I delivered by second baby with Dr.Skalnyi last week and it was once again the most amazing and smooth birth just like the first! Just like my first, I had no tears once again! Delivery was calm and so easy and she always listens to your needs and do it the best and natural way as possible! She is a master at her job and the BEST in this field ! The GODDESS of all OBs! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Thank you Dr. Skalnyi! You are my hero! Thank you for delivering my two healthy babies, I can never thank you enough![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My OB MVP for life! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Dr Skalnyi is awesome. She listens to your concerns even when it's not gyn related.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had been dealing with migraines so I asked her a few question and she's always willing to help me and answered any and all questions. She's very thorough and empathetic. She's been my doctor for many years and I hope to have her for many more. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The office staff is amazing as well. They are efficient and super friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I'm currently on my fourth pregnancy, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dr. Skalnyi and her team have been absolutely wonderful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She is warm, compassionate, and always takes the time to answer all my questions and address any concerns at every appointment. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Her front office staff is equally kind and helpful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She has truly helped ease any anxiety I've had throughout this pregnancy. I would highly recommend her to anyone! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]My favorite Doc in this world. She is one amazing OBGYN all along from 4-5 months s with twins[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I wasn't liking the multiple doctors that look at you as a #/$ to get their jobs done.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Don't get me wrong there are those that still care in those systems but rarely. She gives me honest feedback and forced me do it natural. I'm someone that forced her to let have the option of getting them out asap! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also along the way she convince me to follow her lead and trust her.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She more than a doctor to me and my family. read more

Dr. Skalnyi is hands-down the best OB. I worked alongside Dr. Skalnyi in the Labor & Delivery unit as a RN for 7 years. She delivered my daughter 3 years ago; and after switching jobs to another hospital, I chose to continue care with Dr. Skalnyi for my son because she is just that wonderful! I have nothing but praise for Dr. Skalnyi and her team. If you are looking for an OB, she is truly outstanding. I feel like it's very important to have a comfortable relationship with your OB. After getting to know your OB during pregnancy at all the prenatal visits, most patients find it valuable to have that same provider they already built a relationship with (who knows their medical history, birth preferences etc.) delivering their baby during such a vulnerable time. And So first off, Dr. Skalnyi is a solo practitioner meaning she isn't part of a group - which means Dr. Skalnyi will be the one delivering your baby, not by another OB who is on call. This shows her dedication and commitment to providing personalized patient-centered care. She is also extremely responsive, and so is her office staff! Claudia, Angela and Fe are all incredibly knowledgeable, respectful and compassionate. Dr. Skalnyi has never made me feel bad for asking questions, and is very thorough when answering them. She is easy to talk to and takes her time explaining things and reassuring you. She goes above and beyond to ensure you can make an informed decision. Dr. Skalnyi is very mindful of patient comfort, always maintaining modesty and is so gentle with any procedure. She always prioritizes her patients preferences and makes a huge effort to get to know her patients personally. I really appreciated Dr. Skalnyi's calm demeanor, honest opinions, and constant support of my decisions throughout my pregnancy and labor & delivery experience. Most importantly, Dr. Skalnyi respects patient preferences while also maintaining patient safety. She advocates for her patients and I trust her 100%! I highly recommend Dr. Skalnyi to anyone and feel so grateful to have had her as my OB for both my kids. She is truly the best! read more

