After I had gotten home from my appointment, I just felt compelled to say how much I love all of girls working at this office. Every single person in there today made me feel taken care of and relaxed and they're just the best. And thank you for that smores cookie from Cookie Good it really sealed the deal with a great experience hah! I've been seeing Dr. Colin for about 6 years now and she remains the best I've ever seen. I feel so fortunate I have her so close to where I live and after the nerves I had today for my procedure I left feeling so good and relaxed after it was done. Everyone there is amazing and I can't recommend them enough. Also the new office is so cute and bright and has great views of Santa Monica, I can't wait to see it once it's all done and perfect! read more

This review is long overdue. I absolutely love Dr. Colin and her entire office team. She delivered both of my children, and each time was an incredibly positive experience. I never feel rushed during appointments--she treats me with kindness, patience, and grace. Her office staff is equally amazing. Erica, in particular, is incredibly organized and supportive--she made my maternity leave process so smooth and always made me feel welcome. I truly can't speak highly enough of this wonderful team. read more

I couldn't recommend Dr. Colin more highly. She has cared for me through two births and one high-risk miscarriage with extraordinary compassion, thoughtfulness, and expertise. She takes her time with each patient, not optimizing for speed, but for thorough, attentive care and meaningful support. Her knowledge is unmatched; she's caught complications very early and provided incredibly personalized guidance every step of the way. Dr. Colin is also deeply impressive in the delivery and operating room: calm, confident, and exceptionally skilled. Beyond pregnancy and birth, she's been a true partner in my overall health, supporting me with thoughtful supplement regimens and guidance on everything from hormonal balance to detoxing between pregnancies. She offers a level of care that is both clinical and holistic, and she truly sees the whole patient. It's rare to find an OB who brings this level of insight, presence, and care to every stage of life. Her staff is equally wonderful; they are warm, caring, and consistently supportive. They go out of their way to make you feel comfortable, informed, and taken care of. From start to finish, every interaction with her practice reflects the same high standard of compassion and excellence. I feel incredibly lucky to be in Dr. Colin's care. read more

The absolute worse experience. Would not recommend to anyone. Not only are you always waiting an hour + to be seen they will lie to you and take no responsibility. I'm doing self pay and by the end of the first trimester I paid the first fee of $3,333 cash. Every time before I got bloodwork I asked what was included and what would be out of pocket. Erica even wrote down what I had to pay(below) and said everything else would be included. There was NO miscommunication, I was very clear when asking what I would have to pay before the blood work was done. After being charged extra multiple times, I decided to switch care. I received three invoices for bloodwork, two for over $80 and one for $171. When I called Erica to ask why I got sent these she acted just as surprised as I was and reassured me that would be it. Three weeks later I got an invoice for $900!! Absolutely insane, I was never told about a $900 blood test. When you're pregnant and vulnerable you want care that you can trust in every aspect. I was lied to over and over again about what was included and what was out of pocket. At this time, I already paid Dr. Colin's 3,333 for the first trimester fee. I only had 2 app so that meant I paid $1666 per appointment. I figured there was some credit owed. Instead, Dr. Colin's decided to keep the money for herself and said there were no refunds. She said my only option was to come in for a third app which was unnecessary bc I already switched care. That would mean each app was 1,100. I told her I'd rather her pay the 900 blood test which was suppose to be included instead of coming in for a third app. Again, Dr. Colin's would rather keep the money for herself and said the third app was my only option. I was lied to repeatedly and taken advantage of. They don't care about you if you're pregnant they only care what they can get out of you. I wish I listened to all the bad reviews and never came here. read more

Dr. Colin is an exceptional provider. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable, but she also shows deep empathy for her patients. She supported me throughout my entire pregnancy and beyond, always making herself available whenever I needed her. She even called me back at 5 AM when I had to go to the emergency room while pregnant. If I were to get pregnant again, or if a close family member or friend were expecting, I would make sure Dr. Colin was their OBGYN. I trust her completely. I also want to express my gratitude for all her help during my postpartum period. She provided excellent guidance with medication management and helped me understand the challenges of postpartum recovery. Thank you so much, Dr. Colin--you truly do it all! read more

I don't understand how this practice finds it okay to charge a "membership fee" of $360, regardless of how often you will use their services. This is in addition of them charging the insurance. It is absolutely ridiculous! read more

