I have been waiting for over a month now for a medication that was recommended to me from her. First they send the wrong prescription to 2 pharmacies, then I am informed by email from a person named Eleen, that on May 27 the doctor had submitted a new prescription for the correct medication to a Link pharmacy. Then on June 2 I received another email from Eleen that she had submitted a prior authorization to a Regency pharmacy for the new medication, & she would follow up with me !

Dr. Zafaranchi is the best women's health doctor I could have ever asked for. I've been her patient…read morefor almost 10 years, and I've never had a doctor as holistic and compassionate as she is. She truly cares about her patients as whole people and takes the time to look at every aspect of women's health. She is always patient, kind, and thorough, carefully explaining the reasoning behind any decision, treatment, or procedure. What I appreciate most is that she creates a real, personalized plan with her patients that focuses not only on treatment, but also on prevention and long-term well-being. I genuinely feel that I'm seeing a doctor who truly cares about me and my health, someone I completely trust. Her team is also incredibly kind, professional, and welcoming, making every visit a positive experience. I only wish more doctors practiced with the same level of care, compassion, and thoughtful approach that Dr. Zafaranchi brings to her patients every day.

To this day, he remains hands-down the best doctor I have ever had. From the very beginning, he was attentive, compassionate, patient, and truly present every single step of the way. He made me feel cared for, heard, safe, and supported during one of the most important times in my life. Doctors like him are incredibly rare. Even after all these years, I still speak so highly of him because the level of care he provided left such a lasting impact on me.

Forever grateful for such an amazing doctor and human being. Janet alonzo

I was very disappointed with the Doctor. He has incredible reviews, and that may be true if you are…read more"weight appropriate" but if you are overweight at all his bedside manner was not great. I am having my FIRST baby and he made me feel so anxious and worried rather than reassure me that we can get through this. He basically implied that I will have pre-eclampsia, and gestational diabetes. When I asked why he said that IVF was "unnatural" and "overweight" and "age". While I understand that all of these things may be true there is a better way to approach these things. The doctor also said "open wide" like my vagina was my mouth. It was just unnerving. If this appointment was my first time seeing my baby I would have been SO disappointed because the ultrasound images were HORRIBLE. They don't even LOOK like a baby. Luckily, I had amazing photos from the IVF doctor. It was also not just the doctor, but the intake person also asked me about a procedure I had and I couldn't recall the name of it but was saying it was called...hystero-something and she asked if I had a hysterectomy...I looked at her and said "well, I'm pregnant, so it's not that." I also asked if they had worked with any Doulas they had no clue what I was asking. It was just overall very disappointing and I will not be going back.

I should have carefully considered going here after reading Ponnie's review. The front desk…read morepressures you to pay a co-pay regardless if you know your insurance fully covers a women's wellness. I should've requested a bill instead to save me a headache. And if you are a new patient, they submit a separate procedure code to bill the insurance for an office visit. Which states there was a 30 min time period needed on their end to get to know your medical background/history. I received maybe at most 20 mins total of my appointment with little efforts to know my history. Which included a dismissal of endometriosis concerns even when my sister and mother are both diagnosed and the first time meeting this doctor ever. But doctors know best I guess. I was then owed the difference between what I had paid in the office and what was the final bill (which still shouldn't have been charged considering I was only there for a women's wellness exam). A $19 difference. The office manager took her time to even get back to me after having to call twice over two weeks of waiting. Finally, after all that, my amount that was due to me was then reduced even more so by a "card fee" that I had to cover I guess even though it did not state on the transaction or receipt. Did not want to waste anymore time dealing with this office. Just know if you are coming in for an appointment, ask thoroughly what procedure codes will be billed to your insurance so you don't expect any surprises and have them send a bill to you instead of paying up front.

Is it overstating to say that this woman saved my life? Maybe ... but I feel like she did. She…read morediagnosed my condition THOROUGHLY (it is rare), got me better in days ... and back to full health in a couple weeks ... and continues to help empower me to live and thrive as my body changes. She is also WAY more personable than a typical "in and out in 15 minutes" doctor in today's modern medical system. I have great doctors at Cedars - and she eclipses them ALL ... literally BY MILES AND MILES AND MILES. No comparison!! NONE. I am a 60+ yo woman with excellent health and insurance - but I suddenly had a "downstairs" issue - and no Cedars or UCLA Gyn's were available for two months!!! In "desperation" - I came to Yelp and found Dr. Perlow. I had really not heard of the concept of "concierge" medicine ... but had to see someone immediately. I signed up for her service and as promised by her office staff - she got me in "the next day". The NEXT DAY. Going to see her is FAR more extensive and personal than the "usual" doctor. She gave me a comprehensive "head to toe" exam. Since she is a specialist in many areas beyond OBGYN - she has the experience and knowledge to be able to diagnose and treat special conditions like mine - AND she actually spent time with me to get to know my situation. She has excellent demeanor with her patients, understands a woman's body and hormones and gives each patient the time and respect that they deserve. She was wonderful about having my partner accompany me during a diagnostic procedure in her office as well. For those of you seeing her due to having babies - never fear that this is the only time you can have a doctor this good ... you can see her the rest of your life AND SHE IS SO worth every penny. My partner actually said not to post a review so we can keep her all to ourselves - as she will soon be a new Dr. Perlow patient too! The annual charge for a concierge doctor is pricey - not going to belittle that fact - but I am prioritizing her annual fee into my budget because I feel she is just THAT good and I want to be able to reach my doctor directly (if needed) at a moments notice. You can divide up the annual charge quarterly or semi-annually to make it easier to handle. I feel blessed to have found her - and thanks to her - got treated easily and early for a rare condition that could have developed into cancer. Cost of that? Priceless. And PS - the negative reviews here??? Read them closely ... they all have to do with HOW BUSY she "was" and how difficult it "was" to get in to see her BEFORE she became a concierge doctor - SINCE SHE WAS (is) SO popular!!!! There "IS" a reason why she was / is so popular that she can now charge an annual fee - because she is the BEST, most caring and personal doctor you will ever have - at any life stage you are in.

Dr. Cotter starts arguing with me about everything that I had to say. After the pap before I knew it was done. She probably stuck 3 to 4 fingers up my ass without my consent, I was humiliated, and nearly gasped. When she was done she then replies all good. OB/GYN's should be doing a rectal exam. First off, my first OB that I had for years who has now retired never did a rectal exam the second OB who specializes in pregnancies never gave me a rectal exam. If that is her thing that she does being a new patient, she should have asked me first for my consent and asked if I wanted a nurse in the office. She did neither of the two. Nor did she walk me through which she was going to do and she was so rough. I wanted to cry I could go on and on why I walked out of that office feeling so violated. I will be taking the next steps in this matter.