Dr. Skalnyi is the best of the best OBGYN. We moved to Bay Area recently, I got pregnant with our 3d child and had known no OBGYN to go to. Luckily my friends recommended Dr. Skalnyi. This was my first experience of pregnancy and baby delivery in USA. Dr. Skalnyi goes above and beyond all possible expectations. She is highly experienced and professional doctor, she answers all the questions in a very detailed way (3d pregnancy felt like 1st one due to almost 9years gap), [[HIGHLIGHT]]she addresses all of your concerns you may have.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She does not prescribe medicine or procedures just to be safe or do now reason, she is always taking into account the risk and value side of things. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Yes, I had few times when my appointment was rescheduled, but it was due to Dr. Skalnyi was having unexpected baby delivery[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. This is another invaluable reason why you should choose Dr. Skalnyi, she is there for you when you are in labor, even at night. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I wanted someone who knows all of my pregnancy history herself, not on duty doctor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our baby was born post midnight and Dr. Skalnyi was there!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]She listens to you, hears your concerns out and do not push "doctors own way".[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I wanted natural delivery, no waters to be broken, in a certain pose, etc. Dr. Skalnyi was very supportive and it all went as I felt most comfortable with.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]She truly CARES!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] What do you need during this 9 months vulnerable, sometime anxious, but happy journey? Someone you can trust and rely on 100 percent. And this is Dr. Skalnyi!!! Strongly recommend her and her office. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ms. Claudia, Ms. Faye and Ms. Angela are very attentive, responsive and kind people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thank you so much, our best ever doctor Skalnyi! read more

Dr. Skalnyi delivered my second baby on 11/6 and I have been a patient of hers for a few years. Dr. Skalnyi is truly one of a kind. She is incredibly knowledgeable and very well versed in the OB world. She is a very talented doctor, an advocate for you and your baby, and more importantly, a friend. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I told her I wanted a VBAC with my second and she supported me throughout my entire pregnancy, even through my labor. I ended up having another c section (which was out of her control) but she listened to me and never questioned my decision.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Having had two c sections, she was wonderful with my overall recovery, my incision, and postpartum care. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dr. Skalnyi is always available on her cell (I'm not kidding, always available) and whenever I've texted with silly questions, she's never made me feel like an imposition or a bother.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She is genuinely there to help and be a resource for you. From morning sickness, to back labor, and everything in between - she was there to put me at ease. During my labor and delivery, I was blown away by how many of the nurses at Mills Peninsula not only loved her, but respected her so much. I truly cannot recommend her enough if someone is looking for a new OB on the peninsula. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Her office staff is also wonderful which always makes your experience so pleasant everytime you have a monthly appointment![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

It is hard to express in words our gratitude to Dr. Skalnyi. She is simply the best doctor out there, and she is our number one recommendation. It was our first pregnancy and we were very nervous about everything. She is very attentive to details, very understanding, gives all the exhaustive information answering your questions. Also there are not too many doctors who give you their personal phone number to support in case of emergency. Needless to say, that no questions were left unanswered, and our beautiful daughter was born by calm and confident parents! Dr. Skalnyi has an amazing team. Claudia and Angela were helping us throughout the pregnancy and postpartum, and we really felt well taken care of. Strongly recommended! Thanks a lot to Dr. Skalnyi and her team! read more

Alla Skalnyi, MD - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Burlingame, California

Dr. Skalnyi is truly one of a kind and I love her as a provider. She was thoughtful, receptive, easily accessible thruout my pregnancy, and you could genuinely feel how much she cared about each patient. Her appointments do run over but that's only because she is so careful and never rushes anyone. I had some complications so couldn't deliver at Mills but she was my main provider for a majority of it and I can't thank her enough for helping calm my mind during a difficult and complicated pregnancy. Thank you Dr. Skalnyi for all you do! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Dr Skalnyi is awesome!!! She delivered all my children[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was great having her by my side[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Great doctor, great office - very happy with my care. They've been very accommodating and guided me through a few procedures that were done perfectly. Thank you! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Run, don't walk to see Dr Skalnyi. I felt so lucky to have her as my doctor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The attention to personalize care is what separates her from all other doctors - she treated me based on my circumstances and preferences for both my pregnancies vs a textbook of guidelines. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also she gives you her cell phone number and each time I texted her, she responded within 30 min.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Pregnancy is a stressful time so having the confidence your doctor is the best and she cares deeply about you helps tremendously.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]When I was in the hospital, the nurses said they go to her for their pregnancies which validates she's truly the best.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Dr Alla is the best. I moved from Seattle to San Francisco when I was 2months pregnant. I was praying to get a good doc and thank god I did. She is so talented , humble and the nicest person you will meet. This was my first pregnancy and I had so many doubts and queries. She had time to answer them all. She is responsive and the best thing about her is that she is present while delivering all her patients babies(Many docs don't go or go only in case of emergencies). At a time of covid also, she didn't leave her patients. And while taking all necessary precautions she was always there. Her team is also very good. They always call 1 day prior to remind us for appointments. Claudia and Angela - kudos to both of you too. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I have been going to Dr Skalnyi for many years.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Every time I see her, call her office or need anything they are always there for me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Dr Skalnyi has always been so supportive and helpful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I'm grateful for the team[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Dr. Skalnyi is simply the best. She delivered my son this year and it went smoothly despite some compilations with my pregnancy. As a doctor, she is quirky. She is not shy to speak her mind and give you straightforward opinions and guidance. At first it will strike you as different than the normal American bedside manner you may be used to, but that's precisely what I appreciate about her. I love that she has an opinion and that it is formed by both science and experience - and especially common sense. She thinks several steps ahead before recommending anything so there is no bandaid approach to any of her solutions. If I do get pregnant again, I will 100% be trusting Dr Skalnyi with my journey again. read more

