Dwight Mark MD

Dr. Dwight is the greatest! I could make a really long list of all of the reasons why, but I will give you just one.
(If you have never had a baby don’t read this…)
During hard labor, my baby was sunny side up; which was making it really tough to get even a six pounder out. Additionally, it was my first time.
Dr Dwight never told me that my baby was faced the wrong way (I’m pretty sure he knew it would only tax me emotionally to know that I had to work extra hard– I had already been working pretty damn hard). Instead, at one point, he told me that if he clipped me a bit, it would make the baby come out sooner. He asked my permission, and I gave an emphatic yes!
I really appreciated his wisdom, discernment, and care along the course of pregnancy and during labor.
If you live in Los Angeles, Dr. Dwight is absolutely the doctor you want caring for you and your bay.

WOWWW !!! Wish I can give him a million stars. What an amazing DOCTOR. I drove 1 hour just to go see him because of the reviews he had on health grades, and I am so happy that I made that choice. My first visit with him I was so comfortable and confident with him as my doctor I scheduled a surgery for the following week with him, and of coarse the surgery was flawless. And the recovery has been great. If you are looking for a doctor that actually listens to you and cares about your health NOT his pocket and diagnosis properly, GO TO DOCTOR MARC DWIGHT.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Dwight. He is by far the best doctor I’ve ever had. My husband and I went to him for the delivery of our first child. He was extremely patient with us and answered all of our many questions. He is thorough, personable, and an excellent doctor. He made what can be a tough experience extremely pleasant. Look no further… Dr. Dwight is a joy to work with and I’ll miss seeing him now that I’m not pregnant!

If I could give Dr Dwight a hundred stars, I would.
I’d been looking for a new OB/​Gyn for a long time and was finally referred to Dr Dwight after 4 – 5 interviews with other docs. My husband and I went to our first appointment when I was 6 weeks pregnant and we were thrilled. Every concern I’ve ever had regarding my pregnancy or otherwise was always alleviated with such sound advice. He’s had so much experience and the best bedside manner you’ll EVER find in ANY doctor.
My birth plan was followed to a T. Something I hear is quite uncommon.
He takes the time to answer all questions and doesn’t make you feel like a moron for asking obvious questions.
If I see a pregnant woman around my neighborhood, I always ask who her doc is and if she likes them (if it’s not Dr Dwight). If she’s iffy about who she’s going to, I recommend this guy and say she’s in for a real treat.
Dr Yamaguchi, his partner, is terrific as well! Lovely, attentive, skilled…

I am so super grateful for Dr. Dwight. He delivered my second baby in November and he made everything so much easier for me. He always is happy and gives you great confidence.
I had to have a c-​section for a second time due to that I have a muscle that develops during pregnancy and I am not able to deliver naturally. You can barely see my scar and I recovered so fast.
I have multiple friends who has delivered with him as well and is so happy with him.
Thank you so much and I can never say enough great things about him.

I came to Dr Dwight out of a terrible mess from a OB/​GYN office I have been dealing with for the 1^st 5 months of my pregnancy and 1 ER visit later which I came out of undiagnosed…
Dr Dwight saw me on short notice, and to my surprise, spent so much time with me & never once made me feel rushed, he also DIAGNOSED me, finally! For the 1^st time in my pregnancy I feel like I am with a doctor who TRULY cares, sees me & my baby, and wants to help in any way possible. In my 1^st meeting with Dr Dwight I was given MORE information about birth, my experience & responsibility, referred to a pediatrician & helped with birth classes then my entire experience at by LB doctors & an ER OB doc.
He is the kindest doctor I have ever met.
I finally feel confident with the caring hands my baby & I are in. I will also have to update when I deliver.
Dr Dwight is a diamond in the rough!

