I had an excellent experience with Dr. Rode and truly feel fortunate to have found her. She is knowledgeable, thorough, and incredibly personable. From the moment I met her, I felt at ease. She took the time to listen, asked thoughtful questions, and made me feel genuinely cared for. The visit was efficient but never rushed, and I left feeling confident I was in very capable hands. It's rare to find a physician who is both highly competent and so kind and present with her patients. The front desk was nice, had a kind, supportive nurse, and everything ran on time. Wonderful experience. I highly recommend her. read more

Dr Rode is the best. Very professional, and thorough. She did my hysterectomy and it's been life changing for me. The office staff are fabulous also. read more

I was seen in the ER for severe bleeding and was frightened and overwhelmed. When I was introduced to Dr. Anuradha Rode, she treated me immediately and, more importantly, truly listened to my concerns. Even though I was not originally an established patient, she guided me through every step of my care with kindness. When it became clear that I needed a hysterectomy, everything was explained thoroughly and compassionately. The surgery went smoothly, and the level of care I received before, during, and after the procedure was beyond exceptional. I am forever grateful for her care and kindness. read more

So many things about this provider and office are terrible. Dr. Rode is a "finger wagger" and dismissive. The office cannot schedule a well-women's exam more than two months in advance and they are continually booked. It is like trying to get tickets for the Rolling Stones. The instructions are "Call at the beginning of the month when the new calendar opens up. We'll put you on the waitlist until then." When I finally got an appointment, the office cancelled it the day before - things happen, I get it. But Dr. Rode then proceeded to scold me when I asked her for a two month courtesy refill because I couldn't get another appointment for TWO MONTHS. She gave me a one-month refill and stopped responding to my messages when I asked for another month. Literally WTF? Going through the same thing again this year. Just called for an August appointment and the "calendar isn't open". Luckily I have enough refills to get me through for a while this time. The ONLY reason I stay with this office is because they have a more holistic approach to medicine and take insurance. So bad. read more

I saw this provider expecting expertise in endometriosis as listed on their biography, but her response was a shrug and, "We can do ablation, but it just grows back" and offered birth control. Ablation is not the gold standard--excision is, ablation can make things worse. A truly knowledgeable provider would discuss better options or refer to an excision specialist. I left feeling dismissed and frustrated. If you need proper endometriosis care, look elsewhere. read more

Dr. Rode is simply the best. Ive had female issues since who knows how long. Heavy painful periods, etc etc. My old OB (I had for years) we had so many tests, treatments, trying to figure out why I'm in so much pain. Unsuccessful and then shortly after I felt like she gave up and was over me. After waiting months for an appointment and then getting cancelled the day of, numerous times, I knew I had to change my OB. Although she was nice, I felt she didnt take my sickness serious. I changed to Dr. Rode. Right then she was on top of everything with me. Trying to figure out why I was the way I was. After just one treatment she found I had endometriosis. If you know, you know how painful it can be. :( Anyways, Dr. Rode was really concerned And didn't waste no time. To basically some it up, she took care of me. Listened to what I wanted and didn't want. (Birth control meds) Then she Prescribed me heaven made meds and I have been great ever since. Thank you for caring Dr. Rode read more

I had the worse experience with Dr. Rode. I felt vulnerable and unsafe in the exam room with her. Dr Rode walked in the exam room late, looking angry and annoyed, behaved hostile, and was disrespectful and dismissive regarding my concerns. This was my annual women appointment, in which she spent five minutes in the room with me, performed a rushed physical exam, dismissed my questions and then left the room the same way she had entered. I had never seen a physician behave in such an unprofessional, inappropriate and uncaring manner. I felt humiliated, still in my robe sitting on the exam table. As a patient I have the right for effective and civil communication with the physician in the office visit. I need to feel safe to ask questions and not to be mocked. These rights were violated by Dr. Rode in the visit. read more

I was under the care of Dr. Rode for two pregnancies. The first one went okay. The appointments were rushed and I found her attitude inconsistent. Some days she would be really personable and other days it seemed as if she would rather be anywhere else. For the second pregnancy it was harder to get appointments and I saw a different LPN every appointment. My blood test results were lost and instead of looking into this for me, Dr. Rode and her staff insisted I never took the test. The test results showed up later that week and she did apologize. Then Dr. Rode prescribed aspirin but was not clear on the dosage. After asking for clarification she still was not clear, and I found out later I was taking way too much. She didn't apologize but seemed to blame me. I found a new Dr after that miscommunication! I went to Scripps Clinic which have amazing Drs. If you are looking for an OBGYN to handle your care during your pregnancy and delivery, ask a trusted friend! I found Dr. Rode on yelp and I wish I would have just asked around for recommendations. read more

