    After years of feeling terrible and being told I'm fine, Dr. Wallace HEARD me, listened intently,…read moreand treated my symptoms! I had thorough labs done, and she sat with me for a long time discussing all of my concerns. I have a new outlook on life, and feel hopeful for the first time in a long time. Her team is kind, and compassionate as well! Dr. Wallace is a true find!

    Stay away -- BAIT AND SWITCH! I NEVER write reviews - but…read morethis is worth it. I called and got the quote of $400 for a pellet. I called back to verify that it was a total of $400, because a friend felt that was low. They said that it was total $400 out the door. To my surprise, I am being billed another $250. I called and told them I had verified. After not getting a call back, I called again. The office manager called me back and after I explained the situation, she said that they had made a mistake "because they are only human", but there was nothing they could do about the extra bill. I reiterated what she said to me (they made a mistake but they wouldn't fix the mistake) and she said "this is the medical profession, not retail. We don't fix things in the medical profession". Then she proceeded to tell me that I don't have to pay it, but that they will just send it to collections. She had a raised voice, and was interrupting me every time I tried to say anything and was 100% unprofessional. She sounded like she was in her 30's without much life experience. Dr. Wallace seemed knowledgeable and fine. (When she inserted the pellet, I wasn't numbed all the way, but she immediately fixed it and it was a fine experience.) Ultimately, I don't think the pellet is rocket science - you cut, insert and bandage it. But since they are expensive, the price took me to Dr. Wallace. The truth is - I would have gone to Dr. Wallace for the next 10+ years for a pellet. But her receptionist was rude and defensive, I never got a return call on my first inquisition, and her office manager was ready to fight with me as soon as she did call. I won't be returning. And I have a sister, mother-in-law and sister-in-law who have already made appointments with her. Plus several others who I have given her name to. Pretty sure not one of them will be going....because I told them it was only $400! Dr. Wallace - your staff is a disservice to you. Customer service is still essential! I did my due diligence, was wronged, and nothing was rectified. I'm not into the bait and switch - that is a used-car lot move!

    My wife continues to be scarred by the level of care she received from Vaya. It's been over a year…read moreand we still are working through it. I truly could not recommend her less. Shes flippant, flighty, and does not advocate for her patients. We were supposed to see her for a wellness check during a hospital stay. Hours went by. We finally talk to the charge nurse. We track down Vaya. She decided to go home instead because she was getting a package. If you want a doctor that understands and respects you, look elsewhere.

    I was initially drawn to Dr. Tanamai's practice because of her high ratings, convenient…read moreavailability, and the beautiful office in Laguna Hills. Unfortunately, my experience with her fell far short of expectations. Over the course of several appointments, a consistent pattern emerged: she is abrupt, cold, and lacks the empathy and attentiveness that are essential in an OBGYN. Dr. Tanamai frequently rushed through visits, interrupted me mid-sentence, and seemed more focused on her computer screen than on engaging with me as a patient. She rarely made eye contact, didn't create a welcoming or safe environment, and often made me feel dismissed and unheard. Her communication style came across as rude and, at times, gaslighting; leaving me to question whether my concerns were even valid. For example, I had a valid concern for back/pelvic floor pain, and she immediately told me it's "a hip issue" and after seeing a physical therapist; it was not "just a hip issue." Therefore, this is my point that she dismisses you and cuts you off mid sentence to avoid any further discussion. What's most disappointing is that the quality of care felt secondary to efficiency. As a patient, I was seeking thoughtful, compassionate, and patient-centered care. Unfortunately, I found Dr. Tanamai's approach lacking in all of these areas. I hope this feedback serves as an encouragement for her to reflect and improve how she interacts with patients. Every woman deserves an OBGYN who listens, connects, and genuinely cares. Sadly, that was not my experience here, and I would not recommend her to others. Overall she is just impolite, and doesn't have genuine intentions to be kind or helpful. It's very important to find a quality doctor to deliver a precious baby and it should be a beautiful process of getting quality care, to feel safe, to feel heard and ensure that your doctor attentively listens and validates any and all concerns. 0/10 "doctor" and she should review some ethics and proper bedside manner from actual doctors that are highly rated.

