Dr. Storrer has delivered my last two babies. She is wonderful. I have been a patient of hers for the past 10 years. In reading some of the previous reviews mostly negative and from years past I thought in should give mine. One of the things I love is when I was pregnant Dr. Storrer sees her own patients at every visit unlike some other OB's home have their nurse practitioners see their patients. She always addresses every question I have and asked me if there are any concerns or questions. I never feel rushed or unimportant, when I call the office knows me by name and who I am they make it feel like a more personal experience. Iesha has been working the front desk for at least the past 10 years and she is wonderful. During my pregnancy they always addressed any illnesses I had or concerns right away via telephone if need be. I always felt that they had my health in their best interest even when I wanted to work sick , I would strongly encouraged to stay home and rest since that is what my baby and I needed to get well. The delivery went well Dr store really listens to her patients as far as how they feel and what they want for their birthday plans. She is straight and to the point and won't just tell you what you want to hear but give you options at the same time. I had my baby in the early morning hours and she was in a perfectly acceptable mood. I think our physicians are human and have their good and bad days, granted we don't want them to help us on their bad ones. All that really matters is that you're and your baby's health on that special day were addressed and you weren't put in harm's way. I work with physicians and let me just say some of their bedside manners are terrible but that doesn't change the fact that they know what they're talking about and practice medicine well. I personally have never had an issue with Dr Storrer's bedside manner, she is fabulous. I recommend Dr. Storrer because I was treated exceptionally well and I think her office staff is really nice and efficient that was my experience over the last 10 years. During my last visit I asked Dr. Storrer why it seemed there was a bunch of new staff. She kindly explained what had been going on and she did not have to do that she didn't seem annoyed that I asked the question she just seemed happy to answer and gave me an honest answer. There are times where I have had to wait for her, but let's be real people these are physicians and their schedules don't always go as planned.. We just must be patient and hopefully when we need our physicians they will give us the same preferred treatment that they had given others in their time of need. These offices also have a schedule to keep therefore if we are late they are late. I I know this may seem one sided but its how it is in most offices when they only have 10 minute appointment slots and you're 5 minutes late for your 10 minute appointment that can be an issue. read more

It has been over 11 years and I still feel traumatized by my experience with this doctor. I left her exam room and her office crying hysterically and no one bothered to call me to follow up or check up on me ever. I was an existing patient and they never checked in with me to see how I was or why I never schedule my follow up appointment. She had delivered my first baby and that had gone some ok but in retrospect I now see that there were issues with that experience that I just didn't realize or understand as a first time pregnancy. This doctor has no empathy and no compassion and offers no support or education for the mother. read more

I highly recommend Dr. storrer as she is an outstanding physician. I tried to see if I can make her my GP but she said she is a gynecologist so unable to. I was disappointed because I wanted her to be my doctor for everything.. Thank you, Dr storrer. !!!! read more

Having been the on-call doctor this past weekend, Dr. Storrer was called in at 7 p.m. to deliver my daughter's baby. I mention the time because there is no excuse for the rudeness and uncaring attitude she showed to all concerned. Without barely a greeting to any of us, she started trashing French Hospital's birthing room, the decor, the lighting, the flooring, all with her back to my daughter, but certainly loud enough for everyone in the room to hear, and perhaps even out in the hallway. It was the last thing my daughter wanted to listen to after pushing for over two hours, and was not done as a means of distraction, but with total patient disregard and lack of professionalism. She never once looked at any of us in the eyes; she never once said my daughter's name or her husband's name. She was completely detached and gave the impression assisting in a birth was the last thing she wanted to do. I felt her bashing of French Hospital was politically motivated. We all felt the birthing room was very spacious, clean, comfortable, and the staff absolutely AMAZING! When Dr. Storrer came in the following day for her rounds, again, she never called our daughter by her name. In fact, she was in the room all of 15 seconds. She asked one question, did NO exam of the stitches she had put in or anything else. If I could rate her a zero, I would. She obviously chose the wrong profession. Having been in this county for 33 years, I am so pleased that our county has grown to the point where we have amazingly talented doctors here on the Central Coast, doctors who care AND are skilled at what they do. Do your homework and don't settle! read more

Do yourself a favor and trust what you're reading here with the poor reviews, as well as perhaps the ok ones. While Dr Storrer may be a competent OB, she is presumptuous, unfriendly, passive-aggressively condescending, made me feel uncomfortable and definitely not that I was in good, caring hands. I will not go back to her for absolutely any reason, nor would I recommend her to any other woman. Dr Flores-Cooper, on the other hand, is fantastic; try to see her or someone else who is actually a compassionate caregiver. read more

