Dr Michael frields was my ob for both of my pregnancys. He was always very professional and did an outstanding job. It seemed no matter how many rounds he had, he always made it on time. I had a very healthy boy and girl. I would highly recommend dr frields for any type of pregnancy. I hope he keeps practicing because you never know! Thank you Dr frields! read more

Such an amazing doctor and an incredible staff as well. Dr.Frields really takes time to listen to you and is very caring, he doesn't rush you like most doctors do and really takes his time to explain things in detail. I would recommend Dr.Frields to anyone! read more

Best doctor! He delivered me when I was a baby. Now i'm 6 months pregnant and couldn't be happier to have him has my doctor to deliver my baby. He makes you feel very comfortable and safe. His staff is also very nice. Vicki has been there for years and is always so helpful with any questions you have. Sometimes the wait is a little long, but that's the case with most doctor's offices. Dr. Frields knows what he's doing and i'm confident in knowing I'm in good hands. read more

Dr. Frields has delivered both my babies and I am so glad I chose him. I initially went to him because of severe abdominal pains I was having and he immediately told me what I needed to do. He wasn't like other doctors I had seen, who kept telling me to just go on birth control. I was trying to get pregnant, so birth control was not an option. My firstborn's labor got really scary, very quickly and he immediately said we need to go into emergency C-section. Within half an hour, my daughter was out and healthy. I had some complications with the recovery of the C-section and ended up in the ER a couple weeks after. He and his staff were there for me throughout all this, even though the complication turned out to be something very common. This leads me to his amazing staff. Vicky, Linda, and the rest of the staff are just some of the most amazing women. They return all your calls and are so informative. After I was in the ER, Vicky called me for the next couple days, just to make sure I was doing okay and comforted me. When my mom got breast cancer, she did everything in her power to make sure that my insurance covered a BRACA gene test for me. I am honestly so glad that Dr Frields has Vicky as his right hand woman. The only cons are that his wait time is long, which in my opinion, is completely fine because the man is running back and forth from the maternity ward and his office. Also, if you are adamant about having a "birth plan," he's probably not the best person to go to. read more

Dr Frields and the nurse that saw my wife this morning shocked me with the most unprofessional demeanor. My wife literally left the office in tears and continue to be in shock. Imagine the nurse that while looking at the ultrasound gasps and the doctor that gets in the room.on the cellphone saying that we will be in the or in 4 minutes. We will write a letter to the medical board to make sure this will not happen to anyone else. And I hope some of his staff read this. Insensitive and unprofessional. Not recommended. read more

Frields delivered 2 of my babies. So we're 2 for 2 with that success rate. I always feel comfortable and at ease when I see the doctor here. Only downside is that he has soooooooooooooo many patients, that your waiting time may range from 15 minutes to 2 hours - especially if he leaves to deliver a baby. read more

