He has a way of listening and speaking that makes me feel like I matter, and my desires are worth listening to. He is an incredibly talented Dr and I am so grateful that I was able to have my second delivered by him. I don't know how this is possible but he doesn't seem to have been jaded by the medical field nor is he a slave to the system - he is one of a kind and an excellent advocate for women. I come from a family of Doctors so I say this with respect -- but most have an ego about them and I have felt patronized and dismissed by some. Dr Cobb is not that way at all. He is both confident and humble in his care. He made me feel safe and cared for. He has a way about him that is integrous and highly capable. If you are a mom carrying a piece of you into the world you probably feel both the heavy responsibility and fear of getting it right. Personally giving birth has been one of the most important moments of my life. Having the best Doctor by your side makes all the difference

Where should I start... After my early miscarriage last…read moreyear, I was devastated. I was trying to find an OB who was willing to offer extra care and tests before trying to conceive again. Other OBs did not think it was necessary since I was young and it was "only" my first miscarriage. I was too scared to try again until someone recommended Dr. Cobb. Dr. Cobb respects and truly understands my concerns, and he was willing to take extra steps to ensure my pregnancy was closely monitored. He made me feel that I had a certain level of control over my pregnancy, rather than simply being instructed. During delivery, my baby's heart rate was unstable for five hours, and I was unable to make further progress after reaching eight centimeters dilation. I asked whether it was time for an emergency C section. Dr. Cobb eased my mind and placed additional monitors to carefully track my baby's heart rate. My baby boy was ultimately delivered safely through a vaginal birth. I feel incredibly blessed to have had him as my OB throughout this pregnancy. Every visit made me feel respected, well cared for, and reassured. I would recommend him to everyone in San Diego!

Borrego Women's Health with Dr. Robert Segnit was a bad experience! He was "polite" enough but the appt was a total waste of time! He was snarky with me at the end & did NOT want to consider a pelvic congestion or venous issue as a source of chromic pelvic pain with the fibroids. 2 years later I am now at UCSD about to get UAE for fibroids & will probably need a STENT in the Left common Iliac vein. It took an MRA to diagnose. Over the last 2 yrs pelvic pain increased & pain/pressure in left leg veins increased~Generally an unwell feeling in the entire body. Thankfully UCSD gyno & UCSD IR listened to me & UCSD IR doc was an angel! No ego & a genuinely compassionate doc willing to explore further (b/c gyno also threw out a possible Endometriosis dx on the table) Dr. Robert Segnit (gyno) who was the colleague of Dr. Tracie Davis, is apparently retired now. Initially I wanted to see her, but she was booked, so I went with him. Maybe if I had seen the female doc she would've listened to me? But I doubt it b/c none of my other docs listened. I think male gynos & male IR for UAE are bad & non-empathetic. Male docs don't have the anatomy & cannot comprehend the severe & deep pain in the pelvis or the annoyance of bladder incontinence from bulky fibroid uterus. ***I had 2 older male docs who basically misdiagnosed me & had ZERO clue where the pain & pressure were coming from & did NOTHING for me to try to figure out WHY I was suffering. The male IR doc was not at this clinic. He was at {American Access Care~Dr. Zachary Rattner} Dr. Rattner was trying to tell me I didn't know the difference between uterine or ovarian pain & he didn't even know what PCOS was. He kept interrupting me every time I said "pain in the uterus". He refused to do UAE on my multiple fibroids b/c I wasn't "bleeding enough" & he thought the pain was probably in my ovaries. (umm well at UCSD I did show venous reflux bilaterally in the ovaries on the MRA but the pain in 2021 was dead center near, where my IUD was inserted) I think these older arrogant, male docs in their 60's or 70's are not up to speed or up to date with the current literature, research & diagnoses. May-Thurner & pelvic venous congestion DO exist & everything should be done for women to test for Iliac Vein compressions to rule that out. Some women may not be symptomatic, but for those of us who are symptomatic, we need the proper dx & tx!

I was originally at Scripps for my initial diagnosis but I wanted the best surgeon for my case so I turned to Dr. Varon.

It took 6 months to get the appointment and another 3 to have the surgery but I'm beyond happy with Dr Varon. She is a very pleasant person and a very competent doctor, in and out of surgery. I highly recommend her. She is very prompt with her communication and follow-up, and was always in a good mood with a nice reassuring smile every time I saw her. Most importantly for me, she listened to what was important to me and shaped the treatment plan accordingly. It's odd for me to provide a medical review but I do so in the hope Dr Varon can help you. She's truly fantastic. Post surgery follow up was also stellar and resulted in good referrals for me too. Thank you Dr Varon.

