Great staff, and doctor Adrouny of course is amazing! They all make you feel comfortable for all Women's health check ups, obstetrics planning, monitoring, she's also extra cautious if somthing arises to make sure its somthing not serious. Meaning she's more thorough. To prevent any, escalated Women's health issue. You dont really see many docs taking the extra steps or precautions to look into things thorough. Which could make a patient feel more at ease. Cause she really does care and wants to best for everyone, instead of brushing it off and not doing anything at all. I highly recommend this place for any Women, & young ones into adulthood. A place that will make you feel safe. Thank you, to her office and team!! read more

Melissa Adrouny, MD - Bautiful sketched pic, of a Women, looking off, the horizon. Life, & all possibilities. Trusting in guidance, w/ trust, & surrender. - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Los Gatos, California

My first pregnancy was complicated and I needed some advice on family planning as I was thinking of having another baby. Since my primary Obgyn was not available, I made an appointment to see Dr.Adrouny earlier this year and specifically asked if I would be seeing the doctor. I was told yes. When I showed up (with my husband), I was seen only by the PA (not the doctor) and she was not experienced and unhelpful. She couldn't answer my questions and repeatedly kept saying "I'm not sure, I'll have to check/research." The entire appointment felt like a waste of time. This is unacceptable and it feels dishonest. I was misled, got no helpful information, and walked away with none of my concerns addressed. I will absolutely not be returning and do not recommend this practice to anyone looking for real, professional care. read more

I visited Melissa Adrouny MD Inc. about a year ago for a pap smear, abdominal and back pain, and to check hormone levels to see if I might be approaching menopause. When I booked the appointment, no one informed me that I would only be seeing a PA (Physician Assistant) instead of Dr. Adrouny herself. I only learned this after arriving. During the appointment, I was told we could proceed with another pap smear, even though I had one the previous year -- something I was not advised about in advance. The PA had vague answers to most of my questions and recommended further tests, including a biopsy, without giving clear explanations. When I asked to see the doctor first, I was told that was not possible at that time. After completing my pap smear and blood work, no one from the office followed up for months regarding my results. Despite multiple calls, I received no clear response. As my pain worsened, I requested an appointment directly with Dr. Adrouny, which took several attempts and a long wait. Dr. Adrouny later recommended an ultrasound and a biopsy for my pain and heavy bleeding. Again, there was no pre-procedure communication -- I wasn't even told to bring pain medication. On the day of the biopsy, I was surprised and unprepared, but went through with it. I was given seven shots for the procedure, which left me feeling weak and disoriented for two days. Based on those results, I was told I needed a polypectomy to remove uterine polyps. I asked whether that would help with my pain (my main concern), but was told they weren't sure -- it might only help with bleeding. After much hesitation, I eventually agreed to proceed with the procedure. I arranged time off work, my husband took time off to drive me, and I mentally prepared for it. However, halfway through the procedure, I was told it couldn't be completed there because of the size of the polyps -- it would need to be done in an operating room instead. I was left in pain, dazed from the medication, and no one checked on me afterward. The staff were laughing and chatting at the front desk as I left, which felt extremely unprofessional and insensitive. I experienced significant discomfort and bleeding for a week, and no one from the office ever called to check on me or apologize. Instead, I received a large bill for a procedure that was never completed and for issues that remain unresolved nearly a year later. Overall, my experience was deeply disappointing. The office appears disorganized, uncommunicative, and lacking in empathy. It felt more like a business focused on billing than a medical practice that genuinely cares for its patients. I would not recommend this office. read more

When I first made my new patient appt, o was told I needed to meet with the pa. Since then, I never had an appt with an actual doctor. Pa and And midwife only. I am not pregnant but I am a woman who sees the dr when I need to...and for My annual appointments. I've been having a persistent issue and finally got some relief from my new doctor. Right away the cause which I suspected but was told at this office was wrong. So I wouldn't go back here. Maybe the doctor is different but I never met her. The office staff does smile and is friendly but they didn't help my issue and it spent quite a bit of copay with them for no result. And even when I was misdiagnosed no one called me to tell me until I called and said what they prescribed didn't help. They then prescribed another med. The next call i made I was told their wasn't anything else that could be done. After they called me after a visit and told me I needed to come back because my 'sample was forgotten' I should have stopped coming here. Thankfully I have a new dr and she right away found the issue. She asked me if they even looked? I feel so Much better now- I knew something wasn't right. Hopefully they read this review and makes some changes. At least the staff won't be chit chatting as much. Is their a dr here? read more

She's the absolute best. I love that she offers group classes. Very intimate and informative. All staff members are lovely to work with and they're so sweet and supportive. I'm so so sad I couldn't continue my prenatal and delivery work with her because of a move to SoCal but I'd recommend her to all my Bay Area friends and anyone reading this looking for a OB! read more

Dr. Adrouny and Kara are the first people in the medical field who have compassionately listened to me when I say I'm in pain or something isn't working for my body. I have spent many years being dismissed by medical professionals when it comes to chronic pain. The office is fun and very professional. I love the front desk staff because they actually remember my face and are very friendly. I appreciate the personal touches around their office that speak to who the providers are beyond their practice. Kara is the provider I've seen the most so far. She is so gentle, kind and knowledgeable. Thank you! Can't wait to see how the new office transforms over the next few months. You all rock! read more

