I wish Dr. Anderson was my OBGYN since pregnancy, but she wasn't accepting new patient for treating…read morepregnancy at the time (about 4yrs ago now). I was in labor for 4 days. They tried everything from induction to breaking my water. But my baby was just too comfortable to come out. Mind you, I was going for all natural so I wasn't given any type of epidural anesthesia for the first 3 days. Until day 4, they wanted to try the maximum amount of induction medication and worried that I wouldn't be able to handle it, so I was then given epidural. One of the doctors broke my water on day 3 evening, hoping it would trigger the baby to go down more, but unfortunately didn't do much. Dr. Anderson came and greeted me on day 4; I told her that I recognized her because I was trying to get her to be my pregnancy OBGYN. She was the most caring doctor throughout the 4 days I was there. She came check on me as she promised every hour. She came in to let me know that she was performing a C-section for another mom so it would take longer for her to come back to see me. Then, she came right after she was done. In the evening of day 4, she recommended C-section because it was almost 24hr since my water broke, and the baby might be too big to come down any further any time soon. I asked if she can perform the C-section for me - although she was time for her to go home, she said yes and promised to be there for me. I agreed with the C-section and they started to get the surgery room ready. Dr. Anderson talked and explained every step throughout the surgery. My baby came out perfect and she was weighing at 9lbs. Perhaps that's why she wasn't going down. Again, how I till this day, wish I saw Dr. Anderson from day one of my pregnancy or my labor. I really think that my experience would be a lot better than it was. I recommend Dr. Anderson for all the moms out there.

I had less than ideal experiences my last two OBs so I wanted a new one for my pregnancy. After…read morereading countless reviews I found Dr. Anderson and to my luck she was taking new patients. She is one of my favorite doctors I've ever had. She was so patient with all my questions and never made me feel rushed which was such a relief- it's never fun when a doctor makes you feel like an inconvenience. She is so knowledgeable, would be thorough when answering my questions and go through all my options. She is friendly and always made me feel like a priority. I live about 45 minutes away but it was totally worth it to drive that far and I couldn't be happier with the care I received throughout my pregnancy!

Thank God she's retired. God who knows how many people she caused pain to. Thankfully, I now have a…read morehealthy 7-year-old (naturally with no intervention or fertility treatments), and I credit that to stepping away from Dr. Ecklund's care and finding providers who truly listened. I'm currently under the care of a physician affiliated with El Camino Hospital and Bay Area Maternity, and the difference in attentiveness and support has been night and day. I would not recommend Dr. Ecklund, particularly for anyone dealing with sensitive or complex reproductive health issues. While she was helpful when I first saw her nearly a decade ago, my later experiences raised serious concerns about the level of care provided. Over the years, I experienced four miscarriages. After the first, Dr. Ecklund was completely unreachable, and another doctor had to step in. During my second miscarriage, she did not follow appropriate protocols, such as conducting a full panel of hormone tests -- something I ultimately had to advocate for myself. Most recently, after discovering I was pregnant again, I reached out promptly, given my history. Despite previously telling me to notify her immediately in such a case, her office stated she would not see me until 8-10 weeks. While this may be standard for most pregnancies, it is not appropriate for someone with recurrent pregnancy loss. Fortunately, I was able to find a more responsive and compassionate provider, recommended by a friend, who saw me right away. In addition to the lack of individualized care, I felt there was an overall emphasis on promoting fertility treatments rather than investigating the root causes of my miscarriages. After my second loss, Dr. White -- covering for Dr. Ecklund at the time -- strongly pushed IVF, despite the fact that I had been able to conceive naturally each time after only a few months of trying. It felt less like a thoughtful recommendation and more like a rushed, sales-driven approach. Finally, I find it concerning that my original review on Yelp appeared to have been hidden or removed without explanation, requiring me to repost it. I believe it's important that patients are able to share honest experiences, especially when it comes to critical matters like reproductive health.

Many years ago when I was pregnant with my youngest, I had transferred to her in Sunnyvale. I had…read moregestational diabetes with my previous pregnancy. However, time went on and I attended a group for pregnant women with gestational diabetes and learned that they had been tested for gestational diabetes earlier in their pregnancy than me at the stage after I had transitioned to her. However, from my recollection I asked her why she hadn't referred me for testing and she acknowledged she should have but she would at that time. It turned out after testing I did indeed have gestational diabetes but it was not being addressed unless I had asked her for testing. I later tried to address with my diet monitored by a type of dietician but ended up taking insulin. When I called the managing doctor or director at that time he initially heard me out. He agreed she should have had me tested earlier but then asked me curtly, is your baby alright? I said as of now yes. Then he stated curtly again, "well then?" In such a cold tone. I was taken aback. I ended reporting to my insurance carrier and they took the report. She was nice in terms of her bedside manner. However, whether due to being busy or whatever the case there is no excuse for the oversight especially given my pregnancy complication from my previous pregnancy.

