When I called this office and asked if they were accepting new patients, they said yes however it took about two months to get in for my first appointment. I felt like that was quite a while to wait to only see the Nurse Practitioner and not an MD. When I arrived for my appointment, I already had all my paper work filled out and signed two forms for confidentiality purposes, it took me less than five minutes to complete their paper work. After waiting for almost 45 minutes I asked the front desk how much longer? The front desk person was very rude and told me I would just have to wait my turn. I waited another 45 minutes and watched people get called back that came in almost a half hour after I did. I asked the front desk again when I would get to go back to see the NP and she once again was very rude and said I would have to wait. I was very upset with the way I was treated at this office. I had some serious health issues that I waited for almost two months to discuss at my appointment. This place is not the type of physicians office that I would want taking care of me for my health, so I left. When I informed the front desk that I was leaving, she said OH WELL!!! There are plenty of other OB/GYN offices in Newport Beach that value their patients and would not make them wait.
