I saw the nurse here and she was so dry and rude. I said it felt like I was peeing glass and she said "well that's a new one." Excuse me?

Dr. Brodkin has been my first (and only) female care doctor since I was 16, so I have been going to her for roughly 10 years now. She's been with me through high school, college, grad school, and my first job - and she remembers both my whole personal story and medical history without any reminders by me. She is professional and consistently listens to my concerns and translates it in a way to adjust my healthcare plan. It's hard to find that individualized of care. I have always been rather squeamish of doctors and have a low pain tolerance, and she has been understanding and helpful. Dr. Brodkin makes adjustments to help me. With my new job's insurance, she has also helped me find reasonable-costing prescriptions. I do not know the lab woman's name, but she is also excellent for all blood testing purposes. (I get my thyroid checked regularly due to hereditary issues). The needle incision for my blood draw is never larger than the size of two freckles and does not hurt me at all. Dr. Brodkin also has had staff watch over me after blood draw tests to ensure I do NOT leave feeling unstable or unwell. I do not know many medical professionals that care for me that much. The negative reviews are likely in reaction to the changes in the office location. Due to another doctor leaving the practice, Dr. Brodkin and her staff had to move. There were previously some growing pains in terms of wait time at the new office. I do wish to note, however, that I would be MORE than willing to wait 30 minutes, or even an hour, to specifically get care from Dr. Brodkin. It matters that much to me. That's not necessary, though. I just went there this afternoon, and my wait time was 10 minutes. TL;DR: Great care over my past 10 years. Highly recommend. read more

I wish I could give Dr. Brodkin more stars. I have been seeing her and Wendy for the last 12 years. While I have always had great experiences during my annual visits, I recently went through my first pregnancy and delivery with them. I can't say enough good things about my experience. My questions were always answered and I never had any concerns about the care my baby and I were receiving. I have recommended Dr. Brodkin to so many friends, and will continue to do so! My delivery and recovery were both much easier than I expected and I'm sure the wonderful prenatal care I received was a huge contributor to that. The office staff is so friendly and treat you like family, and they always went out of their way to schedule appointments that worked best with my schedule. The office is always clean and comfortable, and the new exam rooms are absolutely beautiful. Now that my baby has arrived I will go back to my yearly visits, and I am genuinely sad to not have to visit monthly. I plan on always using Dr. Brodkin for any future children I have, and for my general Obgyn care. read more

I lived in Arizona long enough to have only one Pap smear at this office. When I called today to get my records sent to my New York doctor, the receptionist was extremely rude and short. Her demeanor was super unprofessional. Like I was burdening her with my phone call... This is your actual job. If you don't like it, do something else. To obtain my own records (one visit) it's $35. In addition to the fee, I have to find the form on their website and fax it to them. Who has a home fax machine in 2017? To avoid that fee, I have to go to my new doctor's office (ahead of my scheduled appointment) and sign a form so that they can request the records on my behalf. My actual appointment in 2016 wasn't anything to rave about. NOT accommodating, NOT nice about being unaccommodating. Pretty much the worst of both worlds. Judging from the other reviews, they have other unsatisfied patients. read more

If you want a physician who is genuine, with a caring heart, Dr. Brodkin is the one. Her own team is professional for your healthcare needs. Her new office environment is a testimony to this. I have followed Dr. Brodkin since 2005 because I finally had experienced a doctor with feelings, who really LISTENED! Many others are too busy to listen to your questions and experiences, but Dr. Brodkin listens w/ her ears AND eyes!! Having this innate ability allows her to recommend other testing for your benefit. THANK YOU, Dr. Brodkin, I am forever grateful! read more

3 1/2 stars? How? I LOVED Dr Brodkin as my OB. It's really hard to love an OB! She's so friendly and just super blunt, which I loved. The only thing I wished was slightly different is I felt in the dark with upcoming appointments. For example, if I were scheduled for a scan, I didn't know until I got there. That was frustrating as a first time mom but with pregnancy, sometimes you just have to roll with it. My biggest disappointment was that she couldn't deliver my baby. I had to be induced on a day where she had just been on call for five days straight and had scheduled c-sections for two days after I was induced. So that sucked but totally out of her control. I ended up in the hospital twice before I was induced and she visited me every time to check up on me. I ended up having some complications and needed additional after care and I 100% knew she was concerned about me as a person. I had to call her at midnight (she was thankfully the on-call doctor) after the baby was born and she took all the time in the world to answer my concerns, even in the middle of the night. I also ended up in the hospital 2 weeks after delivery and she called me after I was released to check up on me. Each step of the way, she was also making sure I was doing okay. I am absolutely going to continue to see her as my GYN and if we have another baby, I'm certainly not switching to anyone else ... maybe this time she'll actually get to deliver the new baby haha read more