Dr Alla Skalnyi is simply the best OBGYN in the area. She is super busy because she is helping to give birth to all her patients herself. It puts great stress on her and creates some unpredictability in the practice from time to time, but it is worth the wait. I love that Dr Skalnyi is respecting new mother's wishes. She is motivated by her patients needs rather than numbers; this is rare in contemporary medicine, where most put good stats first. Alla has lots of experience with all kind of cases, which is another great bonus. Staff in her practice are super helpful. Claudia will guide you through the paperwork and will submit it on time. Angela, the nurse, will take your vitals and give you valuable advice. All of them are working tightly together, which is nice and rarely seen. I would highly recommend Dr Skalnyi who helped me on my journey to motherhood. read more

My favorite Doctor! Dr. Skalnyi delivered 2 of my 4 babies. She also helped me through a traumatic miscarriage and provided care for my final child that I ended up changing to a home birth at month 6. Probably the best story that sums up the care she provides is with my final child, after I had already transferred care to a midwife, I ended up at the hospital for a non-stress test due to low baby heartbeat. Dr. S was there (probably delivering a baby) and I was afraid and rattled by the attitude of other doctors and staff. She stayed to run my tests and delivered the results to me and brought me so much peace to head home that day and wait out the delivery a little longer. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She deeply respects your wishes as a patient and truly cares for you as a person.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Yes, you have to wait a while sometimes for your appt but Tamara because she's following through on her promise to deliver the baby of other patients. So I'm always willing to wait. read more

This review is long overdue. Dr Skalnyi delivered our first child in 2021 and recently our second child this month. There are no words that can be good enough of how caring she is and how good she is at her job. She is a straight shooter and will give you the options and the pros and cons of each. All of the RNs while I was in the hospital both times, praises how much they all love Dr Skalnyi. She delivers all of her patients' babies, and is available for her patients when needed- even weekends! Dr Skalnyi- I cannot thank you enough for your wisdom and being there to deliver both of my daughters! Shoutout to Claudia, Angela, & Faye for always being so nice on the phone and smiles every time I'm in the office! read more

Dr. Skalnyi is my wife's OB. She's incredible. She does God's work. We always felt comfortable and safe with her. We could always reach her whenever we had concerns. She did such a great job keeping my wife's spirits up and helping us deliver a huge baby vaginally. She made all the right calls for when she should induce, when she should take the right medications, and how to deliver. Also, her office staff has always been incredibly friendly and communicative. Highly recommend her! read more

Dr Skalnyi is simply the best. She delivered my first child 3 years ago. I was pregnant with twins last year which was considered high risk with multiple complications along the way, but I feel reassured with Dr Skalnyi, she went out of her way to help me choose the right MFMs, procedures..she really cares and always honest with her opinions so I can make the most informative decisions. Her whole team is also very dedicated and caring. I'm forever grateful for having Dr Skalnyi as my doctor. read more

