I have mixed feelings about this place. At AkermanMed, you have to be seen by every Obgyn and…read moremidwife before you can officially choose a provider. Wait time can get pretty long depending on the day. For the positive, I would say that after meeting everyone, Dr. Lao was the best here. She was caring, empathic, and knowledgeable. She listened to every concern. She was also a great surgeon. My pregnancy and delivery experience were made better by her. Sarah who works the front desk was also very friendly and sweet. Now for the negative. I had an IUD placement at the office by Dr. Barr that ended up being a very traumatic experience. I received a diagnosis afterward that the IUD perforated through my uterus into another organ. I wish that the deployment was stopped if something didn't seem right. Some offices offer ultrasound-guided IUD insertion, so look into that instead. I felt like I went through hell and back the subsequent months after insertion. The office tried to fix it, but the experience just went downhill from there. I had multiple procedures, but it couldn't be removed. I requested CT/MRI scans, but didn't get them. The IUD location was discussed as possibly being in the stomach cavity, which it wasn't. Scheduling appts were also difficult. I ended up going to UCI and thankfully met an experienced Obgyn who found it through ultrasound, confirmed with MRI scans, and collaborated with another specialist to remove it for me. All in all, I would still recommend Dr. Lao for pregnancy and childbirth. However, I would be hesitant to recommend anything else here.

I then called my PCP twice, and they informed me that there is simply no "prior authorization" for this type of OB/GYN visit in their system. I then confirmed this with my insurance company, and they also verified that no prior authorization can be issued for this type of care. I clearly explained this to the doctor's office, but they still require something that either does not exist or cannot be obtained. I reported this provider to my insurance company so they can investigate why this doctor's office is not complying with the contract they signed with the insurance company.

I agree with everyone here: Dr. Ogez rocks. A lot of reviews for gynecological care tend to be from…read morefolks who are pregnant/are planning to be pregnant/delivered a baby, so I figured I'd throw my review in here since I do not intend to have children so my care experience is oriented around wellness visits / preventative care -- so if that's the boat you're in, read on! :) I know many forego gynecological care because it can feel invasive and nerve wracking. I certainly am someone who fits into that boat, as I have so much anxiety around doctors offices and anything medical. Also as a queer individual, there's an extra layer to reproductive care that (in my experience) is often overlooked. Dr. Ogez is so thoughtful, patient, and informative in her practice -- I've never felt safer during a wellness exam. Her bedside manner is exceptional; I felt heard in what I was saying during my visit, and also felt empowered about making choices about my body because Dr. Ogez took the time to really talk through things with me (and it is so clear that she stays very well informed on contemporary approaches to gynecological care that help empower patients.) That enough is worth 5 stars for me, but I should tack on that the office was so well organized that I think I was in the waiting room for about 3 minutes in totality? And then maybe waited alone in the exam room for about 2 minutes. The visit itself did not feel rushed at all, and yet I was stoked on how quickly I managed to get in and out of the office. Highly highly recommend.

This is my second…read morepregnancy, first pregnancy I was on a whole other boat and was not content with either of my obgyn's. However, this time i am so grateful for my insurance because I was able to choose whoever I wanted to go to within my network and I found her. There was no hesitation whatsoever. She is young, patient and wise when it comes to bedside manners and her making choices with you about what is best for you and your baby. The office staff is professional and friendly. The office itself is very clean. Whenever I got to my appointments the nurses were all so sweet. I never had to wait a long time at my appointments, except for one time when Dr. Ogez was not there and someone else had to see me so they had to read my chart to get familiar with my pregnancy status, which was understandable. I can't wait to share with you all my experience once I deliver. I will be back to update this review but for now, I'm blessed with Dr. Ogez as my OBGYN.

And before even entering the room I was waiting in, I hear her tell a nurse if I knew I lost the baby. She said that in front of all the nurses and people waiting in the waiting area. That is how I found out I miscarried. She then proceeded to say I needed a D&C even though I wasn't far along. I paid so much money out of pocket for her to even do the damn procedure and not including what the hospital charged me. She didn't offer any support or guidance whatsoever when I became very depressed and wouldn't even sign a form from my job that was asking for two weeks off to cope with my heavy bleeding and depression. She absolutely destroyed the experience of doctor and patient relationship. She truly broke me with the experience. As a woman, mother and daughter I don't recommend this place.
