So far Dr. Beddow seems nice.... However I'm not too fund of her front desk attendants/nurses? As I walked in...the Indian lady mistook me for someone else...I told hI am a new patient, I've never been here before. Later on during blood pressure check the same woman seemed very rushed, impatient and annoyed with me. In general, the front desk attendants aren't really friendly and welcoming. It's too early to make any other judgments...I'll continue to go and see how it all goes. *fingers crossed* read more

I have been going to Dr. Beddow since 2021 and I am so happy to have found her. She is absolutely the best OB-GYN because she truly cares about her patients. She has the sweetest and most welcoming smile! I also love her staff. I have been in communication with Mitra and Isabella. They are all great people. Thank you -Ma Betina read more

My experience: Dr has online appointment booking on website. I used it, and then called the next day to confirm. I was asked why I wanted to see the doctor - explained that i was looking to establish with gyn after recent hospitalization for bowel perforation/infection which had vaginal involvement. I am not in pain, I no longer have an infection and this is not an emergency, but I need a gyn to check things out and give me a clean bill of health "down there". Got multiple appointment reminders, including a request to call back for confirmation, which I did - and once again repeated my history at their request. The day of the appointment: got a call two hours prior saying that the dr. was ill and leaving for the day so they would need to reschedule. Then she told me that the soonest she could schedule a new patient for was six months from now. When I asked why I had been able to schedule online two weeks out, she said "oh those aren't confirmed appointments, they are requests for appointments". When I reminded her that I had indeed spoken to them twice and had the appointment confirmed, she just kept repeating that she could schedule me six months from now. Obviously, given my medical situation an appointment six months from now doesn't do me any good - and it's clear that for some reason, i'm guessing because of my age (post menopausal) and/or my recent hospitalization, the doctor just doesn't want to see me as a patient. That's certainly her right as a provider. But the way it all went down? Not cool. read more

It has taken me so long to write this post because I felt I cannot properly express the joy and gratitude I feel about Dr. Beddow & team's care and service. I wanted to be a patient of Dr. Beddow 9 years ago when I had my first child, but couldn't because she was not accepting anymore patients/ my insurance did not allow. 9year later after several MC and infertility treatments and OBs. I stumbled across Dr. Beddow again. She and her staff took amazing care of me, truly whole women heath! I was able to conceive and my family grew a plus ONE! Miracle can happen for us it was with Dr. Beddow excellent care. Our family will never be the same, thank you! read more

Heartless. Cares only about overly booking appointments multiple times to collect $$$$$. I lost my health insurance/job as many of us have due to Covid, and asked if Beddow would write an RX for 1 month (note this is a RX that I have been using for a year already) and the renewal timeframe was just 1 month past the year that I saw her. I just needed some time to gather some funds somehow. Instead of having any empathy---the response was the following: so how do you then plan to pay for the RX? And the other we can do a video call, it should only take 5 min and will be $250. SERIOUSLY I've never experienced such a less compassionate person.... Office staff is nice, however follow up is non-existent. BEDDOW is also very passive with treatment and rushes thru your appointment. read more

If you are looking for a proactive and detail-oriented doctor able to communicate effectively, educate you and make informed decisions in partnership, you may want to look further. In my experience, her communication was unreliable. I chose her because I value consistency in care and wanted her to assist in my birth. Unfortunately, on my 7th month she told me that she may not be available around my duedate. That was a big disappointment that put me in a very difficult situation. After inquiring 3 times, she was unable to tell me specific dates or backup doctors I could meet. When I ask for options, she said she could induce me if the baby did not arrive before her vacation. I realized at that point that we had very different approaches and I would not feel comfortable having her deliver my baby. Overall, she seems to check boxes rather than caring for patients. read more

