Mary O'Toole is very unhelpful. I trust ChatGPT more than I trust her lol. When I simply answered routine questions regarding my mental health, she acted appalled and taken aback by me being honest? Not a good look for a "care provider". Also was completely unsympathetic and calloused toward my severe debilitating nausea, not to mention once again DID NOT HELP AT ALL. Fake nice. Would not recommend if you need anything other than a five min consultation and don't already have the ability to answer your own questions read more

Dr. O'Toole, what can I say? She is a very kind, patient and sweet physician. I was seeing her for two out of four pregnancies. My first pregnancy I had no idea she existed until my friend referred me to her. For my last pregnancy, my insurance changed so I could no longer see her. For the two times that I did have Dr. O'Toole, I was very happy with her care. She was both personable and professional. I had a couple scares, but she stayed with me throughout the ordeal and even held my hand through it all. I am so happy to have had her as my doctor. If you are able to see her with your insurance, I highly recommend her. read more

Dr. O'toole is skilled, knowledgeable and professional. I appreciate her feedback and thoughtfulness to women, including myself. The office is also very good at getting back to you right away on the portal. read more

I have been a patient of Dr.O'Toole since 2007 (!) and she is as incredible today as when I first met her. I briefly left the clinic to have my 4th baby at an out of hospital birth , however went back to OCWG when it was time for my yearly checkups. Staff can be a hit or miss and I've met SO many different nurses, receptionists, lab techs etc. in the years I've been here but never had a horrible (or off putting) experience with anyone. Thank You for always putting your patients and their health first, please never ever retire. read more

Dr. O'Toole is very compassionate and gives her full attention to you during the visit. I also like being able to schedule all of my testing (PAP, Bone Density, Mammogram) on the same day and with back to back appointments. read more

I saw these amazing reviews and was looking for a new OBGYN. I made an appointment with her through her office like 6 months out. I had an acute painful problem last week and they were unable to take me. So I found a great doctor I was referred to, and I like him much better. Today I spent most of my Morning waiting on hold in an attempt to cancel my appointment. The voice mail box didn't work, and the call back service sent me to a line no one answered. Maybe Dr. O'Toole is a great doctor but I find her office/ staff inefficient and problematic. Maybe they are trying to vet their new clients to get of patients who actually want to have an OBGYN and are actively trying to solve their female problems. I am sure it's easy to care for low maintenance patients. If so they are doing a great job! read more

Dr. Mary Otoole is the greatest! The only thing is you'll have to wait to see her but it is sooooo worth it! She knows her stuff and she cares! She saved our baby Amanda, with God's help. And as the years roll by I hear other moms that had miracles happen...thanks to Dr Otoole. We love love love you! read more

I tried to make an appointment - as a new patient. I have just moved to the area and have no GYN. Waited for ages before the answering service person came online. She asked me my date of birth and then promptly hung up on me. I guess they don't want new patients read more

Dr. Mary O'Toole is gentle, kind, patient, extremely knowledgable, listens to her patients needs and concerns and she helps in any way that she can. I highly recommend her. I have referred many people to her over the years and they all love her. It's not surprising that her schedule is extremely full, but it's 100% worth the wait. read more

I love writing this yelp reviews because Dr. O'Toole including her entire practice and staff is just AMAZING! I've delivered two children with,Orange Coast Women's Medical group and Dr. Mary O'toole truly makes you feel like family(I mean this). She is the kindest and truly most genuine Dr. I've met. I have had such a great experience under her care and she is so experienced that I wouldn't go to anyone else when pregnant or for an ONGYN. First, I was a hormonal mess and had a lot going on during my pregnancy, and not the easiest patient to handle. Dr. O'toole and her staff was always so warm and empathetic to my situation (IE: having to work with me with traffic as I lived some distance from her office). Her bedside manner is barr none. I love that Orange Coast Women's Medical Group is connected to Saddleback hospital(top 3% in the nation and the delivery rooms look like a suite in a hotel; just beautiful rooms to deliver in). When you go in labor she can literally just walk over to the hospital! On the same floor as Dr. O'toole is an ultrasound office and stress testing. It's an all inclusive facility and I am so blessed to have her as my Dr. they make you want to be a patient for life! read more

