    Dr. Mahller has been my OBGYN since about 2017, and for both of my pregnancies. He is personable, genuine, and knowledgeable, and we usually have a good laugh about something or another during our appointments (usually due to either him or my husband cracking a joke). He seems to love what he does. I'm sad I'll have to find a new doctor when we move in a couple months. I highly recommend Dr. Mahller and his team. The entire staff at Orange County OBGYN is great. I also had the pleasure of seeing Tabitha Indries, NP, for a couple of my appointments during my most recent pregnancy, and she was kind, genuine, personable, and went out of her way to discuss and address all of my questions and concerns. Lastly, their patient portal is very convenient, and Dr. Mahller answers questions through the portal extremely quickly, which has been SO helpful and appreciated!

    Dr. Mahller was the BEST OB we could have ever picked. He truly cares about his patients & creates a wonderful relationship with each one. Very thankful we had him throughout our pregnancy and will continue to see him in the future. The office administration was great, they made it very easy when checking in every appointment. Also calling us a day before each appointment to remind of us of timing. Cannot recommend this office more!

    Grateful to have had Dr. Mahller as my OB being pregnant with my first. I had this weird fear of things possibly going wrong and had a lot of questions and he was very patient to answer everything throughout the entire pregnancy. Will definitely be recommending all my pregnant friends and family to Dr. Mahller & his amazing team. We'll be back when we have baby number two! P.s. thanks for helping with the puzzle :)

    I have been a patient of Dr. Mahller for the past four years, during which he delivered all three of my children. He is an amazing doctor who consistently listens to my concerns and takes the time to address them. I tend to stress a bit more than most, but Dr. Mahller has always been patient, compassionate, and incredibly reassuring. He not only provides sound medical advice but also puts my mind at ease every step of the way. His PA, Tabitha, is also fantastic, and everyone in the office is truly the best! I am so grateful to have had such a wonderful care team and highly recommend them to anyone seeking exceptional care.

    Myself, Dr. Mahller, and baby

    I am very grateful to have found Dr. Mahller and I truly had a wonderful experience with him. From our first appointment, I felt comfortable and knew I was in the right place. Dr. Mahller, Tabitha, and the whole staff is incredibly knowledgeable and provided great guidance throughout my pregnancy journey. They put your mind at ease to the worries you have as a soon-to-be parent and are there to support you throughout all of the questions that come up. We worked with them with our first baby and look forward to doing so with the next! My husband, little one, and I thank you, Dr. Mahller!

    Dr. Mahller and his team are AMAZING! With this being my first pregnancy, I wanted to make sure I chose someone who had the patience and kindness to walk me through this journey, and Dr. Mahller was exactly that person! He made sure to answer every single one of my questions and never made me feel rushed. He knew when to be lighthearted, which helped ease my concerns, but he also knew when to be incredibly compassionate and empathetic. I also loved that he is affiliated with Hoag Newport because I was very adamant on delivering my baby at that specific hospital! Thankfully he was on call to deliver my baby, which was also a very smooth process. I can't recommend him enough! His PA Tabitha is also the best healthcare professional I have ever encountered! You can immediately feel her warmheartedness when she enters the room, and she takes the time to explain everything in detail to ensure you fully understand and are at ease. I absolutely loved all my interactions with her! I can't recommend Dr. Mahller and Tabitha enough! If you are looking for a great OBGYN, look no further and give them a call; you won't regret it!

    Mahller is the best and is a doctor that genuinely cares for his patients. So happy to have found him and I fully trust him with my prenatal and postpartum care. His communication is great. He always addressed any and all concerns within 12 hours of sending him a message through his app. I was a medically complex patient and he lead the care but also considered my feelings.

I had no problem with his accent. That is all for the positives. *If you value your healthy reproductive organs, be warned. This doctor seems a bit too eager to part you from them.* Despite no other patients, I waited a very long in the waiting room and again in the examination room. This gave me the opportunity to closely observe that his examination room was dirty, with dusty equipment, old dust on devices, between buttons, in corners. After sitting through all that, I was handed consent forms for an invasive biopsy without proper explanation. I protested. Only then the doctor came in and informed me he was diagnosing me with adenomyosis, just off a general ultrasound ordered by my PCP. He immediately pushed for a hysterectomy. When I said I still wanted children, he discouraged me heavily, saying I would have a hard time conceiving and then carrying a healthy pregnancy given my age (40) and the condition of my uterus. When I said my prev pregnancy was a quick natural conception and easy, he brushed it off as a fluke. Dr. M. kept pushing hysterectomy, telling me how skilled he was at performing it laparoscopically. I left the office confused. When I later requested an MRI (the gold standard for this diagnosis), it showed no indication of adenomyosis. The office still pushed for surgery, so I cut contact. Two years later, after unrelated surgery, pathology confirmed my uterus was completely healthy and capable of pregnancy. Dr. Marinescu's rushed diagnosis and mistaken pregnancy prognosis (the claim I couldn't not conceive) was a factor in my decision to include hysterectomy in my other procedure - a decision I now regret. To make a long story short: Dr. Marinescu pushed unnecessary sterilization surgery. His office was dusty. Stay away.