I usually don't write negative reviews about doctors but I had to speak my truth so that people can be well informed and know the truth about Dr. Collins... The one and only time I actually saw Dr. Colins was for an annual exam. I waited TWO FULL HOURS after my scheduled appointment time to see her, which was such a waste of my time. When I actually saw her, she started pushing every imaginable type of birth control on me and wouldn't listen to me when I told her that I am very sensitive to trying higher doses of hormonal pills. Well, somehow she convinced me to get on another birth control pill to control my endometriosis pain that was in fact a higher dose than what I'm used to and I ended up in the ER with what I originally thought was a stroke. I woke up after day two of taking this birth control going blind in one eye and with a cluster headache. Dr. Colins costed me an expensive ER trip that could've been prevented if she just would've listened to me instead of rushing to get me out of her office I informed her staff that I did not want to see her again and they still blew up my phone suggesting that I get the gardasil vaccine. This doctor is bad news and just wants your money. Dr. Colins only cares if you're pregnant or want surgery. Try looking elsewhere and steer clear of this woman. read more

Dr. Colins seems to have made some changes to her practice so I wanted to update my review. I've experienced really long wait times in the past, but last time I went I only waited about 30 mins total from arrival to procedure which is pretty typical for a doctors office. There's also been some changes in staff and the new office person was very friendly and professional. I had some complications with a device (at no fault of Dr. Colins) and she was very thorough in working through a tough situation, and I really appreciated that. read more

Dr. Colin is truly an amazing doctor!! It's so hard to find a doctor that listens to you and gets to the root cause of your health issues. I've been to numerous doctors that just gas light me and brush off my concerns - especially with my hormones. Dr. Colin is a breath of fresh air. She spent a long time in the room with me, addressing all my questions. Thank you for helping me through it all. Her team is always so welcoming and friendly too! Highly recommend this practice! read more

I have been to see Dr. Colin 3x in the last 2 months, and every time I've had to wait over an hour, in the room, half naked. The office staff does not check in on you, give you an update or let you know what is the hold up. Today after waiting almost an hour I put my clothes back on and left. It's completely disrespectful of my time, just because she is a Doctor does not make her schedule more important than mine. Also, they send you an excessive amount of texts and emails leading up to your appointment and then when you get into the office they want you to fill out a ton of paperwork. Did I not do that in advance to save time? Today they also asked me to put a CC on file. I refused, as I've read many reviews about the mismanagement of their billing and I don't feel comfortable with them being able to automatically charge me before I have the chance to thoroughly read what I'm being charged for. Needless to say I won't be back, which is a shame because I liked her a lot on my first visit. But a relationship with your Doctor requires mutual respect and she doesn't seem to have any for her patients (who aren't pregnant as it seems by the reviews). Perhaps JUST focus on delivering babies if that's all you care about? read more

She is lovely but so unreliable, always late (hours!!, not minutes), doesn't return messages or emails AND calls this concierge service. Feel completely ripped off. read more

I will recommend Dr. Colin to EVERY mommy-to-be I meet. Her genuine and detailed approach with your care makes all of the difference. During my pregnancy I had a few complications towards the end, during labor, and post pardum that Dr. Colin closely monitored and treated including pre-eclampsia. I felt comfort in her calm and positive presence, confident in her experience and education in her field, and lastly I was grateful that she took as much time as she did to ensure the health of my child and myself. If you want a Doctor that goes the extra mile, Dr. Colin is for you. The only precaution, and downside to an amazing doctor is the wait time. Since you are waiting, along with everyone else in the lobby, to see the same medical provider, it will sometimes take 60+ to get into a room for your appointment. Just plan your appointments around time or days off work. In my opinion, it was well worth the wait. In fact, I would have waited longer, knowing she was my doctor. At the end, I got this amazing little baby girl that I believe is healthy due to my doctors incredible ability. Thank you Dr. Colin! read more

Dr. Colin is seriously the best. She is very attentive and takes her time with her patients. I love that every time I book my appointment I know who my doctor will be. Dr. Colin's office recently implemented a membership program and it is absolutely worth it. I recommend Dr. Colin to all of my friends looking for a new OBGYN. read more

I STILL absolutely LOVE Dr. Colin and have been with her for many years now including the birth of my first child and now going through my second pregnancy. She does sometimes have a bit of a wait but I have found it easy to just call ahead and ask if she's running late so I know whether to head there a little later or not. She's so thorough and does not rush you at all which is why she tends to run late some days because she lets you ask any and all questions or concerns you may have versus rushing you out the door. Front staff is also awesome. Special shout-out to Rachel who is always so incredibly pleasant and nice to deal with! read more