The practice seems a bit $$$$ oriented. I just went there for a check up. First she made me have a ultrasound for no reason!!! And they would only discuss the results (which was nothing "oh your are fine!" No abnormalities) only after I did a co pay!!! They didn't even let me know that the results are back. I had to call them to find out that the results are back. And I had to have a 1/2 minute appointment just for her to tell me, her words, "I don't know why I asked for this ultrasound, no problems. It's not about the copay I had to give, but just her callous attitude. Won't be going there again. read more

Caring, lovely, informative, competent physician. I underwent simple and routine surgery with her and she was absolutely the best I could ever asked for, throughout the entire process. She clearly explained me every step of the surgery, was always there for my multiple questions and always made me feel welcomed and in good hands. She is an excellent surgeon and a very loving and caring human being. I couldn't be happier for the outcome and for the way I was treated not only by her, but also by her caring and dedicated staff. read more

Isabell Beddow, MD - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - San Mateo, California

If I can give this place 10 stars I would. Dr. Beddow and staff absolutely amazing. She was always on time and very pleasant. I can honestly say I had the best experience with this office. I had a high risk pregnancy and she put me at easy. She was so easy to get a hold of. This office exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for an OB/GYN, you are looking in the right place! read more

Highly recommend Dr.Beddow and her team. Grateful for her guidance, care and support for my pregnancies. She listens patiently, is calming and generally a nice person. She is highly knowledgeable, has great bedside manners and I have found her tests and treatment just right, not too much, not too little. She can be reached via myhealthonline and responds promptly. She explains very clearly the procedures and offers the different options to choose from when available. She also has one of the nicest front desk and nurse who have been with her for a long time. read more

Thank you, Dr. Beddow and Team! I chose to have a child using a donor to become a SMBC (Single MotherBy Choice). As a single (new) mom, navigating pregnancy and a birth at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, I felt that I had all of the support in the world through Dr. Beddow and each of her team members. My pregnancy was healthy, but there were some tough spots that were certainly well managed. I went into the hospital on two occasions for preterm labor symptoms at 28 weeks and 33 weeks. Dr. Beddow carefully monitored my pregnancy provided excellent direction and care--I was thrilled to give birth the day after my due date! Weeks after my delivery, I experienced extensive bleeding. This was quickly assessed by Dr. Beddow and even more quickly resolved with the prescribed treatment. Dr. Beddow brought a beautiful balance of skill and enthusiasm to the delivery, adding even more light to the most special moment of my life! Throughout my pregnancy, no question was too big or small, someone was always available to answer the phone, Dr. Beddow reached out to me personally many times to communicate important matters and also checked on me at the hospital late at night when I was experiencing preterm labor symptoms. The office team was always quick to return calls, schedule appointments, return insurance paperwork... and they were just so nice to chat with! My baby and I were in the best of hands ...and we knew it all along! Five stars, two thumbs up and a thousand thanks to you all! read more

I should have left this review a long time ago, but it had slipped my mind until I was looking at my past medical visits. I saw the charge for my office visit I got NOTHING out of and got annoyed all over again. I visited this office once. I had some issues with irregularity in my menstrual cycles (sorry if that's TMI but we are talking about the OB-GYN). I've had issues with this since I was a teen, but I wanted to see if there was anything I should know/be doing about it just to be safe. I understand that it is a difficult issue to resolve and there's not a ton of research on it (women's health is great- isn't it?!). I went in and told her why I had set up the appointment. Had not been to an OB GYN for a while and felt I should go in to see what I may be due for. I also wanted to get some advice on my issues. I was hoping that by going to a woman I would feel more comfortable but she made me feel so dumb for even asking. It was almost like I was wasting her time with my question, since apparently it is really common and there's not much that can be done. I left feeling bad about the fact that I even went and then got stuck with a $200 visit bill in which I got nothing out of. I would not recommend. read more

I had a positive experience with Dr. Beddow herself. However, the front desk was not professional. They called me to give me results that I would need a procedure done. I was surprised and asked for more information, which they told me to Google it. They said they wouldn't send me the lab results, and only after I schedule the procedure would I be able to talk to Dr. Beddow herself. It felt shady. I went elsewhere for a second opinion and was determined to not need it. I received much more supportive care where they actually explained things vs telling me to "Google it". read more

