Dr. Pourzand is the best. She is knowledgeable and professional. I had the best experience with her. Will highly recommend. Her office staff is also great. read more

My first and last experience with Dr. Pourzand was extremely disappointing. She was rude and dismissive and made me feel even more anxious during my very first pregnancy appointment. I waited undressed in the examination room for approximately 45 minutes. Eventually, a staff member came in and performed the ultrasound without any explanation!When Dr. Pourzand finally entered, she did not introduce herself or greet me, and she did not perform or review the ultrasound with me in a reassuring or thorough manner. She made alarming comments about the pregnancy without clearly explaining the findings, what they meant, or what the next steps should be. read more

Best doctor!! She helped me with my two pregnancies and I can't thank her enough. Very knowledgeable and supportive and professional doctor. And her team also is the most caring and best. Thank you all read more

I'm 63 and have lost nearly 50 lbs on a GLP-1. Of course with such significant weight loss, wrinkles started to appear in droves. So for the first time, I decided to try Botox. Dr Pourzand administered it into my forehead and around my smiles lines. Her artistry is amazing. I look so much more awake, uplifted and natural. I look like myself only way better! Dr. Pourzand is a genius!! read more

Dr. Parisa Pourzand is an incredible OB-GYN who made my wife's pregnancy and delivery such a positive, reassuring experience. She was always attentive, kind, and patient, making sure we felt informed and cared for every step of the way. Thanks to her support, both mom and baby are doing great. Her staff is also amazing--warm, professional, and always there to help. We are so grateful for everything Dr. Pourzand has done for our family. read more

I cannot recommend Dr. Pourzand enough! She delivered my first baby and made me feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. I was especially nervous due to my family history, but she took the time to talk through everything with me, ensuring I felt informed and supported. The night before my scheduled C-section, she even called me personally, which meant so much. On the day of the surgery, she did an incredible job, and I am beyond grateful to now have a healthy, perfect baby thanks to her expertise and care. Her entire staff is wonderful, and I especially appreciate Gayan at the front desk--she is so kind, efficient, and truly great at her job! If you're looking for an OB-GYN who is professional, compassionate, and skilled, Dr. Pourzand is the best choice! read more

Parisa Pourzand, M.D - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Glendale, California

Dr. Pourzand was the only doctor available to do my annual well woman exam before year end so I took the appointment. Here are the main issues with her: 1. Lack of good command of English: you really cannot understand what she is sharing with you. She reads through a test result without discussing what it means: good, bad, needs more investigation.... 2. She takes a simple annual pap smear test into other areas such as hormone therapy which again she takes blood sample in her office and schedules an ultra sound but then she says we need the result of mamogram. Why put the cart behind the horse? if the mamo exam is what is essential, should she not wait for that first? Also, my only complaint was foggy memory which at my age is not uncommon. There is plenty you can do with natural remedies much like her suggested 'plant based' hormones that are made by a compounding pharmacy that is not covered by insurance and also God knows what they put inside. Overall, I am definitely not comfortable or trusting what she says. Will look for a different Gynecologist. read more

This review is years overdue. I'll direct this to you, Parisa- you don't deserve the title. You gave me my first ever pelvic exam- and you left me so fearful and disgusted. You had no tact, no patience, no basic decency. You pointed at the ultrasound wand (which was an excessive tool for the exam I needed) laughed at my fear and asked me why I was worried stating"well this is smaller than a penis". You didn't know me, about my life or my sexual history. Your nurse had to help me off the bed as I was left shaking, and even she told me I was white as a sheet. Your way of practicing was vulgar and disappointing. I'm sorry for any other young woman who ever gets referred to you. read more

Can't say anything about the Doctor, because couldn't get to see her. This review is for their appoint system which at first seems like an amazing and practical option to book an appointment online without any friction. Only to find out it is not an appointment you book, but a "request" to book. Why put the appointment time as an option in the first place if it's likely not available !?! I received an email saying "appointment request confirmed" and it did say someone would get in touch with me shortly - which never happened. I called the office the day of the appointment right as they opened, according to their schedule- no one answered- before I headed over to Glendale. Since I didn't get a response and didn't want to be charged a "no show" fee, only to find out that the office was locked and when they finally picked up the phone, they tell me "sorry, you requested an appointment but we never confirmed it". Seriously a waste of time to book online, put info, and still have to wait for someone to call back. Don't say "book online" if it means "request info or request appointment" and add DO NOT SHOW UP unless confirmed! It's ridiculous this day in age with technology that writes itself and we still have to deal with this. Don't have an online booking system if you still need people to call in or be called! read more

Terrible attitude doesn't know what she's doing. Find someone caring and knowledgeable don't waste your time.