This is long overdue! I had my first pregnancy and had my baby February 2022. Dr. Rode was exceptional as always throughout my entire pregnancy. With this being my first pregnancy I had a lot of questions and concerns, she as always was a huge help. I had a couple questions in between appointments and she responded quickly through the Scripps app. I went labor and she happened to be at the hospital, I had to get induced and was really nervous. I trust her as I have over the years and she talked to me about all of my options. All of my follow up appointments were wonderful as well. I'm now pregnant with baby #2 and am still having a wonderful experience with Dr. Rode. read more

I met Dr. Rode for the first time in May of 2023. I was impressed by how thorough, professional and gentle she was throughout my whole visit with her. I had just had my annual mammogram done one month before and it only showed the lumps that had been there for 18, 19 and 20 years respectively. The mammogram report said, "...your exam is negative for any suspicious abnormalities." But one of my lumps seemed bigger to me. Dr. Rode advised me to have an ultrasound done which clearly showed the cancerous tumor. My tumor was one of the rare ones that will not be visible in a mammogram image! It had already spread into the first three lymph nodes and I had to have a mastectomy. I don't know what would have happened to me if Dr. Rode had not sent me for this ultrasound. I think I owe her my life and I will be forever grateful to her! read more

A little disappointing, especially with the good reviews... my wife asked for a referral for a fertility center and she would give it, but not until we met again a month out. This woulda have delayed our preganncy by another month. Didnt seem to listen to her needs and was a little short/rude via chat. Her staff somehow referred my wife to an endocrinologist instead of a fertility center. When she mentioned this to Dr Rode, she got snappy about it. As another review mentions, she seem like she can be nice one day, and rude the next read more

If I could give her zero stars I would. She misdiagnosed me, had her office staff call me to give me results of an ultrasound she ordered for me to explain the results. When I told her that her assistant that called told me I had nothing serious on the results of the ultrasound, Rode said that was not true. She said I would need to go back for another round of ultrasounds to recheck. She put me through unnecessary stress thinking I had a serious health issue. I took the films of the results to a TCMC radiologist and she rolled her eyes and said there was nothing on the ultrasound of concern. I would never recommend Rode to anyone looking for a competent doctor. read more

My last visit was horrible here. I wouldn't recommend Dr Rode. I did really like her but at my follow up visit she didn't listen to me told me she doesn't have time to call my doctor that told me he saw some concerns on my lumbar MRI. Dr Rode said she didn't know how to read an MRI either. So basically I'm stuck because one doctor saw something not on the MRI report and she doesn't know how read MRI on CD. I will never go back. read more

Dr. Rode is an exemplary OBGYN and she forever changed my life. Her support, guidance and incredible expertise can allow anyone under her care to feel at ease and have complete trust that she has their best needs in mind. I spent my entire young and adult life suffering with terrible periods and the major suspicion that I had Endometriosis. Countless other doctors would do no more than prescribe birth control. It was under her care last year that I was finally able to be diagnosed and treated. During Covid restrictions and among all growing obstacles, she fought for approval to schedule my surgery. I was beyond grateful to have her in my corner. She performed 2 laparoscopic surgeries on me, three months apart. First was to diagnose the Endometriosis, remove a ton of Endo growth (almost entirely through excision) and separate my bladder from the uterus (which I didn't know was happening, but explained a lot of my discomfort). During the laparoscopy she found that one side of the uterus was almost completely absent. This explained why my periods were extremely painful and how my anatomy was hurting me. The second laparoscopy was to do a hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy (removal of fallopian tubes). Her bedside manner and genuine care went above and beyond from her office, to surgery, to post treatment. She was there to check in on me after surgery and called once I was home. Her team of nurses, anesthetist and Dr. Gerber who assisted her in the first surgery were also top notch and made me feel comforted when I wasn't able to have family or my wife with me during either of these surgeries. If you are looking for an incredible OBGYN that goes above and beyond to ensure the best care and choices available to you- choose Dr. Rode. She is life changer and an angel I will always be grateful to have met. read more

There needs to be more stars for Dr. Rode. I have been her patient for about 6 years and I absolutely adore Dr. Rode. She has gone above and beyond to care for me and deliver my girls; and pretty much saved our lives both times. Dr. Rode is always so kind and thorough at my appointments and is so quick to respond to any questions or concerns I have via messaging. I always look forward to seeing Dr. Rode and feel like I am with a family member when I'm with her. Dr. Rode has a special place in my heart and I cannot recommend her enough! read more

Anuradha Rode, MD - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Oceanside, California

