Mba Emmanuel N MD

Although the office could use a much needed facelift, Dr. Mba is exceptionally straight-​forward and doesn’t cut corners or sugar-​coat the truth. However, he is not the most punctual when it comes to appointment times. Being that I am low on patience, the wait tends to be longer than usual. I’ve tried scheduling as the 1^st patient in the morning and the 1^st after lunch, but there is STILL an extended wait. He is my 1^st opinion regarding the removal of a pretty large uterine fibroid, but I will compare him against the 2^nd opinion I receive in the next couple of weeks.

I was referred to Dr. Mba by a lovely lady at church once she knew how severe my cycles are. He was one of three doctors I shopped for a second opinion after not being satisfied with my previous GYN’s office staff and time needed to book appointments.
Dr. Mba’s was the third and final outside opinion I was seeking… shopping for GYNs is NOT fun so, by the time I got to his office, I figured I would just let my then-​GYN go in for a laparoscopy to see what he could and take it from there. Dr. Mba’s office is older and not as «up to date» as the previous ones I had visited, and, I admit, I was being a bit of a snob — until I sat with Dr. Mba! He is SO thorough! He asked less than half the questions the other doctors did and told me what he thought was going on before he confirmed what he could with the ultrasound and exam. He had me looking at things under a microscope, viewing videos, looking at charts… most importantly, he was most concerned with PRESERVING MY FERTILITY since I am unsure about having children and I am considered older in the fertility world. He spent an hour with me! He told me what to have my doctor test and look for. By this time, I wanted HIM to perform my laparoscopy and hysteroscopy… One word of warning — Dr. Mba is VERY blunt! He does not beat around the bush and his sense of humor can be a little dry and possibly taken the wrong way… When I asked if he would perform the surgeries, he told me he didn’t need anymore work! :) He teaches at USC and has a large body of patients because of his expertise and time practicing what you can tell he loves.
Already long story short, he performed my procedures one and a half weeks after my visit with him. My scars are nominal and healing well. I have to wait three full cycles to see how my body takes to the surgeries but EVERY person who has been a patient or knows someone who is/​was rants and raves about the quality of his work. If you have menstrual issues, are interested in conceiving and are interested in one of the best reproductive surgeons in the LA area (I’ve only heard of one other with those accolades), go see Dr. Mba!

I just moved to LA, so I decided to visit Dr. Mba based on his reviews and awards. Although, I waited a little too long, it was well worth it. And I understand why, because he gives you his undivided attention. I felt very comfortable in the care of Dr. Mba. He went above and beyond to do all the necessary tests to ensure I was in good health, and he took the time to sit with me in his office to answer any questions I may have. He is very caring and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him to any of my family or friends.

Dr. Mba really takes his time with his patients, to explain what he is doing, to answer questions, to show you slides and anything else you could imagine. I felt attended to completely because he was not in a rush and treated me with respect, as the expert of my own body. This individual attention means you wait a tad more, but it was not unreasonably long. The office staff are also very helpful, giving me thorough directions ahead of time and helping me sort out parking. I gladly take an attentive staff and Dr who make me feel welcome and important any day! I have been to many doctors where I felt like just another number, and I am happy to have found a new one who is just the opposite.

I loveeeee dr. Emmanuel :}
I NEVER write reviews, but just had to!
I am currently seeing dr. Emmanuel & before him, I visited 2 OB-GYN’s
Th first was a UCLA dr, which was so rude. & then a second doctor in Rancho
Thi was the first dr that takes time each visit & sits with you & answers all our questions. Most importatly checks the baby’s heart & body to make sure it is doing well.
He is the best! Totally recommend.
