I've seen Dr. O'Neill once and Midwife Kay once. I found nothing wrong with the care I received…read morefrom either of them. My main problem was that neither Dr. O'Neill or Midwife Kay got back to me with my test results. Dr. O'Neill sent me out for ultrasounds and never called me with the results. I had to call myself, which I actually had to leave a message and my results were sent to me via USPS mail. That was fine, but I would think that a doctor would have better follow-up with their patients - especially when their patent is trying to get pregnant over 40 - knowing those particular test results would have given me piece of mind. This is the one that REALLY IRRITATED me! On 1/2/15 Midwife Kay sent me out for blood work for the Panorama test as I was 10 weeks pregnant. The Panorama test tests to see if your baby is in the low risk or high risk for chromosome abnormalities AND you can find out the sex of your baby. I was told that I would receive the test results back in 7-10 days. I waited 3 weeks then I decided to call Cedar OB-GYN. I left 3 messages and NO ONE got back to me. So, I called Natera, the place where my blood work was sent - the customer service rep told me that my results were sent to Cedar on 1/9/15. After finding that out on 1/22/15 my fiance immediately went in to their office to obtain the test results - results were low risk and were are having a girl - woohoo!! . Being pregnant and 41 - you are at a higher risk of having a baby with chromosome abnormalities - what midwife or doctor wouldn't think that you would want these results ASAP? Blew my mind. So, I don't want to say this place is awful, but I found their lack of communication with following up on test results and not calling back after leaving 3 messages very unprofessional. I will not be going back.

Wow so sad there are bad reviews here, Dr. o'Neill, Kay and Kavita are the only people I will trust…read morewith my reproductive health and delivery of my children! its true Dr. O'Neill can come off a bit brass, but I find it intimidating in a good way, i know she means business when talking to me about keeping up good health. She stitched me up after my first delivery, which i had several bad tares including 1 3rd degree, and i healed great under her care. She is very knowledgable and thorough, a really great doctor. Kay delivered both of my children, and we just simply wouldn't have it any other way now. She was so helpful, encouraging, but not in the way during the entire labor process for both deliveries. My husband and I feel very fortunate to have found such a trust worthy place for our care, especially because it IS hard to find good doctors these days!

Parking is horrible, but Dr. Har and the office is wonderful. There is almost no wait (0-5 minutes…read moreat the most) and the waiting & exam rooms are fully equipped with all of the recent issues of junky/fashion magazines (People, Vogue, Elle etc) people actually want to read. Dr. Har herself is very personal and phenomenal. I went in for an annual exam, and Dr. Har and I chatted so casually through the procedure that I felt like I was conversing with one of my favorite professors from college. As a 28 year old, I had mentioned to her that there is so much pressure on women in their late 20's to have children. She came back with the best piece of advice ever. Dr. Har advised me that there is never a "good time" to have kids... There is also never a "good time" to buy a house/go back to school etc. But the best way to go about having children/buying a house/going back to school is when you're emotionally ready & have support. Lastly, after I informed her that my mother was just recently diagnosed with b cancer, she immediately informed me of a free inherited cancer screening going on at the office through Consyl. It was great to know that Dr. Har was aware of free screening services available to her patients, and had the office staff set me up with an appointment right after my exam. Needless to say, this is the perfect place to go for your annual & I would recommend Dr. Har in a heartbeat.

Let me first say, I HATE doing these visits. I'm so squemish even though I've been getting exams…read morefor almost 2 decades now. Dr. Har took over for Dr. Barrett at the AOMG clinic. I was so attached to Dr. Barrett and wasn't used to seeing a female doctor. I couldn't be happier! She is so warm and caring while still being professional. She is a great listener and I just love how she distracts me with friendly conversation during my exams which totally eases my anxiety, Scheduling staff, nurse, MA's-get an A+ too. Waiting in the lobby is just a given for every doctor so I always bring a book or play with Ipod. My husband and I are trying to get pregnant right now and I wouldn't want anyone, but her to deliver my children.

She is very knowledgeable and thoroughly explains everything. After suffering two miscarriages, she successfully helped me maintain my third pregnancy! And I am happy to report I have a healthy 5 month old. I like her common sense, straight forward, no nonsense approach. She didn't mess around and wait until I had a third miscarriage (like some doc's) to see what could be a possible cause. Her staff is very nice too :) I am glad I found her amongst a sea of PPO doctors!

I recently met Dr. Tiglao as my original OBGYN is currently out on medical leave. I am so thrilled…read moreto have met Dr. Tiglao as he is so nice and listens to your concerns thoroughly. My due date is just a couple weeks away and I have a doula who will be attending the birth and he was very open and supporting the plan. He is gentle and has great bedside manners. My husband enjoys talking to him as well about the pregnancy and what to expect in the next couple of weeks. The best part is the doulas (Luma Doulas) we hired really like him and was thrilled that he was going to be taking over for the rest of my pregnancy. They stated that he is very hands off and allows the mom to make full decisions without being pushy. If you are wanting to try an un-medicated labor with doulas for your labor and would like a physician that is understanding and accommodating he is absolutely phenomenal. My husband and I are not crunchy but for our labor experience we wanted to make sure it was smooth and as stress-free as possible. I am open to medication and allowing Dr. Tiglao to guide me when it is medically necessary, but to be able to experience and at least try my best without the use of pain meds is my initial goal! Will do an updated review for Good Samaritan once we deliver! Don't hesitate to give Dr. Tiglao a call the Los Olivos Group has been a great experience for us as first time parents.

