AkermanMed OBGYN & Midwifery Santa Ana

Dr. Akerman and his staff are amazing. I have had 2 previous miscarriages (not while under Dr. Akermans care) and when I got pregnant again I was terrified. I found Dr. Akerman, him and I am so grateful for him and his amazing staff. My pregnancy was complicated because of my high blood pressure, subchorionic hematoma and etc.. The office always made me feel comfortable and they all are so caring. I delivered my rainbow baby in January 2020. Also had another baby boy November 2021 (also another complicated pregnancy). I couldnt be more thankful and grateful for Dr. Akerman and his amazing staff!! Now I am back with a ovarian cyst and once again his team has been amazing even with all my questions. BEST OBGYN EVER!!

So disappointed in this office. At 11 weeks pregnant I was directed by the OB to complete my genetic testing and NIPT test. This is already a stressful enough process, but imagine the stress and anxiety I felt when I was told they did not provide codes for the NIPT and I was waiting anxiously for nothing. I now have to go back to quest and give blood again to check if my baby has any chromosomal issues, which means another two weeks of anxiety. I am not shocked though because when I was checking out, the receptionist looked like she was over the day and it was 10am. She had the audacity to give attitude because she handed me another patients forms at check out and seemed visibly frustrated because I asked for a copy of my ultrasound. I am a first time mother, I want my babies ultrasound. I dont care how inconvenient it is for you to take two steps to the printer. I walked out with the order and trusted they checked off all the boxes I needed, however they did not. At that time I found myself a new office because I was not interested in returning to this center. I gave them a call to cancel my follow up appointment and in the same call I asked if they received my results. That is when I was told they forgot to give me the codes for the NIPT. I contacted my current OB and explained the situation and she asked me to obtain a copy of the labs I did to avoid running the same test twice, so I called back and I asked for a copy of my labs. I was told they would send it over by the end of the day because they were too busy at the moment. Im writing this review 27 hours later, because once again they did not keep their word and they did not in fact send me my results. I contacted quest and quest sent me the email of my lab results while I was on the phone with them. Do not under any circumstance book here. Very unprofessional and clearly unorganized.

Dr A along with his associates were very caring and professional. I suffered many years with fibroids and horrible menses, he performed uterine ablation and ty Jesus it was a success. I recommend anyone struggling with the same to give him a visit. Ps I thought he had a great sense of humor & confidence in his skills. The girls in both offices are great too.

Dr. Akerman and his staff are awesome! He cared for me during 2 of my 4 pregnancies. I ended up having an emergency C-Section with the first he delivered. Then 11 months later had another c-section with the second he delivered. I was given the option of a VBAC but declined because of the risk involved. I never once felt pressured to have a c-section. Wait times can be a bit of an issue if you are insistant on seeing Akerman himself. But for the most part you will see him. Deliveries are hard to predict and he gets held up at the hospital. You are given the option of seeing a NP or other staff. Of all OB/GYNs I have ever been to Akerman is by far the best. All of his staff, including the front desk, are great!

So Im currently having to see a specialist about nerve damage that I got from a surgery earlier this year. There are risks to any surgery and I understand that I maybe just got unlucky - HOWEVER - my issue is less with that and more that when I brought up my concerns that certain feelings hadnt come back during my post surgery check in, the doctor dismissed the notion entirely, saying it couldnt have anything to do with *him*, he hadnt even been NEAR (insert area here) ...Okay who was it then? Pretty sure you were the only one messing around in there. He insisted that I should just wait for the feeling to return. Well, it hasnt. Akerman rubbed me the wrong way the entire time I had to deal with him, I found him to be really off-putting and unprofessional. I often find myself regretting having not gone to someone else. Maybe id still feel normal again if I had.P.S. His nurse was far more helpful in referring me to this specialist (who I hope can help)

Coming here is worse than going to the DMV. Twice I was seen two hours after my scheduled appointment, for 5 minutes each visit. Today it took just as long but now I’m 34 weeks pregnant and couldn’t sit there waiting on the exam table without any back rest or check-in from any of the staff. I don’t feel that the patient gets treated with any dignity here. I will gladly go into debt and pay someone to actually care for me than ever come back here again.

