It's so hard to find a doctor who understands HRT and women's hormones during perimenopause. Dr Lisa Bodon is so caring and such an expert on this! She will take her time with you and make sure you feel your absolute best. She even will figure out what your insurance will cover. It is so incredible to have a team mate who truly wants me to have the best life, and didn't stop until these labs were optimal. I think she's great. She also is knowledgeable about lichen sclerosis, which is another specialty that is rare to find in a gyno doctor. She always remembers who I am and even details about my life. There is a wait at the office, but for me it's worth it. I just schedule my day around knowing that she takes her time with every patient, and when it's my turn I'm grateful she is listening to me. read more

Dr. Bodon has been my doctor for many years, and I truly appreciate her knowledge, care, and the way she listens to her patients. She is the main reason I continue to come back, and I trust her medical judgment. That said, the front desk and overall follow-up still need improvement. While phone answering has gotten better compared to the past, there is still a lack of urgency. I left 2-3 voicemails regarding a culture I had done with Biocor and waited about two weeks without a callback. During that time, I called the office multiple times just trying to get an update. Eventually, I went in person, and suddenly the results were available and the prescription was sent to the pharmacy. Unfortunately, I had to go through my symptoms for over 9 days longer than necessary, which was very frustrating. Dr. Bodon herself is great, but better communication, follow-up, and urgency from the front desk and assistants would make a big difference in the overall patient experience. read more

In November of 2025 I left voice messages at both of their offices to get an appointment, no one ever called me back, in December I emailed them and no one messaged me back or called me back, in February 2026 I walked in and I got an appointment for May 25th 2026, in April I got a call that the office way going to be closed on my appointment date so they could move it up to May 14th 2026, days before the appointment they called to reschedule I said I'd have to call back because my job doesn't allow me to just leave on one days notice and I had to move things around and preplan everything to go, I finally got my boss to agree after begging so I called the office back, no one answered when I called, I called four times and left messages that yes I'd be able to make it in, the day of the new appointment date and time they called and canceled because " I DID NOT CONFIRM THE APPOINTMENT AND THEY GAVE IT TO SOMEONE ELSE" they said they can't see me until July 2026 and they would put me on a waiting list and leave a note that I am upset. I told her no and just hung up. Thank you Lisa Bodon for the wonderful experience your office gives its patients. Mind you I wasn't even going to use insurance so everything I was going to get done was out of pocket $400 for the first consultation, maybe this was the universe telling me not to do it. Stay blessed. read more

I'm not willing to contact the office, nor talk to you ever again! I've been struggling for the last month no thanks to your help. I already did reach out through the patient portal but you didn't bother engaging in any way except to send a lower prescription to the pharmacy without walking me through what to do next. Your burn out is showing. So much for women supporting women. I just hope I can recover from what happened. Instead, there was no discussion of doubling my estrogen dose. I don't need a generic response to my review. Leave it for someone else who's going to believe it. I'm beyond upset. This is my wellbeing we're talking about! While being dismissed by every other doctor, I get to be pretty much dismissed by someone who's supposed to be helping women. I hope you can be more mindful with other patients and not do what you did with me. It'd be the best thing you could do. read more

Echoing MANY patients. NO ONE calls you back. You cannot get a LIVE person. They have a new phone system that asks you not to get frustrated and promises a call back with 24-48 hours. I am a current patient and have left five messages over the past four weeks. Absolutely NO CALL back. read more

After being impressed with my initial and only consultation with Dr. Bodon, I was very quickly shocked at the lack of care. I was put hormone cream and birth control pills for estrogen purposes. I had a very strong and life altering experience. I called the office twice and talked to the receptionist and used the words "hormonal crisis" and that I need to speak to the doctor, left another 3rd message on the machine, using the word hormonal crisis. no response. Ever. I emailed Dr. Bowden two times (after she gave me her card and said email me anytime) using the same terminology, no response email. I called the office to cancel my follow up appointment and to tell them how disappointed I was. No follow up. Shame on this office. After my first appointment, I referred Dr. Bodon's to a friend who also called 3 times and left messages with no response. There are many bad reviews here and the fact that there has been no response or apology by this office to people that they hurt in a significant way says everything. read more

