AkermanMed OBGYN & Midwifery Santa Ana

"So disappointed in this office. At 11 weeks pregnant I was directed by the OB to complete my genetic testing and NIPT test. This is already a stressful enough process, but imagine the stress and anxiety I felt when I was told they did not provide codes for the NIPT and I was waiting anxiously for nothing. I now have to go back to quest and give blood again to check if my baby has any chromosomal issues, which means another two weeks of anxiety. I am not shocked though because when I was checking out, the receptionist looked like she was over the day and it was 10am. She had the audacity to give attitude because she handed me another patients forms at check out and seemed visibly frustrated because I asked for a copy of my ultrasound. I am a first time mother, I want my babies ultrasound. I don't care how inconvenient it is for you to take two steps to the printer. I walked out with the order and trusted they checked off all the boxes I needed, however they did not. At that time I found myself a new office because I was not interested in returning to this center. I gave them a call to cancel my follow up appointment and in the same call I asked if they received my results. That is when I was told they forgot to give me the codes for the NIPT. I contacted my current OB and explained the situation and she asked me to obtain a copy of the labs I did to avoid running the same test twice, so I called back and I asked for a copy of my labs. I was told they would send it over by the end of the day because they were too busy at the moment. I'm writing this review 27 hours later, because once again they did not keep their word and they did not in fact send me my results. I contacted quest and quest sent me the email of my lab results while I was on the phone with them. Do not under any circumstance book here. Very unprofessional and clearly unorganized."

"Dr A along with his associates were very caring and professional. I suffered many years with fibroids and horrible menses, he performed uterine ablation and ty Jesus it was a success. I recommend anyone struggling with the same to give him a visit. Ps I thought he had a great sense of humor & confidence in his skills. The girls in both offices are great too."

"So I'm currently having to see a specialist about nerve damage that I got from a surgery earlier this year. There are risks to any surgery and I understand that I maybe just got unlucky - HOWEVER - my issue is less with that and more that when I brought up my concerns that certain feelings hadn't come back during my post surgery check in, the doctor dismissed the notion entirely, saying it couldn't have anything to do with *him*, he hadn't even been NEAR (insert area here) ...Okay who was it then? Pretty sure you were the only one messing around in there. He insisted that I should just wait for the feeling to return. Well, it hasn't. Akerman rubbed me the wrong way the entire time I had to deal with him, I found him to be really off-putting and unprofessional. I often find myself regretting having not gone to someone else. Maybe i'd still feel normal again if I had. P.S. His nurse was far more helpful in referring me to this specialist (who I hope can help)"

"Dr. Akerman and his staff are awesome! He cared for me during 2 of my 4 pregnancies. I ended up having an emergency C-Section with the first he delivered. Then 11 months later had another c-section with the second he delivered. I was given the option of a VBAC but declined because of the risk involved. I never once felt pressured to have a c-section. Wait times can be a bit of an issue if you are insistant on seeing Akerman himself. But for the most part you will see him. Deliveries are hard to predict and he gets held up at the hospital. You are given the option of seeing a NP or other staff. Of all OB/GYNs I have ever been to Akerman is by far the best. All of his staff, including the front desk, are great!"

"Coming here is worse than going to the DMV. Twice I was seen two hours after my scheduled appointment, for 5 minutes each visit. Today it took just as long but now I’m 34 weeks pregnant and couldn’t sit there waiting on the exam table without any back rest or check-in from any of the staff. I don’t feel that the patient gets treated with any dignity here. I will gladly go into debt and pay someone to actually care for me than ever come back here again."
