Jose T. Aranez Jr MD

He is a good OBGYN if you want to try to have your baby via vaginal delivery. He prefers to do a vaginal delivery than scheduling you for a c-​section. But if you think you have a vaginal yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis or you just feel something is not right down there, he will not be helpful. I went several times because I had several symptoms of an infection but he just saw me down there and told me that he didn’t saw anything (?), that I didn’t have an infection… without a culture or anything! I was so frustrated because IT was irritated and I felt so uncomfortable. He just prescribed me a 155 dlls! steroid cream for the irritation which I could only use externally. In my frustration, I remembered that I used to take probiotics for my intimate care. I researched and found that probiotics are really helpful with vaginal infections. After 3 – 4 days taking these probiotics, I was back to normal! these probiotics cost me like 20 dlls. The office visit cost me 72 dlls + 155 dlls for the useless cream.

Absolutely unbelievable. I had to see Dr. Jose Aranez because he was in network and was referred by my primary care physician under my new HealthNet HMO insurance through Obamacare. I was charged $ 15 for my co-​pay at the time of visit January 2015 (which is what my insurance said I owed), but six months later I was sent a bill For Another 50.00. Being unemployed and unable to work and unable to collect disability at the time, I asked them to confirm with my insurance that this was the right amount. Dr Aranez’ office told me they would look into it and told me to disregard the bill) but a year later they sent me to collections! I called them about this error repeatedly and also called my insurance company about it several times, so when they said to disregard the bill and they well ild look into it I trusted them. They never apologized for dropping the ball and sending me to collections and instead of following through and calling me back as they promised they would, the best they could do is take me out of collections and say I could make 10.00 payments once a month. I’m still stuck with a $ 50 balance because my insurance screwed up and their office screwed up! The doctor also wanted to do a surgery on me after my first visit which my old OB/​GYN under my old great health insurance told me I did not need just the month before. I understand they want to make money but this is ridiculous. beware and avoid this greedy and completely unprofessional office for your health sake and your pocketbook’s sake. I asked them if they would accept a total of 25.00 which is what my current cover ca should be but they refused after all this time and trouble.

I am a super fan of Dr. Aranez and his team! He kept me healthy and happy with his care during and after my pregnancy. I never had trouble getting an appointment and he always took my calls. He kept me calm and reassured me along the way. He has a great sense of humor and memory too!
I drove across the SF valley to see him and his team… I would recommend him to all of my friends and family!
He’s so great!

Professional, hilarious and addresses any and all concerns. We had our daughter back in November of 2015 and we could not have picked a better place or OB to have guided us through the process. The staff and nurses are also very amenable and bend over backwards to make sure appointments are on time and you don’t wait in the office for any longer than you need to. I was with my wife for almost every visit until we delivered. The fact that he works in conjunction with Providence St. Joe’s across the street, makes him easily accessible and yet another reason you’ll want him to be the first person who holds your newborn.

I have had an incredible experience with Dr. Aranez. He delivered our first child 3 years ago. Her heart rate dropped while I was in labor and he was monitoring me from his office and called the hospital. He saved her life. I had to have an emergency cesarean, but Dr. Aranez did an amazing job. I could barely see the scar afterward. We decided to have another child 3 years later and Dr. Aranez helped us because we were having difficulty getting pregnant. Despite moving to Long Beach, I continued to drive to Burbank to be under Dr. Aranez care. He is such a caring and attentive doctor and I trust him completely. His incisions have been perfect and he has taken such good care of me and my babies. His office staff are wonderful and I have never had to wait long to see to see him. He treated our families with such respect at the hospital and when they came with me to appointments. We had some issues with our stay at the hospital, but once we informed Dr. Aranez, he took care of everything. I can’t say enough about Dr. Aranez. He is an amazing OB-​GYN and I highly recommend him.

It was my first year seeing Dr. Aranez, when reciveing the news about my mammogram and the results being Positive… I said I wanted a second option. So he sent me to go get an MRI– which I was totally fine with, when the results came back, he would not read the report to me. He said the Specialist would tell me what would happen next… long story short, he never talked to the Surgeron about my case and the Surgeon figured my husband and I knew what the test results were, but we had never been told!!!
Then I was informed I needed to have a lumpectomy. The day I went in for surgery the radiologist informed me that the MRI had instructed that a second biopsy be performed and was I aware of that. Well, NO, I wasn’t made aware of that by Dr. Aranez!!! So the surgery was cancelled and as the radiologist said, «I’d rather you be cut once than cut twice.” He saved me that day from inefficient follow through by Dr. Aranez!!!
I had the second biopsy and a lumpectomy suddenly became a mastectomy. I was stunned and upset! Who was I supposed to be mad at??? Well, it’s the Dr’s job who ordered the test to tell the patient what is going on and the Surgeon’s job is to get it out! The Surgeon did more then his part, but Dr. Aranez was the weak link. So in this matter I would not ever go back to Dr. Aranez… plus it took forever for him to send my primary GP all my records… The only upside was that a few staff girls that were totally wonderful!

