Throughout my pregnancy he always made sure all my questions were answered, conducted necessary tests and referred me to specialists as soon as he realized I had high risk twin pregnancy. He didn't take any chances with my pregnancy and I am very grateful for that also. On day of my emergency c-section, Dr Clare was not on call, however, he still wanted to be there for me and my babies and came to hospital to deliver my twins. His bedside manners are great. He is very patient and caring doctor. God bless you Dr Clare, thank you for everything!

I began going to Dr. Clare (and the other doctors at Modesto arts medical group) during almost my…read more9th month of pregnancy. I came in with a high risk pregnancy, and has just moved from Los Angeles. Dr. Clare was very kind, informative, and knowledgeable. He ended up delivering my baby via c-section after more complications in my pregnancy. Dr Clare made the call to deliver my son early, thank god, and me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. I was super dramatic the whole surgery and him and the staff in the operating room were great. I highly recommend him. (Just ignore the staff at his front desk they have like literally no customer service skills. The doctors assistants there are super nice though, And the ultrasound tech as well.)

As one of the babies he's delivered, I can say 10/10 experience. He saved my life literally.read more

I came to write this review after hearing about allegations against Dr. Altman as I figured women…read morewho are researching a new OB/GYN would be interested in reading a recent review. This is solely my experience. I am not diminishing any one else's experience. I got pregnant in 2022 with twins and had the babies the same year and before I went to Dr. Altman I was being seen as an OB/GYN from Dr. Lacuna. My experience with lacuna was awful. He did not answer any of my questions and his replies would be "we'll see when we get there." After leaving three appointments rushed and frustrated with no answers from that doctor, I ended up doing research and switched to Dr. Altman. I Didn't know at the time that he was the head of the department, which would explain the great experience. Dr. Altman was a very patient Doctor Who would sit down in front of me and look me in the eye as he listened to my questions and answered as best he could. During appointments he was very thorough and explaining what he was doing, what he was about to do or going to do and making sure that he knew what my plans wanted to be (as far as birth). I did not feel in any way that Dr. Altman had gross misconduct, however, I will say he is very sensitive in that if you're having a hard moment, he will put his hand on your shoulder to comfort you. My husband was in the room with me at most appointments (I think I only went solo once and there was a nurse in the room with me and the doctor) and he never did anything untoward. My husband I thought he was very kind. I can see how if you are not touchy feely, that you would not appreciate the hugs or shoulder pats or even the eye contact but again nothing suspicious (and I am very suspicious of men) I hope those considering Altman do so. My experience was great and I also hope the ladies get the comfort and answers they are looking for. Best.

My appointment is now 2 weeks away and I even received a reminder text last week which I confirmed. Today they called and left a voice mail that my appointment has been cancelled because the Dr won't be there now. I am LIVID!!!! This is how women are treated in America !!!! We are pushed aside and told to WAIT when we are trying to take care of ourselves! SHAME ON THIS DR!!!!! I am a new patient because I left Sutter Heath over this SAME BEHAVIOR!!!! Nobody cares about women and their health. We live in the Bay Area of San Francisco and can not find OBGYN doctors to take care of us.

I saw Bouchard and Nambisan during what turned out to be a…read morehigh risk pregnancy. But I went 5 months under their care having every single one of my concerns completely dismissed by both doctors. It was only by the suggestion of another doc (Mathis) that I was referred to a specialist. There we found out I had a multitude of problems. Under the care of the wonderful specialist my baby was born and her life was saved. But I hate to think what would have happened if 1 had stayed. I was made to feel stupid and minimized at every visit. They never even looked at my test results, never gave me results. Never tested my urine in office. Sent me back to work even though was having contractions, could barely walk, raging bladder infection, vomiting and diarrhea. My urine tested positive but was again dismissed as nothing! I would NOT recommend this office to anyone. My life and my child's life were in danger being seen here. The receptionist were kind and friendly. The docs, beware!

This review goes out to Doctor Esther Tow-der:…read more I had a very disappointing experience with this OB/GYN. My appointment was scheduled for 3:30 p.m., but I was not seen until nearly 6:00 p.m. I understand that delays can happen in medical settings, especially in obstetrics, but waiting over two hours without meaningful communication or updates felt extremely unprofessional and inconsiderate of my time. When I was finally seen, the interaction itself was equally frustrating. The doctor's demeanor came across as dismissive and rude. I did not feel welcomed or respected as a patient. The exam was very minimal -- she listened to my lungs and checked the baby's heartbeat, but that was essentially the extent of the visit. There was no thorough assessment, no detailed discussion, and no proactive approach to my care. I had to advocate for myself and specifically request a Pap smear, which I believe should have been addressed without me having to push for it. Instead of feeling supported and guided, I felt as though my concerns were brushed aside. At several points, her responses made me feel unintelligent for asking questions, which is unacceptable in a healthcare setting where patients should feel safe and informed. I left the office feeling tired, hungry, aggravated, and honestly embarrassed. Prenatal care is supposed to be a reassuring experience, and this visit was the opposite. I hope this feedback encourages improvements in both time management and patient communication, because no patient should leave an appointment feeling dismissed or belittled.

One thing that I will say is that the wait will be excruciatingly long, especially if you're going in on a Thursday. When they tell you to allot 4-5 hours even though your appointment is early in the morning, they really do mean it. Another thing that I'd like to add that isn't necessarily a positive are all of the med techs that are "chismosas" (gossiping) in the hallway while people are in the local recovery room. They come in and out of the room to talk about other patients, especially in the hallway, where I don't think it's the most appropriate for others to hear. It did make me a bit uncomfortable, and I could see other patients were a little bothered by it as well. Nurse Linda was absolutely amazing as well as Dr. Vanjani. They were all very supportive and eased my nerves the entire time I was there.

Dr. Sawa is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. They took the time to listen to my concerns, explain everything clearly, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire visit. What truly stands out about Dr. Sawa is their genuine care for patients. They never rush appointments and always make sure all questions are answered. During such an important time in my life, having a doctor who is patient, attentive, and supportive makes all the difference. We highly recommend Dr. Sawa to anyone looking for an outstanding OB-GYN. You can truly trust that you are in excellent hands.

He has unbelievable bedside manner, I never felt rushed, and as a first time mom asking a million questions he never made me feel dumb for asking them.

Patient, kind, understanding and makes you feel very comfortable with his knowledge in medicine. I had an appointment today in the Modesto office with another OB (because Dr Sawa was out) and I very quickly realized how appreciative I am of him and his professionalism and will always recommend anyone his way.
