They are kind, knowledgeable, and supportive, but the front office and administrative side has been consistently frustrating. The administrative staff is disorganized and unprofessional. They frequently mix up appointment times, give conflicting information, and make even simple tasks feel unnecessarily difficult. They don't use email or an online portal to send updates, test results, or appointment confirmations, which makes it almost impossible to keep track of anything. Everything has to be done by phone, and the communication is often curt or dismissive. Another major frustration is that any time I need bloodwork, I have to schedule a completely separate appointment with a third-party lab instead of being able to do it in-office. This makes routine prenatal care far more inconvenient than it needs to be. I really wanted to have a good experience here, especially since the clinical care from the midwives has been positive, but the front-office management has caused so much stress and confusion that I'm choosing to switch practices. I hope they improve their administrative processes and communication in the future.

    I had a great experience with Dr. Rashti, and I highly recommend him as an OB…read more When I was pregnant with my first, I was seeing a different OB and she was fine but she was constantly overbooked, I never got to have any say in the day or time since she always had zero openings, the appointments were approximately 3-5 minutes long, she didn't remember me or my name at all even when I'd been seeing her for many months. I didn't like that experience and actually met Dr. Rashti in the hospital while I was in labor for that pregnancy. I really loved his presence and personality, so when I got pregnant with my second I immediately knew I wanted Dr. Rashti to be my OB. I called his office and was able to get an appointment quickly and on a day and time that worked with my schedule, the appointments were longer and I was actually able to get questions answered, talk about what to expect, talk about our lives, and he really got to know us. We ended up with a C-section and he did such an amazing job. I haven't had any issues with pain at all, and the scar is virtually non-existent. He checked in with us multiple times afterwards to make sure healing was going well. Overall it was a great experience, worth every penny.

    I really hate to leave negative reviews, but my partner and I had a deeply frustrating experience…read morewith Dr. Allen and his office several months back. I would not want anyone in our situation to waste their time with him. After a nice initial consult and completing a mountain of testing (including genetics and an HSG at another facility), I was unable to get any information, discussion of results, or advice about next steps for treatment. I left many messages and voicemails. Once, when I asked for a follow up consultation with Dr. Allen I was told that it was "too soon" and that I should just call when I got my period (for what treatment? Unclear). The only call I ever received was from his nurse where I was prescribed a thyroid medication, even though my results were in the normal range. I later learned this protocol was based on old, disproven research. The medicine made me so sick and when I couldn't get Dr. Allen to discuss it with me, I just stopped taking it. In the end, we have had success with another fertility doctor in LA who has been responsive, communicative and shares our sense of urgency. Dr. Allen was none of those things.

    Big waste of our time. Took 3 months just to get an appointment scheduled, once we got our…read moreappointment set, they had us fill out a 24 page patient packet, just to to be blown off the day of our consultation zoom meeting. Tried calling their office multiple times that we hadn't received a link to the zoom meeting, that both me and my husband had taken time off of work for. Adding more stress to our situation and feeling completely let down. When finally speaking to Dr. Allen he told us he has meetings every hour. I told him he should not be taking on new patients if he can't make time for them.
