Dr. Marinescu is empathetic and an excellent doctor and surgeon. He made sure I was informed and comfortable at every stage of my care. I had 8 large fibroids that caused me constant pain removed via robotic myomectomy and everything went better than I had hoped. He has exceeded all my expectations for patient care. My husband appreciated that he made a clear and decisive plan and that he cared about me and improving my quality of life. The office is amazing and we have had nothing but excellent experiences with all of the staff. I would give 6 stars if possible. Thank you for seeing the person and not just the procedure as important. Gold standard for patient care 👍

Dr. Marinescu and his staff are incredibly caring people. I found Dr. Marinescu through my daughter who had been referred by her primary. Unfortunately my daughter and I shared some of the same issues. She had surgery in April and I had mine in June 2021. Dr. Marinescu and his team were very understanding about my situation and for the first time in six years and three different doctors my problems were taken seriously and he gave me hope. It brought me to tears. There are not enough thank you to express how grateful I am. The surgery went well but due to my age I need extra help and medication has been prescribed.The girls in the office worked very hard with me get the pr-op tests done, worked with my primary physician and my insurance to get me ready to go for surgery. they were amazing, thank you, ladies!All in all, I had a great experience with D. Marinescu and I just again, want to say, thank you for helping me get my life back!!!

Dr. Marinescu is by far one of the best, if not the best, OB/GYNs out there. I compare his care with me to the care my sisters received with their OBs (who are also very good doctors) and hes just more confident, honest and definitive. He puts your concerns and health before anything and everything. Hes just super skilled as a surgeon as well. Excellent bedside manner and super focused.

Lovely caring office. And my visit with Dr. Marinescu was awesome! Learned exactly what I needed to know in a very educational, & respectfully-fun way. Such a great guy. And so and fun to be in an office treating women at such a range of ages; including getting to see those beautifully & calmly pregnant under OBGYN-Care’s care!

My previous OBGYN had retired and needed a new one so badly. Can’t thank God enough for putting Dr. Marinescu on my life. Dr. Marinescu is so highly skilled and expert to perform robotic laparoscopic hysterectomy. He always answers all my questions and concerns in a very professional and respectful manner. His staff is amazing. They are always so caring and helpful. Love that they are always on time, showing so much respect for patients’ time. Staying with him for all my OBGYN needs! Thank you, OBGYN CARE!!

I had such a great experience as a first timer. I barely waited to be helped when I checked in. The staff and Dr. Marinescu at OBGYN Care were all very friendly and helpful. I especially loved how Dr. Marinescu really took his time to explain my condition with me as well as my treatment options. I researched OBGYNs experienced in ovarian complications and immediately knew that Dr. Marinescu was the right choice for me and I have put myself in very capable hands. He made himself available to spend as much time with me as I needed and his demeanor has really put me at ease so I highly recommend this clinic.

I would highly recommend Dr Marinescu. I had 2 of my babies delivered by him and hes been beyond amazing. I even changed my insurance the second time around so that it incorporates him within my network as I wanted to make sure he delivers my second baby as well. Hes extremely professional, knowledgable, patient, pleasant, caring, responsive, and has no-nonsense advice. His staff is also incredibly helpful and nice, making every visit enjoyable. I am grateful to him for delivering my 2 healthy babies and trust him immensely.

I visited 5 other gynecologists, who frankly were pretty arrogant and disrespectful, questioning my pain, to find answers about what could be causing me so much pain. The answers I got were: constipation, not getting pregnant, and having period for too many years, or that I need to start taking hormonal treatment. Their ultrasounds found nothing, and the doctors said they would need to perform exploratory surgery to find out what was wrong, but they didnt want to do it, as they did not believe me or said it might be very risky surgery.As an European, I am used to excellent medical quality service being provided, but I found that I was getting pretty desperate from the lack of answers and help I was receiving from other doctors. Then I came to Dr. Marinescu, who discovered the problem right away. He was very polite and treated me with respect. He was professional and fixed the problem with minimally invasive surgery, and I was home the same day. I only regret that I didn’t find him sooner, and didn’t waste my time with those other hack jobs. It would have saved me 2 years of unbearable pain and suffering. Dr. Marinescu cares about his patients, and not about himself or money, as other doctors do. He explains everything and makes sure that patients receive the treatment and care they need. I know that for any future needs for a gynecologist I may have, Dr. Marinescu will be the doctor I visit first and foremost. Honestly he is so nice and amazing, that if I could, I would like him to be also my dentist, general doctor, dermatologist etc. And I cant forget his amazing staff. Such a nice ladies. I never felt so good at doctors office. Thank you very much Dr. Marinescu for everything!

Dr. Marinescu is an extremely knowledgeable and professional Gynecologist. I have been seeing him for over 3 years now and he has always been thorough and taken time to explain procedures and results after each visit. He performed a laparoscopy to assess possible endometriosis and the procedure was painless and so was the recovery. His staff is also friendly and very helpful. I definitely recommend him!

