My ob was not on call that evening (sad, because he's great!), but I had the privilege of receiving care from Dr. lao! My first baby I got the epidural, but this one I was hoping to go unmedicated. MAN is that so much easier said than done! As I lingered for awhile at 9/10 centimeters, I was becoming more and more tired, scared, and indecisive on my next steps for bringing my son into the world. Every contraction made me less confident that I could do it, but Dr Lao was one of the 3 in the room who reassured me and helped me through! My biggest praise has to go to her CALM CALM demeanor. What a difference that made! She was incredibly patient with my indecisiveness, never pressed me for what she wanted over what I wanted, but also (so) kindly gave her recommendations and gave me both the space to think things through and all the options before me. She also took great care and extra steps in physically delivering my son, and honored my wish to delay cord clamping until the cord turned white. Never with a hint of annoyance either. Thank you Dr. Lao!!

    I saw Dr. Diana Tran-Kim as my OB for my first pregnancy, and more or less, did not think this was…read morea good clinic. Pros: Why you'd want to go? If you plan to have a c-section exclusively and get aesthetic treatments after. Cons: After going several times, I realized this office can be disengenuous, and felt like they wanted your money more than the care. The care provided felt fake. You can tell by how bougie they look. They promote a lot of superficial services like body sculpting after pregnancy, vitamin shots, etc. You get charged for everything. And the front office doesn't always let you know this until you get sent a bill in the mail. They also would do everything they can to keep you in office, including trying to get you to schedule exclusively with their ultrasound technician, who is only there on Tuesdays. For my last ultrasound, instead of being flexible and scheduling me earlier or recommending another place for imaging, the front desk made me wait 2 weeks out for the next available appointment. By then, the tech said my baby was breech. I'm new to babies and didn't realize what that meant. I thought it meant there was time to flip him and that they would talk to me about ways to unbreech him. They otherwise just told me he was breech and did not elaborate. They also scheduled me with the nurse practitioner who also had trainees look at me without talking to me first. You can only ask so many questions. NP didn't mention anything about what a breech baby meant. Fast forward two weeks at 38 weeks. I see the doctor and she says, baby is breech and almost immediately wants to schedule a c-section. Like, whoa, I researched online and some articles say the doctor typically tells you these things starting week 30 give or take. But they went straight to the c-section. Honestly, I'm upset this was brought up so late into the pregnancy, as it could have given me more preparation time... Even mentally would have liked to have been prepared. Here, I only had two weeks to figure it out, and did not even know you had to do it before week 39..! I wasn't going to jeopardize the health of my baby and the surmounting stress of delivering so we went ahead with the scheduled C-section. But they don't care about what your outcomes are, they only care about the money. And it's really obviously that a big surgically procedure is going to pay them out way more than a natural delivery. The doctor did everything she could to convince me how good the surgery was going to be. I told her my concerns, and my biggest was the recovery that is needed with any surgery takes time. It really felt like my concerns were brushed under the rug. Also, if I wanted her to answer questions, I needed to take my partner with me, otherwise, the doctor rushed me out the door. Their office also sucks at communication. I should have taken the first red flag when I was billed for gender testing, but they chose an out-of-network lab. Not only that, they didn't tell me it was out of network. I still had to pay. And the biggest issue came when they filled out the pfml paperwork and for my work, and I had my pfml time reduced despite having a c-section. Knowing they will probably just charge me again, I didn't bother, and made sure that my time in their office after delivery was done. Months later, I'm still billed, for the hospital procedure, and other than the surgery, doctor literally only looked at me for like 5 minutes and I'm being billed, $1000+. On top of that, they upsold a silicone strip that's literally only 6 inches, and it's $80; newsflash, me: it's a fraction of the price online. RIP. I ended up calling their office one last time to close any outstanding bills, and I really wanted to laugh in their face when the admin said if I don't I wouldn't be able to come back. LOL! The assumption that I cared enough to do that. I just care about my credit score. I'm not coming back ever. Overall, I don't recommend this office for lack of sincere service, and very bad communication. For something so big like a pregnancy, I'm really disappointed and I really want to kick myself for screening this office better, and went somewhere else. This office just happened to be in the right area and the hospital that I wanted, but could have just chosen just about anybody else.