To start off, I've been a patient at Central Coast OB/GYN for five years. I wanted to develop a history with a doctor for perhaps when I might one day start a family and felt comfortable with. Dr. Storrer is a great doctor, one I felt like I could really communicate with and was fast and efficient when it's not a particularly fun appointment. For that alone I give the stars. Her office staff detracts from her practice. They're the ones that are supposed to be managing time and patients and do a really bad job of it. Every time I've had an appointment, I've had to schedule to be gone from work for two hours because I never knew if they'd see me on time. Consistently late. Then in 2009, I showed up for an appointment and people who had shown up after me were going in before I did, and I asked what was up, and they said they forgot to put me in a room. I inquired about a procedure which took three months to see if insurance would cover a percentage, then respond, appointment made to the actual day of. I was early but their doors to their reception area was locked. It turns out, the entire staff was down the hall having a celebratory lunch in the new office, which is great for them, but I'm stuck standing in the elevator area. Ten minutes AFTER my appointment was to start was when I was allowed into their joint reception room, where I had to fill out new paperwork since they didn't move their old files from the old office. Fast forward to today, my check up after my procedure, and I was running 5 minutes late and called them to let them know and I was informed that they wouldn't be able to see me and told me they could reschedule me. I think that's unfair. **Edit 02/09/11**: I recently had an annual exam and while I was really disgruntled by my earlier treatment, I had a much smoother experience. I'll chalk some of the bad previous experience to getting settled into the new place but I still say that you plan extra time for a visit. read more

Office staff are RUDE & very unprofessional. When you call for any questions or concerns, or something as simple as making an appt. they act like you are putting them out. They won't take any info. down, leave messages for staff or call you back. Dr. Storrer's nurse Kathy is very nice but a bit scatter-brained. She loses charts., info and never remembers why you are there! it gets very frustrating, not to mention scary! when you wonder if they are getting any test results correct or giving you false info! Dr. storrer is nice but always seems a bit rushed. I think I will look for another more professional office. read more

I was scheduled for a C-section on a Monday morning. I went into labor Sunday morning. When I called Dr. Storrer she told me first and second stage labor were not dangerous for me or the baby so she would see me on Monday. I had to labor all day even though I was unable to have a vaginal delivery which is why a C-section was scheduled. Finally about 10 p.m. Sunday night, I went to the hospital and the nurses had mercy on me. They told Dr. Storrer whatever needed to be said to have my baby delivered then. She was very annoyed to have to come in on a Sunday night. She also refused to give me the shot to stop contractions while I got an epidural. I think she didn't care about how much pain or discomfort I had which was essentially for no reason. Then I had to endure all the pain recovering from the C-section too. It really sucked. I would never recommend her to anyone! read more

Had a softball size fibroid tumor in my uterus and she performed my hysterectomy. My hematologist referred me to Dr. Storrer for a second opinion after I expressed concern about the first Obgyn's surgical experience and condescending manner. Dr. Strorrer has performed C-Sections for years on a regular basis and she instantly made be feel at ease by answering all of my questions and concerns. I started exercising 6 weeks after my surgery and six months later still feel great. Would recommend her to anyone! read more

It was time for my annual exam a couple of years ago and I just randomly picked Dr. Vivian Storrer as she could see me the soonest (her wait was ONLY 2 months). Everyone in the office is very nice and friendly, but the nurse and Dr. Storrer try to spend the MINIMUM amount of time with each patient. They rush through the pre-exam questions, not giving you a chance to speak much. The exam was fine and fast. I wished they would spend a little more time, but I can't argue with being in and out in a short amount of time. I still go back every year but bring a list of questions to make sure I get what I need before I'm pushed out the door! read more

I am completely DONE with this office. I have lived in the SLO area for 35 years, and my last OB/GYN was terrific. That office split in two, and I was supposed to see someone else, but when I showed up my doctor was out sick and I was sent to Dr. Storrer instead. I decided to give her a chance. I've read the reviews, and yes, she is a bit of a cold fish. That's OK, I don't need her to be my best friend, but OMG trying to get an answer to simple questions is difficult at best. I think she's a good doctor, but her relationship skills with basic patient care is just lacking. Again, I have no complaints about her as a doctor, but her inability to communicate well along with the utter incompetence of her staff to schedule timely appointments or to alert patients to changes (I have shown up TWICE now to find out my appointment was canceled without notification) has put this office in dead last place of businesses I would ever trust again.\ There are other good doctors and offices in town who will treat you better as a human, answer your questions more thoroughly, and respect your time. I have lost too many valuable work hours to this place, and put in too much effort trying to get Dr. Storrer to answer my questions. Basta. Enough. I'm going elsewhere. read more

