I've been with Dr. Gilberg-Lenz for at least eight years. The first appointment I ever had with her, she was in a hurry and I felt brushed off. I called her up and told her so. Guess what? The next appointment, she sat down with me and spent a very, very long time listening to me and addressing all my concerns. Since then, I've never found her to be anything but caring and capable. I don't expect her to be perfect, because no doctor is. What I expect is for her to remember me, listen to me, and address my concerns. The reason some people feel brushed off by her is because she's an extraordinarily busy person, with many patients. She also consults for multiple maternity-related websites and does occasional media appearances. That's because she knows her stuff. It also means that maybe she is not the doctor for you. If you know that going in, you won't take it personally when on certain days she is running behind. When she is in a rush, she goes out of her way to make it up to you next time. I've had 30 minute consultations in her office, but I've also had to wait 90 minutes to see her for 5. It is what it is. Now, here's why I love her: in the years I have known her, she has taken time to talk me through depression, comfort me through an emotional breakdown, and try different avenues to solve various medical problems I was having. She genuinely cares and wants to help. After all this time, I'm now pregnant and she has been overjoyed on my behalf, every step of the way. read more

Best OBGYN experience I've ever had. Yes, waiting is a pain, but you wait because it's a good reputable doctor and a lot of things can come up during the appointment which they will take care of then if they can. I lucked out finding Dr. Gilbert-Lenz. She listened to all my concerns and even had me speak with an assistant or maybe she was the billing department (who was sitting right in the office) when she suggested some lab work and another procedure. I expressed my concern since I had recently been hit with a ridiculous bill for a GI doctor who had just checked my reflexes when I went into his office. It was by far the least expensive experience I've had with a good doctor. In addition, they were able to do everything at the time of my appointment and I didn't have to reschedule! In addition, I called in a few times and always got a call back. read more

After reading the reviews, there's a clear discrepancy between love her or hate her. What I noticed with many of the "hate her" reviews was that the complaints weren't about the doctor; rather they were about a long office wait time, inappropriate phone etiquette, and parking cost/validation, all of which is not an assessment of the actual physician. Granted, people are writing about their full experiences but a line needs to be drawn between pettiness and true assessment. In my experience as a patient and as a person who has worked in a busy doctor's office, it's hard for staff to be perky all the time. The parking issue is important to mention up front because there are often alternatives to parking in the medical building garages - there's 2 hour free parking just one block north of Dr. Gilberg-Lenz's office. And as for wait time, remember that it's a doctor's office. Some patients need more time and some need less time. I often wait 2+ hours (past my appointment time) to see my oncologist because she is the best. Waiting a little extra time to receive the best medical treatment is important - and can sometimes be the difference between life and death. Patients often don't see how much doctors' have on their plates. As for Dr. Gilberg-Lenz, I think that she is superb - extremely intelligent, a great listener, very humorous and gentle. I wouldn't go to anyone else. The fact that other top doctors in this city send their daughters to Dr. Gilberg-Lenz says something about her ability, competence and respect within the medical community. read more

I think I speak for most of us ladies when I say that although I don't avoid a trip to the gynecologist, I wouldn't say I look forward to it either. It can be awkward, uncomfortable and for some, a little embarrassing. I happend to find Dr. Gilberg-Lenz in my Blue Cross insurance book. She's close to my work which made her the perfect candidate (I formerly had a doctor closer to my home, but I tend to move quite a bit). The first thing she did was take me into her office (an office with a desk and pictures, not with a table and stirrups) and just talked with me. She asked me about my job and my family and told me about herself. We spent a good twenty minutes just getting to know each other! Dr. Gilberg-Lenz is a rare kind of doctor. She's not only personal and attentive, but sensitive to your comfort level. read more

Gilberg-Lenz didn't inform me of an abnormal pap. When I went back a year later for my annual check up they then called to inform my last year and current pap was abnormal. I was in shock! They waited a year later while my abnormal cells worsen to have me come back?! I was furious! I quickly gathered all my paper work from her office and went back to my Obgyn who no longer takes my insurance. I have no problem paying out of pocket knowing I'm safe in the hands of a doctor who cares about my health! I will never go back to Lenz! I've told so many people this shocking story. Everyone said, malpractice or she waited for you to get worse so the bills add up! That doctors office is a factory. read more

Super-efficient without feeling rushed. She & her staff are really nice, answered all my questions, and just generally took good care of me. :) Oh -- and their lab is actually in-office. I could be wrong, but hopefully that means that I won't be getting random bills from labs all over southern California, like with my last doctor, which would be a happy thing. read more

