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.

Very knowledgeable doctor
Dr. Petroush is very knowledgeable and take the time to explain the condition to his patient. He spend time with his patient and making them feel comfortable. I wouldn’t change my Obgyn unless my insurance changes.

Dr. Potruch was amazing. My husband and I found out we were having a miscarriage a year ago, and after having a bad experience with another doctor, he was able to make us laugh and understood our hurt as he already knew what was going on before telling us the sad news. He took his time and let us stay as long as we needed to, informed us of our options, did not pressure us at all and made us feel safe and comfortable. One thing he did that no one else had ever done (other doctors) is tell me that it was not my fault, I was not broken, it just happened. I am so grateful for him.

Dr. Potruch is an excellent doctor! I got to know him based on pure luck. I needed an emergency hystrectomy and he was the on-call OB GYN at West Hills hospital at the time. He performed an emergency hysterectomy on me under very difficult circumstances and saved my life! Dr. Potruch is a very skilled surgeon and did a fantastic job with my surgery! I appreciate his honesty, professionalism and sense of humor. The best doctor!

I love Dr Potruch! He is always kind and willing to listen to any concerns that I might have. He has been my OBGYN since I found out I was having my 2nd child. He was calm and reassuring after my first delivery was traumatic with a different hospital. Although he was not the Dr. who delivered my son he took time the following business day to come and check on me and see how the baby was doing. He truly cares for his patients and is extremely knowledgeable in his field.

Terrible - Traumatic. He seemed like a nice person but he's a terrible person - he tried to use the situation for his own personal gain. I thought he was trustworthy but he's not. He's the reason why I don't trust male doctors - I always want someone else in the room

He was the worst Doctor I've ever had. Very charming and knowledgable, which made me chose him as my OB, but he has other intentions in his devious mind. He has a woman at her most vulnerable time in her life and chooses to take advantage of it and hopes she keeps it secret as to what he has done to her or hopes she doesn't realize what he's really doing because of who he is...an OB Gynecologist. And sometimes he's successful at hoping women stay quiet- they are scared to say anything or just co

I had Dr. Potruch through my pregnancy and cesarean with my twin girls. I loved his blunt honesty and his dry sense of humor. He genuinely cared about how I felt after my pregnancy and offered great advice. My daughters are now 6 months old, and in all of the times I felt like I could have fallen apart, I didn't because of the advice he gave me at my post-op appointment. A huge 'Thank you' to him and the staff for making my pregnancy so easy.
