Wonderful staff, service, and decor. Waited a significantly longer time for the doctor to come in after undressing for my annual exam than other parts of my visit (vitals and STD testing) but everything else about my appointment was swift and easy. Free crackers and water helped make my experience enjoyable as well.

I usually go to Planned Parenthood but decided to try FPA Womens Health for the first time. The entire staff was supportive, non judgemental, comforting, and thorough. I left the clinic with all of my questions clearly answered and felt extremely comfortable during my appointment. FPA Womens Health gave me a very positive experience and eased the initial nerves I felt prior to reaching out. Because of this I will definitely be going to FPA Womens Health instead of Planned Parenthood.

The Dr. And staff at the Westmoreland location was very professional and caring despite how busy they were. I didnt feel like just another number. I definitely would recommend this place to family and friends! Thank you for seeing me! 💜 -Adriana B.

So far my experience has been good. The staff I had encountered were very helpful. They made me feel comfortable of my decision. They have a counselor that they could refer you too as well if any other issues come along. They answered all my questions at the best of the knowledge as they could and even made me not feel stupid asking questions either. I would recommend to come here.

Everyone was very professional, kind, and quick to help me. There were small wait times in between the process but it goes by fast. I get nervous during annual exams and I was afraid about how things would be handled. However, the doctor and all of the nurses were very helpful and professional. The doctor communicated to me every thing she was doing, she explained everything through the process and made the whole experience easier than I thought it would be. I was looking for a trustworthy and safe place to go for reproductive and women’s health—this place is it.

Elisa was very rude. I’ve been coming here for 2+ years if not more. I’ve never experienced anything bad with any of the other girls. They always make you feel welcomed and very comfortable. Elisa in the other hand should not be in the front if she’s going to talk to the patients like that. Definitely made me feel so uncomfortable. She definitely needs guidance in how to correctly approach a patients. 3 stars only because the other girls and the clinic it self is amazing. But rating Elisa I’d say -1 star.

Struggling with a mental Battle and a breakup was not easy to deal with, during a pandemic. finding out about FPA womens Health Therapy was probably a life changing experience for me. I mean, I had a phenomenal therapist by the name of Dr. Bradly whom I would recommend to anyone! she not only listened to me and assisted me through the most difficult times. she provided me with the skills I needed to guide me through the times I was unsure about or fearful of. if you or a loved one is suffering from any kind of mental illness, I would definitely recommend FPA womens Health therapy. remember your mental health is important.

Very professional, but friendly, kind staff. Was seen quickly and on time. I got an IUD and the woman who did the procedure was very nice and supportive (as it hurt like hell). High recommend.

Staff is nice, but when you make an appointment I’ve always waiting 20 to 30 minutes after my scheduled appointment.. I’m always just told to sit and wait.. but I feel like If I made an appointment I should be taken care of. Like right this moment I made an appointment for 12:45 and I’m still here waiting while other customers came in and have gotten tooken cared off... it’s 1:27 now hopefully they won’t call me in an hour later. I really want to give them 2 stars but I’m being nice

There was no line when I arrived for my 12:30pm appointment. I was greeted and registered immediately upon entering. The staff were friendly and professional. The clinic was clean and orderly. I did not feel pressured to do or purchase anything I did not want for the purpose of my visit. Thank you NP Raven!

Everyone was so nice! The doc (cant remember her name) and nurse were the best people Ive ever known in a clinic. So professional and they explained everything to me. I was so nervous and she made me feel better.

This was the best care I could ever ask for. They were gracious, professional and attentive, but most importantly, kind. My husband and I were extremely impressed by the level of care We received , and best of all they took my insurance. They really know how to make the best out of a bad situation.

All the staff members were super welcoming and sweet and Dr. Barcellos was so wonderful. Theyre also taking precautions and keeping chairs apart in the waiting room. There was only one other patient when I was there

Went to this location for a LEEP procedure in which I was put under anesthesia, after having 2 abnormal pap smears. Had a biopsy and cells came back having CIN 2 moderate pre cancerous cells. Cristina, Dr Stuart and all of the staff here made a very scary and nerve-wrecking experience smooth. Its hard enough to receive the results. But I felt like I was in very good hands. Thank you to all of the FPA staff.

