So keep in mind he will let you talk and talk and not let you know that you're paying per minute.

He's a creep and pushing pellets because of the upsell which he'll deny up and down and spend lots of time telling you he's not making a dime off of that meanwhile, you're paying for his bullshit of lies. Beware of this guy find someone else. He's a crook. He's completely uninformed and outdated a pompous ass. His assistant Chris will lie through her teeth and promise you that if you're not satisfied you won't be charged, I made it clear. I didn't want pellets. I paid $500 and all I got was a late egomaniac that tried to push pellets on me and never even gave me an exam. The guy is a joke. I've never seen blown up certificate so big on a wall before. You spend money, listening to him, brag about himself and push pellets. These positive reviews about him are freaking hysterical. I wouldn't doubt if they were made up by his assistant Chris under different yelp accounts. I can't wait to see what his comeback on my review about him will be. Haha! I'm sure it'll be very entertaining.. just do yourself a favor and run from this charming used car sales pellet pusher.

    Just wanted to give a "big" thank you to the clinic's new PA, Victoria! If you are looking for…read morecompassionate care, great bedside manner, and a thorough annual exam, she's a great option as Dr Nish is usually booked solid. I needed a polyp removed (no big deal) and a uterine biopsy. I was absolutely terrified going into this procedure (please, ladies, don't go on Reddit!). Did it hurt? Yes, but she got me through the procedure very quickly and with lots of kindness and care. It wasn't as bad as I expected!

    I felt the need to write this review to share my personal experience so other women know what to…read moreexpect. I chose Dr. Nish very intentionally after hearing wonderful things about him. I did extensive research and spoke to many women in the area because it was extremely important to me who would deliver my baby, especially as a first-time mom. In the beginning of my care, he was kind and reassuring, and we genuinely felt comfortable. That meant a lot to me, because trust and safety are everything during pregnancy. Unfortunately, near the end of my pregnancy (around 38 weeks), a disagreement about something in our birth plan regarding delayed cord clamping shifted the tone of our relationship with Dr. Nish. When my husband mentioned that our midwife had shared different information, the conversation no longer felt collaborative and instead felt tense and dismissive to us. During that appointment, I recall statements that made me feel that outside input was not being considered, and we were told more than once that we should consider finding another provider. Hearing that at 38 weeks pregnant was deeply unsettling. At that stage, transferring care is extremely difficult, and I had already learned that other OBs were not accepting new patients that late in pregnancy. The situation left me feeling unsupported and very vulnerable. I fully respect that physicians are entitled to their clinical opinions. What was difficult for us was the tone and the feeling that asking questions or referencing other perspectives was not welcome. In my view, birth care should allow space for respectful dialogue and informed consent, even when there are differences in opinion. Additionally, I paid a fee for completion of my EDD disability paperwork, and it was submitted with errors. After going through the process of correcting it, I requested a refund but was told that would not be provided. This added to my overall disappointment. We went from feeling safe and supported to feeling anxious and abandoned in a single appointment. I'm sharing this so that other patients understand how disagreements may be handled, especially late in pregnancy when options can be limited. I truly wish our experience had remained collaborative.

    I don't normally post Yelp reviews but admittedly use them. This is a long overdue Yelp review!…read more Just for background, I am an ER RN and I have worked with many of the OB/GYN doctors locally. I have also personally been dissatisfied with many of the local OB/GYN doctors and am highly skeptic of their Yelp reviews. As they say, ask a nurse for a doctor referral. Here is my deeply honest opinion. Dr. Troy Williams is one of the BEST doctors I have come across as a doctor/nurse relationship. I changed and skipped around before finding Dr. Williams as I was dissatisfied with care from others. He is the most compassionate, kind, sincere doctor I have on my health team. If you would like a female, he employs a great Nurse Practitioner too. I can assure you, he spends time, makes your health a priority, and spends the time to answer all your questions (no matter how long it takes). You will be so happy when you contact his exceptional staff, NP and Dr. Troy Williams. You are treated like I wish all doctors would treat patients. Take it from a nurse!

