Dr. Akram and her staff are the absolute best!!! She's so caring and listens to all your concerns, answers questions and makes you feel at ease. This was my third child after thirteen years, and this time around my pregnancy was very different, so naturally I had a lot of questions and through the whole process I felt comfortable and at ease. If I had paperwork that needed to be filled out, her staff was on top of it. They were friendly and very professional. Thank you Dr. Akram and staff :) read more

My wife and I have been into Dr. Akram's office for the majority of my wife's pregnancy and for months we loved her and thought she provided excellent care. Today we walked in for her 6 week postpartum appointment and they had no record that we had scheduled the appointment. She ran into the exam room and quickly, as she was trying to walk out of the door, gave single word answers to the questions my wife was asking. She was dismissive and wanted the appointment over as soon as humanly possible. I've also been trying to get her office to complete some insurance paperwork since March, and they continue to not fill out the paperwork that I've requested - as such, my insurance hasn't paid and a lab company wants nearly $4,000 for a test that should be covered under my plan. As we were leaving, we found out she is retiring TOMORROW and couldn't be bothered to end her patient relationships she spent so much time building with dignity and professionalism. Enjoy your retirement. read more

I was referred here for a colposcopy after an abnormal Pap smear and Dr. Akram nor her staff explained to me what to expect or offer any empathy during and post procedure. This was my first ever colposcopy so I was of course extremely scared and anxious. During the procedure I felt so violated as again nothing was explained to me and it was very painful. Afterwards she had me stand up and I began bleeding all over the stool to the table. The nurse had left with the samples at this point and all Dr. Akram said was " oh they didn't give you a pad?" And proceeded to hand me one and walk out of the room. There was no explanation as to why I was bleeding so much, if that was normal or not and no empathy. I left her office and cried the entire drive home feeling like I had been so deeply violated. This is such a horrible procedure to begin with but Dr. Akram made the experience so much worse with her cold demeanor and lack of compassion. I've unfortunately had to have another colposcopy since and it was night and day of an experience. I barely bled at all and that Dr. Went above and beyond to explain things, offer tips during procedure to ease the pain and was very empathetic and made sure I was ok afterwards. read more

She just retired and left all her patients without saying a single word and left all her patients being forced to switch to a new Dr without any records. That is unprofessional. I needed a check up a few weeks after she did my C section and she told me it might be infected.. like what? How do you not know?? Then just dipped without saying anything... read more

I have been coming to Dr Tahira Akram at least 10 years , maybe more. I have always appreciated her bedside manner, her knowledge and her wisdom. She is a female Dr which I also appreciate because she has had children herself. In the past I had male gynecologist and it was way different for me and not a good experience. Dr Akram has years of experience which also gives me great respect and trust in her. She has treated me for so many different pregnancies, issues & worries through the years. She also performed a few surgeries on me and delivered two of my babies successfully! One surgery was for a miscarriage, she was so kind and empathetic toward me and all my questions, fears and concerns. During labor I was so afraid, she gave me great comfort and calmed me down. She took the time to get to know me and she joked with me and really calmed my anxiety. With my last baby she came to the hospital so quick- she literally arrived as I was pushing! She is a superhero in my opinion! She explained to me that she moved her office from (Chino) to Pomona so she could be close to the hospital, after that experience -I totally understood what she meant. The only thing I see where people can get turned off is her office is extremely busy and wait times can be extremely long. BUT because she's so good she's so busy. I think you have to worry when an office is not busy because why doesn't anyone want to see that doctor? Also this Dr is honest and to the point- which I appreciate -I am trying to stay healthy and hear the truth -not make friends and be lied to - although I would love a friend like Dr Tahira Akram. Concluding with her staff - they are and have always been very friendly and very organized. I highly recommend this doctors office for any of your gynecology needs. Office is also clean and organized and location is easy to find and parking is also easy. I would never see any other gynecologist. read more