This is my first Yelp review and I basically joined just to review Dr. Gilberg-Lenz. I had my first appointment with Dr. Gilberg-Lenz and I absolutely loved her. I won't go into too many details because the other 5 star reviews pretty much sum up how I feel. The thing I loved the most about her, is that she didn't just talk to me about medical issues. Although she is wonderful at what she does and was able to answer all of my questions and concerns. I barely even noticed the exam because she chatted with me about my life, job and friends to distract me. I have some medical issues not related to her specialty and being new to the area she gave me some recommendations and said if I wanted others she would be happy to give me more. I highly recommend her and when the time comes if she is still practicing I would happily have her as my OB. The one complaint I have is that the parking sucks, but that's LA for you and it's not really her fault. Be prepared for a long walk or forking over money for valet. read more

Wish so badly I could still see Dr. Gilberg-Lenz. We've recently downgraded to an HMO and unfortunately I am no longer able to go to this office! Dr. Gilberg-Lenz is very busy but is always at the top of her game...I did have to wait from 30 - 60 min for my appts even when I was pregnant. And you DO have to valet park (I've tried street parking -and with the waittime, there isn't enough time to be at the meter). It's not all bad news. She was great treating me during my pregnancy complecations, and pre-term labor...and actually was THE one to catch my baby... I just wish I could continue seeing her... read more

Dr Gilberg Lenz is one of the most open-minded and compassionate doctors in LA. I am a Doula and have worked with many doctors in the LA area and have seen them in times of pressure. Everyone knows a birth plan is all well and good until things change and then your doctor's true colors really come out. I just recently became pregnant and saw Dr GL at an event for midwives and doulas about changing the paradigm of childbirth and empowering women. She was the only OB GYN there. She took a whole day to be there and I completely fell in love with her for that. I came to her to ask if she is accepting new patients and that I am expecting... And she hugged me and said of course, she would love to work with me. So far, it has been great working with her. She was sensitive to our needs and wants and wasn't pressuring us to do what we didn't want to do. She has called me directly to discuss certain matters and even though she is extremely busy, when she sits down to talk with you, I feel her total presence. The office may be busy but that just shows how good it is. I park down the street on Charleville and it is no big deal. I highly recommend this Dr to everyone! read more

Uber friendly staff, great doc, clean building. I shouldn't have to say more, but I will. I had the last appointment of the day, and the doc stayed to talk to me, not about the vaj (she is a gyno) but about my life. It was like a gyno visit and a shrink appointment all in one. Parking is what it is... and what it is, is L.A. Four stars because I waited about 45 minutes for my appointment. But, for the last one of the day, it could have been worse. read more

Incredibly rude and condescending. I went to her as I was new to the area and she was recommended to me by someone who knew her from school, but was not familiar with her as a doctor. My husband and I were interested in starting a family and had a lot of questions. She gave us major attitude and snorted out something like "I'm not here to teach you what you should have learned in your high school sex ed class." The appointment went downhill from there. I was wondering if perhaps we were just a bad fit until I read the number of bad reviews below. I suggest doing yourself a favour and going with someone with a much better attitude who will act as your guide --not as a scolding teacher. read more

I love this office. Though never actually met with Dr. GB, Gale is a sweetheart and takes care of everything. She makes the most uncomfortable, worst doctor appointment ever seem good. i went in dreading the appointment and came out feeling great. read more

I needed an OB/GYN and so I turned to yelp! And thanks to Aubrey, I checked out Dr. Gilberg-Lenz. I had a really great experience. Her staff was super nice, and I was seen promptly. She met with me in her office (as Aubrey mentioned) in order to chat in a much more comfortable environment and see how I was doing, if I had any complaints, etc. The exam was as comfortable as possible and super fast. Although I am not pregnant nor have any kids, I would definitely see her as my obstetrician, too. In fact, the majority of people in the waiting room were pregnant couples. I definitely would recommend her! read more

