I called Dr Granese's office in September 2025, and was told that her first available appointment was 12/17/2025 so I booked it because she came highly recommended. I uploaded my insurance and filled out all this paperwork. I received a call from Selena on 12/2/2025 saying Dr Granese doesn't accept Blue Cross PPO and I would need to book with another provider! This is so unprofessional and completely disrespectful of my time to wait this many months to tell me that they're not going to accept my insurance. read more

Dr. Granese is a great doctor. She was very honest and caring. I felt heard and supported with her!

I had Loved Dr. Granese and have been a patient since she was in private practice--almost 20 years. But I cannot take the chaos of dealing with her large nightmare group practice. I called to schedule a wellness check today for my annual, which is due. The soonest appointment available is in 5 months. I have PPO insurance. That is downright dangerous to push an annual exam and breast exam almost 6 months out, especially for someone like myself that is high risk. I have had to seek healthcare elsewhere. read more

Love dr marsha , she's one of the best doctors in Orange County She goes out of her way to help her patients Her c section scar is barely noticeable vs the other one I have she's amazing read more

I am very disappointed with my visit with Dr. Granese. I scheduled a routine women's wellness exam which was billed correctly (no further charge to me, as my insurance fully covers it). However during the routine exam, Dr. Granese asked me if I had any pain or issues. I said sure, I have bad menstrual cramps and they seem to be getting worse as I age. She speculated that endometriosis is a potential cause of pain but did not elaborate on what could be done about it, nor did I ask further questions. We did not talk any more about it, as I take Motrin to deal with the cramps and that is fine with me -- it was not something that I had serious concerns about and certainly not the reason for the visit. I ended up being charged an extra fee (almost $100) and when I called the billing office, they told me an extra billing code was added for "addressing the patient's concerns" and that the paperwork stated that I told the doctor I had pain during menstruation. While true, I am shocked that answering the doctor's question could lead to an extra charge. This was my first time seeing Dr. Granese; I have never received a surprise bill like this (for such a technicality) from any other provider. I did not proactively bring up any issues or questions to the doctor, as I did not have any concerns. The billing office advised that in the future, I should be careful about talking about ANYTHING other than exactly what is covered by insurance. Should I not answer questions the doctor asks? Hence my disappointment. I appreciate when a doctor wants to help me, not take advantage of me. Leaving this review hoping to help others avoid this same situation. I advise against seeing Dr. Granese, or at least confirming with her if you will be charged BEFORE you answer any questions or engage in a conversation about any topic. Also, FYI there is a $5 parking fee. read more

Dr. Granese is an amazing, caring physician. Where another doctor was pushing a difficult surgery, Dr. Granese took the time to investigate and formulate a course of action not requiring surgery. And she is an accomplished surgeon! I also trust her with my two young adult daughters who love her straight forward caring attitude. I cannot recommend her enough. read more

I went to Dr. Granese a two times. I gave her the benefit of the doubt the first time so that's why I went again but after my last visit, I will not be returning. It's really important to feel comfortable when you are visiting a doctor. You want to feel like you are being taken care of. Both times her nurse/medical assistant was so rude. She was not friendly at all. Dr. Granese was not friendly and she did not answer all my questions nor did she address my concerns. She made me feel really uncomfortable and I regretted coming to her office again. I do not recommend coming here if you are looking for a doctor who is caring. read more

Terrible OBGYN. Very dismissive of any and all symptoms unless you are absolutely in a severe life threatening position. Completely missed my postpartum preeclampsia signs. read more

I have seen Dr. Granese for 20 years and I love her. I have followed her through 3 offices! She always gives me time and I feel that she truly listens to my medical problems and solves them. I have referred her to many of my friends, through the years. read more

Friendly, caring, understanding....those are worlds I would use to describe Dr. Granese. I've only been to her twice...plus a visit to the hospital for a procedure...but she was excellent. She listened to me, put my mind at ease, and explained what was go g to happen and why. She will definitely be my gyn. For the forseeable future. read more

Today I got test results from an imaging center ordered by a new doctor. From a simple slightly invasive ultrasound (that Dr. Granese never once suggested or ordered), it pinpointed several major gynecological issues, finally explaining my pain of several years that she completely missed - every single one of them. She even performed an exploratory laparoscopy to figure out where the pelvic pain was originating from. She literally looked *inside of my body* and couldn't see a single thing. My visits with her, aside from my first appointment, were always very brief and rushed. She's friendly and easygoing, but that's not worth much given everything else. Yikes, go elsewhere, and avoid her psychiatrist ex-husband too. read more