Dr. Skalnyi is among the best OBGYN in the Bay Area. This is my first pregnancy so I have no idea about the whole process, and fortunately, Dr. Skalnyi and her team made the process easy and enjoyable. Dr. Skalnyi will take the time to explain every little details about my pregnancy and goes above and beyond to make sure I feel comfortable during the whole process. Also her team (Claudia) made me feel welcome when I walked in, and she's always on top of everything. Before every appointment, she made sure you are prepared for all the ultrasound scans and blood tests, she even print out all the paper works with your insurance info attached so you don't have to do anything when you get to all your other appointments. (The best assistant ever wish every doctor's office are like her but we all know that's just wishful thinking) Unfortunately I had to move back to SoCal and leave Dr. Skalnyi. I wish I can stay but life happens. Even with me leaving at 22-week she made sure everything is done right so I can have a smooth transition to my new OB in SoCal. Thank you Dr. Skalnyi and your team. read more

I had a scheduled appointment with Dr. Skalnyi today for my first prenatal appt. Their office called me this morning to let me know Dr. Skalyni has cancelled my appointment and will not be accepting me as a patient since I had seen a dr last week for a prenatal. To provide some context, I wanted to see Dr. Skalnyi since June when my husband and I first decided to start trying but she didn't have an opening until August. I am new to the area so had to find a OBGYN anyways so I had to decide to make an appt with another dr to start simply start the conversation. Fast forward to September where I found out I was pregnant, I made an appt with the dr I saw in June as well as Dr. Skalnyis office and was transparent that the only reason I had made my prenatal with the other dr is because I had seen her before but would most likely move forward with Dr. S. They were totally fine with it and booked my appt. I am also new to the area so wanted to make sure I was going with the dr that made me most comfortable. I had my prenatal with my other dr yesterday and with Dr. Skalnyi today - Dr. S office even left me a vm to confirm with me yesterday, letting me know they do not allow visitors, which was disheartening. I received a call at 9am this morning by Claudia at dr. Skalynis front desk letting me know Dr. Skalyni has decided to cancel my appointment as she does not do meet and greets and sees I have already had an appointment with another dr. In disbelief, I struggled to understand and explained that they had booked my appt knowing this and that I indeed wanted to move forward with Dr. S per my experience. I told her that this was not a meet and greet and that I was really looking forward to being treated by Dr. S and quite frankly, in tears, begged to keep my appointment. Claudia said there is no way they would accept me as a patient and that I could not speak to Dr. Skalyni. In tears, I told my husband and he reached out, explaining that we still wanted to keep our appointment and how upset I was. Dr. S refused to get on the phone because she said I had an established relationship with another dr (who I saw ONE time) and turned me down as a patient. Moral of the story is, Dr. Skalyni is selective and childish about who she chooses as patients and treats a new, first time pregnancy patient horribly who was just simply looking for another doctor after seeing a doctor I didn't feel was the right fit. They will not book you if you've ever seen a past OBGYN. They should have never scheduled my appointment. Living in half moon bay, I had to block out 2 hours of my day for this. Even in tears, her and her office could not care less about the position I was in my first pregnancy. It is disgusting how they acted and seems like a blessing to have not been "accepted" per their ridiculous immature criteria. Picture attached shows she does indeed take patients who have an established relationship w/ another OBGYN. Perhaps she didn't take me cause I am Latina. read more

Alla Skalnyi, MD - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Burlingame, California

Best Obgyn I had ever met. She is wonderful person as well as best doctor. She delivered my baby last july and she made it very comfortable and easy for me. She was always available for me during my pregnancy. Highly recommend Dr. Skalnyi and her team for any OBGYN needs! read more

