Posters read, “achieve a slimmer, more natural-looking appearance,” perpetuating such harmful body standards. OBGYNs should feel like a safe space, this feels like the opposite.P

If you need any help, it’s better to stop by but it’s still not a 100% guaranteed. I would advise to look for another place. Avoid Dr. Pravdin if you want your prescription refilled on time.H
10min visit and charged me $400 and said obsoletely nothing to my concerns, not friendly place and all they care about is $$$. avoid this place for good.C

The treatment felt very formulaic and not individualized at all, and the doctor came across as more interested in billing than in my health. The price was totally out of proportion to the service. I would not recommend this place at all!!G

The doctor and nurses were so kind, professional, and made me feel completely at ease. I really appreciated the follow-up call after my tests — they took the time to explain everything in detail and answer all my questions, providing truly caring and attentive service.S
Dr. Pravdin was excellent! She was informative and non-judgmental.N

After experiencing multiple miscarriages, we had lost hope, but she restored our faith and referred us to an excellent reproductive specialist. Throughout my pregnancy, I faced many challenges, but her support and confidence reassured me. Thanks to her and we are forever grateful to Dr. Pravdin!P
Dr Swierz is super nice and very patient. Wife really likes her. We’ve been coming to the clinic since last year. We had, overall, a great experience.T
I like Dr Pravdin, but it is so hard for me to schedule an appointment here. Ive called at least 10 times and cant get anyone to answer the phone.Y

Leilani at the front desk is the kindest and most helpful person I've come across when visiting medical offices - she is amazing! Dr. Rydfors is amazing too. He explained many things to my husband and I very clearly and he listens and cares. I am blown away by this place. There was a wait time to be seen for my appointment but I was considerately warned of this several times before coming in, it was no problem at all.M
Very responsive, caring, and knowledgeable staff.

I was pregnant normally without any sign of miscarriage, but the doctor give presubscription for high dorse progesterone for 20 weeks, without any testing of pregesterone level. I had normal blood sugar level, but the doctor give presubscription of high dorse metformin. Ironically, he refused my request to test A1c. And the doctor emphasize I had a high risk of misscage without any sign or evidence, which imposed huge pressure on me. Besides, the doctor ordered many genetic tests that the insurance not covered, though the front desk told me that everything would be covered by insurance. Until now after 1+ year of the testing, I'm still working on the huge bills (15K$) for those tests. Thanks that I switched to other clinics and skipped other tests ordered by dr. R, otherwise I would end up with a even larger bill. I talked to multiple other patients, and found that it is pretty common for this clinic to over medication and over testing especially for the expensive ones, while misses the cheap ones. Also, if you decided to work with this clinic, be ready to spend more than half a day each visit. I have experience like appt is at 6:30am while met the doctor at 12pm; appt at 3pm and met the doctor at 9pm. And they didn't tell you when you can see the doctor but just kept you waiting there.T
Terrible. Let you wait for at least 1-1.30 hours because they overbook their scheduleF

She makes you feel right at home, shows how much she cares about her patients, goes above and beyond to be accommodating and really makes you feel like family. She is impartial when it comes to special circumstances and specific situations and really focuses on your family planning goals. I truly love coming to see Dr. Swierzs. I would highly recommend her to anyone in the area.A

Front desk completely incapable of scheduling appointments and actually sending accurate information. I have really enjoyed being treated by a variety of doctors here. The front office staff like Yvette and others are so so kind and helpful. Yes, it’s a busy office. Yes, you might sit on hold for a while. But when you need help, they are there for you!J

Received a Bill stating the visit was $578 with a discount of $208.57 "Contract-actual Agreement" and my insurance had covered none of the services. So stuck with a close to $400 bill with no results. All in all, poor business practices and false feeling of reassurance was given. Would not recommend - especially if someone is struggling and see's this course of action, gives less and less trust with the people that is suppose to help.B

We were originally scheduled to see a separate medical office, who cancelled the week of. Freya not only fit us in, they got us in that week and have taken amazing care of us since then. They are truly available all the time, whether it be a simple question or checking in on test results. Dr. Pravdin is very kind and knowledgeable. They have made this process easy for us!H

I tried to ask for them while the main office never answered my call and the on-site team kept transferring my call to the main office - where nobody answers of course. Btw, nobody takes the call before the visit either, although I did see more than 3 people working at the front desk when I visit, just chatting there. It seems they would block you/transfer you to nowhere after you make the appointment. In that case pls let people be aware of that then they know no need to waste time with you. I visited a couple of other facilities and nobody else did this way. Very unprofessionalV
Super unprofessional. Dr Assai, Cancelled my appointment once and then didn't show up when I rescheduled. The person picking up the call is super rude and just puts you on hold.

Per his instructions, I am to get “depression” medicine and get PTNS treatment with his clinic assistant Kristen to remedy my bladder issue. And this is where the problem began… Kristen is highly unprofessional in the matter that she never puts her patients at ease. PTNS is a treatment utilize a single acupuncture needle into your ankle-ish area & apply electric current to it. So having a needle into your foot is already painful (should only be sore if she knows what she’s doing), yet she would pressured you to go 1-2 level higher on the electric current that what you’re comfortable with, and mentioned her elder patient could go as high as 19. She is also very inconsistent with her patients informing them due to room availability with the doctors, we should arrive at a later time and when we do, she’d get mad at us for arriving late despite her previous instructions. She’d always make us wait for 40+ minutes even though all the rooms are empty, which I discovered when I walk by on my way to the restroom while waiting on her. Last but not least it’s their billing system at Freyja Clinic, they’d overcharge you for extended doctor visit because Kristen made me wait 40+ minutes just to see the doctor, then their billing lady would say their code has nothing to do with wait time despite our insurance companies confirmed they select a billing code based on wait time. I’ve canceled my follow up appointment with Freyja Clinic, should’ve checked Yelp first, and I’m NEVER GOING BACK TO THIS CLINIC.S