I don't know about you but whenever I am traveling, I get so busy that it's so easy to forget to free up time for yourself for routine, much-needed self-care. That's why I love going to Oh Bloom Gyn to do the EmSculpt and Clearlift because it is quick, efficient, and worth your time and money. So the EMSculpt helps target stubborn fat, build muscle, and is completely non-invasive with zero downtime! You can do it on your abdomen, arms, thighs, butt, and more. I also tried the Clearlift Laser facial, which is amazing because there's also no downtime. You can literally make an appointment during your lunch break. My skin looked noticeably brighter and clearer after just one session! Both treatments were totally painless for me, and I can already tell that with consistent sessions, the results will only get better. Other services they provide are Botox, filler injections, and hair removal too! The clinic is warm and inviting and the restrooms are clean. Parking was easy and they are located on the first floor. Dr. Tran-Kim and their nurses on staff namely, Khue and Camilla, are gentle, personable, and careful about their work. I give them my full trust and it makes me very happy they are attentive to their patients. I always leave feeling satisfied and look forward to more sessions. They are having holiday specials soon, so I cannot wait to go back to feel and look my best for the upcoming holiday season!

After my appointment, I was instructed to pick up a referral for lab work at the front desk. I gave my first and last name when asked, but the staff member handed me paperwork belonging to a completely different patient whose personal information showed. Another staff member briefly reviewed the document and confirmed it was correct. As I was leaving, I noticed the name on the paperwork did not match mine, so I brought it to the attention of a third front desk employee, who also told me it was fine. Despite being reassured multiple times, the information clearly did not belong to me. I went outside, reviewed it again, and returned because it still seemed incorrect. The same staff member then redirected me back to the original person who gave me the paperwork, without acknowledging the mistake. Finally, a fourth staff member reviewed the situation, apologized, and provided the correct documents. At least three staff members approved and allowed me to leave with another patient's medical paperwork. This is not a small error and raises serious concerns about patient safety and privacy. If this had involved condition specific lab work or if I was pregnant, the consequences could have been significant. Front desk staff should be verifying patient identity carefully before handing out medical documents. Basic checks, like confirming full name and date of birth, would prevent situations like this.

Went to my appointment and then got a surprise $500 bill for a pap. 10 min visit. Talked to my insurance, talked to the doctors office, now they say when they confirm they take your insurance and they are in network, they are not always in network. They just take your insurance but they could be out of network. So i would get in writing that they said they are in network and document who you spoke to and then pray to god you don't get a bill. Because it will cost you $500. There's a cheaper cash price that's better if you'd rather not deal with this and it's cheaper than having insurance. Lesson learned won't be going here again. This is the second time this happened to me (with two different insurances). Don't trust them

    I've been coming to see Dr. Zahedy-Kapusta for practically a decade and she always had great…read morebedside manner. This time around, I went to get my IUD removed and a new one inserted. I emailed the office staff of my new insurance card 2 months in advance and hadn't heard back. I followed up 1.5 weeks before my actual appointment date and Ari lets me know the device is covered by the insurance, but it'll be $95 for the insertion. Two days before my appointment, an office associate called to reschedule my appointment to a day earlier. I wasn't too pleased about the date change since I was coming in from out of state, but it was one day, it shouldn't have been a big deal. I really should have taken that as a red flag to just cancel my appointment. During my service, Dr. Zahedy-Kapusta recommended I get a pap smear as well, which was done. I was under the impression Dr. Zahedy-Kapusta would give the same IUD, but she did not and inserted a new one that was 20% larger than the last. She did not mention the new characteristics of the new IUD - can be kept in for 6 years, it's 20% larger in size than the last one, etc. These are items that would have been great to know before I nearly passed out from the pain. She gave me a brochure of the new IUD after the procedure was done. I also never got results back from my lab -- I love that they tell me "No news is good news. If you don't hear back, then your labs were fine." LOL??? If that experience wasn't bad enough, the office associates had billed the wrong insurance, even though I provided a copy (front and back) via email 2 months prior, provided a copy while I was in person (the office staff obtained a copy as well), and yet somehow, the wrong insurance was still billed. When I informed their offices a month when I received my EOB, they said they'll correct and re-bill the charges to the correct insurance firm and told ME to follow up in 1 month. I'm not sure why I should be the one to their jobs, but to top it off, Ari had checked with the wrong insurance altogether and now I'll have to pay out of pocket for the entire procedure. The cherry on top? Ari says it'd be $95 for the IUD insertion but the EOB states it's $195 for insertion -- so did their medical offices just bill me $95 and also bill the insurance firm? I'll never come back here again. Dr. Zahedy-Kapusta might be a great doctor, but the focus seems to have shifted from OB/GYN women healthcare to cosmetology.