At first, this clinic had the typical inefficient scheduling procedure, scheduling multiple patients at the same time and a free for all for who gets seen first. With paperwork to be completed, 1st time patients should not be scheduled at their opening time of 9 AM but rather 9:30am and ask to come in at 9:00am to complete paperwork. That would be a quick fix for that! Then we get seen by a caring, informative, and sweet doctor named Dr. Akram. She was great and we were very excited to have her oversee our pregnancy. Why the 1 star review? After our meeting my gf is informed that the father of her child will NOT BE ALLOWED to attend any future prenatal appointments. I call and ask why does this policy exist? Their robotic staff answers, "it's one of the precautions that we take." Puzzled, I ask, "precaution for what?" "COVID". In a facility with no masking, no vaccine checking, no COVID testing, and no social distancing, can we really be expected to believe that this place is taking a COVID threat seriously? With none of THOSE precautions implemented, how can we justify the arbitrary policy of restricting the father from attending the very significant and meaningful development of his child through each doctor visit. I WAS allowed to come to the first appointment, but all future appointments they are suddenly going to "care" about COVID. How does that make sense? This policy is COMPLETELY ARBITRARY! It is not March 2020 and this policy is causing HARM and is discriminatory towards the fathers. Not to mention, ladies were bringing their entire school bus of kids with them into their appointments, but my gf cannot bring the father of her child into her appointment. Absolutely reprehensible policy and this clinic should be ashamed of themselves for depriving the father of this monumentally important development in his new family's life. Get your head out of the sand and start caring about your patients! THIS DISCRIMINATORY CLINIC IS NOT FOR FATHERS WHO WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN THEIR CHILD'S EARLY DEVELOPMENT! read more

HORRIBLEEE! HORRIFIC WOMAN! I know this is long but it is worth the read for why no one should ever be seen by her! I found Dr. Akram after being seen at Advanced Healthcare in Upland because she is associated with them. I chose her after seeing lots of good reviews and wanted to go with a woman as my OBGYN. At your first appointment they make you fill out the patient questionnaire that goes over depression and I had filled out that I had low energy because I was 32+ weeks at that point. I hadn't been informed at Advanced Healthcare that I was low on iron my entire pregnancy even though I kept insisting they check it. She made lots of well suggestions but at the end she suggested I see I psychiatrist and I told her I wasn't interested and she left me their information to reach out to. I never called because I was pretty self aware that I didn't have energy due to how far along I was. After I finally got prescribed iron my energy had come back and I was feeling like myself again! By the time my next appointment came along I had developed a skin rash (PUPPS) over my entire body. I did lots of research before going in so I knew what it was already. She took ONE quick look at my skin with a disgusted look on her face and diagnosed me with Cholestasis (which is another rash during pregnancy but it can only be diagnosed and determined through blood tests and can be fatal to baby.) At the end of my appointment she asked if I had reached out to see a psychiatrist to which I told her I hadn't because I didn't think I had to. She completely WENT OFF ON ME in front of her entire staff! She told me if I wasn't going to be taking her suggestions she wasn't going to take me on as a patient anymore, called me overweight, and more horrible things, pretty much in an audience of people. Everyone in the lobby could hear because her office is very small and it was PACKED that day. Her staff looked at me feeling so sorry. I could tell by the look on their faces...except for that big backed unprofessional rude Medical Assistant of hers. (You would know who im talking about if you go in lol). As I walked out of the office, everyone in the lobby was silent and looking at me after they had heard her go off. I'll never forget the feeling and the look on their faces as I walked out. I left completely balling my eyes out, feeling discouraged. I knew I couldn't come back so I chose to go to a Dr. Jesse Woo in Pomona for the duration of my pregnancy and it was the BEST decision I could've made. He was shocked that she diagnosed me with Cholestasis with no blood test results. He is the sweetest, most gentle and considerate doctor! I never do reviews but I feel like I had to so no one has to go through what I did. She is completely and utterly unprofessional. Lacks sympathy and disregards any opinion you have in your own pregnancy. I don't know how she hasn't lost her license to practice, honestly. Also her office is really gross, old and outdated. She also doesn't show you your baby on the ultrasound at every appointment so that was a big bummer. Whenever I would ask to take a look at the monitor to see my baby she would only let me take a quick look and then would move it so I couldn't see :( read more