I was apprehensive after reading some of the reviews, but for my 1st visit, my appointment went smoothly. The services provided were exemplary in meeting my needs. The doctor and staff were friendly, knowledgable, and helpful. read more

Best OBGYN Dr. in Orange County. Kind, caring, and listens to your needs and concerns.

I never thought I would say this; but my annual pap exam was delightful. This odd statement is because of Dr. O'Toole's amazing competence and compassion. This doctor exudes kindness and caring. She listened to me and treated me with the upmost respect. The exam was painless and swift. Additionally, all rest results were prompt and easy to access. Furthermore, every person I encountered in her practice was warm and lovely. I highly recommend Dr. O'Toole. She has a patient for life with me. read more

She is the best obgyn. I had a great experience with her and her team. Very caring very skilled and very honest person.

I do not typically write reviews but I feel I must write this one. This is not about the doctor,i visited her only once and my experience was good. I am writing about her front office.I spoke with this lady(Jane/jan) cant spell her name exactly from front office. Very Rude,Arrogant and Zero courtesy n no respect for patients. read more

Dr. O'Toole is an excellent, loving, and caring OBGYN. I have known Dr. O'Toole for a very long time. She takes excellent care of her patients and is very responsive. I have always felt like she treats her patients like her family members. Since Dr. O'Toole is very popular, it's challenging to make an appointment with her. You usually need to make these appointments way ahead of time. This might cause frustration for some people, but she's fully booked for a long time because she's a very good doctor. So if you have a yearly well check that you can book far in advance, you should try to make an appointment with her. If you have an urgent need, there are other OBGYNs in the same office that you can see quickly. read more

Can I give a 0 star? I hope so. I had really bad experience with Dr.Otoole. This OB is very fake in giving me hugs, but she cannot help anything as a professional. She does not have knowledge or skill to be a doctor at all. It was really a bad luck for me to choose her as my doctor, i was taking a BIG risk in only hoping I needed be 100% healthy during pregnancy so I would not be cared by her since she could not. She give no useful advises and when I had any complicacy, she only care and protect herself by giving no treatment or advice in stead of caring patients. There are so many patients complaining waiting long hours, but they only realized she was the worst then change to another OB until too late like I did. She is diligent in advertising herself and getting more and more patients (while giving each patient least time) so she can make more money. She cares making more money and dressing up rather than patients. If you care your baby, plz look for another OB. Dr.Otoole is not recommended. Now from my experience, I think she was too old to think clearly to be a professional. She does not care any complicacy patients have and regard death or failure as normal and not important. She only care her job as business and making money for her is first priority. So she is getting more and more patients, so now patients are waiting so long hours but receive only 5 minutes meeting with her and are often neglected by her. We are moms, we care baby and our pregnancy, but she cares her business and making more money. I am very angry with her attitude for baby and pregnancy. Patients need to wait for long time and she does not want to spend more minutes with you in her office even you waits for long hours. She is not able to answer my questions. And she only fool people whose pregnancy is all healthy and who is lucky and does not need a OB actually. There are so many accidents happen, but she just neglected all the accidents and hoping all her patients are LUCKY&HEALTHY so she does not need to help at all, since she has no knowledge or skill. Definitely not a good OB. Think it over, if we will be healthy all the time during pregnancy, we don't need a doctor at all. So we expect the OB to help when complicacy happens, so only when you know how Dr.Otoole can handle the comlicacies, she can be reviewed as good or bad. I don't expect her to hug me all the time, I expect a good OB to be sharp, smart and helpful. Definitely bad luck to be her patient. Hope more women can realize this and look for a skilled and sharp OB. She "appears" to be nice and emotionally love patients, but actually she has no skill or knowledge to answer my questions or give useful advise or help me under any complicacies, so she can do nothing but hug me. read more