I love Dr. Granese. I began seeing her during my pregnancy, and although I had some complications along the way, I cannot thank her enough for such a wonderful delivery. Seriously, I can actually say I ENJOYED my delivery... how often does that happen!? I've seen multiple specialists, along with a primary care physician, and Dr. Granese is by far the most concerned with my overall well being. I am so grateful for that - thank you, Dr. Granese! (-1 star because office staff is "OK", and wait time can be difficult.. especially if you go mid-day!) read more

I first came to Dr. Granese's office to have my birth control removed (by her nurse) and that experience was perfectly fine. A few months later, my husband and I got pregnant and I began my prenatal care here. This is my second pregnancy but my first under Granese's care due to some insurance changes and my previous amazing medical group not taking my current insurance. My first visit at 6 weeks pregnant was great. Simple standard and straight forward. I came back a few weeks later and that's when things started to go downhill. I had Hyperemesis Gravidarum with my first pregnancy and it came back at 7 weeks with my second so I let the doctor know. Although I had expressed that certain meds in the past didn't work for me, she prescribed them anyway. Every appointment I had felt slightly rushed, I waited for a ridiculous amount of time every time (close to an hour past my appointment, sometimes more). And although I knew other women with my same condition and same severity who got much more aggressive care (PICC lines, zofran pumps, feeding tubes, admission to the hospital for days to stabilize rather than hours, etc) all I got was two prescriptions...one of which I expressed didn't work for me in the first place. No matter how much I asked for more treatment, it fell on deaf ears and I always felt like I wasn't taken seriously, like my condition wasn't serious (I don't know what's not serious about a pregnant woman not eating or drinking even water for periods of two or three weeks at a time), and like it would pass in a few weeks (I'm now 30 weeks pregnant and still sick. Surprise surprise). The most I got was a home health nurse after WEEKS and even that was a pain and half assed. For one, having to get an IV line placed every three days In collapsed dehydrated veins is painful and difficult. Two, all I got was IV zofran...not sure why I wasn't also prescribed IV hydration fluids considering my severe dehydration (the pharmacist and home nurse were puzzled by that as well) and three, even that little bit I got took WEEKS to set up because the doctors office sent over incomplete prescriptions to the pharmacist (how a doctors office doesn't know how to properly fill out a prescription is beyond me) and it took multiple calls over the span of days and finally an in-person trip to the doctors office by my husband to FINALLY get it resubmitted correctly. When you're vomiting 40+ times a day and too weak to even lift your head, every day without relief counts and it's not easy having to make calls in that condition to a doctors office to keep them on top of the job they're supposed to be doing without your pushing. My final straw was my 20 week appointment. We were scheduled for an anatomy scan and a check up. We sat in the waiting room for 90 minutes to get the scan done. After the scan we were sent back to the waiting room and sat for another 30 mins for my appointment before I finally went up to the front desk and asked how much longer the wait was. They said I was up next so I went with the nurse to do my vitals and then was sent back out AGAIN! 2 minutes of taking my weight and blood pressure is not "up next". Seeing the doctor is "up next" and they couldn't give me a straight answer as to when that would happen. I understand doctors offices often run a bit behind, but in my experience, any time there's an exorbitant wait, the office respects the patients time by letting them know early on that it's a wait and allows the patient to make the decision to either waste half their day waiting for the doctor or rescheduling. Not here! Sitting there for two hours as a severely sick pregnant woman with a husband who has a busy work schedule and an understandably bored and antsy 3.5 year old was ridiculous. So I finally just walked out and called South Coast Midwifery (where I should have gone in the first place). They set up a tour that evening and I've happily been with them ever since. AND interestingly enough, I was told by my midwife team that my levels (ketones, proteins, etc) have been OFF despite always being told by dr Granese that they were perfectly normal (that was often her reasoning for not being more proactive and aggressive with my treatment). I knew they couldn't have been normal and it's nice to finally be getting the care that every pregnant woman deserves. The one star for this review is because the ultrasound tech is incredibly sweet and inexperience with Hyperemesis Gravidarum aside, on a personal level, dr. Granese is nice as well. Unfortunately "nice" doesn't fix my awful experience during the first half of my very difficult pregnancy and I will be sure to tell any of my pregnant friends to steer clear of this medical practice read more

I have been with Dr. Granese since the spring of 2014 and I have to say that she is truly wonderful and makes me feel very comfortable and thus far no one else in the field has. The four and not five stars is because of her front office staff, not her. read more

She was great! Delivered my daughter in 2016. My c-section scar is super low and the healing was super quick. She's super friendly, knowledgeable and my husband and I felt very comfortable with her! She answered questions effectively and helped calm me, which is great because I ended up having a few complications: breech, polyhydramnios and my daughter weighed over 9 pounds. read more

