Vladimir Leibovsky, MD 337 El Dorado Street, Monterey, CA 93940

"My issues are as follows with this doctor - and I WOULD NOT recommend him because: Edit/Add; he currently has an open investigation pending through the district attorney’s office for false advertising/misleading patients about having his rights to deliver/work at local hospitals being taken away. 1. This doctor told me that I didn’t need to continue to take prenatals after two months of being pregnant. Red flag #1. 2. He is not gentle with the ultrasound wand that goes into you or on your belly. Unnecessarily rough and rushed while performing the scans. Feels like you’re some sort of farm animal. 3. I am not high risk and this doctor insisted on an ultrasound every two weeks from the start of my pregnancy at 5 weeks. Makes me think about insurance/billing fraud. 4. He rarely seemed to remember me and always asked what my due date was even though I saw him often for an extended period of time. 5. He fell behind on his schedule (very small office with only two providers) and the quality of care declined because he was in a rush to get in and out of the room. 6. He tried to guilt trip me when I decided to switch providers because HE DOESN’T DELIVER BABIES, at any hospital, ever. 7. When we initially went to him because we had a miscarriage, HE TOLD US WE SHOULN’T BE CRYING OR UPSET BECAUSE IT WAS NOT TECHNICALLY A BABY YET. 8. Overall, he had poor bedside manner, was abrasive, impersonal and emotionally removed. If you want a provider that explains and teaches and listens - find a different office. When I called around to look into getting a new OBGYN I heard from other offices that he has the reputation I stated above and I was very disappointed that I hadn’t seen any honest reviews to cover these things - so I’m making one now in hopes to save some people the trouble we went through. His support staff were wonderfully kind but also have a reputation for not sending records to new offices whenever patients transfer care."

"Dr Leibovsky is a great! He has a professional bedside manner yet compassionate to your needs. He is informative regarding treatments. Dr Leibovsky and his staff are very dedicated to his patients."

"In Nov 13th of 2013. I found out I was pregnant. Dr. Leibovsky was my Dr. At the stockton sutter Gould location. It was sad that he moved and i had to find another Dr. But now my daughter is 5 years old and almost 6. She is definitely my miracle baby. I had a schedule c-section because she was breached. And he made me feel very comfortable. It doesn't surprise me one bit that he is rated 5 stars. Because he is awesome!!!"

"i don't know why I'm so nervous when it comes to going to a OBGYN but..... LaiMA is a great practice!!.. I had the best experience!.. today was my first visit & everyone in that office made me feel welcomed & cared for.. I am so happy I found them!!.. Judy, the Office Manager was super nice & Maria the Midwife was so comforting!! She took her time in listening to all my concerns & she was very informative. I haven't seen Dr. Vladimir per say as a patient but he was around & I got to see how he interacts with his patients & he was great!!.. I can tell he has a sense of humor but also upheld his professionalism.. I went from super nervous to at ease & felt very cared for!!.. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!.. love them already!!.."

"Dr Leibovsky and his wife Maria were just as new in town (Monterey) as we were but we are so glad and happy that God led us to their practice!!!! They were an amazing team: professional yet very personalable and caring. I felt heard and taken care of all the way! He was very efficient in getting things arranged and done even though they were only two months in their practice in the area. I had a long and overwhelming labour and delivery with my first son so I had apprehensions about the second one, however, they made my second birth (induced) a smooth, and truly fantastic experience, to my complete surprise!! He was fantastic in the delivery that our daughter came in 8 mins of pushing compared to 3 hrs with my son! They are an AMAZING and PHENOMENAL team of doctor and midwife and you will feel amazing and phenomenal too! I could go on with this review but I will restrain myself... I would recommend them to my friends at a heart beat!!!! Love their passion and enthusiasm in what they do!"
