Even though I didn't give 4-5 stars - these GYN Doctors are very well informed and do a thorough check-up. But...but the office lacks in update and most important bedside mannerism. I hope the office reviews this and make the necessary updates - the exam room needs curtain if Doctors and nurse associates are entering room different occasions after requesting patient to disrobe and put on gown. In addition they exit room immediately after examination with little consideration that a barrier/curtain is not available, not allowing adequate time for patient to even appropriately robe oneself before they exit. VERY DISAPPOINTED....but this is an area they can improve on hopefully. I have no plans on changing my GYN because they are detail & thorough in their evaluations.

The waiting time was too long. I had an appointment for contraceptive. My appointment time was 12:10pm and I never see the doctor until 1:45pm and I was there before 12 noon.

I had a great visit.
The waiting time was too long. I had an appointment for contraceptive. My appointment time was 12:10pm and I never see the doctor until 1:45pm and I was there before 12 noon.
Verified patient
It was nice and on point
Verified patient
I waited almost three hours to be seen and then he nonchalantly walked into the office apologizing for being late. I had somewhere to be which is why I scheduled my appointment early in the morning. I didn’t leave his office until around 1230, my appointment was for 9am. WAY too long to be in a doctors office to only be seen for 5 minutes, IF THAT.
Best gyn ever
Verified patient
Nice doctor, very long wait
Verified patient
The only problematic thing was the wait time. Otherwise I had an emergency and appreciated that I was able to make a last minute appointment. Staff was nice.
Verified patient
Does not take the time to review patients symptoms and concerns. Worst obgyn. Diagnosed me with an illness yet he prescribed something for me that would make my illness worse. I am lucky i went to another doctor. It could have been worse.
Easy and quick
Verified patient
Be advised the doctor does not come in till 10:30 zoc doc lets you book as early as 9:30 don’t lol. I was very very pleased with my visit. I was in at 9:30 and out before 12 (I booked my appointment way too early and still came out faster then I would have at my pervious gyn. Please ignore the reviews saying he’s too old straight up bullsh*t. He knew what he was doing made me feel comfortable and address all my concerns. So happy I found a gyn with reasonable wait time and such great bedside manner!
Verified patient
It went well!!!
IT WAS GOOD
Verified patient
I hinestly feel like he shouldnt practice anymore because he is really old he looks nothing how he does in the oicture and his ultrasound machine is really old. He said my baby was too big to see on his screen and at the time i was only a little over 13 weeks.
Verified patient
Love him ????
Verified patient
Very nice doctor and staff.
Verified patient
First off Maria is absolutely amazing! She makes you feel so comfortable the moment you step through the door! The entire experience was very comfortable and I will definitely be back.
The office was a big turn off for me. It wasn't welcoming neither was the staff. Neither one of the medical assistants introduced theirselves at all didn't ask me any questions about my past history. I'm not sure if I seen dr ajah because it didn't look like the picture but the physician didn't introduce his self either. I was completely turned off. The only reason I stayed was due to an emergency but I won't be returning again. Just wasn't a pleasant visit.
Good
I felt very comfortable and staff
Verified patient
Very nice people
Verified patient
The staff was very nice and friendly. Got to my appointment at 9:00 was done by 10:15. The doctor was very nice and very informative. Answered all of my questions. I would definitely recommend.
Verified patient
i hate the wait time. they literally saw me an hour after my appointment. but i love that doctor so much. i get seen by the female GYN and i love her so much. the second im in a room with her i know im safe and in good hands. so while i hate the wait time with a passion i dont want to leave. its too hard to find a doctor that takes care of you like she does.
Verified patient
Though The Wait Time Was Long , It Was Understandable Being That He Is A Delivering Dr .. Once It Was My Turn I Was Seen Rather Quickly The Dr Had Amazing Bedside Manor And Made Me Feel At Ease . His Staff Is Quick And Efficent And Maria At The Front Desk Was Absoultely Amazing , i Work At A Drs Office So I Know About Long Waits And Maria Was Grateful That I Was Understanding . She Went Above And Beyond To Help Me When I Had My Script Sent To The Wrong Pharmacy .. She Is Quick and Knowledgable Too , i Easily Felt As If I Had Known Her And The Dr For Years .. Good Staff , Great Office I Highly Recommend Just Be Patient Its Worth The Wait If You Want A Good Dr !
Verified patient
My appointment was for 9 am but the dr cane in at 11am. He also didn't ask me any questions, didn't ask if I had any concerns, didn't ask if I was on bc, nothing. I waited for him for 2 hrs just to spend 4 minutes in his office!
Verified patient
Eventhough your appointment is booked for 9am, the doctor doesn't show up until 11am so you are stuck sitting around in the waiting room for over 2 hours before you are seen! This didn't happen at my first visit because I actually saw a female physician. However today, October 19 2016. My morning is spent being frustrated because I was told by his staff that he doesn't arrive until 11am! Beyond pissed off!
Verified patient
Having to go there half an hour before the doctor came first in line...then one of the workers who been sitting there talking decided to do an allergy test on me around the same time the doctor came in it took 15 mins for it to be done she said it will take 10 mins....lost my spot waited for the doctor while I was continuously feeding the meter because I didn't want to get a ticket like I did the last time I was there...I ended up leaving because I spent 3 dollars in quarters had to leave because the doctor took too long....
