I want to update: I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2013. Dr. LC broke the news to me in an…read moreextremely gentle and compassionate phone call. I was frightened and she kept me from freaking out and sinking into depression. Dr. Lanner Cusin not ony gave me excellent referrals for all my needs, she helped me figure out what my needs WERE! She guided me through the process, she gave me excellent tips on so many things, and supported me emotionally throughout from that day to the present. Also when I was in need of emergency feminine surgery in 2014, she came to me in the hospital at 9:00 at night with the surgeon she was recommending for me -- she whipped the nursing staff into line -- the ER staff was ignoring my acute pain -- and got my pain under control -- and I went into the O.R. at 10:00 p.m. She was reassuring and she knew my history and knew how this surgery fitted into my overal medical history. She is a phenomenal doctor!!

Dr. Lanner-Cusin is a great women's doctor. Her bedside manner is the best I have come across. I…read moreinstantly felt comfortable with her the first time I met her -- she is warm, caring, and very informative! For a women's health visit, these traits are important. Plus, procedures that you may be scared of, are pain-free in the hands of Dr. Lanner-Cusin (at least, for me). She was also able to refer me to some top-notch specialists when I needed them. Her follow-ups are great, too. She has called me to deliver news and she has responded to my e-mails. Dr. Lanner-Cusin is a rare find!

I feel bad for any woman that ever slept with him... lol. But seriously if you have a history of sexual violence or are sensitive, do not come here dude. It straight up felt like abuse to my body. I've had many Pap smears at planned parenthood and appreciate their approach. He was everything opposite of what I desire in a gynecologist. I am not a review leaving type of person but I really need to just warn other women to stay away!!

My husband wrote this about my experience with Dr. Fan and I vouch for every detail:…read more On Oct 14 2021, Dr. Fan abandoned my wife after taking on her emergency ovarian torsion case, which required surgery ASAP, thereby introducing an unnecessary additional several hours of languishing in extreme pain on the gurney as her ovary suffocated, which directly led to her loss of the ovary. He disappeared from the hospital on us without notice let alone explanation, leaving us without an ObGyn on site for hours thereafter. He was dressed to the hilt, not properly for clinical care in my perception, and he left to make a non-clinical, but professionally important appointment (according to another doctor). This is truly as simple and "movie bad guy" as it sounds. I'm not a psychologist, but I suppose he must at least have sociopathic tendencies, at least in certain circumstances, such as when a strong personal need conflicts with "just another patient." My wife only endured the delay of a long transfer from another hospital because Dr. Fan had personally accepted her for the purpose of treating her diagnosed ovarian torsion, which requires immediate surgery in order to attempt to save the ovary. By subsequently abandoning her, he introduced several more hours of avoidable delay -- on top of making fruitless the long ambulance transfer meant to access his care. His abandonment was morally equivalent to a serious act of violence, one that had a significant medical impact. If you're caught in the rapids of a river and I call out, "Don't worry, I'll save you 30 meters downstream -- no need to call for help from those others on the bank who can still hear you." But then I realize I have a haircut appointment, so you're on your own. Dr. Fan is a truly bad person. That is, this wasn't human error as in typical medical malpractice. It wasn't accidental - it was a cold choice he made over the course of an hour or two, during which he never approached the patient's bed and, according to him, never even looked at her records. A plan for surgery or otherwise was never discussed. I'm an extremely credible witness (former Columbia professor, etc.) and I urge you to contact me directly if you're even considering working with or being a patient of Dr. Fan. I'm easy to find (you can try LinkedIn or just google me -- my name, Eric Siegel, isn't too common and I'm the one who authored Predictive Analytics). I have a detailed write-up of the case, including documented proof of the timeline, and I would be glad to send it to you and/or discuss on a call. Here, Yelp only permits 5000 characters, so I'll fill that much with some more details. An esteemed Ob/Gyn Elected as Chair of the Quality Committee for Southern California Permanente Medical Group (15 years -- I can name him on request) confirms that Dr. Fan's abandonment was below the standard of care and that, "more than likely," the avoidable delay impacted the viability of her ovary. He said, "When I see torsion, every minute counts... The probability that the ovary could be saved dropped every hour, and he passed her on - I'm sorry but that's bad." Other doctors in the hospital who've also expressed concern and dismay over Dr. Fan's unexpected departure that day include the internist who was on the case for my wife's pain management during her (long) wait and the Ob/Gyn who eventually took over and performed the surgery. Each minute with ovarian torsion and its extreme pain is an eternity and each minute delay contributes to the risk the suffocating organ will be lost, as was the case here.