This review is long overdue. It doesn't feel good to write this but I think it is important for people to know what happened to me... I started going to Dr. Beddow a few years back. I found her on Yelp and didn't think of much of the bad reviews about her then. I thought "How bad can she be if most of the reviews are good?". Well, I thought wrong, very wrong... Things are OK back when I'm healthy and my Pap tests are normal. However, I noticed that she was very dismissive, uninterested, and judgmental when I went to see her because my husband and I have questions and would like to get advice from an expert before we try to conceive. I still didn't think too much of it then. I continue to see Dr. Beddow. I don't know when it started but this year, I was told that I have to go to their clinic personally to pick up any test results. This seems strange to me as they were able to post my test results on My Health Online before. There was no explanation from the clinic and they also refused to send to me my test results through email. This is rather inconvenient because I need to take time off work each time I need to get my test results. There was also a long wait most of the time I go to see Dr Beddow, the wait time ranges from 30 mins to almost an hour. No one told me anything and I just sat there waiting like a fool. When I did ask, Dr Beddow was with another patient and wasn't available for me. So, why do I even bother to book an appointment? I went for the usual Pap test end of last year. It took them awhile to let me know that my result came back abnormal. I was told that it could be nothing but just to be safe, I should come in for a colposcopy. So I did. On that day, Dr Beddow went straight into colposcopy without explaining anything, unlike what her assistant told me. I was surprised and didn't know what to expect. It was uncomfortable and I had spotting for a week after that. She told me everything looks good and sent me home. I had to follow up with her later on about the results. At around the same time, I have told Dr Beddow my concerns of having very bad cramps that will wake me up at night. I wasn't even having my period when the cramps happened. I also noticed that I was bleeding a lot more on the first 2 days of my period. These are new since end of last year. Dr Beddow dismissed what I told her. I found out much later that in fact, she forgot to order an ultrasound to investigate this. Time has gone by and still no news, so I went to their clinic personally to check on my test results. This time I was told to wait and Dr Beddow would like to talk to me about the results. Apparently, the HPV16 result that she was so dismissive about came back worse. The results showed that I have CIN2 and without giving me any options, Dr Beddow said that she'll perform a LEEP surgery on me to remove part of the bad cells. I went in on a Wednesday for my pre-op appointment. Dr Beddow's assistant does not know what surgery I'm booked for and Dr Beddow does not remember the date of the surgery, and mind you, my surgery is on Friday the same week! This does not inspire any confidence at all but I tried to stay calm and went for the surgery anyway. I really regretted this... A supposingly minor surgery turned bad. I had multiple infections and was in and out of the ER due to extreme pain and heavy bleeding. I had to take some time off work due to the complications and the medications they put me on. A month in and I still have spotting and pain. Dr Beddow said that the complications should not be caused by the surgery she did on me... The doctor at the ER did a comprehensive test on me while I was there the first time and found a polyp in my right ovary and kidney and fibroid in my uterus. I was concerned and went to see Dr Beddow about the results. Dr Beddow said that the fibroid is probably misdiagnosed and most likely bacterial overgrowth and asked me not to complete my course for Doxycycline (against ER instructions). She put me on a different antibiotic (which does not help with my condition) and said she will do a curettage on the fibroid. I called up her office the next day to schedule the appointment for curettage and the staff was confused. After checking with Dr Beddow, she told me that they are going to monitor my condition and not do anything instead. After my second visit to the ER due to heavy bleeding, I went to see Dr Beddow for a follow up. She finally wanted to do something about the fibroid then but she couldn't because I'm still bleeding from the LEEP surgery she did on me. Instead she did a Pap test which I found out later that it was premature to do and was completely unnecessary. She seemed checked out at that time and does not seem to want to deal with my situation. I urge everyone out there to think for yourself, ask questions and don't dismiss symptoms. Seek professional help from a *trustworthy* doctor. Also doesn't hurt to get a second opinion. read more