Dr. Storrer knows her stuff. Great doctor! Very matter of fact and gets right to the point/ issue. I appreciate an extremely educated woman doctor who is clear and concise. Had a great pregnancy, great labor, great delivery. She is top notch! ***I know everyone has their own experience but not once in six years have I had an issue with their office staff. Get me right in with an immediate issue and always very friendly. read more

My wife and I went to Doctor Storrer because we wanted to have a VBAC delivery with our second child. Doctor Storrer was very supportive of natural birth options and said we had a high likelihood of having a successful VBAC. The prenatal care was great and Doctor Storrer answered all of our questions and put us at ease. When labor started it progressed slowly. My wife labored for several hours. When it was time to push, Doctor Storrer was there and ready to help with the delivery. The pushing resulted in a very fast birth. The doctor, nurses and NICU staff made a great team. After delivery, Doctor Storrer quietly left and allowed us to bond with our beautiful baby boy. The postnatal care has been great as well. Thank you Doctor Storrer. read more

i have to say if your going to a chc go to slo. They are way better than others areas I've tried. Keep in mind it does take forever to get attended about an hour or so. Staff is friendly but i do think that place has way to many patients but what can you expect if many who go are through medical so you have to deal. I met Dr. Storrer and i have to say she made me feel real comfortable and answered all of my questions without feeling rushed. She has made me feel like she actually knew what she was doing. i still haven't delivered so we'll see later. But i can say i feel like I'm in good hands. read more

My experiences with Dr. Storrer and her office have been very positive. Vivian Storrer has a good bedside manner, she is friendly and responsive. I do not feel rushed during my visits and I am seen promptly. She does book out quite far in advance, so you must schedule well ahead but that tends to be true with many specialists. read more

My husband and I used Dr. Storrer for both of our children's pregnancies and deliveries. She was great, patient, professional and knowledgeable. I still go to her for regular paps and "women" stuff. I highly recommend her and her staff. read more

I have been a patient with Dr. Storrer for a few years now. I enjoy her calm, cheerful demeanor and have had no issues obtaining appointments or having a long wait in the office. Her nurse Kathy is very personable and seems like she really cares about her patients. I will continue to visit Dr. Storrer and Kathy for my OB/GYN needs and as an R.N., can recommend her with confidence. read more

After many years of my wife trying to give Dr. storrer and her team opportunities to be kind, patient, offer explanations, and alternatives, my wife finally accepted that Dr. Vivian Storrer treats her patients like pieces on an assembly line. She will rush you in and out, have a terrible bedside manner, especially when you ask questions. Some doctors understand they still have a responsibility to relate to their patients, some doctors think their Ph.D. is a pass to disregard people and their concerns. Dr. Storrer is absolutely the latter. Am so happy my wife is finally happy with her new OBGYN. Visits could have been like this years ago. Dr. Storrer gave limited/poor advice regarding my wife's fibroids (straight to hysterectomy, her time is too precious to spend on discussing less evasive methods/options). Dr. Storrer will not like you (possibly even your baby) if it does not happen on its scheduled C-Sec and she has to change her schedule. Dr. Storrer treats the husband like an unnecessary component during the delivery. Dr. Storrer should really consider changing her perspective or just retire. read more

You are lucky if you get more than 10 minutes with Storrer. Her assistant, Kathy who is not a nurse, is rude and rushes you to the point of leaving you feeling like you are intruding on their schedule. Storrer doesn't care or take responsibility for herself or her staff. FIND A BETTER DOCTOR, ANYONE DESERVES BETTER TREATMENT. read more

I have had two children in the last 5 years in which were BOTH delivered by Dr.Storrer and all I can say is I will never go to any doctor but her. She is an amazing Doctor, has taken only the up most care of me and my family and never once did I question her professionalism. She always sends you home feeling safe, secure and confident In What your going through or questioning. I could go on for days about what a wonderful person she is but to sum it up, my family LOVES her. She has carried us through two successful and healthy pregnancies. I wouldn't recommend any other doctor than Dr.Storrer to anyone I care about. I almost got mad reading these comments about her, because they are completely over the top and completely misleading. I would recommend disregarding any negative review u see because like i said I wouldn't trust anyone else with my children's lives, you cant put a price on someone that gives you peace at mind when it comes to your children. read more