    There are truly not enough words to express how grateful I am for Dr. Navi and his incredible team…read more From the beginning of my pregnancy through the delivery of my daughter, Lorelai, I felt cared for, supported, and genuinely valued as a patient. Dr. Navi is an exceptional physician who combines knowledge, professionalism, and compassion in a way that immediately puts you at ease. Throughout my pregnancy, he took the time to listen to my concerns, answer every question, and ensure that both my baby and I received the best possible care. During some stressful moments, his calm demeanor and expertise gave me confidence and reassurance when I needed it most. I also want to give special recognition to Sonia and Brittney at the front desk. They are absolutely amazing. Every phone call, appointment, and interaction was met with kindness, patience, and genuine care. They always made me feel welcome and were incredibly helpful with scheduling, paperwork, and any questions I had along the way. Their warmth and professionalism made such a difference during my pregnancy journey. What sets this office apart is that everyone truly cares. I never felt like just another patient. I felt heard, respected, and supported every step of the way. Bringing my daughter into the world was one of the most important moments of my life, and I am so thankful that Dr. Navi and his team were part of that journey. If you are looking for an OBGYN who is compassionate, knowledgeable, and surrounded by an outstanding team, I cannot recommend Dr. Navi highly enough. Thank you, Dr. Navi, Sonia, Brittney, and the entire staff for helping make my pregnancy and delivery experience such a positive and memorable one. You will always hold a special place in my heart.

    I showed up for my app 10-12 min early and after being asked for my driver's license and insurance…read morecard, was presented with about 6 sheets of forms - all standard and expected - except for one: The "Credit Card Authorization" form asked for my credit card info for them to keep on file and charge as they saw fit. I handed the forms back to the lady, was called back, and told the "credit card authorization" form was required to be completed. I explained I was well insured and had completed all of the other forms and those specific to "responsible party" and was uncomfortable writing my credit card number down on a sheet of paper for them to KEEP on file. The lady next to Brittany said that "this was required and their practice's policy." I explained why I was not comfortable with this policy and this was the first time it was brought to my attention, and if this was their practice's policy, they should inform patients and before they are standing at the front desk - waiting to be seen - in a room full of people. Brittany went to go speak w/ the "Billing" person, came back and said "sorry, they will not make an exception." Mind you, there is no issue for me to pay a co-pay in person with cash or a card or debit card, but to hand write my credit card number down on a piece of paper and have it "stored" on file is not normal. I expressed my disbelief that I had waited for this appt and now they would not see me unless I wrote down my credit card info - on a piece of paper - for them. So, I left. I was now, in my car, in the parking lot, and was going to go back inside and insist to speak w/ the "billing" person. Not wanting to make a scene - I was literally in tears at this point - I called and spoke with Brittany. She said the "billing person was Sabrina" (who - of course - is on the phone with an insurance co. her to have Sabrina phone me - because this was a really, really bad experience. First, for most women - a gyno appt is very personal, intimate, and invasive. For many - this type of appt can cause anxiety and distress. As a person with PTSD, I fall into both categories, and had to mentally prep myself for this appt., at this new facility, with people I had never met before and have them look up my privates. Yet, I was prepared, got there early, completed their paperwork, and did everything as asked, except provide personal financial info - my credit card - on a piece of paper. After all - what is the purpose of insurance - in my case - we are blessed to have the best of the best insurance - Motion Picture Anthem Blue Cross - and in addition to standard "person with financial responsibility" forms - in this case, it was me - this office REQUIRES you to give them your credit card and authorize them to charge it at their discretion. That is NOT standard practice. I have seen doctors in and outside the UCLA/Anthem Blue Cross/Motion Picture System, and never once been asked to leave my credit card number on file. And if this is something this practice REQUIRES, in order for a person to be seen, they should advise and disclose this to the person BEFORE they have waited weeks for an appt and are standing at the desk. I began to home when Brittany called back asking if I had left the parking lot yet (I said "yes") then she said she had talked with Sabrina and "she had made an exception for me and would like me to return for my appt and be seen today." Huh? I am truly in shock at this point. Seriously? I told her, "no." I do not feel comfortable nor safe now." She - Brittany - was very nice, but I made it clear that I was not going to return and was going to let my doctor know about this - "requirement" - and how it's sprung on you at the desk and that despite having proof of being well-insured with the best insurance one can have, it came down to give-us-your-credit-card-and auth to charge it at will or-you-wont-be-seen. I got home, decided to call the facility back and went through phone prompts. #4 was for "Billing." It's funny that when pressing #4, the recording said "This extension no longer exists." I am not expecting to receive a call back from Sabrina or Dr. Navi Navizadeh who is supposed to be the practice's owner and doctor. If this practice specializes as a "walk in clinic" and demands payment or access to my personal credit card before being seen - it's not the place for me and most people. Other people, I see, now, have written negative yelp reviewers about improper billing and difficulty with getting issues with the "Billing" person at this place resolved. Giving any doctor or authorization to go ahead and charge - at their whim - your card - for any amount and at any time - is very concerning. Because oftentimes, we see a doctor, get a bill a few weeks later, then a few weeks after that, we get an "EOB" - Explanation of Benefits - which comes straight from our insurance co and often shows a "balance due" of "0" or far less than the bill. That's what we owe. NOT what Dr. Navi bills for