I'm back to leave yet another amazing review! Dr. Adrouny took AMAZING care of me during my ovarian cystectomy procedure. This was my first surgery, and I was a little nervous. The procedure was incredibly quick and the recovery was fairly easy as well. Dr. Adrouny called to check up on me prior to the weekend and provided me with a contact in case I needed anything while the office was closed. Her care was truly above and beyond throughout the entire process. She also suggested placing my IUD while I was under, which I didn't know was a possibility, and WOW what a luxury. Since the procedure, I feel like a completely different person. I no longer have random pain or discomfort and feel more confident with my body overall. I spent 7 years expressing my concerns and discomfort to other OB/GYNs and got no where. It took Kara and Dr. Adrouny less than 6 months to resolve issues I had for years. Finding this office and these amazing women has truly been a blessing. Thank you for all you do!! read more

I'm so glad I found Dr. Adrouny. My husband and I did not have an easy journey towards parenthood. We actually found Dr. Adrouny years ago when we first discovered we were expecting. Unfortunately, that ended in a miscarriage and we had subsequent early losses. Dr. Adrouny was extremely empathetic during our losses and struggles. She referred us to a fertility group which we pursued and aided in us finally having our rainbow baby. Of course, through that pregnancy I had some anxieties due to my previous losses but Dr. Adrouny and her staff were extremely superb. The staff are top notch. Super courteous and welcoming. Sr. Adrouny herself is extremely knowledgeable, warm and comforting. And I appreciate her willingness to reach out to other specialists for guidance. I had to meet an MFM through my pregnancy as well and she kept great contact with them. She kept me informed on the labor and delivery plan and once the time came was in continued contact with El Camino Hospital on my status. As I was not exactly ready during the planned induction date we had to do more to get me ready but she visited me beforehand to update me on the status and to just advise she was there for support. Then the day came and (though tiring) the whole delivery process was successful with no complications. As I noted, it was a long journey but now my husband and I have our happy rainbow baby and a lot of it is due to Dr. Adrouny. read more

I can't even fully express how much Dr.Adrouny and her team means to me. I have dealt with a lot medically and I needed to find an obgyn for what I was and have been going through. I found Dr.Adrouny about 3 years ago and I wouldn't choose to be under anyone else's care but her. If you need a doctor and team who is understanding, non-judgmental, respectful, reassuring, helpful, takes you seriously, and sincerely cares for you then go to her. When other doctors dismissed me, she stood by my side and continued to help. She referred me to a surgeon who specialized in a condition that she suspected I had. Now I not only have a doctor who I feel 100% safe with but I also have validation with my new diagnosis. Her entire team are efficient and kind. This may sound cheesy to say but they make you feel like family there and you can tell how every patient is important to them. I know my story isn't over but I feel blessed to have this team stand by my side supporting me the whole way. One of my favorite quotes from Dr.Adrouny was "I'm not going anywhere and you're not going anywhere. We will get through this together." Thank you! read more

I am such an anxious basketcase, exacerbated when I delivered my first baby, stillborn, at 22 weeks then 8 months later miscarried my second baby at 11 weeks. Right after that, my OB retired but she said that Dr. Adrouny would be a really good match for me and boy was she right! Dr. Adrouny understands my anxieties like no other doctor I've ever met. She knows that I need concrete help with it and isn't like many other doctors who minimize my anxieties and think that anxiety can be treated by just thinking positively. When I got pregnant with my third baby of course I was a ball of nerves, as all I had known was loss. Dr. Adrouny gently held me throughout the entire pregnancy and did everything she could to make it a little easier. She even let me do an early anatomy scan and sent me to the MFM for my NT scan as she knew the extra level of detail would help to reassure me. When I was admitted to the hospital at 34 weeks (until delivery), Dr. A took special care and time to stop by my hospital room just to chat and keep me company because she knew how anxious and scared I was. She was so reassuring and caring. The pregnancy was sketchy but I felt cared for and held by her throughout the whole thing. When it came time to deliver him and he was still only 3 lbs, Dr. Adrouny was calm and confident which made me feel less scared. She helped me decide how exactly I wanted him delivered and she was right there reassuring me the whole time. I finally have my healthy double rainbow baby thanks to Dr. Adrouny! She was responsive and compassionate and empathetic throughout my entire nerve wracking journey. I'm now suffering from pretty severe postpartum anxiety, with a few major panic attack episodes when I genuinely thought I was having a heart attack -- no surprise there -- and she is helping me through that too. Dr. Adrouny is now a dear, cherished friend and I hope she will be my OB and friend forever. She is the most amazing person and care provider. I truly love her. read more

Dr Adrouny is a wonderful, caring, and trustworthy Dr! I transferred over to her during my 2nd trimester because my prior Dr wasn't delivering anymore. She made me feel super comfortable from the get go. My first appointment was more of a meet & greet, where she took the time to get to know my husband and myself + what our expectations were for delivery. During each appointment the staff was upbeat and friendly, and there was a sheet of paper in the appointment room detailing what to expect during that visit. I found that super helpful as a planner who likes to know what's going on at all times during labor she was available via text to guide the process if I had questions. And during delivery, she was super quick, efficient, and got my son out safely. I'm so grateful to have had a great first pregnancy, labor and delivery thanks to Dr. Adrouny! read more

