I have spent many years being dismissed by medical professionals when it comes to chronic pain. The office is fun and very professional. I love the front desk staff because they actually remember my face and are very friendly. I appreciate the personal touches around their office that speak to who the providers are beyond their practice. Kara is the provider I've seen the most so far. She is so gentle, kind and knowledgeable. Thank you! Can't wait to see how the new office transforms over the next few months. You all rock!

I had a very disappointing experience with Dr. Adrouny's practice. My initial consultation was…read morerescheduled multiple times over the course of several months before I was finally able to see her. Unfortunately, just a few minutes into our appointment, she was called away to attend to an emergency, leaving our consultation incomplete. Despite this, I was still charged a copay. I requested a virtual appointment for the following week to make up for the incomplete consultation, however, I never received an appointment reminder, and on the scheduled day, no one contacted me for the consultation. To my surprise, when I checked the patient portal, the appointment was marked as completed, with documentation indicating that the doctor had spoken with me which was entirely false. I have since requested a refund but have yet to receive a response. While I understand that emergencies arise in healthcare, the repeated scheduling issues, false appointment documentation, lack of communication, dismissiveness, and failure to address not only my health concerns but my refund request are unacceptable. It's unfortunate that a practice meant to prioritize women's health and well-being has left me feeling that compensation takes precedence over our lives. Healthcare should be centered on compassion and healing, and sadly, that was not my experience.

My experience with BAM was overwhelmingly positive. I say with true conviction that I don't believe…read moreI would have received better care, inclusive of my birthing experience anywhere else in the Bay Area. I am a first time mom, healthy overall physically/mentally, and was seeking a low intervention and unmedicated birth. I started my pregnancy with a well regarded OB in Palo Alto. During my time there I hadn't even met my doctor and was not given more than 5 minutes per appointment. It was impersonal and not a fit, so I decided to change practices and make the long drive (I live in Redwood City) to BAM. My first appointment with BAM was night and day and continued that way through my entire pregnancy. Every midwife is professional, knowledgable, and kind. They all care deeply for their patients and take as much time as needed to discuss questions or concerns. After each appointment I'd receive notes with follow ups, and if I ever had any additional questions I could easily message them and they'd reply so quickly. I felt secure and supported leading up to my delivery. If there was ever a decision to be made, (ex. vaccines, GBS treatment, due date) the options were discussed in an evidence-based conversation without judgment and completely empowering me to make the decision - I was NEVER pushed into any medical intervention. In fact, when I had concerns over something, Lin called me on her day off to help. This is what I mean by exceptional support and care. During my delivery in Feb 2023, I was supported by Lin, Danielle, and my doula Tara Gomez. I had a long and challenging labor but ultimately was able to deliver my baby girl safely, without an epidural. I owe this completely to the care and support I was given. I am convinced, had I given birth with a traditional OB, I would have experienced many more interventions and would not have been able to deliver naturally. The entire experience was incredibly empowering! Lin is the best of the best in this field, being a midwife for over 40 years and delivering over 7,000 babies. I am just one of those numbers, but I will never forget the level of expertise she brought to my baby's birth. Regardless of where I live in the Bay Area, I plan to come back to BAM for any future pregnancy. I cannot recommend this practice more and I am SO grateful for these midwives and this practice. I trust them wholeheartedly and wish more women could have this type of prenatal/delivery experience!

I did not feel comfortable with the get in get out method that a lot of traditional OBs or hospital offices have and really felt holistically cared for in this office.

I knew I wanted a low intervention birth, and was looking for midwifery style care, but also wanted to deliver in a hospital and this was the perfect scenario. In the delivery room, I really would have trusted all four midwives and knew that they always had my well-being in mind.

When i told her about sharp pain in the pelvic area that comes and goes she said that it was nerve/muscle pain even though even mayo clinic says cysts cud also cause sharp instead of dull pain?

BUT, she caused horrible DAMAGES during the surgery. It took more than 10 months, 5 procedures, 1 surgery and a 6 figures medical bill ($X00,000), just to TRY TO FIX the damages she caused (this doesn't include the cost of her initial surgery). The doctor who repaired the initial surgery said he cannot be sure it was successful and I need to be monitored for AT LEAST a few years, before we can know. After the surgery, within a few days I developed a fever and intense abdominal pain and was hospitalized. I stayed in the hospital for almost a week and she couldn't find out the problem. I was discharged after the fever was gone. A week or so later, new symptoms appeared and I was at hospital again, and found out she caused horrible damages. a) During the surgery she damaged one organ and even tried to fix the problem herself, despite it not being her specialty. b) In order to save another one of my organs, I needed an immediate procedure. I had to repeat this procedure 4 more times before I could get the corrective surgery and a total of 3 specialists had to be involved. Had Dr. Mary Kilkenny consulted another doctor earlier, I was told that the problem could've been identified and possible saved me from the 2nd surgery. Within 7 months of her causing the damages which were not yet fixed, she did NOT even call me to see how I was doing. Later, I called her and asked her what had happened during the surgery. During that call, she even said "I thought the problem was already solved". What kind of doctor causes damages, and just expect other doctors to clean up her mess, and does not even follow up to make sure the patient is recovered from her damages?

Although I have never met him before, I can immediately feel he is very experienced and knowledgeable, and that I'm in very good hands. His calm and pleasant attitudes gave me so much reassurance and confidence. He checked on me a few times throughout the process and explained next steps to me clearly, so I knew what to expect. I had been pushing for about 3 hours and when he walked in, he suggested a different pushing position and explained that we would do episiotomy and vacuum, we immediately made a lot of progress and the baby was out within the next 40 mins or so. He did a great job at repairing the episiotomy site and clearing out as much as possible so that made the recovery quite smooth. He gave me 100% confident in him during the delivery and I think that if it wasn't because I had so much faith in him, I probably wouldn't have been able to have vaginally delivered after so many hours of contractions and pushing, i probably would have ended up with a c-section (which i really was hoping to avoid). He also was very considerate of my family's feelings too.
