ONE OF THE BEST AND KINDEST DOCTOR! She is so nice and helpful and she cares a lot about her patient, she listen to her patient carefully. And she support you with whatever you need! I would recommend her always! read more

Dr. Flora is an amazing doctor! She delivered my second daughter and was very supportive of my plan to have an unmedicated birth! She always takes the time to listen to you and I never felt rushed at any appointment. Sometimes you have to wait awhile for your appointment, due to the fact that she never rushes her patients, but the wait is worth it. I'm super grateful to have had her as my OB and will definitely go to her again if I have another baby. She made my second birth experience much better than my first!! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE Dr. Flora. She is simply amazing. She is sweet, super cute, but most importantly very intelligent and thorough. So much so that I traveled all the way from Los Angeles for every prenatal appointment just to see her! She cared for me when I was pregnant with my first and we lived in OC, but we moved to LA and then I got pregnant again. I didn't hesitate even for a second whether to go back. I had a high risk pregnancy and vulnerable to preterm labor both times, so I was in Newport twice a month). The distance was well worth the care I received. I lost several pregnancies before having fertility treatments, my fertility doctor recommended Dr. Flora and I am so glad she did! She was very careful in her monitoring and even urged me to stay in the hospital on bedrest, even when I wanted to go home. I now have two healthy babies (who could have both come super early and not survived) thanks to Dr. Flora and her team! I will continue to go to her for annual check ups. read more

Was extremely disappointed with this office. I had heard great things about Dr. Flora and was looking for an OB after moving to the area but was shocked at how terrible this office is. First is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to get anyone on the phone first for appointments and then when I was having bleeding at 7 weeks pregnant I was put on hold for over an hour and never got anyone on the phone and had to drive for an emergency appt with an accommodating OB back where I used to live. Pretty terrifying especially after a recent miscarriage. Also, I was never even seen by Dr. Flora. I waited over an hour to be seen by her NP. I feel this is totally unacceptable especially for someone with a high risk pregnancy to be seen with someone who has not completed medical school or an OB residency. Finally every time I would get labs it was again impossible to get anyone on the phone for results. They would eventually call me around 8-9pm with lab results (when I was usually busy putting my children to sleep) and then if I tried to call them back i would get a message the office was closed..terrible system. After a terrible experience with them I switched over to an amazing OB and have had none of these issues. Never even got the chance to meet or talk to Dr. Flora but unfortunately could not deal with their office any longer. read more

she is the most amazing OB. I lost several babies before my little girl, and she was amazing each time. With my last pregnancy I had an extremely difficult time, because of my own health issues, and she could not have been more amazing. I would always come in with a list of questions, and she would patiently answer all of them. She was so sympathetic and understanding. She most definitely always had my best interests at heart, which i feel is not the case with most doctors these days. I do want to forewarn you that you will probably have to wait in the waiting room for a while before your visit, but honestly she is worth the wait. I have been to other OB's in the past, and i feel like they were always out to run a bunch of tests to get my money. That is definitely not the case with Dr Flora. Love love love her!!!! read more

Exceptional! Amazing person, physician and surgeon! Highly recommend her and her team.

This review is long overdue. Dr. Flora is the best! She genuinely cares about her patients and is very knowledgeable. She was not only my OB during my son's pregnancy but we got lucky (due to covid restrictions) and she was able to deliver him too. I had a two week stay in the hospital due to preterm labor and she was always on top of what was going on and making sure to communicate with me and the other doctors. Her bedside manner is impeccable and she was the cheerleader I needed during my delivery. Recently we unfortunately had to call the office to cancel a few appointments due to a miscarriage, she personally called us to see if we needed anything and say how sorry she was. That meant the world to me. Also, Kristy is GREAT! She really worked with me on scheduling my appointments and is so incredibly kind. I highly recommend. read more

Dr. Flora is the bestest doctor in the whole entire world! She is cute, sassy, short, great personality, patient, honest, sweet, and gets the job done. She always greets you with a big smile and is always running on time. I am hoping (cross my fingers) that she will be able to deliver my 1st baby if I can keep my PPO insurance in a couple of years. The whole staff is turning to PPO pretty soon so I've heard. One accepts HMO. The whole staff is very professional and the office is so nice. It's like a luxury hotel with nice couches and decor. I love looking @ all the beautiful photographs on the wall of the families. I look forward to every single visit and I never feel rushed. You can't beat that!!! Dr. Flora is GREAT!!! I absolutely love this lady and recommend her to anyone who is picky and looking for a top notch OB/GYN. read more