Dr. Brodkin, Wendy, and her team have been nothing but short of wonderful. I recently had a medical procedure and there was little to no pain and she was very thorough with the process. read more

Clean office with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Appointment was on time and the NP was very thorough. I would definitely recommend this practice. read more

I finally found a gyno I liked! And then he gave up his practice. And then he took it up again. And then I moved... We all know how it is trying to find the right doctor, specifically the right gynecologist. I don't know about you, but once I find a good one, I will drive. And I do drive for Dr. Brodkin- from Chandler. Dr. Tara Brodkin is young, friendly, a good listener, and above all extremely professional. She is willing to answer patients' questions over the phone. She is patient with those patients who might spend too much time on Web, MD and self- diagnose on their blackberries while in her waiting room. The office is a nice place to be; the waiting room is well kept and welcoming. The staff are friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend Dr. Tara Brodkin. read more

Wow! I have been to several OB practices here in Scottsdale and sad to say, have not been very impressed with any of them (usually over worked doctors and poorly runned or staff issues). What I usually experince is grumpy front office staff. Could never figure that out! Seems like it would be a great job to have, beats digging ditches or working at Walmart! This place is wonderful! The front desk staff was nice, friendly and professional (front desk person Christina was a real stand out) She was really professional on top of things and bonus? Really nice! Dr. B's medical assistant was great too. The doctor, Tara Brodkin, MD was amazing. Professional and had a WONDERFUL bed side manner. So happy to have found this practice. Wish I had known of this practice when I delivered my son five years ago! Best part, my insurance is covered by them! Highly recommended! Keep up the good quality service and good, friendly attitudes at your practice! Being a good doctor is one thing, but keeping your staff professional and with nice attitudes towards patients can be the real challenge! This practice is run very well from what I experienced! read more

I have to agree with the other reviews about the bad customer service. Wendy and Vicky are the only people with any kind of customer service. It seems to have only gotten worse over the past 4 years. There's a bald guy who sits at the front who's SUPER creepy and rude IMO. There are so many other options in the direct area so I decided to leave and couldn't be happier with my new doctor. I agree with other reviewers that I felt retaliation for leaving. Very toxic business environment. read more

For menopause and natural hormone replacement, stay away from her. Horrible experience. She basically refused to help me. She needs to stick to delivering babies. read more

Dr. Brodkin is the BEST...and don't you deserve the BEST?!?! She is concerned for your well being as a patient and willing to find the answers to your questions. Highly recommend! Email for specific questions :) read more

Dr. Brodkin delivered my baby in January 2018. She was not my doctor at the time, but she was the doctor on call. She did an excellent job, and was so kind. She did need to see me up "down there" and she did such an excellent job 3 days after having my baby there was no pain! I recently went to her new office, and while I would recommend some cabinets be added in the exam room, Dr Brodkin was still on top of her game and explained thoroughly what I needed to do to "fix my issue" read more

I honestly cannot recommend Dr Brodkin enough!! She has been my doctor for a few years now, and I am so happy that I found her! She is highly skilled, takes her time to really listen, and has always made me feel like she really cares about me. Not to mention she is so nice to talk to, she makes you feel like a friend. Doctors like this are so rare and so hard to find, which is why I am writing this to hopefully help others find her. She was an incredible doctor throughout my very difficult pregnancy. I saw her every week for a while so I became quite acquainted with the entire office! They are all AMAZING! She delivered my son via C-section, and though I am a naturally anxious person, I knew my baby and I were in the best hands possible. I am currently seven weeks postpartum, and couldn't be happier with my incision or my follow up care. I recommend her to all my girlfriends, specifically ones trying to get pregnant, for a reason- she is the best! I just love her and her entire practice, Scottsdale is lucky to have her! read more

If I could give zero stars, that would be my choice. After waiting for over an hour past my appointment time, and not seeing a health care professional, nor being notified that they were running this late, I left the office, apparently unnoticed. This is rude, unconscionable (non) service, to which no one should be subjected. read more

Dr. Brodkin delivered both my baby boys over the last 2 years and I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with her, Christina, Wendy and the whole staff. Dr. Brodkin is down to earth, easy to talk to and makes you feel comfortable. She switched offices when I was at the 20 week mark this time because the Dr. who owned the previous practice retired with very little notice, and that was a little confusing. Dr. Brodkin called me personally to assure me that she would be taking care of me and gave me info about the new office. I had to have c sections with both babies and my incision looks great and I had no complications from the surgeries. I will be going back to her in a few weeks for an IUD and will trust her with any future OB/GYN needs. Highly recommend! read more

