Dr. Christianson's first question was if i live in Lamorinda. As a Nurse, I asked how her surgical approach for endometriosis surgery. Her answer was a bit questionable to me being in the field and after research & second opinion at UCSF. That is not the best option I will go for. My endometriosis has improved by 80% with UCSF non surgical recommendation. You only have one set of reproductive organs. The bay area has the best endometriosis doctors in the nation. There are other established programs (Stanford, kaiser, south). It was a mistake to go here because it was close to home.

I highly recommend Dr. Cheruba Prabakar…read more Over the last two years, she has helped me navigate everything from future fertility decisions after having three children, to breast cancer risk given my family history, to now exploring hormone replacement therapy and all of the nuances that come with it. What I appreciate most is that she takes the time to look at the whole picture. When needed, she's connected me with other specialists and helped me build the right team so I could make informed decisions with confidence. I've sought information through various third-party women's health companies, but none have come close to the depth, thoughtfulness, and individualized care that Dr. Prabakar provides. I'm learning that HRT is rarely straightforward, and what will set her apart is how carefully she reviews my history, symptoms, and bloodwork before making recommendations. Her bedside manner is warm, knowledgeable, thorough, and never makes me feel rushed. As a physician affiliated with Northwell Health, she brings a level of expertise and professionalism that has given me tremendous confidence in her guidance. Private care is certainly an investment and a luxury for most, but I genuinely believe Dr. Prabakar saves her patients significant time, confusion, and heartache by helping them make thoughtful decisions from the beginning. I leave every appointment feeling informed, supported, and confident in my next steps. I feel incredibly fortunate to have her in my corner.

He has performed multiple surgeries on me over the years, and I have trusted him with my care. Unfortunately, my recent experiences with the practice have been very disappointing. Over the past year, the office has rescheduled my appointments twice. At my most recent visit, I waited 45 minutes for a routine annual exam. The practice also feels much more impersonal than it once did. I used to feel seen and heard, but that is no longer my experience. I was recently transferred to the RSVP office, where I don't know any of the providers. After being a loyal patient for so many years, I felt more like I was being passed along than cared for. Dr. Wells remains a skilled and compassionate physician, but the office, patient experience, and continuity of care have changed significantly. I hope the practice takes this feedback to heart and remembers the value of long-term patient relationships.

Why did you let me keep driving for 30-40 minutes when I could have just turned around? I honestly am in shock to their disregard. They could have easily told me we will have to reschedule when I called in. I'm extremely disappointed. Will never return

Rose Senior Vemulapalli Physicians (RSVP) made my second pregnancy the best experience yet. A huge…read morethank you to everyone I met here, especially Lauren A and Dr. V! You all are the best! I can't thank you enough for taking such amazing care of my mental health, my baby boy, and my pregnancy. If you're new here, be sure to read this review thoroughly so you're fully prepared to have as great of an experience as I did! What to Expect as a New Patient: First things first, if you're a new patient, call to schedule your appointment. Before heading in, make sure to arrive at least 15 minutes early to fill out paperwork. When you arrive at the office, get in line, be ready to show your insurance card, and then wait for your name to be called. Once it's your turn, they'll take your weight and bring you to a room to meet with your midwife or doctor. Before that, you'll have your blood pressure checked and be asked a few routine questions, like your preferred pharmacy. First Pregnancy Check-Up: If this is your first pregnancy check-up, they'll likely bring in a monitor to confirm your pregnancy. If you're expecting, congratulations! After that, you'll have regular visits, typically once a month, to monitor your baby's heartbeat. Future Check-Ups: As your pregnancy progresses, the frequency of your appointments will increase. You'll go from monthly visits to bi-weekly appointments, and by 36 weeks, you'll likely visit every week. In between appointments, you'll need to complete your glucose screening and blood work at a separate location. Labor & Delivery: When it's time for your baby's arrival, be sure to call the office so they can prepare John Muir for your delivery. Then, just load up your baby bag and head to the hospital. Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by one of the midwives who has been with you throughout your pregnancy. By now, you'll feel comfortable with the staff, so you'll be in good hands. One thing to note: While they strive to have your preferred midwife or doctor with you during delivery, they can't guarantee it. However, when I delivered my second son, Lauren was there to help, and she was incredibly professional and took great care of me and my baby. Post-Labor: After delivery, they'll follow up with you and schedule your postpartum check-up for six weeks after your delivery. Overall Experience: Overall, I never felt like my care was transactional. The team at RSVP took the time to truly listen to me, address what I was going through during my pregnancy, and even helped me through the recovery process after delivery. I can't recommend them enough. 10 stars!!!

They have to do better as I have never heard of a doctor's office making a patient wait on hold 45 minutes to make a simple appointment. Why don't they have appointments online or use a AI receptionist? They cannot expect patients to wait on the phone to get a simple appointment. I hope the office can improve this with technology that is available.