Dr. Frields was my OB when I had my son in 2014. I really, really wanted to give him a 5-star review--and, for most of my time with him, I would have--but right at the end my experience changed for the worse. I considered giving him a "1," but I tacked on an additional star to reflect the positive experience I had earlier on. Here's an overview: Wait: The waits could be very long, but I found that if I made appointments first thing in the morning I generally got seen pretty quickly. Pregnancy Care: For most of my pregnancy, Dr. Frields was great. He was very friendly, understanding, and listened to my questions. I never felt rushed. Then, when I was two days past my due date, he started talking about inducing me. I said no thanks, I'd rather wait it out for a week. He responded by saying that if something happened to my baby, I would have to live with it for the rest of my life (I was not a high-risk pregnancy and there were no signs of any problems with my son). I was put off by the scare tactic and said I would be happy to do any additional monitoring he thought was necessary, but still wanted to wait. I went into labor naturally the day he'd wanted to induce me. Birth: The birth itself was very quick and simple, but our experience with Dr. Frields was intensely unpleasant. We had previously discussed my preferences for the birth--which included using a hep lock instead of an IV and intermittent monitoring--and he said that, while he recommended using an IV and constant monitoring, I was in control and the choices I made were what they would do. Once I was actually in the hospital room, however, he told the nurses (via phone) that he refused to allow either of those things. My husband had to pry to find out that we could sign a waiver that allowed us to do it. Then, once Dr. Frields arrived, he started snapping at the nurses about the fact that I wasn't hooked up to a monitor and got into an argument with my husband (literally standing over me while I was in labor) about it, saying that if our baby died it would be on us. He then checked me, announced I was at 9.5 cm, said "It will be hours yet," and LEFT THE HOSPITAL. It was not hours, it was about 45 minutes. The nurse caught my baby because Dr. Frields didn't make it back in time. Ironically, given how he'd been acting, the birth process was much more pleasant without him there... but that's only because there weren't any complications. As a side note, I recently signed up for Quest's online records system and all my old blood tests showed up. I was diagnosed with an infection in my second trimester after I spent a month or two complaining about symptoms. By looking through my old records, I discovered that a routine blood test almost two months earlier had flagged my white blood cell count and other markers of infection as being extremely elevated. Yet no one ever said a word to me about it at the time. Both I and my baby were fine, in the end... but it seems crazy to me that no one noticed or followed up on that. Anyway, take this information and do with it as you will. If you are cool with letting your doctor 100% call all the shots, then you may very well like Dr. Frields. If you're looking for someone who's going to work WITH you, or you want to make any adjustments to the traditional hospital birth experience, then you'd probably be served better by looking elsewhere. read more

The best OBGYN, very knowledgeable, professional and caring..... I was somewhat high risk and with God's help Dr Frields delivered my baby.... didn't have any stitches or any problems.... highly recommend read more

I could go on and on about how amazing this man is! I truly believe i owe him my life and the life of my first baby girl. He is the best Ob ever and has the best bedside manner and professionalism. He is knowledgeable and his experience in his field will ensure his calmness and proficiency under pressure. I had an unknown complication during labor and had an emergency c-section that saved my baby. When you choose this Ob you are in the best hands read more

I heard a lot of recommendations about Dr. Frields. I went in for my first visit with him and I realized he was such a nice guy. I was completely comfortable with him, everyone question I asked he answered-he did not make me feel like I did not know what I was talking about. I can't wait for him to delivery any future babies of mine :) One star knocked off cause the huge office...and the oh so many people in there. But thats what you get when you are good. read more

Dr. Frields is A #1 in my book. He fought with the insurance company to get me my hysterectomy when another doctor couldn't get it pushed through. I was almost 50 and in constant pain. After the surgery, he told me what was wrong and that only a hysterectomy could have solved the problem. The insurance wanted me to have a cheaper, less invasive procedure that Dr. Frields said would not have solved the problem. I go every year for my check up. Yeah, sometimes I wait. Big deal. A lady having a baby takes priority so if he's late it's no big deal. Bring a book like I do. One time, I was talking to Dr. Frields right before my exam and his pager went off. He had to go bring a new life into the world. He said I could wait about 20-30 minutes or reschedule. I chose to wait. The office staff is the best. They are helpful and assist in getting you in and out in a timely manner. He has a great bedside manner. I've been to other gyn/obs in my life and I can't say the same for all of them. He shares an office with three or four other doctors, hence the big waiting room but don't let that put you off. You will get personalized care. If you do choose to go to Dr. Frields, you will be very happy you did. I know I'm glad he's my doctor. read more

I hate waiting. My app was at 4:00 and it is now 5:22. Wow I don't understand these people and the way they run things around here... I'm still patiently waiting. Btw the staff is just super rude. So talk back and show them who the customer is. read more

Amazing doctor! So knowledgeable and helpful! I have been to many gynecologists, no one has his experience and knowledge! Even at the most difficult and complicated situations, he keeps it calm and makes the best decision! Dr Frields is a blessing! read more