*1,000 stars*I trust Dr. Marinescu 1000%!! He saved my life during my second pregnancy with emergency surgery, I had to have an emergency hysterectomy due to excessive bleeding that didnt stop. His expertise, demeanor and advocacy shine bright. The real life super hero! I am beyond grateful.I had two pregnancies both delivered at Hoag with Dr. Marinescu second pregnancy turned into an emergency on 11/30 since I had postpartum hemorrhaging and needed to have a hysterectomy to save my life, I could see and hear he did everything he could to save my uterus and avoid this the entire time. I did not have any fear I had complete trust in doctor Marinescu as I could hear him directing and redirecting other medical professionals beside him on what needed to be done to save me and being my best advocate. He knows exactly what to do in times of emergency, and thats when it matters most. If it wasnt for him being there I dont think I would be here. He jumped into action and turns into a lion to make sure he saves you. Dr. Marinescu is the reason I am alive today to enjoy my two boys (he both delivered ) and husband.He is beyond excellent in both general womens health and prenatal care, I have been a patient since 2017, during my womens checkups and prenatal care he always has a calm and caring bedside manner allows you to not be a walking ball of stress if you worry about the small things. He is also very responsive anytime I had a question he responds and it feels like you are his only patient. I dont know how he does it! Also if other specialist doctors need to get a hold of him while your pregnant he is very responsive in responding to them all. The ladies in the front office are also wonderful and always friendly and attentive, I always get seen upon arrival which is respectful of everyones time. You are in great hands, he has a patient for life and I wouldnt trust anyone else.

My experience at this office has been wonderful. I too have had a difficult couple of years with bleeding problems and the doctor never encouraged me to have any surgery until we knew exactly what was going on. He was never pushy about the way he wanted things to go and as always let me make the decisions regarding how we move forward. He has given me every report and every copy of bloodwork Ive asked for. He is also very kind and respectful at all times. The office staff is about the best Ive ever felt with.

Excellent doctor, he is quite, but when he opens up, he is quite humorous. On the professional side, he is an extremely knowledgeable doctor, board certified and has some of the best education available. My wife and I highly recommend Dr. Marinescu, as he delivered a baby for us with no complication.

Review №33

What can I say, number of stars does not possibly dictate the level of competency Dr Marinescu and his staff has shown. My wife went to Dr Marinescu with a level 4 endometriosis exhibiting a frozen pelvis and 3 different ovarian cysts ranging from 16cm, 5cm and 4cm in size that are giving her unbearable pain and fluctuating high temperatures for the past month.After visiting many other top rated OBGYNs around the OC and greater LA area (some of which are well reviewed and publicized) in hopes of solving her conundrum we are dumbfounded at some of the recommendations given. Plainly put it, while a few believe her condition is too great for them to treat and others are felt like they are just out for money, none had the confidence to acknowledge our main concern for the need to keep her ovary(s) so that we can have a greater chance at having children later. One well publicized doctor didnt even bother to look at her ultrasound and told us after meeting for 5 minutes that he will have to cut her open down the middle due to the size of her cyst which would be impossible to remove via laparoscopy and that she also will likely lose one of her ovary for certain as the largest of the cysts has already enveloped it. While we understand that doctors never give out promises, we would have appreciated more positive attitude and reinforcement which goes a long way of foreshadowing his bedside manner we as patients all look for and that apparently had been a common negative reflection among other reviewers.Dr Marinescu on the other hand come well regarded from all the research that we have done and his calm demeanor facing my condition brought comfort and confidence to me that he will be able to do a good job. One 2 hour long laparoscopy and a 2 week recovery later, we are EXTREMELY happy to say that my wife is cyst free and she have BOTH of her ovaries in tact! Not only did Dr Marinescu diagnosed her condition correctly, he also accurately diagnosed the issue dealing with an infection that was causing the fluctuating temperatures related that need to be addressed prior to surgery which would have gave complications if not caught beforehand. His skillful execution with robotic surgery helped remove the large cyst without cutting her wide open, and of course help saved that particular ovary at the same time. His due diligence also made sure the surgery center staff was keeping a watchful eye on her while she stayed overnight at surgery center for post op recovery.I could not give enough recommendation for Dr Marinescu and his practice. I believe there is no condition too great or complex for him to handle. So if you are suffering from any particularly unique condition and are turmoiling over what to do or how to treat it. Call Dr Marinescu ASAP. And if you gain the level of trust in him as we have, you will not be disappointed in the result. We on the other hand have found our OBGYN for when me and my wife are expecting, and will see Dr Marinescu in the future on a more joyous note!