Worst experience ever. DO NOT go here. My poor mom has been treated with such disrespect, I've never seen such POOR service on my life. She had an appointment for her annual exam, they make her wait an hour after her appt then tell her it will be ANOTHER hour! Not to mention, the women at the front desk were SO incredibly rude and disrespectful to her. I'm appalled. She never even ended up seeing the doctor! Now she has to make another appt! She will be finding a new doctor! read more

She is nice and seems very knowledgeable in her field, but I had a terrible experience. She informed me I had uterine polyps. In late April, 2019, I had surgery with her to have them removed. Although recovery was quick I did have to be put under. A month later I went to a fertility doctor and when he did an transvaginal ultrasound he said it looked like I still had some. Mid July I had a hysteroscopy and it was confirmed that I had 4 polyps! A new OB, my fertility doctor, and hysteroscopy tech confirmed that polyps could not return that quickly and all stated it would not be possible to not see them during the surgery. In short, while I had a $2,000 bill from my surgery with Dr. Granese sitting on my desk, I found out I would need surgery again. read more

She delivered both my son in 2017 and daughter this year. She's very kind and an educated doctor. I feel comfortable with her suggestions and she really doesn't push any unnecessary procedures or medications. She's also straightforward and non judgmental in dealing with any issues you may have. Her staff are sweet as well. Wait times at the office can end up being pretty long sometimes and that can definitely be an issue for busy people but it's been worth it every time and it has gotten better compared to a few years ago when I was pregnant with my son. I'm happy she was able to be my doctor for my pregnancies and assist me in my delivery. I'll continue to come back for regular checkups as well read more

Was referred to Dr Granese by a friend who is also a dr and wow. I LOVED her! Was not crazy about her medical assistant or whoever it was who took me back to the room, as she was terribly rude (maybe having a bad day?) who knows.... I go back in another week and am hoping for a different experience with the front desk and medical assistant. I wish doctor's understood how important their staff is in the patient's care, or perhaps I am the only one who cares about this stuff?? I don't know.... it's pretty personal care. I want to feel comfortable going into the office. I have zero complaints about Dr. Granese. Will know more in a week! read more

Dr. Granese is great! Extremely professional, kind and competent. So happy to have her as my Dr.

I have never written a review and I'm new to this but I just saw that my doctor is on here and I definitely want to do a review for her she has been my doctor for at least 15 years now and every time I see year which is about once a year she has a balance between professionalism and friendship. She makes me feel so comfortable and has remembered the smallest details in my life that I have confide in her. when I called the office to ask to speak to her I always get a return phone call and she is always there to give me her medical opinion or personal opinion she is an excellent OB/GYN. read more

Dr. Granese has been my OB/GYN for the last 4 years and I cannot say enough good things about her. I have referred her to many of my friends and they all love her. She is very technical, puts her patients first, and really cares about her patient's holistic health. She was my doctor with my first baby and was absolutely fabulous, even when I was struggling with complications with the pregnancy. She is a great Doctor!!! read more

I waited two months for an appt w Dr. Granese and she canceled 2 days before. Her next appt is 3 months from now. I'm very disappointed w her lack of planning. My time and health is valuable and this cancellation has caused me distress. read more

I went to Dr Granese's office for a common female complaint on August 18 and should have guessed at what outcome there might be by the fact the office number on the website is not the actual office number. Oh dear -- no --theyve moved. The new office is lovely but massive. There are probably 10 doctors in the practice and its a giant maze. I then waited 1 hour and 15 minutes because the correct room for my procedure wasnt booked. Ok so I meet the doctor and she seemed nice. She took a culture and sent me on my way. All in 15 mins. Didnt hear anything so I called 1 1/2 weeks later for my results and talked to a VERY snarky call taker who said she sent a message to the MA. I did not hear again until another 1 1/2 weeks on September 7 to tell me my culture was positive and an Rx was called in. So I was in discomfort for more than 3 weeks after seeing the Dr. That isnt reasonable and I wont return. I really worry--what if it had been a really serious condition? Very poor response when a person's health is at stake. Shame. read more

Dr. Granese delivered my second daughter. I absolutely adore and love her and I am so thankful for her care. She has been so wonderful every step of the way (even with some complications). She will forever be my doctor and wish I found her earlier. read more

Dr Granese is the best ob gyn I've EVER had! She's patient, kind, welcoming and very knowledgeable. She allowed my husband and I to try a VBA2C (vaginal birth after 2 cesarians) and we are forever grateful for all of her efforts. We were successful because of her and how diligent she was. She knew it was important to us so she used as many resources necessary, while still remaining focused on my and baby's safety, and I cannot thank her enough. We're now expecting our second son and could not be more happy to have dr Granese delivering. I never want to birth without her! read more