See all

Dr. Rode is an amazing OBGYN. Highly, highly recommend her. Having a baby during COVID was not easy. Primary care doctors appointments everywhere were cancelled, surgeries were postponed, every pregnant cough or headache was approached with utter fear and anxiety by me, but Dr. Rode was there for me. Dr. Rode checked in on me. I don't know what I would have done if she was not my doctor during this time. Dealing with secondary unexplained infertility, Dr. Rode was sensitive to my desire to conceive and she went above and beyond to offer solid medical suggestions and referrals so that I could say I tried everything. I did have fibroids that we could not tell if were causing the infertility or just making me uncomfortable, so she sent me for test and labs, and she never gave up on me. In fact, when I gave up on myself and said I was done trying and wanted a hysterectomy, she was the one who told me to take time and really think about the hysterectomy versus another myomectomy (fibroid removal) and waiting to try to conceive again. As it turned out, with her conscientious approach to my care, we discovered that somehow I had become pregnant. I was high risk because of fibroids and my post-35 year age. Dr. Rode continued to surpass my expectations at each appointment with a calm attitude, a fabulous bedside manner, patience with my constant questions, her trademark sense of humor, and something not often found in physicians, faith. Dr. Rode was the one who kept my spirits up and reminded me to stay positive because of this utter miracle that was my pregnancy. Repeat cesarean at the start of lockdown was definitely jarring. No hospital visitors, limited capacity maternity floor, and limited nurse visits was a mental defeat. Dr. Rode continued to call and come in to check on me after delivery. She filled that void left vacant from family not being able to visit my baby, she became family that day. I am truly grateful for Dr. Rode's care. I would, without hesitation, recommend Dr. Rode to anyone in search of an OBGYN. Post delivery follow up appointments did not disappoint. I was offered virtual appointments, if that felt more comfortable to me. I appreciated both that offer and the availability for me to come into the office. As it turned out, I wanted to go into the office because I was experiencing shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, night sweats, and fatigue. While these could be typical post-pregnancy symptoms, they also had me panicked. Dr. Rode did not dismiss my symptoms and in fact, conferred with other physicians on the phone to figure out if I needed COVID testing or other alternative care. It turned out to be Post Partum Anxiety, which was able to be managed. As if that isn't enough already, we still had the fibroids to deal with. While they were a threat during delivery, Dr. Rode was patient and explained everything clearly so that I knew what to expect with them during and after delivery. It was too risky to remove during the cesarean, so they had to stay. That being said, I knew I was done having babies so I opted for a hysterectomy. Dr. Rode was so patient and understanding with my circumstance. A hysterectomy at 36 years old is not the most common thing, but neither were my painful fibroids. Dr. Rode helped me to feel more at ease about this. The day of procedure was stressful because the hospital was dealing with oxygen issues in the surgical room, but Dr. Rode literally moved Heaven and Earth to find a room to get my procedure done because many of the other patients had to reschedule that day. As for the hysterectomy with fibroid removal, let me just say this woman is a miracle worker. I am still in disbelief about the size of the fibroids she removed, the intrusiveness they had caused in and around my stomach cavity, and the affect they had on my body. The recovery on this surgery was again, alone in the hospital, but Dr. Rode checked in, shared stories about the fibroids, and explained that she was able to save the ovaries and partial cervix that I had desired to try to keep. This review is entirely about her because I want anyone looking for a new OBGYN or curious about Dr. Rode, to get a viewpoint from someone who has been with her through multiple issues and will recommend again and again. Dr. Rode will go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable. There are other people and patients that exist in an office and a hospital, and despite them taking priority in times of emergency or scheduling, Dr. Rode will never leave you unsure. Life is unsure and unpredictable, but Dr. Rode is not. I really wish she was the only doctor I ever had to see again, because I know I would be in great care. read more

Dr. Rode is truly the most amazing doctor I could have asked for to help me with my two pregnancies. She was always very professional, a great listener, very understanding, the staff working under her were always very on top of everything and always provided me with great customer service. It is hard to find quality doctors like her that make you feel that they really care. I am very thankful to Dr. Rode because during my first pregnancy I was going through a separation along with other issues and she was truly the reason why I kept it together during that rough time. Any time I had an appointment I never felt rushed by her, and she was always so willing to answer all of my questions during my visits. Before my appointment ended she would always ask me if there was anything else she could help me with. With that said, I highly recommend her to anyone who is searching for a great OBGYN for prenatal care. She was the best decision I made, especially when I was a newly expectant mother, she made my delivery experience so easy. read more