She listens to you and is the best gynecologist I've ever had in 40 years of ever seeing a gynecologist. I would consider her an expert in menopausal and post menopausal treatment. read more

The phone system is terrible. No way to talk to a love person. Dr Boden is a good doctor but it's hard to call the office and talk to a live person. Very frustrating read more

I have been trying to reach office stuff since April 24th through phone calls and patient portal regarding an appt they changed to a telephone appt that was never received on april 18th. I have left several voice and several portal messages without a return call or message. Dr Bodon, herself is an awesome doctor! The office needs some help. read more

Mrs.Boden is an amazing doctor and has found health problems that my regular doctor didn't find .l recommender her percent.

Have called multiple times and left voicemails to schedule an appointment and NOBODY answers or returns phone calls. It's been three weeks I've left voicemails and tried to get through. read more

This wonderful doctor found my cancer in my uterus can't believe how wonderful she is kind and caring direct me to the most perfect oncologist we need more doctors like her thank you read more

Dr Boden is kind, caring and listens to her patients. She has really helped me reclaim my quality of life. Highly recommended.

Be aware that Dr. Bodon's office charges a CC Fee for payments. A) This is not disclosed at the time of booking and B) Is against the law in California. In addition, if you are visiting for hormone treatments, she will push drugs that I suspect she gets kickbacks on. I am not overweight, but she pushed pretty hard for me to start taking Ozempic (or similar). I declined and mentioned that my SIL is a physician and we have discussed the problems with these drugs so I was not interested. She got visibly upset and later commented that my SIL must be very thin and not understand. She also didn't do any level of physical before starting me on a variety of hormone treatments (which seems suspicious). And finally, at the end of the appointment I realized she had someone in video on her computer during our appt. The entire experience felt more like seeing one of those "pain doctors" that hands out opioid vs. a doctor visit. read more

Dr. Bodon's office is the most unethical I've come across in all my years of specialists. First, they collected my insurance information weeks before my first new patient visit and failed to tell me that they were out of network costing me hundreds of dollars for routine care that should have been covered including a new patient intake meeting where she talked to me for five minutes and it cost $400. Second, and this was before I knew she was out of network, I was on my second visit for a routine pap smear and IUD removal. She was not able to remove the IUD for failure to see the string. She mentioned that she would like to schedule me for a surgery to remove it and that I would hear from the scheduler. I had to follow up with the scheduler weeks later myself as no one from her office bothered to call me. What's worse is that she and her office are committing insurance fraud by billing Anthem Bluecross for services not performed. For example, she submitted a code to bill the insurance provider for a surgery for the IUD removal, which never happened, while I was in her office. When I called to have it corrected, her office gave me the runaround and transferred me to different departments, all of which were unhelpful and to date I still have no resolution for the fraudulent charges. And yes, I did file a grievance with the insurance company. This review is to warn others of her office's deceitful practices. read more

Received the best care from Dr. Bodon. She really listens to you and your concers. She is up to date on new women's health issues and new research. Her staff is very friendly and approachable at either office. Thank you ladies, you do a great job!! read more

I will follow Dr. Bodon anywhere. I Have been seeing her for almost 20 years and I will not go anywhere else. If for some reason she is not in network with my new insurance, I will pay cash just to see her. She has helped me tremendously with my HRT and is always so kind, gentle and caring. She answers any questions I have and I feel like I can talk to her as a friend as well as my doctor. She is the best in the business. The office staff has always been very kind to me. I went to the wrong office one time (my mistake) and, though I said I was going to be 25 minutes late, they were so accommodating and worked me in without hesitation or "attitude". The whole office is wonderful. read more

I can never take HRT except for progesterone because of Dr Bodon. She pumped me full of hormones with a bunch of false promises and I ended up being riddled with fibroids because she didn't follow-up properly and "forgot" to prescribe progesterone. My levels were at toxic levels and I was sent to an Eisenhower ONCOLOGIST who told me this stuff is "POISON." He's some of three Eisenhower docs that have told me her prescribing this stuff is unethical. It's all about the money and cramming as many appointments in as possible. They have to send the overflow to the Donya Spa. Complaint made to the medical board! read more

