Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Such a caring, thorough ObGyn! She really spends the time with you and listens to your needs!

I do not recommend Dr. Walden. The wait times are insanely long (she's busy and overbooked), I felt rushed every visit and often left feeling confused/like my questions weren't answered. I had abnormal test results (extra chromosome- pretty big deal!) after an AMNIO test at 20 weeks. The genetic counselor said she spoke with Dr. Walden TWICE asking when she was going to speak with me. The genetic counselor waited a full day and finally called me herself to break the news. This is atypical, the counselor toldme. I was shocked not to hear from my own OBGYN. Not to mention, she induces ALL of her patients. At least 5 women I know were induced with her for no real reason. When I asked her how far she would allow my pregnancy to go before inducing, she said there's no reason to go past 39 weeks. Unfortunately, we didn't make it that far. I am pregnant again and with another incredible doctor. There are amazing doctors in LA and I don't feel like Dr. Walden is one of them.

It feels like you're with a knowledgeable friend. So patient with me and my questions. Really takes the time to explain in detail. I feel very relaxed on "the table."

Gave me a completely unnecessary surgery, and injured me in the process, while not actually taking care of what she went in there to do. Funny, witty, but arrogant woman. Can not recommend for anything serious.
