The office staff made terrible choices in an emergency situation and I am never going back…read more I have a years of experience seeing doctors and have never had a situation this horrible because of negligent staff and negligent management. I had a laparoscopy with Dr Smith on April 21st. She was an amazing doctor and incredible surgeon. A few days later, I tried to reach her because my pain was off the charts and I couldn't keep any food down. This was an emergency. The entire day, we tried reaching her through the office and the front desk people would not give her a message, would not let us wait on hold to talk to her between patients, consistently hung up on us when we said that it was an emergency. It was 5:30pm before Dr. Smith knew that we needed to contact her. I landed in the ER and was re-hospitalized because of this place. I am horrified to imagine what other patients may have gone through because of poor management. Please look somewhere else if you can; do not trust these people with your health or the health of your fetus.

I regret not trusting the reviews I read before choosing this OB. From the start, appointments feel…read moreextremely rushed and impersonal. During our ultrasound, he literally said, "I'll show you real quick," which felt dismissive and took away from what should be a meaningful moment for expecting parents. There was no effort to explain what we were seeing, no reassurance, and we weren't offered any ultrasound printouts of our baby at all. The entire visit felt transactional, like he was trying to get us in and out as fast as possible. He also asked me in front of my partner if I had an std in the past. Granted me and my partner share everything with eachother, the doctor doesn't know our dynamic . Typically, doctors ask these questions in private, either on forms or one on one time, to respect patient privacy and reduce embarrassment or discomfort. Pregnancy is an emotional and important time, and bedside manner matters. Unfortunately, this provider comes across as rushed, dismissive, and lacking compassion. I would not recommend him to anyone looking for attentive, patient-centered prenatal care. Safe to say, we are searching for a new doctor. Also, the front desk girl is very rude. She doesn't greet you at all. She rudely said " name?".. THAT was my greeting. So cold and rude.

Highly recommended doctor - here's why: Dr. Jesse Wood is…read moretruly different from most others. He doesn't overbook appointments, so you won't find yourself waiting one to two hours like at many other clinics even when you arrive on time. Here, appointments are honored, and your time is genuinely respected.  He was incredibly thorough, even drawing a diagram to help me understand. After seeing four other OB-GYNs, he was the first to clearly explain my condition and help me easier to weigh the pros and cons. He is extremely patient, listens carefully and takes the time to answer every single question without rushing. Honestly, he's a rare find. I was also surprised and impressed that the clinic accepts credit cards and provides receipts in digital format. It's a very modern and up-to-date practice. They even have a well-designed website where I can view my appointment details and ask simple medical questions online. The fact that they've invested in making things more convenient for patients shows how much they care. Dr. Wood and his clinic truly stand out.

He is located in the PVMC building 2nd floor (confusing since it says he's in suite 101). The front staff is friendly and the nurse who helped me, Coral (if I remember correctly), was nice as well. Dr. Elsharkawy introduced himself and made the effort to try to get to know me, which I appreciated as a first time patient with him. He has a very calm and friendly demeanor and made me feel very comfortable throughout the exam, and was able to do a full well woman visit that day (I thought I was only getting a consult meeting as a first time patient). I don't plan on having any more babies, but I'm sure he'd be great if that's what you need. I found out he's actually a family doctor as well, so I can see him as my primary care physician also! I'm so glad I found him and am happy to have him as my new doctor!

My wife and I have been into Dr. Akram's office for the majority of my wife's pregnancy and for…read moremonths we loved her and thought she provided excellent care. Today we walked in for her 6 week postpartum appointment and they had no record that we had scheduled the appointment. She ran into the exam room and quickly, as she was trying to walk out of the door, gave single word answers to the questions my wife was asking. She was dismissive and wanted the appointment over as soon as humanly possible. I've also been trying to get her office to complete some insurance paperwork since March, and they continue to not fill out the paperwork that I've requested - as such, my insurance hasn't paid and a lab company wants nearly $4,000 for a test that should be covered under my plan. As we were leaving, we found out she is retiring TOMORROW and couldn't be bothered to end her patient relationships she spent so much time building with dignity and professionalism. Enjoy your retirement.

I saw Dr. Toni Vu in June 2026. My experience with her was awful. After a cursory 2-minute exam…read moreshe diagnosed a serious condition requiring lifelong treatment, lichen sclerosis, and she prescribed strong ongoing lifelong steroid treatment. Because it was so serious, and because of her behavior - unfriendly and edging sideways toward the door while talking to me, obviously trying to leave as soon as possible - I went to other doctors to get a second & third opinion. I've seen three other doctors - all highly regarded professionals, two affiliated with the UCLA medical system and one in private practice - and all of them emphatically confirmed I do NOT have that condition. I would never trust Dr. Vu. The whole experience with her was unpleasant, topped by a frightening diagnosis of a serious condition that was discredited by three other physicians.

I saw Dr. Toni Vu at my very first visit at Care for Womens Medical group…read more A little info about me: This was my first pregnancy, over the age of 35, and I have a history of hypertension. This first visit, my BP read at stage 2 hypertension (i was later informed). Dr. Toni Vu entered the room with 2 students who were shadowing her. She didn't warn me or ask me if I was okay with the student doctors she just came in very arrogantly and didn't seem to care about my feelings. I asked her a series of questions, which she answered reluctantly as if she were annoyed with all of them. I asked her if my prenatals were good, and I tried showing her the ingredients, and she didn't even give it the time of day she just dismissed me and said yeah yeah they're fine. For most of the visit, she sat in a chair, and she didn't write anything down she let the students write everything. She told me everything looked good and didn't bring up my history of hypertension, which was on her chart since I've been a patient of Care for Womens for years now. She also didn't point out to me that my BP reading at this particular visit was really high, especially for pregnant women. She put on my visit that my medical history was non-contributory... now that I know more, i realize my medical history, my age, and it being my 1st pregnancy was the utmost contributor. She didn't bring up any of this to me. I'm not sure if the OBs discriminate against insurance or even against race, but looking back, i did not get good treatment from Dr. TONI VU from the getgo. I should have run from this establishment and never looked back. She was rude and lacked compassion. She also put all these notes for this visit that she checked all these physical things on me, which she didn't. Thanks for no help, Dr. TONI Vu, I hope you're proud of how you provided guidance to me and my baby who didn't survive. What is the point of going to doctors when they don't want to guide their patients properly, or they just treat you like a number? Then they wonder why people are always doing their own research nowadays.

She genuinely cares about her patients. She always asks about my daughter and remembers all the little tidbits - both medical and non-medical - that I tell her. I never feel rushed; she takes her time and is very thorough. In fact, she's begun to use a scribe so that we can speak directly. She's not looking at a screen the way some doctors do while I wonder if they're listening. I realize we're doctor and patient but it truly feels like a relationship. And given the type of medical care a gynecologist provides that's what I'm looking for.
