Dr. Mary J Kotob, MD - Reviews Is this you? Claim your profile

I didn't check this doctor's reviews before going to see her, big mistake. She is rude, doesn't listen to suggestions and immediately started talking about surgery. I got spooked and decided to check her out before doing anything so got myself to another doctor who told me surgery was not needed and fixed the issues with medication and regular check ups. Very scary to think I would have been under this woman's hands in surgery!

Dr. Kotob is a NaPro Doctor. She is great for practicing Catholics who want to follow the Church's teaching when it comes to reproductive health issues. She will not recommend or prescribe anything immoral which is a great comfort. I see a lot of comments saying she is rude, she is not rude, but she is straight forward and down to earth which I find very helpful. Other doctors I tried wanted to know what I wanted to do... how should I know, I'm not a doctor! I appreciate a doctor who knows how to actual be a doctor and give advice for what she thinks is best. She has made it clear I can still always say no or ask for other options too. Also, she is super responsive and available to help answer questions. I am happy to have found her.

Rude, scary, worst experience ever.

She is rude

She was not nice at all, made a mistake on my exams and made me take a medication for something I didn’t have. She will also not prescribe birth control because of her religious beliefs which she tries to impose.

I felt like she was a bit rude, just didn’t feel good to be there. Didn’t answer my questions.

In 2015 I was referred to this doctor by her partner to have a cervical polyp removed. I wanted to have this done at Hoag but she insisted that I go to another facility and I found out later that she was part owner. I was not at all impressed by the facility. She insisted that I return a year later for a checkup which I did and she informed me that the polyp had returned and I needed to schedule another surgery. When I asked her how often this happened and if it could be prevented she said some people get it yearly and it has to be removed every single time. I didn’t feel comfortable so went to see another doctor who not only didn’t find a polyp but said that there were ways to prevent future ones. In my opinion and based on my experience, I don’t believe that Dr. Kotob is an honest doctor.

Very rude and unknowledgeable. Wrong diagnosis, just got the correct somewhere else. Any gynecologist should know and I waisted time, money, and health in her hands.

I feel that someone who is not very nice or respectful should not service people. I did not like her and waited a lot and paid a lot to be seen. I will find someone new who respects me and makes me feel comfortable.