I started going to Dr. O'Toole in early 2015 when I first found out I was pregnant with my first baby. Making an appointment was really easy. I had read the bad reviews about her front office but honestly have NEVER encountered any rudeness or incompetence. Dr. O'Toole delivered both of my babies and I am beyond grateful to her and her staff plus Saddleback Memorial for their expertise, amazing patient care and professionalism. Front Office: I give 5 stars. Everyone has always been super friendly and helpful. They have an online portal so once you are a patient you can schedule your appointments online and even as your doctor questions or request prescriptions. Wait Times: I give 5 stars because there have only been maybe 3 times where I had to wait a super long time. But those 3 times were because Dr. O'Toole was called in to deliver a baby. This can't be helped. If it were you delivering a baby you would greatly appreciate her dropping everything to come to you. Medical Staff: 5 stars. Dr. O'Toole's staff make you feel comfortable and well taken care of. Adriana especially is super warm and friendly. Communication:5 stars. Dr. O'Toole is great at getting back to you. She always calls right when she gets test results back. When I write to her using the online portal either her or a member of her staff responds promptly. I've even had instances where Dr. O'Toole responds in the middle of the night during her on call shift at the hospital. I feel super at ease because any time I have a question or need a prescription I can just message her office. Dr. O'Toole: Honestly if I could give 100 stars here I would. Dr. O'Toole is one of the most amazing doctors that I have ever encountered. She is genuinely caring and nice. She is knowledgeable, takes her time with you, answers all of your questions and is intuitive. There were several times her front staff said her schedule was booked (which it was) when I needed to make important visits during the end of my pregnancy and Dr. O'Toole stepped in and told them to squeeze me in. Also there were times she has sensed stress or apprehension with me and did whatever she could to explain and keep me calm. She delivered both of my babies and honestly if I had any more kids I wouldn't choose anyone else. She was amazing from the beginning of my pregnancy to post partum. After my first baby I had post partum depression and Dr. O'Toole helped me through that. I can't thank her enough and will be eternally grateful. I completely trust her and her experience. read more

This was my first visit with Dr. O'Toole. I found out I was pregnant with my 3rd baby and after seeing the fantastic reviews for Dr. O'Toole, I decided to use her as my OB. Unfortunately, I ended up having a miscarriage before my 1st scheduled appointment but Dr. O'Toole and her nurse got me an appointment right away. When I arrived at the office, it was packed! The front desk staff seemed a little unorganized, but I wonder if that's because it was so busy. Anyway, my appointment was at 9:50 but I didn't get called back until about 10:20 or 10:30 which was frustrating since I had taken time off of work to come in. Maybe this was just an extra busy day (it was a Monday) but I was surprised at the wait. After meeting Dr. O'Toole though, I really feel she was worth the wait. As I said, I had a miscarriage and Dr. O'Toole was so kind, compassionate, and genuinely interested in how I was doing, both physically and emotionally. As soon as I get pregnant again, I will absolutely be using Dr. O'Toole as my OB. She even called me herself the day after I had blood work done to let me know the results and ask me how I was doing. I have NEVER had a doctor do that. Overall, I give Dr. O'Toole TEN stars! read more

Dr. O'Toole is amazing. She is so very nurturing and compassionate, and takes the time to listen to and answer all of your questions. I never felt like I was just another pregnant body with her, and I always felt like she took my concerns seriously. She even called me at my house once, after I had called the office in a panic about something that turned out to be nothing, which pregnant ladies are wont to do sometimes! read more

Dr. O'Tool was very friendly She also took time to listen to me. She asked questions. She was very professional. Made sure I was satisfied when I left. The office was efficient, spotless and comfortable. Really was impressed. read more

