Dr. Renato Gonong Judalena, MD

I have had 3 children, with 3 different Dr.s. I wish I had them all with Dr. Judalena. Unfortunately, I only had him with my last child. I hemmorraged with all 3. My first child they didn't know I continued to bleed. My 2nd, the Dr. left, even thou I was bleeding. Luckily the nurses at Hemet Hospital stopped it and I had 2 pints of blood, and another the next day. With my last child Dr. Judalena had to manually take the placenta out to stop my hemmorraging. She was also born with a congenital defect. He stayed for at least a hour, after to make sure we were both ok. An he had 2 other patients in labor. I did need more blood, wich I didn't want to do. Dr. Judalena came in and talked to me the next day. He sat on the end of my bed, wich Dr.s never do and convinced me to do the transfusions. I asked him if I was his daughter would he tell her too. He laughed and said "if you were, I would of made you already." The office is crazy, appointment wait times are ridiculous. But, for me I would… still choose him. By the way the nurses at the hospital all agreed that he is great. An one of them used him for two pregnancies.

Every visit you are in the waiting room for over an hour+ then you get into the room and wait another hour or so. The nurses make you feel l u ke crap if you gain weight or haven't drank enough fluids. The office is filthy dirty carpeting all through out. When the doctors finally do get to you they are in the room maybe 5min. Makes you wonder what takes them so long and you get no time. Dr. Judalena can't remember you on visit from the next. My breaking point was i requested my records from april2014-July 2014 they want to charge me $50 and when i was asked why i needed my records,i explained to angie that i was going back to my oginal ob but they needed my records before than can see me. 2Weeks went by my records still weren't ready. I still hadn't been approved by prior dr. So i went to my scheduled appointment with dr.Judalena and found out he dropped me without even notifying me i showed up on time informed i was dropped because i was planning on switching doctors. Mind you i… haven't been approved yet by other doctor office.So unprofessional worst office ever!!!!

The wait for my M om was 1 1/2 hours, graffiti on the walls, filthy exam room, staff was rude and discourteous. It was "beyond a nightmare", and no one's Mother should go thru my Mom's experience.

I had to wait over a month for my appt. When I went to my appt, I waited an hour past my appt time before I was even checked in by the receptionist. I then waited another half an hour to get put in a room. Then they tell me to get undressed and then left me sitting there in a cold room for another 20 minutes! I was ready to walk out by the time the dr finally came to see me and after my experience with him, I wished I had walked out! When I was all done, I left the place in tears both from pain and frustration. I will NEVER go back there again and I will tell everyone I know to AVOID this place at ALL COSTS!

Dr. Judalena delivered two babies for us and we could not be happier with him. We needed an emergency c-section on our first child and he saved the mother and the babies life because of his competence and his obvious love for the people he serves. We think of him often and we are full of gratitude for the wonderful man he is and the beautiful children he he helped us to have.

Dr. J. is an excellent doctor. Despite having to wait an hour to see him, he was very kind and answered all of my questions. I am very happy and at ease that he will be delivering my baby.

I really like Dr Judalena. He is a very nice doctor, however, the same cannot be said about his staff. I have been seeing this doctor since 2008 when I was pregnant with my second child. I was not happy with the doctor's office from my first child so I decided to change to this office. Now I just think all Hemet doctor's offices are pretty much the same! The staff courteousness and professionalism varies from day to day. Sometimes they are pleasant, sometimes they have an "i don't care" attitude. What prompted me to find this site and rate this website is because of the aggrevation I went through today with the office. I needed them to fill out my EDD maternity leave paperwork, I was charged $75 dollars, and the doctor did not completely fill out the paperwork. "Come back tomorrow" I'm told by the receptionist... I had to bite my tongue because the office can be as incompetant as they want, but they stand behind a sign that says they have the right to refuse service to anyone! … I am not a happy patient and after this pregnancy is over, I will not be returning to this office.

My friend was referred to this doctor back in mid 2010 or so. He pretty much blew her off, staff rude, and no matter how much she or her husband contacted him...nothing. As a matter of fact one of her appointments was cancelled by them because he had an "emergency surgery". Well, my friend ended up with having uterine cancer and is now in the hospital because apparently it spread and she has a kidney shutting down. She may not even survive to get treatment all due to this doctors total incompetence.I feel really badly for her and for her husband and two daughters.

This Doctor is vry easy to talk to he tries to make you smile. This was my second openion and I changed him for my primary. Dr. Judalena is great. Not sure about surgery in Hemet Hospital.