Dr. Adrouney is an angel sent from the heavens above! Early in my pregnancy, I was diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum, causing me throw up 30-40 times a day. Missing work, ending up in the ER and weekly IV. I didn't know if baby and I were going to make it, I was always dehydrated, tired and stressed. Other doctors pass off HG as normal morning sickness. Then I switched Doctors and came to Dr A. She quickly assessed me, conducted blood tests, ultrasounds to make sure the baby was ok, and prescribed me anti nausea medication. I was finally able to work again and enjoy my pregnancy! She holds monthly mommy classes, brings in experts in the field, (pelvic floor therapy, anesthesia, pediatrics etc) She held my hand the entire journey and I truly believe god was looking out for us, because of her help. I am forever appreciative of her for helping me when I needed her the most. After birth, the complications continued, that's when I was introduced to Melissa Mancini, she is just as amazing! She makes me feel so comfortable, she is that friend that reminds you... everything is going to be ok. She brings a wealth of knowledge, she is a certified lactation consultant and also a mom. Her level of empathy and care is superb. I feel so lucky to have the best care possible. She genuinely cares and I love that about her. The staff is also amazing! Jadeane is a rock star beyond words! A beautiful soul of a woman and a friend. She helped me with all my maternity leave paperwork and made everything so easy. When I needed her I could call her and she always made herself available. THANK YOU isn't enough, love and blessings to these amazing professionals!!!! read more

This is long overdue. After a horrible experience of a previous OB telling me she wouldn't remove an IUD because "I wasn't married" I had to find someone who listened, I read some reviews and turns Dr. Adrouny was that exact person. Not only did she remove it without any questions, she went on to provide the best care for me during my first pregnancy. She always takes her time with me to explain all the options and what different test results mean and provides such a safe environment. She brought our baby safe into the world with minimal intervention and I'm so glad we built the trust in the appointments. Although we have moved away, I have always been able to reach out to her for advice on choosing another OBGYN and any other questions I've had. As far as I know, I'll always be a patient of hers, which is a very special thing. And this review wouldn't be complete without a shoutout to THE BEST office staff. Everyone was so sweet and when I called back a couple weeks ago to request medical records, they asked about my toddler by name (even 18 months later)! If you've ever had a trust issue, or are uncomfortable when you have an OBGYN visit, or don't know where to start on your journey - I promise you choosing Dr. Adrouny will be the Best decision you could make. read more

Called and left messages 4 times never got a call back. Probably not accepting new patients.

Very unprofessional place. Extremely disappointed with every single time I came here. I am surprised there are such good reviews. My old gyno (Elanor Martinez) retired and she referred me here. I do not recommend this place at all, and here is why: 1st appointment: I was under the impression that Melissa Adrouny was going to meet with me. She did not. It was one of her nurses that did my pap and met with me. I was so upset and on top of that she was 40 minutes late. She ordered me some tests and some of them came back abnormal. I called the front desk mentioning it since the doctor did not call me back and the front desk said I could not speak to the doctor. 5 months later I get a call from the nurse saying my bloodwork came back abnormal? Okay? I called you guys to tell you that 5 months ago and you turned me down. 2nd appointment: follow up for bad blood work.. I spoke to melissa adrouny herself and she decided to send me to MRI, and told me to get off of my birth control pills. I have been on these pills for 5 years and I forgot I get extremely suicidal and crazy when I am not on the pills. I spoke to my General Practitioner regarding this and told me that my bloodwork isn't something to be concerned about. I decided to follow melissas advice since she is the specialist and I wish I did not. She also prescribed me vailum that was not strong enough for my MRI. i had extreme anxiety and was very uncomfortable. 3rd appointment: everything came back okay. But now I am suffering re-starting my birth control pills. It is absolute hell going through them again. This doctor has no clue what she is talking about. On top of all this non-sense, they kept rescheduling my appointments without letting me know. Very unprofessional and unorganized. Do not come here. Waste of money and time. Go somewhere else. read more

After a rough experience with my last OB/pregnancy, Dr. Adrounys office was a breath of fresh air. Not only are they dedicated to women's health, they go above and beyond to provide classes for pregnant and new moms. These classes are safe spaces to ask questions and have a sense of community with other moms. The front staff is amazing, they are extremely kind and very accommodating. They would schedule my sisters and I appointments on the same day and time since we both recently had babies. A special mention to the midwife, who is also named Melissa, who helped me through my postpartum journey. She is an awesome advocate and teacher for new moms, she would throughly answer all my questions and check in on me. Overall 5/5 is an understatement, I wish every doctors office would be as amazing as Dr. Adrounys! read more