Like others have noted, Dr Pourzand has terrible bedside manner. She makes very little eye contact, didn't ask if it was ok for another person (no idea who she was) to watch my pap smear, and asked me "you haven't had an abortion, have you?" Luckily I've had no medical or sexual trauma but this was certainly the most violating experience I've had with a doctor. read more

Do NOT let her send your bloodwork/samples to Pacific Medical Lab. They are a scamming facility she likes to do business with. In my experience, they waited past my then insurer's cut-off date to send their bill. When they couldn't get money out of them, they somehow got a hold of my new provider's information, and tried billing them. When that didn't work, they started sending me bills for thousands of dollars, over a year after my visit to Dr. Pourzand. I called my old provider who managed to get Dr. Pourzand on the phone. She acknowledged thst this was the lab's error and promised to get things straightened out, yet this place is still hounding me for money and threatening to send the bill to collections. At this point, I believe they are in cahoots. Check out the reviews for both companies. Avoid, avoid, avoid! read more

Emailed and called in advance before making my appointment and they said they accept my insurance. They send me about 20 (I'm not even kidding) texts, emails, AND calls confirming my appointment. Excessive, but ok. I get there and they make me sign some paperwork, got it, good. Urine sample, got it, good. Make me wait 20 more minutes. Ok... I watch them as they treat an old woman rudely and mock her for not being able to spell her name. THEN they tell me they don't accept my insurance. What?!! They tell me an appointment would be $250 and an ultrasound would be another $250 (which I insisted was unnecessary since I was there for a consultation and discussion) which is absurd so I leave. Such a bummer and a bad, unprepared business. read more

Omggggg she is amazingggg the only doctor that ican recommend to every one i felt so happy and comfortable during my pregnancy thank her for every second of my visits and delivery read more

I came to Dr. Pourzand for a pap smear as I had had an entire exam with an ultrasound 6 months prior and being on Medicare, I can not have another full exam for 1 year. She stuck a probe in my vagina without my even knowing she would do this and basically billed me for a routine exam including an ultrasound, not a follow-up for a bad pap. Quest billed me for $500 and I reached out to her personally to no avail. I am now stuck for this bill as they billed a routine visit and Medicare would not cover. They billed me for a culture and sensitivity on my urine and a serology for venereal desease even though I did not present with any urine problems or symptoms of venereal disease. She never reached out to me. I am a nurse and worked in Gyn for 8 years. read more

Made an appt for this office, and to my surprise, I was given an appt fairly quickly, which i thought was super great! Theirs no garage or private parking only 2hr st parking, so good luck trying to find a spot! Once i entered the office, it was quite small, i checked in, and the girls at the front were super friendly, which is always a great plus! I waited about 20-30 mins to be seen. Once i was called in, i went into this very small room and was asked to place my things on a stool. It was def a 2 person room capacity. Finally got seen by Dr. Pourzand and she has a really nice bedside manner. She asked me a series of questions and asked for a full panel of blood work. In addition to getting a paps, i thought this was going great. My old obgyn always called me or sent me a link to where i could see my results, so i thought this would be the same. I had my appt in December of 2023. It is 1/19/2024 and I'm still waiting for my results, no one has called to follow up. The Dr. prescribed me some antibiotics for something, and everything seemed great. What i did find weird was that the girls at the checkout desk didn'tt ask to make a follow-up appt since i needed antibiotics. Usually, the dr follow up by phone or in person. Anyways, its january, i called on a tuesday 1/9/24 around 1240pm to get another prescription filled since the last one didnt work, and the receptionist who is from another office said the dr was done for the day and that they would see about getting this prescription filld the following day, so I waited. It's currently 1/19/24 and I've called 3x more times to get this prescription filled. They even charged me for a phone call appt with the same girl who answered the phone. I asked her if there was a different phone to reach the actual office and she said no it was only one dedicated line that takes the calls. I have not been able to speak with the dr since december and i have told the receptionist if she cant prescribe the same medication over the phone then she needs to give me an appt to see the dr in person and not charge me for a phone appt. I dont know why the message is not getting to Dr Pourzand but I told the receptionist that I would be writing a bad review based on their bad customer service. read more