I had an ultrasound and received the result from radiology center. The result looks fine. A few days later I got a call from her office asking me to go in. She was an hour late for the appointment. Many women are their kids were there waiting. She saw me and said everything looks fine. I could barely understand her and didn't need to see her. Also she refused to give me a copy of the report when I asked for it. She asked me to go there so she could bill my insurance company. What a waste of my time and gas. A greedy and inconsiderate doctor. read more

Had two of my kids with her and currently pregnant with my third. The nurses at the front desk are sweet and helpful and the doctor is kind and caring. I wouldn't want anyone else she really motivates you while pushing and looks out for you. She is on top of everything, when you go to appointments she gets you in and out quick if everything is ok with ur pregnancy. I'm grateful to have come across her! read more

Waste of time with front desk. They are incompetent to handle a patient with two insurances which impedes patient care. I haven't seen an OBGYN since my 8 weeks and it's due to the front desk withholding my patient files. This was a very disappointing front desk I am now 17 weeks and still have yet ti see a provider. This office was certainly very upsetting to come to as a primigravida. read more

Rude rude rude office workers. Office manager, Claudia, was not listening to the doctor's order of my health and wellness.

Very Rude, Disrespectful workers/receptionist and they do not tell the truth, also what to expect of a doctor that has no humane sense to lift a pregnant woman on her 35th week and told her to find another provider. what is the reason of schedule and appointment and you face a very long waiting time read more

Dr. Akram seen me throughout and delivered all four of my children. She is extremely straightforward, very pleasant and I'm grateful for her quality of care and expertise! read more

Go anywhere else but here. She was nice at first then became extremely rude and disrespectful. When I spoke up about her being unprofessional I got a letter in the mail two days later saying she doesn't want me as a client anymore because I'm " non compliant " which isn't true the least bit. She denied me because I stood up for myself when she thought it was okay to speak to me in any manner she wanted. Now I'm looking for a new ob. Mind you I'm a high risk patient and she wants to remove me from her clientele right now. She definitely shouldn't have her job but unfortunately she will be keeping it. The least I can do is make sure nobody else has to experience this. Look somewhere else please. read more

Tahira Akram, MD - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Pomona, California

Dr. Akram was fabulous! You can tell she loves what she does and that goes a long ways. Care never felt short of 100% and her front desk was always on it. read more

Dr. Akram delivered both of my girls, my first daughter in December 2020 & my second daughter in April 2023, and I can't thank her enough for the wonderful care she provided throughout both pregnancies and delivery. I had an emergency c-section with my first and a scheduled c-section with my second and got my tubes tied. With my second pregnancy I was dealing with having marginal placenta previa, but thankfully it resolved on it's on towards the end of my 3rd trimester. Dr. Akram was always honest with me, answered all my questions/concerns, and considered the best options for me, my body, and my babies. The staff was always kind and helpful with anything I needed. Thank you Dr. Akram and staff for everything. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an OBGYN! read more

Don't waste your time going here! She over book all her patients and she don't care about you . I have appointment everytime I go and alway have to wait over 2 hours and she only see u for 5 min . It can be very frustrated and tiring especially you have toddler at home And have to work. I feel sorry for all pregnant woman that have to sit and wait over 2 hours. U can see my video that how many people have to wait in waiting room . A lot people was there before me and they haven't get to go in yet. And the front desk is very rude too. The office is so old and dirty read more

I got referred to Dr. AKRAM at the end of my pregnancy but i really wish it was sooner ! She really is amazing with answering questions and letting you know everything there is for you to know first time mom and couldn't be more thankful for the Dr who was apart of bringing my son into the world . read more

The staff and doctor are adversarial. I imagine this is what third world prison "health care" is like. Awful experience. I have a hard time believing the positive reviews on this page are real. Every appointment was rushed, like the doctor didn't have time or patience for me. But happy to collect that copay. Waited an hour and a half for one of my appointments. Zero compassionate care from the doctor or the staff. Most ghetto experience I've ever had on PPO insurance. Doctor was openly barking at staff during one appointment, seemed like it was normal for that environment. Styrofoam coffee cups in the bathroom for urine samples, you use a crayola marker to write your name on it. What?! Eventually upgraded to paper coffee cup. Classy. Don't do it. Go somewhere else. read more

