Josephine Saad, MD

This Dr office is so unorganized they did some test that was require to send to the lab it’s been over two weeks and still haven’t got them back. First they tell me it was cancelled some way some how and they’re going to resend the test out. Let me remind you I’ve been calling there office everyday and they tell me no results yet. I’m here today I ask have they got my test back yet they tell me no again. I was told all there test go out to San Diego. Whhhat! When u guys told me lab corp which is right across the way from there office and then they tell me my test was mixed up instead of it goin to San Diego it went Birmingham, Alabama WTF! And now the Dr is telling me they have to retest me send it out again because it’s lost. That’s that bullshit. Horrible office I get these results back I’m done with this office. And for one idk what they have these women covering there legs with while getting examining by the Dr some raggedy white cloths smh but u need new shit.

The staff is super nice and got me a next day appointment, but an hour after my appointment time I’m still waiting for the doctor. She is not even in the office yet. This is bad. I have things to do and went out of my way to get here. The least the doctor could do is be here too, or have her staff call me to reschedule if she is unavailable.

It’s been about a year since I’ve been to this office because I kept putting off rating it. I don’t know where to start… The receptionist Cindy was always very helpful and nice to me. There was also a older, smaller lady with a kind smile… She was lovely too. Other than that, I hated this place. As far as cleanliness goes, they put Doctor gloves in some cheap tray under the bed they put you on. The tray has no top. You can imagine what bodily fluids from patients might’ve flown onto the gloves she uses to check you. There is also a jar with «tools» thrown together (also without a lid) which I hope they just forget to throw out. As far as Dr Saad goes, she never stood more than a minute after doing check ups. She will rush through whatever she has to say and walk out the room. There was also a visit when I had a rash all over my stomach, she didn’t even mention anything about it even though she had seen it. She seemed to have gotten upset when I stopped her from leaving the room and asked her about it. The day of labor, the hospital had called her so she can deliver and we waited at least an hour and by that time, the baby was ready to come out. She ran in AFTER I delivered the baby and got upset that they didn’t «wait» for her. I still wish the nurse who delivered my baby was the name on the bottom of the certificate. I will not be returning to this office in the future.

Terrible service. I was referred to Dr. Saad for my pregnancy but unfortunately their office cancelled my appointment twice. Both cancellations happened a day before my scheduled appointment and than they tried to reschedule me 2 weeks later (the best they could do). Both times their excuse was Dr. Saad has an «all day» appointment & will not be in the office. Why book me for an appointment if you know the doctors not in??? Ugh.
By the time I finally get in and see their doctor, i’ll be ready to give birth! Unfortunately reviews are true, I wouldn’t give this office a second look.

I made an appointment here to find out about different types of birth control and have an exam. Worst service ever! The staff was awful and the wait time was ridiculous! When I went inside and finally met with the doctor she was very cold and uninformative. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Do not go here ! We had an appointment 11:00 and now its 12:10 and we are still sitting in the waiting area. What’s the point of making appointment for? This is our first and will be the last time visiting this place. So unprofessional.

Obviously I was not very happy with my visits.
A few points…
They scheduled me for a 12 PM appointment. The doctor walked in after 1 PM, wasting my lunch hour (I guess she was able to enjoy hers). Looks like other reviewers here had to experience the same long wait.
The doctor was not very friendly, helpful nor informative; how can she be trustworthy if she says so little, and isn’t informative at all?
Office staff is rude and not friendly at all. In the waiting room, you can easily hear what they say to each other. For example, one took a call and when the call is over, she muttered «she sounds terrible» among other negative things. Similar situation happened on my 2^nd visit. Umm… even if a patient sounds terrible on the phone, you shouldn’t say that in a room full of other patients!!!
Also they promised to call me and give me my test results… however, I never got them and had to ask for it myself. Shows how inconsistent and unreliable they are.
There is an ultrasound specialist who only works on certain days. The wait for ultrasounds are long too. Not sure why Dr. Saad can’t do ultrasounds herself. Anyways, the specialist was rushed and quickly told me that everything was fine… when really it was not. How did I know? I went to another OB/​GYN doctor shortly after, who I am so thankful for visiting especially after these negative experiences with Dr. Saad.
Trust me and the other reviewers here… just don’t go here.

after doing a lot of research she is the best obgyn in my area, once i got to a certain point in my pregnancy her additude changed and became kinder. Her staff is working on becoming more organized, and there is a problem with the wait time but its only because shes actually delivering babies. In then end if you are going to be having a child its good to know she will actually be there. shes the kind of doctor where you tell her everything that is wrong and all your concerns when u see her so make a list!