Dr.Flora is one of the best OB's out there. She's sweet genuine and cares deeply about her patients. I wanted to have an unmedicated birth and she expressed full faith in my ability to do so. On the day I delivered I showed up to Hoag her (amazing) nurse practitioner, Donna happened to be working. I had the A team for my delivery and was so fortunate to have had the experience I did. read more

Rhonda M Flora, MD - The A team!! - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Newport Beach, California

You know who loves Dr. Flora? Almost everyone. You know who can get an appointment with her? Almost no one. I still love her for the same reasons everybody else loves her-she's very kind, compassionate, caring, non judgmental, gentle. Read all the other reviews that wax poetic about her. Here are things that are really rubbing me the wrong way: My appointments are constantly being canceled/postponed. Her schedule changed (I think she only works 2 days a week now), somebody scheduled an induction. These are yearly check ups, so they are scheduled waaaay in advance. I get that she's Very popular but be aware that your yearly checkup isn't high on the priority list. And no, I'm far from a new patient, so that doesn't matter. If you ever try to call them for any reason, you're on hold for at least 20-30 minutes. It's extremely frustrating, like a hostage situation if you need something very simple, like reschedule an appointment. Sometimes I feel like I'm on hold with the DMV. So, the 10/15 minutes spent with Dr Flora are almost a pleasure (minus the obvious parts of the exam that everyone hates), but everything else is a test of your patience. read more

Dr. Flora is amazing! I feel lucky to have found her. We had a high risk pregnancy due to Velomentous cord insertion and Dr. Flora did an excellent job monitoring us closely and delivering my daughter without any complications via c-section. She is always so positive, pays attention to all the concerns and truly cares. I never felt rushed at her appointments. She is one of a kind and I would definitely go to her if I decide to have a second baby. read more

It's a shame Yelp only offers 5-stars because Dr. Flora deserves a million more. This year will be my 11th year with her as my OBGYN and I now consider her my primary. After over a decade, I understand first hand the frustration with the wait times and appointments, because trust me, I've been there, but I will continue to keep up with it because there is no one else I would trust my health with. In fact, at one point she no longer accepted my insurance and I paid in full out of pocket. 9 years ago Dr. Flora delivered my daughter via c-section as I was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia and she was with my husband and I every step of the way, holding my hand and calming my fears. She didn't leave my side and has become more like family than my physician. Years later, our office visits consists of annual check ups, great conversations, laughing until our sides hurt and my tears when I thank her again from the bottom of my heart for giving me my daughter. I adore Dr. Flora and anyone who is fortunate enough to be under her care is truly blessed. Thank you, Dr. Flora. xx read more

Dr Flora is AMAZING!!! She loves her job and it shows. She has wonderful, warm bedside manner, which is a very important characteristic for me. (I have seen far too many cold doctors) She is very patient, personable and honest. She will ALWAYS listen to your concerns, and take what you have to say into consideration - at the same time, keeping your health her priority. I have been seeing Dr Flora for about 5 yrs now. She has delivered both my children, and I wouldn't have had it any other way. In fact, we moved to LA County recently, and I commuted about 30 miles to Newport Beach for my OB visits just to see her. She IS worth it!!!!! I have NO hesitancies recommending her to ANYONE!! The only "down side" to seeing her (if you wanna call it that), is that you may have to wait awhile in the waiting room, for your appointments. However, keep in mind that this is because she takes her time with her patients. She does not rush you through your appointments. You are NOT a number to her. She talks WITH you - not to you. I never mind waiting to see her, because I know I've taken my time with her, and I appreciate the time she spends with me. She is a gracious, caring doctor. I am currently without insurance, but still willing to pay the cash to see her for my annuals - that's how awesome she is!!!! :) read more

So for so good. I am 14 weeks pregnant and have been going to Dr. Flora's office for a couple months. She is absolutely adoreable, bubbly, and nice as can be. I really like her. My first appointment was with her nurse practitioner who was a little scary...just seemed very serious. Everyone else has been great though. Very nice office, comfy couches, ultrasound room is very nice with a big screen tv on the wall that you watch your ultrasound on which is really cool! read more