Akram is very rude, she threatened me to take me off as a patient. I don't know if she was having a bad day but regardless she is very unprofessional and does not care. They scheduled you every two weeks for no reason which is not necessarily if you have a healthy pregnancy btw ! they try to milk your insurance or something. This place sucks and it's crowded 24/7. read more

I love Dr Akram she made me feel so comfortable and helped me with my anxiety during my pregnancy . She is amazing and so kind .

I have been a patient of Dr. Akram for seven years. I just found out I'm pregnant with my third child, Dr. Akram delivered my two children. She is a good doctor, however she is very busy since her patient demographic is predominantly Medi-Cal. Therefore her wait times long and the appointments can feel rushed. I have a PPO and in 2021 delivered my second daughter at PVMC and had a copay that went to collections. I forgot to make the payment which due to my recent pregnancy have promised to pay in full. I recently made an appointment for my 8 week check up and had so many issues with the front office, specifically Claudia and Janet. I was told after making my appointment at 4 weeks that I'm not able to see Dr. Akram as a patient. I asked for clarification since my payment was set up to be paid in full before my appointment date, and I was hung up on. I paged Dr. Akram (since I am a long time patient with her, I have her pager number) and spoke to her, she said "I will not abandon my patients and you can keep your appointment", this was Friday 05/10/24. Monday my insurance called Dr. Akrams office, on my behalf to get more information on the claim, since I couldn't recall what the copay was for. Aetna told me the office placed her on hold for 20+ minutes and she was not able to speak with Claudia, the biller. My insurance reccomend that I contact the collection agency to get more info on the claim. Today, Wednesday 05/15/24 Janet "the office manager" called me and said, they have to cancel my appointment since I have to same insurance and a liability. She also told me I was being rude when she hung up on me Friday and I had to page the doctor due to her threats of me being abandoned as Dr. Akrams patient. It's very unfortunate Dr. Akram has very petty women who have no patient care or empathy for a pregnant women. I have also supported Dr. Akrams daughter who has a dental practice in Montclair and due to this situation I will not be a patient of hers either. I have come to terms that I'm going to have to find a new OBGYN to see, for my last child. It has been very difficult since she is a great practitioner, hopefully she reads this and realizes that her staff needs to be retrained on patient care and have a little more empathy. read more

Dr. Akram is one of the best , she truly cares about the babies and your health. She is very straight forward tells you how it is, which I personally love and rather have. Even after your birth she checks up during your postpartum. I'm grateful to have picked Dr.Akram to deliver my healthy baby girl. :) read more

Dr Akram is one of the best doctors I've ever had. She listens well, she is clear in answering questions, and she is 100% the person I want in my corner if anything goes wrong. She showed compassion and was straightforward in a difficult situation, and she gave me the guidance, encouragement and support I needed for a healthy pregnancy. Her office team is also great. They were always friendly and on top of the various questions I had. I would recommend her to anyone I know without any hesitation. read more

Tahira Akram is the best in the Inland Empire! Let me start off by saying that I did my research and after having 4 pregnancies, I can actually speak from several experiences that she is the best. I've had male doctors in the past who have left me scarred from their disservice. I tried a previous Dr Maria Siu and found she wasn't really personable but rather a doctor who can't wait to rush you out of the office. Dr. Akram is a pro at what she does and really advocates for women. I delivered my baby yesterday naturally and safely given all this COVID craziness going on. During my pregnancy she addressed all of my concerns, and gave each one the proper attention it deserved. Akram is the doctor who sees you and the doctor who delivers your baby. Unlike most doctors who have 5 different doctors in one office, often rotating you and they won't guarantee that the doctor you prefer or see would be the actual one delivering your baby. Akram's quality of service to her patients is rare, she offers the direct doctor to patient service vs a medical group or corporation. I'm blessed to have found her and thankful for her service to the Inland Empire. read more

