I was very pleased with all aspects of my visit to Dr Marinescu! His office staff was very welcoming and supportive; Dr Marinescu was amazing -- very knowledgeable, very kind, asked the right questions and most importantly, gave me excellent care and information in addressing my issues. Wonderful office staff and set-up - office was easy to get to and not a massive set of offices with a myriad of doctors. Very personal, which is comforting for gyn issues. Will definitely be making Dr Marinescu my gyn -- thank you, Dr Marinescu!! read more

I've been with OBGYN CARE since 2016, and Dr. Marinescu was amazing with my c section! He has always been so detailed, and makes sure that the baby, and the mom is in good health! He was even able to make my scar better from my first c section! I had keloids and he was able to make it a clean line. Now in 2023... I went in for my Annual check up, and he found that I had a cyst on my left ovary! My stomach was growing and I have been having pains but I thought it was my other issues that were causing them. He quickly issued tests to see the cyst, and found out I had endometriosis and the endometrium (chocolate cyst) on top of all my other issues... he then ran other tests to see if I was fit for surgery and got me in as soon as possible! Now I'm 5 weeks in recovery after a successful hysterectomy, and cyst removal! I've heard horror stories from other women about other obstetricians just minimizing their pains... you will not go through that here... He truly cares! And will do the very best for you! Dr. Marinescu... He is a gem! He's brilliant! And he's such a skilled surgeon... And I feel blessed to have him as my Obgyn... I will forever be grateful to him! And also his staff are all super sweet, and amazing too!!!! read more

I had high expectations when I made my appointment with Dr. Marinescu. I've been so accustomed to checking Yelp to get local recommendations and wanted to make sure I was in good hands if planning to have a baby. However, I was extremely disappointed. Maybe he was having a bad day but he was very hasty and rude during this appointment. I told him I had questions but his attitude and pushiness caused me to become flummoxed. His answers to the questions that were asked were very very vague and condescending, which made me feel even more irritable and overwhelmed. He did refer me for an ultrasound which was helpful and I really enjoyed working w the technician who has positive things to say about the work she did and about Dr Marinescu. I would have rated 1 star but am giving 2 out of benefit of the doubt. However, I do not plan to return for a second time. read more

If someone considering surgery for endometrioma or fibroid and looking for a doctor, I highly recommend Dr. Marinescu. He and his team are great. I had been suffering from an ovarian cyst over 9cm and he suggested the surgery without hesitation and he was very confident on the robotic sugrgery while most obgyn doctors are hesitant, due to lack of experience and or knowledge, but he saved my ovaries! I am about 3month after the surgery i dont have any discomfort and pain like before. I wish i could have met Dr.Marinescu earlier about this cyst. But im so glad i had the surgery with Dr.Marinescu. Also, his team is for friendly and has lots of knowledge like their doctor. One of his team, Bri, is really helpful and knowledgeable to answer my questions and scheduling my surgery as soon as possible. read more

I did my research before choosing my OBGYN when I realized I was pregnant. I chose Dr. Marinescu based on his skills and performance during labor. Not only he is very confident and knowledgeable he is also very honest. Based on other reviews I knew he would show up for labor which I did really care about; I didn't want to see a completely new face when I was in labor. I also had a complication during labor but thanks to Dr. Marinescu everything went so well and both myself and the baby did just fine. As a nurse who works with so many doctors I highly recommend Dr. Marinescu read more

Dr. Marinescu was the saviour of my pregnancy and delivery! After a terrible experience with another doctors office, months of insurance complications and tonnes of stress, Dr. Marinescu agreed to take me on very late in my pregnancy (32 weeks). He is incredibly thorough, straightforward, calming and informative. After complications during labour, I was informed I would need an emergency c section. It was a very high stress situation but the second Dr. Marinescu walked into the room, both myself and my husband felt calm. My baby girl was delivered safely and my body is already healing from the unplanned surgery. I am so grateful to have found this doctor! The office staff are incredible too! read more

Obgyn Care - Dr Marinescu and our sweet baby girl! - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Irvine, California

