Given that most centers like this focus primarily on fertility and sexual health-related issues, is there anyone on staff who is a specialist in terms of older women, perimenopausal and menopausal concerns, etc.? Waiting for an answer.

Everyone is saying "doctor" but I am reading that Jennifer is a Physician Assistant. I mean no disrespect, just wondering if this is the same level of care that one would receive from a doctor?

Hi Melissa! This is a great question!… 

Do you take United healthcare PPO?

Yes! We are contracted with United Healthcare PPO. As well as Cigna, Healthnet, Aetna and Direct Network of Southern California.

Do you take Altrua Healthshare?

Hi Marian! Thanks for your question. Currently Thrive Wellness accepts most PPO major insurances and offers very reasonable cash prices. Altrua is a unique plan and we would have to research that for you. If you give the office a call, a Thrive…

Dr. Tamayo has been the best OB I could have asked for. I've had both of my sons with her at…read moreGlendale Adventist in 2020, during the pandemic, and 2022. She is incredibly kind, understanding and happy to help. She can move through appointments quickly, but if you have a list of questions, she's more than happy to go through them with you. She is also calm and positive during delivery. Once she arrived at the hospital, she jumps right in, having great relationships with the hospital staff, and calmly getting you ready to push. I have zero complaints with her quality of care. My only one call out would be the staff - I think at times it can be hard to call in/get the help you might need if you're not in the office. She's got a heavy patient load, so her staff is essential to moving folks through and sometimes you can get stuck waiting for a call back or playing phone tag. If Im lucky enough to have another baby I'll be seeing Dr. Tamayo and have recommended her to all of my close friends.

Dr. Alice Yun is amazing! not sure about these negative reviews about her. As a doctor i feel like…read moreshe's always been very sweet and attentive and makes you feel comfortable. I have seen her for probably 10 years now? Its been a very long time. Kirstin on her staff is amazing and really sweet. She's very accommodating. Unfortunately I think the rest of the staff is not the best. I've now had 2 situations with them and it's been super frustrating. I am newly pregnant and since the doctor is very busy, i think they like to schedule all your future appointments at one time which is understandable. I let them know ahead of time that one of them wasn't going to work for me since i was out of town for a business trip and they said they rescheduled me for the next day but it ended up being a whole thing because it wasn't actually changed in their system and they started to blame me which i really did not appreciate. It got fixed in the end so that's fine but that was not a great experience. Then my second bad experience is I have called the offices 3 times now trying to get a hold of someone since I have covid and it hasn't gotten better for 4 days now. Today's on call nurse seemed like a FRAUD just Chat GPT'ing or something on the other line. it was absolutely heinous. I have full blown symptoms for covid but i told her the body aches have gone away and the fever broke. She told me to take robitussin and get a humidifier..... i asked her thats it? is there anything else you can suggest to help as i'm really having a hard time and she goes no. that's all that's written down.. i'm sorry.. but ARE YOU A NURSE? I could've told myself that and more.. she was absolutely useless. The only reason i would switch doctors or not recommend this place is for the on call nurses.. i'm not sure where they're coming from but they do not seem well versed or well trained in any sense. so disappointed.

Dr Welebir is amazing. I had my first patient appt with him after seeing numerous OBs that never…read morereally explained much of anything to me. To start off, I have social anxiety & im often not able to explain or elaborate as eloquently as I'd like. My mind often goes blank when speaking to someone. As such, I very often leave appointments regretting how much I 'didn't' say bc I was too focused on breathing normal and not getting nervous. Because of this, a lot of doctors don't think I'm in excruciating pain, or it's not as severe since I'm not begging for help or showing much of any emotion. But trust me, my pain is excruciating..... I just struggle to explain it or show emotion to strangers. During my appt he asked all my symptoms.. I didn't get to fully emphasize the debilitating cramps / pain I experience every month (due to my inability to communicate eloquently). But that didn't matter with Dr welebir because All I had to say was "yes I feel pain" for him to take me serious without me having to over explain myself. For that, I'm very thankful. Since I do struggle to explain my symptoms and what I feel; I rarely leave appointments feeling confident that a doctor understood or believes me.. but today I did, even without over explaining myself. On top of that, I can't even begin to explain how detailed he is with explaining various symptoms & the full break down that other doctors fail to do. Thank you so much de Welebir & im glad you came highly recommended by my doctor. - Madelyn Flores