Tahira Akram, MD - Baby - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Pomona, California

I am so lucky to have been blessed with Dr. Akram as my OB. She is so caring and truly wants the best for you. She helped me deliver my daughter safe and sound. I would recommend her to anyone needing a OB. read more

Dr Akram is by far the best OBGYN i've ever had. She helped deliver my two babies. Throughout my entire pregnancy she was very attentive and always answered all of my questions. Always took her time to listen to all of my concerns and was also in such a great mood. Staff is also incredible. They are always ready to answer any questions you might have. read more

I went with her when I had medical and was pregnant with my first baby. She was great! I really felt comfortable in her office and she was there when I delivered my baby. She was kind of rude to my husband and said he didn't do crap, that I did everything when it came to delivering our baby (he was a huge support system). read more

Dr Akram is absolutely lovely! Her bedside manner and personality are just amazing! I'm so happy I took a chance with her. She is very kind and patient! Her office staff are all pleasant and kind as well. The wait times were not too bad. The waiting area feels a little cramped, but there's quite a few seats available. I'm happy with the service provided and will return! read more

I loved my experience with dr. Akram! She delivered my daughter late February at Pomona valley. I had to search to find a doctor willing to let my try a VBAC, and so thankful I found dr. Akram. She was supportive of me trying a VBAC from day 1. Highlights of seeing Dr. Akram for pregnancy: 1) she's efficient & super knowledgeable, yet keeps things simple 2) very warm bedside manner, always was enthusiastic with a smile - you can tell she loves what she does! 3) always took the time to answer any questions I had, no matter how busy she was 4) in 9 months of pregnancy visits, only once was she running severely behind due to a delivery. She apologized profusely (even though she didn't need to, it's part of her job!) I don't know how she does it- sees so many women, delivers lots of babies, keeps the office running well- she's a total boss! 5) no frills - the office isn't fancy, but the staff see a lot of women, always very professional & know what they're doing. A well oiled machine. But what probably made my experience the BEST was after I successfully had a VBAC (thanks to dr. Akram's support) she came to the side of my bed, held my face in her hands and said "I'm so proud of you." That was the icing on the cake for me. She cared for me so well during my pregnancy, then helped me achieve my delivery goal. Plan to see her for any future babies - can't recommend dr. Akram enough! read more

I wouldn't recommend this office. Her front office is okay but her back Assistant dismisses any concern you might have as "normal " . also , wait times are longer than one hour . They double book and can't manage to see patients accordingly. There is only one OB here so if a patient is giving birth she leaves and patients are stuck waiting 30- 60 minutes for her return. Also , they don't check the urine which is not okay. And they don't provide ultrasounds until you are 35 weeks . They refer you out to do the anatomy scan. Outdated office , poor customer service, and lack of compassion is why I only stayed here for a month. read more

I got referred to Dr. Akram by my cousin when I first found out of my pregnancy, but i really wish it was sooner! I've had past troubles with other obgyns with them just pushing for things I didn't want or just rushing care. Dr. Akram was a completely different story she really is amazing with answering questions and letting you know everything there is for you to know while pregnant. She genuinely cares, would tell me how much she loves my baby and it makes you feel good that she remembers each patient/baby. She made me feel like I was able to speak up for what I wanted and that I could trust her plan for my care. I couldn't be more thankful for Dr. Akram being there my whole pregnancy! read more

Tahira Akram, MD - She helped me bring this beautiful little girl into this world safe and sound - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Pomona, California

I've used Dr. Akram with two of my pregnancies. Dr. Akram has made me feel very comfortable , welcomed and explained everything to me when I needed her to go into more details of certain things . If I ever have any women issues or concerns she is the first person I call . Dr. Akram can't always answer my phone call right away but her office immediately relays my message and she usually calls me back within a few hours she's a very busy Dr helping not only myself out but other women! If you are looking for an OB/GYN I would definitely use her. read more

