Stay away. She's super old and not on trend with any new research and honestly I think she doesn't give a f*ck about any of her patients. She just clocks in and out, waiting for retirement. She put me on hormones that I didn't need, it gave me a rash on my stomach and made me bleed for 3 weeks, beside other side effects. I messaged her offices several times and they got back to me over a week later! read more

I really liked seeing Dr. Gould! I was very comfortable with her, I never felt rushed and she took time to thoroughly answer all questions. I am disappointed she is no longer at Plaza Towers. If she is still in LA I hope this site is updated with her new office information! read more

Dr. Gould has always made me feel genuinely cared for, never uncomfortable or inferior. I am disappointed to know she's no longer at Plaza Towers and would love to find her again. read more

Dr. Gould is one of the best doctors I've had. I was told today that she is no longer at Plaza Towers and I would love to find her!

I saw Dr. Gould for 3 years while I was living in LA. She is so friendly, thorough, and compassionate. I loved how she always explained all my options and was patient when I asked questions. I highly recommend her! read more

Dr. Gould and the front desk/nurses are wonderful. I have been seeing Dr. Gould for almost a year now. She is very thorough, kind, and great at problem solving. I have had some difficulties and she has been a great doctor for me - helping me make difficult decisions with the most education possible. I even had an issue while she was out of the office, and Towers were able to squeeze me in that day with another doctor. The parking is easy, and I never wait very long. I always feel confident that Dr. Gould has my best interest in mind, and that she's giving me the care she would want herself. She spends a lot of time talking with you and answering any and all questions. Thanks for small town care in a big city! read more

I was seen my Dr Gould last December. I love her bedside manners. I was very comfortable with her. I never felt rushed when i see her. I saw her 4 days ago and she helped me a lot. I asked her many questions and she is good explaining everything. Too bad she doesn't deliver babies anymore. read more

I originally wanted to make an appointment with Dr. Lipeles as I had seen him last year and seemed like a great doctor. He wasn't available and because I just found out I was pregnant and I was then going out of town, I decided to go ahead and schedule an appointment with Dr. Gould. She was really nice. I suffer from migraines and take prescription pills. I asked about this during my appointment and she said she was not sure about that drug and would let me know. Two laters for my first ultrasound and she did not ever get back to me on my migraine medicine. For my first ultrasound, she never changed the name on the machine so it reads the name of the previoius patient I assume and my first picture of my baby is with someone else's name. I asked again about my migraine pills which she then remembered she had forgotten and had to leave to look it up. She advised that I should avoid taking them unless I really really needed to. I also asked about what foods to avoid and she said sausage because you shouldn't eat raw meat. I was not aware that anyone ate raw sausage. The following week, I got four migraines. Damn hormones! I called concerned as I am not able to function and I was cutting my pills just to take the edge off. She gets on the phone and then says, she thinks that's ok. if i need to take them. I then asked, is there a safer medication I can take because I don't want to harm my baby. She said she would call me back after she looks into it. 17 weeks later and still counting and still no call. NONE. Thanks for the follow up. Yeah, after not receiving a call the next day, I found a new OB/GYN and he's amazing. If the only thing you want is nice, Dr. Gould is that. read more

UNPROFESSIONAL OFFICE! First of all, this is my very first negative review on Yelp. I have no idea if Dr. Gould is a good doctor or not because I never met her. I was eager to meet a new OB who actually took insurance and I showed up 15 min. early for my first appointment in order to fill out paper work. After waiting one hour and confirming that there were still TWO people ahead of me, I decided to leave. When a doctor is running well over an hour late for a 10 a.m. appointment, that is just downright unprofessional. I expect doctors to run a little late, that's par for the course. But at the rate things were going, it would have been at least 90 minutes late, if not more. I'm sorry - but we are ALL busy and no one can afford to sit in a waiting room that long. read more

My second appointment with her is in a month, but I'm knocking down a star from my previous review because I called a couple weeks ago with a crippling 3 days long migraine that I wanted advice on and left a message with her care team and never got a call back.... And then I called today to verify my appointment for next month and I kid you not the receptionist could barley put a sentence together her English was so broken. Anyway, I'm hoping my second visit with Julie changes my mind... But I am still pretty upset about no one calling me back when I needed help. read more

An outstanding OB/GYN. Excellent care. Very informative, helpful. She takes her time. It is not like any other doctors visit. Where I am seen and sent out on my way. She really cares to make sure any concerns are addressed and answered. She is one of a kind doctor. Please do see her. You will definitely recommend others as well. She did not deliver my baby but she came on her day off (Saturday) to visit me at the hospital after my bundle of joy was delivered. No doctor takes the time and day just to visit a patient of hers on a weekend. Creme de la creme read more