TL;DR: My birth should have been smooth, as I had no physical complications, but it ended up being…read moretraumatic because of how this doctor treated me. If you're looking for someone empathetic and respectful, I *cannot* recommend Dr. Noh. If you have time, here's the full story. I've sat with this for a long time, and I still feel a deep sense of anger and hurt from my experience, which is why I've ultimately decided to post this review even though it's been awhile. To be clear, I have no issue with Dr. Noh's technical knowledge or ability. He's experienced and competent in the clinical sense. But if you're looking for a doctor who genuinely cares about your experience, honors your preferences, and treats you with empathy and respect, this is *not* the doctor for you. Throughout my prenatal appointments, Dr. Noh was dismissive and impatient. Rather than providing guidance or reassurance to me when I asked questions as an anxious first-time mom-to-be, he would tell me I worried too much and that I should stop thinking so much. His attitude only worsened during my labor and delivery. I went into labor the day before Dr. Noh had a personal appointment, something I didn't even know about until I notified him that I was in labor. Rather than adjusting his plans or arranging for another provider to take over if necessary, he tried to control the timing of my delivery so it would fit his schedule. I would have had no issue with a different doctor stepping in. But instead, Dr. Noh insisted on staying involved and attempted to manipulate the process at every turn to suit *his* needs. He attempted to give me Pitocin even though my labor was progressing normally. He pushed the epidural relentlessly and repeatedly throughout my labor, despite me stating over and over that I did not want any medication. He even called me late at night while I was laboring and insinuated that things would go wrong if I didn't take the epidural, a tactic that felt fear-based and inappropriate. When he wasn't able to convince me with the epidural, he then pushed me to accept the IV medication throughout the rest of my labor. When I was about 12 hours into labor and extremely dilated but my water still hadn't broken, he refused to break it because we were nearing the time of his appointment and he didn't want anything to interfere with it. By some miracle, my water broke on its own about 45 minutes before his appointment. He then stopped by the hospital and told me in a *very* annoyed manner that if I felt the urge to push, I should *actively stop myself* because he wanted to deliver the baby after his appointment. I want to be clear: this was one of the most vulnerable moments of my life, and rather than feeling supported, I felt pressured, dismissed, and invisible. The pressure to take medications I didn't want, the scare tactics, the refusal to break my water, the blatant prioritization of his schedule over my needs. It all added up to an experience that was profoundly dehumanizing. If it weren't for the *nurses,* I'm really not sure how I would have gotten through this. They were my lifeline. They protected my wishes, soothed me, advocated relentlessly for me, and held the line when I couldn't. They were the ones who made me feel safe, seen, and supported. I'm writing this not out of spite, but because I hope that sharing my experience will help another expectant mother from having to go through what I did. If compassionate, patient-centered care matters to you, I would *strongly* urge you to look elsewhere.

Dr Noh went above and beyond for my baby, my self, and my husband. He is very communicative and dedicated to his patients. Before my delivery I developed hypertension, he took every precaution to make sure my baby and I were safe. After my delivery, I developed mastitis and he was so kind and caring, I didn't want to come in to the office due to feeling ill and he insisted so that he could make sure nothing was wrong. I'm very thankful that he is thorough and caught the infection before it got worse. Today at my final follow up, I cried in my car after leaving the office.. I truly felt sad that I would not be coming back for check ups and that my pregnancy journey had come to an end. Most doctors I have encountered do not show such personable care for their patients. I know he will be retiring soon but selfishly I hope that he will still have his practice when I have my last baby. Thank you Dr Noh for everything, the world needs more Doctors like you.

The entire appointment felt rushed, with Dr. Smriti jumping to conclusions and trying to diagnose me with something instead of taking the time to identify the root cause. Please avoid going to her. She has a lot of experience, but if you cant listen, you will most likely misdiagnose someone and cause more problems And, not to forget, she has a way of making you feel terrible about yourself if you're single and haven't done egg freezing by a certain age -- almost as if she's promoting her fertility clinic. I remember feeling so defensive, and she only stopped pressing after I told her I had already frozen my eggs. Until then, it was such a terrible and uncomfortable spot to be in.

To book an appointment with Dr. Debra (OBGYN) is getting harder and harder as time goes by towards…read morethe end of my pregnancy. First I could not get an appointment with her but her nurse partitioner or her colleague one week before my due day, as I was told that she was all booked during that week. Indeed, when I saw her three weeks before my due day, she mentioned that she did have several available time slots for that week, she did not know why the reception told me she is all booked up! For my past Patrum appointment, she first canceled my appointment due to an emergency which is understandable, but instead of rescheduling appointment with her in a timely manner, the reception informed me an timely appointment (within 1 week) is only available with her nurse practitioner or I can book an appointment with her after TWO MONTHS!!! I have no choice but to go ahead with an appointment with her nurse practitioner who has not seen me once before. I was notified of the change about my appointment within only 30 mins of my appointment which has created a lot of trouble for a new mom. Last, on the rescheduled appointment day, she postponed my appointment time by 30 mins again. The unorganized booking system here brings me a lot of trouble in both physical and mental levels. I would never come back to this provider in the future.