Horrible. Every time I go there I am so disappointed. The waits are long. I've waited 1-1.5 hrs for a 10-15 mins appt. If you have a question for the doctor during business hours, the nurse refuses to let you talk to him. He is inaccessible. Good and kind doctor, but wish he explained everything more. He simply doesn't have the time. Also, they charge everything on your insurance. I cannot believe a 15 min appt would cost 250$ each. What did they do? The bill has no explanation of what procedure they performed. I also got a claims from the insurance saying I had 3 ultrasounds. I only had 2. He was thinking of doing another one but said I already had one so I didn't need another. I question the ethics of this practice. Update: One thing I do want to mention is the billing/insurance lady. She is a gem. She took the time explain a cost on the bill and to straighten things out. She also spent the time on numerous occasions to explain how my insurance/deductibles add up. Thank you! For that, I will add a star. read more

I love coming to this doctor! He genuinely cares about his patiences and provides great service. The wait can sometimes be long but its so worth it. He came straight from the plane to deliver my first child and I was happy he made it on time! If God willing I have more children, I would only go the Dr Frields! He is the best! read more

He is a great doctor but the wait is agonizing. And when you finally meet with dr frields. It is very rushed. I know he is very busy but when you have been waiting 2 hours to see him you atleast want him to take time with you. But he is still a very great doctor. read more

Where do I begin? Truly the KING of all OBGYN doctors! My sister had her 2 babies with Michael Frields and her experience was amazing! I knew that one day when im pregnant the only Doctor I will trust is Dr. Frields! My experience from the first visit until giving birth was beyond what you can expect! I was scared for a natural birth but he assured me everything was going to be great! How did I have this baby so smoothly?? Literally still in shock how easy the process was! I went for my last check up at 39 weeks and Dr. Frields told me to come back at 12am and check in for labor because he just knew!!! It was 8pm I was standing in my kitchen and I felt a heavy leg pull every 10 minutes! I told my husband we have to go to the hospital now I can't stand on my feet any longer! We checked in at 9pm everything was great! By the time I took a nap it was morning and the baby was born at 9am! Dr. Frields just knows when it's time and just trust him with everything! Vicky his nurse is a sunshine! she was always there to take my calls, answer my questions and was literally there if you even needed a friend to talk too! They both are the best team and I can't wait to have my second baby!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! read more

I went to Dr. Frields with my first pregnancy, mostly because so many of my friends went to him and raved about how awesome he was. I was a bit put off by the very long office waits, but I agreed that he knew what he was doing. He was just so popular that I'd have to deal with wait. I didn't think he was all that friendly though, even while he smiled and asked if I had any questions. He really seemed like he was in a hurry to rush to the next patient. When I was at 37 weeks, my son was still breech, and the doctor told me that day that he would just do the c-section today. I was surprised, as we still had time, but I trusted him. Now I know better. My current OB was shocked that he would insist on an early c-section, simply because it was "technically full term." Now I believe he just did that to clear me from his patient list, to side-step the following three weeks of appointments. It was convenient for him, not me. Oh well, my son was born healthy -- small and covered in white, obviously not ready to be born, but healthy none the less. For my second pregnancy, I returned to Dr. Frields simply because I couldn't find a midwife in my area that I liked. This time the appointments were more inconvenient, since I had to find a babysitter for four hours (yes, four hours!) to wait. Also, I didn't mention it earlier but the parking lot charges, and I never got out of there sooner than the daily maximum rate. $6 per visit adds up. Ok, so back to the baby. She was not breech and I insisted on a VBAC, not a c-section. Dr. Frields said it was ok because GAMC has it available in their policy (other hospitals don't). Off to a good start. I had been preparing for a natural birth: Bradley method, no pain meds, etc. I had read a lot about how hospitals, OBs and nurses aren't keen on Bradley method, but I was not prepared for what was in store with Dr. Frields. My final ultrasound measured my baby at over 8lbs, so he recommended that I induce and get her out. Nope, I want to wait for her to come out when she's ready. 40 weeks comes along, and I'm not dilated or anything. Again he suggests induction and I decline. He also lets me know that going after term endangers my baby. Hmmm, I don't know about that, sir. 41 weeks, not dialated. Now he is using scare tactics, telling me that the rate of still births shoots up after 41 weeks and I am risking my own child for my selfishness. He assigned me to daily monitoring in the labor triage room, which I agreed to, because I'm really not trying to be a bitch or bad mother, but inductions are not natural, and I didn't think it was right. He threatened me with an emergency c-section if I went to 42 weeks. I told myself I just wouldn't come back to the office. At 41.5 weeks, 10 days late to be exact, I finally go into labor. I labored most at home, and arrived at the hospital while dilated 7cm. Now for the worst part. He insisted, while I was in labor, 9cm, that I have an epidural. I said I didn't want it, and he got upset. He said this is policy and that we'd agreed on this, but I don't recall ever having a conversation about it with him. Really, we didn't talk much at all during appointments, and that would have been an important conversation I would remember. Anyhow, he told me, with flushed face and raised voice, that he would not put up with this nonsense anymore, and that if I did not get an epidural, he WOULD NOT deliver my baby. Really. This happened. At that point, I gave in. I just wanted my baby, not a fight about mother's rights. I had the epidural, an episiotomy, and a healthy big baby girl. For my third pregnancy, I refused to enter that office again. He has enough clients to give birth HIS way; he doesn't need me. F that. read more

