After a traumatic first pregnancy and birth, I wanted to find a great OBGYN for my second…read morepregnancy. After some research, I decided on Dr. Nguyen. From my first appointment with him, I felt heard. He listened to every concern and acknowledged my anxiety throughout my pregnancy, always calming my nerves. I had a couple of ER visits due to nausea, and he made sure to call and check on me and baby afterward each time. I had even scheduled my induction for the day he would be on-call because I wanted him to deliver my baby. However, baby decided to arrive on her own five days early, and he wasn't able to deliver her. Nonetheless, thanks to him, I had an amazingly smooth second pregnancy and delivery. I'm done having kids, and I'm sad I won't get to see him often. I wish he had been my OBGYN for my first pregnancy, but I will continue seeing Dr. Nguyen for my other gynecological needs.

I met Dr. Nguyen during a morning routine of OB rounds at Hoag Newport. He was working per diem as…read morehe is based in Norcal. I had been in antepartum at Hoag for a little over 2 weeks due to a short cervix. He and I discussed my situation and then went about our day as my stay had been uneventful one thus far. Little did we know how the day would transpire. Long story short, my water ended up breaking early that afternoon and Dr. Nguyen delivered my twins via C-section. Although I had only met Dr. Nguyen that morning, he brought such a good calming presence that I was at ease being in his care. He even made it a point to find and let my mom know after the surgery that the babies and I were just fine. We were lucky enough to see him again 11 days post delivery as he stopped by the NICU to check in on us and the boys. That alone is enough to show the type of doctor and let alone person that he is. I could not recommend him enough and am so thankful he was the OB working that day.

Everyone should pay attention to research and keep their clinical practice honed and sharp like Dr. Beatty. Obviously see her if you want the best of care. I did want to address one of the posts below by 'Corinne'. I know pregnancy is an exciting and also scary time with so much activity, things to do, blood tests to run, so on and so on. But...I don't know how to say this without a bit of an eye roll...understanding and believing in some science is important - oh and curiosity, asking questions. This reviewer's statement: "made me believe that I would have a disease just because of my religion" grossly misrepresents both science and the physician. I strongly _SUSPECT_ this patient was appropriately screened for Tay-Sachs (as we all are and should be, umm, yeah, ty science!). Have you ever been asked if you have/were Ashkenazi Jew/ish ancestry? HIGHLY likely the doctor doesn't care about your religion but whether your child is at risk of death. Look it up. Tay-Sachs has nothing to do with religion. It is a genetic condition associated with ancestry, and discussing carrier risk or screening is standard OB-GYN care. Suggesting otherwise inaccurately implies religious bias and unfairly maligns appropriate medical practice. It's a fully inappropriate accusation. Also - another area to catch up on. Doctors who are part of a large healthcare system (i.e. PAMF or Sutter or KP or Stanford or...) do NOT HANDLE THEIR BILLING. They have nothing to do with that side of the fence. They are paid thru the organization, all the other cogs in the wheel manage the rest. Stop asking doctors to be accountants, medical coders and billing specialists since that's not what they do, and please let them focus on keeping us and our babies healthy. Like you went to see her because you were expecting her to practice medicine, right? Not do admin services, right? If the former, smart choice. Because she's awesome.