i haven’t delivered my baby yet, so i’ll have to come back to update this review after she’s born in december, but having read some of the negative reviews compelled me to throw my opinion into the ring and defend a great doctor.
at least 3 of my close friends and even more friends of friends recommended dr. dwight to me and to a friend of mine who is also pregnant. i have never received so many glowing reviews from such a disparate group of people regarding a doctor or any service provider, for that matter. these aren’t people who use Unilocal,else i’m sure dr. dwight’s 4 start rating would be 5.
just to address a few things from previous reviews that just aren’t accurate, at least in my or my friend’s experience:
— 3d ultrasounds: not only does he NOT push these, he doesn’t even have the equipment to do them. when i requested a 3d ultrasound, he told me that he thinks they’re a gimmicky waste of money.
— staff doesn’t have forms: the staff not only always has the forms i’ve need, they have anticipated when i needed a second copy (because i lost the first copies) two different times. when an office can anticipate your needs before you know you need it, that’s pretty incredible.
— paper gowns: all the gowns in all of the exam rooms have been cloth in my experience. the only paper is the rolled paper on the exam tables and the paper cover for your lap during exams where you’re not in a gown. and the office has always been very accommodating to discretion, knocking before entering rooms and giving plenty of time to undress and get dressed after an exam.
— doesn’t remember info: this one is the hardest for me to believe, because dr. dwight remembers little tidbits that i don’t always remember telling him. and he even follows up on questions i asked at previous appointments.
— office doesn’t call with results: they have said this to me twice… that they probably wouldn’t call unless something was wrong… but they’ve always called with results, positive, negative or inconclusive. sometimes it’s a nurse, sometimes it’s dr. dwight himself.
i think his nurses are lovely and always take the time to chat if other patients aren’t waiting. the front desk staff is always very busy, but several folks on that team know me by name at this point and are always perfectly polite. dr. dwight consistently goes above and beyond for me, which is rare with doctors in such busy practices. i have recommended him to several friends in the 7 – 8 months that i have known him and i will continue to recommend him as long as he’s in practice.

This is my first baby and Dr. Dwight was my first prenatal care giver. I visited this doctor from 8 weeks to 24 weeks and I will say that he is very personable and made me feel comfortable. At every monthly visit I received an ultrasound. Being a first timer I thought that this was a bit excessive. A few friends with children even said it wasn’t normal to have so many ultrasounds. I figured that maybe with the way technology was advancing, it became necessary to have an ultrasound ever appointment. Time pasted and appointment after appointment seemed routine. Really routine. I felt like I was never getting any new information on my baby. No measurements, no heart rate, no growth or development updates. Only «everything looks good». Appointments were lasting 10 minutes max and I always felt like I was missing something, but of course I didn’t know what it should be like considering this is my first rodeo.
On top of stagnant appointments the routine ultra sounds were highly disappointing. I didn’t understand the purpose of showing me a staticy monitor and then printing out a picture of it as if that made it any clearer. I could see nothing on screen and nothing on print. His reasoning was that at 16 weeks you can’t see much because of where the baby is positioned. That same excuse carried into the 20^th week and the 24^th week. At that point I knew something was amiss.
I scheduled an appointment with an ultrasound clinic days after my appointment with Dwight and got an awesome visual of my little one, they even gave me a gender confirmation that I could actually see. Dr. Dwight couldn’t get me a visual of this and gave me a 80% chance it was one gender every visit. At this point I wanted to see what else is out there. I was hesitant to switch because of all the great reviews I read about this guy but it took a push from my fiancé to wake up. he said that this guy may work for other people but this is about your experience, if you feel like you aren’t getting everything you need there is no harm in looking.
I visited a new doctor in Chino who is closer to my house and got a lot of great information. Unfortunately this office shed some like of what Dr Dwight and his office were lacking. My new doctor questioned the medical records I brought over from Dr. Dwight’s office. She wondered why there was no ultrasound report. Ultra sound report? I had no idea what that was. She said its the size and growth measurements of the baby and it’s organs. She said there should at least be one to ensure proper development. I told her I have done an ultrasound with his office 6 times, there should be a report. After my appointment I called Dr. Dwight’s office and asked about ultrasound reports. The receptionist put me on hold then returned with Dr. Dwight doesn’t perform these reports. THIS DOCTOR HAS NO IDEA HOW MY BABY IS DEVELOPING… is all that answer means to me. I was very disappointed.
Here are my pros and cons of Dr. Dwight and his office:
Pros:
Kind, tells funny stories, personable, made me feel comfortable
Cons:
Doesn’t remember things you told him at your last appointment, not attentive, always seems rushed, doesn’t offer any information, constantly pushing tests and 3d ultra sounds (Must get a referral fee), Staff never has the proper forms, staff never answers the phone (on hold for 15 plus minutes), appointments feel stagnant.
I would hate to assume that this doctor was charging my insurance for a job that was not being fulfilled. A lot was left desired and I am very happy I switched. I was told by him that his practice focuses on older women with high risk pregnancies and that I was his youngest patient. I would think a Dr. That deals with high risk pregnancies would have more precautionary procedures than staring at fuzzy screens. I take me being the youngest as being the most naïve, and he felt that he could get away with the bare minimum. I feel cheated.
I would not recommend this doctor to anyone I know. The lesson I learned was to not take an HMO doctor when you have a PPO. All they see is cash.