I cannot say enough amazing things about Dr. Brodkin! As a first time mom, she provided the best experience for me during all of my appointments throughout pregnancy and was incredible during labor & delivery, and I am so grateful we chose her as my OB. She is professional, friendly, and answers any questions and concerns with honesty. She truly cares for her patients and made my husband feel welcome at every appointment. We love you Dr. Brodkin!! read more

Tara Brodkin, MD - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me

I am so grateful that I gave this place a shot! I reviewed the location before making my first appointment and couldn't agree more with every one of the satisfied women. I would NOT recommend to visit the phoenix location as the atmosphere is uninviting and the staff is very unprofessional, however the Scottsdale girls ROCK! They are patient, very kind and extremely efficient. They have a really nice office too. Erin is great, Wendy is amazing and there is another nurse who I can't remember her name but she has only been there for a few weeks and she is phenomenal. I am so lucky I found this place and will never go anywhere else! ***Update Ironically I decided to transfer my records to a new obgyn in the area today. Things have changed and it has clearly affected the values of this office because I was treated with utter disrespect on several occasions and the final straw was today....when I do rudely interrupted the office by trying to make an appointment! Like how could that bother someone who works at the front desk.....???? This girl was so rude, I hung up and made an appointment across the street. read more

Disgusted with how this operation/clinic is run. They knock and enter simultaneously while my wife was naked and they had other clients in the hallway look right in The scheduling department is rude, unprofessional, and Not organized. The staff stopped halfway through her blood work to look for something that wasn't relevant to what needed to be focused on, my wife, a client that you ignored right in the middle of an appointment. First time here we weren't even given any explanations on the process at hand. I had to stop the nurse and ask her to slow down and explain what was going on. If it's your first pregnancy, stay away, find another place better suited for first timers. If you're a husband reading this and your number one concern is your wife, do not come here. read more

We respect and appreciate Dr Tara Brodkin. She is honest, experienced and listens to your requests as far as birthing goes. My wife and I desired to have an all natural birth, which we prepared for. Dr Brodkin was supportive and real with us throughout the pregnancy and did an excellent job delivering our first son. We received great pre natal care as well. We highly recommend Dr Brodkin! read more

Dr. Brodkin has been my OB/GYN for almost 15 years. She has always provided phenomenal care over the years and always remembers personal and medical details from visit to visit. I had my first baby this year and she saved my life and my baby's life after unexpected pregnancy complications. Many of my symptoms were "normal" pregnancy symptoms but she listened to all my concerns and was able to diagnose and treat me right away before things got out of control. I can't imagine having another OB after everything she did for me and my family. Dr. Brodkin is so caring and made extra visits to me in the hospital and even called me on weekends and after hours to check on how the baby and I were doing. My family and I love Dr. Brodkin! read more

I LOVE Dr. Brodkin. She was extremely supportive before my pregnancy, throughout my pregnancy, and ESPECIALLY during labor/aftercare. I truly appreciated her quick wit but also her overall caring demeanor. She always made me feel right at home and never like I was stupid for asking questions. The appointments took longer (approx 1 hr) but that's because she focused on patients one at a time. It's nice to get in and out but I'd rather see someone personable (web md can offer me cold quick answers.) Dr. Brodkin never rushed the appointment and was happy to fully explain things. I had a terrible experience with my OB in my last pregnancy as the previous doc. The previous docs office was super clean and my appointments were quick (15-20 mins) but she just made me feel like a paycheck. Dr. Brodkin was such a breath of fresh air and showed me that it's possible to actually like your OB and trust that they are advocating for you! read more

Dr. Brodkin is very thorough and takes her job very seriously, which I greatly appreciate. She recently delivered my son via c-section. I was considered high risk due to previous pregnancy complications and RBC antibody/titer. Dr. Brodkin monitored me very closely to ensure my baby was safe and healthy the entire pregnancy. We were already planning for a c-section at 39 weeks; however, due to an elevated titer level at 37 weeks, Dr Brodkin decided to take the baby out early. And are we happy she made that call! Had our baby stayed in for another 2 weeks, we may not have been so lucky to have a healthy baby. The staff at her office are very kind and I could tell they really cared about me and my baby. I felt very welcomed each time I went in for an appointment. I will continue to see Dr Brodkin for all OBGYN appointments. Thank you again Dr Brodkin and team!!! read more