Dr Saad is a very good doctor. Yes, people complain about the wait time, but remember, would u just want to be seen in and out and not know whats going on with your baby or the problems that you are having. So yes, i think she is definitly worth the wait and is very accurate with her information. Also during delivery she is very patient and helps a lot to get the baby out. I would recommend her and I would come back for future pregnancies :)

She is a good dr and the office staff and nurses are nice. However, the wait times are beyond belief. I am still sitting here at 5 pm for a 345 appt. I have been coming here for 4 years and this is the norm. Also, I only had one simple question and they made me schedule an appt for that, so I have paid my co pay and have been sitting here for over an hour for a question. So be warned and decide for yourself if the waits are worth it or not. I Happen To Be Moving On From Here, But Because I Don’t Need An OB/​Gyn, I Will be Seeing a GynO/​Menopause/​Osteoporosis Specialist Without The Ob. For Leilani’s Review, On My Last Visit, There was NO Other Patients There Except For Me, The Drs Relatives Were There On A Personal Visit, So Dr Behavior Unexcused. She Saw Me When I Told The Front Desk I Wanted My Copay Back And Would Not Be rescheduling.

I’ve been going to Dr. Saad for the past 5 years. She is such a warm and laid back Dr. The nurses and the staff there are so friendly which makes me ok with the wait time. Going to ObGyn always leads to a wait since sometimes they’re gone for deliveries. I also have done laser hair removal there. The first time is what hurts the most. However, after that it wasn’t bad at all. Also, i had skin Genesis treatments, which reduced the size of pores and cleared my face. I’m so happy with the results. The prices are very reasonable.
Overall, i can’t give this awesome Dr and staff anything less than 5 stars.
I totally recommend this office.
Also, the above address isn’t correct.
The office is located at: 5750 Downey Ave. Suit #201. Lakewood, CA 90 712.

I’m giving Dr. Saad 1 star, & that’s being nice! The only reason why I ended up at this place is because I had MediCal, and not many doctors in my area accepted it.
My first visit was okay. The nurse was nice and she gave me all the pregnancy do’s and don’ts. The only thing I thought was weird is that she told me I couldn’t have any hamburgers, pizza, fast food, and tortillas?! I understand you shouldn’t be eating a bunch of greasy foods while you’re pregnant, but it’s not gonna kill you! I’m 19 years old and I eat pretty healthy for my age, but the nurse automatically assumed that because I was so young that I didn’t get the proper nutrition that I needed.
During my first visit I also had a sonogram to determine exactly how far along I was. At the time, I was 12 weeks. As the ultrasound tech was giving me the sonogram, she wasn’t telling me anything that she was doing which would’ve been nice since I wanted to see my baby and where her arms, legs, feet, hands, etc. were. So instead, we just sat there in silence majority of the time.
On my 3^rd visit, to determine the baby’s gender, I had a nicer ultrasound tech. He told me everything that he was doing and gave us the good news that we were having a GIRL! This was probably my most exciting/​pleasant visit at this office. However, the first ultrasound tech. got my due date wrong and I was apparently 2 weeks farther along than I expected. This bothered me because to this day, I still don’t know my EXACT due date since it seems to change everytime I go in.
My most recent visit was the WORST. Since my first visit and my most recent, I had gained about 25 lbs. During your whole pregnancy you’re only supposed to gain 25 – 30 lbs, and I was nowhere near the end of my pregnancy. In the beginning I weighed 110lbs and now I’m at 135. My nurse and doctor freaked out and made me feel like I was unhealthy because I had gained so much weight! They told me that if I keep eating, the baby is going to get bigger and probably won’t be able to «fit» so then I’ll have to have a C-​Section. My doctor also referred me to a dietician because she obviously thought that I needed better eating habits.
Overall, my visits were not fun. I wasn’t excited to see the doctor like I should be because all they focused on was the negative things that were going on. They also have you waiting for an hour to actually see the doctor. I WOULD NEVER recommend this doctor to anyone!