Dr. Pourzand is phenomenal she saved my life and the life of my child. She is our hero! I had a rare condition during my pregnancy causing me to go into an emergency c-section at 33 weeks in most cases such as the one I experienced the mother and baby will not survive. She quickly showed up at St. Joseph's hospital at 2 am and went into action. I am so happy I chose her to be my doctor and also St. Joseph's hospital, they have an amazing NICU, ICU, and Labor delivery staff. My child is now 3 1/2 months and thriving. Thank you so much Dr. Pourzand from the bottom of our hearts. read more

The office staff is very welcoming and kind. Dr. Pourzand is amazing. She is very thorough and she doesn't speak down to you like some other doctors do. She is very knowledgeable and does everything she can to answer any questions you may have and put you at ease. I'm so lucky I found her!! read more

I can honestly say Dr.Parisa Pourzand is the best doctor! She delivered both of my girls and I couldn't have chosen a better doctor to deliver my babies. She is the most amazing knowledgeable,confident doctor ever. I wish there were more stars to give My gratitude is beyond words and I wish her good health and happiness in life! Thank you doctor read more

She is not a Dr that cares for your health.. she's more money hungry and tries to sell you medication.. She has a bad personality zero patience and not one to listen to your needs, questions or concerns.. She shuts you off if you have an opinion and thinks she's right.. Avoid her and do yourself a favor, find a new Dr..Very rude and impatient.. read more

This is by far the worst doctor I have ever encountered in my life. Very rude and lacks professionalism! As a pregnant woman, I expect to be treated with respect and with regards to my hormonal imbalance. However, this unprofessional doctor has treated me with everything EXCEPT respect. I do not even know how she gets to practice medicine when she has such filthy manners. She has also been racist to me and very hostile. I recommend you look for another gynecologist for the sake of your emotional and mental wellbeing!!!!! read more

I've been coming to Dr.Pourzand for many years, she was referred to me by my aunt who used to work for her. I have to say her office and staff improves every time I go there, they're welcoming, friendly and patient. (No pun intended haha) Dr.Pourzand is very knowledgeable and takes precautionary measures when diagnose her patients. She's extremely resourceful and will recommend the overall best treatment option for you. However, she will respect your decision regardless! I feel comfortable to talk to her about all of my concerns and she provides positive reinforcement. (Which I really love about her) I can't begin to express how professional her nurses are! Maritsa (I believe is her name) is an outstanding nurse, she should get a golden metal for her work! She's drawn my blood before several times and I have to say I DIDN'T FEEL ANY PAIN NOR DID I GET ANY BRUISING!! I wish every doctors office had a nurse like her! I'm looking at my arm as we speak, and it's been 2 days with no bruising... good job Maritsa! Front desk reception is a sweetheart (I didn't get her name) but overall happy with the staff! I wish I could give more stars but I definitely recommend coming to Dr.Pourzand, oh and did I mention she has 2 locations? The other ones in Beverly Hills so if you're shopping on rodeo drive and decide to get your hoohaaa checked, definitely recommend Dr.Pourzand! read more

STAY AWAY!!!!! PEOPLE take Time from their busy schedules to come write these reviews so the same thing doesn't happen to others/ loved ones. DOCTOR is immensely rude, unprofessional & will do everything to take as much $ as she can from you /ur insurance! SHE will not answer questions & will cut everything short! THAT IS NOT HOW A MEDICAL DOCTOR SHOULD BEHAVE! STAY AWAY! READ THE reviews, a lot of others posted same issue! read more