Dr Brodkin is a very down to earth yet professional GYN. She makes you feel comfortable and tells it like it is. I appreciate her honesty and the way she prioritizes what is best for the patient. She is funny and real which is refreshing and hard to find. I also want to say that NP Vicky is wonderful. She took my calls when I was going through a bit of an emergency and helped me through a very stressful time. Really all of the staff here are excellent but Vicky, NP Ana and Dr Brodkin are the best! I highly recommend. read more

Terrible bedside manner! I've never had such a rough, rushed exam before in my life. I've had a dozen or so providers over the years and she is definitely the worst. I feel assaulted and violated after the appointment. The lack of concern to listen to what brought me there was reprehensible. DO NOT GO HERE! read more

Update - I went back 6 months later and got really disappointed with how my medical records was all messed up. I needed to find out if I was pregnant via a blood test, but then she sent me for a whole different reason and the phlebotomist got confused because the order was written for was blood testing related to PCOS. I have called a couple times to get an update too but the girl who picks up the phone I guess was having a bad day and had an attitude over the phone. I'm sad this clinic is just falling apart each time I go because I still see so much potential. Will probably have to find another OBGYN provider. read more

Me and my girlfriend were pregnant at the same time and chose this doctor to guide us through our pregnancies and both regretted. The office stuff is not carrying, every time I would come for a check the nurses (all of them) were chewing gums right into my face, while talking to me, taking my blood exam or checking me up! I find it rude and unprofessional. The doctor is rough and careless as well. All they do is ask you for money to pay your delivery fee upfront, they force you to sign the contract which you don't have to do, but they insist! After I called my insurance right in front of them and confirmed that I don't have to pay anything they finally left me alone. Same story with my girlfriend. They are always double-triple booked it will take you forever to be seen. The office seems pretty old and bit up. We both switched to another doctor after unpleasant experience here. read more

I don't even know where to begin... Rude staff, they run unneeded tests to get extra insurance money, and they never call you back when they say they will! read more

I have never had a doctors appointment experience that I could say I enjoyed Until coming here. Dr Brodkin is the best, love her. Being an ICU nurse myself, I love her direct and thorough communication, as well as her attentiveness to all my questions. She is fantastic. She came highly recommended by many of my friends and coworkers and has definitely met my expectations. Christina at the front desk is always sweet and cheerful, what a nice to change to actually have a nice interaction at the front desk of a doctors office! She has been so helpful on every phone call and helped me find resources on out of the office things for me and baby as well. She's awesome, always a joy to see her there! Alice was our US tech and so sweet and patient! Bring our first baby and knowing NOTHING about the pregnancy process gong into it, she took extra time to go over our scan with us and get us some Fun baby pictures :) Very thankful for our doctors office! read more

Waited for over three hours past my appointment, then 45 min in the Dr. office. I came to see Dr. Brodkin because of the reviews, however she could not examine me because she was too busy. The front desk person was nice. But the nurse practitioner who did my exam was quite catty. She was short with me and was really annoyed with my questions. Oh well, there are many more baby doc in the valley! read more

I've been seeing Dr. Brodkin for about 11 years! She is Amazing, I've had many problems. I've tried so many OB's in the arrowhead area and no one could figure what was wrong with me. I co-worker told me about her, her daughter had been seeing Dr. B for a few years. I took the chance and had the best experience ever. Dr. B was the only one who can figure out what was wrong with me! She is amazing and I recommend her to anyone. I am now pregnant but have moved from phx, I so wish I could take Dr. B with me! I'm so sad she won't be able to deliver my first baby! Yes the wait to see her lid long but worth it. I would drive 40min just to see her, I would drive two hours! She knows her stuff! Office isn't that clean (my opinion) the seating smells-they need to all be replaced! The front desk Christina is amazing everyone else I don't care so much for! The girl who makes the appointments has a bit of an attitude, she miss leads you-for exp: I asked can I just see Dr. B, not Wendy, she tells me yes I will only see Dr. B....well she never made my appointment to just see Dr. B. She did it to me THREE times, by the third time I was upset and she decided it was ok to yell at me and give me an attitude, she a little trashy! I would see Wendy for my OB check ups, not crazy about her, I feel she is a little stuck up and rude at times. Dr. Brodkin is a great caring doctor! P.S. No I am not related to Dr. Brodkin! read more

