My experience with this office raised serious concerns about the coordination and continuity of my…read morereproductive healthcare. I was scheduled for a hysterectomy in April 2025 after completing the scans, bloodwork and consultations requested by Dr. Bodon and surgeon Dr. Herman McDaniel. In February 2025, Dr. Bodon recommended Zepbound for weight loss before surgery. It took nearly two weeks for the prescription to reach the pharmacy, and a promised medication follow-up was never scheduled. I disclosed my medications during my surgical appointments with Dr. McDaniel, but I was never instructed during those visits to discontinue Zepbound before surgery. My April surgery was then canceled because I was told the wrong hospital had been scheduled. It was rescheduled for June. I had already made costly arrangements for the original date. When I contacted Director of Operations Elsa Gutierrez about what happened, I found her communication extremely dismissive and disrespectful. When I questioned why the insurance/network issue had not been verified before scheduling surgery, I was essentially asked, "You've been rescheduled, what do you want?" Before my June surgery, I saw Dr. McDaniel again. He initially appeared not to remember recently seeing me and was about to order another transvaginal ultrasound and bloodwork until I reminded him that I was there for my pre-op appointment. During that appointment, after reviewing my vitamin D levels, he asked about my occupation and income. After learning I was self-employed, he gave me promotional material and his personal promotional code for a website with which he said he was affiliated. My understanding from the conversation was that he could financially benefit if the code was used. I found this concerning during a preoperative appointment, particularly because I received very little information about preparing for surgery. The week before my June surgery was chaotic. Less than a week beforehand, I had heard nothing regarding pre-op testing. Four days before surgery, a STAT lab order was being arranged. Two days before surgery, a hospital nurse asked about cardiology clearance, and I personally contacted my cardiologist to have it faxed. Then I learned that authorization had been obtained for the surgery but not the hospital stay. The hospital warned me surgery could be canceled without it. At approximately 4:30 p.m. THE DAY BEFORE SURGERY, while I was at the pharmacy picking up medications prescribed for my postoperative recovery, surgery coordinator Sarah called and told me the authorization had not been obtained and my surgery was canceled. This was my second canceled surgery after months of preparation. I called afterward requesting an appointment with Dr. Bodon but could not get one scheduled. At this time I was still experiencing extremely heavy bleeding. My insurance approved a referral related to obtaining medically necessary pads and told me to contact the office. An employee then told me my insurance was out of network, despite my having received care there for approximately six months. About ten minutes later, Sarah called and explained that this information was incorrect. She also told me the employee claimed I had been "getting all crazy" with her. From my perspective, I had simply been asking questions about my insurance and an approved referral. When I contacted Elsa again, she told me she was too busy to deal with the situation, repeatedly asked, "What do you want?" and ended the call. Afterward, I was never able to meaningfully reconnect with my physician. No follow-up appointment with Dr. Bodon was arranged, and my patient portal messages went unanswered. Yet prescriptions continued to be filled for months afterward, including Zepbound through approximately December 2025 and iron prescriptions later, despite no follow-up visits. I ultimately declined to schedule another hysterectomy with Dr. McDaniel because I no longer felt comfortable proceeding under his care. As of August 2026, approximately 14 months after the canceled June 2025 surgery, I have received no meaningful follow-up regarding my reproductive care and no response to my portal concerns. I understand that insurance authorizations, hospitals and medical scheduling can be complicated and mistakes happen. My concern is the cumulative pattern I experienced: two canceled surgeries, scheduling and authorization problems, last-minute pre-op coordination, conflicting insurance information, unanswered messages, lack of physician follow-up, and interactions with management that I experienced as dismissive and hostile. Women seeking serious reproductive healthcare deserve clear communication, continuity of care, careful coordination and respectful treatment. Based on my experience, I would not entrust this office with my reproductive surgical care again.

I do not recommend this office. From start to finish, the experience felt impersonal and…read morefrustrating. You cannot bring a guest to appointments, even prenatal visits, which feels unnecessary and isolating, especially for first time mom's who deserve to have their partner alongside them through the process. They consistently overbook, so plan to wait at least an hour just to be seen. I once waited 2.5 hours past my scheduled prenatal appointment time. The care itself feels rushed and disconnected. The ultrasound tech was cold and clearly unhappy to be there, with no bedside manner at all. Once you're finally called back, you're shuffled from person to person and only get a few rushed minutes with the doctor. It feels more like a conveyor belt than actual care. Communication is just as bad. If you try to call with questions, expect to sit on hold for 30 to 45 minutes before reaching anyone. The biggest red flag for me was scheduling. I originally saw Dr. Nahar, who left the practice. I later booked a yearly appointment with Dr. Garza months in advance, rearranged my entire day to attend, and showed up only to find out my appointment had been canceled and Dr. Garza had also left. I received no call, text, or email notifying me. This was the second doctor I had booked who left the practice, with zero communication. Overall, there is a clear lack of bedside manner, no respect for patients' time, and serious turnover issues among providers. Something is off here. I would not recommend this office. Let the amount of 1-star reviews speak for themselves.