It took me a while to post this review because, my experience was mixed. I'm torn because I genuinely think she's a nice person, but just because she is nice doesn't excuse the lack of communication about my pregnancy. If you want the TL;DR: Even though she is a very, very nice doctor with a good personality, I felt that being in a high risk situation, she had immense difficulty conveying this to me and opening up communication about my health decisions. I would only recommend her for general GYN health or for a very healthy pregnancy. If you want to know more please read on: I was pregnant in 2013 and during my 1st trimester, I found out I had some genetic testing coming back that could point to some complications in my pregnancy. She minimized this fact and said most moms are fine. However, that didn't happen - I had issues with the growth of my child and I started to have elevated blood pressure. She didn't inform me that my pregnancy was turning into a high risk pregnancy at any point. She also didn't communicate to me why I was taking extra tests or getting fetal non-stress tests on a weekly basis at one point. When I started consulting other nurses and medical professionals I knew, they informed me that it was because I was at risk of pre-eclampsia (eventually that did happen) and that my child was having IUGR. She told me NONE of this. Even when I directly asked her at the end of her pregnancy, she was evasive. I just don't understand why she couldn't even tell me to my face. It frustrated and upset me. When I went back to her earlier this year, I wanted to do a pre-pregnancy screening to ensure I could do anything I could to help prevent the prior issues. The office lost my referral to the maternal fetal medicine (MFM) doc, and they also forgot to call me back - took me several tries, and many receptionists asking what my questions were for. Also took them forever to get back to me when I had a UTI - ended up actually going to urgent care because it took them over a day to get back to me. And when I finally did have my check up with her, I felt like she gave me advice that contradicted the MFM Doc. In the end, I wanted to give her a second chance, but I realized it would have caused me more stress to continue with her due to the office and her lackadaisical response to my concerns and her passiveness. read more

Dr. Beddow is amazing. I have seen Dr. Beddow since I moved to the Bay Area freshly out of college from out of state. Starting with annual check ups and birth control discussions, talking about getting pregnant in the future and making sure my body was in optimal health after getting engaged and married, to being pregnant, and now having a beautiful and healthy seven month old daughter, Dr. Beddow has been an invaluable support every step of the way. Her knowledge, sensitivity, and warm demeanor make appointments pleasant and almost relaxing - - this coming from a person who normally gets anxious with high blood pressure during doctors appointments... Dr. Beddow's office staff is easy to work with. It's easy to call to make an appointment or to simply ask a question, which especially came in handy while I was pregnant. If it wasn't for the fact that I felt comfortable calling the office knowing a friendly voice would answer , Dr. Beddow calling me back and taking me in without an appointment, and ultimately figuring out that I was at risk for preterm labor, I am pretty sure my baby would have been born premature. I know every person and situation is different, but a coworker of mine with a different doctor felt similarly to how I was feeling, but was directed to a nurses hotline for her questions. By the time she realized she was at risk for preterm labor, it was too late, and her baby was born premature and spent time in the NICU. Her baby is great now, but I will always be grateful to have avoided that experience. I always feel listened to, cared for, and never rushed when I see Dr. Beddow. Even my husband loves Dr. Beddow and described her as a great doctor after all of his interactions with her during my preterm labor scare and eventually the birth of our daughter. After almost a decade in the Bay Area, we've bought a house elsewhere, which means we'll be moving away soon. There are many things about the Bay Area that I won't miss (e.g. traffic, crowds, cost of living, etc). Dr. Beddow is among the few things in the Bay Area that I will miss. read more

Isabel is not a bad doctor but this is not a good office. The receptionist who answers the phones is extremely rude every time I call. Last time I called she literally was yelling at me and being super rude to me. Very inappropriate and disrespectful to yell at patients. My doctor was supposed to call me back and my doctor never even called me back that day. They are very unorganized and not easy to deal with. I would not recommend this office to anyone who wants to work with a professional doctors office. read more

