Women’s Group for Health

I’ve only been a patient for a little while but in the two visits I’ve had, I’ve felt very welcomed. I live in Vallejo and its still very worth it for me to come here. And now that I am pregnant! I will continue with Dr. Lizano, because I know she will take care of me and my pregnancy. The office is always very clean and the staff is very friendly. I have nothing but good things to say about this office.

This doctor does not accept cash patients. Her reason being is that a previous cash client did not follow up on her requests to have certain tests. So, she is basing her opinion on accepting future cash patients on a prevous cash patients lack of actions.
See a problem here? I do… So don’t waste your time on this physician. Evidently, she doesn’t accept the Physician’s Code either.

Dr. Lizano has delivered both of my daughters in to this world, once natural and once through C-​Section — both times without complication and both times she did so with genuine concern. I can understand how a few people might initially get confused by her straight forward nature but underneath her years of experience she’s a dedicated and highly skilled provider — and earned our trust by easing concerns, being available to us and ultimately delivering (pun intended) — she even took time, talking to the nurses to make sure my wife got the best care at the hospital and I would be very uncomfortable with a different doctor in the future.

I have been with Dr. Lizano for 5 years now (since she was at her last location back in Richmond). She has been the only OB that I have had. She is very good at what she does. At each appointment, she makes you feel welcomed, takes your times answering any questions you may have, and reviews your care. The staff at the front are always in a good mood, smiling and asking if they can do anything to accommodate. The office itself (both the waiting rooms and the waiting room in the front) are always nice, clean and organized. They have appointments available almost always when you need/​want them. You can also gain access to your personal medical records on their online portal where you can see your information from your last appointment, cancel or request an appointment or need a question answered. Dr. Lizano delivered my first baby and removed an ovarian cyst easily last year. She is very flexible and listens to your needs. I would recommend her to anybody looking for a good trustworthy OB.

Lizzano is extremely rude and unhelpful. I will never forget the way I was treated and how helpless I felt while using her as my doc. She cost me thousands of dollars later for something she could have easily helped me out with. If she had listened to my concerns from the beginning any doctor would have figured out what was wrong with me from the start. I hope others will not have to indure what I went through with her office.

Dr. Lizano is very rude, uncaring, and extremely impatient. I’ve been to plenty of doctors and never have I wanted to leave after the very first conversation. She would not listen to any of my questions or anything I had to say. She kept me waiting for an hour and did not give me any instruction when she left the room. My simple pap smear appointment took two and a half hours to complete. Nothing I said was acknowledged and she brushed off all my questions. She won’t take no for an answer, and by the time my appointment was over she had me so frustrated I was crying. I left my appointment early. I never have I done that in my life.
I will never go back to this doctor. She should not have chosen this career path.

I just had my 2^nd baby after 10 years and thanks to Dr. Lizano it was smooth sailing. Although, I did encounter a few bumps along the way to my baby bliss… I must say Dr. Lizano knows and does her job well. She and her staff get two thumbs up in my book. Not only is Dr. Lizano «great» so is her staff… they are always on top of everything and there to answer all your questions. Great Job!

If you are looking for a highly intelligent, knowledgable, experienced, caring woman for your OB-​GYN, you will be very satisfied that you have found one of the best in Dr. Lizano. Her staff are always pleasant and professional.
I trust her so much that I referred my elderly mother to her after her previous long time Dr. retired. She had tried other Drs. that came highly recommended. Finally, she was glad to become a regular patient of Dr. Lizano.

This «dr» did my hysterectomy and she had a HORRIBLE bedside manner. I didnt even go to my followup appt changed drs right after i walked out of the alta bates hospital after some demented pt they put in the other bed in my room threw her bed pan at me for no reason other than no one would come to empty it. But that is another review all together. I would not go back to her if she was the only Dr around.

I wish I could give zero stars. All of the staff gave very poor service, the doctor was defensive, rude, and refused to be accountable for a long wait, and I was billed more than I should have been due to the incompetence of the staff. I will never go back here, and I have no idea why any woman gave this place more than 1 star.