Absolutely, positively, without a doubt an amazing Doctor! From my first appointment with her to my 6 week post delivery appointment, she was excellent! I was pregnant with my first child and she was so helpful. Always answering my questions and would give me hugs! She is so sweet and smart. If you want a caring, sweet, intelligent Doctor, look no further! I will go to her for my second child and future girly appointments! :) read more

I HATE her EVERYDAY of my life. Thanks to her, I had a severe prolapse. I'm crying everyday regretting chose her as my OB. She broke her promise for doing C section for me and forced me to do vaginal delivery. I know myself and my health conditions, I told her I can't do vaginal delivery buy she didn't care about any of the conditions that I have: Baby had a big head, umbilical cord tightly wrapped around baby's neck, double loops. I had a cyst which she promise to cut it out, diabetes. And she ONLY come to me after I pushed for 3 hours, only when the baby's heart rate drop and she used Vacuum to suck baby out. Very irresponsible, aren't doctors suppose to save lives not to destroy someone's life? read more

Without Dr. Flora, my son would not be here today. I had a pretty rough pregnancy, which included four months of bed rest and an early delivery. Dr. Flora rocked it. She cared about the baby, but also cared about me throughout the process. Cared about how I was doing emotionally, offered solutions when things got difficult, etc. She's seriously amazing. Also, she's worth the wait. A doctor of this caliber is EXTREMELY hard to get into. I understand the frustration posted, but this is what success looks like. She's very good at what she does and in an incredibly demanding area. I'm so grateful I was patient and it worked out for our family. I think the entire practice at FIOBYN is awesome. I've never had a bad experience with any of the doctors there. Office staff has always been great with me. Going on four years as a patient and Flora is my primary doctor now. read more

Dr. Flora is the reason my 5-month old twins arrived safe and sound! I experienced complication after complication during my twin pregnancy and her care and attention is truly the reason they made it close to term with as few complications as possible. As a first time mom, I was anxious and fearful when I started to experience complications and she was as comforting and assuring as humanly possible. She promised me she would get my boys here safe and sound and she delivered! We have recently moved about 50 miles from her office location and I will travel any distance to see her the next time I'm pregnant. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my babies. She's the best there is. **Office staff is awesome! Friendly and competent! read more

Hands down one of the best human beings I've ever met. She genuinely cares about her patients. I've just recommended my best friend over to her. If you can get an appt with her, you scored! read more

Literally they make you wait 30-45mins past your appt time for a brief 5-10min check up or ultrasound. Everyone here is slow, and the nurses seem like they really don't give a f*** and don't have knowledge what so ever. I get worried all the time. But! Dr. Flora did a wonderful job delivering my child, this woman was definitely born to do this job, she is not available 24/7 for delivery though, only on week days til 6pm I believe and on some weekends she's on-call, I got lucky and delivered my son on a Friday ! I am not sure if I would've had the same awesome experience giving birth if it wasn't for her. read more

I had my first appt with Dr. Flora today and I LOVED her!! Cute personality, very personable and a wealth of knowledge. I can't recommend her enough!! read more

They have you on hold for 45 min just to tell you they are not accepting new patients.

To be fair, I never actually met the doctor. But the office staff is so hideous I decided not to use Dr. Flora since you have to deal with the staff more than you see the doctor. I was 6 months pregnant when we moved to Orange County and booked an appointment with her well in advance. I requested that my medical records be transferred in advance. Over a week in advance, I found that I had to travel for work, so I tried to change the appointment, but was told that if I did I could only see a nurse practioner. I opted to keep the appointment since I wanted to meet the doctor for the first time, but that meant that I had to wake up at 3am, to fly with my toddler son on a 6am flight to make the appointment. I did. Once I got there, I was informed that she was running over an hour late - due to delivery which happens - no big deal. However, after they had me fill out a mountain of redundant paperwork, I was told they hadn't received my medical records and the doctor would not see me. I couldn't even see her face and say 'hello'. And she was so rude and plastic when she told me this. It was like talking to a phone recording. Definitely not the type of office staff you want to be around when you are pregnant. read more

