Earle Y. Oki, MD 1500 East 2nd Street, Reno, NV 89502

"Laura Oki is the ONLY reason I stuck with this place... she delivered both of my beautiful babies & is the sweetest, most knowledgeable midwife. Earle Oki on the other hand made me uncomfortable & was always extremely rude to the point I told him & asked him to be nicer. With my 1st child he told me there was something wrong with my uterus & my child may not make it. Laura made me feel cared for and comfortable and literally held my hand the whole way. Thank you Laura Oki. You are a blessing"

"Please don’t come here my baby passes away I believe my baby had a chance of survival, see other babies, and worse or condition, and they are surviving around 5 months pregnant dr. Laura OK and her husband gave me the bad news and told me there is no chance for survival for my child so I still stuck with the pregnancy because I had hope in faith also my previous OB that I had to mix it up my charts with my sister, so this pregnancy could have been prevented or seen, but I had no choice to carry the baby until it’s born. Laura gave me the bad news, and I still went to get a second opinion was still the same thing but that’s because they called and spoke with her I don’t in to give me a second answer. They didn’t even want to test me or do an ultrasound or anything on me. They just sent me home however I was only 19 years old at the time. Just a mother of three Dr. Laura Oki told me if I want to proceed with the pregnancy that could be a chance of not able to have more kids I was scared they also was trying to force me to take a big needle to take fluid for the baby to test it, which could cause me to miscarry but they said that doesn’t, always happen, forcing me to do other tests on the baby telling me my child is not allowed in the waiting room with her dad even before Covid for me. It’s very hard to explain. I am just now finding out. From family members before I gave birth I ask not to be medicated no drugs as I want to bond with my daughter before she passes away I don’t know who pushed it meds Thur IV but I know my OB had to give consent for that even after I had explained that I didn’t want any narcotics as I am not a person that does narcotics And that that was my wishes and request no matter how hard it hurts. I do not want to be medicated, however, that was not followed. The doctor gave orders and ask my mom on the phone to medicate me as if I was not old enough to get my own consent. Not sure if they could handle seeing a child die because this is a part of their job as a high risk OB/GYN N, that same day on December 27 of 2018 I asked Dr. Laura OK to check me because I feel like I’m going to give birth and I’m in excruciating pain. No we’re just checking in a few days because my due date was around January, however, that same day I am at Walmart urgently feeling to push after I just got done seeing my OBGYN and begged her to check me to see if I’m crowning That same night I gave birth and just to know that when I am a young mother experiencing my baby is going to pass away to at least let me and her bond however, 20 minutes into her being born I asked the nurse when is my baby going to die why is it taking so long and I just thought that I was evil for wanting her to die faster and sooner, but it was a huge monster inside of the room that had no capacity for me to experience once in a lifetime seeing my baby for the last time my wishes wasn’t respected and I was age enough to give consent for medication. I was over the age of 18 years old. So if you have a pregnancy that you have wishes and boundaries and you want them to be respected, don’t come here. They are rude there mean she was the only person that in because I was five months pregnant and had to wait for my insurance to transfer over but if I could just say that those words that I told my nurse and in front of my child will always hurt me"

"The reviews definitely made me feel nervous and scared. After a few appointments with Dr. Okie, he is a caring and very knowledgeable doctor! I can understand on some folks perception when it comes to his bluntness, but I would take it with a grain of salt. He's funny, blunt, straightforward and doesn't sugar coat what needs to be done or what could possibly become. Although the practice is very busy and the long wait can turn to an hour or two, I will be willing to wait to make sure my baby is under great care with Dr. Okie. If I have time to do anything, I have time to sit and wait. The staff has been kind to me and my husband and very attentive especially when the wait is too long or a reschedule needs to occur."

"I was recommended to go to Dr. Oki because I am considered high risk bing 40+ and expecting my 5th child. I went to my 20 week ultrasound. I understand that Doctors should offer options and I don’t mind that, but this doctor really pushed for me to do extra testing for the baby to test for any physical or mental problems and I told him that I didn’t want to because it wouldn’t effect my decision to have the baby or not, and he very rudely responded and continued to try to guilt me into the test. Then while doing the ultrasound they pointed out what they called “anomalies” and then in the same breath said that it was common to see these things in ultrasounds. They try to manipulate by fear. We just went for the follow up visit with a second ultrasound, we drove from an hour away to come to our appointment, and our daughter wanted to come along with me and my husband. We walked into the appointment and immediately one of the office staff said rudely, “you’re not allowed to have children her, she’ll have to leave or you’ll have to reschedule”. My husband said out loud, we aren’t driving back home an hour because you don’t want a child here. So they then said “well she’s welcome to go wait outside then” as if we had an the option to have an 8 year old little girl sit by herself. I told them that wasn’t an option. Then they said “you can FaceTime the ultrasound with your husband and daughter while they sit in the car” and I told them that wasn’t an option either, I am hearing impaired and I rely on my husband to be there since the dr still wears a mask and I can not read his lips. My husband then asked if our daughter could sit in the waiting room and they said “no we don’t let children in here because it high risk and children can bring germs into the office” (as if adults don’t!) “a few years ago someone’s child brought chickenpox, so the only way you can be seen is for her to not be here”. My husband just told them “that’s fine you can cancel her appointment and in fact don’t even contact us to reschedule, we won’t be back.” Find somewhere else to get your ultrasounds done."

"I had a very bad experience with this office. Not only was everyone rude and unaccommodating but I was scared into believing something was wrong with me and my baby the entire time when everything was actually completely fine and healthy - I was left with a huge medical bill with them even though I didn’t go through with their recommendations and stopped going because I felt so pressured each time and they’d make me feel guilty. I was told I had fetal growth restriction by Dr. Oki and that my placenta was failing. He’d tell me my baby wasn’t growing properly and I’d need to be induced to avoid a stillbirth. Even though in the scans the baby would go up in weight each time. I’d ask several questions as I was obviously stressed and terrified but it didn’t make sense to me since me and my baby were gaining weight. He never would answer my questions - he talked to me like I was stupid every time. The office reschedules you so last minute - im talking 10 minutes before your appointment or when you arrive they say Dr. Ok I is running behind please wait or reschedule. They expect you to wait UP TO 2 HOURS! Pregnant women in a lobby for 2 hours and they don’t have a water machine or bathroom for you to use. Renown only refers you here to make money because their office will encourage induction and everyone makes a ton more money. Luckily I listened to my mom instincts, declined my induction, have a very successful unmedicated birth and my baby was over 7 pounds and my placenta was big and healthy. I’d encourage any new expecting parents to search for other OB specialists and not go to this office."