Honestly, this place was horrible for multiple reasons.(zoom to last paragraph if you want to get to the point) To start, I guess they send out automatic text messages asking you to check in(first time patient) I spent my time filling it out and when I arrive, they ask for my insurance(which I filled out online) and when I had said this, the response was, "Yea actually that information doesn't save." I didn't fight it, filled out the paper work. Next a urine sample; staff said the cups were in the restroom... they had mini foam coffee cups with a sharpie marker in a basket at the top of the toilet, I thought, "okay, I have never seen this in a medical place." Which seemed extremely unsanitary and unprofessional. You usually get those medical urine cups, sealed, with your name on it and with a lid I might add. What if someone's sample spills over? Yet this was another thing I just looked over and didn't think anything of it, just stopped me in my tracks. Finally I'm waiting for the doctor, context about me, I had COVID in the beginning of August, was hospitalized for 10 days, treated, but now I'm unable to walk well and need a wheelchair to assist, I'm on oxygen so I have a tank with me. She comes in seeming pleasant and as soon as she asked me if I'm negative from COVID it took a turn. I told her the doctors at the hospital let me know I didn't need to get tested again because I passed the CDC mark where I was 10-14 days with no symptoms and I am not contagious. They also let me know that people can show up positive for months because of the antibodies still being in my system and as I'm explaining this she does the ultra sound so quickly I DIDNT EVEN GET TO SEE MY BABY! SHE GAVE ME NO PICTURES, NO HEART BEAT, NOTHING! Within SECONDS she's done with the ultrasound. She proceeds to tell me, "that's not true, that's not true" says I'm risking her and all her staff, saying "do you understand?" as if I'm ignorant and unaware of how serious this is?? I guess a pulmonologist, hospital doctor from a covid unit, nurses, respiratory therapist were all wrong??? She scolds me for the rest of the time(total time I saw her was probably 5 minutes) and tells me to get tested in order for me to come back there. I have NOTHING against testing and of course wanting everyone to be safe. But the way the entire conversation was executed was just extremely poor bedside manner. read more

Dr. Akram was my obstetrician for both of my pregnancies. She was very knowledgeable and undoubtingly composed when dealing with complications with my first pregnancy. With her support and guidance, I was able to have an unmedicated birth with my second baby (something I never thought I would be capable of doing). I would highly recommend Dr. Akram to everyone! read more

My husband and I have had two pregnancies visiting Dr. Akram. The first was smooth and the second was filled with worries. She did an amazing job helping us get through both. I fully recommend her to anyone looking for the right doctor to help them get through the good and scarier times. I could not be happier. My four year old and my newborn are here healthy because of her. Thank you again! If any of those less than 5 star reviews are about wait time, remember the job. She is on call to run to the hospital down the road. You may wait for her to run and get back from delivering a child but she understands and gets the jobs done. Also, that may be you at the hospital one day so relax and be understanding. 5 stars all the way! read more

I came here with my 3rd baby towards the end of my pregnancy. Dr akram is very harsh physically. I felt neglected . Also I had to wait sooo long to be seen every single time only for dr akram to basically ask me if I'm okay , stick her hand up me and tell me she'll see me next time ( all within 5 minutes or less ) . She's very pushy . I wish I had not let her deliver my baby . Horrible experience. I do not recommend at all . Do yourself a favor and stay away from this place and this dr read more

Had the worst experience at this office. The doctor and her medical assistant are RUDE/TERRIBLE. Dr is super condescending and actually made me cry. The office is literally falling apart/ outdated not clean. Super ghetto. If youre looking for a pleasant experience please stay away from this place. I must note that the only positive thing about this place was the front desk staff, very sweet girls had to give them credit. read more

Update - 7 years later. I unfortunately had to find a new doctor. I ended up removing my nexplanon, and within a few hours my incision opened up, and was told to keep the bandage on, and it would eventually close. Well, it ended up closing but now have a huge scar that could have been prevented. I got over it, then went back a few months later since I found out I was pregnant, however the wait is just ridiculous to see Dr. Akram for less than 5 minutes. Wait times have always been over an hour to be seen. Compared to my new doctor, wait times are no more than 15 minutes. I'm sad Dr. Akram won't be delivering my 3rd baby , but I know I made the right choice by finding a new doctor. read more