To preface this review, I am not a fan of writing bad reviews, but it is essential to share my experience, mainly since I also researched for a new OBGYN (It is important!). I saw Dr. Colin back in late 2020 regarding my Nexplanon. I came in for a consultation and had to wait almost an hour in one of the patients' rooms, only to be seen for 15 minutes. Afterward, I had my second appointment in 2021 to get it inserted (and was told that my insurance would cover it). I got charged for tests I did not ask for, which I still paid out. I thought everything was done until I went to my new OBGYN last year, and I mentioned that the rod felt uncomfortable (esp. during exercises) but manageable. I was then told that my Nexplanon was inserted incorrectly as it was too close from under my skin. Since this was my first time getting it inserted in my arm, I figured it was just a minor inconvenience as part of the implant surgery. That being said, it was immediately removed and replaced right away. I just thought I would move on from this, but I got charged with another bill in February with no context until I got a hold of her accounting team, which put a sour taste in my mouth. I've called my insurance and was told that the accounting team mistakenly added the wrong billing codes and that they would need to resubmit it for payment which did not happen for over two months. After following up multiple times, getting a bunch of reminders to pay the bill, and being ignored by their accounting team, my insurance contacted their front office to let them know they would handle the readjustment of the billing themselves and that it would be paid out. This long and frustrating process has made me feel like there needs to be more care for the patients and finances in the backend. read more

Fast forward several years later and thanks to COVID, I was sent email spam from Dr. Colin's office... which reminded me that I have an update for how my story ends. My final visit some years ago with Dr. Colin ended with her pushing me toward hysterectomy for fibroids. I sought a second opinion with Dr. Michael Johnson at UCLA, who told me surgery was not necessary and instead, placed me on continuous oral contraceptives. I remained on them through menopause and - not only did it minimize the bleeding from the fibroids, but it made menopause a breeze. 3 years out, I'm doing just fine - no surgery necessary, contrary to the dire predictions of Dr. Colin. So yeah. Go to Dr. Johnson instead, he's got a great bedside manner and unlike many OBGYNs, he takes an interest in you even if you're not pregnant or trying to be. read more

I've been to Dr. Caroline Colin nearly 10 times over the last year and each time has been a wonderful experience. Her front office staff is always kind and organized. Dr. Colin is very caring and I feel like I've received the highest quality care possible. She listens intently and explains things very clearly and in detail. She spends a lot of time with each patient and she's always up to date with your medical history (unlike other healthcare offices where you barely see the doctor). If you find yourself waiting to see her, just keep in mind that it's likely because she's spending extra care with a patient, and she'll show you the same courtesy. Women's health and pregnancy in a very personal journey and I'm so glad Dr. Colin is there for me. read more

Never again. Several times I've waited in her office, with just a paper gown on, for HOURS. I make a long drive to see her, but no call to tell me she's running late? No check in while I'm sitting on her table? And then the office is surprised that I leave after (my record) 3 hours? Pass. Go to a Providence or UCLA doctor nearby. read more

When you become pregnant, there are infinite decisions to begin making. At the top of the list is finding a doctor who can somehow be the perfect combination of wisdom, skill, modernity, and empathy. Short of detailing the incredible nine month journey that I was lucky enough to spend with Dr. Colin, I can only say that my pregnancy (from the first ultrasound to the delivery room) was really magical, and it was largely because I navigated it with her. (Olivia is also the most warm, kind person you could ever hope to meet, let alone have on your team as you move through pregnancy! So grateful for her!) read more

This was my very first time pregnancy and we are so glad we found such a great, professional doctor like Dr. Colin. She is very calm, willing to listen to me even though she is very busy and very professional! I would absolutely recommend Dr. Colin!!! read more

I truly do not believe that 5 stars is enough for Dr. Colin. She is the most compassionate & knowledgeable doctor. She is diligent & thorough and will speak transparently about her recommendations for you. Every office visit has been so pleasant, her staff is amazing. Thank you Dr. Colin! read more