The…read moreadministrative burden, insurance pressures, and volume expectations placed on doctors are enormous, and I don't doubt that Dr. Baginski works very hard. That said, my experience was that the practice feels overextended to the point where patient care suffers. Despite having a large staff, my visits with Dr. Baginski were extremely brief (on the order of a few minutes), and there was little opportunity to ask questions, discuss the full clinical picture, or feel heard. I often felt like decisions were being made at me rather than with me. In my case, I was dealing with a complex situation involving abnormal uterine bleeding, iron-deficiency anemia, and multiple downstream symptoms. I was hoping for a more comprehensive, investigative approach, but the pace of the visit made that difficult. When care is rushed at that level, it's hard for patients to feel confident that all contributing factors are being thoughtfully considered. I imagine this practice may have grown very popular over time, which speaks to Dr. Baginski's reputation and experience. Unfortunately, it now feels like the volume may be too high to allow for the kind of careful, patient-centered care that complex cases require. This may be a good fit for patients with straightforward needs who are comfortable with a very fast-moving, high-throughput model. For patients with more complicated or evolving issues who need time, discussion, and a holistic approach, it may not be the right match.

She is the most dedicated OB I ever met! Kind, caring, genuine, & overall the best. She is private practice...SHE TAKES HER TIME. She is patient. She is through. I trust her. And she delivers most of her babies! Her caring staff is so nice. Her front desk will take care of you. I remember having to do a transfer of care and she put me at ease and told me not worry about it and that she will get all the documents she will need from my previous doctor. Her nurse. Nurse Patti! She is the sweetest nurse ever... As she greets you to come in for weigh in and vitals... she truly listens to you and make you feel at ease... Because I had to deliver earlier than expected... I wasn't ready. My mom was out of town. My husband was scheduled for a promotional interview. I broke down and cried!!! And I requested her nurse to be at my delivery. And she didn't even hesitate. She immediately said Yes and gave me a hug and told me she will be there for me. I highly recommend Dr.Robinson! She will take care of you and so will her staff. Very thankful to have her!!! My family is blessed to have her!!!

She delivered my second baby after my experience with another Dr. in the area was horrible delivering my first. Dr. Robinson stayed in the room with me until the baby was ready to be born and made me feel so comfortable. If you are looking for a caring Doctor who doesn't make you feel like you're just another patient, Dr. Robinson is the Doctor for you.

    Have not been seen by a provider so I cannot speak to the actual appointment part of the…read moreexperience, my review is about my scheduling experience. Was supposed to be seen by a provider today at 3pm but learned at 11am that the specific provider does not see new patients after 2:30pm. This was rather frustrating since I had booked this appointment weeks out, completed the paperwork online, and took off work for the appointment. I also received a handful of texts and emails leading up to the appointment. Wish this was caught sooner. I know there are 20+ providers at OCWG and each one works different schedules so there will be room for error with scheduling but I wish the system was set up differently to avoid this issue. -- Review separate from the scheduling mishap: The person I worked with when I first scheduled the appointment weeks ago and the other person today that helped me reschedule were helpful and had professional phone demeanor. I like how many of the providers have video bios on their website.

    I've been with this group since 2021 and at the beginning I had a great experience. I still think…read morethey have great providers but their medical staff is severely undermining the experience with the practice as a whole. Recently I had an appointment scheduled with a provider who was an NP and apparently only a doctor was allowed to review my results with me from some tests I had done a month ago. Because of this they canceled my appointment the day of and rescheduled but did not schedule an appointment long enough to conduct an annual physical exam, which I asked for via messages in my Athena portal and when I scheduled my appointment on the phone. At my appointment I waited 20 minutes to have the medical assistant say "oh I was looking for you!" I was in one spot in the waiting room the whole time. Lastly they billed the wrong insurance policy and I received a bill for $800 for something I know is covered by my insurance. I am still rectifying this issues made by their staff and I'm really upset that I will likely have to find a new doctor because of the medical staff's inability to do their job.
