    [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's been almost a year and I always think about how great my delivery experience was with Dr Broad![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm so happy I went to her for my pregnancy (more babies to come) Every check up was attentive and we did all the scans and blood checks necessary to make sure everything was normal. My baby was breached so we had a planned C-section. The whole process went incredibly smooth and quick. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dr. Broad is very caring and she tries to help as many patients as she can.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I appreciate her so much!!

    I can not recommend Dr. Broad enough! For years, I was told that I would never conceive naturally and would have to do fertility treatment. Dr Broad was the first doctor who listened to me and gave me a natural approach to reverse PCOS and have kids naturally. She is extremely knowledgeable, took her time with me at every appointment, is very kind, and truly changed my life! I listened to everything she said, and the first week of trying we got pregnant! I delivered a healthy baby boy a few weeks ago with Dr Broad and it was the absolute best experience. I fully trusted her and felt at ease in the delivery process, and it went seamlessly. I can not thank her enough. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I moved and still drove a few hours each appointment to see her... she is SO worth it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I don't just feel like a patient there, I feel like family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also- her entire staff are so helpful and intentional- especially Rosey and Jonathan.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Truly a great experience!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dr. Broad and her team (everyone from reception to billing) were there from the very first moment to the very last.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They knew me by name, were very attentive/informational/welcoming with my husband and I as first time parents, and were especially kind when it came to being mindful and cautious of my medical trauma.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Every step of my pregnancy and birth was collaborative, and they really watched out for me. They were super vigilant of preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and my mental health. I went from being told by other providers I would never have children, to conceiving naturally and having Dr. Broad be the one to deliver my baby herself. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She does it all, and you'd never know it with how humble and approachable she is.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This practice saved my family's life and future

    I went to Dr. Marinescu for a second opinion on heavy menstrual bleeding causing anemia. I will…read moresay: the doctor speaks softly and comes across as kind and well spoken. I had no problem with his accent. That is all for the positives. *If you value your healthy reproductive organs, be warned. This doctor seems a bit too eager to part you from them.* Despite no other patients, I waited a very long in the waiting room and again in the examination room. This gave me the opportunity to closely observe that his examination room was dirty, with dusty equipment, old dust on devices, between buttons, in corners. After sitting through all that, I was handed consent forms for an invasive biopsy without proper explanation. I protested. Only then the doctor came in and informed me he was diagnosing me with adenomyosis, just off a general ultrasound ordered by my PCP. He immediately pushed for a hysterectomy. When I said I still wanted children, he discouraged me heavily, saying I would have a hard time conceiving and then carrying a healthy pregnancy given my age (40) and the condition of my uterus. When I said my prev pregnancy was a quick natural conception and easy, he brushed it off as a fluke. Dr. M. kept pushing hysterectomy, telling me how skilled he was at performing it laparoscopically. I left the office confused. When I later requested an MRI (the gold standard for this diagnosis), it showed no indication of adenomyosis. The office still pushed for surgery, so I cut contact. Two years later, after unrelated surgery, pathology confirmed my uterus was completely healthy and capable of pregnancy. Dr. Marinescu's rushed diagnosis and mistaken pregnancy prognosis (the claim I couldn't not conceive) was a factor in my decision to include hysterectomy in my other procedure - a decision I now regret. To make a long story short: Dr. Marinescu pushed unnecessary sterilization surgery. His office was dusty. Stay away.

    Words cannot express how deeply grateful I am to have found Dr. Marinescu. He was my second opinion…read moreafter I was diagnosed with a massive 14 cm dermoid cyst on my left ovary -- which had doubled in size during pregnancy -- along with a new, smaller cyst on my right. My original surgeon panicked, telling me he could no longer perform the surgery laparoscopically, that it would need to be open surgery, and most devastating of all -- that saving my left ovary would not be possible. As a brand new mom with a 3 month old hoping to grow our family, this sent me into a spiral of fear and heartbreak about my fertility. Dr. Marinescu was the complete opposite: calm, compassionate, and confident. While he was realistic that there were no guarantees, he believed there was a good chance he could save my ovary and even do so with robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery. After days of tears, the moment I met him, I felt a sense of peace. I knew I was in the best hands. My experience with Dr. Marinescu and the entire Hoag Hospital system was nothing short of exceptional. I never waited more than 10 minutes for any appointment, lab, or scan. Everything was organized, smooth, and patient-centered. The surgery prep was seamless, the staff were warm and reassuring, and I went into the OR feeling truly cared for and at peace. When Dr. Marinescu came out to tell my husband that the surgery had gone great -- and that he had saved both of my ovaries -- my husband literally cried. It was such a relief that this was all behind us. My only regret is that I don't live closer so that Dr. Marinescu could be my OB for future pregnancies. We live in Ventura County and gladly traveled the distance because we knew this was the doctor we could trust with something as precious as our fertility. Thank you so much, Dr. Marinescu. My family and I are so SO happy that we found you and trusted you with this surgery!!! Brianna