Love love love Dr. Adrouny and her staff! I decided to go to her after finding out I was unexpectedly pregnant again. She delivered my third kid via repeat c-section at El Camino Hospital, and this was by far my smoothest delivery, even though I was so nervous (I am somebody who's scared of needles, so let alone major surgery while being awake ;) Dr. Adrouny is extremely skilled at her job and I trust her judgment 100%. On top of that, she is compassionate, listens to your concerns, answers all questions and truly cares about her patients. This is reflected in her staff who are all super nice. I hope to always have her as my OBGYN. - Amandine read more

I visited Dr Adrouny's clinic yesterday and was very much impressed by her professionalism and caring personality and debt of knowledge. She was so nice that I had a hard time leaving her office. I highly recommend her and her clinic. All office staff are nice and caring and supportive. Mojgon read more

Dr. Adrouny missed a huge issue with my wife's pregnancy during the first trimester and we just found out that it could have been prevented. Unfortunately our daughter was born with the virus due to her lack of care and professionalism. This has already led to microcephaly and could lead to developmental issues, hearing loss, and vision loss. Dr. Adrouny is careless and hates to be challenged by her patients when ultimately they are the ones who suffer from her mistakes and errors. I can't say it enough, she is more focused about social media and buying awards than taking care of her patients. She is negligent and patients should be aware of it! read more

"For every woman out there with a 'strong personality' who has been held to impossible standards of being confident but not arrogant, persistent but not obnoxious, approachable but not a pushover, sensitive but not emotional, forthright but not a b**ch, I see you and hear you." #b**tches get sh*t done..."- Adrouny (Instagram) "People will tell you to be assertive, but when you speak up for yourself with them, it will create a problem." - Nedra Glover Tawwab I had severe symptoms outside of what's normal during pregnancy. Once initial tests came back she gave up and said "your tests are normal, there is nothing wrong". A specialists that I found on my own for the symptoms constantly asked me why my OB was not more involved and seeing me more often. He asked me to contact her after our appt because he needed guidance to determine next steps and agreed seeing an MFM would help. So I did and that's where everything went downhill fast. I had put in a request for an MFM referral the day I found out I was pregnant. It was something that was important to me given my journey to get pregnant. Cynthia told me she would put it in the referral. She didn't. She told me she never submitted it but because I just had my first OB appt she should not have a problem submitting it now. This following up and asking for the referral continued over and over again into my second trimester and each time the answer was "oh we haven't submitted it yet." There was always one excuse after another. So back to that call while driving home from the specialist. Adrouny's medical assistant answered the phone and had zero empathy. She told me I could wait again. I asked her if it could be please be prioritized given how long I've waited and because I needed it to get care. She responded that Adrouny is busy and has a lot of patients. A horrible response by her that doesn't show empathy, doesn't take accountability for the lack of follow through and implies that it doesn't matter how long I have to wait. I told her that was unacceptable, that everyone is busy, even I am at my own job but I don't just not do something that needs to get done. Adrouny was supposed to do this months ago. Sometimes we have to work later to get something done and it's not like I just asked for the referral. Next thing I know I get a call from Elisha stating that the office said I threatened them. Absolutely untrue. Advocating for myself isn't a threat. Saying it's not acceptable to wait months is not a threat. Telling them my referral should be prioritized given how long I've been asking is not a threat. So back to Adrouny's quote. I was persistent but according to her obnoxious. Although I would say asking 5-6 times in a span of months is NOT obnoxious. I've spoken to other providers and clinics to gauge their thoughts on how often patients "can" follow up (quotes because this shouldn't be a "can" situation in the first place). They said they have patients follow up on a request multiple times a day and they deem that as acceptable. Adrouny sent me a message telling me to stop following up on the referral because it wasn't going to impact it getting done. She then called me and lectured me telling me my behavior was unacceptable. That she found it offensive that we wanted to speak to an MFM. What behavior? Asking for something I deserve? Advocating for myself? She even went on to tell me the MFM's office complained about me (I called to see if they had received the referral a few times each time Adrouny's office claimed they sent it. Each time they said they hadn't received it and felt bad that Adrouny's office was making things difficult). I asked that MFM's office directly and they said Adrouny lied. That they never said such a thing and felt horrible and were actually offended that she would lie about them. My MFM (after switching OBs) was in that office and I never once had a single problem with them. Doctors gossiping about patients is unethical and cringe worthy. Adrouny in her quote is telling women to speak up and be assertive. But as Tawwab mentions, people have a problem with that when you're assertive with them. Adrouny's words and actions are not congruent. Adrouny's actions caused me a significant amount of distress from nightmares to creating barriers to receiving the care I deserve all to protect a bad hire of hers and to protect her ego. She even admitted to me that she paid for her "top doctor" award. When I went to pick up my medical records as I was switching OBs that medical assistant looked at me and rolled her eyes. Then her most recent hire, looked at me and did the same. Very unprofessional. The only one with the offensive behavior here is Adrouny. It's offensive that they never apologized for their wrongdoings. It's offensive that they kept failing to follow through with the referral request. Its offensive that they put down women who advocate for their health. It's offensive that she gossips and spreads lies about her patients. read more