Flora was the one who delivered my baby. Only after making me push for three hours straight with only a clueless stupid cold nurse, Flora came in to check me. When she did, she realized that my cervix was too narrow and that I had no option but to do a c-section!! The epidural was wearing off, so I was in so much pain. So, being told that I went through 24 hours of labor in vain was so heartbreaking for me. To top it off, I was going to have a major surgery! She didn't show sympathy even though I was crying my heart out! The only one who cared to comfort me was the anesthetic doctor! She, however, was chit-chating with the nurses while operating on me!! read more

This practice is ridiculous. I have never been to Dr. Flora and I called today to try to make an appt. The next opening was in November, 6 monthes from now! I've been having pelvic discomfort for a while and I told the receptionist in the hopes that she could make an exception and try to squeeze me in a little sooner, but it didnt make any difference. I am so upset, I have done a lot of research to find a good dr and everytime I find one they either do not accept my insurance or they are booked for a half a year. Because of this, I haven't been to a dr in almost 3 years and I cant take it anymore. f anyone has any reccomendations, I'd really appreciate it. read more

Oh, I just saw Hilarry R's review pop up and I said to myself...Hey Dr Flora! I love Dr Flora. I used to see her a few years ago but my insurance changed to HMO so, I had to switch doctor's. I would see her now except that I live in North OC and it's too far for me. Dr Flora is so kind and patience. She sits down with you and asks you to share with her anything that you're concerned with. She definitely takes time to listen to you. She did my laparscopy to remove a large cyst (size of a baby's head) from my uterus. She was concerned that it was attached to my ovary but ultrasound showed it was attached to a fallopian tube. That's still bad news because I want children. I was freaked out and as soon as I woke up in recovery, I asked the nurse to find out if she was able to save my fallopian tube. Thank goodness the answer was yes. She did a great job! My scar was real little and her follow up care was great. She called before and after surgery and I really appreciated her care. PS: Did you guys know she surfs? read more

I attempted to make an appointment with Dr. Flora (or any other doctor at the practice) and the staff promised to return my call for an urgent matter. That was Monday at 830am and I never heard from them after stressing the importance of a return call and they reciprocated. Very unprofessional and disappointed as the practice was highly recommended by two women. read more

Dr. Flora is the best doctor I have ever had. I am pretty picky too. I have been seeing her for 8 years and she is wonderful. She is very thorough and always cares about what is going on. She delivered two out of my three boys. Dr. Flora even came in on her day off to deliver my son. Dr. Flora cares about you. She sits down and takes the time to get to know you and wants to know if there is anything you are concerned about. She is adorable and so kind hearted! read more

love love love dr. flora and her staff. the front desk is most usually very attentive and knowledgable. they even remembered (don't know if this was a fluke or not) that since i'd been in about once a week for three weeks i'd have to return in two weeks cuz i should be indisposed during one week. how wild, right? i've never heard of that before. i'm getting caught up on my lady shots, my b/c stuff and my annuals and i love this place. even the nurse practitioner is fantastic. they all take their time, their bedside manner is outstanding, etc. i'll stick with this office as long as i can! read more

Dr Rhonda Flora is the best doctor EVER. I wish she was a general practioner. After having had Kaiser for 20 years, I got different insurance, and needed a new 'lady' doctor. She was referred to me by a friend, and WOW. She delivered my daughter and helped me through what I perceived to be a high risk / stress pregnancy. I am older, and that is really the only risk, but I hate being pregnant in general ( this is my 3rd child ) and at my age (41) I was so stressed out by all the issues the baby could have. Dr. Flora made me feel really comfortable, her office and staff are very good. I felt I had a lot of very good screening, ultrasounds etc.. to determine if the baby had any issues. I really can't say enough how much I truly love her, and how organized they are, which is VERY important to me. I think sometimes her appointments run behind, but its all very worth it. I think that is common for most OB's, its hard to have a set schedule when you deliver babies. Not that this matters, but she is truly the cutest happiest little lady, I can't say enough wonderful things about her. When I actually delivered, which is SHOW TIME for the OB's, she was as amazing as I thought she would be. I had about 8 family members in the room and EVERY SINGLE one was like WOW - who is she ? and WOW. She made me feel calm, her care and expertise is better than ANY doctor I have EVER gone to. I was induced because my daughter was determined to be a big baby ( 9lbs 15oz) and going a week early helped, and the entire labor / delivery was the easiest birth of all 3, the pregnancy was fantastic and she was a big part of it. I would not hesitate to go to her for any OBGYN issue, ever. I love her. read more