I have NO IDEA what the bad reviews are about. It's quite shocking…read more I will admit - I AM that person that wants a warm, compassionate doctor. I had just gone to another ob-gyn the week before coming to Dr. Stinson and had a terrible experience (she had 4 stars and good reviews btw). She was rude, did not respect my choices, and hinted at depression because I teared up when talking about my medical condition and fears of not being able to conceive. Dr. Stinson, on the other hand, is AMAZING. She is genuine, caring, respectful, APPROPRIATELY funny, and extremely professional. And she's WARM. Yes. She is. I worked in hospitals for many years and I can assure you this is one of the good ones. Specifically, she cared enough to ask me about my personal life without prying, validated my fears and decisions, and thoroughly explained to me what the process would be regarding my treatment and diagnosis. She also gave me hope that I have plenty of time to bear children and can do so naturally, unlike the other doctor who rolled her eyes. Yelp deceived me in this case - if I had only gone with reviews I would think the other doctor with more reviews is much more caring but hands down, Dr. Stinson is in the top 3 doctors I've ever seen in my life.

I only saw Dr. Stinson once because my regular doc in the same practice recommended I see at least…read moreone other doc in case someone else was on call when I gave birth. Dr. Stinson definitely treated me like an "alternate". Just the facts, didn't get invested in me as a person, very cursory visit. I thought she was adequate but was happy I would only have to use her in an emergency or something as my regular doc, Lisa Dyer, is awesome. Any doc would not be as good as Lisa, so Stinson could not compare. Why have anyone else when you already have the best? Of course, I ended up having a c-section and got Stinson on call after all. It was a long, messy and traumatic birth experience ending in a crash c-section. Stinson did not communicate with me well before hand what was going on. I kept asking questions and she just wanted to be out of the room and not have to deal with me. She said she would come back to answer questions and never did. When I demanded to talk to a doctor before the surgery, she came back reluctantly and was annoyed her scrub in was interrupted. By the time she did come back, I was loopy on the pre-surgery drugs and had forgot ton a lot of my questions and was completely thrown by her gruff and impatient attitude. I went into that surgery scared to death and not understanding what was going on. Later, one of the nurses told me that Stinson was "upset" from the experience! I may be a difficult patient because I demand being treated like an individual who makes informed decisions about her own health and body and the doctor's job is to inform me of their educated opinion. Stinson clearly was uncomfortable with having patients question her and based on her handling a high stressed emergency situation, she is not suited to assist mothers with high risk births. Unless you are under 30 years old and having a perfect pregnancy, AND follow your doctor's advice without questioning anything keep looking for another doctor. Compassion is not this doctor's strong suit.

The most amazing doctor a pregnant girl can wish for. I am about to have a baby any day now and…read morenever thought I would be so confident going into labor, but she has been so fantastic that I trust her and the practice to take great care of me. Never ever have I had to wait longer than 10 minutes for appointments, longer than an hour for an email response, never have been neglected with any question, no matter how stupid it seemed, she, along with her nurse Wendy have taken such amazing care of me and my first time mom concerns. We travelled a bit during this pregnancy, and any time I was abroad and had a concern, she got back to me right away. So grateful for choosing Dr. Gretkowski, highly recommend to anyone who is looking for awesome care.

Dr. G is competent, well educated and experienced so if that's all you care about she's probably a…read moregood choice for you. What she is absolutely terrible at is bedside manner which is ever so critical when you're in a stressful situation like oh you know the VERY thing this doctor specializes in... pregnancy and labor. She gets very defensive when you ask her questions. She doesn't view questions as a patient's way of understanding her body or gaining some control in a stressful situation. She sees questions as an attack on her. "I'm the doctor and I know better" is her standard line. You'll notice this echoed in similar negative reviews. Ask her about a pain and you'll hear: "Oh you have a pain here? Normal pregnancy." Contrast this with the doctor we switched to: "Yes, that's normal but here are things you can do to alleviate it. Let me massage this area and show your husband how he can help". Forget asking any questions about technology, she'll dismiss it right off the bat: "I've been doing this for 25 years and that's how we are trained." Contrast this with the doctor we switched to: "We use technology X but we dont use Y because studies show...." When asked to do an ultra sound her response was: "These are not here for your entertainment." Wow, this takes the cake. You have a worried pregnant woman in your office and you think she's looking for entertainment? It's not like we were in there every day doing an ultrasound, this was our first request. We might have thought this is normal had we not switched to a different office where the standard response was "Come in for an ultrasound ANY time. We'd rather spend the extra money on one more ultrasound than have a nervous mother on our hands." So in conclusion, she's competent and probably good at what she does BUT if during this stressful time you want to understand what's going on with your body, your pregnancy or whether certain new techniques are right for you then dont expect any answers from this doctor. At best you're not getting answers. At worst, you're going to repeatedly leave this office upset and berated. Your pregnancy is stressful enough and there is no reason to add to the stress by going to a doctor who is less than helpful.

Melissa French is as good as it gets!…read more Call for an appointment now. I should send flowers to the friend that referred me to her. I recommend Melissa to everyone I know (and they thank me for it). She is wise, kind, down to earth, knowledgeable and has the most amazing way of putting you at ease during what is let's face it... The dreaded yearly vah-jay-jay "inspection"! We hit it off from my first appointment a few years ago. Perhaps because she is not an OB/GYN (but can been seen instead of one, for annual exams) she never rushes me. She takes the time to get to know her patients (which I have found incredibly rare these days). She makes sure she has addressed all of my questions and concerns before I leave and then calls & follows-up (when needed) like no one I've ever seen. When you are with her Melissa makes you feel like you are her most important patient, and I love that. We're lucky she practices locally!