I highly, highly recommend Dr. Gould. I saw her last week after not having seen an OBGYN in a few years, and I came to her with many concerns and an anxiousness about what the answers to those concerns might be. She was extremely professional, warm, friendly, and kind - heck, the whole office was. I seemed to be the last patient of the day, but I didn't feel rushed at all, which is definitely something I've experienced at other places in the past. Both the nurse that took my blood pressure and weight as well as Dr. Gould have a very kind and professional humor that eased me right into feeling like I was going to be taken care of. I was actually smiling most of my appointment! After listening to my long-winded explanation of what was going on, she patiently gave me a thorough and thoughtful response, as well as many suggestions about what we could try to sort out what was going on with me, ranging from trying basic over the counter medications to prescriptions to surgery, so I felt that I had options and could not only listen to her but also do my own research independently. I will definitely be going back to see Dr. Gould in the future. read more

Recently moved to Los Angeles and stumbled upon Dr. Gould's office in the Marina. I couldn't have been luckier to have found her! She was professional, caring, and made me feel very comfortable. The staff was very nice and I was in and out quickly, which is very important to me because of my job. I absolutely recommend Dr. Gould! read more

I just moved to the Marina and was looking for a woman OB/GYN and found Dr. Gould. I had my first appointment this morning and am so glad I found her. She is new to the area so had availability & I got in no problem. Dr. Gould made me feel really comfortable (even though the first appt with a new gyno is not a comfortable experience), plus she was just great to talk to and super nice. She gave me plenty of time and I will definitely be back to her for my next annual exam. The office is nice, as well - and convenient if you live on the West Side. read more

Never seen a doctor , that didn't have answer to your question felt violate when I left had to make suggestions to her on my next medical step, she did perform a minor procedure on me just hope she really new what she was doing very disappointed I never post a review even when it's bad ,so you know my experience read more

I was very displeased with the service that I received at this doctor's office. During my 45 minute wait in their waiting room, the girls up front were on the phone with some restaurant, loudly complaining and getting into an argument with whoever they were on the phone with. It seemed very unprofessional to be having the kind of conversation in front of all of the patients in the waiting room. After waiting, I was taken back for basic questioning by one of the nurses. Not only was the nurse rude and dismissive, she seemed incredibly judgmental. After speaking for 5 minutes, I went back to the waiting room for another 10-15 minutes before taken back into a room to see the doctor. Dr. Gould was very nice, however, not very helpful. I went in for a problem I was having and explained all of the things I had done to try and resolve it. She was the 3rd doctor I had seen for the problem and I was hoping to get another opinion and new suggestions on things I could do to get to the bottom of it. However, she performed the same tests the other doctors had given me, and offered no additional information or suggestions. In fact, she told me that she had no idea what could be wrong with me, point blank. On top of everything, I received a $500+ bill for the services she performed that day. After getting no help from the doctor, I ended up taking myself off of a medication and it immediately resolved the problem. It seemed like a pretty obvious idea and it was frustrating that I had asked if that could be causing the problem and she dismissed it. read more

Initially, I was pleased with service, but unfortunately, the experience has gone drastically downhill. 1) she sent me for a diagnostic exam and would not return my call for weeks with results (after she'd said it would be 48 hours). 2) I received a bill for the visit, which was supposed to be covered as preventative. I called the number on the bill and was told that they weren't the billing company for the office, and that their number had been added without an agreement to handle billing. After talking to my insurance, I found out that I was charged because the office used the wrong codes. A huge waste of time and I won't be back. read more

My first time seeing Dr. Gould. I found everything to be perfect. Reception was there early to sign me in they were very friendly. Dr. Gould was personable, courteous and very knowledgeable. She spent a sufficient amount of time with me. She answered my questions and made suggestions. I would highly recommend Dr. Gould. read more

Great and caring doctor! Dr. Gould is easy to talk with and makes a doctor visit easier. Thanks Dr. Julie :-)

Dr. Julie Gould has been my favorite Gynecologist. She is straight and to the point, yet still very thorough.

I had a great experience. The office is calm, the staff very good. Dr. Gould is a great communicator. Test results, options and recommendations were explained. Grace, her nurse is a very competent advocator and well organized. read more

Dr. Gould is a great doctor! I felt so comfortable with her, she is easy to talk to and does a great job on educating her patients. She treats you like a true VIP with her time. Her staff is very nice as well. An extra perk, there is free parking at her westchester/Marina Del Rey office. read more

Dr. Julie Gould is fabulous! Her caring attitude and years of experience made my prenatal visits very informative and quite enjoyable. She took the time to thoughtfully answer my questions and I never felt rushed. She is also a great listener and her advice was always helpful. I would highly recommend her, she's a wonderful doctor who is also a warm and positive woman who will walk with you at each stage of your pregnancy! read more