Was recommended to Dr. Gilberg-Lenz by a friend that sees her. First visit to get an annual exam, loved her. Everything billed right, perfect. Covered at 100% as preventative. Obviously I am coming back! Fast forward to a year and a half later, I have an issue so I call to come in to see Dr. Gilberg-Lenz. She is unavailable, so I see Dr. Lia LaBrant who is filling in for her, who I also love. While she is checking out my issue and since I am due for my annual exam, she goes ahead and takes care of that while I am there. So most of my visit should be free because it is annual checkup and the rest should be covered as in-network because they are an in-network provider. But then I get a bill for $700 from the lab!!! I don't know if the Dr's office has changed labs from my first visit, but they sent my lab work to an out of network lab (basically a lab that doesn't take the same insurance that they do), leaving me with a seriously large bill that I can't pay!!! I called their billing department and they tell me it is not their responsibility to check that they send the lab work to an in-network lab. I am 35 years old and have had many doctors visits and labs done all over the country and never have I had a doctor use a lab that doesn't take the same insurance that they do. I am distraught as I have no idea how to pay these bills. First do no harm! I have no idea what I am going to do. Just when I thought I had found a great doctor, I find out I can't trust them to do their due diligence for their patients. Beware ladies! UPDATE: After spending about 2 hours on the phone between my insurance company, the parent insurance provider that bills my insurance company (Aetna), and LabCorp (and doing my own research online on the lab's website), I now know that it is the lab's fault because they falsely claim to have a contract with Aetna which was cancelled over a year and a half ago. Also, their customer service person also assured me they still have a contract with Aetna which led me on a wild goose chase. I ended up having to pay 75% of the lab work (about $558, all of which would have been covered 100% if the lab was in network like they claim to be). Long story short, the doctor's office is not at fault, so I have updated to 4 stars. read more

Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz is by far the most amazing and truly dedicated doctor I have ever dealt with. I recommend 2000% going to her Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz.. The staff is also the most tremendous that you can ask for. I cant say enough for Dr G-Lenz and her wonderful way she deals with her patients. BRAVO.. read more

Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz is so nice, and really makes you feel comfortable. i have been seeing her for almost a year now, and she has always helped me out a lot. she is also my mom's gyno, and due to the openess in our relationship, my mom took me to see her after i first started becoming sexually active with my boyfriend. the first time i went there for birth control and an exam i was so nervous and felt really weird. i was entering such a new phase of my life, growing up becoming a woman etc, but Dr Gilberg Lenz made me feel really comfortable. when she takes you in her office, she just talks to you like a person, and is so relaxed and nice it made me feel really secure, she also made it easy for me and my mom to talk about things in a way that was open, and didn't make me feel embarrassed in front of my mom at all. all the staff there are really nice too. the girls who do my Guardasil shots are really friendly and make jokes with me so i don' have to focus on the shot ( which i am terrified of!!) and once when i really needed a perscription for a antibiotic for a UTI, they did me a big favor and called it in for me even though i didn't come in for an exam, other times they have pulled strings for me, and helped me out of some jiffys at the pharamacy. all in all this is just the best place to go for all things woman, and you always leave 100% certain of your sexual health, this place is the best! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Gilberg-Lenz for almost 10 years and I drive from the Conejo Valley to see her. She is the best doctor I've ever had. She has been highly competant, knowledgeable, caring and supportive. She has cared for me for both routine and not-so-routine health matters and I've always felt I've had the best care possible because she brings all the knowledge and options so that the best decision for you can be made for your treatment and care . We need more doctors like her! You must call in advance for routine appointments because she has lots of patients who see her but if you are in pain and need to see her right away they will work you in. Her office staff is also amazing and they are friendly and professional. read more

I've been going to Dr Lenz since I was 16 and I am 33 and about to have my second baby. I love this woman as she has held my hand through some of the toughest times in my life as well as seen me through my happiest. I have referred over a dozen girlfriends to her who all love her. All I have to say is that as long as she practices she will be stuck with me!! Love her!!! I have never had problems getting a hold of her, if she is not on call another one of the doctors calls back right away. If I leave a message, for her (and I leave MANY) there hasn't been one time she hasn't called back that same day. read more

Dr. Gilberg - Lenz put my wife's life in danger. She was very rushed throughout and certainly by the labor where she put my wife on a "clock" for no good reason. As one of the reviewers wrote she def feels the doctor knows best and even in a case where not medically necessary she is authoritarian in her approach. The major problem came right after the birth. She yanked the placenta out without allowing it to birth itself. Our doula who was a retired midwife was horrified as she helplessly looked on. Dr Lenz immediately left because her daughter was sick at home and was not there when a nurse were cleaning my wife up and she was bleeding profusely . My wife started feeling very dizzy and sounding incoherent and I ran out to try to get the doctor to be paged. I heard the head nurse on the phone telling the doctor to come back as there was an emergency. The nurse got off the phone and told me the doctor said she was not coming back. Chaos reigned in the room as the nurses prepared to bring her to ICU for blood transfusion. In the end another doctor rushed in and was able to stabilize my wife so while she lost a lot of blood she didn't need the transfusion in the end. I would not let anyone near or dear go to this doctor. read more

