Once she left the room, the Assistant was very rude when I had questions as if she was too busy to make sure I was clear. She gave me a copy of orders and a location to take the papers. Then she said she'll call me to schedule for biopsy appt. Then ignored me. no big deal, I called to find out that radiology didn't have the machine for DEXA. I messaged Dr Kohatsu on the portal about the machine not there. Asked if there was another place. The Assistant messaged me back telling me to find a location and let them know. I called my insurance for a location a few days later I received info. So, I sent the info on the portal. Then I get a message from Jaynie telling me to get a fax number. I said please feel free to call and get it, I was currently dealing with cardiology appts for surgery next week. If she could get the info I'd appreciate it. She messaged me again telling me to get the fax and get back with them. That was a First time an assistant refused to assist. I just called my primary care doctor and asked if he could order the DEXA and gave him the info the insurance gave me. In 1 hour, I was being called by the imaging center to schedule appt. Why this assistant couldn't do that I don't know, but I'm not going to fight with her just to see Kohatsu. New Gynecologist for me.

I didn't feel like he was ever rushing out appointments which was nice. I also liked that he wasn't too over the top with lots and lots of ultra sounds if it wasn't necessary. Midwife Chris ended up delivering my baby. It was an amazing experience, she really was incredible, and I hope I can have her deliver my next baby as well. I feel like I didn't thank her enough for being as good as she was. My whole birth experience was really awesome, especially as a first time mom Will be using them again in the future

    Dr. Capetenakis misdiagnosed my Stage IV Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis. I was referred to Dr…read more Capetenakis by a functional medicine doctor, and was hoping that by establishing care with a "boutique medical practice", I would get the care that I so desperately needed. Long story short, I ended up having an excision surgery for Stage IV Endometriosis, and it was so bad that I also ended up needing a bowel resection. For being told multiple times during my visits that my pain was due to ovulation, my fibroids weren't an issue (he had women with 12cm fibroids get pregnant), and that the developing cysts on my ovaries were nothing to be concerned about, it was a genuine shock that my situation was so dire. My doctor that did the excision surgery shared that I had a life expectancy of 5-6 years if I had not been treated. With regard to the office experience, it is a shock that his office does not send out appointment reminders. According to his staff, they are too small. Given that my dog groomer, acupuncturist, and my therapist all manage their own schedules and send automated appointment reminders without issue, that is definitely an area of improvement. Especially when I was charged a $50 no show fee for an appointment that I never scheduled. All in all - they tried. However, when a patient is far too complex they should be referred out to another provider, not told that everything is fine and to move on. If it were his family, I doubt he would have taken the same approach as he did with me.

    I would strongly caution anyone considering Dr. Mazerai's office. My experience as her patient has…read morebeen consistently disappointing and, frankly, dangerous. Lost Medical Records: The office changed filing systems and completely lost my medical history. This means they no longer have a record of my care, including my miscarriage and pre-existing conditions. Inadequate Care: At my annual exam last year, the nurse practitioner (who has since left--like many others at this office) failed to perform a Pap smear despite my history of abnormal, cancerous cells. This is a serious oversight. Unacceptable Scheduling Practices: I proactively scheduled my annual well-woman exam months in advance for October 2025, only to be told today that Dr. Mazerai has decided to schedule a surgery on that date. I was then told the soonest I could be seen would be sometime in 2026. To leave a patient with pre-existing conditions without care for a year and a half is inexcusable. Unprofessional Staff: The person who called to cancel my appointment was rude, dismissive, and unhelpful. The lack of compassion or professionalism only adds insult to injury. Chronic Staffing Issues: The practice no longer has a nurse practitioner on staff, which speaks volumes about their inability to maintain qualified personnel.

Now I have to wait 20 mins again . I am trying to see the doctor .

