Daryoush Jadali, MD - Thousand Oaks (CA)

1 /5 Ashley Garcia: My experience with Dr Jadali during my high-risk pregnancy was nothing short of awful. He dismissed me and made me feel that my condition wasn’t worthy of his attention (low PAPP-A and Anti-E blood incompatibility that can lead to hemolytic anemia). He made comments about my insurance being an HMO and that regal won’t “pay for any scans so it’s a waste of time”. This was furthest from the truth. I worked my insurance to get assigned to a different MFM specialist who no longer practices (James shields) and had an amazing experience with lots of scans and care and attention. Others have shared similar negative experiences with Jadali. For my last baby, I told my OBGYN I wanted to avoid him at all costs and got my insurance to refer me to the dignity health MFMs, Kathy Sharma and Peter Rubelio. I saw Dr. Sharma until she went private practice which happened to be about a month before I was due (I highly recommend her and her office is in Ventura called Ocean Perinatal) and then saw her partner Dr. Rubelio for the last few weeks and weekly scans. He was excellent also. Kind and made me feel comfortable. Please look into these doctors if you want to avoid Jadali.

1 /5 Alma Rosa Rios: My experience at Dr. Jadali’s office was far from anything pleasant. The ultrasound tech, Rosy, and Dr. Jadali had a cold, rude, and un-inviting demeanor. Their bedside manners are poor. I felt like I was in defense mode the entire time I was there. I was referred to Dr. Jadali’s office by my OB/GYN’s office after 2 inconclusive NIPT tests. I was unsure what procedures they were going to do. My OB/GYN’s office did not clearly explain to me why I needed to go to this specialist, but neither did Dr. Jadali’s office. I was told I was to do another NIPT test and see the gender through an ultrasound. The whole time the ultrasound tech was doing my ultrasound, she did not explain anything. She’d close the door hard behind her and seemed like she was just in a bad attitude. If I didn’t ask what the ultrasound was for, I’m betting they wouldn’t even have told me anything. The tech and the Dr. spoke in a different language outside the door, which wouldn’t be an issue except when the doctor came in, he was so vague with what he was there to do and we didn’t even know he was going to see us next. So naturally, whatever they were talking about worried us because we were unsure what was going on the entire time there, and we weren’t sure if something was seen on the ultrasound or what was going on. The doctor came and in asked about my inconclusive NIPT test dates, and said we needed to wait a few more weeks to make sure there was enough DNA from the baby to re-test. I said okay, well we’d like to get the sex of the baby in an envelope today, so we can do a reveal. Especially, since I was under the impression that’s what my ultrasound was for. Dr. Jadali told me to wait until we received my NIPT results to know the gender because, “what if the results come back with down syndrome, you wouldn’t want to tell people.” Confused by his comment, I said “tell people the gender?” The energy of the room shifted as he looked at me annoyed and rolled his eyes saying, “it’s my bias that if the results come back with down syndrome you wouldn’t want people to know.” At this point, my mom frustration came in after all this experience at their office and I firmly responded, “I don’t care if my results come back with my child having down syndrome. I’m still having this baby and I’m still going to have a gender reveal.” He backed off a bit afterwards. They didn’t tell us when we’d need to come back for our next visit, so when we went to the front desk and the young lady asked us when our follow up appointment was, we couldn’t give her a straightforward answer. The ultrasound tech, Rosy, came over and said we’d need to be back in a few weeks to re-do my NIPT test and an ultrasound. She said everything looked fine so far, but just in case. Needless to say, I am writing this review because I will not be returning. Maybe this was just my experience, but please be careful about this office. Maybe it’s just their Thousand Oaks office that is like this, but if you do experience this, please speak up for yourself. Doctors should NOT make you feel intimidated, confused, uneasy or unwelcome. Please speak up if you get comments like the ones I did. With all due respect doctor, nobody is asking you about your bias on knowing a sex based on a child having Down syndrome.

1 /5 Yuliana Galvan: TERRIBLE experience. This is my 2nd pregnancy and I must say it’s been a battle. P.S. be prepared NOT to get a physical copy of your babies ultrasound (text will b sent). Went to my first ultrasound appointment at 11am, arrived at 10:50am and left at 12:40pm. When the light skinned Mexican (I’m Mexican as well) took my blood she was extremely rough to the point where she made me gasp (I have a high tolerance for pain). When getting my results on a Friday over the phone they mentioned I may pick up my results, I drove 40 minutes at 3:30 from Camarillo to Ventura to get a post it size paper that said my babies gender, the paper had NO information relating it back to me (the patient), I called right away and told the lady that I wanted my results that’s why I drove in traffic, she said they do not give out results that I had to sign a medical release form for my own results that she could email me the form (she didn’t). I spoke to the office manager on Wednesday letting her know what was going on, she apologized and stated I didn’t have to sign any medical release form that she would email them to me. She did but the results were blurry, I called and they said I needed to wait until the following week and I had to pick them up (I did) same issue. Customer service is not their priority or common sense. Needless to say I switched ultrasound providers.

1 /5 Asa Stephanie: I only came here for a 3D ultrasound since my regular OBs availability was on a day that I worked. Dr. Jadalis office did the ultrasound and then scheduled a follow up echocardiogram stating it was necessary to make sure my babys heart functioned ok. I am not a high risk patient and did not have any problems with pregnancy. I did the echo because I wanted to make sure baby was ok as the staff made it seem like I really needed it and it worried me that maybe they saw something. Everything was fine. My regular OB stayed it was a scam when I asked if I still needed to follow up with them and now Im stuck with an over $1000 bill for nothing. Insuranve wont cover because it wasnt medically necessary even though I was told it was. Dr. Jadali wasnt even available during my appointments and the tech would call him on the phone to talk to me after the ultrasound. Very disappointed with the underhanded tactics for a profit.

5 /5 D S: We made an appointment here after seeing another doctor we were very unsatisfied with. Dr. Jadali and his staff were very professional and nice, he took time to answer questions and really seemed to care which made us feel much better than the last place we went since this is our first baby. I wouldnt hesitate to make your ultrasound appointments here!
