I used to go to a male gynecologist. Then one day, I was like, why? Why not choose a woman? So I asked friends for recommendations. Someone referred me to Dr. Michaelynn Wilson, I started going to her for annual exams, and I could not love her more. She's kind, smart, and a good listener. Many times I have wanted her advice on different topics and she always delivers. She's wise, has depth, and is cool. I joke that she is the Joan Jett of gynecologists. I know that probably doesn't help you decide whether to see her. But I'll just say, in a city where we have our choice of many great healthcare providers, you are in excellent hands with her. Since seeing her, I have never thought about looking elsewhere. She's the best. read more

Michaelyn, whip-smart doctor, precise surgeon... is also a Stand. Up. Gal. With four kids of her own, she's not just seen it all she's been through it all, and then some. Truly wish I could clone her and make an army of women's docs... good thing she teaches at both UCLA and USC too. read more

Dr. Wilson has been my doctor since she delivered my twins in 1997. She's now my daughter's doctor too. The circle of life!

Dr Wilson is incredible - she is so personable and helps put me at ease every time I come in to see her. She is thorough, professional, and a true advocate for women's health. She helps to normalize topics that are not always the most widely normalized and asks holistic questions to understand your situation. By far the best OBGYN I've ever had!! read more

Dr. Wilson is amazing. Started going to her in 1999 and I refuse to see anyone else. Thanks to the previous comment I called the Santa Monica Location and made an appointment. Funny thing is they still had my info from when Dr. Wilson worked there in 1999!! She delivered my son in 2012 and was right there to answer all my questions during visits and she always returned by phone calls! So glad I found her. I was starting to the panic at the thought of having to find another OB. read more

I was with doctor wilson for almost 12 years. Yup. You heard that right. 12. Years. For 11.5 of them things were great. She's friendly, helpful, thorough. She helped me thru a cystectomy, an hpv scare and a bagillion Pap smears. The front desk staff is absolutely horrendous but I stayed because of her. The front desk never calls you when results come in. Never call you when they need something from you. It's pulling teeth and always feels like an inconvenience to them. The reason I left is simple. Dr. Wilson is too clinical for me. Almost to a point of being dead on the inside. We lost our first baby in December 2016. We got to see the heartbeat one week, then 2 weeks later, nada. No baby. Empty. We moved forward with the D&C that she did in her office. It was the most incredibly painful experience I've ever been in in my entire life. Her concern? The other patients in her office. "If you don't keep it down I'll have to reschedule, is that what you want?" We'll, of course that isn't what I want but clearly I'm in pain. Cut to my two week post op appointment. I'm still in tears. Still torn apart from our loss. Her nurse gave me a big hug. She was very sweet. Dr. wilson? "I'm just so surprised you're still so upset." Yup. That's what she said to me. I can never go back there. I can never see her again. Someone who has zero idea what compassion is. How to read someone's body language. How to understand that people cope in different ways. Nope. Never again. I've moved on to a new doctor whose compassion is off the charts. Who understands our now, two losses, and wants to do everything we can to get that BFP. And make it stick. If you want a gyn, she's amazing. If you want an ob that'll be there for you when shit goes south, go elsewhere. She doesn't have the time for you. read more

This was my first time seeing Dr. Wilson but i was immediately impressed by her disarming and professional demeanor. She was very quick and efficient with the procedures without making it feel like you are being rushed through. It has been a long while since I felt this comfortable with a practitioner. read more

Dr. Wilson has always been great -- professional, reassuring, on time, and displaying excellent follow-up. My experience the last two days, however, has me looking for a new ob/gyn this morning. Dr. Wilson had warned me that if I began experiencing certain symptoms, I should come in right away, and if she wasn't in the office, to see one of the other doctors in her practice. When I called yesterday morning, the staff said she was booked solid and they couldn't get me an appointment with her or any other doctor. I explained I needed to be seen right away, and the staff member said there was nothing she could do for me but book an appointment for the following morning. I tried to get an appointment elsewhere and was unable to, so I called back and took the available slot for today. The front desk called and left a message canceling today's appointment as I was literally walking in the door to their office. When I explained I needed to see someone today, the girl said rudely, "There's nothing I can do for you today," and offered me a MONDAY appointment, which is an entire week away. I told her again I needed to be seen today and asked about the doctor on call, and she looked it up and said, "Dr. Wilson is the doctor on call." At that point I walked out, furious, with the girl calling after me, "Do you want to reschedule..?" No, I don't want to reschedule for next Monday! I needed to be seen yesterday! Dr. Wilson was been my ob/gyn for years, right up until today, most of which I'll be spending at urgent care. Her staff is rude, unhelpful, and most of all, uncaring, completely indifferent to putting my health at risk. Never, ever, ever again. read more

