Dr. Madhavan was extremely supportive and straightforward. I had a wonderful experience with her. I love her straightforward approach. She is a fantastic practitioner. She came to see me after an emergency c section I had prior to my scheduled date. ( it was done by her colleague had to do it in the middle of the night). She still called me and came to see me after. She was concerned and supportive towards me with empathy throughout my entire pregnancy. I highly recommend.

I do not recommend this clinic from my experience as a patient…read more Poor assessment & clinical management. Waisted time & money going to Lamorinda Gynecology & surgery. Dr. Christianson's first question was if i live in Lamorinda. As a Nurse, I asked how her surgical approach for endometriosis surgery. Her answer was a bit questionable to me being in the field and after research & second opinion at UCSF. That is not the best option I will go for. My endometriosis has improved by 80% with UCSF non surgical recommendation. You only have one set of reproductive organs. The bay area has the best endometriosis doctors in the nation. There are other established programs (Stanford, kaiser, south). It was a mistake to go here because it was close to home.

I highly recommend Dr. Cheruba Prabakar…read more Over the last two years, she has helped me navigate everything from future fertility decisions after having three children, to breast cancer risk given my family history, to now exploring hormone replacement therapy and all of the nuances that come with it. What I appreciate most is that she takes the time to look at the whole picture. When needed, she's connected me with other specialists and helped me build the right team so I could make informed decisions with confidence. I've sought information through various third-party women's health companies, but none have come close to the depth, thoughtfulness, and individualized care that Dr. Prabakar provides. I'm learning that HRT is rarely straightforward, and what will set her apart is how carefully she reviews my history, symptoms, and bloodwork before making recommendations. Her bedside manner is warm, knowledgeable, thorough, and never makes me feel rushed. As a physician affiliated with Northwell Health, she brings a level of expertise and professionalism that has given me tremendous confidence in her guidance. Private care is certainly an investment and a luxury for most, but I genuinely believe Dr. Prabakar saves her patients significant time, confusion, and heartache by helping them make thoughtful decisions from the beginning. I leave every appointment feeling informed, supported, and confident in my next steps. I feel incredibly fortunate to have her in my corner.

She has always been honest and forthcoming about the situation; appointments are easy to book on the Sutter Health website. Ultimately I am grateful she made a bad situation less horrible. Recently I heard of friends & acquaintances having ruptured tubes, major hemorrhages & pain due to doctors (cough Kaiser) not acting on women's health quickly enough to catch the situation before it becomes a very painful one. I received two failed doses of methotrexate at Alta Bates ER, then Dr. Venkat scheduled same-day surgery at Alta Bates. She did the laparoscopic surgery. I lost a Fallopian tube and healed quickly, am back on my feet and thankful for her Dr. Venkat's treatment of my ectopic pregnancy. Minimal pain, easy to schedule, easy to work with.

Even after confronting her with information she had her assistant write me some excuse of how the results were correct. Still to this day her diagnosis is still wrong. If, you are an African American woman or woman of color of elsewhere. She's very dismissive to certain races. Dismissive meaning she doesn't give correct information, she had incorrect test results and your concerns will not be addressed. She shows a great lack in interest in your health and well being. I will post emails later.

I came in to Sutter East Bay Obstetrics with complaints about vulvodynia at the beginning of my…read morethird trimester. The first OB I saw about my condition, nurse practitioner Modell on 2/2/16, dismissed my concerns and did not even examine me thoroughly to make a proper diagnosis. I suspected vulvar varicosities and had to make an extra appointment on 2/8 to try to find out what was going on. Dr. Honeggar saw me and was able to confirm my suspicions, but could not recommend any treatments other than a support belt and Tylenol. I requested phlebotonics, which I hard read about in a French research paper, but she could not help me with this. Dr. Honeggar recommended that I see Dr. Foley, who would know more about my condition, so I made this request. Dr. Foley took special time out of her busy schedule to see me on 2/24. I got some additional recommendations for treating my condition and more compassionate care than I had previously received. Importantly, she checked my veins for thrombosis. Throughout this ordeal, Dr. Foley is one of the few OBs who showed empathy for my condition. While the other OBs often dismissed my pain as mere "discomfort," she understood the severity of it, and helped me with additional pain management options and prescribed an early epidural for my labor and delivery.

She made it easier than going to the dentist for a teeth cleaning. Her sense of caring made me feel so relaxed. There really aren't enough stars for Dr. Foley. We won't be finding more doctors like this now or in the future. How lucky I was and thanks to Dr. Honneger (another great one) I was able to be so fortunate.....to have both of these physicians in a lifetime. Sonja Farer

I saw both doctors during my entire pregnancy and they were both very sweet and comforting but also very professional.

Thank you for delivering my baby so carefully and taking such great care of both of us! It will not be forgotten! The world is lucky to have doctors like you!! Sorry this is so late.

Use to love her until i realized she does not care about me or my health. I had a PCOS diagnosis 4…read moremonths ago has she called to talk to me about the diagnosis? NOPE! I have called left messages had a appointment with her but of course she canceled. I also have been having heavy bleeding problems for the past 3 years straight and she keeps saying its "Normal" I got TWO 2nd opinions both of them said ABSOLUTELY NOT NORMAL! I have been talking to her about this for 3 YEARS! Today was my last straw when i had a appointment for my Depo shot and they waited til 17 mins after the start time to tell me they cant give it to me. (I can get it 3 weeks early) I drove 41 miles and They brushed it off saying "its scheduling fault" this has not been the first time something with scheduling as happened either. But bottom line Dr Monardo really does not care about her patients or maybe its just me she does not care about.