All the doctors I’ve encountered are wonderful and do their best to look at you as a whole person and not just within the specific scope of your visit. They take the time that is necessary to treat you rather than rush you through to get to the next patient. Yes this means that you could be waiting sometimes. To me, this is much preferable than to be rushed as “just another number” like many doctors tend to do. If the doctor is behind, I know it is because he genuinely cares for his patients and will spend the same amount of time with me as he did the others that causes him to run behind. The office explains for you to call ahead so you can know if he is running behind that day. I understand how some people may not like this, but it is explained when you book the visit. I’m very happy with this clinic and how much kindness and compassion they spend with their patients and for the high quality of care they render.L

Dr Nasta tends to over charge you for services that should be included in a child’s well check visit and if you try to see any of the other pediatricians they tell you that’s not allowed and constantly call you to change you back with Dr Nasta. The medical assistants who work there never answer the phone and are constantly gossiping and during the covid times hardly any followed covid protocols.J

When asked about the pricing, their answer is we charge the highest allowable amount for this code under your insurance. In fact, they let me wait in an empty doctor’s office for an full hour past my appointment time before my doctor comes in for this visit. They obviously think their time is much more valuable than yours. Oh, also on average you need to call them 10+ times for billing issues before someone respond after 5 days of leaving them messages. So good luck visiting Freyja clinic!R

Dr. Nasta is our pediatrician and we really like her holistic approach and really cares for her little patients. I agree with the rest of the reviews, be prepared to wait a long time to see the doctors, this is my only complaint.A

Dr. Pravdin has been my ob/gyn for close to 10 years and has overseen my 3 pregnancies/births. Dr. Nasta is our pediatrician. Yes the wait times are bad at times, but I’ve gotten used to it and I always call an hour ahead of time to check on possible delays so I don’t rush to get there only to have to wait. The wait is worth the stellar service!B
Waiting time is long but Dr Pradvin is very patient in addressing all my concern and spend time to explain all of them. I recommend her and will keep her as my dr.M

There is no one more thorough, deeply knowledgeable, super smart and genuinely caring. I've been driving from San Jose to see him for over 13 years. Yes, the wait can be long and parking might be tight at times. And when you are seen, you will get 100% the same thoughtful care as those who went before. Worth it!E

Some of the admin staff is pretty horrible, with a few exceptions who really tries to make your experience better. Often calls ring and go straight to voicemail with a policy of 48-72 hours of return call. If you're looking for an appt then they tell you there's none available with your requests because they wait 2-3 days before returning your message. They don't ever identify themselves when they pick up the phone and everyone tells you different information. When I ask who am I speaking with, the staff would say anyone in the clinic can help you. Then when the staff asked where I heard the info from, I was unable to provide names. It's been frustrating to say the least with the admin staff. I wish I can recommend this place but I truly cannot. If it wasn't my care has been established here for a few years, I would have gone somewhere else. The admin service definitely has gotten worse over the years.S

He has a lot of patients but care very well about you. The only thing: be patient for this kind of doctor. You will just find a few here in US not ike the car dealers the other ones are. You will not get a C section if you don't need one. He will not make pay your insurance for something you don't need. You can call prior to your appointment to know how late he is.A

His partners and office staff are thoroughly professional, caring, informed, compassionate, and kind. Dr Rydfors is usually late for his appointments. The reason is because he will give each of his patients as much time as they need to answer any and all questions and explore any fertility related roadblocks. He has the best bedside manner is a kind, decent, human being and extremely skilled OBGYN.J

My appointment was at 11:30am. I arrived 20 minutes early to make sure I wasn't running late. After waiting over an hour I asked the front desk how much longer it would be. They didn't realize I was still waiting and advised another 15 minutes until I would be seen. I wasn't checked in until around 1pm. I was in the treatment room for another 20 minutes and decided to leave. I was advised they had an emergency at 10:00am which put their schedule behind. I understand this can happen however it would have been most helpful to be told this when I arrived so I could make the decision on whether I was willing to wait 2 hours or to re-schedule. I drove 1.5 hours from home to visit this clinic because I thought it would provide higher quality care. I was very dissapointed with this experience, especially during my first pregnancy.A

As a new patient, I arrived 15 minutes early to complete paperwork, which they didn't give to me until I had been there for almost 10min. I waited over 60 minutes in the waiting room with my 3.5month old son before they took me back to get weighed and have my BP read. I then sat in an exam room in a gown trying to entertain, feed, and change my infant for 35 more minutes before deciding to leave. On my way out the staff apologized bc the provider was in a C/S. 1. Don't they have someone on call for these? 2. They should have informed me when I checked in and given me the opportunity to reschedule. The parking lot is tiny and full so your option is valet (if you get there before 12) or street parking. It seemed that other patients had a good rapport with the staff, however I did not experience anything positive in my COLOSSAL waste of 95 minutes, here. I won't rate the provider because my experience had nothing to do with them.M

All of the doctors here take their time with each patient and some times as expected have to deliver babies hence the wait time. Overall my wife and I have had a wonderful experience with all of the doctors here. If you want the best chance at a safe and healthy pregnancy this is the place to go.S

Dr Pravdin is a fantastic OB and supported me through a labour and birth that I was very happy with. Our little boy sees a number of paediatricians at the practice also and they've all been wonderful. Wait times can occasionally be long but I've come to expect that in the US.Clinic route