*1,000 stars* I trust Dr. Marinescu 1000%!! He saved my life during my second pregnancy with emergency surgery, I had to have an emergency hysterectomy due to excessive bleeding that didn't stop. His expertise, demeanor and advocacy shine bright. The real life super hero! I am beyond grateful. I had two pregnancies both delivered at Hoag with Dr. Marinescu second pregnancy turned into an emergency on 11/30 since I had postpartum hemorrhaging and needed to have a hysterectomy to save my life, I could see and hear he did everything he could to save my uterus and avoid this the entire time. I did not have any fear I had complete trust in doctor Marinescu as I could hear him directing and redirecting other medical professionals beside him on what needed to be done to save me and being my best advocate. He knows exactly what to do in times of emergency, and that's when it matters most. If it wasn't for him being there I don't think I would be here. He jumped into action and turns into a lion to make sure he saves you. Dr. Marinescu is the reason I am alive today to enjoy my two boys (he both delivered ) and husband. He is beyond excellent in both general women's health and prenatal care, I have been a patient since 2017, during my women's checkups and prenatal care he always has a calm and caring bedside manner allows you to not be a walking ball of stress if you worry about the small things. He is also very responsive anytime I had a question he responds and it feels like you are his only patient. I don't know how he does it! Also if other specialist doctors need to get a hold of him while your pregnant he is very responsive in responding to them all. The ladies in the front office are also wonderful and always friendly and attentive, I always get seen upon arrival which is respectful of everyone's time. You are in great hands, he has a patient for life and I wouldn't trust anyone else. read more

My girlfriend had nothing but nice things to say about this place. Such a clean establishment. Doctor were very patient and knowledgeable.

Waste of my time and Money !!!! God speed guys. They Took care of it at 07/22/2019 at 3pm. Thanks esmeralda. read more

I went in for my first appointment. When examining me I started to ask him my prewritten questions. His comment was "I hope you don't have too many questions I have a lot of patients to see." I was shocked at the comment but quickly went through my questions. This man had such a strong accent talking very fast. I was unable to understand a lot of his answers. I have an appliance that he took out never putting it never back in like other doctors have done. The gel used for the exam was left on and never wiped off my skin. It got all over my clothing. The receptionist put the appliance in a plastic bag. I don't want this doctor calling me to try to get me to take off this comment. He has called other people. read more

This is my first pregnancy so I tend to always be asking questions or message constantly.. Dr.Baker always makes sure my questions are answered and makes sure I'm ok. At every visit she will do a quick ultrasound which I love. Thank you for that . Definitely happy she is my OB. The girls in the office are also very nice .. it's nice to have that kind of setting (: read more

Dr Marinescu and his staff are amazing. From the very first visit we felt very comfortable and taken care of. My wife and I had been trying for a very long time and came to Dr Marinescu as a high risk pregnancy, from the very beginning he listened to us and assured us of the care we would be receiving. All followup appointments went great, and our little girl decided she wanted to come a little more than 4 weeks early. The Dr met us at the hospital and helped calm us down by giving us our options. 3 hours later our amazing little girl was born. Words honestly can not express our gratitude to Dr Marinescu and his staff, as a father I want to thank him for including me and making me feel like I was part of the process rather than a spectator. If we have more children Dr Marinescu is the easy and best choice! read more

Dr. MARINSCEU literally he is the best dr ever, he was my dr with my third pregnancy i wish i knew him before. He made me feel so comfortable specially during the delivery. He is so expert. He felt that i was so stressed he made me laugh and he was so funny and sweet. I love this dr and i really recommend him. read more

This review is for Dr Marinescu. He performed a robotic hysterectomy as well as removal of several uterine fibroids. I didn't realize how much I needed this surgery until I spoke to him afterwards. I am so thankful that I have had zero complications and the incisions are so small and healing nicely. I cannot recommend Dr Marinescu enough. read more

Great office with great people. The doctors are second to none and always very responsive. Really liked working with Bri up front. They have my highest recommendation. read more

I have had a great experience working with Dr Marinescu and his staff at Hoag. I had some complications late in my pregnancy and the staff was so understanding, thorough, and personable throughout my induction and delivery. I cannot thank the staff at Hoag enough:) read more

Clean and friendly environment, the staff and manager were awsome and helpful to my wife and I. Dr was great too and very informative. Will be going back soon. read more