I met with Dr. Gould once last year when she was in a medical office building in Marina del Rey. Though I liked her a lot, I found the office itself to be a bit off-putting: not as clean as a medical place should be, with inefficient administrative flow: it took many weeks to get my standard test results back, which is not typical. When I called to schedule my annual exam this year, the office informed me that Dr. Gould was no longer practicing there and they were unable (or unwilling) to give me any forwarding information. I was, however, able to track Dr. Gould down via Yelp, and found that she had moved to a new medical building in Westchester, even closer to my home, which was great. I made an appointment and was delighted, when I arrived, to find that parking was free (it wasn't at the previous place!), the lobby and reception area were inviting and spotless, the staff was helpful, and Dr. Gould walked in with a big smile, remembering me from my one previous visit. As I had last year, I found her to be warm and accessible, easy to talk to and interested in what I had to say. Her exam was thorough and sensitive, I was able to discuss my questions without feeling rushed, and all-in-all, reconfirmed that this was a doctor who cares about her patients. When I explained how long it had taken to get my test results back from the previous place the previous year, she assured me she would make sure that did not happen again, and it didn't: she called me personally with my results within a week. That kind of personal follow-through means a lot to me. I have a GP (who'll I'll soon be leaving!) who treats me so generically that I've always felt I was more a faceless time-slot than a valued patient. Any time I needed tests, I was instructed to get all results from a web portal, with no personal connection, and no immediate opportunity to ask questions or get further information. That is not the kind of relationship I want with my doctor! All of which makes Dr. Gould's personal touch all the more appreciated. Her calls to communicate my results made me feel as if I mattered to her as a patient; that if I'd had any questions, she would have been available to answer them. That's what you want in your doctor... not a web portal! Ultimately I'm delighted to have a OB/gyn so close to home whom I like, I trust; who is warm and friendly, and who conveys a real sense of medical knowledge. I recommend Dr. Gould to anyone who appreciates those personal and professional touches. read more

I just transitioned to Dr. Gould after a negative experience with another local OB-GYN. She was thorough and really listened to everything that was going on with my health history and concerns. I felt like I was in capable hands with a doctor who treated me as a person not just a patient #. I will be highly recommending Dr. Gould to friends and family in the Los Angeles area. This was a very positive experience for a process that can be very stressful. read more

This review is overdue. I came to this office because I had family pact coverage through my school which means services are covered by the state. That being said, the first visit was nondescript and left me with neither positive nor negative feelings about Dr. Julie. However, her office happens to be less than a mile from my house so I came back out of convenience. My second visit (Nov '14) for my annual woman's exam was horrendous! Not only did I have to wait 45 minutes after my appointment time to be called into an exam room, I was told to undress (the air conditioning was on high btw) and waited another 20 minutes before she finally came into the room. What really upset me was that while I was waiting, I could hear her talking in the nurses station right outside my door about her plans to purchase a newer bigger home. She went into detail about how many more bedrooms it had and how big the pool was, cabana house etc. She mentioned that her kids had finally moved away and that she felt it was time for her and her husband to upgrade to a nicer more expensive home....(yes, she talked about the price too...I just don't remember the amount) Meanwhile, I'm sitting on the other side of the door naked and freezing! When she finally entered the room, she nonchalantly apologized for the wait. She then said she couldn't seem to find my chart from the last visit and that I may have to wait a little longer for them to find it. I told her I'd already been waiting for over an hour and I didn't want to wait any longer. Noticing that I was clearly upset, she did the pap exam and that was it. No breast exam or any other woman's wellness checks. I was shocked at her apathetic attitude. I can only assume it had to do with my family pact coverage. However, please note that just because I didn't have to pay for her service doesn't mean she didn't get compensated by the state. She treated me like she was doing the work for free. Unacceptable and unforgivable. If I could give zero stars, I most definitely would! read more

I've been her patient for few years now. She's friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, good-listener and just the nicest doctor I know! I highly recommend her to anybody. read more

First visit to Dr. Gould, very attentive and easy to talk to, knew right away she was a good choice. The Westchester office is easy to get to, small office in nice area . Dr. Gould even made a effort to help me out with samples when I was having trouble getting prescription. read more

Dr Julie Gould is friendly and thorough. She listened to all my questions and explained everything fully. She even took time to explain the process with insurance on an expensive test. Most doctors won't even consider talking you through it. read more

Dr. Julie is so sweet and warm and kind. She made sure I was always comfortable and answered every question I had. She really is an awesome doctor and I highly recommend her! read more

this is my first review ever and i literally made an account just to yelp this horrible doctor. i was using birth control to help regulate my periods and not get pregnant Dr. Gould suggested that i try an IUD which would make my periods not only lighter but more manageable and of course prevent pregnancy. I took her suggestion and scheduled my appointment to place the IUD. During my appointment Dr. Gould started the procedure and looked very nervous while trying to insert the device. I looked up and saw her questioning herself and looking for re assurance at the medical assistant in the room with her. I was told the whole procedure should take at least 15 minutes or less but Dr. Gould took forty minutes it was one of the most traumatic experiences of my life!!! She then told me that everything looked great and i would be covered for the next 5 years and that unprotected sex was ok as of that day. Three months later i started feeling odd symptoms that i had never felt before i called the office scheduled an appointment and told the Dr. Gould everything i was feeling. She decided on doing an ultrasound and noticed that the IUD was misplaced and that i was pregnant. She never explained to me to come back in one month to check placement of the IUD which a close friend explained to me after getting hers. I was pregnant and had a miscarriage something i never wanted to go through i never even wanted to get pregnant in the first place. now thanks to Dr. Gould i have been traumatized for life. THIS DOCTOR IS UNEDUCATED DO NOT LET HER TOUCH YOU OR GIVE YOU ANY ADVICE!!!! PLEASE THINK TWICE BEFORE SEEING HER!!!!! read more
