I regret not trusting the reviews I read before choosing this OB. From the start, appointments feel…read moreextremely rushed and impersonal. During our ultrasound, he literally said, "I'll show you real quick," which felt dismissive and took away from what should be a meaningful moment for expecting parents. There was no effort to explain what we were seeing, no reassurance, and we weren't offered any ultrasound printouts of our baby at all. The entire visit felt transactional, like he was trying to get us in and out as fast as possible. He also asked me in front of my partner if I had an std in the past. Granted me and my partner share everything with eachother, the doctor doesn't know our dynamic . Typically, doctors ask these questions in private, either on forms or one on one time, to respect patient privacy and reduce embarrassment or discomfort. Pregnancy is an emotional and important time, and bedside manner matters. Unfortunately, this provider comes across as rushed, dismissive, and lacking compassion. I would not recommend him to anyone looking for attentive, patient-centered prenatal care. Safe to say, we are searching for a new doctor. Also, the front desk girl is very rude. She doesn't greet you at all. She rudely said " name?".. THAT was my greeting. So cold and rude.

Highly recommended doctor - here's why: Dr. Jesse Wood is…read moretruly different from most others. He doesn't overbook appointments, so you won't find yourself waiting one to two hours like at many other clinics even when you arrive on time. Here, appointments are honored, and your time is genuinely respected.  He was incredibly thorough, even drawing a diagram to help me understand. After seeing four other OB-GYNs, he was the first to clearly explain my condition and help me easier to weigh the pros and cons. He is extremely patient, listens carefully and takes the time to answer every single question without rushing. Honestly, he's a rare find. I was also surprised and impressed that the clinic accepts credit cards and provides receipts in digital format. It's a very modern and up-to-date practice. They even have a well-designed website where I can view my appointment details and ask simple medical questions online. The fact that they've invested in making things more convenient for patients shows how much they care. Dr. Wood and his clinic truly stand out.

My wife and I have been into Dr. Akram's office for the majority of my wife's pregnancy and for…read moremonths we loved her and thought she provided excellent care. Today we walked in for her 6 week postpartum appointment and they had no record that we had scheduled the appointment. She ran into the exam room and quickly, as she was trying to walk out of the door, gave single word answers to the questions my wife was asking. She was dismissive and wanted the appointment over as soon as humanly possible. I've also been trying to get her office to complete some insurance paperwork since March, and they continue to not fill out the paperwork that I've requested - as such, my insurance hasn't paid and a lab company wants nearly $4,000 for a test that should be covered under my plan. As we were leaving, we found out she is retiring TOMORROW and couldn't be bothered to end her patient relationships she spent so much time building with dignity and professionalism. Enjoy your retirement.

I was referred here for a colposcopy after an abnormal Pap smear and Dr. Akram nor her staff…read moreexplained to me what to expect or offer any empathy during and post procedure. This was my first ever colposcopy so I was of course extremely scared and anxious. During the procedure I felt so violated as again nothing was explained to me and it was very painful. Afterwards she had me stand up and I began bleeding all over the stool to the table. The nurse had left with the samples at this point and all Dr. Akram said was " oh they didn't give you a pad?" And proceeded to hand me one and walk out of the room. There was no explanation as to why I was bleeding so much, if that was normal or not and no empathy. I left her office and cried the entire drive home feeling like I had been so deeply violated. This is such a horrible procedure to begin with but Dr. Akram made the experience so much worse with her cold demeanor and lack of compassion. I've unfortunately had to have another colposcopy since and it was night and day of an experience. I barely bled at all and that Dr. Went above and beyond to explain things, offer tips during procedure to ease the pain and was very empathetic and made sure I was ok afterwards.

He is located in the PVMC building 2nd floor (confusing since it says he's in suite 101). The front staff is friendly and the nurse who helped me, Coral (if I remember correctly), was nice as well. Dr. Elsharkawy introduced himself and made the effort to try to get to know me, which I appreciated as a first time patient with him. He has a very calm and friendly demeanor and made me feel very comfortable throughout the exam, and was able to do a full well woman visit that day (I thought I was only getting a consult meeting as a first time patient). I don't plan on having any more babies, but I'm sure he'd be great if that's what you need. I found out he's actually a family doctor as well, so I can see him as my primary care physician also! I'm so glad I found him and am happy to have him as my new doctor!

My first born was an emergency c-section after 38 hours of labor. My baby was in the posterior…read moreposition, yet I was not informed until the 38th hour when they decided to tell me I needed to be prepped for the OR. I was told at my 6 week postpartum appointment that the shape of my pelvis was not made to give birth naturally and that I would never be able to give birth vaginally. When I asked if I could even consider having a VBAC, I was told absolutely not, especially because "babies typically get bigger with each pregnancy" (my first born was 8lbs 7oz). A few years later we moved and I got a new OB. Since then I've had two incredibly easy VBACs, amazing birthing experiences, and two babies less than 8lbs. My last delivery was so easy that our baby's name means "rest." I credit both of my VBAC experiences to the Lord's gracious blessings after the complete fear of childbirth and the postpartum depression that came after essentially being told I wasn't built to have children. I give two stars because my child was delivered safely and there was one nurse on staff that was always very friendly, or else I would only give one star.

Then my insurance changed again and I had to see a new Dr, all the drs I saw before weren't seeing new patients so I decided to give this new doctor a chance. I saw Dr. Ann Terai-Escamillo. As soon as she walked In the exam room, she was cold and not friendly at all. I requested for her to check my hormones as I been suffering from mood swings and issues with my menstrual cycle. She denied to do any blood work and wanted to do a biopsy and said I might have cancer even before giving me a Pap smear. She made me feel crazy for how I was feeling, I suffered from postpartum pretty bad In the past. It's unfortunate that this office has Dr on staff like this. I will never come back if I have to see her.

Based on my experience, choosing this physician was a mistake…read more At both of my appointments, I waited in the exam room for approximately 45 minutes to an hour before the doctor came in. When he finally arrived, I felt that my questions were treated as an inconvenience rather than addressed with care. During my second visit, I asked a question about my health, and he responded bluntly, "I have other patients." I found that response dismissive and unprofessional. No patient should feel rushed through an appointment after waiting such a long time. I left feeling that my concerns were not taken seriously and that the focus was on moving through appointments as quickly as possible rather than providing quality patient care. I was also surprised when he told me he was not familiar with MyFembree, as I expected an OB-GYN to be knowledgeable about medications commonly used to treat gynecologic conditions. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience. I will not be returning, and I plan to share my concerns with my insurance provider so they are aware of my experience.
