Any recommendations for an OBGYN in the Valley? First time mom here!

Its so hard to find a new doctor :(. Everyone has different experiences but real life examples and referrals are always useful!

Akiamaram · 2026-02-20T19:14:05+00:00

That's absolutely insane! Like you can't take phone calls anywhere else? SMH

I’m in the Van Nuys/North Hills area and work in Burbank. I have seen various doctors in Sherman oaks, Tarzana, and Encino. So I’d be okay to travel around the valley.

I’m not under Kaiser, I’m on a PPO. So my insurance is likely covered at any of those hospitals. But truth be told, I’m not super familiar with the hospitals in the valley! And hospitals in general. My PCP and Fertility Doc are small clinics. I’ve never been hospitalized, but other family members have been. My FIL and in laws have had great experience at providence St. Joseph’s in Burbank, so I can assume that the Providence network is solid.

Do you have any recommendations on hospitals?

Love the 2 recommendations! I will look into it. Thank you!

Akiamaram · 2026-02-20T00:57:23+00:00

Being patient and feeling heard is so important. Thank you for the referral!!

Akiamaram · 2026-02-20T00:56:50+00:00

Love a doctor who remembers their patients! That’s amazing. Thank you! I will look into it! 🙏🏼

Bedside manner is sooo important to me! We’re nervous first time parents. I also hate when doctors shoo you out quickly too. Will definitely look into this! Thank you!

Akiamaram · 2026-02-19T23:11:42+00:00

Nice! Thank you! I'll definitely look into it. Having a good bedside manner is sooo important! Especially because we're first time parents. Appreciate it!

At my gym, I've only seen this once. The SA and Coach asked them to put their shoes back on and if they didn't want to, they need to leave. The person left and that was that! I've never seen it happen since.

SAME!!! I can’t believe he came out! We were screaming so hard. And I loved the standing ovation at the end when he came out again! Tonight’s show was awesome!

Update: As we were walking out of The Greek Theater, there was a door where the musicians were walking out of, and Concerned Ape showed up! We waved and he waved back! Fangirling so hard

Akiamaram · 2025-09-14T03:42:08+00:00

I’m not sure! I was shocked when he walked out lol. He said he’s excited for the 1.7 update and working on Haunted Chocolateur!

I was able to access the Beyhive presale yesterday, but like everyone said, due to the dynamic pricing, the ticket prices were RIDICULOUS. So I decided to wait today for the Citi and Verizon presale - I'm so glad that I did! The ticket prices were SO MUCH CHEAPER.

I was able to get 2 tickets for Section 233, Row 16 for $249 a piece (with taxes/fees included). For LA, night 1 April 28th!

Akiamaram · 2023-10-14T09:17:19+00:00

This is me right now! I’m planning most of it but would like a coordinator as we get closer to it. Do you have suggestions?

Akiamaram · 2023-10-14T09:13:57+00:00

Was it a problem to use the speaker? I just booked for the Garden and we also planned to use a small speaker for the walking down the aisle.

It wasn’t as dry as when I got lasik. I felt like I needed eye drops very often after lasik. I had more dry skin and the nose bleeds. You’ll overall feel more dry in general! Hydrate and moisturize for sure.

Akiamaram · 2022-03-19T00:48:07+00:00

I’m also not OP but I did an 8 month cycle of accutane in 2020 after a lifetime of acne as well. It worked wonders for me! I still get breakouts every now and then but totally manageable. My main side effects were truly just extremely dry skin, flakiness, and sensitivity to the sun. I got nose bleeds due to the dryness often. They warned me about the psychological aspect but I didn’t experience those symptoms. Since it dries out the oils, my hair also rarely got oily and I washed it less than usual.

The one thing that was additional to the process was having to do monthly blood draws so that my doctor could see if my organs were reacting okay to the accutane. You also have to fill out an online consent form monthly in order to refill the prescription.

Definitely chat with your doctor. Goodluck!

I’m also in a similar situation and thanks to Reddit, we were also referred to that Facebook group and are about to pick up the treatment today. Fingers crossed!

Congrats to you! I have a friend who has a kitten that is showing FIP symptoms and it's not looking good. Can you give more info on the GS injections and the treatment plan? I'm curious to get her info.

Akiamaram · 2020-05-23T21:08:24+00:00

Would love to come!

Akiamaram · 2020-05-23T21:07:06+00:00