I had the great experience with Dr Beddow. She is very kind and caring doctor, she listens to you, respects your choices, helps with consultation. She patiently answers any question, explains complex medical issues the way you will understand. And what I greatly appreciate is that I was called almost instantly as I arrived, my waiting time was no longer than 5 minutes ( before that my experience with 2 other doctors was about 30 min to 1-2 hours of wait!). Dr Beddow has gentle bedside manner and always explains what she is going to do and how it will feel. She took me on my 30th week of pregnancy as a new patient and delivered my baby without any issue. She is also available for message exchange through My Health Online app, which is very convenient. You can also see after visit summary in that app, but doctor will give it print out as well. I strongly recommend Dr Beddow. read more

Dr. Beddow and her staff are amazing. First, like many new moms, I didn't really know what to expect. There's so many changes your body will go through over the course of 10 months (and after). If there's one thing I could say to an expecting mom, you need an OB that you truly trust and are comfortable with. Hands down. For me, Dr. Beddow was incredible. She truly listens to all your concerns, and you can tell that she works hard at making sure you feel taken care of. She's highly responsive, and answers your most awkward, intimate questions with care. Throughout pregnancy, she gives you all the options very point-blank, so you understand your choices. She's got a great way of laying things out so you can make your own health decisions, while advising you of what she'd recommend. During labor, whenever she'd walk in the room, it put everyone at ease. She's got a way of making everyone feel very safe and secure in a really critical moment. It's gotta be an incredibly stressful job to do, and she makes it look easy. Lastly, her staff is amazing - from her office staff (Mitra is incredible!) to the L & D nurses at the Mills Peninsula Hospital. I had a great experience with them and if we have another child would absolutely use her as my OB again. read more

I went in for my annual and had a great experience. Dr. Beddow is extremely welcoming and comforting. I was happy when I left the office. My issue lies with the follow up... I never received a call about my pap smear results and so I assumed everything was fine. Unfortunately, when I called the office about a bill (roughly five months later) they told me that one of my results had come back that worried them. You're going to tell me this five months later?! When I had to call and ask.... Someone should have called me to tell me this information the day they received the results. read more

I went to her for help. We have had concerns regarding getting pregnant. She was very dismissive. I called in to ask the Dr a question, i spoke twice to a nurse regarding the issue and could not get a callback even though she was promised one. We switched to a new OBGYN after that. This new Dr. did a test that Beddow said I didn't need. I had a serious health issue that this simple test found! If you want a Dr. That will advocate for you and take your concerns seriously Dr. Beddow is not the one for you. read more

My wife says she's a good Dr. for regular checkups. My experience started with her when my wife got pregnant. From that exposure, I have to echo the experiences of the other people on this board. My wife used this doctor as her OBGYN for years without too much of an issue, but once she got pregnant this past year the problems with the office became very apparent. I'm writing this because my wife has been reduced to tears too many times and doesn't want to write it herself. Beddow started out dealing with my wife's pregnancy as if she was going to be able to deliver the child, but as we advanced through the process, and started paying them money as if she was going to be delivering the child, it became apparent that she will only deliver at one hospital in San Mateo. Which we were never informed of, and now we have to pay a fee to get her records transferred. EDIT - in exchange for me updating my Yelp review they eventually waived the fee, although it took a week for them to actually get the paperwork over. Also, at the beginning of the pregnancy, her office gave us a price list saying that her staff would contact our insurance to determine the co-pay. We never heard back from them, so we assumed there was no co-pay and decided that as long as there was no co-pay, we would make San Mateo work. In fact, what happened was that they just billed us and never checked with our insurance. We found this out after we got the bill when we called to question what was going on. Apparently, according to the staff, the procedure is to wait until 38 weeks of pregnancy before they check the benefits, at which point, the full bill is due, which is not what the Dr had said. Once we got the bill, we realized that we needed to switch providers, but they insist on charging us to do that too, by charging a $25 administrative fee. Attempts to talk to the Doctor directly are blocked by the administrative staff, who refuse to work with patients or provide more reasonable rates. As I said above, after I posted this Yelp review, the office was willing to waive the fee and we actually got to speak to the Dr, seemed genuinely surprised to learn what was going on and how her office was being run. It's because of all of this, that I'm giving them 3 stars, up from my prior 2 star rating. read more