After many years, my husband and I decided to try again. This time, we went through his insurance. We had such a horrible experience with the other clinic, we moved our leftover embryos back with Dr. Aimee. She gladly accepted to help us with our second. I cannot praise Dr. Aimee enough! She is a literal angel on earth. The reason we went to Dr. Aimee for our first son was because we didn't want to be treated like another number on a conveyor belt and she did not disappoint. Dr. Aimee goes above and beyond what anyone could ever expect as a patient. She has amazing bedside manners, she's hilarious and she answers any and all questions very thoroughly - I always wonder how she sleeps. If results didn't go our way, she showed us so much compassion. We never felt like another number/statistic and that's more than you can ever ask for while going through the stress of IVF. She might not take insurance, but you definitely get what you pay for. I've been with her for 2 retrievals, 6 years apart resulting in my 2 beautiful babies. We cannot thank Dr. Aimee enough! I've seen her practice expand and it's exciting to see how many more people she's able to help. Her team is AMAZING, warm and comforting. They communicate and troubleshoot issues efficiently and effectively. I never had any surprises with procedures or billing. We would recommend her a million times over because she is such a gem in Healthcare and an amazing human being. Thank you Dr. Aimee for helping us expand our family two times!! Saying we are greatful for Dr. Aimee is an understatement. We get to cherish our beautiful babies because of you. We love you!

Dr. Aimee is not only an incredible doctor, but also an incredible human being. She is very kind…read moreand empathetic and has great bedside manner. I have been seeing Dr. Aimee for about a year now and figured it was time for a review. Although we have not been successful yet, I have been to several other clinics prior to Dr. Aimee and truly feel that she has been the best by far and wanted to lay out a few reasons: (1) Dr. Aimee personally saw me for every single appointment so she was the one doing my ultrasound and bloodwork. She also always took extra time to have us speak to her in her office after every appointment to go over next steps. That is a level of care I haven't seen at other clinics, where it is sometimes rare to see your doctor more than a few times the entire cycle. (2) I have been going through IVF for 4 years, which means I have had many many ultrasounds done throughout that time. I had been diagnosed with DOR and "unexplained" infertility. Since Dr. Aimee personally attended to me at every appointment, she got to know my symptoms and body very well. She knew what was normal for me and what was not normal. After only 5 months with Dr. Aimee, she discovered silent endometriosis off a random comment I made about a sore back, despite no signs of endometriosis. She was then able to guide me towards a specialist, where I had laparoscopic surgery to discover Stage II endometriosis. I likely would've continued believing "unexplained" infertility was my diagnosis if she hadn't put in the effort to dig deeper. This is a huge benefit when you are actually seeing your provider every appointment. (3) Communication with Dr. Aimee is readily available and easy. This has been really helpful for me in those random moments where something stressful comes up or if something happens over the weekend, she is always responsive. I really appreciate the communication aspect because infertility is a huge and stressful battle and she truly makes sure that your doctor is not an additional source of stress. This is unlike other clinics I have been to, where communication and getting in touch with your doctor can be really difficult. She truly cares about each and every patient and wants you to succeed. (4) Dr. Aimee is a great doctor for people that feel like they've "tried everything else." She is willing to think outside the box to come up with different solutions to your problems. Additionally, she is constantly doing research and trying to find new ideas on how to find new avenues to success. There are so many other great things I want to say about Dr. Aimee, but it would make this review even longer! She is truly an incredible woman and doctor and I feel very grateful to have her as my doctor.

Dr. Zhang checks all those boxes. She was able to advise me on which tests were necessary and which ones weren't, called to check on me when I was hospitalized during my second pregnancy, takes time to explain things to me, and listens to the questions and concerns that I have. I appreciate the attention that she gives to me, despite getting the standard ten minutes or less that patients get with the doctor. My only regret is that I did not see her for my first pregnancy, or the story might have ended happily.

To see if they…read morecan see why I have pain on my right abdomen (primary thinks it has to do with fibroids in my uterus) 2. Get my IUD removed. 3. Annual check up. She stated she could only do one per appointment - which made no sense but I figured she didn't have much time to spend with me or it has to do with how they bill their insurance. I found out it was the latter which is even more frustrating. IN that appointment only one she was willing to do was remove my IUD and demanded I get on another form of birth control. I was getting my IUD removed because I completely stopped getting my period and my IRON count was off the charts to the point my primary doctor was concerned and needed me to see a oncologist. Due to this I didn't not want to be on any birth control and wait it to out to see if could get my period. I'm in my late 40s and was also wondering if I was perimenopausal. Because I refused to get on any birth control. She gave me a very judgmental speech about how a women my age should not be getting pregnant and odds of me actually using a condom would be highly unlikely. I was surprised to get that speech and I don't know if that was direct to me because of the way I was dressed or because of the way I looked as she obviously was assuming me to be irresponsible. I was so thrown off by that conversation and found it really unnecessary. And if pushing birth control is necessary in her job she needs a better way of delivering that message. That said I still need to do a annual check up and check to see if can get my abdomen checked out for the pain. So I had to schedule another appointment. Since then, my appointment has been canceled and rescheduled twice because of her. I was told the first one was because she had decided to extend her camping trip. The second was because she decided to call off for the week and that was this most recent one. Each time of each reschedule I have had to wait a full month or more to get on their calendar. Ridiculous. I am now looking for another OBGYN office. This was a complete waste of my time.
