefinancially. I'm 52 and desperately looking for Rx: HRT (especially since I got nowhere with my GP female doctor, because blood-work "normal"). When scheduling, I informed of prior "lack" of care and asked if I needed blood-work, and front desk said No. After waiting 4 months to be seen, Dr Ghau spent less than 5 minutes with me, asked the same questions their paperwork required and said there was "Nothing to do, get blood-work." They ran my insurance AND charged me $300, for Absolutely NOTHING!!! I informed front desk that I specifically asked about blood-work and they said they would talk to their front desk. I asked for a refund and they never called me back.

We've been with this clinic for almost 2 yrs now and couldn't be happier for finding them!…read more From our first appointment scheduling to our first visit, it's been a great experience for my husband and I. Getting a hold of someone whenever I have questions have never been easier. Not only do they pickup the phone call in a timely manner, but I was never in a longer hold. A few instances happened when they were busy, but that's understandable. I am always able to message them through my portal. Anything urgent, they are on top of it. Luckily I only had 2 events when this happened. From getting my labs to any test I needed, this clinic had been a breeze! I've called several other clinics before finding out about FOWH and the rest either never pickup or they're so disorganized and unhelpful during a phone consult. The sonographers that we've had were always kind, timely and helpful. We have had some questions and they're so wonderful in addressing them. Biggest shoutout to our Dr. Mitri. He is empathetic, highly knowledgeable and is just a good human being. He pays attention to every detail, he doesn't miss any question we have and he's very good at responding to our out-of-office messages/questions. His bedside manners are exceptional. He is respectful, has a good sense of humor and does his job really well. We're so happy to be a patient at FOWH and we appreciate the staff for being great! We look forward to every visit we have.

It seems cruel for me to even have to assign one star…read more Had an ultrasound-guided D&E here where the doctor not only punctured my uterus but also accidentally removed my right fallopian tube. I then had to pay for an HSG and a hysteroscopy to assess the damage. I am indeed missing my right fallopian tube. I was told they'd reimburse me for those, but I'd have to submit it through insurance. I can't bring myself to go through this process. So I'm posting my experience as a warning to other women. This botched procedure was performed on NYE of 2024, and I still have pain. I still feel intense anger when I think about how the doctor chuckled that I'd still be able to get pregnant through IVF when I was crying that I was worried I'd never be able to get pregnant again.

This office is very nice and I dont know what is up with all the negative comments, the front office can get busy but they are respectful and informative and they answer all their calls which I can never get a hold of my primary doctor or other specialist and I usually can get in within a week! Dr. Leung is very up front with things and doesn't sugar coat anything which I love. I am very happy and pleased I ended up here.

I know for some, it can feel a bit abrasive, but I truly appreciate that quality about her. When I finally became pregnant after years of infertility, she did everything to make sure my baby and I were healthy. We have built such a great rapport over the years that I fully trusted her when she made the call for an emergency c-section during my labor which literally saved my baby's life. I am so, so grateful to have her as my obgyn. To touch on her office staff- yes, they can be difficult. Yes, you really have to be your own advocate. Her new office staff has been better recently, but I can honestly look past the issues over the years just because I trust and feel comfortable with Dr Leung.

Dr. Foong is very knowledgeable, professional, warm, and friendly, which made me feel comfortable and confident in his care from the beginning. Scheduling appointments is easy, and he always prioritizes pregnancy concerns. Having two offices in Arcadia and Alhambra and Saturday appointments is a huge plus, especially for working pregnant women. My whole pregnancy journey was beautiful. I felt safe and knew I was in the right hands. Terry, Rosa, and the entire administrative staff are very kind, professional, and always willing to listen to concerns. The labor and delivery experience was memorable and beautiful thanks to his care. My recovery and postpartum journey for both baby and me were smooth, fast, and successful. I will definitely come back to him for my future pregnancy. Highly recommend!