First things first. Dr. Rode is amazing, I love her. Picking a new Dr. was a challenge, but I'm happy I found her. She was very comprehensive and patiently answered all my questions throughout my pregnancy. She is very friendly and is always smiling. She made me feel welcome at all my prenatal visits. If you get a chance to meet her you will agree with me. Please consider her as your health provider. read more

Dr. Rode is really awesome ! Was referred to her by my primary and she makes you feel welcomed and is very friendly. If you don't have an OB think about coming here. read more

Dr. Rode was referred to me by Scripps. She has been wonderful and so compassionate. I highly recommend her. Her office staff is also very helpful and friendly. Thank you Dr. Rode! read more

Dr Rode is a very compassionate, caring and down to earth physician. She helped me through a very difficult time. I am so thankful for her care! read more

Dr. Rode is by far the best obgyn I have had. She listened to my concerns and offered treatment. Today I feel like a whole new woman because of her help. Not just an obgyn but a surgeon as well. God bless you Dr rode! And her nurse as well, such a sweat heart and caring as well. They both deserve a recognition of great patient service. With my previous 2 obgyn, she is hands down the best in my eyes, she knows her practice skills well. Thank you Dr and nurse GiGi. read more

Dr. Rode is one of the finest doctors I have ever met. We were what you would consider a high risk pregnancy. Our's was a long journey, filled with a few highs and many lows, that eventually brought us to meet with her during the pregnancy with our first child last fall. So it's not hard to imagine how important finding the right OB was for us. Every step of the way, Dr. Rode was thorough and insightful. Her calm disposition and sense of humor were reassuring each time we met. She answered every single question we had at every appointment, regardless of how long it took, or how how many other deliveries she had that morning or the night before. She gave clear direction, providing us with latitude to make our own decisions, but still firm when necessary in her instruction. It's hard for me to put into words the confidence I felt - which Dr. Rode inspired - on the day that we delivered. Despite all the stress and concern for my wife and our baby, the years we tried just to get to this day, the emotion and anxiety of hoping for a smooth delivery (not to mention the wild fire threatening our house at the same time - no joke), when Dr. Rode came into the delivery room, I immediately felt everything would be ok. And it was. My wife and I are not the only two that feel this way. It's easy see the impact on her immediate team and the nurses and admins in her office, nurses and doctors in the delivery unit, and the other doctors we met with in the Ultrasound office. All of them speak so highly of her. It's clear to see she has the respect and admiration of everyone she works with. It is truly well deserved. If it was possible to give 10 stars, that's what we would give her. read more

I couldn't agree more with the previous review. Compassionate, warm, empathetic... she has such a calming presence. I have and will continue to recommend her to anyone I can. Wonderful. read more

I recently had surgery by Dr. Anuradha Rode and it was the best experience I've ever had in a hospital.. I am 22 and have never had a surgery before, I went to the emergency room at Scripps because of a sharp pain in my stomach and next thing I knew Dr. Rode was explaining I need to go in surgery to get my fallopian tube removed due to an ectopic pregnancy. I was already close to fainting the whole time I was in the hospital due to anxiety, Doctors and hospitals usually scare me. Although Dr. Rode made me so comfortable explaining what needed to be done. Before they put me out for surgery my anxiety was already calmed thanks to her. And when I woke from surgery the pain was gone and I was so happy and pleased with the care that I received it makes me tear up thinking about it. I had over a liter of blood in my stomach and I was told by a nurse I could have died. The way I see it my life was in Dr. Rode's hands and she saved it. I appreciate her from the bottom of my heart and I hope that everybody who needs care like this gets it from her or at least somebody as talented and educated as her. Thank you Dr. Rode, from my whole family for taking amazing care of me. read more

6 years ago at Hoffman Estates, IL, Dr. Rode treated my wife with compassionate affectionate amazing care. My wife gave birth to our first baby boy via cesarean. We remember Dr. Rode very often. The warmth is still fresh. We miss her association. She is the best Doctor ever. read more

Anuradha Rode, MD - My dad painting of Dr. Rode in happiness of grand child birth. - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Oceanside, California

BEST OB/GYN DOCTOR EVER!! I love Dr. Rode! She's the best! This was my first experience in everything and I was really scared, but Dr. Rode made me happy, & comfortable. The best part of my pregnancy was that she was able to deliver my baby. I had the best pregnancy because of Dr. Rode! Thank yoouu! read more