I attempted to schedule an appointment for my 18-week pregnant fiance who just arrived as a new US citizen from a war zone in Africa. Because she could not have electronic medical records sent from her previous MD, she was NOT PERMITTED to become a patient with Dr. Flora. And in case you're wondering, I fully explained our situation...twice! I explained how their policy was indeed absurd, and how surely they cannot think it is okay to turn someone away simply because they aren't able to attain records through no fault of their own. To my amazement, the offices of Dr. Rhonda Flora DID TURN HER AWAY! No explanations offered. I was shocked. I am a doctor myself, and frankly, I don't feel that she deserves the title. Turning a person away because of one's situation is the epitome of what is wrong with the current medical system. Placing exorbitant profiteering based on aesthetic services rather than the welfare of the underprivileged is shameful, in my opinion at least. Well, despite the 8 women physicians at this office, my fiance was one woman who was not allowed in. read more

Just had my beautiful baby girl 5 weeks ago and Dr Flora was awesome! I would give her 10 starts if I could. We are planning to have 1-2 more kids with in the next few years and Dr Flora will definitely be my OBGYN. read more

I can't recommend her enough. Her bedside manner, her expertise and her joyful demeanor makes every visit a pleasure.

I love Dr. Flora. She is friendly and very easy to talk to about anything and everything. She also is extremely thorough and sent me for an emergency mammogram for diagnosis of a lump in my breast that she found during my exam last week. Thankfully the mammogram ended up coming back normal. She delivered both of my children and was there for me post natal when my first baby and I were hospitalized after birth from an infection. The Hoag facilities are also outstanding. read more

Dr. Flora is not my regular OB but she is in the same practice as my OB and she ended up being the one that delivered our baby. I know it can be scary to think that someone other than the OB you've been seeing is delivering your baby but our minds were set at ease when we first met her. She is so peppy and sweet which is very welcomed at such a stressful time. She did an awesome job delivering our baby and we couldn't be any happier. If my regular OB isn't available, I would be happy seeing her instead. read more

Dr. Flora delivered my baby boy on Christmas Day of 2014. She truly is amazing! From the first second I met her I just loved her. She was smiling and full of great energy. She saved me from having a c-section. Our baby wanted to come out with his face first. She was able to switch his head around. His head ended up staying the way it should and I was able to deliver naturally. What a true blessing. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend her and words can not truly express how grateful I was to have her as my doctor to deliver my baby. read more

The BEST Doctor if you are PREGNANT! Key word: PREGNANT. She will be there when you are ready to deliver! (As long as she is not on vacation) She is positive and full of energy! And she will take every pre-caution possible. If you notice the people that did not give 5 stars, they are people that didn't meet her because she was at the hospital delivering a baby. It doesn't make sense to use her as your gyno for a yearly check up when any doctor can do that. Every time she cancelled an appointment during my pregnancy, it only reassured me that she would be there for me too. And she was there for me TWICE! If you are pregnant and have Dr. Rhonda Flora as your doctor, consider yourself lucky! read more

Dr. Flora will always have a special place in my heart! Not only is she a great physician and knows her stuff, but she's so personable and comforting. She truly cares about her patients. I started as a patient 5 years ago when I got pregnant. I had my ups and downs throughout my pregnancy and she was by my side through the whole process. I'll never forget the phone call from her during a horrible moment that I experienced, she was so encouraging and made me feel at ease. Dr. Flora would take her time during my appointments and we always had very informative chats. Anyway, two little boys later, I'm still her patient and can't imagine going to anyone else. read more

Amazing doctor, with the friendliest personality and a ton of knowledge. Front office staff were friendly as well. She is the first obgyn who made me feel at ease at my appointment. She is non-judgmental, and listens. Only downside is I had to wait 4 months for my annual check-up. She is in demand because she is the best. read more

Dr Flora was amazing!.. she made me feel comfortable, and prepared... I would have given a 5 star, but she was on vacation during my time of giving birth! ARGG! read more
