Apart from her being extremely nice, she is well informed with any questions or doubts we had. Every visit was informative and she always seemed happy to see us as well. Every time we thought we had done our research on certain tests or stages in pregnancy, she always gave us more information and details on what certain tests do and why it would be important to do them. She doesn't have the old school mentality of a dr for a pregnant woman. She doesn't give you BS answers. She's very straight to the point when it comes to information (which is one of the reasons why my husband and I love her) She makes suggestions but she clearly says "It's however you feel though. If you feel comfortable doing 'xyz' then try it out" she never shuts down any inputs that we may have had. She encourages us to do what we may think is right for us. We drive all the way from Rancho Cucamonga to Orange just to see her because she has made our first pregnancy experience so amazing. We are currently pregnant again and are so excited we'll get to share a second experience with Dr.O'day. We wouldn't trade her for any other OBGYN.

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.

This is my second…read morepregnancy, first pregnancy I was on a whole other boat and was not content with either of my obgyn's. 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.

I have thought about writing this review for some time now. Now gone through 2 pregnancies and…read morehaving some experience being a mom I have come back to share my experience so no other first time pregnant person has to go through what I went through. I chose st Joseph based on a referral from someone, and I wanted to see Janis fee, I show up to my first dr apt and I'm assigned to karen hsu, already this should have been a major red flag. But they say sometimes her patients see Karen as Janis is busy. So I go with it, and immediately don't feel any connection to the dr, I felt like she must have been a new OB based on just overall me not feeling comfortable. I don't know what to expect of course I'm pregnant for the first time and this is back in January of 2021 when things with Covid were still happening so my husband couldn't come to me to any appts. I felt very in the dark about what questions to ask being newly pregnant and wasn't given any helpful info regarding anything to expect and the questions I did ask seemed to have a very generic answer and made me feel incompetent and not cared for or like i was reassured about having nausea. I eventually realized in my gut I needed to change offices and got a referral to a different OB at Hoag medical group through orange coast women's and after my frost appt I realized what a night and day difference the level of care was. One other major thing was the ultrasounds abs blood work having to be scheduled on my own time and outside their office was a huge inconvenience it made no sense why I wouldn't be able to do them in the same building on the same day. The staff here were also just generally unprofessional not kind or helpful when scheduling appointments. I don't recommend Karen Hsu to anyone looking for OB care, I highly cannot recommend St Joesphs to anyone especially as a first time pregnancy, and after the experience I had with the other medical group I am so glad I avoided them at all costs.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience trying to schedule an appointment with this OB/GYN…read moreoffice. For the past two weeks, I have been going back and forth with the front office staff just to get an appointment scheduled. What's ironic about all this is, I was transparent with the front office in letting them know my pregnancy was achieved through IVF. The office informed me they could not schedule me until I provided proof of a viable pregnancy through an ultrasound and information on my frozen embryo transfer. I had to wait a whole week to be seen by my out of state IVF fertility doctor to get this ultrasound done. When I finally have this information and I call them back so I can scan it. I am told they only accept fax or walk in to drop of paperwork so then can review it and contact me if they can proceed with scheduling. I am 6 weeks and 2 days pregnant. On my ultrasound it was found the pregnancy is viable and there is already heart beat. Yet, this office is unwilling to see me. This has been incredibly frustrating, especially during such an important and emotional time. As a patient with an IVF pregnancy, I expected better communication, clearer instructions, and more support from the front office. Instead, the process has felt confusing, stressful, and unnecessarily difficult. I hope the office improves its scheduling process and communication with patients, especially those going through high-stress pregnancies. What's more ironic in all this is if I hadn't informed them about my IVF treatment they would have added me on the schedule without even knowing and would have confirmed that I am in fact pregnant. This office obviously does not want my business. My only mistake here was trusting my pregnancy with this doctor and their staff.

