Dr. Russell Rapoza 11190 Warner Avenue, Fountain Valley, CA 92708

"Very good md professional doctor and staff. I was pleased with the service. The doctor took the time to explain everything and answered questions."

"Oh wow. This doctor is still in business. He is a good doctor to some degree but very arrogant and self centered. A few years ago, he delivered my baby at the hospital and i asked him to complete my FMLA paperwork for my employer. Instead of saying something like, you just had a baby. Rest and recover first and then come by the office. One of the ladies at the front desk would be more than happy to help you out. What he said was, it’s below my title and pay grade. I didn’t become a doctor to fill out forms. I wonder how his employees feel hearing this. I never went back."

"My experience was horrible. No bedside manners. I was just a number not a person. The doctor was coming up with treatments without any blood work or ultra sound. Not to mention permanent. I said I have not had children. So the doctor says I see that on your chart. Oh ok so nothing permanent. He started to insist on a biopsy so did his nurse they mentioned it about five times. I said no! How can they tell me to do things that are painful and permanent on the first visit. Without any evidence this is necessary. Plus I met him for the first time with only a paper gown on. That was also troubling to me. No thank you! This experience was horrible. I was just a number just a paycheck. Ok so I filled out forms. But I am a person and my body is not for some doctor to just collect a pay check. Horrible experience."

"Super nice people. Clinic is very clean and so many cute babies pictures!"

"Personally had a horrible experience here with both this doctor and nurse. I had an appointment to remove an IUD, the second and last one I will ever have after this experience. Upon removal, I became emotional due to the pain and other emotional factors. The moment I started to cry and just ask to catch my breath from the moment, the doctor quickly excused himself from the room. The nurse, who was in the room with my partner and I, seemed inconvenienced by my tears and wanted to know if I could sit through the end of the appointment. I said yes, feeling like I was inconveniencing these people once again. The nurse left the room to let the doctor know he could come back. When she arrived back in the room she said the doctor is unwilling to finish this appointment because I was in so much pain. She offered to have the doctor write me a prescription for a pill to soften my cervix overnight then recommended a Planned Parenthood in my area to finish the appointment. For me, to not have the doctor come and tell me this himself, especially after the way I was feeling. I already felt like I had upset him because I cried. I’m a survivor of sexual abuse and just would have appreciated the decency and understanding that should be extended to patients like me. Lastly, the nurse who seemed to have the personality of a prison warden, then proceeded to have a personal conversation for several minutes in front of me as I was standing in front of her desk to checkout. If this taught me anything, it’s that this doctor at anytime could have counseled me on a different method of birth control that would be more comfortable. I left feeling somehow inadequate because I couldn’t sit through the pain for these people. They seemed displeased with me. I hope this office and both staff members see this review and take into account that their lack of awareness and bedside manners for individuals like me is shocking taking into account the business they are in."
