Traynor Elizabeth, DR

I am shocked to see current reviews stating that Dr. Traynor’s practice has closed and just as bad, yelling at people calling with requests for information, etc. This is 101% out of character for Dr Traynor. I know her and was a former patient for the past 20 odd years or so. She was always professional, knowledgeable and also a good friend (no I am not a colleague). I wouldn’t have changed doctors (did so several years ago) except that I changed insurance companies and she was out-​of-​network.
Something terrible must have happened and I am in no way excusing the actions of closing down and not returning patients calls, filling prescriptions, etc. It is way too bizarre knowing her so well and this is certainly not how she ran her practice.
I am giving four stars for who I knew her to be and hope that she is able to recover from whatever has transpired in her life.

I too was a patient of Dr. Traynor for years to deal with my migraines. To my surprise the office is permanently closed without notice. Wow! I am out of migraine medication and my prescription can not be renewed until I see a Neurologist again. Now what!!! I need to start all over scheduling an appt. with my primary care doctor, so she can give me a referral and I can see another doctor. In the meantime, I am out of migraine meds. No matter what the reason, a simple notice either referring us to a new doctor or letting my primary care provider know so they could let their patients know would have been greatly appreciated.

Dr. Traynor’s office closed, left patients hanging without notice, voicemails unanswered, prescriptions not filled, calls not returned. She just disappeared. You simply did not get your call returned. Another month went by and I called her private cell number. No answer. Then I called the hospital, Saddleback, to see if she was still on staff or if they knew. Told if we want our records, write to her office; it will be forwarded to her home. They only surmised, with me b/​c they couldn’t say, that something was wrong with her.
So anyone know what happened to Dr. Traynor? She literally left all of her patients without a doctor. She’s not dead. I checked on that. Did she lose her mind? Is she in a psychward? What happened? I have fellow doctors at the hospital checking for me because I’m curious. All they could tell me is that it’s malpractice to leave patients without another doctor, for more than 30 days.
Poof. She disappeared. Never seen anything like it. Nor have others doctors.
Really, really bizarre

By far the worst Dr experience ever. We have been going to Dr. Traynor now for a couple years to help my mom with early signs of dementia. We received word that Dr. Traynors office was going out of business. We set an appointment with Dr. Traynor and visited her office. A couple days later we called and asked if she could write a letter stating that our mother is incapable of making decisions on her own so that we can receive power of attorney.
To my disbelief, she said in a screaming voice «WHAT DO YOU WANT», there is nothing I can do for you. I said we have been to your office many times and I’m asking if you can mail a letter to help my mom. She hung up the phone before I could even get anything out of her.

I have been lucky enough to have found South Orange Countys best Neurologist .She.tales her time to get to know you and make sure she checks her patients out completly. She will not rush you, she listens and she has a great relationship not only with her patients but she even keeps the same fantstic staff for years. She is what a caring, intelligent, up to date Doctor represents all in one. Trust me, give her and her great staff a try, you wont be sorry you will just be sorry you didnt try her sooner. She is located near Saddleback Hospital in Laguna Hills…