I really cant find enough words to describe my admiration and gratitude towards this Doctor. I had my 2 kids with Dr Frields. From the very beginning, he was extremely caring and meticulous about every single detail. He always took his time, asked me about my concerns and patiently answered all my questions. You enter the room and you never feel that you come to a Doctors appointment. The staff is very nice and helpful. When i wanted to write a review , I started reading other reviews and i was surprised that Dr Frields can have unhappy patients. Of course there were days that you could see that doctor was so tired or frustrated that he didn't even want to talk, but he never made you feel unimportant. So what I understand is that dramatic people are dramatic everywhere. So go and tell your stupid opinions somewhere else. He is the Best Doctor Ever . Thank you Dr Frields for showing how the real Doctor should be read more

Dr. Frields is AMAZING! He delivered both of my children and I can't say enough good things about him. My 1st pregnancy was very high risk and I was terrified. I would frequently call after hours and he would always personally call me back. He never once sounded like I was a pest (which I'm sure I was!) And during all my appointments, he made me feel like I was the most important person in the world at that moment. He always took time to answer all of my questions and never made me feel like my concerns weren't important. My 1st delivery did not go as planned and Dr. Frields perfomred an emergency c-section. I don't think I would have been able to get through something like that without having complete trust and confidence in the person at the other end of the table. He had a way of calming my nerves and letting me know that everything would be ok. He is a kind, gentle man and wouldn't trust the precious lives of my children to anyone else. The office does get busy, and often there was a long wait. But I would just remind myself that someday it could very likely be me needing extra time. The office staff has always been incradibly friendly and they all came to us by name. Really made us feel comfortable! read more

Dr.Frields is AWESOME!!! After having the worst experience with another OB that delivered my first son GOD sent Dr.Friends to me. Actually my great friend referred me to him, she and her husband kept saying Dr. Frields is the BEST!!! And by Experience Dr. Frields is the best! From the first visit to the delivery to the follow up appointment. So much to say about how he took care of me while I was in labor, delivery and even after delivery. He saw me everyday I was in the hospital, EVERYDAY!!! He took his time to stop by my room to see how I was doing. Not just one day, not just say Hello & glanced at my charts, he actually sat down and asked how I was doing and said, see you tomorrow ( SHOCKING ).. The office is very busy but I was warned before hand so I knew what I was getting myself into but he is so worth it. Dr. Frields is so kind and intelligent I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. To end this I would like to Thank Dr. Frields for the delivery of my second son and for taking care of me. read more