Love Dr.Bodon. She is compassionate and caring. There's not many doctors that exist with wanting to help. So próis and happy she is my doctor read more

Dr. Lisa Bodon is an amazing doctor and human being. She is the most caring doctor I have ever encountered. After some frustrating conversations with my GP doctor, regarding feeling lethargic, and loss of libido, I had my testosterone checked. It was quite low, but within the normal range. My GP doc would not prescribe Replacement Therapy. I asked for a referral and connected with Dr. Bodon. She immediately got me on Testosterone Replacement Therapy as well as some meds for weight loss. After just a couple weeks, I was feeling fantastic with great energy and a much improved libido. After 4 months, I have lost 42 lbs! Dr. Bodon has been very encouraging and goes the extra mile to check in with me and my progress. As my friends have seen my health improvement, they too wanted to meet Dr. Bodon. I now have several friends seeing her and they are having equally great success. She is 1 in a million and I highly recommend her. She is a very special find in the medical field. read more

Wonderful doctor! Happy with All appointments on every level, very caring and sensitive to my needs! Laurie Anderson read more

I was referred to Dr.Boden by my PCP for Endo pain. She took the time to listen to me and consider my history and symptoms. She ordered an ultrasound, even though she did not suspect anything, and found 13 cysts. My next appointment she handed me a copy of my results and a page of treatment options and prices to consider. She gets straight to the point and is very knowledgeable. read more

Dr. Bodon is very kind, thoughtful, and listens well. She and her staff are in a new office now, and it is way nicer and bigger (as of January 2024). There is a Lab Corp. office there as well, so that is very convenient. Dr. Bodon got my hormones regulated and that brought me over to Donya Spa (testosterone pellet insertion) which is very close to Dr. Bodon's location. I recommend Dr. Bodon for your gynecological needs. read more

Pretty disappointing. Following my daughter's surgery, the assisting nurse told me that they "were not able to do the ablation, but did everything else." We found out later that "everything else" was not done - the first priority of the surgery was not accomplished. Additionally, we returned to the office because my daughter was experiencing severe abdominal area bruising following the surgery. Dr. Bodon shrugged it off with no explanation and no offer of recommendations for next steps. I called to discuss my concerns and after navigating the the loop of phone messages, I left a message and was told a return call would happen in 24 to 48 hours. No return call. A nurse friend then looked at the bruising and recommended a visit to the ER, suggesting something could have been punctured. The bruising worsened and then started to get better during the 3-day hospital visit with continuous monitoring and testing. It seems that Dr. Bodon and staff could and should have done much better on this one. read more

Dr Lisa and her staff are a true credit to the medical community. I needed to visit her office 5 times in as many months to address an issue and with each visit they were very friendly & professional. They run a smooth and efficient office, not once did I wait longer than 15 minutes to be seen! Doctor Boden is absolutely wonderful, she takes/makes the time to actually look at you and make certain that you're thoughts and concerns are being heard and understood. Patricia & Gabby go above to make a woman feel as comfortable as possible while we women need to be in less than comfortable "situations". Again, credit to The Doc keeping her bar high and her staff meeting and exceeding! read more

Dr. Bodon is excellent. Her staff is deficient, though. I usually can't get a phone response to my messages. Today, I called to make a follow-up appointment, and literally no one answers. It's very frustrating. But I love Dr. Bodon, who's helped me with HRT. read more

Dr. Bodon is an extraordinary human. She exemplifies what it means to be a doctor of service to the public. She carries herself with a level of compassion, integrity, ethics and understanding that is bar-non to any doctor I have ever had. She truly, innately and intuitively understands the female experience. As a mother and pre-mother, I have never ever had the degree of support and enthusiasm by a doctor to help me overcome incredible medical challenges. Additionally, she is incredibly responsive to client needs. Her office is under an unbrella organization so if you calls are forwarded through the call system, it is not a reflection of her service or care or that of her staff. Remain persistent! She is in high demand due to her incredible quality of care! read more

Finally a Doctor that actually answers my questions. I have had nothing but bad luck with doctors since I have moved to Palm Springs. I wish she could be my primary doctor. read more

A absolutely amazing Dr!!! Dr Bodon delivered my babies and did my hysterectomy and did a amazing job!!! I would highly recommend her for all of your female needs. Dr Bodon is compassionate and truly cares about her patients and will always be there when you need help. read more

Dr. Boden is a great gyno doctor. She listens to you and does what she can to help. The office staff have been great!