She delivered both of my healthy baby…read moregirls, and I will always be incredibly grateful to her for the care she provided during such important moments in my life. What makes my experience special is how I first met her. During my first pregnancy (2022), she wasn't my routine doctor... it just so happened that she was the on-call doctor the night I went into labor. Looking back, I truly feel lucky that she was there that day, because it gave me the chance to meet the wonderful, caring person she is. That experience alone made such a lasting impression on me that I knew I had to switch to her practice for my second pregnancy (2026) and I'm so glad I did! From the very beginning of this second journey, she has shown an unmatched level of dedication, compassion, and expertise. What truly sets Dr. Howe apart is how deeply she cares about her patients. She is exceptionally knowledgeable and always took the time to answer my questions thoroughly, making sure I felt informed and confident every step of the way. During my second pregnancy, which was unfortunately high-risk, her calm, skilled approach helped guide me through what could have been an overwhelming experience. One moment that really reflects her commitment was when she personally called me on the morning of my delivery while I was already at the hospital. She checked in, reassured me, and walked me through the induction plan for the day. That level of attentiveness and genuine care is rare. Dr. Howe goes above and beyond for her patients, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

    I have been a patient since before Dr Howe bought the practice - 28+ years. In my last appointment…read morein 2021 everything went well, except they couldn't help Me with menopause. However today it was a different experience. I don't understand why Doctors or PAs can't be on time and they think it is ok to make patients wait 45mins to an hour before being seen. They ask for us to be 15min early but yet they don't care about time! If I was 45mins late for My appointment with my CFO I would be fired. Not ok! In addition, in 2021, I was told that they did not focus on Menopause and that I needed to go to a specialist if I needed help! Now at my visit they seem to be all about it! Which is a bit too late! Looks like I will be switching doctors as they don't seem to care about loyalty and patient care. Very disappointing.

I had a high risk pregnancy and vulnerable to preterm labor both times, so I was in Newport twice a month). The distance was well worth the care I received. I lost several pregnancies before having fertility treatments, my fertility doctor recommended Dr. Flora and I am so glad she did! She was very careful in her monitoring and even urged me to stay in the hospital on bedrest, even when I wanted to go home. I now have two healthy babies (who could have both come super early and not survived) thanks to Dr. Flora and her team! I will continue to go to her for annual check ups.

She sees many patients and runs a tight ship, but I never feel rushed during my visits.

Dr. Kent always has a genuine smile on her face and answers all my questions, that need to be answered, as well as reassuring me with all. Dr. Kent preformed my hysterectomy (due to cancer prevention) years ago and I couldn't be happier. For those of you here that are complaining about the wait time, any and all good doctors, have a wait time. And kudos to Dr. Kent for trying to help all those that are in need to see her (why not think of it that way). And, for those of you that say she may not remember 'you' as in your face, yet might remember you by your Vajaja, maybe that's a plus, she's not a plastic surgeon for crying out loud. Do I care if she remembers my face each year, NO, what I do care about is the quality of care & smarts. For those of you that stated you had no idea she moved and couldn't find her office for 30 minutes, pleaseeeee - if that's the case..... I am surprised you were the fastest fishy!

I guess they're busy enough that they don't need to do what most other doctor offices do to get business.

    Horrible experience!!…read more My experience with Dr. Karamardian's office (PACWHA) has been extremely frustrating. The front office has been consistently poor when it comes to appointment scheduling, time management, and patient care. Since September 25, 2025, I have repeatedly requested copies of my medical records by both phone and email, yet I still have not received them. Having to make multiple requests over many months for something so basic is unacceptable. Appointment scheduling was another major issue. Despite booking appointments months in advance, I routinely waited 45 minutes to over an hour before being seen. The front desk would simply justify the delays, often explaining that multiple patients had been scheduled, but they never apologized or acknowledged the inconvenience. To make matters worse, I specifically scheduled my appointments with Dr. Karamardian, only to have them changed at the last minute to a physician assistant or nurse practitioner because the doctor had been called into surgery. While I understand emergencies and surgical obligations arise, repeatedly rescheduling patients without adequate notice or offering alternative options demonstrates poor scheduling practices and a lack of respect for patients' time. Overall, the quality of the administrative staff and office management significantly detracted from my experience.