Dr. A being an independent practice doctor, I was hoping to receive more compassionate care compared to big hospitals, turns out all she says on Instagram is just for the show. Breaking down my experience per phase: Perinatal: I had a precondition which needed to be monitored during pregnancy on a regular basis. I had to request for ordering tests each time. There would be no responses to the results and disease of medicine I had to take. Agree with other reviews on appointments being rushed. Husband and I would wait at least 30mins at each of our appointments, only to be seen for hardly 2 mins. As a first time expectant mother, I would go with a list of questions but would be rushed by a doctor who wouldn't even have the time sit by the bed. She would be at the door and brushing everything off. L&D: I had a long labor that required intervention. There was a lot of chaos between the dose of medicine the Dr ordered v/s what the nurses had to follow based on hospital protocol. Dr kept pushing the nurses to go against the rules, despite it affecting my LO's heart rate. She checked in with me once in the morning. I was in the last stage for 4-5hours, waiting for Dr A to step in to my room any minute. Turns out the last hour before she appeared, she was doing an Instagram Live which she couldn't miss (priorities!!). When she finally came, she spent hardly 10mins to take every shortcut there was to get my baby out, despite it being against my birth plan. Postpartum: she was unavailable the first two weeks as it was around the holidays. Had to see my physician and an Urgent Care Ob who said Dr A misdiagnosed the degree of tear. Again, agree with the other reviews saying how hard it is to get hold of her for post partum visits. She doesn't prioritize pp appointments especially if there are complications. Clearly a happy path doctor. When I got to finally see her oo after repeated calls, i was told to live with the pain for 6more months and take pain killers if it's not tolerable. There are doctors out there who genuinely want the best for you, Dr. Adrouny is definitely not one of them. She's now so desperate that she's resorting to writing fake reviews here and on google. read more

Dr. Adrouny reached out to me and explained that the billing issue was due to changing to a new EMR system which has been pretty complicated for them. I decided to update their rating to 4 stars because 1. I really appreciate when the practice/business acknowledges that there was an issue with a patient and they had a bad experience and offers to rectify it. 2. I do think that Dr. Adrouny was an amazing OB till time I was seeing her. I do recommend her as a doctor but definitely double check your dues at the front desk. read more

I came to Dr. Adrouny at 16 weeks pregnant after having an unpleasant experience with my previous ob/gyn and her team. My first interaction was with her staff and they were exceptional - very understanding and warm and very efficient. I was given an appointment in the next 2 days to see Dr. Adrouny. She was very understanding and welcoming from the very beginning. All my visits with her were smooth, the wait time is hardly anything. Dr. Adrouny takes the time to listen to your concerns and explains anything you would want to know. She has a very assuring and calming way about her that puts you right at ease. I delivered my baby at El Camino hospital, Los Gatos and Dr. Adrouny was with me at every step of the way. She was constantly in touch with me via text when my labor started and when it was time for me to go to the hospital, she called ahead to let the hospital staff know. I had a natural birth under her able guidance and my postpartum recovery was very smooth. I can't recommend Dr. Adrouny enough! She is a great doctor and her staff is a pleasure to interact with. read more

Dr. Adrouny and her staff are truly amazing. Words can't express how grateful my husband and I are to her and her team. Their kindness and patience with us through our challenging journey to becoming parents really means a lot. Our hearts are so full with our little bundle of joy each and everyday. Thank you, Dr. Adrouny for helping to get him safe in our arms. read more

I would rate Dr. Adrouny but I never met her. I've only met her nurse practitioner. If you need assistance with your pregnancy, this seems like a good place. But if you need a regular gynecologist, I would look elsewhere. The staff is very nice. But that's about it. When I initially came in early 2020 complaining about my periods getting longer and heavier, they said they'd monitor it just like my previous OBGYN at Kaiser (also do no recommend Kaiser). I was always taught to trust my doctors (even though I never met this one), so I obliged. Later that year, my period got so bad I went to urgent care. They wanted to make sure nothing bad was happening, so they sent me to the ER. Did a trans-vaginal ultrasound where they found a cyst on my left ovary. They said follow up with my OBGYN but nothing screamed alarming to them at the time. Came back here shortly after that. NP asked how I was and suggested they didn't need to do another ultrasound since the ER didn't find anything. Again, my naivety got the best of me and I agreed. Needless to say I didn't come back here since it seemed like they didn't want to make an effort to find why I was bleeding so excessively. I found a much better OGBYN in Fremont (Scott Kramer, you are my hero) who made an effort to find out what was wrong because I was clearly not happy. In that time I was bleeding non-stop every day with clots the size of my palm. I developed a DVT in my right leg, needed 3 blood transfusions, and 3 iron infusions. Dr. Kramer finally did a D&C once my blood levels were back up to find my issue. I had endometrial cancer. By the time he found it, it was already stage 3. I was 34 years old when I got diagnosed. I didn't have the typical warning signs to look out for. Mine was due to Lynch Syndrome. For all the ladies reading this, please be an advocate for your own health. If the doctor (if you ever meet her) or the NP are hesitant to do any testing for you, find someone else. I'm so disappointed the people here didn't make enough of an effort to figure out what was wrong. Might have been able to catch my cancer at an earlier stage... read more

