Dr. Rhonda Michelle Flora, MD

I attempted to schedule an appointment for my 18-week pregnant fiance who just arrived as a new US citizen from a war zone in Africa. Because she could not have electronic medical records sent from her previous MD, she was NOT PERMITTED to become a patient with Dr. Flora. And in case you're wondering, I fully explained our situation...twice! I explained how their policy was indeed absurd, and how surely they cannot think it is okay to turn someone away simply because they aren't able to attain records through no fault of their own. To my amazement, the offices of Dr. Rhonda Flora DID TURN HER AWAY! No explanations offered. I was shocked. I am a doctor myself, and frankly, I don't feel that she deserves the title. Turning a person away because of one's situation is the epitome of what is wrong with the current medical system. Placing exorbitant profiteering based on aesthetic services rather than the welfare of the underprivileged is shameful, in my opinion at least. Well, despite the 8… women physicians at this office, my fiance was one woman who was not allowed in.

I HATE her EVERYDAY of my life. Thanks to her, I had a severe prolapse. I'm crying everyday regretting chose her as my OB. She broke her promise for doing C section for me and forced me to do vaginal delivery. I know myself and my health conditions, I told her I can't do vaginal delivery buy she didn't care about any of the conditions that I have: Baby had a big head, umbilical cord tightly wrapped around baby's neck, double loops. I had a cyst which she promise to cut it out, diabetes. And she ONLY come to me after I pushed for 3 hours, only when the baby's heart rate drop and she used Vacuum to suck baby out. Very irresponsible, aren't doctors suppose to save lives not to destroy someone's life?

The WORST Doctor . I am shocked by ANY good reviews of this lady. If your not pregnant then don't bother with her. I had gynelogical pain for years. She was no help whatsoever. Kept saying I have IC after a urologist ruled that out completely. Years later a new OBGYN in Los Angeles , the place where real doctors are, did a few blood tests based on my complaints and diagnosed me with herpes 2 , even though there weren't any sores anywhere, put me on valtrex , and after years of pain , I've been fine for 8 months. Dr flora has no clue about anything other than perhaps a delivery. God for bid u have any other problems.

Dr Flora took amazing care of me and my 3 babies. I trust her completely. She is friendly, thorough and makes good decisions regarding the care of her patients. I wish we didn't move away for this 4th baby! I miss Dr Flora

Her new nurse is rude and condescending. I am pregnant and aware that my urine is supposed to be tested. She never tests it, yet Dr Flora always says the nurse charted the results. Her old nurse Lori Ann was very sweet and helpful. I don't know the name of the new nurse, but she bad mouths other office staff to me, as well as making undesirable remarks about Dr Flora. I feel Dr Flora should take an interest in her patients opinion of her office staff. All the women in the waiting roomed always raved about Lori. When most of your time dealing with an office is spent with the staff, not the doctor, it makes it hard to stay when the office lets the good ones go, and replaces them with uncaring and incompetent employees. I am transferring out of the practice.

Love love this dr. Unfortunately I am done having babies and left this office for just a guynacology

Dr Flora has been my doctor for a few years now and she is still just as pleasant as the day I first met her. She takes the time to answer any and all questions you may have and the visit isn't over until you are completely satisfied with all answers to your questions. Her staff is pleasant and very helpful whenever I have had an appointment.

I have nothing but praises to sing about Dr. Flora. She is a fantastic Doctor who addressed every need and concern during my first pregnancy. Beyond that, she is one of the most positive people -- bringing a positive energy into the room always. To be honest, we almost moved away because of work opportunities and Dr. Flora was on my list of why we should stay in O.C. That says a lot about a person...I could not have found a better OBGyn...and am thankful to have her during my second pregnancy now.The office staff has also always been courteous and helpful. All of her support staff have always been great in their attitudes and follow up.The only drawback is that sometimes there is a wait at the actual appointment. Sometimes that can be frustrating - but when you think that it is usally due to a labor in progress, you are reminded that that is most pressing and you want to be the priority when you are in labor. Unfortunately, you can't pinpoint when someone will go into labor...so… it is what it is!

Dr Flora was wonderful during my entire pregnancy and listened to my concerns and requests with my delivery. She was very positive and I felt like she really cared about having my needs met. My labor/delivery was a little rough ending in a c-section. I knew I was in good hands the whole time and that eased any worries I might have had.

Dr. Flora is a great doctor! I was lucky enough to have her deliver both my babies. Since she no longer takes my insurance, I had to switch to another doctor from the same office. My experience with Dr. Flora during both my pregnancies were excellent! The special attention and care that she gives patient is priceless! I had a couple of concerns during my pregnancy, and Dr. Flora gave me the peace of mind by having done several tests and consults with specialists. She is even more caring than my own primary physician! I highly recommend her to anyone!