By far, the fastest doctor appointment that I've had in ages! Found Dr. Beddow on Yelp - her office is close to home and she came highly recommended by the community. They worked me into the schedule pretty easily and they even called to remind me the day before. I got there a few minutes early, a good idea when visiting a new physician for the first time. Had to fill out the standard healthy history and HIPPA paperwork, but once that was over, the doctor saw me right away. She was a little nervous when I told her that I found her on Yelp, but the entire appointment was handled professionally. . Going to an OBGYN for the first time can be a little awkward, but Dr. Beddow was warm and friendly. The appointment lasted less than 30 minutes, which is amazing. I was expecting to be there most of the afternoon, but that was not the case at all! My only complaint is that Dr. Beddow suggested running a particular test that wasn't covered by my insurance and now I owe the office a little bit of money. Wish we had checked that out first. However, the overall appointment was great. read more

I have to say, writing a review about my vag doctor is something I didn't think I would ever do. But damn you, Yelp, you make me want to give credit when credit is due, and Dr. Beddow is beyond awesome. She's incredibly warm and genuine while also remaining professional. I think most any woman can admit to being a bit worried about their annual exam - aside from the fact that it's downright unpleasant, there is also the potential that a test result could come back questionable. Dr. Beddow and her awesome staff always make me feel comfortable no matter what. She also offers online appointment booking, and you never have to wait more than a few days (usually less) for an appointment, which is super convenient. (An aside: I tend not to comment on other people's reviews, but I do have to say I think it's downright ridiculous that someone gave her 1 star because she didn't take their insurance. Really?! That's no reason to give this person 1 star, so don't be a moron.) read more

First off, she's a sweet Dr. and the nurses are amazing. So nice. I had been going to her over a year and a half on a recommendation from a friend. For me personally giving a low score, I had a bad experience after a misscarriage. She's a fish out of water with women who are experiencing issues like this or proceeding one. After me asking her questions on how to get my body ready for the next one, questions on the use of progesterone, clomid, etc., she kept telling me 'don't stress out you'll get pregnant naturally' and dismissing my emotions after the m/c even though I knew something was wrong. She never really answers your question. She circles around it. She also never recommeded checking my HCG levels after the m/c, nor did she recommend any follow up testing to be done to see if my hormone levels were ok. If it was not for my tenacity and that nagging feeling knowing something was wrong with me, I would have wasted more time - precious time. Only on my urging to get my FSH levels checked again which she said 'we're doing this only to ease your mind since you're stressed'; did she find they were abnormally high and my chances are conceiving are 1%. From the time I started with her until now, my reproductive capabilities apparently took a turn for the worse. This isn't her fault. However, OB's should automatically be checking patients hormone levels, no matter what, if you're over 35 and trying to conceive - because again, i didn't realize anything was wrong since I got pregnant naturally. If you even suspect something is wrong or if you're over 35, you need to be aggressive and ASK her for tests since she definitely won't recommend it on her own. Also, make sure she answers your questions directly. If she skirts around them, keep asking or go somewhere else. read more

