Dr. Shin is an exceptional OB, and I would highly recommend her to anyone. As someone who tends to…read moreoverthink, I truly appreciated her calm confidence and ability to make clear, timely decisions. She is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and easy to talk to, which made me feel supported throughout my pregnancy. I recently delivered twins, and my experience with her was so positive that I would gladly work with her again for a future pregnancy. I have complete trust in her care and am very grateful to have had her as my doctor.

# They take the liberty of canceling your appointments even without your confirmation!!!…read more If you ever want your doctor's appointment to be canceled, even without your knowledge, then you are in luck, and the Doctor's patient service manager takes all the credit and liberty in doing this. Personally, I don't know the doctor, but I saw really good reviews for her and her team. Thinking that they would all be professional and provide an excellent diagnosis and service, I scheduled an appointment with her by calling Sutter Health's patient care line back in June this year for a UTI/Vaginal discomfort diagnosis. I got very frustrated when they cancelled my appointment today (10/4) for the one I had on (10/6) without even asking for my confirmation. They called me around 11:30 am while I was still in an office meeting, and even before I could hear the voicemail and respond, I got a message on the Sutter Health app saying that my appointment had been cancelled. My husband and I kept calling the Los Altos office from noon to 3 pm to find out why and how they could proceed without my confirmation. We just kept hearing that the manager was still in her "lunch". Only after speaking with patient relations was I able to connect with the relevant person. The staff member (Betty) who spoke informed me that they had the right to cancel my appointment without my consent, and I should be aware of all the conditions related to OB/GYN that Dr. Shin would diagnose. We found these comments to be unprofessional and rude, lacking empathy for me. Additionally, in the reason for cancellation, they mentioned that since I have already established my patient care at another facility within Sutter Health, I should go there instead. This seemed absurd, as I had already scheduled an appointment with the Los Altos center earlier in June. How can a patient be expected to be aware of all this information? Isn't this the duty of a patient relations manager? In the end, the staff sounded a little rude and even said, "I know you have a patient relation number, and if you want to proceed with the grievance, go ahead." This kind of attitude in health care is unacceptable, and it is not fair to cancel a critical appointment without a patient's consent. My right as a patient to reasonable continuity of care, advance notice of appointments, and participation in care decisions was violated. I request that the Sutter Health Patient Care Team investigate this matter so that, in the future, no one can end up in a similar situation.

I wish Dr. Anderson was my OBGYN since pregnancy, but she wasn't accepting new patient for treating…read morepregnancy at the time (about 4yrs ago now). I was in labor for 4 days. They tried everything from induction to breaking my water. But my baby was just too comfortable to come out. Mind you, I was going for all natural so I wasn't given any type of epidural anesthesia for the first 3 days. Until day 4, they wanted to try the maximum amount of induction medication and worried that I wouldn't be able to handle it, so I was then given epidural. One of the doctors broke my water on day 3 evening, hoping it would trigger the baby to go down more, but unfortunately didn't do much. Dr. Anderson came and greeted me on day 4; I told her that I recognized her because I was trying to get her to be my pregnancy OBGYN. She was the most caring doctor throughout the 4 days I was there. She came check on me as she promised every hour. She came in to let me know that she was performing a C-section for another mom so it would take longer for her to come back to see me. Then, she came right after she was done. In the evening of day 4, she recommended C-section because it was almost 24hr since my water broke, and the baby might be too big to come down any further any time soon. I asked if she can perform the C-section for me - although she was time for her to go home, she said yes and promised to be there for me. I agreed with the C-section and they started to get the surgery room ready. Dr. Anderson talked and explained every step throughout the surgery. My baby came out perfect and she was weighing at 9lbs. Perhaps that's why she wasn't going down. Again, how I till this day, wish I saw Dr. Anderson from day one of my pregnancy or my labor. I really think that my experience would be a lot better than it was. I recommend Dr. Anderson for all the moms out there.

She is so knowledgeable, would be thorough when answering my questions and go through all my options. She is friendly and always made me feel like a priority. I live about 45 minutes away but it was totally worth it to drive that far and I couldn't be happier with the care I received throughout my pregnancy!

Thank God she's retired. God who knows how many people she caused pain to. Thankfully, I now have a…read morehealthy 7-year-old (naturally with no intervention or fertility treatments), and I credit that to stepping away from Dr. Ecklund's care and finding providers who truly listened. I'm currently under the care of a physician affiliated with El Camino Hospital and Bay Area Maternity, and the difference in attentiveness and support has been night and day. I would not recommend Dr. Ecklund, particularly for anyone dealing with sensitive or complex reproductive health issues. While she was helpful when I first saw her nearly a decade ago, my later experiences raised serious concerns about the level of care provided. Over the years, I experienced four miscarriages. After the first, Dr. Ecklund was completely unreachable, and another doctor had to step in. During my second miscarriage, she did not follow appropriate protocols, such as conducting a full panel of hormone tests -- something I ultimately had to advocate for myself. Most recently, after discovering I was pregnant again, I reached out promptly, given my history. Despite previously telling me to notify her immediately in such a case, her office stated she would not see me until 8-10 weeks. While this may be standard for most pregnancies, it is not appropriate for someone with recurrent pregnancy loss. Fortunately, I was able to find a more responsive and compassionate provider, recommended by a friend, who saw me right away. In addition to the lack of individualized care, I felt there was an overall emphasis on promoting fertility treatments rather than investigating the root causes of my miscarriages. After my second loss, Dr. White -- covering for Dr. Ecklund at the time -- strongly pushed IVF, despite the fact that I had been able to conceive naturally each time after only a few months of trying. It felt less like a thoughtful recommendation and more like a rushed, sales-driven approach. Finally, I find it concerning that my original review on Yelp appeared to have been hidden or removed without explanation, requiring me to repost it. I believe it's important that patients are able to share honest experiences, especially when it comes to critical matters like reproductive health.

Many years ago when I was pregnant with my youngest, I had transferred to her in Sunnyvale. I had…read moregestational diabetes with my previous pregnancy. However, time went on and I attended a group for pregnant women with gestational diabetes and learned that they had been tested for gestational diabetes earlier in their pregnancy than me at the stage after I had transitioned to her. However, from my recollection I asked her why she hadn't referred me for testing and she acknowledged she should have but she would at that time. It turned out after testing I did indeed have gestational diabetes but it was not being addressed unless I had asked her for testing. I later tried to address with my diet monitored by a type of dietician but ended up taking insulin. When I called the managing doctor or director at that time he initially heard me out. He agreed she should have had me tested earlier but then asked me curtly, is your baby alright? I said as of now yes. Then he stated curtly again, "well then?" In such a cold tone. I was taken aback. I ended reporting to my insurance carrier and they took the report. She was nice in terms of her bedside manner. However, whether due to being busy or whatever the case there is no excuse for the oversight especially given my pregnancy complication from my previous pregnancy.