I'm somewhat new to the area and have been trying to find a good Obgyn. I've seen this practice recommended multiple places so thought it must be the best. I was on the wait list for awhile and finally got in with the NP. The office itself feels a bit more like a house than a medical facility. A few things happened during my visit that feel unforgivable: 1. Someone opened the door to the exam room WHILE MY LEGS WERE IN THE STIRUPS directly across from me. WHY would anyone ever open a door in an OBGYN office without knocking first?! 2. The NP walked out of the room and loudly told the front desk staff about a referral I needed and the reasons why I needed it. I walked out after getting dressed and saw people sitting right there waiting who clearly heard her and knew it was about me. It wasn't embarrassing information but definitely didn't feel like my privacy was respected. 3. I went to the bathroom on my way out and there were other patients' urine samples sitting out on the counter. 4. I went for said referral and they sent my results to the doctors office but no one ever contacted me. I called weeks later and the person who answered wouldn't give me my results. I had to wait until the following day. They were basically non-results (everything was totally fine) so I'm unsure why that couldn't be shared with me when I called. This was all a huge disappointment. The whole experience left me feeling like patients' privacy and protection of health information is not a top priority. read more

I feel very fortunate to have found Dr. Adrouny and hope that every person gets to experience this type of care! I'm convinced you won't find a more exceptional doctor. I've never felt more taken care of or safe than I did with my 3rd baby under Dr. Adrouny's care, despite a couple scares. Dr. Adrouny is completely dedicated to supporting her patients medically (seriously, this can't be understated), and more generally in their wellness across facets of their lives. The care is truly unparalleled, and I'm so glad to have the extremely knowledgeable Dr. Adrouny as my provider. To top it off, Dr. Adrouny is engaged in all sorts of service in the medical industry, providing talks to translate medical knowledge to non-medical and medical communities. It's truly a wonder how any one could manage to take the very best care of so many patients while also engaging in service and being dedicated to continuing education. In fact, I'm fairly sure she's Dr. Superwoman. She also has an awesome and compassionate front office administrative assistant and nursing/medical assistant team who should be bragged about in their own review! Each one of them went above and beyond to create a supportive experience while dealing with some of the many headaches the prenatal time can bring (ughhh can you say trying to get your insurance to cover the pump they are supposed to? Or suggesting manual BP readings when they see the machine ones are stressing you out?). read more

Me and my wife went to Dr. Adrouny from start of her pregnancy. While we both had our hesitations initially as we could not connect naturally in our conversations, we decided to commit to her till the end. On many occasions initially we had many questions and concerns and she would just give a cold answer. We both thought it was just an initial glitch that would sort out with further visits, but that never came. She was always late to see us, in a rush all the time to wrap up our conversation with short answers. We really believed she was busy and even felt like we should contact her only when absolutely necessary. In our entire time of pregnancy, we contacted her off hours only when my wife was in labor. So here is the story: We contact her on a Saturday night when my wife was already hours in labour pain but not frequent enough to get admitted. We got no response from her to call or messages until the next morning. During that time, we just followed advise from other experienced moms who were friends, timed the contractions and went to hospital. I was pretty upset with Dr. Adrouny all the time seeing my wife in pain, with no word from the doctor that we have been visiting for so many months. I even messaged the doctor about updates from my end, but her responses were very late. We got admitted, she said she would come see us the next day (which was a Sunday) but never showed up. Thankfully, the delivery went fine and we had a healthy baby and mom. The doctor came on a short visit to see us on Monday in the maternity ward and told us she could not make it and was sorry. We both strongly felt she did not mean it as she did barely glanced at the baby. We were not in a position to think much about it but were somewhat glad she was kind enough to come see us. I made sure to let her know that the doctor who oversaw the delivery did a very good job. Now, here is the shocker. We went to visit her post delivery and her true nature showed up pretty clear. The doctor did not check my wife properly, and the worst part was she did not even look at the baby. At this point, all the suspicions that I had in the back of my mind became clear. My wife and myself didn't bother to book the follow up appointment, thanked the staff for their help and decided to never look back at her clinic again. Btw, we felt the staff were really awesome in there and were just sad about this whole situation! From my experience, I can tell when I am treated differently. And I am sure that she is treating some patients differently, but I really cannot figure out exactly if its because of race, skin color or whatever. This behavior of hers is subtle but it does show during the interactions. This review is to help anyone remove doubts if you are on the receiving end of such treatment. If you happen to visit her, please keep in mind that if you feel even a bit of unfair/racist treatment, please do not make the mistake of giving her the benefit of doubt. There are plenty of other gyn/ob available in the area who are empathetic and would truly care about you. It is just sad when highly qualified people like doctors behave this way, but when they do please step away. We are going to a different doctor now and regret not making this decision way earlier. read more

With my first pregnancy I was at a different clinic and I felt everything was rushed including the delivery day - they broke my water bag and gave me pitocin to increase my contraction and ultimately led to my C-Section. I am so happy I found Dr. Adrouny through many great reviews! When she talks to you, you will notice that she is very calm and compassionate. She listens and knows exactly what you want to accomplish. On D-day, my labor was a very long one since nothing was forced on me to speed up the process and I had a very successful VBAC on epidural!! Throughout our prenanal visits, Dr. Adrouny had always assured me that I was a good candidate for VBAC when I was still dramatized by my first experience. I love her staff as well, they are all very inviting and friendly. Thank you Dr. Adrouny and her great team! read more