I'm 7 months pregnant and have been going to Dr. Frields since the beginning and am so happy that he will be delivering my baby. He is experienced, incredibly kind, and always answers any questions that I have. Since this is my first pregnancy I've had quite a few questions and he always thoroughly answers each one and lets me know that I can continue asking until I'm satisfied. I never feel rushed. I also have many friends who have gone to him and they have all had similar experiences. I highly recommend. However, since he is popular (and never rushes his patients) there can be a long wait, so if that's a problem just schedule appointment for first thing in the morning and there won't be a wait. read more

I have never waited less than 2 hours to be seen. He is always running late, and then rushes you out with questions unanswered. When I was inpatient they had to page him for 8 hours before he responded. Then he sent me home with no pain medication. He is too busy and doesn't care enough . read more

Dr. Frields has been my OB for 3 years. He delivered both of my children and there are no words to describe him. He is the most kind hearted, understanding, and gentle OB I have ever seen. He is simply AMAZING! I have heard about many OBs who some people had "great" experiences with but I knew I wanted someone who was very knowledgeable and knew what they were doing. I was referred to Dr. Frields and couldn't been happier with my decision. The only bad thing is the wait time, especially when sitting down for a long time is very uncomfortable but I knew he wasn't hanging out in his office. Either he was with a patient or delivering a baby. And when it was my time to give birth I knew he left many patients behind to be next to me. He takes his time during delivery and makes sure the baby and the mother are both doing fine. He NEVER uses any instruments and hardly does an episiotomy unless its needed. And all of those were my main concerns during delivery. DR FRIELDS I cant thank you enough! You are truly an angel sent from above. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!! read more

I wish I still lived in the area because I love Dr Frields. I was somewhat high risk and seemed to always come into his office for one thing or another. The medical assistans are very nice and always would squeeze me into the schedule. Dr Frields wasn't my best friend but would always make me feel at ease, answer my questions and had a great attitude. He is on call and will answer questions even if it is in the middle of the night. Also, when you deliver, he is the one that comes in (even if it is 1am in the morning -- which was what happened in my case) The only down side of the experience was the wait time in the office. I usually waited 30 minutes to an hour to be seen. It was worth it though! read more

VERY UNCARING A very cold Dr. Did not initiate eye contact. Very authoritarian manner. Seemed in a hurry. When we asked questions he gave us that "i am in a hurry i need to get out" look. No kleenes/wipes in the exam room!!!!!To be fair, however, office staff were corteous and polite. Wait was not bad. I would NOT recommend him at all. read more

Dr. Frields was my ob/gyn from age 30 to 64. He is the best dr I have ever had. Yes, sometimes the wait was long, but good things are worth waiting for. He delivered both my kids and helped me through many problems. When I turned 65 I had to start Medicare, and unfortunately his practice does not accept my plan. What a heartbreak. Now I'm searching for a doctor of equal caliber. It is not easy, and I am not happy. Reading all the other comments, there is no perfect situation. No one likes to wait, but I would wait 3 hours if I could get appointments to see Dr. F. Thank you Dr. F for your great doctoring! read more

After few visits to this office I feel that I just have to write this review .. I was trying to find anything nice to say about my experiences, but unfortunately was not able to. Every time I had to wait a minimum of 1.5 hours in the lobby ( and one time additional hour inside the room, without anyone even checking on me) Stuff are rude and/or careless. There are 2-3 doctors occupying the same office, so it's impossible to predict your wait time. And staff will pretty much have the same answer: there are couple of people ahead of you. After finally getting inside , the room was not prepared. Nurse started cleaning it in my presence. She was very cold. Minimum communication. As far as the actual doctor's visit/ consultation .. I would have to agree with previous reviews. He is always in a hurry, rushing out of the office. I did get the answers to all my questions, but I believe just because I wrote them down and went by the list. Otherwise I simply would not have time to remember them.. I don't think that any of us , patients, should feel unemportant at the doctors office, and that is exactly how I felt every time .. read more