Wait time can get pretty long depending on the day. For the positive, I would say that after meeting everyone, Dr. Lao was the best here. She was caring, empathic, and knowledgeable. She listened to every concern. She was also a great surgeon. My pregnancy and delivery experience were made better by her. Sarah who works the front desk was also very friendly and sweet. Now for the negative. I had an IUD placement at the office by Dr. Barr that ended up being a very traumatic experience. I received a diagnosis afterward that the IUD perforated through my uterus into another organ. I wish that the deployment was stopped if something didn't seem right. Some offices offer ultrasound-guided IUD insertion, so look into that instead. I felt like I went through hell and back the subsequent months after insertion. The office tried to fix it, but the experience just went downhill from there. I had multiple procedures, but it couldn't be removed. I requested CT/MRI scans, but didn't get them. The IUD location was discussed as possibly being in the stomach cavity, which it wasn't. Scheduling appts were also difficult. I ended up going to UCI and thankfully met an experienced Obgyn who found it through ultrasound, confirmed with MRI scans, and collaborated with another specialist to remove it for me. All in all, I would still recommend Dr. Lao for pregnancy and childbirth. However, I would be hesitant to recommend anything else here.

    I agree with everyone here: Dr. Ogez rocks. A lot of reviews for gynecological care tend to be from…read morefolks who are pregnant/are planning to be pregnant/delivered a baby, so I figured I'd throw my review in here since I do not intend to have children so my care experience is oriented around wellness visits / preventative care -- so if that's the boat you're in, read on! :) I know many forego gynecological care because it can feel invasive and nerve wracking. I certainly am someone who fits into that boat, as I have so much anxiety around doctors offices and anything medical. Also as a queer individual, there's an extra layer to reproductive care that (in my experience) is often overlooked. Dr. Ogez is so thoughtful, patient, and informative in her practice -- I've never felt safer during a wellness exam. Her bedside manner is exceptional; I felt heard in what I was saying during my visit, and also felt empowered about making choices about my body because Dr. Ogez took the time to really talk through things with me (and it is so clear that she stays very well informed on contemporary approaches to gynecological care that help empower patients.) That enough is worth 5 stars for me, but I should tack on that the office was so well organized that I think I was in the waiting room for about 3 minutes in totality? And then maybe waited alone in the exam room for about 2 minutes. The visit itself did not feel rushed at all, and yet I was stoked on how quickly I managed to get in and out of the office. Highly highly recommend.

However, this time i am so grateful for my insurance because I was able to choose whoever I wanted to go to within my network and I found her. There was no hesitation whatsoever. She is young, patient and wise when it comes to bedside manners and her making choices with you about what is best for you and your baby. The office staff is professional and friendly. The office itself is very clean. Whenever I got to my appointments the nurses were all so sweet. I never had to wait a long time at my appointments, except for one time when Dr. Ogez was not there and someone else had to see me so they had to read my chart to get familiar with my pregnancy status, which was understandable. I can't wait to share with you all my experience once I deliver. I will be back to update this review but for now, I'm blessed with Dr. Ogez as my OBGYN.