I am so happy with the experience I've had with Dr. Marinescu. I began looking for a new OBGYN when my former doctor told me I needed a hysterectomy and that I needed to have a large abdominal incision, lengthy hospital stay, and 6 week recovery. After doing a lot of research I chose Dr. Marinescu based on his specialty in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, and impressive reviews I read on multiple sites. Dr. Marinescu did not disappoint! I went in with a long list of questions and he answered every one of them before I asked. His bedside manner is kind, caring and professional. His Irvine office is incredibly clean and efficiently run. The nurses/assistants are all very kind and easy going. My wait times were only ever just a few minutes. Dr. Marinescu runs his practice how you wish every doctor ran theirs. With my minimally invasive hysterectomy I was in the hospital overnight, had minimal pain, and felt at ease knowing I had a skilled surgeon performing my surgery. I was feeling pretty good after 2 weeks. I still had to take things slow, but was able to care for my busy family. I highly recommend Dr. Marinescu and his wonderful staff! read more

This review is long overdue. Dr. Marinescu is the most competent, thorough, and efficient ob-gyn that I have ever encountered. I was referred to him by Dr. Kurtzman (high risk) when I was unsuccessful for almost a year trying to get pregnant. I had a horrendous experience with my last OB-Gyn/delivery (who I found out no longer has privileges at Hoag) and was both emotionally and physically scarred from the experience. I swore this time would be different, and did extensive research to make sure that I found the right physician this time around. Dr. Marinescu acknowledged my concerns. He worked diligently to not only help me get pregnant within two months, but managed my pregnancy (which later became high risk) and orchestrated a seamless delivery. Pros: Office staff is very polite, rarely am I put on hold when calling, and I have only had to wait on the Dr. once, for which he was very apologetic and it was only 5-10 minutes. All of the labs and test reviews are displayed on the online portal, and when there is an abnormal result-he calls, in a timely fashion. There is no calling the office 15 times in hopes someone calls you back to discuss. In fact, when you email him through the portal he almost always responds within 24-48 hours. His calm demeanor puts anxious pregnant women at ease (as an ICU nurse myself I could never deal with that patient population). Honestly, he is just as good of a gynecologist as he is an obstetrician and that's important for all of the issues that happen AFTER the baby. I am so very thankful that I found him. Cons: I wish I could just use him as my PCP bc I trust him more than any general practitioner out there read more

After being turned away by my other OBGYN, I found Dr. Marinescu and I am so glad I got turned away. Dr. Marinescu is an awesome doctor. His office staff and nurses are so friendly and kind, they make you feel like family. Dr. Marinescu is a surgeon before he was an OB and since I had a c section, his work shows for itself. I healed incredibly fast and was very happy with the procedure. We will definitely be coming back for our second baby and he is now my regular doctor. read more

Dr Marinescu cared for me throughout my whole pregnancy and I couldn't of had a better experience anywhere else. Any problem that came up throughout the 9 months, he made sure to explain and had such an awesome game plan on how to take care of it! When it came to delivery, he was at the hospital 20 mins after they called him which I'm so grateful for! He has excellent bedside manner and his calm attitude soothed me while in labor. He is such an amazing doctor and I'm so glad my little girl was well taken care of thanks to him. Thanks again Dr. Marinescu read more

Obgyn Care - Thanks for delivering me Dr. Marinescu!!! -Charlie - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Irvine, California

Dr. Marinescu did my hysterectomy. He was fantastic. He's very professional and his staff is very nice. Dr. Marinescu has extensive knowledge in his field of specialty. He is thorough and very skillful in robotic surgery and I'm grateful to have found him. I recommend him 100%. After surgery I didn't feel pain, which shows that he's very diligent and knows what he's doing. read more

As someone who works in medicine myself I was extremely disappointed in my experience as a new patient here. After arriving I was told there would be a 20 minute wait. I understand that doctors can get behind so that is not unreasonable. After around 45 minutes I inquire about the wait as I had just received a call that my daughter was sick and needed to be picked up. I was told now that it would be over an hour wait. I had to have someone else pick up my daughter and was seen after over 1.5 hour wait. When I finally did see Dr. Marinescu he and the staff did not even acknowledge the wait and spent less than 5 minutes with me. This was a first time visit regarding a complicated issue. I now just received a notice that they have billed over $1000 in charges for that visit. As someone in medicine I have no idea what they could have billed for to get this when no procedures or tests were done. I new visit is usually (99202 or even longer 99203) would be only $100-$200. Thankfully I have a good PPO plan that paid for most of this but will definitely not be returning. read more

Anna is the best! I love this place. So much love and people really care about your needs. I definitely recommend it. I've been to many other obgyn and none of them compare to this one. Anna also asks how your visit was and made me feel like I've known her forever. I feel like I've made a relationship with good people. :-) read more