I left this doctor midway through my pregnancy. She was curt and condescending. It was my first pregnancy, but every time I asked her a question, it'd be as if I was wasting her time or I was an idiot. She'd always say, "you need to educate yourself on that first before we can have a discussion" or "that's going to be a long discussion, let's talk about it next time." The worse part is that when I bring up the same questions at subsequent appointments, she'd somehow side step any discussion or give me useless perfunctory answers. In addition to awful bedside manners, she has a rude office staff and the waiting time for office visits is horrendous. I really would not recommend this individual. read more

I went to her because she is supposed to be a specialist. To put this brief without getting too personal with my health matters - she performed an surgery on me and never told me the possible scenarios of outcomes . I am worse now than before and pretty much ruined. When I returned to her afterward her response was " I don't know what to tell you " ... some specialist . In retrospect I should have sued her. Then I was an audience member on a talk show that she was on as a " specialist " , it was all I could do to not stand up and tell everyone in studio and at home that this woman ruined me and never warned me and didn't even give me a decent apology or help with solutions in anyway . I always had to wait for a minimum of an hour sometimes two and three hours in total . I guess she just gets in as many as she can and then responds " I don't know what to tell you " . She did see me in emergency situations f it was a friday only . She always said she'd connect me with other health resources and call me and she never did . She's no specialist . RUN . read more

I called several times over the course of a week to get in to get in to see Dr. Gilberg-Lenz, my gyn of 2 years, because I am experiencing very severe menopausal symptoms. I repeatedly left messages with her staff and was told that I would receive a callback. I NEVER got one. I can blame the staff, but the truth is that the doctor is responsible for her organization. It is unthinkable that a medical professional would not return a call from a sick patient in her time of need. I am so sorry, but this is inexcusable. Not only that, I am now left to find a new doctor when I thought I had been establishing a relationship with the one I had. There are several other reviews attesting to the fact that this office is incompetent and poorly run. I am not an isolated case. After posting this review I received a call from the doctor saying that she was "slammed last week and sorry she couldn't get back to me." I found her explanation galling. If she was so busy, why didn't she have one of her staff call to let me know. She also put me in the uncomfortable position of having to tell her that I was already looking for another doctor. read more

I've had a not-so-great experience with Dr. Gilberg-Lenz or her office. In fairness, I haven't seen her in about 2 and a half years, but the reason for that is that the last few experiences were so off-putting that I didn't want to deal with going to the gyno (I know, bad). Three years ago I had a hormonal issue that was wreaking havoc on me physically and emotionally that she mis-diagnosed as high testosterone. She later called me to say her diagnosis was wrong, but she didn't offer any alternative testing or suggestions, she left it at that. A short time later my PCP, who is awesome, correctly diagnosed the problem and I was successfully treated. For the rest of the year, I received bills from Dr. Gilberg-Lenz's office,for bloodwork which was covered under my insurance plan. Phone calls to her billing department went to voice mail and weren't returned. When I went to see Dr. Gilberg-Lenz a year later to discuss birth control, I waited for 45 minutes for my appoint ment and when she saw me she thought I was a new patient (I had been to her at least 3 times prior at this point). She covered by making a joke about seeing me fully dressed versus in the stirrups, but I didn't find it amusing. She did take the time to go over several options with me and discuss the benefits and drawbacks of each, which I appreciated. However, after that visit, I had to deal with the same billing issues. Again, I received bills that should have gone to my provider. Again, my phone calls to straighten it out were never returned. It finally did get straightened out when they called to collect on what they felt was a seriously overdue bill, having no record of my calls to direct them to my provider. read more