I am very surprise to see some of the negative reviews for Dr. Beddow and team. Dr. Beddow was the first doctor I really went and saw on my own, so I had some nerves going because I didn't know all the insurance stuff. I found Dr. Beddow through Yelp a few years ago. I looked around quite a bit, and decided to go to this location and I have not been disappointed. The staff is always very friendly and helpful both on the phone and in person. I usually get Amanda or Mitra on the phone. They are very accommodating with finding an appointment time that fits your schedule. I have gone here about 5 times (2 for a routine check). I am always called back within 5 minutes. Dr. Beddow is very sweet, warm, and welcoming. She has general concern about your health and is personable. She also really explains what she is going to do, what to expect, and will explain why certain additional things may be good. There was a test she suggested, but I was worried because of insurance. She was completely understanding of that and said to check it out and then let the staff know if I decide to come back for that after checking with insurance. Well, I decided to go back because insurance covered it! During those appointments the staff was even more accommodating - squeezing me and such. There was an insurance issue at a different point, it wasn't the office's fault. It was the insurance end. Mitra was super helpful with helping me figure out what to do. She called the insurance many times for me and always returned my calls. read more

With new insurance came all new doctors. It was difficult to find someone based on a list from the internet. However, I was persuaded toward Dr. Beddow because of her ability to be my primary care physician as well as my OB/GYN. When I called to make my new patient visit, I expected to have to wait 2-4 weeks as is typical. However, her fabulous staff (who made the first impression fabulous) offerred me an appointment that day. I was totally unprepared to take an appointment that day, but was glad to get in that same week. Once arriving at the office, I was able to witness how they treated their other patients. There was another new patient there that had just found out she was 5 weeks pregnant and the attention they gave to her was beautiful! It's such a special time and it was great to see them celebrate with her! Now, on to my visit. The nurse was great, and Dr. Beddow sat and spent time with me. She was patient, not rushing to the next patient. She addressed ALL my questions, even took time to talk personally for a second or two. When I asked for a referral to a derm doc, she was happy to do so. I love a primary who understands they can't be an expert in all areas of medicine! She asked me briefly what I was having issues with, and knew I needed a specialist and was happy to search for available doctors AND print the list off for me! She even offered to call in a refill if the new made me wait too long for an appt. I would recommend her 100%. read more

Dr Beddow is a fantastic doctor and I highly recommend her. During my pregnancy and labor she has always been extremely helpful and commited. As compared to other friends who shared with me their experiences with their doctors, I can say that Dr Beddow spends much more time with each one of her patients, performs more exams in her office, as well as stays closer to you during the labor process. This all makes a huge difference. In addition she is always updated with the latest advances in terms of prenatal screening and diagnostic tests, and will inform you of all the possibilities so you can make a very well informed decision. I will definitely continue seeing Dr. Bedow and continue to recommend her to my friends. read more

I love Dr. Beddow and the entire office staff. I came here during my first pregnancy after leaving another OB that I really did not click with. Dr Beddow was always approachable, thorough, patient, kind, available, and calm. She answered all of my questions and never made me feel like I was rushing her. I delivered at Mills Peninsula and she was there to deliver the baby, and perform a procedure for my retained placenta, and checked in with me daily at the hospital after birth. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Furthermore her office staff is incredible. The receptionists and technicians are kind, smart, and knowledgeable. Mitra is incredible with helping with insurance and disability claims. A+!! read more

I've been visited Dr. Beddow for about a year and she delivered my first son. I should say that though there were complications during my pregnancy, I got all necessary help from the doctor. After all I'm very glad that the delivery went well, so I guess I made a right choice when picking a gynecologist. PS And by the way Amanda, the secretary, is very nice and helpful. read more

Dr. Beddow is great, but the office is completely mismanaged. I called for an important prescription to be refilled on Tuesday and now it is Friday, and the prescription hasn't been filled with the correct dosage. Not great when the medication is for mental health and withdrawal symptoms of this medication land people in the emergency room. Like the doctor, but I think I'll need to find a more reliable team. Going through unnecessary medication withdrawals isn't worth it. read more