Dr. Barnes is THE BEST. If we could give her more stars, we would. Choosing her to be my OBGYN was…read moreone of the best decisions I made throughout my pregnancy. From the very first appointment, it was clear she was extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, thorough, and a wonderfully genuine person. The biggest thing my husband and I noticed off the bat was how she took the time to listen and provide creative and effective solutions to whatever particular symptom I was having. I felt empowered each trimester with the tools and education we were provided with during our appointments. We never felt rushed and always felt that we were in the best care possible. She gained our trust very quickly and being first-time parents, meant the world to us! Towards the end of my pregnancy, my blood pressure began to climb into the gestational hypertension range and it became clear that we would need to induce early. This was at the peak of the Omicron wave and despite the hospital being SUPER busy and understaffed, Dr. Barnes made sure we got in as quickly as possible. We created a plan together and felt like we were walking into my induction and delivery as a team. As fate would have it, I ended up developing pre-eclampsia. We felt so relieved that we had made the choice to deliver early. Her guidance made our situation a best-case scenario. In the hospital and during my postpartum recovery, she was consistently checking in, communicating with us, and providing me with the best possible solutions. She had our back every step of the way. My husband and I are SO grateful we found Dr. Barnes! We cannot rave about her enough and are pretty sure many of our friends will be heading her way in the coming years haha If you're looking for a doctor who is deeply passionate about her work and goes above and beyond for her patients, look no further. We cannot recommend her enough!

I'm so grateful I found Dr. Barnes. From the first visit, I felt heard and taken seriously.

The staff was also friendly and organized, which made everything easier. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Barnes to friends and family.

A big part of pregnancy is what happens in the delivery room. And as great and courteous as Dr. Nguyen was during the course of my pregnancy, the level of care and attention her L&D team showed me was indescribable. Each nurse that came into the room showed so much care and concern for me. I never felt uncomfortable or anxious. Delivery was a breeze. The entire team that was in the room was such great support. Although I was completely overwhelmed with delivering my son, they were in my corner the entire time encouraging me and making delivery such a relaxing experience. I'm now on day 4 of PP and I feel so good. Dr. Nguyen was so amazing making sure my post delivery recovery would be quick. I received first degree tears and she worked wonders with patching me up. Her level of care is not one to be overlooked. If you're looking for an ob/gyn with a 5 star delivery team, I highly recommend Dr. Nathalie Nguyen with Glendale Adventist Women's Network.

My pharmacy has been reaching out with no luck, and I've called multiple times but there is no answer and no option to leave a voicemail. I am in intense physical pain as a result of not having my prescription on time, and I am frustrated that there isn't even a viable way for me to reach out for help. This is not the first time that this very same situation has occurred. Please contact me if you see this lol UPDATE: I've been calling Adventist Health's main phone line (instead of specifically Dr. Ho) and they keep just transferring me to the same two numbers that nobody is picking up and that I can't leave voicemails on. I am going to look into changing providers because I've never had this level of unresponsiveness, even when something didn't concern my physical safety and health

I…read morechose Dr. Rogers because of all the amazing reviews I saw, and she completely lived up to them. From my very first call, Althea was so kind, hands-on, and communicative. She made sure I got all my appointments set up with Dr Roger's and that everything ran smoothly. When my delivery came a little earlier than expected, Dr. Rogers didn't just stick to the standard 6 week checkup , she created a 2-4-6 week followup plan to make sure I was recovering well and feeling good. She also gave me great recommendations for classes, therapists, and other resources, and referrals which really showed how much she cares about her patients beyond just the medical side. If you're looking for a super hands on OB and a team that truly goes on the journey with you and makes sure you're okay every step of the way, Dr. Rogers and her office are amazing.

However, her office staff are slow to respond and when you do get someone on the phone they are condescending and unhelpful. I had an extremely hard time confirming my initial appointment. Most doctors offices these days send out reminders via email or text at least a week in advance of your appointment. When I did not receive a confirmation or reminder I reached out to the office by phone and email multiple times and no one responded to my emails or voicemails. I did not want to take time off of work for an appointment that wasn't confirmed and when I finally got someone on the phone I could practically feel her rolling her eyes at me as she told me they only confirm the day before. Okay, fine, but they could have emailed me back or called me back to answer my question instead of ignoring it for a week. Then I was billed three times for the same amount over the course of three months after I had already paid the bill. When I called the office to ask why my check hadn't been cashed and I was still being billed, the staff answering the phones was incredibly rude and told me to "take a breath" after I calmly explained my issue. I had already left a voicemail about the issue a few days before and no one called me back. Save yourself the headache and find a practice that employs responsive staff that can schedule effectively and bill effectively.