Dr. Pourzand delivered both of my children by C-section and I couldn't be happier. She is not only a great and a very knowledgeable doctor but an extremely caring person. I love her honesty. She goes above and beyond her duty to ensure her patient is comfortable during the pregnancy and after the delivery. The office staff are very professional and helpful with any requests in a timely manner. I'll definitely suggest everyone to go with Dr. Pourzand and experience what the real relationship should be between a doctor and a patient. read more

I recently moved and picked a female gyno to feel safe. I have had SA in the past. However that was not the case here. I waited about 45 minutes to get into the appointment, then I went to the room and they had me undress with the half gown, so I did and sat there half naked for about 30 minutes. I felt really uncomfortable. Then the doctor came in and was very rude. I was having pain in my chest and she just rolled her eyes and blamed it on my anxiety. So I said okay and brushed it off, then the laid me down for the exam and without any warning, put the metal thing in. It was very painful. I've never experienced pain like this at my old gyno after going there for years. I told her "it's hurting me" she then put it in further and I tensed up and told her again, its hurting really bad. She had me cough to "relax" and put the pap smear in without warning so it started hurting worse and at this point I was in a state of panic and shock. Any other gyno would communicate and make you feel safe and comfortable, especially if you are a victim of SA. She left the room quickly and I was balling my eyes out. I then went to check out with tears rolling down my cheeks, I couldn't even stay to get my referral. I left crying my eyes out. Cried all the way home, was shaking and felt violated. I'm not one to complain, but this is not right. No one should leave feeling this way. read more

The best gynecologist I had , I tried so many but I really love doctor Pourzand, very professional, caring and knowledgeable. Very nice office staff. I defiantly going back to her , not only she is one of the best doctor she is a nice and kind person. and highly recommend her. I read some of reviews I was wondering how come they disrespect this doctor and her employees not true at all. read more

Dr. Pourzand is absolutely one of the best doctors I ever had. She delivered both of my children by C Section and I couldn't be any happier. She is straightforward with her patients which I absolutely love. She gives you all the information you need to know, what is the next step and what will be covered the next visit. All my Pre-natal and postnatal visits for both of my children were nothing but wonderful. She is concerned about your well being and listens to you very carefully and addresses all your concerns. I never waited more than 5 minutes in the waiting room and had never any issues making an appointment. Gabbie and Maritza are awesome and very responsive to emails and phone calls. All the necessary scheduling for the hospital was done by her and since it was during the Covid-19, she was very understanding and made sure I am not stressed about the delivery and the procedure. She even gave all my prescriptions in advance so I won't have to go anywhere after delivery to get my prescriptions. If you want to have a doctor that gives you honest answers and knows what she is doing, then you better go see Dr. Pourzand. If you are expecting a baby and want to get great care, go see Dr. Pourzand, and lastly if you want to have a C Section but are scared of the procedure, make sure you go to her, cause she is nothing less than an Artist, you won't even see your scar in few months. Also, If you are a high-risk pregnancy like I was, you will be in good hands. I guess what I am trying to say is she is AWESOME and I would not go to any other doctor than her. One last thing, since billing at certain places are always problematic, her new billing company is amazing! They are on top of things, they communicate with you directly by mail or phone calls or they ask the doctor's Front office to notify the patient about things they might want to know. Overall great experience. read more

I had a first visit/ preg confirmation appointment at 9:15am. I had to wait for more than an hour in the small waiting room to get in. They have some kind of contract with a vaginal rejuvenation company and kept playing the same exact 30 second clip on their tv on loop. It was giving me a massive headache, it was torture. Then they did not allow my husband to go with me even though it's our first baby and I want him to listen to our baby's heart beat because of "covid". So, I took off and got my money back. I don't want my first pregnancy experience to be a bad one. read more