Dr. Adrouny is amazing, I don't have one negative thing to say about her. However, her staff needs some work on their follow-up skills. I don't know how many times they have forgotten to call me back. One time I think I waited a good week for an email response. That's unacceptable. read more

I was so nervous as I dumped my previous OBGYN and transferred mid pregnancy! Dr Adrouny is so personable and went out of her way to make me feel comfortable. I had concerns about the baby and she went above and beyond to make sure I understood everything. I never once felt rushed or like she was just rushing to get to the next patient (which I have felt with other doctors). The office is clearly a tight knit group as her staff was friendly and welcoming and seemed to communicate well with each other. When I had to cancel a few appointments they worked with my schedule to squeeze me in. I'm shocked to read reviews talking about cleanliness as the office seemed fresh and bright and my room was perfectly clean. I've never had a long wait, and as I said I've still never felt rushed. Her bedside manner clearly puts patients first. If you're having a baby, I can not recommend Dr. Adrouny enough. read more

I switched to dr. Adrouny after a negative experience I had at another doctor's office. She was so understanding and performed a necessary procedure in a compassionate way. Fast forward to my husband and I trying to get pregnant, I was really eager to start trying more drastic measures, but she recommended to wait and just relax and little. The first month we did that, we got pregnant! She delivered our now 3 month old baby, so she's been there through the entire process. She's warm, personable, and easy to talk to. There are a few of us patients who formed a mom's group after meeting at the event she hosted (bagels & boobs - lactation class). Her staff is great, too. read more

The least she could have done for me is to reefer to the right specialists. She just got offended by my frequent complaints and visits and denied the existence of an infection that now requires a surgery. I don't know if she botched up my episiotomy or not, but when I complained of my unusual symptoms, early post partum, she denied the reports and made me feel it was all in my head. I then went around looking for specialists who could see me. I had to go to an ER first, then a wound care clinic, then a surgeon, then another Ob(only after several weeks because all Obs believed I was my delivering Ob's responsibility and she had to restitch me up, except of course Dr. A) Securing every appointment post partum was a huge pain. As a new mother who should've focused on my healing and baby, my husband and I were out calling their office, asking for appointments, only to be reminded that she's very busy or that she's out that week. They even chose to cancel my 6w post partum visit which I had to call back and wait two more weeks to be scheduled. When I needed a follow up, Dr. A came into the room laughing that I was seeing too many doctors. Her exact statement- "oh honey, you've too many cooks in the kitchen, I'm sorry I can't help you. Whatever you're going through- is beyond me" I went to her with an actual problem and she yet again denied my issue as non existent. Reality is- she doesn't have enough experience 1. practicing what she preaches on Instagram- she chose every shortcut to get my baby out during delivery even though I had asked her not to. Total time she spent in my room- 5mins before birth, 5mins post birth. 2. dealing with post partum complications. She could have used my case as a learning opportunity instead she chose to ignore and mask it off as non existent. I finally saw another Ob who not only diagnosed what I had with just my verbal explanation, but also addressed it in the same appointment that Dr. A couldn't figure out despite being my delivering Ob. New Ob was surprised to see no after visit summary notes for my post partum visit which is crucial for any after care. Anyway, Finally, months after delivering my LO, I got relief from something that bothered me constantly every single day! She sure has been an incompetent Ob in my case. But I can't say for sure if it's truly her incompetence or if she let her ego come in the way. I think she treated me the way she did because I questioned her regarding my recovery which wasn't a smooth sail. I think she took it personally and got offended at my first visit and hence continued being defensive costing me 12 visits with other providers and insurance hassle while also taking care of a newborn. Her office is a comedy show. None of my after visit summaries were true- I would see notes about Dr. A discussing certain things with me, but in reality, she would only spend 2-3mins and wouldn't have discussed what was mentioned in the notes. Maybe she had to lie in the notes for my insurance? The most horrifying visit was when she inspected me at one of the post partum visits without a lubricant From my experience with her, she only depicts to be caring and going for natural way of laboring on Instagram, when I'm actuality, chooses every short cut there is to get done with a patient. She posts as though she sees human element in a patient, in my case, I wasn't even given the basic treatment I deserved. She has had issues with hospital management. No wonder she had to cut ties with El camino hospital. She's a bully and plays around with hospital rules (kept forcing the nurses to increase pitocin for me despite my LO's heartbeat being in distress). Through my labor, there was confusion as to whether to increase pitocin or not and it was all rushed. I regret continuing to see her despite getting negative vibes from her during perinatal visits. I wish I believed the negative reviews here, especially the ones that said, she might not be treating all races equally. Lesson learnt the hard way . I hope this review helps someone decide whether to see her or not. This is an objectively written one after giving it enough thought for over months so as to not let my traumatic phase bias this review. I may have been just a patient to Dr. A, but she's the one who could've made my pp journey better by simply acknowledging my complications and referring me to the right providers, but chose not to because she was more bothered about "proving herself right" She's a "good" doctor if you're an "yes doctor" patient who can keep her on her high pedestal. Else she forgets that you're the one paying for her service and bosses u over every step of the way. My heart goes out to the women who received such pathetic care from her and chose to remain silent. It's appalling to read other negative reviews here for her which make me wonder how doctors in this developed country get to get away with such non empathetic and un professional behavior. read more