Nothing personal on the doctor. This goes to her receptionist, Fay (from what I could hear on the phone.) I called on 4/6/22 trying to get an appointment for a second opinion since my OBGYN said my baby didn't have a heartbeat but didn't so a Doppler test, and I wanted to make sure I did every possible testing and ultrasound I could to confirm that. (I could have been in denial or maybe not as far along as we originally thought.) I saw that Dr. Skalnyi had 112 reviews all with 5 stars so I wanted to go to her. I explained my situation to Fay and she said she will call me back later that day. She didn't. I tried the following day, 4/7/22 around the same time I called the day before. She said I haven't talked to the doctor, but I'll call you back later today. I didn't call Friday because I felt at that point, I'd be harassing them. My appointment with my OBGYN was schedule on 4/15/12, to take a pill to officially terminate my pregnancy. I was hoping to be seen and hear back from the office before then. NOTHING. I gave up. I called twice with the same response. So again, nothing personal on the doctor. But as a person who was expecting for the first time who hears that her baby doesn't have a heartbeat, I would have hoped and expected them to have a bigger heart and see what they could do to help someone who is grieving of a loss from their pregnancy. My note to Fay (if that was the name from what I heard), is to keep your word and follow up with the patients and talk to the doctor. Please work on that. Even if you haven't spoken to the doctor yet, just keep patients posted so you don't leave them hanging like you did with me. read more

Dr. Skalnyi was again my OB for my 3rd child (who is now almost 8 weeks old!). Another wonderful experience. As always, my monthly visits with her were very pleasant. She's dedicated, experienced, hilarious, and great with her hands (she'll be done with whatever she's doing down there before you know it). I have to say just one thing. Maybe two things. I had an extremely traumatic labor and delivery due to some prolapse issues (and this being my 3rd child), so Dr. Skalnyi spent a lot of time stitching me up to help prevent future issues. And because of this, I can happily and thankfully say that this is the best I've felt since giving birth to my first child almost 6 years ago (which was not with Dr. Skalnyi, BTW, as my previous review explains)! This is truly just unbelievable. She may have prevented me from having to get surgery in the future (fingers crossed). Another thing: she came in on one of her off days to see me because I was having some discomfort postpartum. She had not slept in like two days, but she still came in for my non-emergent situation. This woman works too hard. I mean, that's what everyone wants in their OB, but I hope for her sake that she can get some rest. Also, a third thing. Her team is small (just 3 staff members), but they all work very hard and they are kind and courteous. THANK YOU, DR. SKALNYI, for helping bring both my sons into this world. And for also helping me feel better down there. You are an amazing doctor and person and I hope you can get a good night's rest every once in a while!! read more

Best OBGYN! She delivered all 3 of my kids. Her and her entire office feel like they're my friends. Dr. Skalnyi is no BS, tells you how it is but is also 100% on your side. She works with you and what you want. She genuinely cares about you and tries to accommodate your wishes. She may run late or behind sometimes but that's only because she's delivering a baby. You can't want her to deliver your baby but not be willing to be flexible when she's doing the same for another patient. Also. Her entire entire staff is awesome. Claudia, Angela and Tatiana are the best. Love this whole office. Wish that she could be my primary physician too. :) read more

We loved working with Dr. Skalnyi. Since this was my first pregnancy, there were a lot of unknowns and nervousness on my end. Dr Skalnyi made herself approachable and even gave me her personal number to reach out to her in case anything came up. Another thing important to me was working with a doctor that would try her best for a normal delivery and only recommend a C section if absolutely necessary. We were extremely happy that Dr Skalnyi not once recommended any unnecessary procedures and supported me for a normal delivery despite my labor lasting for 24 hours. I highly recommend working with Dr Alla. read more

