Stanco Lorraine MD 7910 Frost Street, San Diego, CA 92123

"She saved my daughters life. Very professional, compassionate ,and she is the best at what she does. I have had many nurses/doctors tell me so aswell."

"Very horrible experience at pregnancy specialists! They said my son had a heart defect, put me on emergency pregnancy care, pressured me into genetic testing, mentioned ABORTION on the same day of the reveal of a heart defect, and potential risk of Down syndrome! I ran home crying because up until this visit, everything was totally fine. Mind you, I was 25 years old, very healthy athlete, was not a high risk pregnancy, and was fed bull*hit information, all to make several thousand dollars on heart ultrasounds and genetic testing (amnio). I eventually switched to Kaiser because of my husbands work, was seen by their cardiologist, and told there was nothing wrong with my baby’s heart at all! I couldn’t believe it!!! How could they securely say my baby had ASD, ‘no if’s, ands or buts’, then to be told by another doctor they were completely wrong. Wouldn’t you think if these doctors would suggest getting a second opinion? I believe they definitely misdiagnosed for profit because the events don’t make sense. Very cold and calculated money scheming, in my view. The more information I uncovered, the more it seemed these people were all crooks. Do not recommend! Especially if you look nice and vulnerable."

"Dr. Stanco’s medical license should be canceled and she needs to retire. She can be cold and rude. Be careful of her office’s shady practices of hurrying you to sign documents to relieve the doctor from future liabilities due to her careless practices. Throughly and carefully read every form they hurry you to sign BEFORE signing. Today I read several other troubling reviews of her and how babies were born with complications due to her carelessness. Read one right here on google reviews of this doctor. It goes without saying, your baby’s life and future depends on every decision you as parents make right now, so research carefully and pick a specialist who cares for your needs and questions."

"I was under Dr. Stanco's care for two of my high-risk pregnancies. I cannot speak highly enough of this doctor. She was extremely attentive, kind, educated and thorough when it came to our complications. I have read quite a few reviews regarding her bedside manner - I found her to be very patient with us, but I did not waste her time, and was quick and direct with all questions. She has a very busy office it seems, so I'm sure she does not have the time allotted to sit with patients as long as she would like. Trust me, if you see her as your doctor, your odds of having a heathy baby are VERY high."

"I first started seeing Dr. Stanco in 2011 when I w8as pregnant with my last son. She seemed very professional and personable up until the last month or two of my pregnancy. She started to get very callous and acted like she was annoyed with my questions. I was also turned away during my pregnancy once when I was sick with a head cold, again when I had an ear infection, then once more when I asked for advice about an absessed tooth(I was concerned about medications I could take). I was told that she didn't deal with ANYTHING other than just the pregnancy. I personally felt neglected, but I didn't have a whole lot of choice to find a new high risk ob, as I was further along in my pregnancy. I also told her that I thought I was leaking amniotic fluid at the beginning of my 7th month and was dismissed. I was told that it was "Normal". When I came back again a month later, I was told that my amniotic fluid levels were low and they delivered the baby the next day. My son was born with three holes in his heart, that may or may not have been related to that or the medication I was put on during my pregnancy that I did NOT want to take. I also ended up getting a tubal ligation done during my c-section. Here I am a year and a half later, and I am experiencing extreme pain every month during my period (They almost feel like sciatic nerve attacks where my fallopian tubes should be), night sweats, sometimes I have periods that won't stop until I get medication for it, depression, anxiety, sudden bouts of crying, large blood clots during menstruation, and the list just keeps going. Turns out I have what is called Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome. Not ONCE was I ever told about the risks for getting a tubal aside from the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. Now I will be paying for this, for the rest of my life. My experiences with Dr. Stanco have negatively effected the rest of my life and possibly my child's."