I have a different perspective to offer this medium. I am a Labor Doula who was trained to be a Midwife. I operate only as a Labor Doula now and have done over 60 births with Dr. Gilberg-Lenz! I work with a lot of Doctors having now done over 700 deliveries. Hands down she is my favorite doctor to work with. The reasons are many, but in summary, she is caring, insightful, professional, mindful, safe, authentic, and personable. I have seen her sit with a patent for 2 hours+, helping them push their bundle of joy out (not many doctors do that!).. More so, the norm is that we see the Doctor make their entrance when the baby is crowning. I have seen her give my clients/her patients the time their bodies needed to have a vaginal delivery, even though the consensus was to go to c-section simply because it was talking longer than normal (normal being "most common"). I have seen her stand by a client and go up against hospital staff when things were not being done properly! I have seen her remind hospital staff to limit interventions because it was the "patient's birth - not theirs". I have seen her go above and beyond so many times in the name of advocating for her patient that I can say that she is a rare breed these days as the medical arena gets more and more clinical and robotic. I'm sorry, but having to wait a little longer for an appointment, or having to deal with a cranky office person is a small price to pay when on your baby's birthday the only person who can REALLY help you deliver naturally and vaginally is your doctor . . and is by your side! What I mean by that is that the ability and/or opportunity to go vaginal and natural has a lot to do with your doctor's decision to induce you early, induce you for frivolous reasons, or go to c-section because of the mythical "too big baby". At lest with Dr. Gilberg-Lenz you don't have to worry about that madness - she is in your corner 100% when you need her! I know it, because I have seen it - many, many times. Just my 2 cents. . . . read more

Everything the other reviewers say about Dr. Gilberg-Lenz is true- she takes you in her office before the exam, I didn't have to wait long at all and she was very attentive and informative. The one thing that bothered me was that when I said I was not in a relationship, she said "ok, so you are not sexually active" as if you have to be in a relationship to be sexually active. I felt a little judged and didn't feel I could be completely honest. It might have been a harmless assumption on her part, but I think she should have known better. read more

I recently saw Dr. Gilberg Lenz for a consultation for which the fee is $250 because she does not accept Medicare. My history of cancer is a lengthy story but the severe night sweats is the result of going off Bio-identical hormones. An anti depressant was recommended by the doctor. The consultation lasted 12 minutes. I barely got to ask any questions. I was told it was a busy Friday. I'll never go back. read more

Two words: the best. Some more words: smart, caring, thoughtful, helpful, and warm. I have sent three friends to her. We can all be tough cookies and we are all extremely happy with our excellent care. read more

I love love love Dr. Gilberg-Lenz. She is the best ob-gyn I've ever had. Let me first explain the negatives--even though they weren't strong enough to deter me from giving a 5-star review. You should definitely expect to wait when you get there--anywhere from 30-60 minutes, so definitely take a magazine or a book you've been meaning to read. Also, parking in the garage is $12. If you can find street parking, go on with your bad self, but I am lazy and would rather pay $12 than risk physical and mental injury to myself while trying to parallel park on side streets off of Wilshire. But those are the only downsides. Her waiting room is packed, but the minute she comes in to see you, you might as well be the only person in the office. She is so friendly, asks questions and listens to your answers. If you're searching for advice on birth control or anything, she will provide you a list of options that she would recommend for you and your lifestyle. And, on your very first visit, she takes you into her office to get to know you and your history before taking you into the exam room. I've recommended her to other friends who instantly love her as much as I do. She's just a really great doctor who really cares about her patients. read more

I was very disappointed in my experience. Dr Lenz was recommended by my internist. I felt that my individual needs were not addressed but rather issues concerning women who are child bearing were emphasized. As a 48yr old woman who is not having any more children it was inappropriate. For instance I was forced to take a test that was "standard" procedure for the office regardless of whether or not I said it was applicable. I only found out because I saw the insurance bill and asked who approved this test. Etc. Dr Lenz was personable and pleasant yet I couldnt help but feel I was ona conveyor belt of care giving. read more

I have been going to Dr. Gilberg-Lenz for about 5 or 6 years now, and I have never had anything other than warm, friendly, professional, exceptional experiences. I can't imagine going through the pregnancy process with anyone that would be more caring and kind. read more

Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz is the most SUPERB doctor ever. I am so shy it is pathetic. I would of never ever returned after my first visit if it wasn't for her. She put me at ease and never laughed at the stupid things that came out of my mouth because of my nerves. I cant ever see myself going to anyone else so if she moves away, I would fly wherever she was for my yearly check-up. She is brilliant in what she does and the whole office staff is AMAZING. If you want the best gyno Dr EVER then DR. SUZANNE GILBERG LENZ IS THE ONE. PS. dont give her 4 stars because of parking issues that isnt her fault. I would give her 1000 stars if i could. read more