I'm going to make this short and sweet. I am so grateful that I found Dr. Otoole and her amazing staff. At 5 weeks my prior doctor told me I was going to miscarry as my sac was empty and baby was not present , at 6 weeks we saw a healthy little embryo and heartbeat. I knew then I'd switch doctors. I found OCWMG by recommendation from a facebook group, and did research on each doctor. I knew that Dr. Otoole was my pick! After I made the appointment at her office Dr. Otoole personally called me and asked for me to explain what had gone on. She was so attentive, and kind, understanding and positive. I thought i had literally hit the dr jackpot. When I went in for my first appointment, my experience was even better- she was so thorough, not rushed at all (like so many other doctors are), I didn't wait long to see her, she explained things to both myself and my other half and made sure he was included, he really appreciated that. Each time Dr. Otoole has information, she literally calls me THAT night, or during lunch. I truly appreciate that as a pregnant woman, as we can get a bit neurotic at times. She responds to my emails very quickly, and she is just seriously the best doctor I could have hoped for to lead me through this pregnancy. Thank you Dr. Otoole, you have gained a patient for life! read more

I can say with some experience that my 7 pregnancies and 5 deliveries over the past 15 years have been some of my happiest memories, and OCWMG is a very special part of that. Dr. O'toole absolutely has NEVER made me feel like a number. She has always taken the time to care about me and my babies, which may explain why it is that sometimes you need to wait longer than you like. I also had 2 miscarriages needing DNCs. Two doctors that were not mine needed to take time away from their patients to sit with me and explain what had happened and comfort me after the sudden loss of my 2nd trimester babies. I am sure their patients were waiting. Ladies sit in a waiting room and complain if their appointment is late, but have no idea there could be a woman who just found out she has cancer, or has lost her baby in the next room over. I adore OCWMG and believe that good things come to those who wait. Whether its a healthy baby in 9 months, or an appointment that seems to be taking forever. And if you are new, I WOULD RECOMMEND DR. MARY O'TOOLE!! Love her!! read more

terrible wait time 1.5 hrs after appointment is not seen. all about profit not patient care. elsewhere test come out negative here they come out positive and need to do biopsy and then they are allways negative. not happy they dont even have drinking water in the lobby. cheap and dont take amex. read more

Dr. O'Toole is the best doctor I have had in my entire life. I trust her implicitly. She is gentle, an outstanding listener and always calm no matter what is going on. She has gone the extra mile for me numerous times in caring for me before my pregnancies as well as through both complicated high risk pregnancies and now heading into menopause. She always responds to my emails personally and calls me personally with test results. Her attitude is positive and encouraging on every issue and concern. She has never pressured me into choosing a medication, procedure or direction. I hope we never move from the area because no one will be as wonderful to me as she has been. read more

Dr. O'Toole is an awesome OBGYN! She is incredibly caring, listens, and goes out of her way for her patients. I saw her when I'd been trying for over a year to get pregnant and wasn't ready to pursue the fertility treatments my fertility specialist was recommending, so she was going to work with me using oral fertility drugs first. However, I got pregnant before we got to try them, and she called me herself to congratulate me and tell me how happy she was for me. Unfortunately, I lost that pregnancy, and she wasn't in the office that day, but she called me the same day to check on me when she heard from the office what had happened. She was so wonderful and supportive, and I chose her to do my D&C as well. The procedure went smoothly, and she made me feel as comfortable as possible at an extremely difficult time. read more

My son was born on 11.10.15, the Doctor who delivered him was Doctor May, throughout my pregnancy I was so concerned with making sure my son was delivered by my Doctor (O'Toole) but when it came time to meet my son, Dr May (also from OCWMG) was awesome and it just really didn't matter, with all of the emotions running through and the anticipation of meeting your baby for the first time you just need a kind and knowledgeable Doctor and that's what I had. My son was delivery #10.388 for Dr May, and it was not a smooth birth but he made it look easy. Dr O'Toole did check on me daily while at Saddleback. All in all I am so glad I found OCWMG, all of the Doctors I met were great, and they really care about their patients. read more