What a terrible experience. This was my first visit to Dr Porurzands office for a breast exam. The staff here is cold and standoffish. During my visit with her I had to tell her the same thing 4 times! She clearly wasnt listening and didnt care. After the exam I went to pay my copay and the receptionist told me that I owed over $100 for my office visit. I asked her why I didn't owe my normal $25-$35 for my visit. Her and Dr Pourzand proceeded to lecture me on the difference between a copay and detectable. I explained to them that I am not an idiot and am well aware of the difference. They were incredibly rude and condescending to me. I've never had to pay more than my copay for any OBGYN appointment before. They ended up charging me my $35 copay and then told me that I would be billed for the rest and I would have to figure it out on my own. Now I am reading other reviews and Im upset that I didnt do more research before going. They seem to be money hungry and truly do not care about people. read more

I saw the doctor on a Wednesday. She was supposed to send a prescription to the pharmacy for an urgent condition i had, but never did. I called the office the next day and spoke to the doctor herself. She told me she will send the prescription right away but again she didn't. Tried contacting them on Friday but they were closed. Obviously she doesn't care about her patients enough to bother to send their prescriptions out. read more

I've been seeing Dr.Pourzand for over 2 years and all I can say is that she's such an amazing doctor and she cares so much and explains everything in detail and she makes her patience feel so comfortable. As for the office staff, I stopped by today as I had a question and Gabby helped me resolve a billing situation and all I can say is that she was the sweetest and handled things for me in a very professional way! AMAZING customer service was provided and if you're looking for a caring doctor definitely go see Dr.Pourzand. read more

The Dr. Is so amazing and caring and she also did my c section she made sure I had no bad scaring and gave me directions to be able to take care of myself as well as always making me feel safe and well taken care I'm 23 years old and it helps a lot being young. As well as her back office staff Maritza very organized and clean. read more

I've been very happy with Dr Pourzand. She is thorough and doesn't make me feel like I'm being rushed out the door. Her staff is very caring as well. Definitely recommend Dr Pourzand read more

Unfriendly staff, services!!! Long waiting list and will never schedule you right away..lots of schedule changes. If you have any questions or concerns keep them for yourself because.. doctor won't answer you! Extremely unfriendly, rude, stressful staff and doctor!!!!! read more

I did not have a wonderful experience here. This will be a pretty personal review, just a fair warning. My first and only experience was last year when I needed a refill on birth control (used to control painful periods, not for contraception-this will be relevant in a moment) and I was concerned because I had skipped several cycles. I'm pretty open and honest about what's happening downstairs, so I was really surprised when the whole staff looked at me like I was nuts when I told them I was skipping periods, but had no chance of pregnancy. Literally. I was still a virgin at that time and told them so, so unless I pulled a virgin Mary, no way is a baby gonna be in there! They checked my urine and used it for a pregnancy test... -FACEPALM- Come on people!!! I really did not appreciate being treated like an idiot. Not to mention they charged me for it...grrr....They did an ultrasound to check for fibroids and stuff, and for the non-existent baby they were determined to find, but everything was ok, thank god. I think she's a knowledgable doctor but she's really rough on virgin lady-parts and her staff's manners leave something to be desired. Also their billing is way slow; I just paid my last bill from them almost one year after the appointment. Safe to say I'm not going back. read more

Dr. Parisa is amazing and personal. My first time experience with her was wonderful. Her staff was very helpful and sweet. Thanks everyone. read more

Dr. Pourzand is the best doctor I can ever imagine! She is very caring and sweet. She explains things very well and helped me go through some difficult times. I appreciate all of your hard work! I highly recommend her! read more

You will always receive another bill after your visit even if you have the best coverage and even if you asked them over and over if everything is covered by your insurance. Ask the last time I was there I had to pay my $10 co-pay so I handsets the girl a $20. She then came back and said they don't have change and I can leave it for my next visit. At that point I'm thinking what if I change doctors and don't come back and said no. So I had to pay with my card which then I was told I'll be charged $2 but it was better than leaving my $10 there. The staff absolutely does not bother to send your work to a lap that is covered by your insurance so then you will almost always receive another bill from the lab that got your tests as well. I owe $177 right now to a lab which they didn't bother checking to see if I'm covered by that one even though they do work with other labs that it covers me! Just a horrible experience and worst customer service I have ever seen. read more
