Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Wonderful Experience
I hesitate to write this glowing review because it took me awhile to get my first appointment with Dr Hyman, but I'm doing it anyway. Dr Hyman was knowledgable, thorough and very upbeat during our visit. The physical exam was the most comprehensive I've had in years and she addressed issues that I hadn't even thought to bring up. Her staff was friendly and professional and I was seen exactly on time. I cannot recommend Hyman highly enough.

I am a patient of Dr. Hyman's. (Miha Matei Zeltzer) I called the office today because I have been in pain for one month, on the lower left side of my abdomen. I thought maybe it was a gastroenterology issue and have had an ultrasound, a ct scan and lab work and everything has come back to be 'normal'. My gastro dr said I should go see my gynecologist, so I called to make an appt. I explained that I was in pain and have been in pain for a month already and was told that the soonest the dr can see me is one month from today and that the best they can do for me is put me on a wait list for cancellations. This is unacceptable. How can the dr not take her own patient who is in pain. This is not OK. I am beyond disappointed, especially since I thought I had a GYN who cares. Shame on your staff, as well, for being so cold on the phone. Unbelievable...

Went to Dr. Hyman for a well women’s visit, which they said would be free and is supposed to be free under the ACA. I had recently lost my job and only went because they said it would be free. Instead, after I left the appt. they decided to charge me $160. Such bad business!!!! I will NEVER go to them again and I’ve told everybody I know what a scam they are and how they’ll rip you off. Don’t go there, they’re not to be trusted!!!!

I can not say enough about this wonderful doctor. Firstly, she is super knowledgeable and uses her experience and knowledge to explain things to you and calm you especially if you're a worrier. Secondly she truly cares about you! She has amazing bedside manner and I rave about her to all my friends. During a recent personal episode, she literally called me every day to check up on me. I mean which doctor does that??? Anyways I truly feel blessed that she's been my OB for the past 8 years!!

The office does not care about the patients or their urgent needs. I called to say I had a huge concern and needed to see the doctor. They said I had to wait 2 weeks. The day of, a major accident happened on the frwy...to be courteious, I called to alert them of my delay...they cancelled my appt immediately and stated I had to wait another 2 weeks!

When we made the decision on who to deliver our child, my husband, a physician himself, and I both agreed there’s nobody more competent and compassionate than Dr Hyman. I’ve gone to her ever since and everyone of my friends I’ve referred feels the same.

Had a tubal ligation consult. The most offensive experience of my entire life. "NO ONE is going to do this on a 29 year old"...."Why don't you want children? Do you hate them?" (YES REALLY)...."The risk is that I do this, three weeks later you get a new boyfriend and he's always wanted kids and you can't give them to him." Never even asked about my own life/career/relationships. Grossly patronizing, dismissive, judgmental - I have other choice words. Suffice it to say, don't waste your time.

Worse doctor I had ever done surgery with, she left me on the operating table over an hour cutting my bladder from my uterus to make the removal and did she not think i might have horrible pain after that? She release me from the hospital next day after turning off my morphine drip and said take tyenol. I said are you kidding I can't even move without horrible pain. Her and her associate Tio just told me tough it out they gave me nothing for the pain. I had many sleepless night & 3 mo. Recovery

She is defenitely one of those special doctors who works in her profession for all the right reasons Everyone knows her & say the same thing: great doctor, we need more like her ! I could have not asked for or imagined to have a better doctor to deliver our first baby. It was an amazing experience all the way to The end.We're so thankfu