I have had a good experience with Dr O'Toole.she was kind and caring. I had a stubborn polyp that caused me years of bleeding and I never knew it was the culprit! After surgery I felt so much better and Dr. was certain this was the cause of my problems. I have t has symptoms since surgery and so I am glad! She follows up with phone calls and goes that extra step which is nice. read more

She delivered two of my children and has been my OBGYN for over 21 years. Even though I moved away, I still drive an hour to see her. Not only is she a terrific physician, she genuinely cares about her patients as if they are family. read more

She is the best in town no doubt about that. Caring, compassionate and very able. Highly recommended.

5 star is understatement ... She deserves million star rating! First of all, she is an experienced doctor. Quite busy her office, she has a lot of patienst...what really surprised me was for a doctor who is so busy... she takes her time and spends as much as time is needed with you. She makes you feel you are her priority She has an amazing personality calm, patient and caring! She is class act OBGYN. You can tell she enjoys caring for people... That's very hard to find in doctors. Highly recommend her... Worth the long drive and wait! read more

Dr. O'Toole was my doctor during my pregnancy (had my baby in July 2016) and am VERY pleased. I plan on having her as my regular OBGYN and also for future pregnancies. She is very attentive, answers all my questions, patient, and kind. Sometimes the office wait could be around 30 minutes but she is well worth the wait. read more

Dr. O' Toole is the most caring doc, when I was pregnant with my second child I was placed on bed rest and she always wanted to meet in her office to talk about our options, I went into an appointment and she made me stay till I finished extra test she thought I needed, she made me feel like I was her daughter by caring so much about the baby. She takes the time to listen and when I was in labor she dropped everything to make it. At times she was the one calling me personally to see how I was doing during my bed rest. Also her nurse always calls back ... I love the San Clemente office much more since its not as packed and my appointments are fast. My husband has gone a couple of times with me and she always remembers him too. LOVE HER! She deserves more then 5 starts. ( I had to wait to have her become my OB, and now I know why ) read more

Dr. O'Toole is by far the best OBGYN doctor I have ever encountered. She is kind, understanding, and has the best "bed side manor". I was thrilled to have her as my doctor during my pregnancy. read more

I just came here after my OBGYN retired after many years. Dr. O'toole is very sweet, very grandmother-ish and puts you at ease (at least as much as she can considering the position you're in). Staff was friendly as well. Parking can be a little bit of a pain so plan ahead! read more

Always friendly, professional, kind, warm...can't say enough great things about this amazing person!

Dr. O'Toole has been my doctor since I was 15 years old. I have never been treated more kindly by any other doctor. She takes care of most of the women in my family and a lot of my friends as well. I was lucky enough to have her deliver my baby. She was kind and informative throughout my whole pregnancy. She has always made me feel comfortable and very cared for. I absolutely adore her. The office has recently been remodeled beautifully, it is very clean, and the staff is efficient and organized. I am very appreciative of Dr. O'Toole. read more

I have been seeing Dr. O'toole for 15 years. She delivered both of my children. She is the most professional, dedicated, kind and caring doctor I have ever met. I drive in from Murrieta to Laguna Hills to see her. I am often asked why don't I find someone closer, the answer is simple.....Dr.'s like her are very hard to find this day in age. She is truly one in a million! When I have had an issue she and her staff always reach out to me the same day. Yes, the office wait can be long sometimes but that is because she and her staff take their time with each and every patient. read more

Dr. O'Toole was my Gynochologist for 15 years until my insurance recently changed. She is by far the best doctor you will ever have. She is educated, professional, gentle and calm. I always knew I had the Rolls Royce of doctors, but really realized it when I was forced to find a new doctor. Her staff and front office personnel are just as kind and helpful as she is. If your insurance allows you to have her as your doctor, you are truly blessed. Definitely a 5doctor! read more