All the bad reviews seem to be from a year or longer ago. I just visited this clinic last week (10/01/20) and this place was just great. All the staff from the receptionist, to the care coordinator, to the ultrasound tech, to the doctor, to the nurses in recovery were ALL genuine and kind. I waited about a half an hour to get called back but once I was called back everything moved very quickly. I felt cared for and safe which is so important when going through something like this. I would definitely recommend this place!

Review №25

Caring professionals, I was treated by Christina Pella, PA for my yearly checkup. She thoroughly answers questions and had a caring demeanor and bedside manner. I did feel a little bit like everyone was rushing (could just be me). However, I understand, that this is a busy facility. Wait times are a bit lengthy but not unexpected. Overall, good experience, ill be back for next year.For the entrance, sometimes there are some annoying and intrusive religious people who dont care if youre there for checkup or whatever PERSONAL reason. They come up to you and try to bother you. Just put your hand up and ignore these freaks. Unfortunately, I dont think the facility can do anything about them.

I went in today for the usual girl stuff (2/25/2020) and the ENTIRE staff was amazing! From the two young ladies at the front desk, to Darlene that took down my info and BP, to the young lady that drew my blood, to the young lady that took me to the exam room to the doctor. They were honestly all so friendly. They really made me feel comfortable and heard.Thank you so much, ladies!Keep up the good work 🖤

Had a good experience with my intake process thanks to the medical assistant Gabriela Perez . A really nice , sweet & enthusiastic person someone who details all the information for you and answers all your questions to make everything understandable to you . I enjoyed my first visit here and will be coming back for another appointment next week thanks to Gaby for recommending me new resources here .

Really clean, and organized. They offer great financial options and make you feel very safe. You’re going to want to set aside 4 hours for the appointment if it’s on a Saturday morning, but no shock there. They have everything under control and there’s no need to be nervous about anything! Staff is really nice and open to answering whichever questions you may have. Truly a great place, really grateful I came here.

The wait here is just ridiculous. You would think that because it’s a more central location they have more staff. No they do not. More than two hours of waiting here and still nothing. Mission hills location is way faster and easy. Next time I will have to drive 15 miles rather than being local because YOU people need to hire more doctors. Need I remind the staff is SUPER RUDE when you ask why you have been waitiNg for two hours and a half

Review №49

Expect to be here for about 2.5 hours. The wait is long, facility is clean, other text like HIV/STD are quick. Receptionist are quick to attend you and polite and nurses are polite,nice and professional. If you come to FPA don’t plan anything because your visit will not be short. The Doctor was beyond helpful and nice. I got my nexplanon removed with little to no pain thanks to her.

Big shout out to a nurse named Rosa. She’s very sweet, comforting and carrying. She baby’d me through out my whole experience at the clinic. I really appreciate her, along with all other staff❤️

They could do better on keeping confidentiality. When I got my pregnancy test result (positive) they didnt take me to a room to tell me in private. Instead I was told at the front desk where people sitting nearby can hear. Then they immediately asked me if I wanted to set an appointment assuming I wanted to terminate when I actually wanted prenatal care (they offered the services there too). I also overheard a staff member speaking to a client and family member in the hallway about how much bleeding to expect after her procedure. It makes me wonder if they have enough rooms there for a private conversation.

Review №61

They do not make you feel welcomed the girl who does the ultrasounds is great and also the doctor but the girls who work in the front desk are awful I wish I never even went there the one in Whittier is way better they are more CALM AND WELCOMING the girl at the front shouldn’t even work there if she doesn’t like her job.

Review №64

I honestly dont understand how this place has such a low rating. All staff here were so respectful and compassionate. They really took care of you and checked in on you all the time to see how you were. If you were in any pain they immediately accomadate you. As far as the wait time, it does take awhile, however, they inform you of this before you ever go in, so it shouldnt be a surprise.

All the experience was amazing no waiting time, (compared to downey all pack and nothings organized) scheduling was perfect all staff went above and beyond for any questions and needs that i had. The only thing is the anesthesiologist was horrible. She couldnt get a good vein and i got poked deep about 3 times. Even the doctor was friendly and attentive. Very happy, easy, fast, procedure.
