    Goody bag
    Gladys S.

    Good morning, I came to this location today because it's the closest to me and I have come in the past and it's always been a good experience. I was a little hesitant because the reviews are awful. I thought to put a positive one. I was a walk in and I was mentally prepared to be here 2-3hours since other people have appointments. I did show up when they opened to beat the heavy load of people traffic. Lol It's a Tues as well so I was greeted and helped by Laura. She was professional and not rude just assisted me. I haven't been here in years so I needed an implant removed and I thought I was long over due. Laura assisted me, by providing all the information I needed to know and guided me in my next move based on what works best for me. My implant wasn't expired so she gave me options. I then, filled out paperwork and she was still checking in other people. She seems to be working on a reasonable timeframe in my opinion. I decided to do some regular annual testing since it's been a while and I was there. I wasn't done filling in paperwork when Ayanna called my name since I was next to be seen. Again, I went in when there wasn't anybody there but around 4 ppl. She greeted me with a nice smile even if I couldn't see her since she had a mask. I felt it, she was very professional as well and made me feel comfortable talking to me while doing my blood work. She made it easy for me to feel comfortable and informed me about how I can get the results without waiting and for peace of mind. They now, have a portal that instantly tells you about your results. While I was with her, the physician Simon came in and greeted me very politely and apologized for interrupting. There was nothing to interrupt since she was there to ask me routine questions. I thought she was pleasant and sweet based on my brief interaction. She told me to come back for a pap smear check since it's time as well. Then, said goodbye gracefully. I finished up with Ayanna and she was so thoughtful she gave me a goody bag. I love kind gestures in this rude world. Honestly, I'm grateful that all these lovely ladies were professional in their fields and were patient with my needs and guided me since it's been a while. They all assisted me and I felt very thankful for their generosity towards me. I was sooo worried because of the reviews. I'm glad I disregarded them and made my own opinion about this location. I'm sure people have bad days and can be overwhelmed so go in when you have time and just be patient. Thank you all for working diligently. P.s I was done in under an hour.

    I had to wait for a bit but not too long. I came out with a goodie bag and the employees were very friendly. I will be returning for my next visit.

    I've been a patient here for a year and I have to say, the level of care and attention I have…read morereceived outweighs the $250 admin fee. I understand it's not something everyone can be down with, but after having a very base level of care with other gynos, it's something I will pay to continue being a patient here. I had to get an MRI done to take a look at my fibroids and everything else going on down there and at first, my insurance approved it, but I was out of state during the approval window my insurance company gave. So that approval expired. When I finally got back in town, we tried to get a new approval. Big surprise, my insurance company denied it. They denied it 2 more times, but Dr. Rodriguez's office was PERSISTENT and they kept on it and got it DONE!!!!! I am so thankful to them for their energy and keeping their "eyes on the prize"! I've NEVER had another doctor's office be this way. Sylvia Chen is the best...she does my annuals and goes through everything with me and explains everything and is more than happy to stay and answer questions...there is never a feeling of being rushed. The sonographer is also awesome...she put me at ease during my pelvic ultrasounds. I had a surgical consult with Dr. Rodriguez because my uterus is just riddled with fibroids and she was the absolute best. So kind and caring and presented me with the options available and helped me to understand each one so that I could decide what is best for me and my comfort level. She also cleared up A LOT of questions for me regarding specific procedures and I walked away with clarity AND peace of mind. Seriously...the bedside manner and positive attitudes of the doctors, nurses, medical assistants and admin staff is above and beyond of any practice I've ever experienced. So thankful they are here and I know they have my back...and nether regions. ;)

    After agreeing to pay the $250 admin fee, before they would even book the appointment, I was told…read morethat someone would call me in a week to book an appoitment 6-8 weeks out, with somone in the practice otherr than Dr. Rodriguez, because she is not taking new patients. I waited a week and have made subsequent calls to their office and email through the website, yet I still cannot get an appointment booked. I can't figure out what the practice gains by stringing people along like this.

    Dr. Olsund NOT RECOMMENDED - Uterine Niche Repair The staff…read moreat Marina OB-GYN were very kind and helpful, but my experience with Dr. Elisabeth Olsund was extremely disappointing. I scheduled my appointment about three weeks in advance and clearly explained what the visit was for -- a uterine niche (isthmocele) repair consultation. When I arrived, I went through the normal check-in process: weight, height, blood pressure, etc. A medical assistant then came in and told me that the doctor couldn't see me unless she had my medical records. I said that wasn't a problem and that I could get them sent over right away. I also pushed back and asked why the doctor couldn't at least come in and meet me during my scheduled appointment time -- I had an appointment, and she had that time blocked for me. Still, the assistant said no, the doctor wouldn't come in until she reviewed the records. The assistant then encouraged me to call my other doctors to get the records, and she and the staff worked closely with me to make it happen. They were even on the computer trying to download and properly upload everything for the doctor. So the doctor was fully aware that we were actively getting her everything she needed in order to see me. Despite that, once all the records and images were sent and confirmed, the assistant came back and said the doctor still wouldn't see me because her schedule was now full. Dr. Olsund never came out to meet me, introduce herself, or even apologize for the situation. For a patient coming in for a specialized procedure, this lack of professionalism and basic courtesy was unacceptable. I left feeling completely dismissed and disrespected. Either the doctor isn't confident in performing the procedure, or she simply didn't care enough to speak to me directly. In either case, I would not recommend her. A doctor who won't even come in during a scheduled appointment -- after all records were provided -- should not be trusted to perform surgery.

After I had my baby and had to meet with "Judy" & go over my birth control options as a first time mom I asked for "the shot" since it's what I had used before and she responded in a very condescending way "this isn't planned parenthood". I still don't know what she meant by that but it wasn't nice. I still don't recall me going in there for BC, just a post pregnancy check up, was she upset cause I opted for NO birth control???? the tone still doesn't sit well with me after 4 years. now in my 2nd pregnancy going somewhere else because I did not like her.