Articulate, compassionate, intelligent and has a good bedside demeanor… My wife chose Dr Dwight after meeting several other OB/​GYNs. We are now in the middle of our first pregnancy and could not be more pleased with Dr. Dwight. He is patient, caring, explains everything in detail and helps you make informed decisions.
Depending on when you schedule your appointment we have experienced some longer wait times to see him but it’s a doctors office so kind of expected. So we generally shoot for the first am or pm appointment of the day.
Only cons are paying for parking.(usually $ 4 – 6) and that the office is a little dated.
Would definitely recommend Dr. Dwight!

Absolutely love this doctor and his partner, Dr. Yamaguchi. I had a scheduled c-​section and it was the most wonderful birthing experience I could’ve hoped for, given the circumstances. These two are so gently, caring and knowledgeable, if I end up having another baby, they will be l delivering. Highly recommend.

Dr. Dwight is patient and takes his time to answer all your questions. However, just like any HMO doctors, he sees so many patients he doesn’t call you to follow up. Basically, you are on your own once you go home.
However, his office is a little dated. He is affiliated with Good Samaritan Hospital. We found the hospital dated but clean.
All in all, would recommend this doctor.

Dr. Dwight is the best physician I have ever met. He takes so much time with each patient to answer all questions and make sure that the patient is comfortable. He clearly demonstrates expertise as an OB and speaks candidly and intelligently (though compassionately) — NEVER patronizing. He is very supportive of natural birth but encourages medical intervention when he feels it is truly in the best interest of mom and baby. I really don’t have a negative comment to make about him, nor do my two sisters who have also delivered with him.

Dr. Dwight was referred to me by an MD who is also married to an MD .he delivered their 3 kids, so I figured he HAD to be good. I soon learned over the course of my ten months, he must have delivered half of LA! From random discussions with friends I had that ended up in me saying: OMG HE DELIVERED YOUR BABY TOO!!! To MATERNITY NURSES AT GOOD SAM Dwight had delivered their baby! Their office delivered Madonna’s baby! This does lead to a busy office but they do the best they can… he does start seeing patients at 7:30 am. I dislike the answering service in the morning, long holds to get message across u are stuck in LA traffic :(
–he is knowledgable, his back up Samantha Yamaguchi is great!
–returns call same day but I have never called where do not say «can you please hold»
— friendly nurses
–will support your birth plan but has delivered a lot of babies to add the caveat that YOUR BABY will decide how he or she will be born…
— almost went with mid wife at Good Sam but I felt more comfortable with good medical team, having a «birth experience» was defined as having a healthy baby as I am over 35 in the end it was good choice as I developed gestational diabetes, resulting in big baby (8.9lb) and a c section… I did find out on a Wednesday that Saturday was my surgery I do wish more discussion was had around babies born this way may spend time in NICU and NICU tends to over feed babies and makes it hard on breastfeeding. (Expands their belly with FORMULA and colostrum was not in for several DAYS on my end)…u do not see baby until day 2, standing up on day 2 was painful… none of this was discussed and since its my first I didn’t know to ask :(
Conclusion: you are in good hands, but busy man! He loves what he does. Yamaguchi is awesome. Good Sam was ok… facility is old, mix bag of nurses some I loved… two I was NOT happy with but several people said c section recovery depends on quality of your MD I was up and about from day 3 and never looked back… son is doing great & so am I… in the event your natural birth gets turned into a medical procedure like a c section HE IS YOUR MD

Dr. Dwight is amazing! Simply amazing experience having him throughout my pregnancy. Thanks to him, we were able to have the safe, drug free VBAC that we wanted. Thank Dr. Dwight!