I absolutely love Dr. Brodkin. I have had 2 babies in the last two years and both of my experiences were amazing. Although Dr. Brodkin is a busy physician, she is always thorough, answers all of my questions and makes me feel very comfortable. She is very straight forward and honest and I love that about her. Let's face it, who likes going to the gyno? Honestly, because of Dr Brodkin, I don't mind it at all. She has a great personality and bedside manner. She is caring and makes you feel at ease. She is an excellent surgeon (i am a C-section patient) and calmed any concerns or fears during my pregnancy (I was always a little anxious about surgery). My delivery and recovery couldn't have been any better and I owe that to Dr. Brodkin. She checked on me everyday in the hospital and truly cared about my recovery. Cristina, who works in the front office always works with my schedule, especially my second time around when I was going to my appts with my toddler in tow. She is the sweetest and very good at what she does. It is always a pleasure walking in and seeing her face and having a good laugh with her. Wendy the NP is wonderful and always takes her time with me during my appts, answering all of my questions. Vicky the MA is so great and always takes excellent care of me as well. I was referred to this office by my best friend when I moved to AZ. I am so grateful for Dr Brodkin and her team. Thanks for taking such great care of my babies and I! read more

I've been seeing Dr. Brodkin for 4 years. She is friendly, professional and very kind. She always takes the time to answer all my questions. She even calls me herself with lab results and never acts rushed. I had a miscarriage and had difficulty conceiving again, so she referred me to fertility doctor. She was very caring through this difficult time in my life. I was never able to conceive again, and when all was done, I went back in to see her, she didn't shy away from telling me how sorry she was for my situation. She was very compassionate. I will always love her for that. She is the best! read more

I am been seeing Dr. Tara Brodkin for 12+ years, since my OB/GYN Dr. retired! She was recommended to me by a friend of mine who spoke volumes of her incredible personal skills both as a professional and personally. Dr. Brodin takes the time to ask about me, my family and extended family along with asking if there are any questions I may have about the ever changing woman's body. She listens, we laugh, she advises and cares! She is totally honest with you and listens to you! I am referring her to my daughter who due to OBAMACare needs to find another OB/GYN and I have total faith in Dr. Brodkin and her awesome interpersonal skills, ability to understand where you are in life and care for all of it while being so professional. Cindy D. read more

I have gone to Dr. Brodkin for 2 years now and have never not had a problem with scheduling, prescription refills, or their office. I recently had an IUD put in and a procedure that should only last 10 minutes took 35 minutes. I was in pain the entire time and the nurse who took my blood pressure in the beginning referred to what she was going to use as a "torture device", this is with me coming in already nervous about the procedure. After that I was prescribed antibiotics because they did such a shawty job, and then their office sent the wrong prescription to the pharmacy. It's been 3 days and I still do not have my prescription, and now they are not responding to my voicemails about calling the pharmacy to authorize my insurance and get me the proper prescription. I cannot imagine why anyone trusts this office with the delivery and care of their baby. I will never be returning here, I beg that you do not either unless you want to be in pain and stressed out. ***Note had to call the emergency line for my prescription and had to wait an hour and a half before I even got a response. Absurd. read more

Dr. Brodkin is a genuinely concerned and competent ob/gyn! I've moved around the country and had both of my kids with different ob's many years ago in different states. Dr. Brodkin is an ob/gyn like years past when physicians could really get to know you and spend time with you. She is a patient's doctor. I highly recommend her for whatever your needs may be. read more

I whole-heartedly can't say enough positives about Dr Brodkin and her staff. I moved back to Arizona mid pregnancy, and am so glad my sister referred me to Dr Brodkin. She made the transition seamless and stress free and the care I received was far superior to my previous dr. The office is ran super smooth and organized, and I never had to call to get my lab results. Wait times were never more than ten minutes, and I was always in and out in a flash. Dr Brodkin is incredibly smart, personable and on top of her game. I could not have had a more pleasant experience delivering my first baby, and I would not even hesitate using her for the next. Finding a good OB can be challenging, and I am so glad I found my OB for life. read more

I love Dr. Brodkin! She's very direct yet caring. She is very passionate about my health, and that's really refreshing. Been seeing her for about two years and decided I'd better share the love. I also love the staff - they greet me so warmly every time I come into the building. I've never experienced the rudeness mentioned in some other reviews, so not sure what to tell ya. I just know I love this practice. read more

I had a great experience here this week. Christina at the desk is wonderful and efficient! The MA (I forgot her name) was also nice. I saw Wendy the NP for the first time and she was great! (Being a nurse myself, I'm picky!). :) She was thorough and pleasant, answered all of my questions and didn't make me feel rushed. She was positive and I would go back to her anytime. I like the thoroughness of the office too....they refer you for your yearly mammogram and also will schedule for a pelvic ultrasound to be sure no signs of ovarian or uterine cancer. Great preventative care. I look forward to seeing Dr. Brodkin for my (hopeful) pregnancy, as she was one of my docs when she was new back in 2002 and was wonderful. The office is lovely as well. No complaints! read more
