His professionalism and reassuring presence made what could have been a very stressful experience feel much more manageable. I truly felt that both my baby and I were in the best possible hands.

She is compassionate, efficient, knowledgeable, and joy to visit, which I say a lot when you consider that no one likes going to the OB/GYN.

I love how good attack the office is as well - they are on top of things, they have a portal, they do telehealth and there's no issues that I've had with that either. They are located conveniently to the other medical buildings in Newport. If I have to go to the OB/GYN, might as well get some beach time or yummy food lol.

    I went to Dr. Marinescu for a second opinion on heavy menstrual bleeding causing anemia. I will…read moresay: the doctor speaks softly and comes across as kind and well spoken. 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.

    Words cannot express how deeply grateful I am to have found Dr. Marinescu. 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

She delivered both of my healthy baby…read moregirls, and I will always be incredibly grateful to her for the care she provided during such important moments in my life. What makes my experience special is how I first met her. During my first pregnancy (2022), she wasn't my routine doctor... it just so happened that she was the on-call doctor the night I went into labor. Looking back, I truly feel lucky that she was there that day, because it gave me the chance to meet the wonderful, caring person she is. That experience alone made such a lasting impression on me that I knew I had to switch to her practice for my second pregnancy (2026) and I'm so glad I did! From the very beginning of this second journey, she has shown an unmatched level of dedication, compassion, and expertise. What truly sets Dr. Howe apart is how deeply she cares about her patients. She is exceptionally knowledgeable and always took the time to answer my questions thoroughly, making sure I felt informed and confident every step of the way. During my second pregnancy, which was unfortunately high-risk, her calm, skilled approach helped guide me through what could have been an overwhelming experience. One moment that really reflects her commitment was when she personally called me on the morning of my delivery while I was already at the hospital. She checked in, reassured me, and walked me through the induction plan for the day. That level of attentiveness and genuine care is rare. Dr. Howe goes above and beyond for her patients, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

However today it was a different experience. I don't understand why Doctors or PAs can't be on time and they think it is ok to make patients wait 45mins to an hour before being seen. They ask for us to be 15min early but yet they don't care about time! If I was 45mins late for My appointment with my CFO I would be fired. Not ok! In addition, in 2021, I was told that they did not focus on Menopause and that I needed to go to a specialist if I needed help! Now at my visit they seem to be all about it! Which is a bit too late! Looks like I will be switching doctors as they don't seem to care about loyalty and patient care. Very disappointing.

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.

I decided to call again and was able to get a hold of someone. That person told me that I needed to call my insurance company to verify if the doctor office accepted my insurance. She gave me the doctor's NPI number to give to my insurance company. Usually, when I go to a new doctor, the doctor's staff asks me for my information and then perform verifications on their side. I've never had a situation where I'm the person who is responsible for performing the verification. I guess they're busy enough that they don't need to do what most other doctor offices do to get business.

    Horrible experience!!…read more My experience with Dr. Karamardian's office (PACWHA) has been extremely frustrating. The front office has been consistently poor when it comes to appointment scheduling, time management, and patient care. Since September 25, 2025, I have repeatedly requested copies of my medical records by both phone and email, yet I still have not received them. Having to make multiple requests over many months for something so basic is unacceptable. Appointment scheduling was another major issue. Despite booking appointments months in advance, I routinely waited 45 minutes to over an hour before being seen. The front desk would simply justify the delays, often explaining that multiple patients had been scheduled, but they never apologized or acknowledged the inconvenience. To make matters worse, I specifically scheduled my appointments with Dr. Karamardian, only to have them changed at the last minute to a physician assistant or nurse practitioner because the doctor had been called into surgery. While I understand emergencies and surgical obligations arise, repeatedly rescheduling patients without adequate notice or offering alternative options demonstrates poor scheduling practices and a lack of respect for patients' time. Overall, the quality of the administrative staff and office management significantly detracted from my experience.