Dr. Dwight delivered my baby one year ago and it was the most amazing experience, a dream natural delivery (other that my uncontrollable, top of my lungs screaming that occured during each contraction). I missed him after all was said and done and will definitely deliver my next baby with him.

Dr. Dwight delived my twins at 33 weeks. I was so fortunate to have him as my doctor. Not only is he cuorteous and knowledgeable, but he is patient, kind, supportive and brilliant. Never in a rush. Great listener. On top of it all the time. During my pregnancy and after. My kids were at the NICU for a while and he kept visiting them there. Dr. Dwight had two other doctors watch my pregnancy and they too are just great — Dr. Yamaguchi and Dr. Buchner. What a great team!
P. S. My twins are almost 6 months old and are doing great thanks to Dr. Dwight and his colleagues.

I just met Dr. Dwight after having a mediocre and short visit with another OB and was so stunned by the difference. Dr. Dwight is absolutely great at making you feel comfortable, informed and not rushed.
Dr. Dwight seems to genuinely enjoy his job and you feel as if you are the first person he’s met with that day even though he’s been up all night.
He is an advocate for having you give birth your way whether that is natural or not. He allows you and the baby to decide.
I am very pleased that my first ultrasound was performed with Dr. Dwight and I look forward to seeing him throughout the birth of my first baby.

Dr. Dwight delivered my son via c section 3 years ago and I think the best of him. I had very much wanted a natural delivery, and he was very supportive, but when I went 2 weeks past my due date and developed pre-​eclampsia I ended up in surgery.
Dr. Dwight was very patient with me even when I was a total pain in the butt. I am now expecting my second baby and he is very open to me trying for a VBAC. I trust his medical expertise and truly believe that he has my best interest in mind when making suggestions about the birth.
During my first pregnancy I did have a lengthy wait a couple of times, but both times were due to his having to attend emergency c sections. This time around I have found his office to be extremely efficient. The reception staff, while not all lollipops and rainbows, has always been friendly enough.
I also really appreciate the time Dr. Dwight takes with me during our appointments. When I have questions he never makes me feel rushed. He is also prompt to return phone calls.
No doctor has a perfect track record, but I trust Dr. Dwight and never hesitate to recommend him.

Doctor Dwight delivered my son a year ago, and I still think about him often. He is hands down, the most wonderful and caring doctor I’ve ever known. Our visits with Dr. Dwight were the highlights of the pregnancy (that, and feeling the baby kick of course :)). He would always reassure any insecurities my husband or I had, and really took his time during the appointments to sit down and have a conversation with us, giving his full attention and making us feel like we were the only thing that mattered to him at that moment. He never showed any indication of trying to hurry up our appointments for any reason, yet I know full well that he had a room full of patients waiting to see him, phone calls to make, and rounds to make at the hospital. When it was my turn to deliver, he was constantly at my side, checking in, encouraging me. again, like we were his highest priority.
I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Dwight. I wish there were more like him, because after being under his care, all my other doctors pale in comparison.

Eeeek! I am very shock to read bad reviews for Dr. Dwight! I have never had a bad experience and even when I called with questions people were able to answer. I’ll admit one time I called and the person was rude but not over the top rude– I mean I think I can sound like that at work sometimes. Still, every time I go, they are quick, they are on top of it and for the most part polite.
Trust ppl, I’ve had interesting interactions with staff members at doctor’s offices.
About Dr. Dwight, I have to admit– I am so impressed. He takes lots of notes during appts that help him remember the patient and its nice to feel remembered. I have the «white coat syndrome» basically I panic at the sight of a doctor, I automatically think I am dying! But in his office I feel comfortable and he’ll answer all my questions with great detail.
I have actually recommended him to anyone with a V.
