At 47, I sought help for clear perimenopausal symptoms that were affecting my quality of life. I felt my concerns were dismissed because I wasn't experiencing hot flashes or night sweats, and the idea of HRT treatment was not seriously considered. When discussing options to alleviate some symptoms due to the release of low-dose hormones, I was encouraged to get back on the Mirena IUD. When I raised concerns about the excruciating pain during prior insertions, I was told to take ibuprofen for the "mild discomfort." Despite advocating for appropriate pain management ie. gel or spray lidocaine supported by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and other current gynecologic guidelines, with new their recommendations on Pain Management for IUD insertions, other In-Office Gynecologic Procedures. As a female doctor, I thought she'd be supportive of this guidance; however, no meaningful options were offered. Additionally, a "suggested" STI test was added to my well-woman exam and labeled as "standard," with no prior history or symptoms, nor my concent resulting in an unexpected bill. After multiple calls between the office and the lab, I was initially told I couldn't decline the test, which was never ordered in the past. Ultimately, my chart was updated to opt out, confirming it was indeed "optional" after all. The front desk representative, Stephanie, was rude, condescending, and unprofessional in handling the discrepancydue to having to call several times to address the issue before it was resolved. I've had unpleasant experiences with staff being rude on other occasions, and although they can be kind, that hasn't always been the case. Overall, I left feeling unheard both medically and administratively. Patients deserve individualized, evidence-based care, informed consent for "suggested" testing, transparent billing, and appropriate pain management. I am now researching a new provider for better patient care.

*WARNING! REVIEW CONTAINS SENSITIVE AND TRIGGERING TERMINOLOGY/SUBJECTS*…read more I have never been shy of sharing my journey with Stage 4 Endometriosis and cancerous ovarian cysts. I was diagnosed at 16 with this horrific illness and still suffer into my 40s. It is one of the worst conditions imaginable and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemies but being that 1 in 10 women suffer in the US alone... I am not alone in this hellscape that has no cure or treatment. Despite being in perimenopause; my cysts are still out of control and I recently had a two-pronged crazy emergency: 1) I had so many large cysts that they were a danger to me and needed to be vacated 2) the cysts made my body think it was pregnant and created a sac! I basically needed an emergency procedure in the vein of a surgical abortion so that it be would less evasive than cutting me open like a frog in a high school biology class. I have Medi-Cal public health insurance and my gynecologist said to go through Family Planning Associates. I have seen my Medi-Cal health plan boast about Family Planning Associates but I never thought twice about it because I assumed it solely services for expectant mothers. What is FPA, ACTUALLY? FPA is a system of private clinics founded in 1969 (several locations in LA and Orange counties) that provide gynecological services, STD testing, pap smear testing, cancer testing, birth control, the distribution of condoms, the expectant mother services I assumed and... the ever so controversial: abortions. Basically, Family Planning Associates is like Planned Parenthood's cooler, rich cousin as it is not publicly funded but instead a privately-owned medical group but luckily DO accept public insurance in addition to private insurance. Plus, they have AMAZING Yelp reviews at every location, online, etc; so, I was feeling good about my gyno's suggestion. I initially called FPA in Glendale and explained my situation and that I basically need a surgerical abortion for my endo. The female (it seems all locations are teamed with an all-female staff: woo hoo!) was so very kind, patient and said that their location doesn't provide that service but she can make me an appointment through the computer reservation system for another location versus making me have to make an additional call. I was quite relieved with this being I was already anxious and made an appointment for the Mission Hills location. Amazingly, they had openings the very next day (each location only does these procedures one day a week) but I opted for the next week. While waiting for my appointment, FPA sends you texts to fill out online paperwork in their portal to speed up the process upon arrival and offers online supplements to prepare you and answer any questions beforehand helping to ease any confusion. They also send reminder texts and are with you every step of the way. The Mission Hills location of FPA is located in lovely building that almost reminds of an apartment building or hotel and isn't 'shady' in the least. Also, a bonus: no protestors outside which I honestly was expecting and I was ready to give THEM a lesson on endometriosis and the importance of saving women's lives. The office opens to spacious lobby with natural light, artwork and a large television and has a calming presence which is important in such a stressor-setting. Check-in was easy and the female staff at FPA Mission Hills were also super kind and courteous. I will complain about the fact that the cellphone internet service signal is awful at FPA. Even the employees complained but that is often the case at medical facilities. I won't get into details of the procedure as Yelp isn't the place for that but I will say that I was in great hands. I was worried that FPA would be ill-prepared for my endo and ovarian cysts with little experience; but all of the staff seemed confident and the doctor was amazing being educated and professional but also with a friendly, disarming bedside manner. I had slight complications when I woke up from my anesthesia and they took care of it immediately. After two weeks; I returned to FPA Mission Hills for my recovery checkup and I was met with the same kind service from staff who answered all my questions with expertise and even some humor and assured me that if I have ANY issues moving forward; to call them without any hesitation. Luckily, they said I was healing perfectly which is actually shocking for my 5x autoimmune body. One of my favorite parts of FPA is that they have a 24-hour nurse on hand to call with any issues or questions and they kindly text you after the procedure reaching out with the lovely intent of asking if you are healing well. FPA definitely makes you feel secure in your recovery. FPA is amazing and absolutely recommended to the fullest extent for all your gyno needs with private or Medi-Cal insurance. You are in good hands with FPA!

When I discussed this with him, he shrugged me off. I wish I had been given some sort of warning.

I have been a patient at Facey for almost 30 years, but over the past 5-6 years it has become…read morenearly impossible to schedule appointments within a reasonable timeframe. At this point, it's almost laughable! Appointments (especially with any specialists) are now booked four months or more out. I scheduled a first-time consultation with Dr. Sofia Avitia for 12/26/2025. I made this appointment back in September! Then, on Wednesday 11/26 I received a call in the afternoon informing me that the doctor would not be available on 12/26 and that I would need call to reschedule. When I called them back on Monday 12/1 after returning home Thanksgiving vacation, I was told the next available appointment was March 6th!!! Keep in mind, I'm seeking this appointment because I'm having swallowing issues. So after scheduling in September, I now cannot be seen until March, which comes out to reaching a six-month window. This is exactly why I say the scheduling situation has almost become laughable and completely unacceptable. I went ahead and grabbed the March 6 appointment just in case I cannot find another doctor sooner, but given my symptoms, I have no choice but to search for someone who can see me within a reasonable amount of time. Considering the inconvenience, I expected at least some level of priority, but instead I felt like I was treated as if I were calling to make an initial appointment all over again. What is really going on at Facey? It is now almost impossible to make any appointment at a reasonable time. I honestly believe they will soon reach a six month scheduling window, which is crazy.

I requested for a blood work to see what's going on with my health. I got my blood drawn at the office and told to wait for 2 weeks for a tele-health phone appointment for the results. Last Friday I was scheduled at 12pm for that call. The day went by and I received no call from the PA or doctor... I called this Monday and was told to make another appointment because the PA or doctor forgot to call me back. I got scheduled for today's appointment at 10:40am.. few hours pass by no call. So I called the office and the front desk lady said the PA will give me a call by 4:45pm or 5pm. Again the time got changed around. After 5pm I still have not received any call. At this point I am struggling to just find some answers and figure out what's going on with my health. The management there is so unprofessional. No one seems to care about patients health. I feel bad for the pregnant women who go to this clinic now because I've seen how long of a wait they all have to wait as well to be seen at the office. Service was never this bad before.