Searching for a new doctor for my pregnancy, that's when I found Dr. Colin. Her care and attention to my needs were met. Her office is always nice and clean. Sometimes there is a bit of a wait, even with an appointment but I don't mind because at the end of the day she is a fantastic obgyn! During my labor she was great. I called her when I was starting my contractions and she said once I was on my way to the hospital to give her a call. I did just that. I arrived at 11am and didn't give birth to my little one until 10pm. She did need to intervene and break my water, which I asked for. I also asked what is the procedure, and she explained everything perfectly to me. I was pushing the baby out for 4 hours. Once it got closer to probably the last hour, that's when she was there to receive my little girl. She was just so wonderful thought out my labor, delivery and discharge from the hospital. I cannot recommend her more highly. I hope I can have her as my doctor for when I have another baby. Unless I move, this is where I'm keeping my care. read more

I visited this office in September 2020. I had to wait for 2 hours outside the office as they were running behind (was told it would only be a 30 minute delay when I arrived) and was then seen for all of 10 minutes. However, the real reason I am writing this review now is that today in January 2023 I am being charged for those services. The bill includes charges for tests not covered by insurance. Tests I did not ask for, and tests I did not even receive results for (I checked my portal and there are no lab results for the tests, just the charge on my account). read more

I had a 1:00 appointment on a Thursday. I showed up and no one was there! The door to the offices were locked, no one answered the phones, and I haven't been able to get into contact with anyone since. I have never experienced such a lack of professionalism before. They also make you pay your copay in advance, so now I have to dispute that charge with my credit card company. I've been waiting months for this appointment, took time off work, and was treated with a complete lack of respect and consideration by a "medical professional" read more

AVOID THIS OFFICE. They are completely disorganized. Wait times of over an hour regularly. But that's not the worst - the worst is that they are fraudulently telling patients that they accept their insurance, when in fact they don't, and then the patient is stuck paying out of pocket or arguing with their insurance provider. ILLEGAL BUSINESS PRACTICE. read more

It's tough to write a negative review because Dr. Colin is very kind but I did not have a great experience at this office. 2+ hour wait times and a really upsetting opinion about the state of my hormones that turned out to be so wrong. If you are looking for general gynecology, I would look elsewhere. read more

I can't overstate how negative my experience with this doctor's office has been. I was told by Dr. Colin that I was a good candidate for BRCA screening as breast cancer runs in my family. Her staff drew my blood and told me I would be receiving a call from them or the lab letting me know my options from there. Instead, the test was processed without consulting me on cost, and the lab Dr. Colin's office chose was out of network for me (why they chose it, I don't know). I have been dealing with this since June, calling my insurance and the lab to tell them both that I never approved the test. They want to charge thousands of dollars for it. Now, the lab has asked me to submit an appeal to my insurance because they believe the request wasn't handled properly, and I see that the doctor's office submitted my information to the lab and my insurance with my name spelled completely incorrectly. Is this the source of all the confusion, or at least some? Probably. Stay far away from this practice. They're sloppy and negligent and have caused me more headaches than I can count. Update: My insurance company informed me that they never even received the medical necessity form or medical records from the doctor's office. The doctor's office insisted today that they were given the wrong fax number-- if they had bothered to follow up after trying to fax it (3 times) they would have known it was not received. They then tried to pin the incorrect spelling of my name on me, the patient, saying that I could have changed it in my patient portal. I was not aware of this at all, and I asked them to change it manually as soon as I realized it was spelled incorrectly. Unfortunately forms have already gone out to the lab and my insurance with the misspelling and I am still not sure if they will be processed correctly. A nightmare-- avoid at all costs. read more

FRAUD. UTTER DISREGARD FOR PATIENTS. Not going to go into a whole thing, just for your sake GO ELSEWHERE: Charged me $900 for IUD saying insurance won't cover. They cancelled appt. for IUD. Rescheduled for 8 am two weeks later. Showed up, had me undress, and proceeded to sit for 30 minutes. No doc. Stick my head out and ask what's going on. Says doc always runs late. Calls doc and then tells me she is at an appt with her lawyer; won't be in until after 9. You were going to have me sit there naked for an hour? You knew you had an appt. with me at 8! I say I will wait; they tell me that they actually can't do the IUD today because of where I am in my cycle. My cycle didn't change from when I made the appt. so why didn't you discuss that then. Luckily all this happened because I went to a different doctor and found out: 1) My insurance COVERED the entire IUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2) It could be inserted at anytime in your cycle. Have my IUD and an amazing new gyno...Dr. Klevens! read more

