It can be tough to find a good OB-GYN when you are past your childbearing years. This practice is the nicest doctor's office I have ever seen. Prompt care, clean cozy environment and last but not least great fancy coffee drinks. Not to mention, a fantastic bedside manner from the husband and wife doctor/medical team. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! I came here with an urgency/emergency. I had a Bartholin cyst the size of an egg in my "lady bits" that was caused by sloppy post-procedure negligence after a colonoscopy at CHOMP. I HATE CHOMP. Expensive, uncaring, hard to get appointments, patients treated like walking #s and $s, did I mention expensive?!?! We received a, over $13,000 ER bill for a migraine headache! How do an IV and a few shots add up to over 13k? I called CHOMP's OB-GYN dept to make an appointment AFTER I described the hell I was going through (due to their negligence) the Ad Min I was talking to said: "We can get you in the last week of April (it was the 1st week of Dec 2019) if it would help you out." Ugh, did you not hear that I have a cyst that is infected, has had to be drained 2x and the antibiotics are making me violently ill and throwing up?!? My husband lost 2 days of work already and I am living in a hell!!" She told me if it was "bad enough" I should go to the ER!!! I was dumbfounded and asked, "there is NOTHING between waiting months with an infected abscess for MONTHS and grossly expensive ER visits that completely debilitate me?!?" The answer was "No, it is either ER or April. That is ALL we can do." I called another great doctor and small practice, Dr. Terry Franklin's office and they recommended LAiMA. It was 3 days later and due to my 1-star review on Google that a supervisor from CHOMP called me to "help" me get an appointment in a more "timely" way. I told her I already found an amazing practice and that I will not remove my 1 star because it still stands that CHOMP fumbled this and my health. I got in the next day at LAiMA and they quickly came up with a treatment plan. Vlad REALLY LISTENS and wants to work with you rather than talking at you like most doctors do. I told him and his wife "I just feel poisoned." They proactively listen and let me know that they will not blow me off and believe me. When the fluid in the abscess was cultured, it turned out that I was 100% correct that CHOMP caused the cyst because there was e.coli present in the cyst that is usually only present in the large intestine. I now have concrete proof this was caused by CHOMP. It was a very unfortunate way that I discovered this amazing practice but I am SUPER grateful I did. I look forward to being a patient for many years to come. I have already recommended the practice to other women. Normally I would not discuss negative reviews in a positive one but feel I would remiss if I did not point out that people that attack this doctor think that CHOMP has their best interests in mind. They could not be more wrong. First off, CHOMP is a huge, rich and therefore powerful hospital that has a vested interest in eliminating any and all competition. 2nd, IF and only IF there is a shred of truth to their claims, does it not occur to them there might be a good reason he changed hospitals? He HAS to be accountable. He has to follow the law and not disclose things he has seen/experienced and or had patients see/experienced at CHOMP. If he did HE would be guilty of slander and liable. Some times doctors have to save people from themselves. I have "first hand The medical "system" in this country is broken and my recent experience has me grateful that there are still small, private practices like this one serving the community. If CHOMP had it their way, I would be medically tortured for months. The "facts" these neg reviewers cite are nothing short of the legal definition of SLANDER and LIABLE. It is one thing to tell your own story, one is entitled to this especially on this site, but to "recall" what was ALLEGEDLY (they really should look into their legal liability) said by "CHOMP nurses," friends/neighbors and a dentist is not only irresponsible but a tort. It is a good thing that these doctors let their good reviews and happy patients speak for them rather than sue for defamation of character.

I've been a patient of Dr. Leibovsky and Maria for several years, just once a year for annual exam…read more After my first visit they asked me to provide a review, everything was great and I wrote a great review. Every year the service declined, the waiting time became longer. On July 9 2025 Dr. Leibovsky scheduled me for a "quick test". I came in on time, signed in and had to wait for 35 min in the lobby. Then the assistant took me to the exam room, I undressed, put on the gown and was waiting for Dr. Leibovsky for another half an hour. No one showed up, I dressed up, informed the register of my excessive waiting time and said that I can't wait for more than an hour. They were not aware if the doctor was going to see me. 9 months later I got a $125 bill for "Late Cancel of the appointment". I did not cancel, I was present and waited for more than an hour without any information. Dr. Leibovsky did not show up. I had second and third opinion on my physical health and neither of the doctors suggested that "quick test" was important for me. Billing department was not able to provide any information on this situation. Now when I read other people reviews I see that I am not the only one in such a situation. I wouldn't see them again for sure.

I can not imagine if she was not there for us by email and calling our son every other day to make sure we were doing all the vitamins, antibiotics and then encouraging my son to take me to CHOMP when I became worse. This experience was so difficult and we were scared that without proper medical advice, the outcome could have been deathly. I would have happily paid any doctor for life saving advice. During this time, we were not allowed to be seen in any local facility due to the high risks. So, emailing her was something that we will cherish.