Dr. Frields delivered my son all naturally per my request 2 years ago and delivered by daughter via c section 3 months ago. He is extremely knowledgable and has been delivering babies for over 30 years. I am an RN at Glendale Adventist and being an insider you get the scoop of who's the best. Most other RN's I work with are patients of Dr. Frields because he's simply the best! He never rushes through appointments and answers any question. read more

I havent seen Dr. FRILDS yet, but the staff are very RUDE and UNPROFESSIONAL... They are in.the wrong job. Just for consoltation the nurse gave me appointment in July ... 4 months from today...possibly because I disagreed to give her my diagnoses to her on the phone... And my insurance authorization is for consoltation only..... This,rating includes the lady in charge of billing too... So far I am very disappointed... read more

Dr. Frields helped me when i was misdiagnosed by another doctor. I've had two of my children with him as OB. He is ALWAYS kind, extremely competent, respectful and answers all your questions. Laura L, read more

I love Dr.Frields! He is my Gyno. He is extremely sweet, smart, professional and most important he is knowledgable. He checks you from A-Z when you go to him with a concern or a symptom. I love his staff as well. He delivered my baby so peacefully and his nurses gave me so much strength during my delivery! I will never be able to express how thankful I am of him. read more

Simply the Best. two surgeries and both saved my life. Judy is always there and focuses on the situation and helps everyone to the best way possible. I thank you for all you have done for me. read more

Dr. Michael Frields is such a wonderful doctor. He's delivered all 5 of my children. Every one went really well. So thankful for him.

I've been his patient for 12 years. He is the best OB around. Answers any questions you may have. His staff is friendly and office is clean. He, sometimes, gets called away for a quick surgery or to deliver a baby. That's the life of an excellent OB! So bring entertainment to help pass the time. read more

Dr. Frields delivered my baby girl almost 20 years ago. I still see him and he is the BEST!

Dr Frields delivered both of my babies. He is extremely competent, kind and efficient. He was always available for all of my questions and concerns, even when paged. He has this calm demeanor to him that put everything at ease. Yes there are waits at times, but for me it was well worth it. The staff is exceptional! Always so kind! Especially Vicki! Always there when I needed help with questions, forms and always called me back same day. She always called me for my test results. I trust them and had a great experience. Thank you from the bottom of my heart read more

Great Doctor If there was 10 stars I will give ! he knows what he is doing ! Yes there is wait but Who cares about wait when you have great Docter . After working hours if you call and leave a message he always calls you back specially if you are pregnant! Staff is very nice too! read more

I went to Dr. Frields for the delivery of my second son. He was WONDERFUL!!!!!! My baby is now 15 months old, and I am so greatful to Dr. Frields for a safe delivery of my baby! I have Lupus and am considered high risk. He followed me very carefully and always seemed very caring every single time I saw him. I love this doctor, and if I ever have the privilege to have another little one, I will definitely want Dr. Frields to deliver my bundle of joy. I would not trust any other doctor!!!! :) read more

DR. FRIELDS THE GREATEST! He is th most wonderful kindhearted, knowledgeable, caring, humble, and all of the above doctor/ob I have ever met. He is a blessing in the sky for women who are his patients. I had my daughter with him last year and my son 7 days ago and both experiences were wonderful. I had some complications, and I had to page him 4am in the morning . He returned my call right away and gave me direction that saved my life I have no idea how he works round the clock like this. During my labors they paged him anytime noght or day he was there for me and my babies. Yes I had to wait 1-2 hours, but he is worth every single minute of that wait. I live in Pomona, and yes I do chose to take my time and the traffic to to be his patient. I know that during that wait he is taking care of another patient just like me. I love the Dr FRIELDS and his team. read more