As the previous reviewer so accurately stated, Dr Colin is truly exceptional. She recently delivered our first son and I cannot say enough positive things about both my prenatal and delivery experience with her. As someone hoping to have a natural vaginal birth with minimal interventions in a hospital setting, I was first attracted to her by her very low C-Section rates. When my husband and I first met with her for an introductory appointment (I met with several OB's before making a decision) she blew me away with the sheer time she spent with us. Having been rushed in and out of other offices prior, she spent almost an hour in the room with us answering all of our nervous "first timer" questions. And she did so with a warmth and levity that I find really hard to come by. That first experience was matched throughout my pregnancy. It's true what other reviewers mention in regards to often having to wait for in-office appointments. However you can understand why that is the case and how worth it is once she enters the room with you. The wait is her giving EVERY patient she sees the care and TLC she'll also give you. I especially love her balanced approach to pregnancy. Though she's extremely up to date on all things western she also doesn't discount the value of eastern practices & holistic complements to a traditional western model of care. She's also extremely patient - something very important leading up to labor (my baby stayed put after my due date and she honored my wishes not to be induced so long as we were both healthy) and during labor (she respects the power of pitocin and utilizes it with a "least effective dose" approach if needed). As another reviewer mentioned, I also very much appreciated the referrals to specialists she offered to ensure you get the highest level of care and feedback on unique issues. Leading up to the start of my labor she was extremely responsive via text, often answering questions within minutes. She was also the perfect zen balance of command and calm in the most intense moments in the delivery room. After our son was born, she performed his circumcision. Both our pediatrician and a NICU nurse who was on call during the time expressed how impressed they were with the quality and precision of her procedure. The office environment is lovely and low stress. Her support staff is fantastic. Bills are fair & easy to understand. None of the crazy overcharges you sometimes see providers try to push through your insurance. Thank you Dr Colin and team for such exceptional care! read more

The wait!! She's great, but you have to take at least half a day off work to come in for a routine appointment. Parking is difficult, expensive and cash only. read more

Dr colin is a very friendly thorough doctor that makes you feel super comfortable when you're visiting her in the office. She is very professional and spends a lot of time with you to Discuss whatever it is you're there to see her for. She is a great doctor and I highly recommend her. read more

I found Dr. Colin after having a frustrating experience with another OB-GYN's billing staff. She was with me from a seamless D&C she performed due to early miscarriage to a complicated birth. Her bedside manner is easy-going yet professional, and very caring. She spends all the time you need during appointments and never rushes, hence the wait time during appointments, which I find well worth it. My birth experience was very crazy, but Dr. Colin kept me calm and brought my beautiful son into the world. She also followed up with me everyday until I was discharged from the hospital. The front desk/assistant Olivia is also amazing. I never had a problem with appointments or billing. She is organized and very friendly. read more

The best doctor! One of my absolute favorites in LA. I've been seeing her for many years now and she just delivered my first baby. Excellent bedside manner and always takes time for you when you need it. Can't say enough positive things about this very amazing doctor. Sometimes a wait for appointments but they have been doing such a great job during COVID. read more

She may be a wonderful doctor BUT after waiting 45 minutes I got up and left. Totally disrespectful to my time. If you are unemployed or have plenty of time then give her a try but those of us who work cannot take 2 hours to see a doctor for a checkup. read more

So impressed with Dr. Colin. After moving to the westside I was on the lookout for a OBGYN and I found Dr. Colin based on her incredible reviews right here on Yelp. I had to wait a couple months to get an appointment, but it was worth the wait. Dr. Colin is patient, friendly and has wonderful bedside manner. I had a question the following week and called her office and she returned my call within two hours. read more

Horrible experience as first time patient 15 weeks pregnant. Waited 3 hours for appt. and then was told by Dr Colin that the patient before me was very important conversation as an excuse for making me wait so long. She was very robotic and uninterested. Tried to charge me extra fee for being a new patient and ultrasound even though that is all covered under my top of the line insurance. Absolutely horrible experience for my husband and Me especially after being so excited to find out we're pregnant and meet our doctor and see the baby and learn about the 9 month adventure. I highly do not recommend Dr Colin. There are amazing doctors out there that will make the experience wonderful and are worth avoiding doctors like her. For example, Dr Sabnis, Dr Ferro, Dr Valle & Dr Field ! read more