I'm in disbelief that no one has ever talked about this phenomenal doctor here before. Yelpers are supposed to be everywhere! Anyways, I came to see Dr. Wilson after I parted from my previous OBGYN since my insurance company can't decide whether she is or isn't part of the network almost every week. Reason? The majority of the women from my work swear by Dr. Wilson. I was thinking, HOW can one doctor be so great in practicing gynecology? Don't they stick that thing up in you all the same way? Oh no, I was wrong. I adore Dr. Wilson. She's professional. She doesn't judge you. (I mean, I had to tell her something totally weird and embarrassing that nobody would understand, yet she still didn't shame me) She's just a really super cool OBGYN. As is, her office is busy and booked months in advance, but I still wanted to spread her name so that a few more L.A. gals can save themselves from keep seeing OBGYN they don't like... read more

I can't even imagine my life without Dr. Wilson. She has been on top of my healthcare since 2001 and has quite possibly saved my life. I've been in touch with the Manhattan Beach clinic and am happy to report that she can be found in offices in both Santa Monica and Westchester. The SM office number is 310 255 0990. read more

I was referred to Dr. Wilson by two colleagues. One of which had her baby delivered by Dr. Wilson. I've heard nothing but good things and my visit the other day can be an additional testimonial. I showed up 10 minutes early, filled out new patient paperwork, and was taken back to my room in less than 10 minutes. My only warning is the paper gown they provide. I spent like, 55 seconds trying to unfold the darn thing until I realized it was just a little vest type thing and not a full length gown - high class problems. You use the paper blanket/cover for the lower portion of your body. So once I was through with freaking out that someone would walk in on me topless while trying to unfold a paper gown that would't unfold, I sat there for maybe 10 ish minutes waiting for Dr. Wilson. It was super chilly but when she walked in, introduced herself and had me lay back, I realized the bench and padded stirrups were slightly heated (yay for comfort!). We were done in literally 3 minutes, she left the room, had me change back to my clothes, and she came back with my prescription. I walked right out, didn't need to check out or anything, and I was there for less than 40 minutes. She is very sweet, quick, and professional. I hope to one day have her deliver my baby when I'm ready for a family : ) Five stars is as good as it gets? Totes McGotes. read more

I got referred to Dr. Wilson last year and so far, I had 3 visits. She is absolutely amazing. Very professional, comforting, very thorough with the explanation of my condition, and she goes extra miles to cover the condition that I can easily overlook. Very friendly staff, appointments are made promptly and no wait time. I will be seeing Dr. Wilson as long as she stays in the practice. She is absolutely phenomenal and I would recommand her to everyone. Only thing is you have to pay for self parking. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Wilson for probably 16 years or so. She delivered both of my children and made me feel I was in good hands. I was so shocked to discover that the practice has suddenly closed and there is no forwarding information for her. The other doctors seem to still be at the Manhattan Beach location, but Dr. Wilson has disappeared from mention on the website or anywhere. If any of her former patients know where she went, I'd love to know! read more

It was my first visit with Dr. Wilson today and I though she was great. I will start from the beginning though to give you the whole picture. The waiting room is a bit small especially since there were 5 other people waiting in there. The front desk staff was friendly and didn't bully me for all of my information. I arrived 15 minutes early to fill out the new patient forms and was called back to my surprise right at 11:00 (my appointment time). The nurse was super friendly and it was nice to have nurse with some personality! I was put in the room and waited only about 5-7 minutes before Dr. Wilson came in. She was super professional and didn't make any comments or facial changes to some of the responses given, which was nice and immediately put me at ease. She was professional and really quick. I was out of the office with a new prescription and free samples (YAY....as my b.c. is really expensive) in 45 minutes. I will be back and can't wait to tell my friends to go to her! read more