Dr. Granese might just be the best doctor that I have known. She not only is excellent in her field, but she also has a way of making her patients feel comfortable and at ease. She is very down to earth and easy to talk to... which makes a big difference! read more

I had scheduled an appointment to be seen here, and i asked how much an office visit would cost for a patient with insurance.. i was told they cannot give out prices over the phone (even if you tell them exactly what you're going to be seen for). That's ridiculous, some people like myself like to be prepared for medical expenses, they couldnt even give a ballpark guesstimate of what the cost would be. The person on the phone was rude and unhelpful. Also their hold times are at least 7 mins every time you call, and i was told that the san clemente office is not really in use by any of the doctors ??? read more

Dr. Granese is, without a doubt, one of the worst doctors I have ever encountered. Not necessarily because she isn't educated, but because of her ego. She did not like me questioning her or disagreeing with her about her intended course of treatment for my daughter. Given my years in healthcare, I've learned some important lessons: 1) be your own advocate and do not be afraid to ask questions; and 2) if a doctor gets snippy, angry, impatient, bothered, offended or anything similar, then that is not the doctor for you. Dr. Granese did not want to do anything but push drugs and more drugs on my daughter....which was having no effect to help her. I kept questioning that something else must be driving my daughter's continued condition; Dr. Granese wouldn't hear of it. I ended up taking my daughter to another doctor who truly listened and ended up discovering the "driving force" behind my daughter's condition. A condition that would have never been treated or cured by Dr. Granese's drug pushing! But instead could have actually made her gravely ill. I absolutely love my daughter's new doctor and cannot say enough good things. Probably saved her life. It's important to remember that doctors work for us. We choose them and we can fire them (by choosing another doctor). No doctor has the right to dismiss any patient concerns. We aren't there to stroke their egos, we are there for sound medical care. Dr. Granese would be well advised to remember this before her need to feed her ego over patient care that ends up seriously hurting someone. read more

Dr. Granese is amazing!!!! I had pain that was ongoing for over a year. After a good amount of tests surgery was needed. She was amazing at explaining everything and making me feel comfortable. I had an issue with my insurance that the office and Dr. Granese fought for me and the importance of the surgery. Before surgery she came to see me and said that today would be a great day. I know it is not much but it relieved me so much. She came to talk to my family after surgery to explain what was found and relieved stress. After surgery she called me after office hours to check on me which was much appreciated. Then I had a secondary infection or illness which resulted in a high fever. Her staff made appointments to see the doctor and Dr. Granese called me again after office hours to go over the results. I have never been so happy to find a good doctor and recommend her to everyone I run into. I refuse to change my insurance just to keep her as my doctor. read more

Dr Granese is professional, kind, respectful and genuine. I am grateful for her demeanor and professionalism.

I was dr. Granese's patient for 5 years saw her once a year. I gave her one star because she put me throw hell after placing marina IUD. from the the minute she placed it i started having severe pain so i waited a few days and made an appointment to remove it. when i got there they said she had an emergence and the other dr will Preformed the removal she said the reason for the pain is because it was put in wrong. They of course charged me and my insurance for there mistake. after the nurse assured me that she will talk to dr. Granese, I called seval times asking to talk to her but none of my phone calls were returned. to avoid collection i called the billing department to pay my bills of course they return my call the same day. Apparently my HSA card was expired and didn't go threw, keep in mind that i have $7000 on that account $200 is not going to break me. Without a warning or even a phone call they send me to collection. All I wanted from dr. Granese is to call me back......... read more

Dr. Granese and staff.....nothing but trouble. Full of explanations and excuses for not satisfying patients needs. I called a week after having an ultrasound done and not receiving a phone call about the results. I was told by staff that the doctor still needed to review the results.....I knew the office had already received the results the day after my test. The medical assistant called me back stating the results were normal and proceeded to go over test results from 6 months ago as well. Then, Dr. Granese called me to rip me up one side and down the other for using vulgar language.....which was so NOT the case. And that I should consider myself lucky for getting the results within a week of having the test done. Since most medical offices don't give test results for a month unless it is life threatening. Apparently she doesn't look in people's charts or listen to what they are saying because I have been working in the medical field for 10 plus years and it has never taken my doctors a month to give test results. Therefore, I immediately requested all of my records from her office and will be finding a new ob/gyn. Regardless of the outcome of test results, it should never take so long to receive test results. And her talking down to patients is so uncalled for!!!!!! Karma is a bitch, no matter who you are. read more