Dr. Bignami was my OB in my first pregnancy. In many ways, I found her competent and compassionate…read more However, I believe that two of Dr. Bignami's actions have harmed me greatly. Action 1: I made multiple requests to Dr. Bignami for an elective c-section based on personal/family medical history. However, Dr. Bignami repeatedly told me and my husband that I could not have an elective c-section because her hospital and/or her "board" would not allow it. Grievance 1: I have since been told by leadership at Dr. Bignami's hospital that patients do, in fact, have every right to an elective c-section, and that I should have been allowed one. This leadership went on to acknowledge that hospitals often require low c-section rates to receive certain financial incentives. I can only imagine that such policies could put pressure on individual OBs to keep their personal c-section rates low. Action 2: As I believed Dr. Bignami that I was not allowed a c-section, I agreed to an induction of labor and gave birth vaginally. Dr. Bignami delivered my baby and stitched my tears. When I asked about my tear severity, Dr. Bignami said that it was only 2nd degree (typical). However, to my husband and me, Dr. Bignami seemed surprised and uncomfortable discussing my tear. She also made comments that I considered inconsistent with her diagnosis, like that I should expect pain for at least a year. Dr. Bignami's behavior, combined with my difficult postpartum recovery, made me suspect that I had actually torn more severely. Grievance 2: As a result of this suspicion, I went to a new OB in a different hospital for my second baby and expressed my concerns to this new OB that my tears from my first birth were somehow more severe than diagnosed. However, in my opinion, this new OB placed greater weight on Dr. Bignami's assessment that I had only 2nd degree tears. She told my husband and me that she could not advise a c-section to a second-time mother based on Dr. Bignami's assessment of my birth injuries. Thus, I gave birth vaginally, against my wishes, a second time. After the birth of my second child, my new OB said that I had torn to 3rd degree (a severe tear). She also said that she believed that I had probably torn to 3rd degree in my first birth (the one with Dr. Bignami) as well, due to the scar tissue exposed by my new injury. Having suffered a previous 3rd degree tear would also make the 3rd degree tear I suffered in my second birth less anomalous, insofar as I have understood birth injury statistics in the primary literature. Harms: I have now sustained what are believed to be two 3rd degree tears. If I had instead received the c-section I requested from Dr. Bignami, I believe that neither tear would have occurred. If Dr. Bignami had instead classified my first tear as 3rd degree, I believe I would have had a c-section for my second birth and my second tear would not have occurred. While recovering from my first tear was challenging, the long-term effects of my second tear have been life changing. I suffer daily fecal incontinence and various other pelvic symptoms. This has robbed me of so much joy, freedom, and professional opportunity - it feels like a large portion of who I am has died. Moreover, the damage from my tears is so extensive that some doctors have cautioned me about having a third child, even by c-section, as any additional stress on my already damaged pelvic region could exacerbate these already debilitating issues. For my husband and me, the potential preclusion of our long-intended third child is something that we can only liken to a loved-one's death. I appreciate that Dr. Bignami has an incredibly challenging profession, but there is no valid reason for the unnecessary and avoidable suffering that I experience every day. Adhering to arbitrary c-section quotas and avoiding the guilt/scrutiny that their consequences evoke is not worth a woman's life, but I believe that much of my life has been forfeited to it all the same.

I don't understand why there's not more reviews here. This is my second time having an appointment…read morehere for an ultrasound. The first time, we waited 2 hours after our appointment time at 9:30am at the Santa Ana location to be seen for less than 10 minutes total. This most recent time I scheduled my second appointment ahead of time ~ 4 weeks after my first appointment. I set the appointment for a Tuesday, at 9:30am again. I am in the process of switching doctors so I still had to go to this clinic once more. I get a reminder call saying my appointment was at a different time, on a different day. I just started a new job and had already called off since they couldn't accommodate initially. I could not make this change in my schedule without notice! I call back after receiving the auto call, and asked why my appointment was changed. The girl on the phone says "I'm really sorry, my coworker is new and I think she made a mistake. The appointment was made for that day but then she cancelled it right after by accident and it was never put back on the schedule for this day, so we moved it to another day/time. Without any kind of notice until 1 day before........ I fortunately asked if I could please keep my original appointment because that Is the only day I could come at the moment and this appointment is very important. She accommodated me and said she would squeeze me in. She told me "between you and me, we don't go based off of appointments. We go based on who arrived first. So arrive there before 8:30 so you can get seen first and have no wait." I agreed and thanked her a bunch of times! I was glad she could accommodate for her coworkers mistake and I was not upset at all. I understand. New workers make mistakes. Anyway she recapped me on my appointment and I recorded it. 8:30 on this date, at the Garden Grove location. I still have her saying the garden grove location. So, the day comes and I arrive at about 8:10am at the Garden Grove location and 8:30am comes. Then, 8:10am comes. Nobody answers the door when we knock.. I call a couple times. No answer. I can hear the phone ringing from outside the door so I assume nobody is there at all. Then, I call the Santa Ana location to see if there's been another mistake. Someone answers on my second call thankfully and tells me my appointment was changed to the Santa Ana location. What?????? Without notice?? No call, text? Anything? I'm sooooo frustrated at this point because of the back to back issues. I ask if they can accommodate yet once again. She hesitated and said yes you can. If I can come now I can be seen right away. So, I make the 10 min drive from the GG location to the SA location and check in. It's now 2 hours and 30 minutes from the time I walked in here and nobody has said anything. I'm frustrated and am not coming back. The one star is for Dr. Forghani. He is very nice, respectful, and has a good bedside manner. You guys seriously need to figure out this scheduling issue because I'm not the only one who is experiencing this.