She is an amazing DR. I was in and out in 30 minutes with all my questioned answered. Seemed very educated in her field and had a very kind/gentle nature. I felt very comfortable and safe. She went through all my paperwork asking questions and getting to know my medical history. I have definitely found a great gyno! I would recommend her to all my female friends. read more

Dr. Beddow is really cool. Listens, understanding and she's funny. Most important she is an experienced professional who knows what she's doing. Her staff are amazing too. I would've been lost without the help of Mitra on quite a few things. I feel very lucky to have found this team. Other professionals in the industry (other doctors, nurses, genetic counselors) all have amazing things to say about Dr. Beddow. read more

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Beddow. Of course she is warm, friendly, attentive, etc. - but her willingness to go above and beyond amazes me. I called her office on a Saturday, on a holiday weekend, not in a million years hoping to be able to connect with her to address an issue. I left a message with her answering service, and was told a nurse would call me back shortly. Within 3 minutes, Dr. Beddow herself was calling! Needless to say, I was once again thoroughly impressed by her. She is simply wonderful. read more

I was new to the area when I went looking for an OB/GYN online. I found Dr. Beddow's website and was immediately drawn to her because she looked like a nice person from her warm smile. She is just that. Not to mention, also a very knowledgable, kind, patient, respectful doctor. I went to my first appointment knowing I was pregnant, but not knowing I had twins. She gave me the surprise of my life, and assured me it was a wonderful thing - she knew because she also has twins. Throughout my pregnancy she quelled my fears, answered my questions in an unhurried manner, and always seemed excited for me. She really does care about you and your babies. When I started having pre-term labor at 33 weeks, I was scared. I was in the hospital for a couple days and she visited me everyday and made sure I was ok. She answered all my questions, again, without seeming in a hurry. Her prescribed course of action for me kept my babies in for another three weeks. The delivery went very well, and my scar is literally almost non-existent, and it's only been 16 months. Post-delivery, she was excited to meet them again at my checkup appointment, came out to the waiting room to meet them (what Dr. would take the time to do that?) and really made me feel like I was not just another patient. Dr. Beddow always has her signature warm smile for you, looks you in the eye, shakes your hand, is always available, will call you back personally a lot of times (not have her nurse do it, although they were wonderful too) and I can certainly attest to her skills a doctor/surgeon. Thank you Dr. Beddow! Too bad we aren't having more!! read more

Having seen more than my fare share of OB/gyn's in the various places I've lived and having worked for them I am extremely pleased with my experience with dr Beddow. She is genuine, patient, professional, calm and has a sense of humor. I began seeing her when I first became pregnant...about a year ago. My husband and I are always seen right on time and never feel rushed. Dr Beddow made it to my delivery and was great there too...very relaxed and pleasant. Even the RN's in labor and delivery had good things to say about her. Her office is small, which I like, and her receptionist and medical assistant are awesome. I am very happy to have found her and would recommend her to anyone! read more

I am very thankful to have Dr Beddow to deliver our baby. Through out the whole pregnancy, Dr Beddow always took her time to answer my questions, and gave very pragmatic advice. On my day of delivery, she came to check on me at the hospital multiple times, monitored my vitals from her office, and showed up shortly after the nurse let her know that I am ready! She also gave me great support as a mom when I returned for my postpartum visits. Love Dr. Beddow! read more

Dr. Beddow is the most amazing doctor I have ever met. She is honest, compassionate, and genuine. She took me in when I was 37 weeks pregnante and saved me from my previous MD which lied to me in so may ways to make an extra buck. I don't know how she does it with having her own children and taking such great care of her patients. read more

Dr. Beddow is awesome!!! Dr. Beddow is kind, gentle and friendly. Her office staff is friendly and helpful. She's only a phone call away if you need advise. She was great in giving advise with my first child and if I had any questions she had answers and explained thoroughly. Great OB-GYN doctor!!! read more

Dr Beddow is everything you want on an OBGYN. She is so nice and informative. She takes time to listen and explain. The staff at the front desk is excellent too! read more