I then found Dr Ramseur, who was kind and compassionate and very informative and also had a great sense of humor. Hands down, my best delivery - thanks to him I recovered so well! However, as others have stated, his front office staff is so off-puttingly rude, condescending, and disrespectful. I needed to get my records (before they were destroyed) because I recall there being some very good notes. But I could not believe the rude way they spoke to me, I can't believe they speak to any human that way. It made me so sad. On top of it, even though I was within the time frame to request my records, they ghosted me and I didn't even get them and no they're probably destroyed.

The woman on the phone was uncaring, rude and condescending. When I explained my situation she said that i should call the doctor whom manages my medication and that she would have to call me back as dr ramseur is at the hospital too much to actually see patients in office and he would have to see where he could squeeze me in.

I moved up to the area for work recently and needed to find a new OBGYN. This was the only practice…read moreaccepting new patients at the time (wonder why). The reasons why I will NEVER go back are listed below in order of least offensive to you've-got-to-be-kidding-me offensive, so read the whole review if you want an honest patient opinion. Firstly, I scheduled an appointment just for regular screening and basic exam. They charge $50 before even seeing you and will NOT see you unless you pay their intake fee. Strange, but okay. Secondly, I arrived for my appointment 15 minutes early (as their million of reminder emails and texts urge you to do) yet I was not even seen for 45 minutes. I don't mind waiting, that's what waiting rooms are for, but nearly an hour after my scheduled time? There were two other women waiting as well, and NOBODY came in to greet us, apologize for the delay, or give any sort of updates. I mean, I rushed straight from work to make this appointment on time since it was the only time slot available, just to sit around for 45 minutes. Thirdly, once I was finally seen by someone it wasn't even the woman I had scheduled my appointment with, but her nurse? I just wanted to get to the bottom of my menstrual issues, as I have had debilitating pain and very heavy bleeding with irregular cycles. I explained beforehand that ischemic strokes run in my family and that I will NOT be taking birth control. My mother actually suffered a stroke due to birth control when she was young, so I already knew my own risks taking it. This nurse continued to push the issue of birth control, arguing that it's the only thing anyone else would recommend, and that I didn't really have any other options for period pain management. I also mentioned to her that I would be getting married soon and wanted to start thinking about having kids, and she shrugged and said I could always get off of it in the future. She was very insensitive, brushed aside my concerns, and pressured me into taking her prescription for birth control (which I declined and left without). Perhaps the worst reason for my disgust at this awful practice was their refusal to do a pap smear due to my still being a virgin. I had NEVER had this issue before at any other practice, but I was told by two separate women that unless I had already had sex, I would be "too tight" and the procedure would be "too painful" to perform. I told them I'm in my mid-20's and have been using tampons since I was 13 and I didn't mind a little pain. I requested to have a pap smear done at least three times throughout this visit and each time they urged me to "get more experience first to help minimize the potential pain and then come back." I KID YOU NOT. They flat out refused to perform a basic pap smear and suggested I go have sex first. I was appalled. I called my fiance crying from the car and we both agreed I would just find a new OBGYN. Disgusting. I wish it ended there, but they continued to harrass me for the measly 20 bucks owed for that appointment in hardcopy letters mailed to my house, text messages through the number I put on my intake paperwork, and calls/voicemails. When I logged in through their portal to pay my copay, it said I was unable to make payments online. When I called, they said I had to come back IN PERSON to make any sort of payment. When I finally had time to drive down there in person, the lady at the front desk said their system was down and they couldn't accept any digital payments due to faulty wifi! I requested to just pay in cash and she ignored me and asked for my contact info to "call you when our system is back up online." She wrote it down on a sticky note and I left. Never got a call from her, but continued to be harrassed with texts, calls and voicemails to pay. No joke, I would get automated voicemails from them anywhere from three to eight times A DAY. Each time I would reply "STOP" and receive a text saying that I was unsubscribed from their text alerts, but the next day it would start all over again. Eventually, I just had to drive back down there and demand to pay in cash. I stapled an envelope with the 20 bucks to the hardcopy notice I had gotten in the mail along with the print-out from their own payment portal that notes they do not accept payment online and left it with the front desk. I blocked their number and hope to wash my hands of this ridiculous place forever.

I just read in the "Monterey Herald" that Bergstrom is out of prison. I assume that the revocation…read moreof his medical license was "for life" but just in case Bergstrom is ever allowed to practice medicine again, I'm posting this quote from the January 25, 2013 "Monterey County Herald" "Immediately after the conviction, Bergstrom gave up his medical license in California...just as California's Medical Board took steps to revoke his license because of the case." "The board cited several additional reasons for the revocation based on audio recordings of Bergstrom, including jailhouse phone calls that indicated he was practicing medicine while in Monterey County Jail." "According to court records, Bergstrom once inadvertently left a dictation machine running in his office that recorded him offering to sell cocaine or trade it for sex. He admitted at trial that he traded prescription drugs for cocaine." At one point, Bergstrom was my elderly parents' doctor. Bergstrom did not have the patience to care for geriatric patients. Bergstrom may have been good with tall, thin, young, leggy blonde gals BUT I cannot recommend him for senior citizens.
