Raymond I. Poliakin, M.D. 227 West Janss Road, Thousand Oaks, CA 91360

"I never feel the need to leave a review but Dr. Poliakin is beyond amazing and makes you feel like family. So blessed to have had him at my side throughout my first pregnancy and delivery."

"Horrible bedside manner and it took about 1.5 hours to be seen. I saw him for a third trimester scan after a recommendation from my midwife. He immediately started telling me about a c-section and how that was going to be the most likely scenario. He also informed me that I was going to go into labor on Halloween although I had zero indicators of labor. He seemed to push c sections and became very defensive when I asked why or asked for more information. Thankfully, the scan looked great and the ultrasound looked perfect. I came out of the appointment in tears and felt very defeated. Save yourself the trouble and find another OB."

"Dr Poliakin delivered my first child almost 9 years ago. It was a smooth pregnancy and delivery. Would recommend him to anyone looking for the best obgyn in thousand oaks area. Would definitely want to visit him again if I have the chance."

"I love Dr Poliakin! He is like family to me! I have been a patient for over 28 years now! He has delivered 6 of the 8 babies I have given birth to. He has always been compassionate, kind and funny! He helped me through losses and shared in our joy with every baby! He is genuine and intuitive. He was awesome during my difficult surrogate twin pregnancy and delivery. We did the show A Baby Story with him! He has even delivered a couple of my granddaughters!! I would never see another Dr if I had the choice! Even if there’s a wait or have to reschedule, you know it’s because he is giving another mom and baby all he can. Which is exactly what you are going to get! He is the BEST!!"

"I'm heartbroken over my experience with Dr. Poliakin's office. I've had 4 different people recommend him for my next pregnancy so I was very excited to finally call and start our relationship! We're a military family so we have Tricare. Dr. Poliakin's website lists acceptable insurance and specifically states "Tricare: We support our military." I had also completed the necessary steps with Tricare to get a referral specifically to see Dr Poliakin AND spoke with the insurance company to be 110% sure I was authorized to see him. I finally called to set my 1st appointment but everyone I interacted with was very rude. It honestly felt like I made the office staff mad by daring to call and try to become a new client. Everything is completely approved through my insurance but the office staff at Dr Poliakin's business insist that they will not work with me as a Tricare client. Even my insurance company said they don't understand the issue and said the doctors office could call them to verify anything they have questions about. Dr. Poliakin's staff refused to do that and just kept telling me to see a different doctor. I'm so sad, truely heartbroken. For 2 years I've been looking forward to working with this doctor, yet I've been denied for no reason and treated terribly. If the office doesn't accept my insurance, that's fine. I get it, but you can be nice to people and take the time to get accurate information. Instead, it's just people not willing to spend 5 extra minutes to help me sort this out. This office does not support the Military, as they claim to online. It's sad to be discriminated against like this for no reason at all. Good luck to anyone else trying to work with this office. From what I hear, Dr. Poliakin is worth the hassle, but I wasn't able to find out."
