She has been with me through both my pregnancies, which were a bit complicated to say the least. Dr. Bergman took the time to help me understand everything going on in my pregnancies, she took every precaution to assure I delivered 2 healthy and happy babies. Both experiences could've been extremely scary but with her by my side I knew I was in experienced hands. I can honestly say if my care were with another provider the outcome would not have been so positive and in my favor. I hope you have the opportunity to experience the incredible care of Dr. Bergman and her staff, because you will not find anyone better.

I must warn however, that if you have any sort of complex needs as a patient such as hormonal assistance, unique situations, or are looking for a second opinion, this woman is not fit to help you. I came in to see her as a new patient because my previous OB had moved away and as soon as it was apparent to her that I had other questions about my health that were more than just the token/routine new patient discussions, she literally answered my questions and concerns with condescending responses like, "well listen, I've only just met you" and "I mean I could look at your history, but you're only a new patient" as if those are good enough reasons for her to totally brush off my concerns that are affecting my DAILY well-being. I was appalled by the way she treated me. I have never felt such astonishment that a doctor seemed to care so little for her patients. The way she treated me was rude, careless, and frankly, ethically irresponsible. I left the appointment feeling like she was simply gaslighting me, further damaging my self esteem when it comes to advocating for myself and the complex care that I need as an individual. As I mentioned before, I'm sure others who are in good health have seen Mindy Plotkin and had simple seamless appointments with her, but I strongly advise against seeing her if you are in need of anything more than standard basic feminine care. I will always remember the hurt and helplessness I felt after seeing her. It is something that can be permanently damaging on one's search for better health and her demeanor and attitude as a doctor was simply reckless.

I saw Dr. Oko and I was only five weeks pregnant... Usually…read morepeople have to wait and if they feel that there's a problem, and they're told to go to the emergency room. But he had a beautiful open schedule and I saw him when I was seeing some concerning discharge and blood. He is Young beautiful doctor. With beautiful caring eyes. My experience with being pregnant in the past has not been pleasant. I come to him after having three miscarriages in the past year; Therefore he is dealing with someone who is paranoid, extra cautious, and at this point I am doubtful. Before him I had Dr. Wada... Who at every single appointment would only tell me that I really need to get a Covid shot for the greater good... he even told me this after my miscarriage. At my five week appointment Dr. Oko never mentioned it. I was relieved. I was prepared and I had my guard up to hear the same push for Covid vaccines, but he did not do that to me. He only patiently listened to each and every experience I had on every miscarriage. Typically people do not get abdominal ultrasounds when they are so early along in a pregnancy. But I'm kind of scared to get a vaginal ultrasound, because my last miscarriage the baby measured out to the exact same weeks and day as the size when I discovered the baby was no longer living. Coincidence? Maybe... but like I said I am now paranoid. Dr. Oko said he would try the abdominal first. He saw on the screen everything he needed to see including the heartbeat. Because of you so small I told him I don't see the heartbeat how do you see it and his response was "I have trainEd eyes" he then made it so that the screen would show the heartbeat... I cried happy tears. (Again, comparing, Dr. Wada refused to do an abdominal when I was nine weeks pregnant... he wouldn't even try the abdominal first. ) I feel that Dr. Oko is a very caring, sincere, doctor. He scheduled me to come back in two weeks. That day is today. And I am excited to now go to his office. I am so glad that he's been assigned as my doctor. He told me he's going to do his best to bring me my rainbow baby. As many of my rainbows have faded away. He deserves this five star review. I hope after everyone hears how great he is, his schedule does not fill up and become too busy, because I lived how available he was when I felt I needed to go to the office right then and there. But if you have struggled with losses, and have felt that your doctor didn't truly feel sad for you, you are going to want your next pregnancy in the care of Dr. Oko.

At one point, I was (thiiiiis close) to asking her to pleeeeeeaaaase shut the heck up but I was saved by the bell when my name was called. Behind the door in the receiving/prep room it looks and sounds like a Detroit assembly line. Nurses/techs are quickly moving hither, thither and yon at blinding speed, loudly speaking to patients and each another and lowering gurneys, with patients onboard for the ride, with audible "thunks". (They even return sedated patients back into the prep room after their procedure right there in front of God and everybody! I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own two eyes.) Yes, the prep room has privacy curtains but they're not fully closed so neither your privacy nor dignity are their concern. *Truly, there is nothing even remotely comforting or calming whatsoever about being in the prep room, where efficiency at all costs presumably reigns supreme.* To whit, I saw the physician that would perform my procedure greet a patient, then see them taken to the surgical suite, perform the procedure, return and greet another patient from whom he was removing cancerous polyps in his colon (I know this because as I mentioned before, everyone can hear everything in the prep room), perform the procedure and return to the prep room for me--all within the span of 25-30 minutes! Like I said, efficiency reigns supreme! In the surgical suite I was briefly acknowledged by the doctor performing my endoscopy and no one else. The anesthesiologist walked over, checked my IV line and I asked him if he was using propofol to which he literally grunted in the affirmative, then walked away while a surgical tech unceremoniously placed an oral bite block in my mouth (no explanation, just ruthless efficiency). The anesthesiologist returned, juiced me up with a fresh dose of "Milk of Amnesia" and down I went. I woke up in the prep room after obviously being wheeled back under sedation in front of the other patients-in-waiting, my "privacy" curtain hurriedly "closed" and I was told to get dressed. (For all intents and purposes she might as well have told me to hurry up and clear out.) The physician arrived at my bedside (gurneyside?) and provided me with the paperwork and photos of my procedure, asked if I had any questions, to which I had none because I was still a bit foggy, and promptly beat feet for the next patient. Efficiency at all costs. Seriously, it was a dystopian wonder to behold. I would not have been surprised in the slightest if the shady doctor from the Simpsons walked in and said, "Hiiii, everybody!" Yes, it's like that. One bright note: the nurse who ran my IV, Stephanie, did a superior job! Quick, virtually painless (really just felt like a tiny pinprick on the top of the skin), no bruising and only the smallest dot on my hand afterwards. Give her a raise--she's fantastic!