Dr. Skalnyi is an American hero. I found her here on yelp ten months ago when we found out we were pregnant with our first, and initially chose her because it felt important to me to have an OB who was committed to delivering the babies of their patients themselves. We are healthy with no history of health issues so I expected to have a run-of-the-mill pregnancy. My god I had no idea what a big deal that choice would end up being. 22 weeks into our pregnancy, we learned that I was high risk and would have to be put on bedrest for the remainder of my term (I am not a bedrest, chill out and stay still kinda gal...it was torture!). After nine weeks of bedrest at home and a few preterm labor scares, I ended up going into labor early, at 32 weeks. Throughout my bedrest, Dr. Skalnyi legitimately dropped everything anytime I had a question or a scare (I really tried to be discerning!), and no exception once I went into preterm labor. I was in labor in the hospital for a week, trying to hold off giving birth til my son was a little more developed, before having to have a high risk emergency c-section (kiddo was footling breech--a dangerous position). Not only did Skalnyi visit me often and communicate clearly and with deep care, she treated me with the concern of a family member. Dr. S gave me my c-section, and she's renowned at Mills Peninsula for being an excellent surgeon, even under tough circumstances. Baby was healthy, my scar is minimal and healing great, and thanks to Dr. Skalnyi's care, we were able to hold off our preterm labor risk from 22 weeks (not a viable baby) to 33 weeks (moderately premature baby). It meant the world to me that the person who decided when we would press "go" on the c-section and who did the surgery was the person who had cared for me and my unborn son the whole way through. She made calls I don't think a random OB would have made as a result. And when I was particularly down one evening at the hospital, she came by with a stuffed bunny from the gift-store to cheer me up :) don't let her straightforward, Russian toughness fool you--Skalnyi is a total softie under it all! Finally, her office staff is platinum standard. Claudia returned parental leave and insurance documents to me with breakneck speed, often the same day, where other offices might have/do ask for a week to ten days. Angela and Tatiana took fabulous care of us, and remembered every detail, every single time. Their office feels like a place where women are really cared for, where the sisterhood is respected and valued, and where tough and competent ladies take care of other tough and competent ladies, with love. My husband and I were not surprised to read about Dr. Skalnyi's family lineage saving Jewish people from the nazis--there is something about this woman, when you see her in action in high pressure situations like we had all the time in my scary pregnancy--loving, composed, hard-working as hell, and full of integrity--that is consistent with a lineage of gritty heroes. If you want a touchy feely OB who will talk to you at length about what music to play when you give birth, or who will talk nutrition at length with you, Skalnyi is not your person. She's probably great for normal pregnancies--I wouldn't know--but where she shines like a diamond is when you need a hero. So if, like me, you want someone who will be there personally and make brilliant game-time decisions and recommendations at all hours when things go awry, who will treat you like family when something unexpected and serious happens, go with Skalnyi. You really never know with pregnancy, and you don't want to find out the hard way. We owe her our son's life and our sanity a few times over, and we couldn't be more grateful. read more

Dr. Skalnyi is truly the best doctor. She doesn't make you feel like your just another pregnant patient but she actually cares. She sees ultrasounds all day everyday but she gets excited for YOUR baby which in turn makes you even more excited about your growing bundle of joy! She's always very informative and takes the time to answer all of my questions. I just gave birth to my first child 2 weeks ago and Dr. Skalnyi was so patient and calm during my long labor. She even took family photos for us after baby was born! The staff- Claudia and Angela are always so welcoming and helpful as well! Makes a big difference when not only the doctor is amazing but the staff follows suit. The reviews speak for themselves... make an appointment! :) read more

Best OBGYN EVER. I would give her 10 stars . If it was not for Alla, I would have never gone though this experience. She is an amazing specialist, very kind and has a huge heart. She loves what she does, you can feel this from a very first visit to her office. Her staff are great and always there to help. We Highly recommend Alla and I have been sending all my friends to her. read more

If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would. I met Dr. Skalnyi when my water broke and I was already in the hospital. I switched my OB last minute because my previous one kept mentioning a C-section and was incredibly rude to me my whole pregnancy. Dr. Skalnyi made sure that my concerns were heard and in spite of my long labor, she made me feel at ease and gave the utmost, best care a physician could give. That was three years ago. Recently, I went through a horrible, scary miscarriage and she told me that I could call her cell anytime I needed assistance. She stayed on the phone with me the whole time before I was sent to the ER. She goes above and beyond, and for that I am so grateful she is my doctor. read more

