Dr. Anita Susan Ninan, MD

Dr. Ninan performed a c-section for me, and she did a great job. Everyone kept telling me (including my dermatologist) that the incision was healing nicely, and the scar looks perfect. I am now a healthy mom with a healthy 2.5-month baby boy. My story is bumpy, but with a good end. We urgently went to the hospital because I wasn’t feeling my baby for several hours. Dr. Ninan was an on-call doctor that day. They tried to wake the baby up, but could not. The doctor’s intuition helped me prepare for the c-section: she permitted the epidural anesthesia to be applied earlier than usual (normally, they do it only at 4-5 cm cervix dilation, mine was 1 cm). The doctor first tried to do everything to help me deliver vaginally, but I can tell now that she was foreseeing that we’d need to do a c-section. Even though I was having nice contractions, my cervix was tight close. Then, after puncturing the amniotic sac, the water broke gray green. Moreover, the baby heart rate started dropping with my… contractions. It looked scary, but, as I said, we were fully prepared by that time! Had we waited longer it would have been an emergency c-section or even worse. But thanks to Dr. Ninan’s skills, it all went smoothly. I was feeling I was in good hands with Dr. Ninan: she explained the reasoning behind all the decisions, asked for my opinion and overall showed great communication. Thank you again Dr. Ninan for our healthy baby!

I visited Dr. Ninan for postmenopausal bleeding, which is a slightly disconcerting symptom as it could be a sign of cancer. I was nervous based on the previous reviews I read, so much so that I almost requested a change in doctor. I am so happy I did not. I found Dr. Ninan incredibly informative and her recommendations aligning with the research I had done on my symptoms. She listened to my concerns and ideas and engaged in a very fluid conversation about my history and health. I found her pleasant, knowledgable and compassionate - carefully explaining my options and risks along with her recommendations. She also was very gentle and communicative during the uncomfortable biopsy, explaining what she was doing and what to expect every step of the way. I was delighted with my first experience with Ninan and will be visiting her again! A nice reminder that although reviews are helpful, to make my own judgements based on my experience, not those of others.

Dr. Ninan recently delivered my baby. I didn’t know her before the delivery, my doctor was unavailable. If I had any kind of choice I would have had a different doctor. She was flustered, seemed confused, and was a terrible communicator. My delivery was very scary and I had serious injuries. She didn’t explain anything, didn’t discuss my progress, and ignored direct questions throughout. My biggest regret is allowing her to treat me, and I am furious with my clinic for employing someone with such poor reviews and such little respect for patients.

I have to agree with the comment above. It was years ago that I had another Dr in the same office as Ninan, my Dr was on vacation and I was diagnosed late with preeclampsia. This should have been caught weeks prior. I had to be induced and on meds, which made me a bit out of it. My labor lasted 36 hrs and Dr. Ninan took a long time to deliver. She also told me to stop yelling. You try to stop after 36 hrs and almost 3hr of pushing. I was shocked at her lack of concern and her beside manner. I could say more, but will leave it at that. NW women's Gyno is in my opinion the best! I delivered my next child in their care and they were wonderful. They kept me informed and my new OB was genuine and caring! OB was out of town, Dr. Ninan was the Dr. On call

She doesn't care what will be the effect of her diagnosis. She doesn't know the basic gynec things . She behaves like she did not like that you went to her and ask her questions regarding your situation. She sounds so confuse and looks like she has no experience . I have changed my gynec and I would suggest that do not give your health/life on her hands. There are tons of best ob gyn doctors in seattle. Best is seattle OBGYN group.