Disheartening Experience with Dr. Li Fan…read more I don't usually leave reviews for non food experiences, but I felt it was important to share my experience with Dr. Li Fan so that other expectant mothers know what to expect. Throughout my pregnancy, I often felt more judged than supported. Dr. Fan was very strict about weight gain and repeatedly emphasized that gaining more than 25 pounds was "excessive." Every pregnancy is different, and instead of encouragement or tailored advice, I often felt criticized for not fitting her idea of a "textbook" pregnancy. I was also required to complete multiple non-stress tests (NSTs) at a location that did not accept my insurance. When I brought this up, I was told I had no choice but to get the tests done there. It felt unfair and added more unnecessary stress during an already emotional time. My postpartum experience was equally disappointing. At my 6-week checkup, I mentioned that I had been celibate since giving birth and plan to continue without birth control, and Dr. Fan responded, "Men don't like to wait. They have needs." I was at a loss for words, the comment felt dismissive and inappropriate, especially during such a sensitive and vulnerable time. After my delivery (March 2025) , I also waited much longer than expected to be discharged. Dr. Fan didn't come by my hospital room until around 5-6 p.m. the day i was supposed to be discharged, which unnecessarily delayed my discharge and added stress during a time when I just wanted to be home with my baby. While I'm sure Dr. Fan has patients who appreciate her straightforward approach, my experience left me feeling unheard and unsupported. Compassion, understanding, and sensitivity are essential in women's healthcare. Unfortunately, those qualities were missing in my experience with Dr. Li Fan.

This is kind of lengthy and not necessarily negative however, i want to share my experience in…read morehopes it may help someone else who finds themselves in a similar situation. Back in 2022, after struggling with very heavy periods for years, Dr. Fan was able to diagnose me with multiple uterine fibroids. I had surgery shortly after, and the care I received during that process was excellent. Fast forward to 2025--I found out I was unexpectedly pregnant. I was very early, about four weeks along, and had to wait for my first ultrasound. A couple of weeks later, I began bleeding heavily and feared I was miscarrying. I called the office, had blood work done, and was told my HCG levels were high. When I repeated the test two days later, the office relayed through a front desk coordinator that my levels had "dropped" and I was miscarrying. This was incredibly difficult news to hear, and I later saw in my chart that my levels had not dropped significantly. I also feel strongly that sensitive information like this should always come directly from a licensed medical professional, not front office staff. When I returned for an ultrasound to make sure the miscarriage was progressing as expected, I was shocked and overwhelmed to learn that I was still pregnant--about 9 1/2 weeks along. The ultrasound also showed a large subchorionic bleed, though I was reassured that these often resolve on their own. I was prescribed progesterone and began taking it immediately, which initially helped, but when the bleeding worsened again and I asked to be seen urgently, I was told I would need to wait a couple of days for the next available appointment. Unfortunately, I miscarried that night at 10 weeks. I still carry many "what ifs" about whether pushing harder for immediate appointments or additional intervention could have made a difference. This is not meant as a purely negative review, but as encouragement to others: if you are pregnant and experiencing heavy bleeding, advocate strongly for yourself. Request to speak directly with your doctor, insist on being seen, and make sure your concerns are heard. While I remain grateful for the care I received in the past and for Dr. Fan's role in diagnosing and treating my fibroids, I've unfortunately lost a lot of trust during this experience. I am hopeful that by sharing my story, the office may be able to use it as a learning opportunity to improve communication and patient care and possibly help save someone else from experiencing a miscarriage in the future.

I was then told my situation was nothing and "i don't know what to do with you. get pregnant and your symptoms will lower. come back if you need a pap smear". Her demeanor and communication left me in utter shock and disappointment in the lack of care or compassion.

Her front staff is also incredible--especially Lucy, who I believe is the front desk manager. She is absolutely wonderful and so helpful! Lucy went above and beyond to assist my husband and me with all the necessary paperwork related to my pregnancy and our jobs. No matter how busy the office is, the staff always greets you with kindness and a welcoming attitude. I truly appreciate Dr. Tajran and her entire team. My first experience searching for an OBGYN was during the height of the pandemic in 2020, when I was expecting my first daughter, due in early 2021. Navigating a first-time pregnancy during such uncertain times was incredibly nerve-wracking, which is why I'm so thankful I found Dr. Tajran. Fast forward to early 2025--when I found out I was pregnant with my second baby--I initially saw a different OBGYN due to my work insurance. However, once my insurance changed, I made it a priority to return to Dr. Tajran, the doctor I completely trust. Just a few weeks ago, I had another successful vaginal delivery thanks to Dr. Tajran's incredible care. I've heard from many friends that they felt pressured into having C-sections, but I'm so thankful that Dr. Tajran always does her best to ensure a smooth, natural delivery whenever possible, avoiding unnecessary interventions or surgeries. During my first pregnancy, I developed kidney stones toward the end, and Dr. Tajran supported me through recovery and helped me have a wonderful delivery. My second pregnancy was high-risk and came with more complications, yet once again, Dr. Tajran went out of her way to make sure she personally delivered my baby and provided the attentive care I hoped and prayed for. At times, the wait for appointments can be long--but I genuinely don't mind. You never know what another patient might be going through, and I'm always reminded that those extra moments mean Dr. Tajran is giving each patient the time and compassion they deserve. I'm grateful to wait for a doctor who truly cares and is passionate about her patients. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Deena Tajran to any expecting mother. The journey throughout pregnancy is just as important as the delivery itself, and every mom deserves a doctor who has her best interests at heart. Dr. Tajran is that doctor--one of the most caring, compassionate, and dedicated people I've ever met. I will forever be thankful for the exceptional care she provided for me and my babies. If I'm blessed to have another child in the future, I can only hope that Dr. Tajran will still be practicing. "Thank you" will never be enough to express my gratitude for the two wonderful birth experiences and healthy babies she helped bring into the world. She truly is the best.