As a huge fan of palindrome numbers, I figured review #999 should be something out of the norm of…read morerestaurants and boba shops. Something that we struggled with for a while due to age was infertility. We had actually seen several fertility specialists during this long journey, and have gone through 3 rounds of IVF (2 mini's and 1 conventional) as well as an IUI. Although they were all unfortunately unsuccessful, we discovered that not all fertility clinics and doctors are created equal. While we found that many doctors take a very traditional, rigid and cookie cutter approach to treatment. Focusing more on luck through repeated attempts, Dr. Aimee was much more focused and tailored in her regiment. We always felt informed during this process, and confident in Dr. Aimee's recommendations. And unlike other clinics, we were always able to get ahold of Dr. Aimee directly. Instead of communicating with a nurse who would then pass the message along to the doctor if they felt it needed escalation. Along these lines, we were always shocked at how quickly we were usually able to get a response from Dr. Aimee. Sometimes even late at night. We often joked that Dr. Aimee probably doesn't sleep. Our only complaints about going with Dr. Aimee revolved around a few issues: 1) The initial application process to get a consultation with Dr. Aimee was lengthy, difficult, and required a lot of chasing from my wife due to poor follow-up and communication from the office. The individual handling review and processing of new patient applications would often go awol for days on end after sending out limited communication. 2) Billing was oftentimes not very clear and created a need for us to meticulously examine our bills line by line to ensure accuracy. 3) Dr. Aimee does not accept any insurance so 100% of the costs will be out of pocket. In addition, her rates are substantially higher than other clinics. Although we were ultimately unsuccessful with IVF, we were eventually blessed with a miracle baby through natural birth. Despite this, we would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Aimee to anyone looking for fertility care.

In my opinion obstetrics is probably the most important field in woman's health. It's taken me over one year and a lot of courage to write this review but I feel like what I went through should be shared so that other women deciding on their OBGYN will not have the same result. BED SIDE MANNER I initially wanted to have Dr. Jeffrey-Starr as my OBGYN because of her rave reviews from my neighbor who had a very positive experience with her after a bad experience with her first child. When I first met with Dr. Starr she confronted me with rude comments like why have you seen so many doctors? What is wrong with you? I had seen many doctors due to my endometriosis, it went undiagnosed initially by Dr. Pham who is also at that practice, but later Dr. Beatty (the only doctor I can recommend at that practice) ordered the necessary tests to be able to diagnose it. Every time I asked her questions about my pregnancy she dismissed me as if I was hyper concerned. I thought maybe I was being irrational, given she's done this a thousand times and I have only been pregnant once. She was always in and out of the room after about 5-10 minutes. She would appear visibly annoyed when I asked if I could facetime my husband for the appointment (as this was during the height of COVID) or if I asked if I could go through my list of questions (i.e., is this normal in pregnancy type Qs?) OFFICE FUNCTIONALITY I saw Dr. Starr once every third appointment. She never responded to a single inquiry I had through the online portal, instead it was her office staff who took anywhere from 3-8 days. Her NP would frequently say "that's a Q for Dr. Starr," in which I would never receive any follow through on whether the Q was relayed to her. I consistently waited in the office for my appointment anywhere between 1-2 hours. This is tough for a pregnant woman who is also working. DIAGNOSIS/CARE Because of our infrequency in communication, I didn't really feel like Dr. Starr was my doctor. My saving grace was a family friend who was an OBGYN. I could call her and ask her about symptoms I was having and she would tell me whether they were concerning or not. When she said they were concerning, I went to the ER and got the necessary blood work done. I did end up getting contractions early on and had some symptoms consistent with liver issues (all of these things went undiagnosed) and didn't seem concerning to Dr. Starr. When I was admitted to the hospital due to high blood pressure, I was there for 7 days. The first 72 hours I was induced, on a high amount of pitocin, on an epidural for 4 days, several cervical exams, a serious of high fevers, and very low over sight from Dr. Starr. I had asked Dr. Starr if we should go through a birth plan together, prior to me going to the hospital and she said no. At the hospital, I saw 5 other OBs at the hospital and there was no consistency of care. Finally, I requested a C section after having a very high fever of 102 and my blood pressure shooting up to the 170s. The C section was performed quickly but there was a lot of bickering on the other side of the curtain (overall it seemed like the care team wasn't functioning well together). In the recovery room, I went into septic shock, the rapid response team was called and was transferred to the ICU where my life was literally being saved. There were probably 20-30 different medical professionals buzzing around me, and I didn't see my baby for 3 days after he was born. AFTER CARE Dr. Starr visited me once when I was in the ICU to take my bandages off. I couldn't get an appointment with her for my 6 week post op apt. A different OB said my scar tissue indicates the surgery wasn't performed skillfully. Overall I would not recommend Dr. Starr and actually feel obligated to warn others because the result of having her as your doctor could be fatal.