At the beginning between my first and second trimester Dr. Rode was very nice, answered my questions/concerns, and took the time to explain things to me. However, towards the end of my 2nd trimester she began telling me that I needed to do certain things and take this and that vaccine. She did not offer any alternatives until I pushed her to provide one. After that she became very dismissive to my requests and rushed through our appointments. I asked her if there was another alternative to taking the glucose juice for gestational diabetes testing and she said no. I had to insist on a second alternative and she got upset and told me that I'd have to monitor my glucose levels on my own 4 times a day for 2 weeks which was totally fine with me. Then when I submitted my results to her she quickly said that she would refer me to their diabetes center so that they can deal with me and teach me how to eat properly even though my results were good. She should have offered those 2 options at the beginning! Then she told me during 3 visits that I had to get 3 sets of vaccines even though I previously emailed her and asked her to respect my wishes in declining any vaccines for myself and my baby and asked her to list that information on my records. As a future mom, I know that I have the right to have more than one option presented to me. And she is definitely not someone who is willing to go the extra mile to do that. When I asked her if she was the doctor assigned to me for my labor she said no one would be assigned to me. That it just depends on who would be on-call that day. Shouldn't that have been the first thing mentioned to me? She knows it's my first baby and yet she waited until my third trimester to drop this on me and waited until I asked! I'm very disappointed that I was assigned to her and wish I would've done more research on her. read more

My wife and I switched Doctors late in my wife's pregnancy. We were looking for a Doctor who simply listened and cared. We found that and so much more in Dr. Rode. She delivered our beautiful baby on in December. I remember seeing Dr. Rode working on my wife who had a C Section. I felt so confident and so supported knowing my wife was in such great hands, caring hands. We go to Dr. Rode for follow up appointments, which we look forward to, since she is such a smart, caring person. My wife was experiencing the baby blues, and Dr. Rode made her feel so much better. Explaining that it was normal and that she knew it wasn't easy. She let my wife know there were medications if needed, but wasn't hasty to prescribe anything. The baby blues went away shortly after and we continue to do follow up appointments. If we are blessed with more children, I hope Dr. Rode will be the Dr. to deliver them as well. I can't believe there's not a waiting list to get her as your Doctor. Scripps is lucky to have her. My young, small family is so happy and thankful she could deliver our first son, Dylan, into this beautiful world. read more

There are not enough good things I can say about Dr. Rode and her team. I had a fairly traumatic end of pregnancy when I found out my Insurance wasn't covering my existing OBGYN or the hospital I was supposed to deliver in (4 weeks before I was due). Luckily I found out before giving birth(!) and found Dr. Rode in-network and practicing at the hospital closest to our home. It was very scary to switch doctors and hospitals last minute, but from the minute I met her I felt 100% comfortable. She read my chart, talked to my previous doctors and was well prepared to care for me and my baby. From the start, her staff: Sarah, Melissa and Daisy were all SUPER STARS; they were there for me every step of the way! Dr. Rode has a kind bedside manor; she runs on-time and really cares for her patients. She actually helped me chose the best birth plan for me and my baby for the safest birth and I couldn't be more appreciative! In the hospital we had a few issues with the nursing staff...but Dr. Rode quickly spoke with the head of nursing to BE SURE we would be well taken care of from there on out (and of course we were)! We love her and will continue to use her...even for the next baby in 18 months ;). read more

Dr. Rode performed surgery on me yesterday and was absolutely fantastic. She is kind, understanding and thorough. She made sure that I knew every aspect of my surgery including the risks. She answered my questions before I could even ask them. Thank you SO MUCH Dr. Rode! I feel great and have a new lease on life now! I would most definitely recommend her to everyone!!!!! read more

I moved out of state and miss Dr. Rode so much! Wish she was still my doctor. She truly cares for her patients and takes time to explain and talk through things. I hope I find myself back in California, I would definitely go to her! Highly recommend :) read more

Dr Rode is a wonderful and caring doctor. She took care of me through two pregnancies, and she always made me feel like I was her only patient. I never felt rushed and she always answered all of my questions in great detail. She is always warm and caring. She always made me feel at ease and I was so happy to have her support, especially on my children's birth days! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Rode in multiple experiences, for which I can say she is a warm and compassionate person, has excellent bedside manner, and is an outstanding physician. During routine prenatal care she always made the effort to get to know me and my husband, and she addressed all pertinent medical issues related to pregnancy. She kindly let me dictate how I wanted my pregnancy to go but also offered her opinion on what other options were available and what was a safer approach. When an emergency arrived, Dr. Rode acted quickly, efficiently, and appropriate; which in turn resulted in a good outcome. Her dedication to her patients and her practice put her above others in the field of OB-GYN. Her office is convenient and the staff is knowledgable and friendly. I hardly ever had to wait for my appointment and scheduling was always easy to get in. I will continue as a patient with Dr. Rode and I highly recommend others to her practice. read more