I had severe infection during the entire pregnancy, and not even once did he look for infection (Found out only when I was admitted when my water broke at 30 weeks!!!) ! After I changed Drs, with my second pregnancy, my new ob (without me asking), would check for infection EVERY time i would go there!! I had infection, she treated me, and my second baby boy was born full term :-) I My new ob said that testing 4 infection is one of the most common things ob-gyns do!! guess u dont know that Dr Nunes!!!

I have been seeing Dr Phillips in this group for years now and am very satisfied with him!…read more Generally speaking Dr Nunes is a doctor that is rude, has no patience, chooses the worse case solution (instead of trying the non-invasive methods first ) and he really doesn't like my husband LOL In the past 2 months we had two incidents where we came in contact with him, because he was the doctor on call. First interaction with Nunes: When I was pregnant in my last weeks (Oct 2009) my husband and daughter got very sick and we called him as an emergency call, because we wanted to know how to protect me and the baby inside of me. (with the swine flu scare, it was really not as paranoid as it seems, especially that as a pregnant woman I fall under the category of high risk people) He would not answer my husband's questions and just kept saying that I needed to go get checked out at the office the next day. He was so anally refusing to answer my husband's questions, even if we were paranoid. Did I mention that he really doesn't like my husband and he seems to not want to talk to him. Second Interaction with Nunes: I have developed a Bartholin Gland Cyst one month after giving birth. I went to see my GP, who diagnosed and explained that my OBGYN is the one to open it and drain it. He stressed that if I do not stand the pain, then I should head to the ER. Then he said that it might be best to call my doctor's office before heading to the ER. So, I felt pain and I called the Dr office. Nunes is the dr on call. I was in pain, so my husband was the one to talk to him. He obviously does not like my husband (even though they never met), but he was rude to him and didn't want to talk to him. My husband explains that I am crying and can't come to the phone, and my husband starts to explain the situation. Nunes feels the need to interrupt my husband several times, to ask him if I can come to the phone now. At some point my husband is sick and tired of this attitude and hands me the phone. I explain to him what GP said and he says to head to the ER. I explain, I have a 5 year old and a 1 month old and no one to leave them with, so my husband and I would bring them along. So, I wanted to know what draining the cyst would involve, he says surgery and general anesthesia. GP had explained that it's a catheter or an incision at the dr office with local anesthesia. I am too worried to go to the ER and be treated by Nunes, so I suck it up. Hopefully on Monday I can see Phillips and solve my problem in office.

I made an appointment in March for late June (first available for new patients), the appointment was then canceled by her office. I tried to reschedule and I was offered even later a later date and was told they could try to squeeze me in before August, but the scheduling coordinator would have to call me back. I never got a call back. I called a third time and the call desk rep told me the scheduling coordinator would have to call me back - LOL! This time I did get a call back from the scheduling coordinator and they asked me what kind of an appointment I was trying to schedule. At that point I realized, this relationship was over before it started.

Once, I was even 20-25 minutes late because I had trouble parking and I even heard her go yikes she still expects to be seen. But she's a human and most of my doctors experiences feel cold and rushed; they don't with her. She related to my nervousness about having unplanned twins and always took a very practical approach to my care thinking through complications and scheduling issues. I adore her.

I had the most unpleasant experience trying to schedule an appointment to replace my Mirena today…read more I have had a Mirena for 5 years. The GYN who put it in gave a card with a date in it to remind me to get it replaced in 5 years. I told my PCP I've had it for 5 years and wanted to get it replaced. She agreed now was a good time. The Mirena website itself says 5 years is a good time to start consider replacing it. But Dr. Farner's receptionist said they would not replace it until the 7 years had expired. How unreasonable. They are not paying for the IUD. It doesn't go in their bodies. This arbitrary decision denying me agency over my own body is simply the most preposterous encounter I have had with a doctor's office in years. Why they choose to operate this way, why they don't read the Mirena website first hand, why they think they get to decide how I handle my reproductive health, I could never understand. I will get a referral to a new doctor, who can read the Mirena website and respects my autonomy. I would never recommend them to anyone.

Sitting in a paper gown you feel a bit vulnerable. Dr. Farner put me at ease immediately. I'm very happy I'm a new patient in her practice. I highly recommend Dr. Farner if you're looking for a new OB/gyn or looking to switch to a doctor you're more comfortable with.