I had two babies under the care of Dr. Lizano and she is knowledgeable, genuine and great at reading me. Being pregnant was not an enjoyable expperience for me and talking to her about my concerns always made me feel better. She is a busy lady but always takes time for you if needed. Her office staff is award winning in my book! They are personable and really seem to enjoy their job. I love them!

Dr. Lizano is a very caring, patient, and knowledgeable doctor. She was my ob/​gyn for my first child. Although she did not get to deliver my baby. (due to insurance issues) I was extremely satisfied with her.
Her staff is incredibly accommodating & helpful. Very friendly as well.

Dr. Lizano is my hero! I found her thru a co-​worker who said his wife loved her. It was going to be my first time as a mom and I needed to be sure to pick the right doctor, someone who would most likely deliver my baby. (Dr’s never want to promise they will deilver your baby, and she didn’t but went home early from her trip to deliver mine).
In any case, she was very honest, easy to talk to… and would always answer my super random and sometimes off the wall questions about pregnancy.
Dr. Lizano is an award winning doctor for a reason. She is wonderful. (The award in her reception room prove it!). Her staff is also super great!

Dr. Lizano and her staff have always taken good care of me when it comes to a regular appointment or a last minute emergency.

I recently had my first child and was under the care of Dr. Lizano throughout my pregnancy and during delivery. I have only good things to say about my experience with her. She was very reassuring throughout the process, which I think is particularly important for a first timer. During my labor, things went anything but as planned, but I was always confident that I was in good hands. I am recovering quickly and my incision site looks great. I highly recommend this Doctor.

Dr. Lizano is the best! She’s very knowledgable and caring. She listens and doesn’t rush you out of your appointment. She follows up and is very genuine in her interactions with you.
I was referred to her by one of her patients and has since referred her to another friend who agrees and travels 40 miles just to come see her. It doesn’ get much better.

I have had nothing but great experiences with Dr. Lizano over the 10 years I have been her patient. She is very caring and non judgemental and she is extremely good at what she does. She is a top notch surgeon and obstetrician. People thought I was crazy to drive all the way from SF to Hercules during my pregnancy but having her deliver my was worth it! My doula even remarked that she had not experienced many doctors as patient as Dr. Lizano with a long and difficult labor. I am so grateful to her for helping me so through it all!

I’ve been going to CCMedical Group for Women for a few years now, since before they moved to the beautiful new office in Hercules… Although I had to go through a painful procedure with Dr. Lizano, she’s always been very nice the few times I’ve got to see her, good to talk to, professional but friendly. They use an internet based messaging/​medical history/​perscription managing tool that I LOVE, you can send messages online, refill perscription, and much more. It e-​mails you to remind you of appointments. So far nothing but good experiences with them! :)

Yes, apparently she’s well respected by all her peers. She has the magazine covers mounted in the office to show you. And her new office is beautifully done — much better than the old one in Pinole. She must have gotten some new staff with the new office, because they actually seem competent now. I inherited Dr. Lizano because her partner Dr. Oyer retired. I LOVED Dr. Oyer — she would take me to her office to discuss after I redressed. She was caring. She was awesome. She retired and stuck me with Dr. Lizano.
But, because sucking it up once a year is easier than searching for a new doc, I’ve suffered through for the majority of my childbearing years. I have not experienced the warm and patient side that Angela N. writes of. Instead, I have felt like she was somehow secretly judging me. For what? Not being married? Not choosing to have a baby?
She also breezed over a concern I brought up because I had an appointment they squeezed me in on. She was way more concerned about how I got away with not seeing her the prior year and if I had seen someone else. I think it’s all about business with her. Married women = potential pregnancies. Pregnancies = $$$. Me? I = once a year.
The good thing about Dr. Lizano is that you may only need one doctor in your life. Once she finds out about your other medical conditions, she may just try to advise you on the onces you see a specialist for!

I love Dr. Lizano. She is warm, patient, smart, capable… everything you could want in a doctor. She has even called me herself, on a Sunday to check in with me!