    In March 2016 I went to Dr Adib due to unexplained increase in menstrual flow. She did the normal…read morepap and well women exam. I was told that I needed to get an ultrasound, as well. Following the ultrasound I was told that I had a hormone disorder, unusual thickness in uterine wall that would lead me to having an increased risk of cancer if I didn't get on some form of birth control, and an unusual cyst. I trusted everything Dr Adib had to say and got on Provera. A month later I was in severe pain in my abdomen (assuming it was from Provera, I went back). Dr. Adib did another pap smear and told me to get another ultrasound. Again, trusted her "professional" opinion. Both the insurance and myself were billed for several things that should not have been done that I had to speak to the manager about to get removed. That was very fishy. And today almost 2 years after, I went to a different OBGYN with Scripps since my insurance changed. The OBGYN said 1. She had never even heard of Dr Adib and Venus Women's in all her time as an OBGYN (all fine, but here's the kicker... she said 2. The records show my hormone levels were perfectly fine. 3. The cyst was a normal cyst that comes and goes every month. 4. I should have never been prescribed Provera and especially not for 2 years. 5. She failed to mention the possibility of polyps and or fibroids and the treatment (which was in plain site on the ultrasound). Not being a doctor, I didn't understand the language. Now, moving forward, my new OBGYN wants me to have an ultrasound and hysteroscopy to check for polyps/fibroids and get me off of Provera. I would not recommend Dr. Adib. There's seems to be some fishy stuff going on with billing practices and diagnosing of patients for stuff that they don't have. Tempted to report but have no idea of where to even go with that.

    Wonderful prenatal care experience. Terrible birth and postpartum experience. If it wasn't for my…read morefamily intervening and hospital transfer not sure if my baby would be here today... Kayti allowed me to be in active pushing for over 4 hours and expressed no concerns. My family pulled her aside on two occasions expressing their concerns regarding the prolonged time and belief that my baby was in jeopardy. Kayti insisted that it was completely safe for me to continue pushing. My family had to intervene and call 911 against her recommendation to get me to the hospital. Upon arrival, the hospital team catheterized within seconds. Kayti and team tried to do a catheterization multiple times at home and were unable to do so. My delivery and its aftermath revealed multiple critical health concerns which were related to a high stress prolonged birth: my baby's cord blood showed excess acidity, indicating high stress levels and posing a risk of brain damage; my baby's glucose levels were low, requiring 24 hours of monitoring; and my baby had difficulty regulating his body temperature, dropping as low as 94 degrees Fahrenheit, necessitating placement under a heating lamp. All these complications relate directly to a stressful and mismanaged labor.

    No words can truly describe the experience I had with Kayti but I will try my best to write it out…read more I was referred to Kayti from my doula Rosie. She was the first Midwife and the only midwife I called to interview. I instantly knew that she was going to be my midwife. The prenatal care that I had with Kayti was remarkable. My appointments with her were more than clinical. My husband and my toddler were able to come to the appointments. I truly felt that Kayti listened to everything I had to say. She really got to know me as a whole person medically and personally. Which is really needed when you are planning an intimate home birth. During my labor Kayti and her student, Amy were there for me every step of the way. I was never scared at any point of the birth. I put all my trust in them and felt supported the entire time. This says a lot because my labor was over 48 hours and I ended up transferring to the hospital because baby did not want to descend into my pelvis. I believe that Kayti did everything she could for me and my baby boy. When she told me that we needed to transfer. I knew it was the right decision. Even then, I felt like my baby and I were safe. We then transferred to the hospital and Kayti stayed with me and advocated for me until I had to go back for a cesarean. Post natal care was just as amazing. Since I did not get to have the birth that I had planned at home, Kayti planned a rebirth and a bone closing ceremony for me at my home at our last meeting together. That was exactly what I needed emotionally and spiritually. This just shows how thoughtful and loving Kayti is. My baby boy didn't come into this world as expected, but it was his own unique story and Kayti was apart of this unforgettable experience. I am forever grateful for her and Amy.
