    Dr. Pravdin is wonderful! She is informative and nonjudgmental.

    The clinic's website now redirects to a completely unrelated site.

    I would give 0 stars if that were an option. This clinic is terrible. Dr. Radford overprescribes and overtests. I had a normal pregnancy with no signs of miscarriage, but the doctor preordered 20 weeks of high-dose progesterone without testing my progesterone level. My blood glucose was normal, but he prescribed high-dose metformin. Ironically, he refused my request for an A1c test. Without any signs or evidence, he also emphasized that I was at high risk of miscarriage, causing tremendous stress. The doctor also ordered many genetic tests that insurance did not cover, even though the front desk told me everything was covered. More than a year after the testing, I am still dealing with enormous bills exceeding $15,000. Thankfully, I transferred to another clinic and skipped the additional tests Dr. R ordered, or the bill would have been even higher. After speaking with several other patients, I learned that overprescribing and overtesting are common at this clinic, particularly expensive medications while cheaper ones are ignored. If you choose this clinic, be prepared to spend more than half a day at each visit. I have had a 6:30 a.m. appointment and seen the doctor at noon, and a 3 p.m. appointment and seen the doctor at 9 p.m. They do not tell you when the doctor will see you; they simply make you wait.

    Terrible. They make you wait at least 1-1.5 hours because they overbook their schedule.

    Dr. Pravdin is an incredible gynecologist and person. I have visited many doctors, but none showed the compassion and care that she did. After experiencing multiple miscarriages, we had lost hope, but she restored our faith and referred us to an excellent reproductive specialist. Throughout my pregnancy, I faced many challenges, but her support and confidence reassured me. Thanks to her and we are forever grateful to Dr. Pravdin!

    My experience at this office was excellent. Every staff member was friendly and helpful. Leilani at the front desk is the kindest and most helpful person I have encountered when visiting a medical office—she is wonderful! Dr. Rydfors was also excellent. He explained many things very clearly to my husband and me, listened, and cared. I was very impressed by this place. There was a wait for my appointment, but I had been thoughtfully warned several times before arriving, so it was not a problem at all.

    Dr. Swierz is very kind and patient. My wife likes her very much. We have been coming to this clinic since last year. Overall, our experience has been excellent.

    I like Dr. Pravdin, but scheduling an appointment here is very difficult. I called at least 10 times, and no one answered.

    The staff are responsible, attentive, and knowledgeable.

    I had an excellent experience at this clinic! They scheduled me for the next day and completed all necessary tests during my visit. The doctor and nurses were kind and professional, which made me feel at ease. I especially appreciated the follow-up call after the tests. They took time to explain everything thoroughly and answer all my questions, providing truly thoughtful care.

    This was one of the worst clinic experiences I have ever had! The treatment process was extremely rigid and completely impersonal, and the doctor seemed more concerned about billing than my health. The price was entirely disproportionate to the service. I would never recommend this clinic!!

    They charged me $400 for only 10 minutes, did not address my concerns, treated me poorly, and cared only about money. Do not go to this location.

    They never answer the phone. I called 20 times and reached a person only once, then was left on hold for an hour. If you need help, it is better to go in person, though even that is not guaranteed. I recommend finding another clinic. If you need prescriptions on time, do not choose Dr. Pravdin.

    Every wall in the clinic, including in the restroom, is covered with very disturbing posters. They say, “Create a slimmer, more natural figure,” clearly promoting harmful beauty standards. A gynecology clinic should feel safe, but this one feels like the opposite.

    早上9点48分还在等崔医生，预约的是9点。服务态度极差。千万别去这家诊所。