Dr. Bodon is one of the kindest and most honest doctors that I have ever had. She is thorough, and gives you every option available to you, so that you can choose which you are most comfortable with. She is patient and takes time to answer questions, and you never feel rushed. read more

Lisa Bodon is the best! I'm lucky to feel so comfortable and taken care of which is exactly the way we should feel when seeing our doctor!

Hands down Dr. Lisa Bodon is the best Gyno in the the desert. She has given me my life back and I am finally living without pain. She really has been the only Gyno I have ever been to that has given me options and hope for my Stage 4 Endometriosis. I ultimately needed a full Hysterectomy and a complete roto rooter of my entire middle cavity, no regrets. I am 40 years old and have never lived a day without pain since I was 13. She has changed my life for the better. I can not in anyway thank her enough for putting up with my cry fests in her office and dealing with me month after month. From the bottom of my heart - Thank you! Oh and when she suggests getting the BioTE Hormone replacement - do it. 100% worth every cent. Unfortunately my insurance does not cover it, but I happily pay out of pocket for this. read more

Dr. Bodon is caring and compassionate with her patients. She takes as much time as you need to go over any issues and concerns about your medical circumstances. She has taken care of me, my sister and my mother and I recommend her to any woman in need of OB/GYN care. read more

LOVE Dr.Boden! I'm so glad to have found her!! She's absolutely wonderful and totally know's her "stuff!"

I love Dr. Boden though her front staff is incompentant and insulting, and I'm on the verge of finding another MD.

So many people say they have issues scheduling with Dr Boden. She is the sweetest person alive and does her best to give you what you need. She's doing Biote hormone replacement, gyno appointments... here's the contact info for her office.. read more

Lisa M Bodon, MD - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Dr. Lisa Boden is an outstanding individual who has the ability to supersede attention to detail she found a growth removed it perfectly that I had little to no damage done to the organ it was attached to. That up until that point we had no idea what conditions it would be in she saved me and provided me support with high quality care before during and after my discharge.Her staff was fantastic the nurses were very thorough and kept me informed about each step of the process.I highly recommend Dr. Boden and her staff for any gynecology needs. read more

Love, love, loved her! She is not the typical doctor with the God like view of themselves. Attentive, personable, knowledgeable and professional. We need more doctors like her. read more

Dr. Bodon is the best doctor I've ever had by a long shot. Before her I had seen numerous doctors that were either impossible to get appointments with, or who weren't really interested in fixing any of my underlying issues, particularly in the Palm Springs/Coachella Valley area. Then my wife recommended seeing Dr. Bodon, even though she's her gynecologist and I'm a dude. I took a chance because I was just generally frustrated with trying to find a general practitioner in the area, and it was definitely the best medical decision I've made, and Dr. Bodon was extremely accommodating (she sees all types of patients at her Donya Spa location). Since then I've had procedures at her at Donya Spa, and follow ups with her in both her Palm Springs and Palm Desert gynecologist offices. She is always friendly, thoughtful, and puts my concerns first; I cannot speak more highly of her. In 41 years she is the first doctor that I've ever had that actually cares and is willing to explore every avenue that can help. I've been seeing her for various reasons since May, and in only 5 months she's completely turned my health around. She makes me feel very comfortable every visit and it feels as if she has been my doctor for years. It's rare to find a doctor that combines such personal touches and care for a patient as a person with outstanding quality of medical care. I highly recommend becoming her patient, she's the best gynecologist a man could have! read more
