My ob was not on call that evening (sad, because he's great!), but I had the privilege of receiving care from Dr. lao! My first baby I got the epidural, but this one I was hoping to go unmedicated. MAN is that so much easier said than done! As I lingered for awhile at 9/10 centimeters, I was becoming more and more tired, scared, and indecisive on my next steps for bringing my son into the world. Every contraction made me less confident that I could do it, but Dr Lao was one of the 3 in the room who reassured me and helped me through! My biggest praise has to go to her CALM CALM demeanor. What a difference that made! She was incredibly patient with my indecisiveness, never pressed me for what she wanted over what I wanted, but also (so) kindly gave her recommendations and gave me both the space to think things through and all the options before me. She also took great care and extra steps in physically delivering my son, and honored my wish to delay cord clamping until the cord turned white. Never with a hint of annoyance either. Thank you Dr. Lao!!

After a four-year fertility journey with many ups and (mostly) downs, I was very anxious throughout my pregnancy about something going wrong. I also had significant, daily physical discomfort (including nausea throughout all nine months of gestation!). From my husband's and my very first appointment, we were impressed with Dr. Kurtzman's office. They were able to schedule us around our travel plans for our first visit. The scheduling/administrative staff members are very efficient and great at getting back with patients swiftly about both scheduling matters and medical questions requiring the doctor's input. They effectively multi-task and are very invested in positive patient experiences. When you call the office, you speak to a real human located inside the building! No automated phone system, portal-only care, or extra hoops to jump through blocking you from receiving timely care. When I once needed to speak to the doctor about a time-sensitive matter on a weekend, I was able to promptly contact him by phone without any issues. The physical office itself is spacious, impeccably maintained, and beautifully furnished. Medical and nursing staff, including the sonographers and personnel monitoring non-stress tests (NSTs), are good-natured and seem to genuinely enjoy their jobs, expressing happiness and excitement when monitoring the baby and a desire to meet the baby once they are "on the outside!" In addition, Dr. Kurtzman is clearly an expert! He addressed my many questions thoroughly during each visit, and with empathy and caring. He is passionate about the work he does (including his research contributions to the field), and it really shows, having a significant positive impact on the quality of care patients receive. I always felt I was in good hands and never a burden. He took my complaints seriously and prescribed several medications to ease my discomfort. His office sent prescriptions to the pharmacy swiftly and effectively communicated with my regular obstetrician's office, as well as my daughter's future pediatrician. Furthermore, when I was at risk of pre-term birth, he increased my medications, monitoring, and physical restrictions, additionally ordering steroid injections in the event of an early delivery. It all paid off, and my daughter and I had a smooth induction at 39 weeks, on the day I wanted. She was born healthy and well. In a nutshell, the quality of care I received at OCMFM was significantly better than my experiences at other OB offices, with my family members and me feeling supported as individuals in more of a personalized, human-centered way that is hard to come by in these days of AI assistants, online portals, and low-contact care. I would highly recommend their services to anyone with a high-risk pregnancy who wants to feel respected, valued, and attentively cared for as a patient.

After experiencing a stillbirth at 38 1/2 weeks pregnant, I knew I needed to recruit the best possible army to help navigate my rainbow pregnancy.

The team is so thorough, listening to every concern compassionately . And Dr. K, well he is the absolute best. After being under his care from 15 weeks onward, I finally delivered my baby girl at 37 weeks. I am so grateful to OCMFM, for helping me through.

However, he is really good so he deserves this review! As a registered nurse who has worked in hospitals as well as outpatient clinics, I can say that he has to be one of the best doctors I have spoken with. He has the best bedside manner and is extremely knowledgable! We just finished our first visit with him and he was so patient, kind, and very understanding of what a first time mom is going through. I was contemplating on going to him or one of the bigger OB/GYN groups in Irvine and am so glad I opted in to have Dr. Chang be our OB for my first pregnancy. His front desk answers their phones really quickly so you know you'll be able to schedule an appointment very easily (I had called another very large OB office and didn't get a callback until 2 days later)! He is definitely a hidden gem here! I highly recommend him! I encourage you to look for an OB like him- one that takes the time to get to know you and answers your questions. If you are like me, a first timer who has no clue about anything maternity/prenatal, he is a perfect doctor for you! I absolutely highly recommend him!

She also guided me through different positions to help me push more effectively, which made a big difference. I especially appreciated her communication when our daughter's heart rate was dipping during contractions.

We never had a long wait time and the office tried to accommodate our early appointment preference so I could make it to work almost each time.

I would not recommend this clinic, AI TEAM. First, it took…read moremore than two months just to get a virtual consultation. By the time my appointment finally arrived, I had already tested positive for an early pregnancy and informed Dr. Lin that I am going to see my OBGYN in a next few days during the of the consultation. Despite knowing I was positive, Dr. Lin recommended tests that were not appropriate for my situation. When I later questioned the testing, I was told the wrong tests had been ordered, and the responsibility was shifted to the nurse !!!!! The consultation felt robotic and disconnected from my actual medical condition. No clear guidance was provided regarding next steps, and I had to contact the clinic myself about a week later to cancel the treatment plan. They still billed my insurance for the consultation which their website does not show any cost for consultation fee. When I called to ask Michelle for details charge. she yelled at me and implied that I was at fault simply for attending the consultation!!!! From the doctor to the front office and the billing team, my experience showed me that the entire clinic lacks communication and coordination. The advertising to be misleading. Patients seeking fertility treatment are already under significant emotional stress. We deserve doctors who listen, evaluate their individual circumstances, and provide genuine medical guidance--not a scripted conversation followed by unexpected charges.