Very nice practice. I was seeing Dr.Adrouny through my whole pregnancy and is very happy. Perfect doctor if you are looking for professional advise without any pressure. I felt like I my opinion on medical care counts. Very good doctor that is treating patients like unique people and not just complete regular protocols without regard to each unique case. read more

I was searching for a good gynec when i found out i was pregnant.Its my first pregnancy so i had lot of questions and doubts. I consulted with Dr.Adrouny but she seemed to be busy in each and every appointment. She is never on time and made me wait also she did not have time to hear my questions/doubts. She could not assist me on delivery which is understandable but post delivery visit with her was horrible..she did not even check me ..one of the nurses did and she did not care to look at my baby even.Her staff were quite good though, Hope she treats people with different race equally. read more

Doctor Adrouny is the most amazing doctor I've ever met. I am so lucky to go through my first pregnancy with her. No words can describe how much I thank her for her support medically and emotionally. There are several aspects that make my experience wonderful. During my pregnancy, she is very punctual. I never have to wait for my appointment. As I was working while pregnant, you know how important time was to me. Her staff are very nice and friendly. I had gestational diabetes. Doctor Adrouny made me feel so comfortable about it. She didn't stress too much about how dangerous it can be. But she also stressed it enough that she made sure that everything was going great with my baby and I, NST every week and possible induction at week 39. During my delivery, she texted me every couple of hours to check up on me. She called me before I went to the hospital. And she was there for the whole 2.5 hours when I was pushing. She gave me verbal and physical support when I was pushing. She is very strong. My husband said the baby's head was just crowning that doctor Adrouny just pulled the baby out. You should know how relieved I was as I was pushing for 2.5 hours. She fixed me right up and my recovery was amazing. I went to yoga classes comfortably after 4 weeks. :) I've already referred a couple of friends to Doctor Adrouny and I've already decided to come to her again if I am pregnant again. I hope she didn't get too busy!! In summary, I really can't emphasize enough how thankful I am to find her when I first got pregnant and to be able to go through this pregnancy with her. read more

When I was pregnant with our twins we had just moved back to the Bay Area from out of state. I was in a rush looking for a new OB that could take care of my pregnancy and deliver our babies. I interviewed a couple Doctors and choose Dr. Melissa because I could tell he really cared for her patients and was a kind person. Like most new parents expecting twins I was so nervous about their delivery. Dr. Melissa was so patient and caring and always available to answer my concerns. I can honestly say Dr. Melissa became my super hero. We decided I needed a c- section. the day of my surgery Dr. Melissa was a super star. I just remember seeing her be in her element as she operated on me to bring to this world my beautiful twin boys. She was sooooo professional did her job so amazingly well. I had zero complications, my babies arrived healthy and safely what more could a girl ask for. I feel so blessed to have met her and I will be forever grateful. Before this surgery I had 2 elective cosmetic surgeries both times I was left w really bad scars. This c- section I was so afraid to be cut open and feel ugly afterwards bc of the scar but let me tell you this young Dr. did such a Mind blowing amazing job on my c section!!! Her cut and stitching was done so carefully that I literally have zero scar!! Yes that's right I never imagined this was even possible!! She is the most skilled surgeon I have yet to meet. Ladies if you are looking for a caring loving personable OBGYN look no further she will take good care of you and if you end up needing a c- section she will cut the incision w so much skill and care that you will thank her for ever! Her team is amazing Cassandra and Emily are so genuinely kind and awesome which make our patient experience a 10! read more

Dr. Adrouny has been the best decision we have ever made, hands down. Researching a good OBGYN's is always scary because you want to make sure you get someone who cares for your wife and unborn child and is available for questions and advice whenever you need them. As first-time parents, we can say wholeheartedly that Dr. Adrouny not only met my expectations but excelled tremendously and made our family more at ease. Whether it was 3 pm or 3 am, Dr. Adrouny would always text back. This is crucial for first-time parents and we never felt abandoned or uncared for. She doesn't just treat the pregnancy, she treats the person, which reflects in her care and professionalism. We will be recommending Dr. Adrouny to ALL of our friends and family and her love for what she does is unmatched. Thank you Dr. Adrouny! read more

This review is a long time coming. Melissa Adrouny and her staff are incredible. I have had all 3 of my children with Dr. Adrouny, from 2020-2023, and can attest that she is incredibly personable and I felt truly confident and loved in her care. I experienced many things throughout my pregnancies, including IVF, miscarriage, pre-term labor and a breach baby, and in every instance Dr. Adrouny made sure I was well versed in my options and provided excellent care. Thank you Dr. Adrouny for all my babies and for helping me and my husband build our family!! For my last child, we got to also work with Melissa Mancini, a midwife who was so amazing!! She was so patient during our office visits, answering all questions and I felt genuinely supported by her during her care. Final special shout out the entire rest of the staff - for welcoming us in every visit and making us feel like family. We love you! read more