Piggybacking off of Ingrid L.'s review dated February 2018 - I actually called Manhattan Beach Women's Center (that's where the majority of doctors from Beverly Hills Women's Group of Women Physicians moved) and inquired about Dr. Wilson. The receptionist said that Dr. Wilson is opening a Santa Monica office, but she didn't have any details on where/when/contact info. If anyone else has additional info, please do share! read more

Since her other patients raved about her, I had to see if this doctor was as great as they made her out to be. Let me tell you, she is! The wait was short. They took me even though I was late. (Some places make you reschedule.) She is gentle and patient. I felt very at ease with her, even discussing uncomfortable stuff. The nurses are very friendly and professional. The day I made my appt with Dr Wilson, I also made one with Dr Masterson from The Doctors, but after reading all the poor reviews from several sites, I made the right choice with Dr Wilson. read more

I like Dr. WIlson and the staff seems fairly friendly, but the office seems sort of disorganized. I showed up for my appointment today and they didn't have any record of me having made the appointment. Then when I called to schedule another, they put me on hold and never picked up. I called back, was put on hold, and then someone hung up on me. Drrrrrr. read more

Dr. Wilson is absolutely a fabulous choice for women who are looking for excellent and professional care. I loved my previous doctor, but he didn't take my insurance and I got tired of the $250 office visit bills. So I switched to Dr. Wilson after a colleague recommended her. She was on time, asked good questions, and was extremely thorough. She has a bunch of children too, which in my book gives her some credibility as an OBGYN! Update: I think she is still a good doc but don't dare call her during off hours for an Rx; I got an earful! Deciding if I want to go back after a somewhat nasty conversation...sigh. read more

The only reason I haven't given 5 stars is because my experience has been fairly limited. The experience I have had so far is 5-star. I find her to be a very competent doctor with the annual check ups and paps. She is quick and to the point, so if you like to sit and chat for half an hour with your doctor, this is not going to be your experience. When it's really important though, I find that she will call you back. She also recently prepared me appropriately for and administered the most gentle and painless uterine biopsy, which I have read is almost impossible to experience. For that alone I'll give her 7 stars. read more

I Love Dr. Wilson! I was referred to her 7 years ago when I was pregnant and my GYN told me she no longer delivered babies. I was terrified to go to a new OB at this point. But Dr Wilson is seriously the best. She is so calm, and so nice, and so reassuring. My pregnancy was completely normal but my delivery was out of a TV Drama (my fault and just circumstances with the baby not hers) she was the most incredible doctor under pressure. My now 6 and a half year old son I'm sure owes his life to her. And his 2 1/2 year old brother had the easiest delivery possible because she said I only get one dramatic birth in a lifetime HA! I have nothing but praise and love for her. read more

I am a very big fan of Dr. Wilson, as well as the staff of her practice. I have gone to see her for annual appointments, in addition to a recent emergency. There was no waiting time. The staff is consistently kind and professional, and went as far as calling me a few times (to finally contact me) to let me know that everything was fine following a visit. Dr. Wilson is very personable, and makes me feel quite comfortable. She accommodates early morning visits, which is a huge plus as well. Prior to being a patient of hers, I found myself waiting for at least 30 minutes to see my previous ob-gyn. I would also get the question: "why aren't you married yet?" as well. Both the promptness and the professionalism go a long way with me! read more

Went to see Dr. Wilson this morning. She was absolutely professional and corteous and willing to be very flexible for me with my situation. She also looks great and obviously takes care of herself. She even offered to make herself available for me through times that she was unable to schedule for.... which really showed how much she cared. Only downside was the wait. I was scheduled 9AM. arrived 8:50... wasnt seen until 9:40..... read more

I love Dr. Wilson! I can't say enough wonderful things. I've been a patient of hers for years and became pregnant with my first child earlier this year. From the routine office visits to the day she delivered our little girl, it felt as if she was emotionally with us the entire way. Even my husband raves about her to our family & friends! Her confidence always puts me at ease if/when I have questions or concerns. I couldn't be happier that she is my doctor and I highly recommend her. Also the staff is always friendly and professional. read more

I have been a patient of Dr Wilson since 1993, She is very caring and wonderful, I have had 4 other people go to her she is amazing and I would not go to anyone else, she listens to everything you have going on she is very understanding. I wouldn't know what to do if I had to go to another Dr , Thanks you Dr Wilson you are truly the best Josephine Damante read more

