Dr. Zarine Meena Kotian, MD

I am writing this review on behalf of my sister. Dr Zarine Kotian is incredibly fatphobic and anti mental health.  She told my sister that she "would be happy if she didn't gain any more weight" when she was only 1/3 of the way through her pregnancy. (My sister had not gained an immense amount of weight whatsoever, at the time this was said, she looked the same aside from her belly, which was an average size/weight for that stage.) Additionally, Dr. Zarine Kotian suggested a 1,500 calorie diet per day would be ideal for my sister. Aside from the obvious absurdity of this comment my sister also has a lengthy history with eating disorders which is documented in her records. To say that to her, or any patient is disgusting, fatphobic, and uninformed.  I have heard multiple stories of Dr. Zarine Kotian being anti mental health, fatphobic and lacking empathy through other reviews online.  If it's not already clear, I recommend you find anyone else.

This is was my first pregnancy, and when you don't have experience you need a good doctor... who can understand you, explain you and doctor to know what is her job... doctor Kotian is the greet, and I'm so glad because I chose her... I can just say thank you for everything doctor Kotian. ..

Worst dr. Ever. No respect for patient. She does not even deserve one star. So disrespectful. I would not recommend her to anyone. Don't waste your time going to her.

Office staff at Glendale OB/GYN are absolutely atrocious.

Dr Kotian has been great. This is my first pregnancy and she has taken the time to answer every question, talk to me in detail, explain what is going on, and put my mind at ease. She and her staff are very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. I will be staying with her for a long time as my GYN. If I ever get pregnant again, there is no doubt, that I would look to DR Kotian again.