Review №36

This was our first baby and our experience with Dr. Marinescu was outstanding. Due to a move we transferred to Dr. Marinescu at the 20 week mark and we could not have been more pleased. While he was professional, knowledgeable and friendly during all of our monthly/weekly visits, it was during the delivery that having Dr. Marinescu as our doctor was truly a blessing. Our baby had to be delivered by forceps and we later learned, from the nurses, that a forceps delivery is a “lost art” and had we not had Dr. Marinescu as our doctor we would have likely had a c-section. His skill, experience and knowledge with a forceps delivery and relaxed, yet focused, demeanor made the birth of our baby truly enjoyable. More so, he was always present during the course of labor and in turn created a safe, supportive environment. We are so grateful to have found Dr. Marinescu and to have been in such good hands during the pregnancy and delivery!

I was going through a difficult time after the delivery of my daughter. I needed to find a surgeon that was very knowledge and confident with my condition. I did allot of research to find the best surgeon and I found Dr. Marinescu! When I called his office he would always get on the phone and answer any questions.. Amazing Im greatful to him. I flew from MT to see him and he made time the next evening to perform my surgery, I would not hesitate to go back.Thank you Dr. Marinescu!!

I had a total Hysterectomy on 01/29/18, performed by Doctor Catalin Marinescu, MD ( robotic, mini-invasive). Doctor Catalin Marinescu is the best Surgeon I dealt with!

I experienced no pain at all and no complications, today being the eighth day after the surgery! I am so very thankful that Doctor Catalin Marinescu, MD, was my Surgeon ! I firmly believe Doctor Catalin Marinescu made a frightening and stressful experience less traumatic for me! Thank you Doctor Marinescu for a successful surgery! Your Office Staff was also wonderful and caring! Super Doctor! Super Staff! I highly recommend Doctor Catalin Marinescu, MD, to any patient that is looking for a very good Surgeon!

My husband and I are extremely grateful to Dr. Marinescu for guiding my pregnancy through a very difficult period. I experienced pre eclampsia during the last few weeks of my pregnancy. Up until this point Dr. Marinescu was extremely vigilant and attentive to all things related to me and my babies. Once things got complicated he was our guiding light, guardian angel and expert in chief. Dr. Marinescu did a masterful job in managing my condition and bringing our family through a difficult pregnancy. Thanks to Dr. Marinescu my two baby girls and I are ready to face the future healthy and happy.I spent a lot of time searching for an obstetrician. At first I felt that a female physician would help me to feel more comfortable but once I had my first visit with Dr. Marinescu this was no longer an issue. He has a very gentle and considerate bed side manner that made feel at ease. His office staff is also very friendly, kind and helpful.

I am towards the end of my 3rd pregnancy (4th child) and have dealt with many OBs in the past. Especially during my pregnancy with my twins. I recently moved to the area before becoming pregnant and had no idea where to go. I looked up Dr. Marinescu through online reviews and I could not be more happy. He is efficient, thorough and to the point. I would not go anywhere else! Thank you Dr. Marinescu!!!

Dr. Marinescu is a very good doctor, and I am very grateful that I can meet him to diagnose my twin baby. In China, my babies did not check out any problems, but after arriving in the United States, Dr. Marinescu immediately discovered that my babies had twin-transfusion syndrome and were admitted to the hospital in time. The operation saved my babys life! The language cant express my gratitude to Dr. Marinescu.I am also very grateful to the assistant Jessica for his endless help, answering questions and working hard. They are a very good team! I will introduce you to all the friends in need around me!

When I first arrived in the United States, I had a lot of choices for Chinese doctors and foreigners. I also visited several clinics and interviewed several doctors. I heard that some Chinese doctors did not personally witness each time during the inspection. Because there were too many Chinese guests at the time of production, if there were other pregnant women at the same time, it would be impossible for them to give birth in person, but other doctors in the same clinic. Delivery. With a lot of doubts, I finally chose Dr. Marinscu after the comparison of the parties. It turns out that my choice is wise. 1. Personally and meticulously and thoughtful medical attitude: Every time the doctors are examined, Dr. Marinscu carefully checks and answers your questions patiently. 2, caesarean section technology super skilled: nurses during the preparation work I was already nervous, until the doctor came in with a warm smile, telling you about the time course of surgery and appease your nervousness, I calm down. During the operation, my husband and I just talked a few words. The doctor asked the nurse assistants in the delivery room to prepare for the baby. This speed and my husband were dumbfounded. The surprise was so sudden. 3, the team is seriously responsible, especially the Chinese assistant of Dr. Marinscu, in addition to arranging your birth check appointment, communication with the doctor during the birth check-up, is also a 24-hour online customer service, to solve problems for pregnant women in a timely manner, and effectively solve the medical needs of pregnant women. In short, thanks to Dr. Marinscu and his team, I have experienced a safe, secure and comfortable American production journey.