I am a complex patient with multiple diagnoses of chronic illnesses and am also a healthcare professional in management. Im commenting from the perspective of a professional and also a patient who has sought medical help from many specialists. I have experienced excellent as well as poor quality care over the years. I recognize and appreciate quality care and wanted to share my experiences.I came to Akerman Med due to dissatisfaction with my previous OBGYN and have made the best choice my OBGYN needs. The clinicians at this clinic have always treated me with courtesy, respect, and professionalism. Dr. Akerman is knowledgeable, keeps a positive attitude despite long and stressful days, and has a good sense of humor. Dr. Liao is friendly and compassionate. In particular, Midwife Vicki A. is second to none. She is compassionate, knowledgeable, experienced, confident, and very personable. She took great care of me from day one of my challenging pregnancy to date (post-partum) and is patient with me as well as actively listens. Though she is busy and being pulled in different directions at times, she often makes me feel like she has time to listen, dedicates attention to me, and goes above and beyond to attend to my care even during her days off.Vicki is always supportive, encouraging and is very understanding of my unique needs. She addressed my medical needs holistically and supports me in any way that she can. One of my other specialists who have treated me over many years commended my OBGYN clinicians for doing a great job at managing my case given my complex medical situation. There need to be more clinicians that care about their patients and have excellent bedside manners like Vicki in healthcare. She is an asset to Akerman Med.It is also easy to communicate with the office via phone and online portal as their phone menu is brief to get through to staff and they are well-staffed.Overall, I highly recommend Akerman Med and have had a pleasant experience with their staff

Ive had 3 pregnancies at this clinic since 2010. I am now on my 4th here and I am not sure how I feel about Debbie. Shes very kind but she made an assumption and asked my husband (father of all 4) if this 4th pregnancy is his first child?! 🥴........

Worlds worse DR. A while back I delivered in orange and this dr kept getting mad at me because I couldn’t push my daughter out! He gave me attitude the entire time, dude even stormed out the hospital room! Even the nurses that were there were getting mad too. I’ll never be going back to this dr!!!!

Best OB/GYN I know!!!!he is a very kind person...takes his time wit his patients to hear out your concerns:)has a great sense of humor I would always walk out wit a huge smile on my face:DThey have everything you could possibly need in that building...as far as the LAB, ULTRASOUNDS, WIC, ND THE PHARAMACY:)I also love the fact that if you get a papsmear done nd the results are good they dont make you come back they just send you a letter to your home (if thats what you desire) not like other doc. That just make you waste your time!!!!!!!!!They accept most insurances if u dnt have any they can help you apply for it...the staff go out of their way to make you happy:)

Looooove my Dr Akerman!! Hes very detailed & knowledgeable.he did my emergency c section & vbac & ill have another vbac in the next few weeks☺ i wish i went to him since my first bby!!! Hes really a great Dr!!!

I was recommended for my first child .all the girls and staff were very helpful with my paperwork and appointments.

Dr Akerman is Hilarious and super knowledgeable. Didn’t feel rushed at all! Thank you :)

Horrible service, have changed my wife’s Dr. 3 times. Do not recommend, doctors don’t bother to read patients medical file.

Very kind 🤍

It is my first appointment with this doctor, no one recommended him to me, I found him on the internet and he inspired a lot of confidence in me and I have faith that he will help me, I came to the right place, he is a very kind doctor and he took the time to explain to me about my problem. I have a tumor in my womb, I suffer from a lot of pain but I will soon be fine, thank you, goodbye, and the staff are all very kind, I arrived at the right place.

Super Gynecologist and his entire work team very well! 100% Of my two pregnancies I was treated at Clinica Prenatal San Jose, unfortunately for my third pregnancy I moved and can no longer attend this clinic. 😔

Super good doctor, I spent my entire pregnancy seeing Dr. Akerman and his entire professional team. You ask them questions and they know how to solve them first. God, I gave birth in August with the same doctor 💖

My worst experience, one star does not describe how bad I have had it, my trauma has been so much that since I had my daughter I have not been able to go back to see any doctor and I hope you dont go through the same thing as me

Be careful, he likes to do a cesarean section, he goes easy

I would like to know if they do colposcopy there.
