Hi All~

I live in South Orange County and had my wonderful daughter 17 months ago. I was not please with my OBGYN at delivery or post OP. If you could provide a recommendation for a compassionate gentle and kind female OBGYN I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!

All of the doctors at Orange Coast Women's Medical Group are FABULOUS!!! I've worked with Dr. Kaminskas, Dr.Winter (male), Dr. Mendalsohn, and Dr. Anne Marie Raffo (each for different children) and they are all just wonderful. I didn't switch because of anything bad - Kaminskas was pregnant at the same time I was and wound up delivering her baby a week before me, so Dr. Winter delivered my first son and I did my follow-up visits with Dr. Mendalson. She happened to be on vacation when my second boy chose to make his debut, so Raffo delivered him. Raffo also delivered my third son and is still my doctor today and I love her. She is very kind. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of the doctors at OCWSMG.
Good luck.

My doc is male but he is the absolute best. He was recommended by my general doctor, he had delivered her two babies. He was wonderful, kind, gentle and calm throughout my entire pregnancy. I am an older mom, so I had some difficulties and he took outstanding care of me. He delivered most of the babies on my block!

I would recommend Dr. Julie Kim. She is associated with Saddleback Women's Med. group off El Toro road. She is fantastic. There are three doctor's in the office,. so you always have a good idea of who you will see. The hospital is Saddleback Memorial, and it was a fantastic experience. Dr. kim is fairly young, but so nice and takes a lot of time to answer questions. Hope this helps!

Dr Kaminskas is WONDERFUL! I found her through a friend after a completely traumatizing experience with a different OB during my first pregnancy. She is part of Orange Coast Womens Medical Group and has offices in San Clemente and Laguna Hills. I love love love her. She was actually voted Dr of the Year at Saddleback Hospital about 2 yrs ago. Also, I have only heard wonderful things about every OB in that group. I have never heard anything bad and I know women that go to 4 different Dr's that are all part of OCWMG. They have a website where you can read about their practice and experience www.ocwmg.com. Their phone number is ###-###-#### for appointments and the office # is ###-###-####. I cannot say enough about them! If you want to know more contact me!

I love my OBGYN...Dr. Hashad of Mission Medical Group. She is so calm and soft spoken...I found that very soothing. They took great care of me, she was very thorough because I had a high risk pregnancy. I think most of the doctors in that group are great also.

Mine is Dr. Thomas Bailey. He is in the Mission Medical Buiding near Choc Hospital. He is a sweet and caring doctor who has always made me feel very comfortable. His wife was also my labor and delivery nurse. Nice people.

Another vote for OCWMG. My doc is Dr. Susan Mendelsohn and I LOVE her. I think I am the only woman I know who actually looks forward to her annual exams just so I can see and chat with my FABULOUS doctor. She has a very to-the-point/no-nonsense approach (transplanted New Yorker) but is very warm, caring, always has a smile on her face, and always asks to see pics of my boys. I've been going to her for over 9 years. She delivered my 2nd son (encouraged my VBAC all the way, even when I didn't think I could do it). I just can't say enough good things about her.

Hope that helps. Good luck!

Hi W.,
I would 100% refer my OB, her name is Dr Raffo & she is at Saddleback. I think the whole group is called "Orange Coast Women's Medical". I had gone to her since I was about 19 and she delivered my daughter in 2006. I am currently pregnant with #2 and had to up and move to Australia in June. I am so bummed she will not be delivering our baby boy as well. She would always take the time to talk with me and get to know me personally. She explained everything to where I never left with questions. She works at both the Laguna Hills office & San Clemente offices. Her number is, ###-###-####. Good Luck!
