I was initially hesitant to write this review, but after receiving follow-up emails from Thrive…read moreasking for feedback, I felt it was important to share my experience. I've been dealing with hormonal imbalance for the past four months. I'm currently with Kaiser and have seen nine different doctors, most of whom suggested anti-anxiety or antidepressant medication. However, I knew something deeper was going on. What I initially thought were panic attacks at night turned out to be hot flashes. I often felt dismissed and unheard, which was incredibly frustrating. My wife helped me research other options, and that's when we found Thrive. After reading so many positive reviews, I felt hopeful that I had finally found a place where I would be seen and heard. My first visit with the doctor was positive. She listened to my concerns and ordered bloodwork. However, after completing my labs, I had difficulty getting a follow-up appointment. My calls were not returned, and I eventually had to use the emergency text number just to get a response. I was told I had a phone appointment scheduled at 11 AM, but I never received a call. When I followed up, they offered me an in-person appointment later that day, which I accepted. During that visit, the doctor reviewed my labs and told me a pharmacist would contact me the next day to start testosterone treatment. Unfortunately, I never received that call. I want to be clear that I'm not trying to be difficult, but dealing with hormonal issues has significantly impacted my quality of life. I've been experiencing sleepless nights, restlessness, irritability, bladder issues, and an overall sense that I'm not functioning at my best. Given that this is an out-of-pocket service, the lack of communication has been extremely frustrating. I've since called and emailed multiple times without any response. Additionally, when you call their office, it goes straight to a generic voicemail that doesn't clearly identify the business, and messages are not returned. It feels like you have to constantly follow up just to get basic communication and even then, responses are inconsistent. I also want to add that I typically don't write reviews like this. However, if you are struggling the way I have been, I wouldn't want another woman to go through what I've experienced. I truly believe women should support one another and take each other's concerns seriously, and unfortunately, that has not been my experience here.

It took them over 2 weeks to leave me a voicemail saying that the declined my request. They said I should book an appointment for a pap- um how would I even begin to do that if they are not able to return calls or even answer calls in general? Do not come here if you want anyone responsive or remotely communicative, the staff here is totally incompetent and useless, sadly at this point the doctor is kind of on the same page as well. I've never had so many issues with getting birth control prescription from a doctor. Stay away ladies.

As a private practice, I don't believe this office has the infrastructure in place to provide…read moreadequate care in the obstetrics field. I was referred to this office for my first pregnancy and when I went in for my first ultrasound at 7 weeks, the baby was measuring at only 5.5/6. Dr. Tamayo was skeptical that I knew when I ovulated, and believed that it was just too early. When I told her that I was tracking my ovulation and even showed her my calendar, she laughed nervously and then just kept saying, "Well if you think you know, then..." but wouldn't finish the sentence. I was sent for HCG testing at a separate lab, two days apart. On the day I was to receive a call about my HCG results, the office's phone lines were down. Every time I called I got a "Call Failed" notice. I was so desperate for information that I called another office in the same building and asked if they could go to the office and see what was going on. I was told that their phone lines were just "down," and that they would call on Monday. This was a Thursday. There was seemingly no recognition of the stress this situation could cause a patient and no effort made to contact me to alleviate any of it (I'm pretty sure someone in the office had a cell phone they could have used). Once I got the call on Monday, I was told that my HCG looked good and to come back in a week. I felt like something wasn't right, though, and pushed to speak to Dr. Tamayo. Melina then got very impatient with me, telling me that the Dr. didn't have time to talk to me on the phone because I was "one of many patients, and if she talked to the phone with every one of them, she wouldn't have time for appointments." Feeling pretty appalled and brushed aside, I snapped and told her just get me an appointment, after which she told me that I needed to treat her like a human being. My thoughts were, "likewise!" It turned out that the baby wasn't growing and I went forward with Misoprostol to miscarry at home, per Dr. Tamayo's orders. I went in for a follow-up 3 weeks later, where Dr. Tamayo informed me that the miscarriage was complete. However, I continued to feel sick. A month and a half later I ended up in the ER, where a much more thorough ultrasound showed that I had leftover pregnancy tissue in my uterus. I ended up getting a D&C with a different doctor, because at this point I had lost all trust in Dr. Tamayo and her office. A miscarriage is painful enough without the added pain of feeling ignored, and trivialized by your doctor. Moreover, there is no after hours line where you can call and get advice from a doctor. You are basically told that if you aren't having a life threatening emergency, you can't talk to anyone outside of business hours, but as my story proves, you can barely talk to anyone inside business hours, either! It also bothers me that no one ever answers the phone at the office. You have to call and leave a voicemail and then Melina calls you back later. If anyone has bothered to read this review this far, know that I believe Dr. Tamayo to be a capable doctor, but one who has no business working in obstetrics if she can't commit to after hours care, reliable phone lines for her patients, and empathetic staff who can handle difficult situations. I would definitely not recommend this office to anyone, especially for first-time pregnancies

She didn't seem interested in helping, and I left feeling much worse than when I arrived. It's ridiculous that in 2026 we don't have more insight into something every woman will face.

She talked through every one of my concerns and ultimately helped me achieve the exact birth plan I had hoped for. I believe I healed very quickly because of some of her decisions. Her office, though, is very, very challenging to work with. That said (and maybe sadly), it started getting a little easier to work with them once the $300 office fee started getting charged and patients started leaving. Still, they were very challenging and often lacked compassion for other women I saw who were struggling with very serious issues. But in any event, almost all OB back offices suck, so you might as well go with Dr. Barnes. She is the absolute best.

A big part of pregnancy is what happens in the delivery room. And as great and courteous as Dr. Nguyen was during the course of my pregnancy, the level of care and attention her L&D team showed me was indescribable. Each nurse that came into the room showed so much care and concern for me. I never felt uncomfortable or anxious. Delivery was a breeze. The entire team that was in the room was such great support. Although I was completely overwhelmed with delivering my son, they were in my corner the entire time encouraging me and making delivery such a relaxing experience. I'm now on day 4 of PP and I feel so good. Dr. Nguyen was so amazing making sure my post delivery recovery would be quick. I received first degree tears and she worked wonders with patching me up. Her level of care is not one to be overlooked. If you're looking for an ob/gyn with a 5 star delivery team, I highly recommend Dr. Nathalie Nguyen with Glendale Adventist Women's Network.

However, her office staff are slow to respond and when you do get someone on the phone they are condescending and unhelpful. I had an extremely hard time confirming my initial appointment. Most doctors offices these days send out reminders via email or text at least a week in advance of your appointment. When I did not receive a confirmation or reminder I reached out to the office by phone and email multiple times and no one responded to my emails or voicemails. I did not want to take time off of work for an appointment that wasn't confirmed and when I finally got someone on the phone I could practically feel her rolling her eyes at me as she told me they only confirm the day before. Okay, fine, but they could have emailed me back or called me back to answer my question instead of ignoring it for a week. Then I was billed three times for the same amount over the course of three months after I had already paid the bill. When I called the office to ask why my check hadn't been cashed and I was still being billed, the staff answering the phones was incredibly rude and told me to "take a breath" after I calmly explained my issue. I had already left a voicemail about the issue a few days before and no one called me back. Save yourself the headache and find a practice that employs responsive staff that can schedule effectively and bill effectively.