He was my second opinion…read moreafter I was diagnosed with a massive 14 cm dermoid cyst on my left ovary -- which had doubled in size during pregnancy -- along with a new, smaller cyst on my right. My original surgeon panicked, telling me he could no longer perform the surgery laparoscopically, that it would need to be open surgery, and most devastating of all -- that saving my left ovary would not be possible. As a brand new mom with a 3 month old hoping to grow our family, this sent me into a spiral of fear and heartbreak about my fertility. Dr. Marinescu was the complete opposite: calm, compassionate, and confident. While he was realistic that there were no guarantees, he believed there was a good chance he could save my ovary and even do so with robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery. After days of tears, the moment I met him, I felt a sense of peace. I knew I was in the best hands. My experience with Dr. Marinescu and the entire Hoag Hospital system was nothing short of exceptional. I never waited more than 10 minutes for any appointment, lab, or scan. Everything was organized, smooth, and patient-centered. The surgery prep was seamless, the staff were warm and reassuring, and I went into the OR feeling truly cared for and at peace. When Dr. Marinescu came out to tell my husband that the surgery had gone great -- and that he had saved both of my ovaries -- my husband literally cried. It was such a relief that this was all behind us. My only regret is that I don't live closer so that Dr. Marinescu could be my OB for future pregnancies. We live in Ventura County and gladly traveled the distance because we knew this was the doctor we could trust with something as precious as our fertility. Thank you so much, Dr. Marinescu. My family and I are so SO happy that we found you and trusted you with this surgery!!! Brianna

What a difference that made! She was incredibly patient with my indecisiveness, never pressed me for what she wanted over what I wanted, but also (so) kindly gave her recommendations and gave me both the space to think things through and all the options before me. She also took great care and extra steps in physically delivering my son, and honored my wish to delay cord clamping until the cord turned white. Never with a hint of annoyance either.

After a four-year fertility journey with many ups and (mostly) downs, I was very anxious throughout my pregnancy about something going wrong. I also had significant, daily physical discomfort (including nausea throughout all nine months of gestation!). From my husband's and my very first appointment, we were impressed with Dr. Kurtzman's office. They were able to schedule us around our travel plans for our first visit. The scheduling/administrative staff members are very efficient and great at getting back with patients swiftly about both scheduling matters and medical questions requiring the doctor's input. They effectively multi-task and are very invested in positive patient experiences. When you call the office, you speak to a real human located inside the building! No automated phone system, portal-only care, or extra hoops to jump through blocking you from receiving timely care. When I once needed to speak to the doctor about a time-sensitive matter on a weekend, I was able to promptly contact him by phone without any issues. The physical office itself is spacious, impeccably maintained, and beautifully furnished. Medical and nursing staff, including the sonographers and personnel monitoring non-stress tests (NSTs), are good-natured and seem to genuinely enjoy their jobs, expressing happiness and excitement when monitoring the baby and a desire to meet the baby once they are "on the outside!" In addition, Dr. Kurtzman is clearly an expert! He addressed my many questions thoroughly during each visit, and with empathy and caring. He is passionate about the work he does (including his research contributions to the field), and it really shows, having a significant positive impact on the quality of care patients receive. I always felt I was in good hands and never a burden. He took my complaints seriously and prescribed several medications to ease my discomfort. His office sent prescriptions to the pharmacy swiftly and effectively communicated with my regular obstetrician's office, as well as my daughter's future pediatrician. Furthermore, when I was at risk of pre-term birth, he increased my medications, monitoring, and physical restrictions, additionally ordering steroid injections in the event of an early delivery. It all paid off, and my daughter and I had a smooth induction at 39 weeks, on the day I wanted. She was born healthy and well. In a nutshell, the quality of care I received at OCMFM was significantly better than my experiences at other OB offices, with my family members and me feeling supported as individuals in more of a personalized, human-centered way that is hard to come by in these days of AI assistants, online portals, and low-contact care. I would highly recommend their services to anyone with a high-risk pregnancy who wants to feel respected, valued, and attentively cared for as a patient.

The team is so thorough, listening to every concern compassionately . And Dr. K, well he is the absolute best. After being under his care from 15 weeks onward, I finally delivered my baby girl at 37 weeks. I am so grateful to OCMFM, for helping me through. You won't regret adding this team to your pregnancy journey.