My experience with the office staff was very disappointing. The front desk team--especially…read moreMartha--lacked compassion, professionalism, and basic customer service skills. When I decided to transfer my care to another provider, I was told I had to pay for an appointment because my insurance supposedly didn't cover it. They even contacted my husband claiming they had spoken with me and that I had agreed to pay half of the balance while they would waive the other half, which was not accurate. As for Dr. Jacome, I felt his quality of care was fair. He is understandably very busy balancing office visits with hospital deliveries, so appointments often felt rushed. The ultrasound technicians, however, were outstanding. Audri, in particular, was kind, compassionate, and made every visit a positive experience. She was by far the highlight of the office. Employees like Audri are what keep patients coming back, and her professionalism and genuine care made a significant difference in my overall experience.

I wish had had Dr. D. His replacement Dr. Garza is completely incompetent…read more Dr. Garza missed my wife's breast cancer diagnosis. He said it was a clogged duct, and that she was, "far too young to have breast cancer." Before he took it seriously, the cancer got to her liver. My son was six months at the time. He has been without his mother for five years now (do the math). I lost the love of my life after twenty years. Don't make the same mistake we did. Get a second opinion. As far as I'm concerned, his lack of knowledge about cancer and pregnancy is appalling. He is responsible for my wife's death. Don't let him be for you or yours. He didn't apologize to me or even tell his office staff of my wife's death. They found out from me, after I requested some records. Not only is his incompetent, but a coward who won't even tell his staff that he essentially killed my wife and my son's mother.

I made an apt for Saturday for a check up I have no insurance . I was seen by a nurse practitioner…read moreI do not recall her name unfortunately. I was experiencing some discomfort on my private area . I was called in by the medical assistant she did vitals on me and I informed her why I was there and also provided that information on the form they have you fill out . The medical assistant asked me to do a urine sample which I did with no problems whatsoever . The nurse practitioner goes in there she asked me the same questions what is the reason for my visit I inform her . She asked me to remove my clothes from the waist down and she will be back in a few minutes. She comes back everything is going well , it was the moment she started to check my private area. I have been checked before by other obgyn In the past and never in my life have i experienced so much pain . She sticked a stick inside me to swab me without opening me up first using a speculum she was being extremely rough going in and out and In circles and she asked me do you normally bleed I said no I did tell her it was hurting . Then she decided to use to speculum after I told her she was hurting me and she did another swab . I was in so much pain . After she checked me she told me to get dressed and she was going to go to the lab and see if I had an infection down there with the swab she did. I walked out and used the restroom the moment I sat down on the toilet and urinated a little so much blood was coming out of my private area and it hurt so I was in so much pain to the point I could not get off the toilet .I went back in the room I was in and she told Me my results and gave me medication . As I'm checking out I'm still in so much pain I inform the front desk girl I was in so much pain I literally start crying . I asked the front desk girl To please notify the doctor something is wrong I'm in so much pain . She goes and tells the doctor and the medical assistant who called me in the first time puts me in another room . The Dr takes about 15 min to see me again and she asked me what's wrong . I tell her crying I'm in so much pain when I urinate it hurts so bad it burns and I have pelvic pain . Her response was you probably have a UTI . EXCUSE me I did not have a UTI before coming to see you I was urinating just fine with no pain whatsoever until you checked me in such rough way . I told her I left you guys a urine sample before you entered the room she says to me let me go check , she comes back and tells me that my urine has been thrown out if I can provide them with another urine sample . At the point I was so upset I said yes I'll do another urine sample . I tried to leave a urine sample but there was no way I was still Bleeding and I'm so much pain . I left and told them I will be going to the ER mind you I have no insurance to Go to the ER and I left crying I couldn't even drive of how much pain I was in . At the ER the doctor did a pelvic exam which he confirmed I was hurt down there . He provided me with pain medication and to rest for a couple days . What was a quick check up ended up being a visit I wish I never made . I was in pain for 4 days and I would cry every time I had to urinate because it hurt so bad . I'm finally feeling better thankfully . The sad part is all the back stack front office staff and the doctor all knew how much pain I was in and not ones they reached out to Me to see how I'm doing . I would give the place no stars if I could .