Fantastic doctor! Delivered my twins. Really knows what she is doing. Highly recommend

Dr. Wilson delivered my twins - she is wise, respected, and extremely well-connected to a host of other amazing doctors in the field of women's reproductive health. read more

I just spoke with Manhattan Beach Women's Center and they said that they should have more information soon about Dr. Wilson's new practice in Santa Monica. The receptionist suggested that I call back next week for the details. I've been a patient of Dr. Wilson's for more than a decade and I can't imagine going to anyone else. Glad to hear that I'll be able to see her again. read more

Dr. Michaelyn Wilson is THE best GYN doctor - she delivered my 1st baby and kept the whole pregnancy thing "real" - she is honest, professional and makes sure you understand the entire child-delivering process! read more

I've been going to Dr. Wilson for the past 14 years since I got pregnant with my 1st child! I never once in all those years had a problem. I see her every year. She took care of me during my 2 pregnancies, she delivered my 2nd child and she was great! She did a wonderful job delivering the baby. She didnt deliver my 1st child because at that time the office was next to Cedars Sinai and they had a different policy. Dr on call came to the hospital to deliver. So Dr. Naiomi Suriel from the same office did that. i would highly recomend Dr. Wilson. read more

She's awesome. I had an issue that my previous doctor basically told me I would have to live with. Within 5 minutes of meeting Dr. Wilson, she had a remedy which has absolutely changed my life. She's obviously cutting edge and definitely not judgmental. read more

I had a similar - also horrible - experience with the staff here that echoes the stories that others have shared. I was just released from the hospital last week, so my appointment was very urgent. When I showed up, gave my name and the time of my appointment, the woman at the front desk just looked at me blankly and said, "no." No? No what? I was confused since I had received a confirmation call the night before. Then she finally said (while starting at the ceiling) that the doctor was not there. I couldn't even figure out if my appointment was cancelled or what, because she wasn't explaining anything and just kept saying "no, not today" like I had randomly dropped by. I started to get upset, and pointed out that I was very sick, left work and spent an hour driving to this appointment and had not even received a courtesy call that it had been cancelled. Finally, she looked me straight in the eye and said, "I don't care." I told her I wasn't asking her to care, but I was asking her to fulfill the basic requirements of her job. Then she shrugged her shoulders and told me I could "reschedule or leave or whatever, I don't care." I have honestly never been treated like this in a medical situation. It is always annoying to have an appointment cancelled on you without your knowledge, but all that needed to be said is something like this: "I'm so sorry we had to cancel your appointment. The doctor had an emergency and we couldn't reach you. Let us help you reschedule." There was no reason this had to be so upsetting. I will never, ever go back here. I just made a new appointment with a new doctor, but I really hope that my health is not further compromised by this stressful delay. read more

I was completely disappointed in the healthcare system when I left Dr. Wilson's office. I lost all faith in patients rights and Doctor's entering the medical field to help fellow human beings. Dr Wilson's staff was rude and trained to reel you in her world of deception. The first few times I went to Dr Wilson, she impressed me with her medical knowledge and her approach to treating and preventing diseases for over 40 year women. I was diagnosed with an adnormal pap smear. I was given several tests, including a biospy determining the outcome of the results. I have superior health care provided by my corporation. The Docotr did not code the biospy properly so my insurance company refused to pay for it. I was advised that I need surgery in the office and (procedure) when I arrived for my surgery, I asked to pay my co-pay which i did. About 10 minutes later the staff asked to pay for my past due biopsy or they will not perform the procedure. I called my insurance company immediately and they advised me that Dr. Wilson/ and her staff were supposed to obtain a pre-authorization for this procedure. since they are on the insurance company's PPO list. I explained this to the office manager and she treated me like I purchased street drugs from her. She scolded me for not paying for my biospy (iinsurance responsibility) and told me I better pay up or leave. I asked to speak with the Doctor and she said that they needed the money up front. She was not as nasty as her office manager since she is a Doctor and has her license on the line. Long story short-my blood pressure went up, I was blackmailed into paying them $300 up front plus the co-pay and I left feeling mistreated and would say NEVER EVER EVER GO TO THIS DOCTOR!! read more

