Ricardo Huete, MD

Dr. Huete delivered my now 19 yr old brother that was name after him Ricardo. He delivered my cousin my niece, nephew. Always was very kind to my family and have heard nothing but wonderful things

My best friend had Dr. Huete for her first pregnancy and said he was nice but wouldn’t recommend him because he didn’t deliver her baby, he went on vacation and didn’t say anything. I met Dr. Huete and agreed that he was nice. He answers questions and is very knowledgeable. I thought it was a fluke and asked him if he was planning on taking any time off during my expected due date. He said no so I stayed. And although what I said is true, I gave him one star for various reasons listed below.
#1. Expect to wait a MINIMUM of one hour for every appointment. He is always (and I mean always) late and it backs up his whole day.
#2. He is always rushing. It probably has to do with #.1
#3. He was in the hospital when my labor started, but left after saying a very short hi. He didn’t deliver my baby, which after going to him for 9 months was very disappointing. I waited for him for every single appointment and he could at least have had the decency to say ‘hey I’m leaving after my long shift & another doctor is going to take good care of you’.
#4. The morning after my baby was delivered he came and left my room within 1 minute. Didnt ask how I was & didn’t even acknowledge my baby. He just talked about post-​op stuff.
#5. In my follow-​up appointment I found out he went on vacation. I wouldn’t have given 2 fu*ks at this point. My baby was born and healthy. BUT I had complications and a few things were sent to pathology so I wanted to know the status of that. I was told that if anything was concerning I would be told right away but if I wanted to know anything else I’d have to wait for him to come back from vacation. I was never seen by Huete for my follow-​up but my insurance sent a bill stating otherwise!!!
I would seriously not EVER recommend him as anyone’s OB. Pregnancy is a beautiful time and a woman should be with a compassionate and caring physician. Not someone who’s only interested in the payout.

Dr. Huete is very polite. He answered my questions and gave me tips on how to deal with morning sickness. His office is very clean, and the staff were very helpful and polite as well. I am glad I chose him as my OBGYN Doctor for both my pregnancies.
:)

The staff is unorganized and curt. The doctor himself seems he is in a rush and not very attentive. This is our first pregnancy and we are inexperienced, so a little help and direction would have been appreciated. So if your looking for care you wont find it here. I had raised concerns to the DR and was answered with dismissal. Luckily it was still early enough in my wifes pregnancy that we found a better doctor and no longer required his services.

Dr. Huete is one of the rudest Dr. I have ever met. His service provided was less than adequate and his attitude was unprofessional. He was just plain mean. I would never recumbent this Dr. to anyone.

Not sure why Dr. Huete has such bad reviews hes a very good doctor that has been practicing for years. He answeres questions you may have hes pleasent and polite. He hasnt canceled on me at the last minute. His front desk girls a friendly and his office is clean with plenty of free parking. They even do ultra sounds in the office .
I say try him out and form your own oppinon of his office.

I gave birth at 41 weeks and dr. Huete kept telling me that i had an 8 pounder… And when i was INDUCED at 41 weeks, i was in labor for 12 hours with a high fever and babys heart rate was high… Well… I had to have c section at last minute… Bby was 10 lbs. 23 nches and i wouldnt have been able to have him naturally anyway… So i think he could have atleast tried to do another ultrasound towards the end of pregnancy to measure baby. As i know you cant find out exact measurements ot weight… My son now has hip dysplasia… Hip click… Pretty much because he was so big and didnt have enough room to stretch inside my belly… He needed to come out earlier than the 41 weeks. Baby never dropped like he was supposed to… And i kept telling him i felt him kick right under my breast… I wouldnt recommend dr. Huete… He simply doesnt take time with his patients… He answers questions with short answers. And makes you feel dumb when asking certain questions… and when it comes to your unborn child, no question is dumb… giving birth is a big deal… Short tempered and not too nice to nurses at hospital. No bedside manner. his nurses are nice but kind of question me when i say im still in pain. I cant drive around yet and literally my insides hur! But they question that… Forgot to mention he wanted me to have my son at torrance memorial just to pretty much accomodate his schedule…

