I was surprised in a good way. Yessi is super patient and her bedside manner is very caring precise and direct. She listens to all of my complaints and takes everything I say seriously. Where in my experience with other Drs, historically some would diminish my complaints or brush something off as normal. That is not the case with Yessi Felipe. I fell fully listened to. I enjoy coming to this office and would highly recommend. This is a private office and My wait Time is very limited. I usually visit the Drs office either early in the morning or at lunch time and I am in and out. I do not like offices that treat patients like they are running a mill. You know, the ones where patients are sitting around waiting hours and hours. No thank you! I have private insurance and will not tolerate that. I am a professional and my time is money. I appreciate the time management at the Hallandale beach OBGYN. The waiting room is small due to the building structure. I appreciate this as well. Given that there is very little wait time, you don't need a large waiting room. The rooms themselves are normal size. I even put in an emergency request using the dr portal and received a call back the same day! Thank you so much for that! I couldn't be happier with the service and attention I have received! By the way, I have never had a billing issue. I did once have an issue where the call for the appointment confirmation said to confirm press one to cancel press two. I pressed 2 and then received a call stating that I missed my appointment. However, since they only started charging the $25 cancellation fee after that happened that was not an issue for me. It's like everything. Everyone ya different standards based on preference.

Long time want to give dr Starikov review. Back few years ago he was recommended by my client…read more Never liked to go to Russian doctors, but had no one else in mind and decided to see him. First regular check up was in the beginning of the year, then they told me in the office: if all my tests be normal office won't call me. I should be smarter and call myself to find out, but I did not. About 6 months later I had some spotting, I was in menopause for about a year. Came back to Dr Starikov. He walks in and in the middle of his office announcing " If you in menopause for a year, most likely it's a cancer " . The floor disappeared under my feet. I got myself together and asked, what is the next step? He says to get biopsy, which was very painful procedure done right away. After knowing that I may have cancer, like Dr Starikov announced and waiting over weekend and few days after for results called back on Tuesday and receptionist tells me they will call back, then computer was down, then by Thursday still not knowing what is going on, called by the end of the day and for an answer from receptionist: " Woman, why do you call us every day, we are very busy ". I knew then not to stay in this office, if I have something serious going on, how I will be treated later on? Asked them to prepare my records and find another doctor. And I did. This American woman doctor from Jackson Memorial in Miami explained to me all for an hour, best and worst case scenario, I will be fine in any case. Took biopsy, very gently, even it was unpleasant process. But with her care and explanation it was not bad at all. She did sonogram and they saw a polyp. After all, no cancer. This wonderful doctor removed two polyps , which was the cause of my spotting. NO CANCER! My suggestion to Dr Starikov: don't be so greedy about money by seeing Russian pregnant women, witch was so popular at that time to grab big money. Be a good person first, care about your patients. I would stay away from this doctor, money is a priority not a patient!

Laura E. Reinerston, M.D…read more Overall experience was well, interesting. The decor and ambiance was incredibly tasteful and not much like a regular doctor's office. There was a taste of upper-class luxury. If you're a first time patient, they make you fill out some paperwork (as usual) but you do this while sitting on a big nice comfy-ass couch. Btw, if you have a 9am appointment & a first timer - you should be out in a little less than an hour and a half. :) The staff - well, let's just say that doctor Reinerston was very well dressed. So much so, that I thought she was the secretary. Then the secretary came in and I hoped to god she wasn't the doctor. That woman had the highest heels ever! Nevertheless, the staff was very nice and comforting. The doctor - definitely knows her stuff and had a lovely office (I took a peak). She was very quick with the procedure but was good with the analysis. In a matter of minutes, she wrote me a few prescriptions, gave instructions (which I zoned out for) and I was on my way. She doesn't seem to pry and get too much into your personal life but does give her recommendations. Side note: She accepts Humana and tries to get the insurance to cover as much as possible. It does however, seem like it would be pricey without insurance; just in case you were wondering.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRACTICE: They could not perform ultrasounds when I went, requiring visits to the associated OB or even the ER in urgent situations. Spent 4 hours and tons of tears in the ER because heartbeat was not detected due to this lack of in-office capability. All my medical concerns and discomfort during pregnancy were repeatedly dismissed and met with "pregnancy is uncomfortable", basically deal with it. This led to missed and delayed diagnoses, including unmanaged levels and late-detected anemia. Insensitive comments about my weight had me feeling body-shamed during pregnancy. I was once asked if I noticed the beautiful thin pregnant patient in waiting room because she was great! During my quick labor and once she actually acknowledged my pain, asking if I wanted epidural, it was too late. At one point, she yelled at me to shut up. My postpartum appointment was impersonal; she did not remember basic details about me and also asked the gender of my child she had just delivered. It was laughed off as she was so busy, how could she remember them all. The associated OB she must work with to overlook her patients, Dr. Cantero, provided rushed, impersonal care. We received quick ultrasounds without much explanation or even time to enjoy the experience. He left the room so fast once, leaving the door wide open while I was reclined half naked in the chair needing help to get up. Worst of all, he incorrectly gave us our baby's gender ensuring he was "99% sure." I still STRONGLY advise choosing a qualified OB over midwifery, especially if complications or health concerns arise. Nelly lacked empathy (possibly the knowledge) and care to send me high-risk help in my situation. With such great reviews on both providers, I felt the need to leave my honest, detailed experience hoping it helps someone. High ratings don't always mean high quality, especially when those reviews lack detail.

I asked her to the point of almost begging her for the doctor to see some results I had and that for me were very important, a no, and no one can't do anything about it was all I got. She didn't even asked me what it was about or gave any importance to my matter (thanks god I wasn't dying or something like that) all she keeps saying was that they were almost closed, I asked her to talk to the doctors nurse and she said no, it was humiliating to be at a doctor office asking for something so simple and being refused in a very unprofessional way, as I told her I'm taking my health and business somewhere else.

I was luck to be referred to Dr. Firestone by Dr. Gittelmon as I was in need of a new Gynecologist…read moreas my previous Doctor moved out of area. He took the time to talk to me and listen to my issues. He ran tests to make sure I was 100% taken care of and completely free of any issues. I came in with an issue of spotting so he did a vaginal ultrasound when that was inconclusive he called me personally next day. Although I was scared he performed a biopsy that proved negative thankfully. He changed my hormones to a different medication that was more up to date. Also he said they make you sleepy the ones I was on which made me feel better as I wondered why I was always tired. The only thing left to schedule is an annual mammogram which I get regularly without issues. My only issue is with his office staff when I came for the vaginal ultrasound I paid a co pay that I was told. Later I find out from my insurance that it was an overpayment. So when I returned for the biopsy I once again was asked for a copayment when I showed the evidence the person at the counter shut me down and told me that is billing. So she wants to collect but when it's an issue she doesn't want to talk to me. Guess how I was treated than? I than waited over an hour to see the Dr. funny how everyone else was taken before me? When I wanted my parking validated the same woman I wouldn't say lady at this juncture you will have to wait on the way out? Really all the other visits they stamped me when I arrived. So my co pay by this point was $5. and the same nasty person stamped me after my visit. I guess she showed me?! Some people should not be working with the public. Hopefully by next year's annual check up someone steals her away.