Dr. Marinescu and staff are awesome and extremely professional. I felt very well-cared-for throughout my entire pregnancy and even more so throughout my delivery. We were so impressed and confident with Dr. Marinescu! He's a very talented physician with a very calm demeanor. The office staff are extremely organized and super efficient. The patient portal is convenient for viewing test results, billing information, and for messaging the office about prescription information. This Irvine location is very convenient as well! I highly recommend this practice!!! read more

loved coming to this new location for my visit... not only was it easy to find but the location was amazing! I was able to make an appointment right away with no problems. The office was really pretty and well kept. Anna helped me check in and get situated during my visit and made me feel super comfortable during the process, she definitely knew what she was doing and was very quick and professional. not only was the staff great but Dr. Marinescu was amazing as well, he took his time and made sure to answer any questions and concerns that i may have had. he was also very polite and gentle when it came to the exam. Another thing that i loved was the patient portal, it was so refreshing being able to have all my results within a timely manner. i will definitely be coming back to this location. 5 stars for me!!!! read more

Absolutely love this new location and Dr. Marinescu! Having a history of miscarriages in the family and seeing 2 obgyn's previously I came across Dr. Marinescu after much research. And I'm so glad I did! He is by the far the best doctor I've seen. Me and my husband felt comfortable with him the first time we met him. He is just so calm and relaxed that it no matter now nervous or anxious you are you just feel at ease by talking to him. And he always addressed all my issues right away and gave me the extra attention I needed. And I absolutely loved the patient portal where I could see results instantly and receive any messages from Dr. Marinescu right away! Every doctor should have that!!! The staff is also amazing! No matter when you call they answer right away and they're just soo organized and professional. The whole team is just amazing here! I would recommend Dr. Marinescu to anyone in a heartbeat especially if you have medical problems in pregnancy. Thank you so much Dr. Marinescu!!!! read more

What can I say, number of stars does not possibly dictate the level of competency Dr Marinescu and his staff has shown. My wife went to Dr Marinescu with a level 4 endometriosis exhibiting a frozen pelvis and 3 different ovarian cysts ranging from 16cm, 5cm and 4cm in size that are giving her unbearable pain and fluctuating high temperatures for the past month. After visiting many other top rated OBGYNs around the OC and greater LA area (some of which are well reviewed and publicized) in hopes of solving her conundrum we are dumbfounded at some of the recommendations given. Plainly put it, while a few believe her condition is too great for them to treat and others are felt like they are just out for money, none had the confidence to acknowledge our main concern for the need to keep her ovary(s) so that we can have a greater chance at having children later. One well publicized doctor didn't even bother to look at her ultrasound and told us after meeting for 5 minutes that he will have to cut her open down the middle due to the size of her cyst which would be impossible to remove via laparoscopy and that she also will likely lose one of her ovary for certain as the largest of the cysts has already enveloped it. While we understand that doctors never give out promises, we would have appreciated more positive attitude and reinforcement which goes a long way of foreshadowing his bedside manner we as patients all look for and that apparently had been a common negative reflection among other reviewers. Dr Marinescu on the other hand come well regarded from all the research that we have done and his calm demeanor facing my condition brought comfort and confidence to me that he will be able to do a good job. One 2 hour long laparoscopy and a 2 week recovery later, we are EXTREMELY happy to say that my wife is cyst free and she have BOTH of her ovaries in tact! Not only did Dr Marinescu diagnosed her condition correctly, he also accurately diagnosed the issue dealing with an infection that was causing the fluctuating temperatures related that need to be addressed prior to surgery which would have gave complications if not caught beforehand. His skillful execution with robotic surgery helped remove the large cyst without cutting her wide open, and of course help saved that particular ovary at the same time. His due diligence also made sure the surgery center staff was keeping a watchful eye on her while she stayed overnight at surgery center for post op recovery. I could not give enough recommendation for Dr Marinescu and his practice. I believe there is no condition too great or complex for him to handle. So if you are suffering from any particularly unique condition and are turmoiling over what to do or how to treat it. Call Dr Marinescu ASAP. And if you gain the level of trust in him as we have, you will not be disappointed in the result. We on the other hand have found our OBGYN for when me and my wife are expecting, and will see Dr Marinescu in the future on a more joyous note! read more