I was actively looking for OBGYN in Bay Area who can help to deliver my first baby at 35 age. Based on many positive reviews from my friends I felt so lucky when appointment was scheduled with Dr. Alla Skalnyi. She provided detailed answers to all of my questions during the visits and also via phone for urgent matters. At the end of my pregnancy I had high blood pressure and Dr. Alla Skalniy was actively monitoring the results from my blood pressure every day. On week 39 I was induced to have my baby boy as I was diagnosed with preaclamsia. It was a quick for the first time delivery, about 6 hours. Dr Alla Skalnyi was seeing me when my water got broken and again on pushing stage of the delivery process. She showed several delivery positions and I was able to successfully deliver my baby boy vaginally. Dr. Alla Skalnyi was so professional and quick with doing all the necessary procedures for me during the delivery. I felt very secure having Dr Alla Skalnyi in this important event of my and my baby's life. read more

This review is long overdue, but dr Skalnyi delivered my daughter (now 21 months old) as my OB was out of town. I had an elective c-section due to past complications with a fibroid and a previous c-section. My daughter came 1 month early so plans to have someone watch our eldest fell through and my husband couldn't be there for the birth. Dr Skalnyi delivered her then very kindly took her first photos (great pics too ). I really appreciated having a cautious, kind doctor there when my hubby and OB couldn't be read more

Dr Skalnyi and her staff are truly the best medical care I've received in my life. I am beyond grateful to them for two safe deliveries! Like many other reviews here, I experienced a lot of care and attention from Dr Skalnyi and her team. From dealing with gestational diabetes to postpartum care, I always had their support. I can't thank them enough. read more

Dr Skalnyi is an angel in real world. I started seeing her since 2018. She is so patient and kind. And her operations, gentle. So many concerns of mine before the office visit were magically cleared after talking to her. She not only treats my conditions, but also resolves my stress. I feel understood and connected, in tears of joy ToT read more

Dr. Skalnyi and team are amazing! I had a very clear idea of the delivery I wanted and Dr. Skalnyi helped me achieve this. I switched to Dr. Skalnyi midway through my first pregnancy and the transition was seamless. I chose her after touring MPHS and asking some of the nurses who would be most likely to listen to my wishes and allow me to labor as I wanted (all natural, alternative pushing positions, doula, and such) and Dr. Skalnyi was their suggestion. The nurses clearly knew best! Dr. Skalnyi respected my wishes while also discussing the what if's at each visit. Her team was always super friendly, prompt and attentive. Disability paperwork was always completed in a timely fashion and correctly. When things finally started rolling it was so nice to be able to touch base with Dr. Skalnyi via cell. She even offered to check me in office after hours (as I'd been in early labor at home for two days) rather than make me go into the hospital. I had been handling things at home well and wasn't even convinced I was in labor so I really wanted to avoid the hospital at that point. I discovered I was 5 cm and 100% effaced and she continued to respect my wishes for an unmedicated birth by offering me hospital admittance then or later in the evening. Once I did go to the hospital later that evening she was discreet but reassuring in her care, allowing me to work with my doula and labor as I wanted. She was patient when things stalled for me and she never made me feel like I was racing the clock to deliver. She even supported me pushing on my side. I came out of it all with a beautiful baby and not the tiniest scratch. She was also incredibly helpful and understanding of everything mom's struggle with postpartum (baby blues, breastfeeding) and she gave me honest, caring advice at each follow up. If I am lucky enough to be a mommy again I will absolutely trust Dr. Skalnyi with my care. read more

Dr. Skalnyi is every bit as good as everyone here says she is. You probably won't realize it 30 weeks after you meet her when your develop complications or go into labor that you find out just how good and dedicate she is at her profession. She might forget some of the trivial things like what week exactly are you or mix you up with another patient in the office. Let the minor stuff go...it is probably because she was up all night with one of her patients at the hospital just like she will be with you. When it is time, Dr. Skalnyi is this calming presence that you have complete confidence in. If you need someone to tell you that you look beautiful during labor (you probably won't), she may not be your first choice. If you want one fo the best ob's (and I have high standards)...best = competently navigating the complications of child birth, insurance, post partum care, and ultimately a healthy mom and baby...you should at least meet Dr. Skalnyi. BTW...she delivers her own babies...you won't be stuck with a random person you've never met before...if that matters to you. Finally, her office staff is on point. She must pay these people a lot as it is very rare to find such competent office staff that make you feel like you and your baby are the most important creatures around. read more