THE WORST OFFICE. I waited 90 minutes to see Dr. Colin for BOTH of the appointments I had during my current pregnancy before switching to another provider. I had to do a bacterial swab to test for infection, and I got the results back almost 2 weeks after the test was done with instructions to get a prescription filled, long after the symptoms were gone. Also, Dr. Colin didn't even do the swab test when I was in the office for my appointment, but asked me to come back 2 days later when I called to say that I was still having symptoms. Multiple trips for a working mom because she "must have forgotten" to run the test that was needed. It's a million things like this that made me feel unsupported and like my care wasn't being effectively managed. I lost trust in this doctor. The straw that broke the camel's back was when I went for my Nuchol test, got scary results, and tried to call Dr. Colin to discuss the situation. SHE DID NOT RETURN MY CALL FOR 3 DAYS. I couldn't get through to ANYONE in the office. I decided to switch to another provider after this happened, and CONTINUE TO RECEIVE $800 BILLS FOR THE CONCIERGE FEE regularly, after seeing this doctor two times. The office staff is rude and overworked, and my current OB has sent 4 written requests for my records over the course of the past 5 months, without receiving ANYTHING AT ALL. I'm due in 1 week, and I finally got notice that they are preparing to send the records, along with a "bill" for 65$ that will be automatically charged on the card THEY STILL HAVE ON FILE 6 months after I stopped seeing this doctor. I understand trying to punish ME for deciding to switch providers, but this is about my BABY and having a healthy birth. This honestly feels like negligence. Too little too late. I already had all the blood work redone by my current OB anyway. I've NEVER written a review of a doctor before, but the problems with this doctor feel significant enough to share. read more

FINALLY! I found a great doctor! Dr. Colin, is very easy going, as well as soft spoken. She is matter of fact, but knowledgable and makes you feel at ease and comfortable in the MOST uncomfortable situations. 1. Her office is serene and beautifully decorated. 2. The online patient portal is great and easy to use in communicating with her 3. She personally contacts you with test results and advice and is very nice to speak with 4. Elizabeth her assistant/receptionist is kind and very helpful and easy to talk to, and both Dr. Colin and Elizabeth remember WHO you are when you call. Dr. Colin is a real find and I have recommended her to many of my girlfriends. read more

Half an hour wait in the waiting area, then another 2 hours, sitting naked in a cold room is norm at Dr. Colin's office! No respect for your time. Then she comes in and rushes through the annual checkup, tells me she'll email list of things, that she never did! Insurance bill had some interesting charges that never happened that day (depression screening! What???? When) then I guess the payment from insurance wasn't enough, she has to send me a new bill that's not covered by insurance and when I questioned them, they said it's for "miscellaneous charges"!!! Paid for it only not to deal with a collection agency but will never go back to her. Also had upcoded the Mammo which cost me a lot out of pocket as well. read more

My favorite doctor -- and one of my favorite people -- ever! I have delayed in writing this review because I honestly cannot articulate high enough praise to give when it comes to Dr. Colin. Last summer I became pregnant with my first baby and had to find an OB -- I had recently moved to LA and did not have one yet. We searched the Internet looking for a good match, and my husband found Dr. Colin and thought she seemed perfect. I feel so fortunate that we found her, because I could not imagine going through my pregnancy and birth experience without Dr. Colin. My husband and I were super nervous at the first appointment, but Dr. Colin and her assistant, Elizabeth, put us at ease. The office is very calming with a spa-like waiting area. Throughout the entire pregnancy, Dr. Colin answered all of our questions, kept us informed about everything we needed to know, and made sure I was growing a healthy baby boy. She has a great ultrasound machine and used it to check on my little man at almost every appointment It was such an amazing experience to be able to see him grow throughout the pregnancy! She sometimes even turned on the 3D function, which was super neat. We also felt as though Dr. Colin truly cared about our little family on a personal level and was excited to be going through this with us. Her happiness and excitement added to our amazing experience. The birthing experience was also incredible. It's all a bit of a blur, but I look back it with such happiness. The moments after Dr. Colin delivered my son were full of joy, laughter, jokes, and voting on a name -- while Dr. Colin and my nurses worked swiftly at checking the baby and putting me back together. We moved to San Diego after my son was born in March, and we were really sad to say goodbye when we drove up for my follow-up appointment. If we end up having a second child, we have already discussed what we will need to do in order to have the baby with Dr. Colin again. It would definitely be worth the drive to LA. Plus, I can't imagine having a baby with a different doctor. Clearly, I love her. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Colin! read more
