She is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and easy to talk to, which made me feel supported throughout my 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.

Dr. Powar is exactly to the point, he has this amazing quality of not making the patients panic and discuss the topics which is relevant for the situation. My whole pregnancy went smoothly with so much ease and confidence all due to Dr Powar. When I conceived again in 2023, without a second thought our choice was to be with Dr Powar ( even though we live not too close to the clinic but it's all worth the drive). During my second pregnancy, I was in 35+ age category and again he made it super breezy without making me worry for any ifs and buts. Dr Powar is super prompt in responding to messages even if it's a late night or weekends- you can be assured to hear back from him. He comforts your doubts like a guardian and doesn't bring anything unless it's required to be discussed. Even his staff and nurses are super prompt and stay on the top of things. If there's any doctor I would have opted to birth my kids- it will always be Dr Powar. His exceptional knowledge, experience and phenomenal style of handling patients has made all the difference. Thank you Dr Powar.

I feel so lucky to have been referred to Dr. Parsian! She is a very caring, patient, smart,…read moreexperienced, and funny physician who keeps up-to-date with the latest research, not only in OB/GYN, but also on female health overall! I normally am accustomed to being given bare minimum tests and treatments, even at top-tier practices, but Dr. Parsian was thorough and really detailed in asking many thoughtful questions to ensure that I get all of the proper breast tests, labs exams, referrals to other good doctors, etc. Here's an example of Dr. Parsians skill/care: because younger women have dense breasts, the xray tech behind mammograms doesn't always reliably show their cancer. (Almost 50% of women have dense breasts.) No one but Dr. Parisian took this into account and offered me additional testing via ultrasound! Any woman who wants to be listened to and cared for to the maximum will love this doctor! She's also hilarious and so relatable so if you're tired of being treated like a child when you're simply asking questions about your own body, this is the doctor for you. She is honest, real, brilliant, and deeply caring.

Dr. Mannon was fantastic in the delivery room -- clearly confident and in control, but also surprisingly warm by the modern medical standards I've come to expect.

Dr. Mannon has been with Menlo Medical for over three years (previously Chicago Med School and UCSF), during which time, she estimated, she's been delivering babies at a rate of 10 or so a week.
