I was originally at Scripps for my initial diagnosis but I wanted the best surgeon for my case so I turned to Dr. Varon. During my consultation, she had looked through my MRI and identified fibroids that the radiologist and obgyn had missed at Scripps. I highly trust Dr. Varon's expertise and thoroughness with her work. Dr. Varon listened to my concerns and gave me the best path forward. She is a very skilled minimally invasive surgeon and successfully removed multiple large fibroids for me. I feel more like my old self again! Thank you Dr. Varon for the care you provided me.

It took 6 months to get the appointment and another 3 to have the surgery but I'm beyond happy with Dr Varon. She is a very pleasant person and a very competent doctor, in and out of surgery. I highly recommend her. She is very prompt with her communication and follow-up, and was always in a good mood with a nice reassuring smile every time I saw her. Most importantly for me, she listened to what was important to me and shaped the treatment plan accordingly. It's odd for me to provide a medical review but I do so in the hope Dr Varon can help you. She's truly fantastic. Post surgery follow up was also stellar and resulted in good referrals for me too. Thank you Dr Varon.

He is so patient, attentive, caring, sweet, and funny, and he's also very well-spoken and easy to communicate with.

I know he must have been exhausted, but he still provided me with the same attentive and thorough care and made sure everything was done perfectly. He even continued checking on me after delivery to make sure I was recovering well. My whole family loves him, and I'm so grateful I found him!

He has a way of listening and speaking that makes me feel like I matter, and my desires are worth listening to. He is an incredibly talented Dr and I am so grateful that I was able to have my second delivered by him. I don't know how this is possible but he doesn't seem to have been jaded by the medical field nor is he a slave to the system - he is one of a kind and an excellent advocate for women. I come from a family of Doctors so I say this with respect -- but most have an ego about them and I have felt patronized and dismissed by some. Dr Cobb is not that way at all. He is both confident and humble in his care. He made me feel safe and cared for. He has a way about him that is integrous and highly capable. If you are a mom carrying a piece of you into the world you probably feel both the heavy responsibility and fear of getting it right.

Dr. Capetenakis misdiagnosed my Stage IV Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis. I was referred to Dr…read more Capetenakis by a functional medicine doctor, and was hoping that by establishing care with a "boutique medical practice", I would get the care that I so desperately needed. Long story short, I ended up having an excision surgery for Stage IV Endometriosis, and it was so bad that I also ended up needing a bowel resection. For being told multiple times during my visits that my pain was due to ovulation, my fibroids weren't an issue (he had women with 12cm fibroids get pregnant), and that the developing cysts on my ovaries were nothing to be concerned about, it was a genuine shock that my situation was so dire. My doctor that did the excision surgery shared that I had a life expectancy of 5-6 years if I had not been treated. With regard to the office experience, it is a shock that his office does not send out appointment reminders. According to his staff, they are too small. Given that my dog groomer, acupuncturist, and my therapist all manage their own schedules and send automated appointment reminders without issue, that is definitely an area of improvement. Especially when I was charged a $50 no show fee for an appointment that I never scheduled. All in all - they tried. However, when a patient is far too complex they should be referred out to another provider, not told that everything is fine and to move on. If it were his family, I doubt he would have taken the same approach as he did with me.

I moved to San Diego from Las Vegas in late 2022 where I had a great gynecologist for years who had just retired.

From the first visit, I knew I had found my San Diego doctor. Dr. Engorn is very kind, caring, smart, empathetic, and listens to her patients. She is efficient but thorough and not rushed. So far I`ve had two surgeries with her(tube removal and a removal of a endometrial polyp), a couple of year exams, and a couple of pre/post ops and results phone calls and she has remained just as lovely and caring during each interaction with her.

Disheartening Experience with Dr. Li Fan…read more I don't usually leave reviews for non food experiences, but I felt it was important to share my experience with Dr. Li Fan so that other expectant mothers know what to expect. Throughout my pregnancy, I often felt more judged than supported. Dr. Fan was very strict about weight gain and repeatedly emphasized that gaining more than 25 pounds was "excessive." Every pregnancy is different, and instead of encouragement or tailored advice, I often felt criticized for not fitting her idea of a "textbook" pregnancy. I was also required to complete multiple non-stress tests (NSTs) at a location that did not accept my insurance. When I brought this up, I was told I had no choice but to get the tests done there. It felt unfair and added more unnecessary stress during an already emotional time. My postpartum experience was equally disappointing. At my 6-week checkup, I mentioned that I had been celibate since giving birth and plan to continue without birth control, and Dr. Fan responded, "Men don't like to wait. They have needs." I was at a loss for words, the comment felt dismissive and inappropriate, especially during such a sensitive and vulnerable time. After my delivery (March 2025) , I also waited much longer than expected to be discharged. Dr. Fan didn't come by my hospital room until around 5-6 p.m. the day i was supposed to be discharged, which unnecessarily delayed my discharge and added stress during a time when I just wanted to be home with my baby. While I'm sure Dr. Fan has patients who appreciate her straightforward approach, my experience left me feeling unheard and unsupported. Compassion, understanding, and sensitivity are essential in women's healthcare. Unfortunately, those qualities were missing in my experience with Dr. Li Fan.

This is kind of lengthy and not necessarily negative however, i want to share my experience in…read morehopes it may help someone else who finds themselves in a similar situation. Back in 2022, after struggling with very heavy periods for years, Dr. Fan was able to diagnose me with multiple uterine fibroids. I had surgery shortly after, and the care I received during that process was excellent. Fast forward to 2025--I found out I was unexpectedly pregnant. I was very early, about four weeks along, and had to wait for my first ultrasound. A couple of weeks later, I began bleeding heavily and feared I was miscarrying. I called the office, had blood work done, and was told my HCG levels were high. When I repeated the test two days later, the office relayed through a front desk coordinator that my levels had "dropped" and I was miscarrying. This was incredibly difficult news to hear, and I later saw in my chart that my levels had not dropped significantly. I also feel strongly that sensitive information like this should always come directly from a licensed medical professional, not front office staff. When I returned for an ultrasound to make sure the miscarriage was progressing as expected, I was shocked and overwhelmed to learn that I was still pregnant--about 9 1/2 weeks along. The ultrasound also showed a large subchorionic bleed, though I was reassured that these often resolve on their own. I was prescribed progesterone and began taking it immediately, which initially helped, but when the bleeding worsened again and I asked to be seen urgently, I was told I would need to wait a couple of days for the next available appointment. Unfortunately, I miscarried that night at 10 weeks. I still carry many "what ifs" about whether pushing harder for immediate appointments or additional intervention could have made a difference. This is not meant as a purely negative review, but as encouragement to others: if you are pregnant and experiencing heavy bleeding, advocate strongly for yourself. Request to speak directly with your doctor, insist on being seen, and make sure your concerns are heard. While I remain grateful for the care I received in the past and for Dr. Fan's role in diagnosing and treating my fibroids, I've unfortunately lost a lot of trust during this experience. I am hopeful that by sharing my story, the office may be able to use it as a learning opportunity to improve communication and patient care and possibly help save someone else from experiencing a miscarriage in the future.