This doctor is a horrible person. I barely started my second trimester and I went to him since Little Company of Mary referred me to him. They have him listed as a specialist with high care for high risk pregnancies since that’s what I’m going through and when I went in to see him he said I will nat see yoy because of your high risk pregnancy toyr weight your siabetes and I will not be putting my license on the line for yoy. Go to Harbor Hospital because I will not be attending you here nor at Little Company of Mary. His worda werw so cruel I teared up since I keep hearing I am having a high risk pregnancy yet he did not explain what are the possible complications nor why he would not take me if he is listed as a specialist. He’s a cruel man he walked out of the office did not apologize or give me any kind of consoling words nor offer me a tissue. He did not care. Its a lie that he’s a caring doctor. He has no heart he’s cruel. I will never recommend rhis doctor. As a matter of fact I will contact Little company of mary and the BBB and tell them what a horrible person he is.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS HORRIBLE PERSON!

Dr. Huete is a consummated professional. He is very attentive to his patients needs and he genuinely cares about the well-​being of his patients.
We are extremely happy to have chosen Dr. Huete as our doctor. The only downside is waiting at least a ½ hour even with an appointment.

Our experience with Dr. Huete has been very similar to those of the women who’ve reviewed him so far. This is our first pregnancy so we had many questions and a birth plan in mind that we wanted to discuss with the doctor on our first visit.
He truly does have an arrogant and condescending attitude and insists upon doing things his way with no compromise. My husband and I are planning an unmedicated birth and wanted to know if the doctor would be supportive of our choices. Right away he dismissed our viewpoints as uninformed, and further dismissed our wishes and plans as unnecessary and ridiculous.
He made his stance very clear. «It’s [his] way or the highway».
To add further insult to injury, when we had a question about going past our due date, and/​or what his procedures were for labor induction, he chose to entertain us with an anecdote about a patient who had gone past her due date, opted out of induction and was «walking around with a dead baby».
Dr. Huete’s emotional abuse and insult to intelligence isn’t something that any mother to be should be subjected to. As a patient you have the right to ask questions and inform yourself about what’s right for you, your body and the life of your baby. No one needs to be bullied into submission.
I’d advise everyone to steer clear of this doctor completely.

Although I am very grateful that my childs delivery was smooth and healthy, my experience with the office and Dr. Huete SUCKED! Even with an appointment you are basically guaranteed a wait time of about an hour before you are let in, then another 30 minutes before you are seen for 2 minutes only to be let go and do the cycle all over again…
I felt that Dr. Huete was extremely arrogant, and when I mentioned to him that my period always came exactly every 18 days regardless of what stage my birth control pills was in he said that was «impossible». because I felt like making up a story about my period right???
When I asked him how often he performed episiotomies he became defensive insiting he would perform one if he needed to (I wasnt arguing, just asking. but that gave me an insight as to expect one). Sure enough the day I went into labor everything was going smoothly, and as soon as he walked in he picked up the scissors and cut away! I overhard the nurse really upset after he left telling someone I didnt need an episiotomy that he was always just in a rush to be done with the delivery. The recovery from it wasnt too bad, but I wish he had been more honest about how scissors happy he is.

To sum it up,
Long wait times for a 5 minute rushed appointment, curt girls working there, non personal, they don’t listen to concerns. During delivery, we had to wait hours with the baby almost «out,» before the doctor showed up because he thought I wasn’t going to deliver so fast, he basically caught the baby after 1 push. I had told him that I was concerned that I was going to deliver early for «x» reasons and he didn’t address any, waved me off as being healthy, and going full term, I delivered the very next day 1 month premature. Mind you, my dad is an OB/​GYN, so I wasn’t some crazy patient. I’d give them 1 star but he ran tests, his office filed paperwork correctly, I got to deliver at Little Company of Mary (awesome!), and I had a healthy baby.