I scored Dr. Wilson the highest mark on the board, since she is so outstanding with her approach and demeanor. I am very pleased to see that Dr. Wilson has such great bed side manners as well. This is so important to me and being a first time mother. She really takes the time to answers all my concerns and questions, and doesn't treat me like a number but a real person with feelings. I love the fact that I am in good hands, also confident that my choice in selecting her as my doctor is so pleasing and comforting to me. I couldn't of asked for a better fit. I totally would recommend Dr. Wilson, since she is so caring, understanding, sensitive, and easy to work with. For me, this is very critical when you are putting your trust and confidence in someone that truly looks out for your best interest at heart and your babies. read more

I switched to Dr. Wilson after I found out I was pregnant. I wanted the best there was and I had done my research and her offices came highly recommended. So, I went in for my first visit and let me tell you, it was the easiest, best, most relaxed visit I've ever had at an OB/GYN. My appointment was at 10am and I webt back at approximately 10:15, so not a long wait. I not only had to get an ultra sound but a dreaded Pap as well. Well, even though those aren't fun, I can honestly say it was the quickest, best, least painful pap I've ever gotten in my life! I know that sounds silly, but when it's true you just gotta say it! Lol. Dr. Wilson also was very easy to talk to and was super nice. She even cracked a joke and we all laughed. Near the end of the visit she took time to answer all my questions and gave me a cute pregnancy informational bag with all sorts of materials and tons of prescription prenatal samples and lots more stuff. Oh, and the office staff was super nice and helpful. When I was first booking my appointment the lady was great and kept working with me to find the best appointment that was soon and worked for me....and she also called me "sweetie" lol, which, as I come from Tennessee, it was a nice thing to find such a caring person in LA... I have already recommended her to all of my friends and family. I will keep you updated upon my next visit, but as of now Dr. Wilson is awesome! read more

Great OB. I have been with Dr. Wilson for 5 years and I just love her bedside manner. Very friendly staff great office

I've been a patient with Dr. Wilson for many years. She is fantastically down-to-earth and no-nonsense. She has also given me stellar referrals to a variety of specialists. She and one of her partners at BHGWP delivered my son (via c-section) at Cedars-Sinai 3 years ago. I was incredibly nervous that morning, but her bedside manner, confidence and efficiency quickly put me at ease. Not sure if she had anything to do with Queen playing in the operating room when they wheeled me in (doubt it), but that certainly helped lighten the mood too. Overall, a total gem. read more

Can't say enough great things about Dr. Wilson. The office staff is courteous, friendly and thorough, there is never a wait (which I find shocking because my last OB typically had me waiting an hour for every visit), and Dr. Wilson has a wonderful bedside manner. The office itself is low-key and pleasant - not jammed with patients. A very easy experience every time I see her, and that's saying a lot for an OB! read more

Dr. Wilson is terrific so it's a real shame that her staff member Lucy is so rude. I called to schedule an appointment and Lucy forgot the message she left me earlier that day, called me by the wrong name when I had given her my name less than 10 seconds before then interrupted me four times in less than two minutes. I'm not sure why she would interrupt me repeatedly this way since there was nothing controversial being discussed. She simply seemed impatient and I'm not sure why she would believe that her time is more valuable that mine. Anyway, treating people poorly seems like the normal course of business for her. I probably shouldn't be surprised because I was treated in a similarly unwelcoming way by the folks at the front desk when I came in for an appointment there a few weeks ago. They were unfriendly and impatient - the same as today. Maybe this is the normal way of operating for them, but it's not for me. Life's just too short for this kind of thing. I like doctor Wilson but am going to find another gynecologist with a staff who make me feel welcome instead treating me like an imposition. read more

I just moved to the area and choose her out of my insurance provider book. I agree that you can get a quick convenient appointment; she had great hours and openings. She and the staff were very nice. My issues were about a difference of opinion. There was a test that I didn't want, but she said she would not discuss birth control or medication options without the test. I didn't ask how much the lab would charge, my mistake because it was $542.00. We disagreed on treatment/medication options that my other OBGYN had been prescribing for years. Had I known what her views were up front; I would have chosen a different doctor. I left without medication and a large lab bill. I went back to my old doctor even though the drive and hours are not convenient. With insurance today I would do better research and ask more questions before having procedures and tests done, including what the providers views are on services/medications, etc. and how much is this going to cost me. It's like taking a car in for repairs, get an estimate upfront. read more