I liked Dr. Gilberg-Lenz and her staff quite a lot. They were pleasant, non-condescending, told me what they needed to do and when and did it. In some practices, the gyn gets lost in the OB end of things. I did not find that here; there seems to be a variety of patients' ages. Practices where doctors deliver babies often have lag times between one's appointment time and the actual time the doctor sees one, but a lot of that can be mitigated by calling ahead and asking how they're running that day. I have recommended her to friends who have come back saying how pleased they were with the doctor and her staff. One mentioned that she felt she was a partner in her health care, which is, I think, a good thing. read more

Well I definitely have had better doctor experiences. Why are all the good doctors so hard to get to see? Dr. Gilberg-Lenz was definitely nice, helpful, and took her time with me, but I waited over 1hr and 1/2 to see her. There are at least 4 doctors in the practice and it is SO busy. The doctors may be good, but Dr. Gilberg-Lenz didn't even apologize for my seriously too long wait. Her only statement was that's how long it takes to see me. And imagine waiting for over an hour amongst pregnant women and babies. Bleh. Well the doc might be nice once you finally get in, but forget it, she's not so good that I have and hour and a half to waste every time I need to see her. Boo. read more

I absolutely LOVE Dr. Gilberg-Lenz. Not only is she professional, but she really cares about her patients. She talks to you like a person and not a patient....I love that! She makes the "least fun" doctor visit of the year bearable. Her staff is also great, and so nice. I went to another OB/GYN for a little while due to convenience ended back up with the best. You won't be sorry if you go to Dr. Gilberg-Lenz. My recommendation for appts is to schedule them 1st thing in the morning, and arrive about 30 minutes early....you will probably get in and out a lot faster! read more

Dr Gilbert Lenz is an amazing doctor and there is simply no other obgyn I would go to. I have been her patient for almost 8 years. She is smart and funny, insightful and an all around amazing doctor. I have recommended her to my friends, family and associates, all of whom have had the same great experience. I have never felt rushed, uncomfortable or had any question or concern disregarded by her or any of her staff. For those who are new patients she is 100% worth the wait. read more

A caring, smart, wonderful OB gyn physician. Takes a while to get an appointment with her because she is so wonderful and lots of people want to see her, of course. read more

My first visit with Dr. Lenz she was patient answered all my many questions. I'm typically not comfortable at the gyno but felt very comfortable at my visit. She is knowledgable, kind, and diligent. Only negative is the wait, but for a good doctor worth the wait. read more

just another amazing doctor.shes real, takes her time and totally wants to make sure that the patient's well being is her priority.

I am beyond surprised at all the negative reviews of Dr. Gilberg-Lenz! From the moment I first met with her, I was thrilled to have found an OB that was so warm and knowledgeable. As a woman, over 35, trying for my second child, she told me at my first appointment that she wasn't going to bombard me with scary statistics. She just told me what I should do and we'd take it from there if I wasn't pregnant within six months. I loved this approach. I know the risks, I wanted someone to tell me it was absolutely possible (not to mention probable, given my health) and she did. Four months later, I went in with a positive pregnancy test and she called me personally, after I called the office for an appointment, to congratulate me and set a plan to monitor my levels. My pregnancy has been wonderful and she has been a Godsend. Especially after my last doctor whose bedside manner left much to be desired... I've NEVER had to wait as long as some people are saying and I never feel rushed by her. She takes her time and answers all my questions. When I was out of town and found myself pregnant and dehydrated in small town PA, she and Dale Perry were amazingly helpful and followed up to check on my progress. Everyone in the office is lovely. I'm shocked that people find them cold and unhelpful. I have had the exact opposite experience. I couldn't be happier and can't wait for Dr. Gilberg-Lenz to deliver my baby in January. read more

We found Dr. Gilberg-Lenz randomly on Yelp, so figure we should write a review of her here as thankful payback. We came to L.A. for a year and found ourselves happily pregnant here, though far from our normal home. We found Dr. GIlberg-Lenz reviewed here, and I saw her through my entire pregnancy and successful delivery of our daughter. She is kind, patient, helpful, and was completely supportive and encouraging of our having a natural, non-medicated birth. She was also super mellow and reassuring that pregnancy and birth are natural, normal processes, not medical emergencies! She was fantastic. In the end, she missed our daughter's birth by about five minutes because the nurses called her a little too late and things progressed fast at the end, but all was well that ended well. Dr. Gilberg-Lenz is super - wish we could see her for our next child! Little tip that is the same as at any OB - try and get the first appointment in the morning or after lunch to avoid waiting. read more
