Dr. Ramos is truly the best in the game. I've always had a hard time connecting with doctors, but…read moreDr. Ramos shines like no other. Throughout my pregnancy, she made every appointment special by doing an ultrasound every time, which was such a comforting touch. She's empathetic, funny, genuinely excited to see you, and her top priority is always you and your baby's health. During my labor, there was a moment of downtime when she had to step out for an emergency, and the nurses mentioned I might be heading toward a c-section. But when Dr. Ramos came back, she was confident, determined, and fully focused on getting my baby here safely & vaginally--and she delivered in every sense of the word. Postpartum, when I suspected I had mastitis, I called the office, and they got me in that same evening. Dr. Ramos made sure I had what I needed before it turned into something worse. Since moving back to Orange County, I still haven't found a doctor like her. She's one of a kind, and here I am writing a review a year later--but boy, does she deserve it! Jack says hi!

Always the best care from Dr. Ramos and her staff. Thank you for always making me feel comfortable.read more

I believe she is involved in insurance fraud as she billed my insurance for a procedure she did not perform.

She even lies about statements she writes in mychart messages, the evidence is in writing, from her, and she'll deny she said it.

Saw Dr. Craig because we switched to an HMO. My husband and I had been trying to conceive for 3…read moreyears to no avail. Dr. Craig was kind but did not seem to be invested in helping us with our infertility. I had to ask for her to order tests as we had had none done by this point. She said I was not really a candidate to use Clomid but it was worth giving it one shot. 3 weeks later I ended up in urgent care in terrible pain. Likely from the Clomid. I later found out I was given much to high a dose and I should have been monitored closely and given a shot of a pregnancy hormone to get the drug to work correctly. I will never go back.

I really hate to leave negative reviews, but my partner and I had a deeply frustrating experience…read morewith Dr. Allen and his office several months back. I would not want anyone in our situation to waste their time with him. After a nice initial consult and completing a mountain of testing (including genetics and an HSG at another facility), I was unable to get any information, discussion of results, or advice about next steps for treatment. I left many messages and voicemails. Once, when I asked for a follow up consultation with Dr. Allen I was told that it was "too soon" and that I should just call when I got my period (for what treatment? Unclear). The only call I ever received was from his nurse where I was prescribed a thyroid medication, even though my results were in the normal range. I later learned this protocol was based on old, disproven research. The medicine made me so sick and when I couldn't get Dr. Allen to discuss it with me, I just stopped taking it. In the end, we have had success with another fertility doctor in LA who has been responsive, communicative and shares our sense of urgency. Dr. Allen was none of those things.

Big waste of our time.

Adding more stress to our situation and feeling completely let down. When finally speaking to Dr. Allen he told us he has meetings every hour. I told him he should not be taking on new patients if he can't make time for them.

If your BMI is over 40, don't bother. Or make sure to actually speak with the anesthesiologist…read moreassigned to your case. Dr. Maribel Romero did not call prior to, causing a surgery to be rescheduled at a different facility, thank goodness that day ONLY because the surgeon takes care of his patients. I understand they may not be equipped with certain things to provide adequate safety for the patient during the procedure, but adding this to a very difficult and long process was extremely stressful and emotional. I hope the business sees this and takes this into consideration. Not only to do their job, look at the chart to see BMI AND make that call BEFORE the patient is all ready with an IV ready for surgery to start, but maybe start emailing patients instructions on how to take a photo of their anatomy that they can then send back to have the anesthesiologist make their final decision. It's done by other facilities, not all, but it's a great idea. Giving it a 2 because the nurse was great. But the ball was dropped somewhere with the other staff. If there is a policy regarding BMI, that information would be in the patient's chart when scheduling the procedure, and should have been caught prior to, and extra steps should have been taken, such as a photo.

My most recent visit was on a Thursday and I had to do some routine bloodwork the next day. Dr Rudman called me on a Saturday to go over my bloodwork results. This is rare in my experience, especially when it's all positive test results. Dr Rudman could easily have sent me an email with the information from the lab but she took the time ON A SATURDAY to go over my results and ensure that I didn't have any unanswered questions.