I am so very grateful my insurance sent me to Dr. Aranez when my PCP referred me to a gynecologist for my annual exam. Dr. Aranez was very kind, gentle, and I could tell he cared about me and my health. I was also experiencing post menopausal bleeding, and he immediately referred me for tests to determine the cause. After testing it was determined that I needed a complete hysterectomy. He answered all my questions, and I had many. As a chiropractor and a healthcare provider myself, he respected me and explained every detail to me. I will refer him to anyone I know who needs an ob/​gyn. Thank you Dr. Aranez for you medical expertise and gentle bedside manner. You are special.

Dr. Aranez recently saw us through a long-​awaited pregnancy, and delivered our lovely daughter for us. Throughout it all he was thorough, kind, and compassionate far beyond the call of duty. He helped us through every step and decision, and was always patient and informative, as well as very invested in our best interests. I would wholeheartedly recommend him as a truly committed and kind doctor.

Dr. Aranez, who has been my OB/​GYN for the past 7 years delivered my precious baby girl in October of 2014 and it couldn’t have gone better. My husband and I had a birth plan that we wanted to follow and he listened to us, answered our questions, and treated us with so much care. We had to make a few tweaks to the plan (I had to get induced) and I was scared, but Dr. Aranez listened to my fears and helped me through the process. Labor started and everything went as planned. Once it was time for pushing, he actually worked with my body to ensure the least amount of trauma possible during the crowning, etc… and helped bring my baby into this world with such patience, ease and compassion. He can be talkative and pushy at times, but you just have to let him know that you’re uncomfortable and he’ll back off. I don’t believe it is because he’s insensitive, I believe it is just because he is passionate about what he does and who doesn’t want that in a doctor? My husband still raves about his bedside manner to this day!

I have been seeing Dr. Aranez for a few years now, and I consider him a knowledgeable, kind and compassionate healthcare provider. He worked closely with me as we attempted non-​surgical approaches for my issues… he would call on weekends to check up on me. When surgery became absolutely necessary, I trusted him and things went really well. That was two years ago. I am fully recovered and I couldn’t be more grateful for his skill and expertise.

Compassion, thoughtful, & understanding are words that describe Dr. Aranez & his staff. Going through «female» problems is hard to accept & digest but Dr. Aranez takes the time to explain, show diagrams, test results with you so you walk out of his office knowing the care you are being given is the best.
Dr. Aranez has been my doctor for many years and the high quality of care has remained from year to year.

Dr Aranez was amazing, I would definitely recommend him to my family and friends. I went to him for a problem that I had gone to two other doctors that attempted to take care of the problem but didn’t, yet he knew right away how to cure my situation. I called for an urgent appointment and the girls informed me that the week was full so I asked them to check with the doctor, they explained to the him what I had so he took me in on what I think was his lunch break. He explained thoroughly what he was doing and how long the healing process was going to be. He was right on with his diagnosis and the problem is gone. He is a wonderful Doctor and I will be his patient from here on.
Thank you Dr Aranez you’re awesome!!!

I waited a long time before writing this review to see if in fact, things were not great once I compared it to other doctors. The office was busy, the ladies up front were nice to me. I think my first visit went OK. But, I realized he barely listened to me, cut me off quite often. He’s rather boisterous, and I think he means well, but it can rub some people the wrong way. He ran tests on me and gave me medication that was not correct once I spoke to other doctors. I missed tons of work because of this — I wont go into details. He never called me, knowing this was going on (because I called them several times, he never would initiate a call). He just wanted to jump to surgery suddenly, and I said no. There’s got to be something you can do other than just to let this go like this or do surgery. I don’t think he knew how to test me for things or accurately resolve my problem. I think Aranez was not in the frame of mind to give me the time I needed to figure out the best course of action. He’s got a huge practice and I’m sure normally does really well, but my situation was a little unique.

I have been seeing Dr Aranez for many years and love him, he has been very supportive to me and my husband, very thorough and checks everything. He knows I am a hypochondriac and he does his best to explain everything to me and my husband in detail clearly. What I like most about him is that he is great at what he does, has a lot of experience and very knowledgeable.
Takes the time to truly care and explain and keep me informed. I have a complicated high risk pregnancy and he has been monitoring me very closely. He tells me the truth even if it’s something I don’t like.
